PENNSY Wins SUIT
AGAINST EMPLOYEES
After Long Contention in
Courts Succeeds in Defeat
ing Wage Attachments

Altoona, Pa. oct. 1.-The following
announcement was made at the gen.
eral Offices of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company here:
"The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has. after a long contention in
the courts and considerable expense
and trouble. succeeded in defeating
the collection agencies of W. W. Rog-
ers and G. o. Smith in the attachment
of wages of its employees under the
laws of West Virginia and Missouri,
and also secured a general release
from these people, discharging the
railroad company from all further liza
bility as garnishee in these cases. All
money, therefore. now in the hands of
the company will be returned to the
employees as fast as it can be gathered
in from tho different departments.
This will necessarily take some days. "
During the two years the wages of
1862 employees were tied up, the total
sum of money aggregating over $780,
900. The old claims we're bought by
Rogers and Smith from merchants, so
cents on the dollar being paid for
them. They were then sued out in
West Virginia and Illinois. Eight hun
dred were duplicated in Missouri, but
the courts declared them illegal With
in the next 10 days the money will be
returned to the men.

age Of civilization almost beyond belief
Consular reports show the destruction
of from 100 to 13O Bulgarian villages
The buildings We're first sacked and
then burned. over 10000 Bulgarians
have been killed, that is. massacred,
and $1,000 are without shelter.
These facts. as stated in reports to
European governments, probably un.
derestimate the truth. Then the work
Of the Bulgarians in the same line Of
destruction, though minus the masaa-
cros OF women and children, add to
the horrors Of the situation. That the
condition of affairs was and is intolera-
bio to the Bulgarians needs no argu-
ment when they are ready to suffer
such atrocities In the effort to better
their condition. Turkey has more
troops engaged in slaugtering the Bull
garians than she had employed in
fighting the Russians in the last war
with that nation.
But the Powers viii not interfere
They care too much for their own sell
fish interests to stop this frightful bru-
tality IN Macedonia. The Bulgarians
may not be deserving Of help, but the
destruction Of human life on both sides
should be stopped. peace enforced and
Turkey compelled to give the people
Of Bulgaria a decent government. That,
however cannot bo done by Turkey
excepting through foreign agency

who owe their culture. wealth and po-

IRON WORKERS CONVENTION

Kansas City, Mo-. Oct. 1.-samuel
Parks, walking delegate from New
York, waved his magic wand over the
delegates to the annual convention Of
the International Association Of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
and brought peace and harmony out Of
conditions that seemed only TO por-
tend strife and a split that might have
meant a disruption Of the organiza-
ton. Before the convention convened
the followers of President Buchanan
intimated strongly that they would
withdraw If money were voted to Lo-
cal No. 2. of New York. Later, after
Parks had addressed the delegates,
they voted $1,000 on a loan from the
organization. Practically no opposi-
tion to the appropriation was dis
played.
Mr. Parks evidently had reconsid-
cred his plan to ask the convention to
vote an assessment of 81 against each
of the $4,000 throughout the country,
and he ridiculed the statement that he
would finally ask that each member Of
the association donate a days salary.
which would aggregate close TO $780,
600.
Another victory, in a way, for the
New York leader. was the action Of the
convention in voting almost unani-
mously to affiliate with the American
Federation Of Labor.

peIaware,s Failure.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Delaware has wholly failed to exc
cute its own laws. Chief Justice Lore
and his associates, by refusing to call
a special court for the prompt and
speedy trial Of the negro guilty of a
crime which has justly stirred the State
TO its depths, prevented righteous and
instant execution OF law on a criminal
lf-confessed. and opened the way TO
the crime OF tho mob The grand jury
now refuses to act on the crime Of the
mob, and the State stands before the
country powerless to prevent crime or
to punish Il.
In three successive stages the State
has failed in It's duty and I'm this coun-
try state" is but its citizens. Della
ware left its roads without adequate
police and Its semi -criminal and GRIM
inal population Of both colors without
adequate check. All mon knew that
the human wolf was abroad, now black
and now white, but more black than
white. Yet Delaware leaves its coun-
try roads without guard and all our
States leave with insufficient punish
ment the offense and attempts at tho
offense which led to the mob. Only one
penalty--surgical-- adequate.
Having made It easy for the human
wolf 20 do his awful work. Delaware
did not provide q prompt court by law,
and the judges refused TO provide one
by special order a grievous response
biiity they must over carry. The mob
came. Mob power and mob spirit ST.
ienced and sopped the course OF law in
June. Oncial apathy and public SYM
pathy stop Il now.
No state can retain public respect
maintain public order or continue the
orderly execution OF law where such
things are. Ii is certain 10 90 on from

Ice eovERNMENT IS suPREME.

The decision Of the President in tho
miller case should occasion no sur
prise; indeed. any other decision would
have placed labor unions above tho
government and have been subversive
Df our institutions. The President
simply says that the government will
continue to exercise its right OF en-
ploying those il wishes 70 employ and
OF dismissing those it wishes to dis
miss. and that a question of the ht-
ness OF an employe Is a matter for the
government to decide. Organized labor
cannot overthrow that doctrine for the
reason that it is so sound. so eminently
fair that a majority Of our laboring
men will endorse it.
Organized labor has great mission,
and OF course in Its earnestness and
Enthusiasm is liable to make grave mis-
takes. Yet to stubbornly maintain a
false position is the greatest mistake
sf all. Mr.. Roosevelts chances for
domination and election will not be
