BRYAN MUST Be GOOD
EASTERN DEMOCRATS THINK HE
TOO CAUTIOUS IN HIS
CRITICISM
so SAYS. NEW YORK POLITICIAN
Eastern Leaders Confident of Demo
cratic Victory il Bryan VIII Meet
Them Half Way - Situa-
ton in New York.

Inc Eastern Democrats are becoming
just little bit eXasperated at William 7
Bryan because of mis- apparent decision to
oppose every suggestion made by them for
the future harmony of the partv. They
nave always had the highest respect for
MI. Bryan, and have had no disposition to
ignore him. but have desired his assist
ance in the re-eStabliShment of the party
out his attitude has been rather peevish
OF late and he has done little but criticfse
the men who have advanced any sugees-
tons for the rallying of the party for the
next campaign. If Mr.. Bryan is as will
ing to make concessions as the Eastern
democracy is, if he is willing to go half
way, he viii find them equally willing
me Eastern Democracy is dead in earnest
IN It's efforts to pun the party together for
victorious campaign, and the leaders
are "IIllhg TO make concessions whenever
they are in the interests of partv har-
mony." So said Mr.. w. J. Hammond
OF New Yorkicity, a well known politician
OF the metropolis, now in the Northwest
on business
Ihere is not much talk Of candidates
as yet In the East. The Democrats in
the East are not greatly worried over the
question OF candidates. They want to get
the situation in good shape before get
tlng into fight over candidates. All
eyes are upon New York. and the Eastern
leaders are combining their present efforts
TO New York. There is every reason to
peIleVe that Lewis Nixon, Mr. Coler and
David B. Hill are working in harmony in
the direction Of winning in the coming
New York campaign. The impression is
lhat Mr.. Coler Will be the Democrat tic
candidate for governor With Mr.. Gro
ker out of the fight, Mr.. Coler will have
the support of Tammany hall and of Mr.
lii Strength, which, with his natural
strength with the independent voterc
VIII come very close to electing him Coz
Ouel confesses his fears for the Repub
means IN the next state canpaign Tf
the democrats can wrest New York from
the republicans after their continuous
supremacy since 1894, the Easte.n De
mocracy will certainly claim the right IA
De heard In the national councils of the
party If New York elects a Demo
cratlc governor the state will give its
electoral vote to the next Democra tic
nominee for the presidency.
Ihlngs are drifting our way. The Pc.
publicans will be burdened by thei1. ~
pan policy, their ship subsidy record. and
President Roosevelt's personal mistakes
With a united front the Democracy can
win a glorious victory. The Eastarn
leaders expect, and rightfully. tIrat Mr.
Bryan will make reasonable concessions
and throw no straw in the way of com
plete Democratic harmony"

"EXTRAvAGANcE OF LABOR
Cotton Mill Owner Says 81 a Week
Wage-Earners Are Poor Because
They Squander Earnings
in Drink.

State Labor Commissioner O'Donnell
has been making special effort to OBJ
tain complete and accurate statistics
concerning the working hours and av-
erage wages of factory employees and
other mine workers and other laborers
of the state. The returns thus far re-
ceived indicate that the average empIoye
in this state fares considerably better
than the average employee Of most Of the
other states. In connection with this
investigation the commissioner has been
especially interested in reports from
other states concerning the same matters
He has received a report from the la
Dor bureau of North Carolina, in which
are tebulated the reports furnished by
the owners and operators Of the cotton
mills of that state, and some of these re-
ports are Of a character to surprise the
ignorant. One report which Commits
sioner O'DonnelI has pasted up for espe-
ctal reference is from the owner Of a
cotton mill, who reports that he en-
ploys some 500 men and women He
states that the men work thirteen hours
day and their average wage is 81 per
DAY; the women work twelve hours a
day and their average wage is 60 cents
One Of the questions asked is DO the
employees save any of their wages?"
This particular employer says Mine do

very careless, shiftIess and wasteful.
They are kept poor by their extrava-
gance and their drinking proclvities.
Commissioner O'Donnen, when he read
this, remarked: rs not this delicious.
The employees do not save their wages
because Of Their extrava gance. They
are given to drinking. Well, they must
be able to indulge their drinking pro-
chvities to the verge of ruination on the
munifcent' bounty of ST per week After
paying their rent, and supporting their
families, the men must resort to the most
riotous living to squander their royal in
heritance.
The report contains many other state
ments Of a similar nature One man,
the boss Of a cotton mill, says that he
earns 81 week and supports a family
Of four on that amount, paying So per
