LOWELL STRIKE.
Textile Workers Seeking to
Settle the Difficulty.
National Body Wants to Secure a
Week of SIS Hours.
Association Ready to Aid in Every
Other Way Possible.

Fall River. Mass, May 27.-The effect
of the Lowell strike upon the United
Textile Workers of America, the Ma
tional Association of Textile Operatives
was shown. today, at meeting OF the
executive committee held here: 1t was
shown that the association is paying
little attention to strikes in any other
section of the United States, but IS
bending all its energies in the direction
of Lowell No action was taken direct
ly on the Lowell strike, today, the COM
mittee members stating that the whole
affair was in the hands of the unions
and the Textile council in Lowell and
under their management.
The Textile Workers of Philadelphia
requested the endorsement of the ma
tional body of a strike to secure a 90
hour week. After a long discussion the
secretary was authorized to notify the
operatives that under present condi-
tions in Textile circles no endorsement
could be given but that the association
stood ready to aid in every other way
possible.
A communication from the cotton
mill operatives at Henderson. KY, re-
cited that the owners of the Henderson
cotton mills had declared their inten-
ton of breaking up the recently form
ed union. The committee decided that
no aid could be given because under
the constitution no union is entitled to
aid until it has paid a per capita tax.
The same answer was given to the en-
ployes in Admission, Ala, who claim
that men have been discharged for
holding office in the union.
In Granville, S. c., the manufacture
ers contemplate a three months shut
down on account of the high price of
cotton and depressing trade conditions.
The secretary was ordered to notify the
operatives that the organization pays
no benefits by reason of trade depres-
sions or shut downs for that cause.
Permission was granted the weavers'
union of Holyoke to be exempt from
paying their assessment for the benefit
of the Lowell strikers owing to their
financial condition.

FOR ROOSEVELT.
The Pennsylvania Republicans
Name Next President.
A Convention Remarkable for the
Unanimity Of Sentiment.
Senator Quay Was Not Present at
Convention.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 27.-The Repub-
lican state convention, today, endorsed
Mr.. Roosevelt for the Presidency and
declared against any change in the
present tariff schedules. The state adj
ministration was strongly endorsed and
no mention was made in the platform
of the Grady-Salus libel law enacted by
the recent Legislature. United States
Senator Quay declined to accept a re-
election as chairman of the state COM
mittee and his colleague, Senator Boise
PenrOse, was chosen his successor.
The convention was remarkable for
the unanimity with which it disposed of
it's business and the lack of contest for
four places on the state ticket. Sena-
tor William =. Snyder of Chester coun-
ty was nominated for auditor general:
William l.. Matthews of Delaware
county for state treasurer, and Judges
Thomas Morrison of McKeen county
and John J. Henderson of Crawford
county for superior court judges
Judges Morrison and Henderson are
at present members of the superior
court by appointment of the governor
and their nomination is for the full
term of 10 years. The convention was
held much earlier than usual on "otl
years" on account of the desire of Sen
ator Quay and the other party leaders
to be away during the summer. MI.
Quay was not here during the cOnVcn-
ton and his interests were in charge
of Senator PenrOse and other lieuten-
ants, who have been on the ground
since Monday. Henry F. Walton Of
Philadelphia, speaker of the House of
Representatives, was permanent chair
man of the convention and Congress
man Henry b. Bingham of Philadel-
phia, was chairman of the resolutions
committee.
The plank in the platform endorsing
President Roosevelt for a second term
is as follows:
I'VE commend and approve the ad-
ministration of President Roosevelt
who with great ability, fidelity and
vigOr has enforced the policies of his
lamented predecessor, William McKin-
ley, and of the Republican party. We
favor his nomination and election to
the Presidency in 1904 and pledge there
unto the united support of the Republic
cans of Pennsylvania"
The platform also contains a plank
favoring home rule for the early ad-
mission to statehood of the territories
of New Mexico, Arizona and Ollaho-
ma"

ILLEGAL LAND FENCING
FEDERAL GRAND JURY TAKING TEs-
TIMONY AGAINST CATTLEMEN.
II Is Claimed that a Leader of the
"keep Fences Standing" Crowd
Has Been Indicted Already.

OMAHA, Dec. 1.-The alleged fencing of
several millions of acres of government land
by extensive cattle owners and ranchmen
of western Nebraska occupied the attention
of the federal grand jury to-day. Several
prominent men, among them state and
United States officials, are said to be among
those whose cases are under investigation.
Although not officially given out, 1t is
stated that one extensive cattle owner, and
a leader in the movement to keep fences
standing. has already been indicted. The
court, however, refuses to make the names
public until arrests have been made.
The cases to be brought to the attention
of the present jury are those where notice
has been served to remove fences, and in
which ii has been found after the expira-
ton of the sixty-day limit allowed by law,
that the fences are still standing. Only
those involving very large tracts of land
are expected to be brought to the attention
of the jury this time.
1t is estimated that the lands said to be
illegally fenced in western Nebraska ap-
proximate 100000 of acres occupied by be-
tween 200 and 500 ranchmen Many of these
men have as high as $4,000 acres and in afew
have obeyed the injunction to remove their
fences, but these amount to less than one
tenth of the entire number.
Charges have recently been made that the
district attorney had refused TO take up the
land fencing cases, and the inauguration of
siderable excitement in Omaha Official cir

THE BUTTE LUNCHEON PARTY.
A Subject That the Critics Are Now
Anxious to Drop.
New York Commercial Advertiser.


Was there ever ''three black crow
story that surpassed the yarn which has
been occupying so much attention In the
anti-Roosevelt newspapers for the past six
months? 1t started last spring i'm the form
of report that party of seven union
leaders from Butte, Mont, had been invited
by the President to be his guests at Oyster
Bay. When the party failed to turn up at
Oyster Bay 1t was said that the visit had
been postponed, and that IL would be made
after the Presidents return TO Washington,
when they would be the guests of the Presi-
dent in the White House for several days
or a week. When the party was actually
owing to the pressure OF other guests, the
President could not give them rooms in
the White House, but would lodge them In
a hotel and pay all their bills while in
Washington. Then all the ti-Roosevelt-
ians rolled up their eyes and felt badly in
their abdominal cavities.
Well, the party reached Washington yes
terday, seven strong. The leader of them
upset the careful work of six months by
saying to the reporters who thronged about
them.
1.-The President didn't invite us to tour the
come and take lunch with him. and that is
why we came. We are paying our railroad
fare hotel bills and everything else. We
can afford TO do that, for there is not one
OF us who makes less than s. a day. The
minimum wage scale in Butte is $3.50 a
day."
What an offense in the chief magistrate
of the first democracy of the world that he
has invited seven workingmen TO luncheon
That is a campaign issue for use against
