Gigantic Association to Oppose Unions
Arbitrary Demands.
Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 6.-Plans are
being prepared for the formation with
headquarters in New York, of a Ma
tional Employers Association, whose
purposes it will be to protect the i'll
terest of the employers, great and small
against suffering through the unreason-
able demands Of organized labor. The
Association will, when rounded out,
include all the great manufacturers of
the country, the railroads, great retail
interests and the majority Of banking
institutions. Nearly all the existing or
ganizations, local in scope, but with the
same object in view, will be affiliated
with the national body.
It has practically been decided that
the National Association shall work
on these basic principles: Breedom of
contract-that is, no dictation by labor
unions; no sympathy strikes to be toll
Grated, no limitation of output, enforce
ment of law.
The purpose of the Association will
not be to fight organized labor, but
solely to protect business interests.
Arbitration will not be opposed, neither
will it be an integral factor in the
workings of the national body.

to the belief that a plan of action had
been outlined that would. tend to ex-
pediate the examination by the public
printer Of the charges preferred against
w. A. Miller by the government who
have been brought into the case, and it
is asserted by those. who are in a po-
sition to know that the matter will be
held in allegiance for the present and
considered calmly and dispassionately
and in some future time. For the gov
ernment there is no need of hurry in
this matter. !. The administration of
the laws Of the United. States does hot
become excited, though unions may,
and in this case there is abundant evil
6ence at hand that the rule will be
adhered to.
A short time since the impression was
general that the public printer had been
placed in such a delicate situation by
the action of the bookbinders that he
would be very soon forced to show his
hand and declare for the union or the
man they are. fighting: This feeling
has lost followers, and the impression
prevails that ample time will be taken
to carefully consider the case and ex-

to be contributed to the strike fund of

This defendant received a large sum
Of money from men who worked by the
sweat Of their brows to earn an honest
living, that they might put honest bread
in the mouths of their children.
"Twenty-seven thousand dollars is a
large sum of money indeed and the
evidence at the trial shows that it was
spent in riotous living and for a trip
to Europe"
When the judge had finished Murphy
was crying bitterly and appeared to be
about to collapse.

Everyone of the officers of the union
got share of the money. There was
not one that did not have finger in
the graft"
Judge Newburger paid no attention
to the frantic man. Murphy wanted
to go to Sing Sing at once.
Mr.. Mcintyre, his attorney, would
have asked for a certificate of reason

the court of appeals had it not been

with the resolution adopted at the New
Orleans Convention of that body recent
ly, the executive committee held a sess-
ion in Indianapolis and formulated a
plan to create a fund of ST. 100000 for the
purpose Of assisting members who re-
sist the tyranny of organized labor.
The proposition is to be submitted to
vote of the membership and if it is
approved work will be commenced to
accumulate the fund. In order to throw
dust in the eyes of the public it is spe-
cifically mentioned that employers who
declare lockouts will not secure aid
from the N. A M. but care was taken
ITO say nothing about actions of bosses
who force lockouts by making condi-

are thus compelled to go on strike.
The cause of labor is frequently men,

smashers say, but by what is left un-

WEARY OF WORK, DIES.
Chicago 14-Year- Old Girl Compelled to
Work Till III and Dizzy, Takes
Takes Poison.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Drudging from early
morn until night, working day by day
to earn food for herself and parents,
Sarah Solomon, a 14-year old child labor
slave, found life's battle too hard for
her frai constitution. and she ended
the struggle by drinking poison last
night.
Though the law seeks to protect
children of tender age, Sarah Solomon
had been forced to work in a laundry.
The task was great and feeling that her
strength was failing her she gave up
the place and went Monochrome to die.
In front of her home at Liberty
street, in Chicago, her aged father,
Aaron Solomon, found her Writhing in
pain at II o'clock at night.
In her hand she elapsed an empty
bottle and on her lips there was the
door of carbolic acid. Her lustreless
eyes and the white-scarred lips, burned
by the poison, told the rest of the story.
1T was the hard work, papa" she
gasped, "the hard work. 7 couldn't
stand it,
The father sought a physician. but
no physician could be found, and, suf-
fering intense pain, the little sufferer
was finally taken by the police to the
County Hospital. But medical aid was
Of no avail and after lingering and
moaning for an hour she died shortly
after midnight.
Sarah Solomon was a laundress. Only
IA years old and yet she was compelled
to do the work that maturue and
stronger women would have shirked.
She labored until her strength had
left her and then she decided to die.
She returned shortly before supper and
told her father she had quit her place.
Its too hard work, papa,'' she said.
II cannot stand it. Z just work from
the time I get there until the whistle
blows and then I am SO weak that IL
seems my head goes round and round,''

and when she had washed the dishes
and cleaned up the room she spent an
hour reading the paper insearchs of a
more suitable place.: :

Typographical Union and getting the
worst of it. The Tribune had a lengthy
editorial one day last week in which
1t facetiously and ssarcastically spoke
OF the Book Binders Union as consid-
ering itself the dog, of which the Gov
ernment is the tail, and otherwise
waxed exceeding merry over the stu
alton. From the fact that the Tribune
IS held responsible for the defeat the
two Republicans for President of the
United States by reason Of it's non-un-
ion record in-18S4, when the cry of
Boycott the Tribune and James G.
Blaine" as blameless as Mr.. Blaine
unquestionably was for the sins of the
Tribune, changed enough votes to de-
feat him, and in 1892, when Whitelaw
Ried, its editor, was the milestone that
swamped Mr.. Harrison-the only de-
feats the Republican party has suf-
fered since 1S56-that paper will scarce
ly be held as a valuable adviser in pol
1tlcal matters. where the allegiance of
the workingman may be endangered.
