EMPLOYERS COMBINE
The First Steps Taken in New York
to Resist Labor Unions.
OVERFLOW MEETINGS HAD TO Be HELD
irresponsible Combinations Acting By .
Board of Walking Delegates De-
nounced - Employer League
Formed In BROOKLYN.

New York, May 16.-The first steps
toward effecting a general organiza-
ton Of employers in the building
trades for the purpose of offering
united resistance to the demands Of
the labor unions were taken last
night at meetings held in Manhattan
and Brooklyn. The meeting in Man
haitian was held in the Building
Trades club, 700 employers being
present and the throng being SO
great that overflow meetings were
held In the various assembly rooms
of the club. The meeting was in pri-
vate and at its close the following
statement was given out as the senti-
ment Of the various speakers:
"The complete paralysis of the
building industry has been brought
about by irresponsible combinations
acting through tyrannical board OF
walking delegates, or business agents,
which demand prompt and energetic
action by all good citizens who have
the welfare of our great city at
heart.

COMMERCIAL REPORT.
Weather and Labor Conditions DRAWBACKS
to Trade-No Sign of Weakness In
Steel and Iron Products.

New York, May 16.-Brsdstreet1
commercial report says: Weather
and labor conditions have been fan
from perfect for the progress Of re
tail trade, planting operations and
growth and building, but the ten
dency to regard these drawbacks as
merely temporary is still present,
though the feeling as to labor dis
putee is that continued unsettlement
will work serious damage to all in
terests concerned. Wholesale trade,
naturally quiet at this season, also
reflects the above feature, but so
great is the confidence in the future
outlook that, except in the case OF
cotton manufacturing, where the
cost of raw material has been pushed
to almost prohibitive heights, opti-
mistic views still rule.
Pig iron furnishes notable excep-
ton to the strength Of other staples,
weakening as it has, at all markets,
this inducing spreading Of stories
that steel billets were lower at the
west. No sign of weakness in finished
steel and iron products can be found
at the leading western centers, but
there Is q feeling that heavy imports
of foreign billets may shortly affect
prices for that product at seaboard
markets.

A RACE WAR.
Whites whipping and killing Negroes Near
Burns, Mlss.-How the Trouble
Was Started

Laurel, Miss, May 16.-A race war
has broken out near Burns, Smith
county. The whites there are up in
arms and are whipping and killing
negroes wherever they find them.
One white man is reported to have
been MORALLY wounded and several
negroes killed. The trouble started
by a negro leaving q crop which he
had planted for white farmers. The
farmers gathered some Of their ne
gro neighbors about them and went
after the negro. On their way to
where the negroes were the party
was ambushed, the negroes firing in
to them, and Mr.. Craft, farmer,
was mortally wounded. The white
men returned the fire and the me-
groes fled, the whites pursuing them.
The riot began Tuesday and 1t is said
that the enraged white men Of the
community are still in the saddle
searching for the negro who insti-
gated the trouble.

A CHURCH DYNAMITED.
A Bomb Exploded Under the Pulpit OF thu

Evanston.


Chicago, May 16.-Another negro
church was wrecked by dynamite
last night when bomb was exploded
Under the pulpit Of the African
Methodist church at Evanston. The
interior was demolished and the
front of the building blown out. Two
motives are ascribed for the demoh-
ton of the building. The first 10 that
certain colored people were incensed
by sermon preached last week by
the pastor, Rev. I. N. Daniels, who
said this was the white mans coun-
try and that the colored man might
as well make up his mind to 1t now
ana get along the best he could. The
other is that policy gamblers were
incensed at the position taken by the
pastor and a guest from Chicago who
had spoken against policy"
The Institutional church in this
city was wrecked by dynamite last
Sunday night after DR.. R. C. Ransim,
the pastor, had preached a sermon
against policy.

New York, May 1e.-The Army and

CONFESSED TO BOODLING.
Ex-State Senator Busche Tells of His Cam
nection with Corrupt Deals in the
Missouri Legislature.

St. Louis, May 16.-Unable to bear
longer mental torture, which he says
he has suffered since the grand jury
investigation into legislative boodling
was instituted, former State Senator
Fred L. Busche went before Circuit
Attorney Folk yesterday afternoon
and made q complete and far-reach-
ing confession of his connection with
corrupt deals. extending over a Pc
riod of eight years. Busche's decla-
rations involve several men of promi-
nence and he names those who have
been conspicuous at the state capital
as distributors of Doodle.
Later Busche was taken before the
grand jury, where he remained an
hour. When he emerged from the
jury room tears were rolling down
his cheeks. With his face buried in
his hands he hurried down the steps
10 the Eleventh street exit of the
building.
The following shows the revenue
derived by Charles F. Basche as a re-
ward for his complaisance to cor
porate and other influences which de-
sired the enactment of legislation
or that some measure which affect
ed tneir pecuniary interests might
be suppressed, smothered or stran-
gled, as was deemed best: Street
railway consolidation, $500; school
book legislation, $1,000; steam rail-
way legislation, $4,000; resolution to
keep bills in committee, $3.50; other
bills. 10000.

Move to Operate Laundries Falls.

Chicago, May 16.-Failing to break
the deadlock with the Laundry Work
ers' union by efforts to secure arbi-
tration, laundry owners throughout
Chicago whose plants have been tied
up for two weeks by the strike, un-
dertook to operate the laundries. By
a concerted movement a score Of
laundries opened for business.
Pickets from the Laundry Workers
union were on guard, however, and
girls who started to work were
stopped and told to go home. Many
obeyed. Engineers and fremen re-
fused to take their posts. Drivers Of
laundry wagons all over the city were
prepared to prevent the delivery Of
work from any of the establishments
who have not signed the union agree
ment to work exclusively with union
hands. The result was that Of II
big steam washing and ironing es-
Establishments which started the move
ment to break the strike, only two
were reported still running at night.
