THE LIQUOR QUESTION
Senator Simmons Says its
Manufacture Should be
Under State Control.
Especial to News and Observer.

Especial to News and Observer)
Washington, Dec. 2.-Senator Simmons,
speaking about the work of the Legis-
lature soon to assemble, said it was
greatly to be hoped that the Legislature
would take some action looking to the
regulation and adequate taxation by
the State of the manufacture of liquor.
He said there was a strong sentiment
in the State in favor of combining both
the sale and manufacture of liquor to
incorporated towns. But whatever
might be done with regard to this, it was
manifest that the manufacture of liquor
should be brought under State control
and police regulation, as far as that
could be done without conflict with tho
laws of the United States. He said il
the manufacture of liquor is to be al
lowed at all in the State, it should be-
come a source of larger revenue to the
State than under existing laws.
There isl he continued. mo greater
evil in the State than these little cop
per distilleries scattered about through
the country where police regulation is
impossible. Generally speaking, they
exert demonstrating influence upon
the community in which they are To-
Gated, debauching the morals and the
politics within the radius of their in
fuence. Besides, many Of them have
become recruiting stations for the Re-
publican party. In large measure,
they arc undoing the work of the schools
and the churches in these communities.
IF liquor is permitted to be manu-
featured only in Incorporated towns the
distilleries can be subjected to rigid po-
lice regulations and the evil Of the busi-
ness would be largely diminished. At
any rate they ought to be adequately
taxed by the State and no retail estab-
lishment ought to be allowed in con-
nection with a distillery, for large
part of the evil of these concerns grows
out OF the retail house which is almost
universally run in connection with them
"If the Legislature shall determine to
confine the sale and manufacture of whis-
key to incorporated towns. each town
should, by n general law, be given an
opportunity to vote upon the question of
prohibition or dispensary, SO that the
continuance of the traffic in each COM
munity would be made to depend upon
the majority vote of that community. OF

DEMAND MADE BY
POWERFUL UNIONS
Four Unions of Railroad Men
Act as One.
THEY ASK INCREASED PAY
One Hundred and Seventy Thousand Men Will
Give the Great Railroad Systems one
Month in Which to Meet
Their Demands.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Dec. 2-The Chronicle says:
With the purpose of formulating re-
quests for increases of from 10 to 20 per
cent. in the pay of 10000 railroad en-
ployes, committees from four powerful
labor organizations are now meeting in
Chicago. The four organizations repre-
scented by the committees arc:
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
! membership 41,000.
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
membership 1900.
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
| membership 10000
Order of Railway Conductors, member
ship $4,000.
For the first time in eight years, the
four organizations are working in har-
mony, and may be counted upon TO stand
together in the possibility of trouble
with the railroads.
1t is announced by members of the
committees representing the organiza-
lions that requests for increases in pay
will pe made by the four organizations
from every railroad system in the Middle
and Northwest. Eastern roads entering
the city will be similarly dealt with.
The railroads are to be given one
month to meet the demands made by the
organizations. If by that time the roads
shall fail to show a disposition to treat
with the individual organizations and
committees of their own men concerted
action will be taken. The four organlZa-
tions will send delegates to a national
conference which will meet in st. Louis

SAID TO HAVE INTERcEDED.
Alleged the Governor Taking Part in
Contest Over Appointments.

The Des Moines Leader says ac-
cording to the latest political gossip.
I Governor Cummins is taking part in
! the contest that has been stirred up
over the federal appointments in
| Iowa. This contest involves the ap.
pointment by the President of three
of the candidates indorsed by the
Iowa delegation recently These are
| H. G. Mcmillan of Cedar Rapids for
| United States district attorney for the
northern Adistrict, and ]. U. Sammis Of
LeMars And H. o. Weaver OF Wapel-
10 for revenue collectors. There is no
contest Oh Sammis, but he is concern
ed to the extent of being the possible
appointee for attorney in case McMil-
| Ian is turned down by the President
| 1t is said Governor Cummins has wir-
ed the President on behalf of Sammis,
and that he favors the retention OF
kemble and Patterson as revenue col
| lectors with the LeMars man for dis
trict attorney.
! Concerning the opposition Of Char
les 7. Hancock of Dubuque to McMil-
| Ian and Weaver, it is said the enmity
of Hancock for them, and especially
| for Mcmillan dates back to the May
|
convention of 1896, when delegates to
the national convention were selected.
Hancock wanted to be delegate-at-
large. The delegates We're selected by
committee of fifteen of which Nc
MILAN was one. Governor Shaw, j.
w. Blythe and other we'll known poll
ticians were on the committee. On
the informal vote the ballot stood to
Z for Hancock, as against DOC" Smith
of Cedar Rapids. But on the second
ballot Hancock was thrown down with
a hard and sickening thud. He blam-
ed Mcmillan for it, and, in fact, before
I the committee met, it is said, he had
become suspicious of him. He sent
out, a lieutenant to investigate and the
lieutenant reported that Mcmillan had
gone over to Smith. After the com
mittee meeting Hancock vowed ven
geance
