Typographical Union No. 6, of New
York, the largest body of printers in
the United States, has issued an adj
dress to the labor Of America, reciting
the course of the Republican New York
Sun towards union labor, recounting
the utter failure of ali efforts to in
duee Mark Hanna, Senator Platt. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Benz. B. Odell, Republi-
can candidate for Governor of New
York, and other influential Republi-
cans, to bring about settlement, and
concludes in these words
by virtue of the action of your Board
of Delegates on September g. and later
on September is. and for the reasons
briefly summarized here, | appeal to all
members of the Union irrespective of
previous political affiliation. 10 assist in
administering a deserved rebuke to the
leaders of the Republican Party for their
refusal to repudiate the New York Sun as
a party organ.
Remember the unfairness of the New
York Sun to its old employees on August
s. 1899. and remember that he who lends
aid and comfort TO your enemy. while
processing to be your friend. is to be

MAJOR NORTON CRITICIZED.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-I am opposed to the cruel and
unjust war now being waged by Me-
Kinley, Hanna & Co. against the in
habitants of the Philippine Islands. A
few short years ago Mckinley said such
a war would be criminal aggression
then believed SO, and | believe so
now. Col. Tom Norton and his friend
the lamented A. W. Campbell, believed
at that time that such war would be
criminal aggression. Does Col. Norton
believe now as he did a few short years
ago? II not. why not?
| believe there is no rightful power
in our government to hold in subsection
the inhabitants of distant countries,
and il the imperialistic policy OF the
administration is sustained by the votes
of the people in November next, our
republican form of government will be
a thing of the past. Our friend, Col.
Norton, is a retired officer of the
United States army; as such he Is SUBJ
ject TO the orders OF the President of
the United States.
/ don't blame him for entertaining
the views he expresses, but | do blame
him for extensively running into print
and defaming hts fellow citizens. who
are as brave as he is. as patriotic as
he Is and who served the country as
faithfully as he ever did. and who ara
ready and willing to serve it to-day II

cilating administration upon the de-
mand of the notorious Mark Hanna,
Steve Elkins and the trusts In re-

A DISSENTING VOICE.

Senator and Republican Boss Mark
A. Hanna lately settled down to the
opinion that there are no trusts in the
United States, and has reiterated this
deliberate conviction upon several
occasions He has even gone so far as
to try to give a careful definition Of
what a trust really is, and concludes
that there are none in existence.
Now listen to this expression of a
Numerically opposite nature by
Charles Emory Smith, Postmaster Cen
eral, in the course of his address to a
Republican meeting, at Cleveland, night
before last:
II do not think there is any reason why
I should hesitate to say that there are
trusts in this country and that they are
prejudicial to the interests of the people.
The trust question is big one and COM
plicated one and demands wise treatment.
The only way to reach the root of the evil,
in my opinion, is through legislation"
Now, what is Republican to believe?
Hanna says the trust is a myth. Post
master General Smith says they do
exist, and goes further and declares
they are prejudicial to the interests of
the people. If these eminent leaders of
the grand old party don't Immediately
explain and reconcile their divergent
views they will have the main body
OF the organization worse muddled
than ever.
