GET ONE SEAT.
Milwaukee Road Gsvts Its Conductors
Some Good Instructions.

General Superintendent Goodman Of
the Milwaukee road has called the at
tention of the conductors to the fact
that in the future if a passenger pays
but one fare he is entitled to but one
seat. 1t is aG everyday scene to ira
velers to see people from all the walks
of life occupying two seats by sitting
in one and piling his grips and feet
upon another No matter how crowded
the Car becomes as the train nears
large cities, the occupant of the seats
will seldom offer to share with a fell
low passenger. 1t will now become
the duty of the conductor to see that a
passenger is not sitting on the coal box
in the rear of the Car when seats can
be found by enforcing the new orders.
The rule will not apply to a passen-
ger with children who are under the
age limit, but Win be enforced against
those that carry three or'four grips
and store them OH the vacant seats

Wheat took: an upward junP of two
cents and corn of three cents on the
market in the grain centers Monday
as result of the government crop re-
port published late Saturday afternoon,
which rather cut down private esti-
mates of spring wheat and corn yields.
However, outside of a few localities,
the threshing machine seems to bring
out results which seem to Justify the
more conservative estimates of those
wha predicted a fair round crop of
wheat even in the face of the July
heated period.

Marseilles, Aug. 13.-F'rance prac-

Willemstad, Curacao, Aug. 13.-The

Washington, Aug. 13.-Mr. Heran
the Colombian charge d'affaires at
Washington, is still in official ignor.
Rnce of the momentous events which,
according to the press reports, are
transpiring on the Isthmus of Pana.
ma and along the Venezuelan border.
He attributes his lack Of information
10 a break in cable communication
with his country, the line from Buena
Ventura north having been reported
to be in very bad working order.
Mr.. Heran characterized the situa-
ton In the South as most bewildering.
The official advices concerning the
probable withdrawal of the Colombian
minister from Venezuela he regards
rs significant, though he points out
that the report distinctly stated that
Senior Rico, the minister there, had
not demanded, nor had he been pre-
scented. with his passports, and thus
the matter has been robbed of the
seriousness which would have been
given it by step of this sort.
The state department has author
lied the American charge Paffaires at
Caracas, Venezuela, to use his good
offices for Colombia in case the Co.
lombian minister at the Venezuelan
capital leaves that country. The state
department has no information as to
whether the Colombian minister has
withdrawn from Venezuela, or
whether Mr.. Russell is fulfilling this
temporary duty.
The navy department has now def
nitely determined to make use of the
battleship Iowa, instead Of the Wis
consin, for use on the Pacific side of
the isthmus in case affairs become
serious there.

SYMPATHY AND THE STRIKE.

The Fairmont Sentinel reprints a
paragraph from the Free Press refer
ring to the report that a number of
steel corporation plants which have
proved Improbable will be perman-
nently closed and says that it does not
take one bit of stock in it, that il is
the kind of stuff all the corporation
papers are dealing out, but that not
one word Of sympathy goes out from
them for the vast army of toilers and
thousands of women and children de-
pendent upon them. The battle it
says, is one of money against men and
is aided by powerful and subsidized
press. This is fair sample of the
demagogic stuff which the Sentinel is
continually dealing out. 1t seems to
delight in being demagogic rather than
be fair. Capital in its eyes has no
rights whatever, and it would have its
readers believe that every hand is
against that of labor. Now this is not
so and the Sentinel we'll knows it. The
Free Press is not corporation organ.
1t is not blind to the faults of the
great aggregations of capital, nor to
those of organized labor. 1t has read
widely in leading papers opinions on
the steel strike and with few excep-
lions it has found them very fair in
deed. But it must be truly said that
on the whole the strikers in this case
do not have..ful public sympathy. It
Is not question of wages They are
satisfactory, the highest ever, before
received by labor y The conditions
with the steel workers are not
such then as to call out the sympathy
of the public as was the case with the
coal miners. Again public"'sympathy
is not as strong with the strikers as it
would have been had they not refused
the offer from the steel corporation
which practically embodied what they
claim to be fighting for, and which
President Shaffer said would be accept
able.
Butsin spite of all this there is much
sympathy for labor in the struggle
and there has been no hope put forth
on the part of the so-ca1led corporation
papers that organized labor would be
crushed, The fact is the life of or
ganized labor is not really at stake in
this struggle, for no matter which side
wins, organized labor will sarvive and
will doubtless continue to grow in
strength everywhere. va
1t would indeed be calloused heart
that has not sympathy for the thous-
snds who will suffer because of this
struggle. struggle that would not
today be continued had the Amalga-
mated association as wise, broad and
able leader as Gompers Of the FEEDER
alton of Labor, Arthur of the Locomo-
tive Engineers or as was Mitchell of
the United Mine workers.
But reverting back to the little para
graph which aroused the ire of the
Sentinel, we will ask its editor if he
were manufacturer and was operating
several plants and one of them was
run at a large loss, il he would con-
tinue it's operation or close it down.
And if managing it for others how
long. he would expect to retain his
position and business reputation if he
continued to operate it at loss, with
no chance for Improvement in sight?

