Plans For the Labor Day
Parade.
Iron Molders Have Some
thing Up 1heirSIeeves.
They Say They Will Win the
Parade Prize.

The committee of the local Clerks
union, appointed by the Central Labor
Union to invite all merchants and man
ufacturers in the city to participate In
the industrial part Of the Labor Day
parade with floats, displaying their
products, announced Wednesday even
ing that 80 or more merchants had
accepted the invitation.
A number of the merchants who had
displays in the parade year ago, and
were ut a considerable loss because 1t
rained, and their goods were badly
damaged, are loathe to try the expert
ment again this year. However, the
committee is confident that sufficient
number will turn out to make this part
of the Parade a success.
The committee consists Of Messrs
Clarence Hill, August Yeck, Il. ].
Viers, VIM. Levison and Chas. ]. Rust.
The members of the Clerks union
feel confident of winning the $25 for
the best showing of local unions III
the Labor Day parade. They have
membership Of 130.
The Iron Molders' union is causing
much uneasiness among members of
other unions as to what kind of show
ing it's members propose making in the
parade. Last year 1t was universally
recognized as the best marching body
| in the procession. The efforts Of other
unions to get line on the kind of
uniform they will wear, have Jailed,
and the molders will reveal nothing ex-
cept saying that they will be in line
to a man, and propose to win the
prize.
The division comprised of the Allied
Printing trades will first form on How
ard street, and then march to the
street assigned to them by Chief Mar
shal Taneyhill. They will all wear a

Ifa Decision to Come

Crude Rubber Trust May Come
In Time.

in Akron which has been talked of
for several weeks. This factory is
in addition to the one the re-
moval of which to Akron is contem-
plated, being new company. The
beauty OF it is," said nn Akron man
who is interested that all the stock
will be taken, ana Akron men VIII not
be asked to put up third or quar-
ter Of the ,dpital to secure the loca-
tion of the concern here"
1T looks reasonable to me-" said
an Akron rubber man yesterday,
THAT combination Of rubber i'm
porters will be formed eventually. 1t
may not come for few years. but 1t
probably will come in time. "A year
or so ago plans to this end came near
going through, and the matter is still
talked of In circles which would be
nightly interested in such an under
taking. In time the rubber crolIs
must be cared for entirely by the more
civilized nations. The rubber must
be produced from regular plantations"
IT find that the best results are OBJ
tanned by training my own help" an
official of an Akron rubber factory
said last night ut is not. always
easy to do but the most satisfactory
service iss obtained from employees
who have come to our factory as green
hands and have learned the business
with us. The help which is hired from
other factories, though experienced, is
not always as good as could be dc
sired. There are many things, ip some
cases, which they must unlearn before
they can do work as we want II
done"
Attempts have been made for d
number of years to manufacture sub
stitutes for rubber and displace the
expensive rubber articles now on th'
market.
Recent advantages in the price of tli'
real article have stimulated the eff

been as yet found for soft rubber AZ
ticles. Compounds have been fount
that could be used much more cheap

of hard rubber articles, but the sleep
less nights and the efforts put fortl
by inventors who see the fortune
that is in plain sight for the man VIII
can originate compound that will
take the place and stand all the test

practically amounted to nothing.
Rubber has peculiar qualities tina
cannot be duplicated although effort
have been made for many years t

Of his constructors and advisers held
this evening on board the Erin. Sir
Thomas Upton told the gentlemen that
he was determined to go ahead with the
Shamrock II and left it with them to de-
eide now this could best be done. 1t was
agreed to cable the New York Yacht
Club, asking that the date of the contest
be postponed until the first week in Oc
tober in order to allow time for the
necessary repairs. 1t was decided to lose
no time but to go ahead under full pres
sure while awaiting a reply from the
New York Yacht Club as TO whether the
rostponement would be grained.
Sir Thomas expressed himself as ex-
tremely sorry at being forced to make
any requests upsettins the arrangements
made but without this extension of time
he woulu be totally unable to bring his
boat over in anything like good form and
he said he sincerely hoped that his re-
quest would be granted.
Speaking of the improvements in the
Shamrock l, Sir Thomas said he had no
doubt that this yacht had improved much
since she sailed in American waters, and
that he felt perfectly certain she was far
from being as good boat as the chal-
lenger. The latter, he said, had been i'm
proving daily.
Thomas w. Lawson cabled to Sir Thom-
as that, If it were impossible to bring the
Shamrocks over he was willing to take
the Independence over to England and
race either or both of the Shamrocks IN
British waters. Sir Thomas replied that
he was going over with the new Sham
rock, and If an opportunity offered he
would be delighted to race the Independ-
ence in American waters.

ploy a physician in the case. For ten
days the child had been without medical
attendance.
Pierson in his own defense in his trial.
said he was member of the Christian
Catholic Church of Chicago.
For ten days the second child had been
without medical attendance. it is said. At
first the child was attended by DR.. ]. b.
Garrison.
The neighbors of Mrs. Pierson besought
her last night to call in a physician to
attend the child who was suffering with
pneumonia, but she replied that prayer
was all that was necessary to restore the
little one to health.
According to the statement of servant
in the Pierson household the child died
at 1 o'clock this morning and two hours
later Mrs Pierson took a train for Man
haitian. The maidservant said to an
Evening Journal reporter that Mrs.
Pierson had told her she feared arrest
in the matter of the death of the child.

Society would take her two other chill
dren, Howard and Luther away from
her.
DIR. II. Garrison said to-day:
Il saw the baby four or FIVE times at
my office. The last time l saw it was
week ago last Tuesday When l saw the
child first ID was suffering from bron-
chitis. 1t had been weakly from its birth
l probably could not have saved its life
if l had been in constant attendance. 1
never went to the Pierson home. l be-
lieve the child died from pneumonia"
Mr. Pierson gave his lawyer to-day all
the points necessary to prepare an ap-
peal 10 the Supreme Court. Mr. Pierson
admits that he believes doctors and medi-
cines are worthless features of this life
and that the only cure for all diseases
is through the power of prayer. Mrs.
Pierson. who is also faith curist, says:
My husband was perfectly right. He
committed no crime, and l shall stand by
him and see that he gets Justice"
