the pleasure of the drive and the coaches
rolled into Wawano shortly before IL

the trip to Raymond was begun. The
driver of the Presidents coach was on his
mett1e, and he put the horses to their best

The run from Awahnee to Raymond was
the busiest of the trip. An escort of caval-

Raymond. When Berenda was reached the
President found large crowd gathered to
greet him.

AS GOMPERS SEES 1T.


Thing for All Concerned.
WASHINGTON, May S.-President Sam
uel Gompers,. of the American Federation
of Labor, is an advocate of the organiza-
ton Of employers, as well as of workmen.
Speaking on this topic to Post reporter
to-day, Mr.. Gompers said:
Employers will find it to their advan-
tage to be organized, and not only this, but
to deal with organized labor. The move
ment to form unions among the business
men will tend rather to prevent conflict
than to promote trouble. The better the
organization on both sides the better it
will be for business. Organized employers
will be better able to understand the de-
mand of organized labor and to meet these
demands without friction.
There has been much hot talk about
the increasing demands of labor. My ex-
perience has taught me not to be an alarm
list, and l am not alarmed over this par
ticular situation in general. So long as
human nature is as it is there will be man
ifestations of discomfort, both from Ia
borers and from employers. But l believe
that every day is making for better con-
ditions. We hear more Of labor troubles
now than we did years ago, but we must
not Judge too hastily from this that Ia
borers are anymore widely discontinued
or that they are unreasonable. When an
industrial dispute occurs In our time it
involves so much that it must attract
more attention. But every dispute is an
influence toward a better condition of
things in the future"

Clerk May he Dismissed.

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-Second Assist
ant Postmaster General Shallenberger to-
day directed that Svend Schibsby. a rail-
way postal clerk at Kansas City. show
cause why he should not be dismissed for
promoting suits against the government
for travelling expenses of postal employees.
There are 1900 railway postal clerks in the
country and the purpose is to prevent a
widespread movement having i'm view the
prosecution of a claim which the depart
ment regards as preposterous. The posi-
ton OF the Postoffice Department is that
the designated headquarters of these clerks
is the route which their runs are made
and not the city or town where they may
happen to live. A case is now pending in
the Court of Claims in this city involving
this question of their travelling expenses.

CASsINI BLAMES THE JEWS.


WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Count Cassini.
the Russian ambassador. in a conversation
to-day with representative of the Asso-
ciated Press relative to the Jewish troubles
in Russia, said:
There is in Russia. as in Germany and
Austria. a feeling against certain of the
Jews. The reason for this unfriendly atti-
tude is found in the fact that the Jews will
not work in the field or engage in agricul-
ture. They prefer TO be money-lenders.
Give a Jew a couple of dollars and he be-
comes a banker and money broker. In this
capacity he takes advantage of the Rus
sian peasant whom he soon has i'm his
power and ultimately destroys 1t is when
the patience of the peasant is exhausted
that a conflict between peasants and Jews
occurs. Ordinarily, the Russian is a very
patient person. but IL is only natural that
for the one who has wrought his ruin"