GoMPERS HOPES FOR PEACE
Willing to Cooperate in Any Move.
nnent to End the Strike,

Washington, Aug. 13.-President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor said that his organization
would use every peaceable means in
its power to assist the Amalgamated
Association in it's strike. Personally,
he hoped that an amicable adjust.
ment of the trouble might be arranged
and expressed his willingness to CO.
operate in any effort to bring about a
settlement of the conflict. He de-
clined to discuss further the attitude
of the American Federation towards
the strike and refused to say whether
a meeting of the Federation's execu-
tive council would be called to con.
slider the strike situation.

ANIMALS IN
THE CITY POUND
Makiki Captives not Fat But
are Certainly not
Starving

A rumor to the effect that the horses
and cattle at the Makik pound were
being insutficienty fed and watered
reached the Advertiser yesterday and
was investigated by the visit of re-
porter TO the corral.
The pound is situated opposite the
Makiki cemetery at the end OF Pensa-
cola street, and consists of about half an
acre Of fenced in bare ground, enclosing
one or two separate corrals and an open
barn.
The temporary occupants consist at
present OF one cow and three horses,
which, while not up TO the condition of
prize winners at a cattle show do not
show any symptoms of starvation.
The COW is apparently the worst condi-
tened of the quartet, all of which stand
about in apathetic attitudes, there being
absolutely no grazing of any descrip-
ton in the pound. Some of the fencing
and feeding trough have been extern
sively nibbled away, but between meal
times, the four-footed prisoners have
nothing to chew on, once their cud is ex-
'hausted. and they may have developed
the woodworking habit out of sheer
ennui. There is a trough of water, which
could stand cleaning out, into which a
small stream from a tap is constantly
flowing.
The animals are fed once daily, in the
morning, by the poundmaster, who
claims that the rations, consisting of
hay, are ample and as much as his own
cow gets, aside from what grazing she
can find in his garden patch.
kekuina, the poundmaster, Is paid
monthly salary of $35, out of which, and
his share of poundage fees he pays for
all advertisements and iced, recouping
himself with the balance for his own
services.
He asserts that one of the horses now
held has improved while under his
charge, and lays the change to the reg
ular food, though probably rest has been
the actual tonic in the case Kekuina
does not pretend to be running conva-
descent home for horses or to attempt to
fatten them, but he Indignantly denies
that they are starved.
The dispositions Of several of the neigh
bors verify the poundmaster,s state
ments and. compared with some of the
specimens of horsefesh that haul Pains
arks, the animals at Makili are fed on
the fat of the land-all except the COW.
The cow seems to be of a melancholy
type, which tendency, she being rum
mating animal, long contemplation of
the graveyard just across the way, may
have enhanced.
