Carroll D. Wright's Views on
Arbitration as . Remedy.
BE FAIR AND DECENT.
Doesn't Take q Hopeful View Of
Anthracite Situation.
How the President Is Handi-
capped in the Matter.

Chicago, Sept. 20-'I do not think
that arbitration is the panacea for labor
troubles that some persons seem to con-
slider it, said Carroll D. Wright, United
States commissioner OF labor, last
night. That is why I did not recon-
mend it in my recent report on thu coal
strike'
Mr.. Wright is on his way to Mime

Question:" before the national conven-
ton of employers and employees next
Monday, and which will be addressed by
President Roosevelt next Thursday.
(. The practical and to my way of
thinking. the proper way to settle Ia
bor troubles" sai0 Mr.. Wright, lis for
both sides to be fair and decent and
ought to be able to do this better, and
certainly can do it with far more mu-
tual satisfaction, than by having out
siders step in and settle their trou-
bles."
The commission does not take a hope

Il can not saw when the strike will
end" he declared
Speaking of President Rooseve1t's po-
sition in the matter Mr.. Wright said:

AS quickly as possible a rescue party
was organized and as soon as the en-
trance was cleared began the removal

Rev. DR.. T. w. Walker. pastor Of Shi-

''Shiloh church is a modern brick
structure, and has just been completed

frances to the building and the main
one is 16 feet wide. The deaths were
caused by everybody trying to rush out
of the main entrance at the same time.
Inside the church not bench was
overturned, and all of those who were
killed died in or about the entrance
The people near the front of the church

ton, searching for missing friends and
relatives who might have been killed

fifty bodies had been identified, the
greater number of them being local
residents who were visitors to the con-
vention. In front of each undertaking
establishment where the corpses lie a
squad of policemen kept back the surg
ing throng. Every effort is being made
to identify those bodies which have not
yet been claimed.
Those who have missing friends and
relatives have been requested to make
a round of the undertaking establish
ments, and also to make known through
the newspapers the names of the miss
ing. The fact that delegates to the
convention were from all parts of the
country, many of them being strang-
ers, renders the work of identification
somewhat slow. 1t is expected that at
least a dozen of the injured will die.
After midnight last night several bodies
of persons who were crushed in the
panic were found lying in the weeds in
the vacant lot adjoining the church
They had scrambled out of the mass of
struggling humanity with broken limbs
or crushed breasts and had crawled
away in this manner to die.

Elder TAYLOR said that when he and

STATE JOURNALS NEW rnEss.

It was necessary to print the State
Journal about two hours earlier than
usual today. so that work might be
started at installing the new double
deck Goss press which after many de-
lays is on the ground. The taking down
of the old press and installing the new
one will require several days. During
that time the State Journal will be
printed on the Daily Capital press

A Novel Mobile Race.

New York, Aug. 23-One of the
most unique contests of the year was
the automobile obstacle race, which
was one of the events held under the
auspices of the Long Island Automobile
club at the Brighton Beach track to-
day. The cleverness displayed by the
chauffeurs in avoiding the obstacles on
the track gave proof of the dexterity,
rapidity of thought, calculation and
other qualities they had doubtless ac-
quired by threading their way through
the crowded city throughfares, and at
the same time it demonstrated the
thorough mastery the expert driver
has over his vehicle under the most
trying and bewildering conditions.

GOOD UNION MAN.

The Denver Democrat editorially
states that no man in Colorado has
rendered more valuable service to or
ganized labor than has Senator Moore
OF Fremont county. That is the pose
the senator is assuming when playing
to the galleries but in private life it
is different. Mr. Moore had to be
waited upon by committee from the
typographical union and threatened
with having the label taken out OF
the office, before he would put in a
union foreman. And he kicked like a
bay steer when the union forced Frank
r. Warner to take out card while he
was working on the cases.
Moore is great union man when it
doesn't effect his pocket book.
