The Comptroller Of the Treasury has
decided that William Michael Byrhe,
folmer United States District Attorne!
for Delaware, is not entitled to any sal
ary from the time he received his re-
cess appointment on March goth, to the
time he resigned and turned the office
over 10 his successor on October 6.
The reason is that the vacancy to
which he was appointed existed dur
ing the extra session of the Senate last
March, and as it was not then filed
he was not entitled to pay during the
ad interim appointment.

J.F. Byrne's Address.
j. F. Byrne of this city, general or
ganizer for the American Federation of
Labor, delivered an ADDRESS upon the
subject "Unionism. Mr.. Byrne is one
of the most prominent men of the state
in labor circles and his remarks were
we'll received. He spoke in part as
follows:
Ladies and gentlemen AS l look
in your faces today, my mind runs
back to the time in the history OF the
worlds events when to congregate for
mutual interests as we have on this
day, would be punishable by impris-
onment to be marked as traitor, to
your country or punished with death
for advocating the cause of humanity.
Christianity and Unionism.
''The many trials, tribulations and
punishments for advocating the cause
of the common people began in the
worlds history with the crucifiXion of
Jesus of Nazareth, and with his muir
der, which was in the interests of the
immensely wealthy and the unscrupu-
lous demons in the form of human be-
ings that lived in his time, began
unionism. and in rehonstrance against
such unwarranted murder of as pure
and noble character, one that had
sacrificed all personal interests to
save all of humanity, sprang Chris
tianity, under whose protective ban
ner countless millions have lived and
died. With the inheritant right of
personal independence, of unionism,
other countless millions of humanity
in this broad world are living, shield
ed and protected in the virtue of their
manhood and womanhood under the
guiding star of Christianity, only to be
taken from the active work in the in
terests of that organization uplifting
human beings when death summons
them from our midst. Christianity
was the beginning of unionism and
will intimately end in all who are
union men and women being Chris
tians and all that are Christians be-
ing members of the union.
Unionism Today.
Cup to date unionism in its true def
milton and as applied by its noble
leaders Of today is seeking to do only
what every human being that believes
in making the world better would do
of themselves, namely to destroy sla-
very in all its forms, to better the con-
ditions surrounding the homes, to edu-
lAatA The children. to increase the pay

the workers fail to understand the con-
ditions which compel an employer to
refuse concessions which he might be
glad to grant we're it not for unfair
competition.
1T is time for getting together
and calmly and dispassionately dis
cussing these questions. At a time
like this it is well to bear in mind the
fact that this is a progressive age
and that because certain conditions
have existed for some time is no rea-
son they should always remain the
same, or that some other way would
not be better
Results of Organization.
II want to call your attention to a
few of the good results of trade Or
ganization. Less than one hundred
years ago it was a crime to organize
to strike or demand higher wages.
I'm 1850 the average wages in
manufacturing establishments of
this country were $246 per
year. Even as recently as
1880 the average wage was less
than $500 per year. In the face of an
immense influx of cheap labor from
foreign countries wages will, today,
average at least $3.50 per year.
Increase inn Wages.
Fifty years ago the cotton mills of
New England worked their employees
thirteen to fourteen hours day. The
highest wages for a first class weaver
were S. or Sc per week. The trades
union movement reduced the hours to
nine and ten and wages have increas-
ed rs to 100 per cent, and what is true
in this trade is true in every other to
greater or less degree. Not only
this but many organizations have sick
and death benefits as well as many
other features for the good of it's mem
bers.
Unions Make Better World.
"The union meetings are a school
for the nottingham, who in many
cases. have been deprived of an edu,
cation, and our union meetings are
conducted as business-like and with
as much decorum in most cases as
any meeting of legislative bodies of
our state or nation.
"The union movement knows no
race, creed or color, it's motto is each
for all and all for each
1t makes this better world to live
in and has more of real humanity than
any other movement. 1t has done all

your visit will be one of pleasure to
yourselves as well as benefit to your

to be with you. l am thankful we
have this beautiful park in which to

program; and on behalf of the citizens
of Ottumwa, l bid you a hearty well

c. A. Hagberg Responds.
G. A. Hagberg, late president of the
Trades and Labor assembly responded
to the address of welcome. Mr. Hag-
berg is pleasing talker and his
words made a good impression. Mr..
Hagberg's address follows:
Mr.. Mayor.-In behalf of the OF
tumwa Trades and Labor assembly,
and the unions affiliated with the
same; in behalf of the hundreds of
union men of the city and in behalf Of
all the toilers of the city, union or
non-union, | wish to express our deep
appreciation for the hearty welcome
you have just extended to this large
gathering on this, our holiday.
we are proud of orr city. Proud
of our movement and its growth here,
and proud of having a mayor who is
friendly to and in sympathy with the
toiler.
The Labor Problems.
81 heartily agree with the honorable
chief executive of our great state when
in his labor day proclamation he says
this day was intended for employer
and employe to meet together and
discuss the great questions confront
ing them in what is generally known
as the labor problem
1T is indeed problem worthy of
the best thought of our citizens for
upon its proper solution depends the
future OF our country.
The Citizens Duty.
This is an era of advancement and
it will not do to stand inactive and
await results. 1t is every citizens
duty to help solve the problem and to
solve it right; for until it is solved
right and fairly to all it will never be
settled. That it will ever be complete
ly solved and relegated to the back
ground ] do not believe or expect as
constantly changing conditions will
bring about new phases for discussion
and solution.
Condition of ToiIers.

life so few people take the time to

lem. Is it then too much to try and

true meaning of liberty, but forsooth,
unionism has come to stay and in a
day not far remote through it's agen-
cies will wipe out, race, religions and
political prejudice and through it's
good offices will bring about much
happier condition of the human family
when there will be more joy and less
sorrow in the world, when true men
will be known by their worth, not their
wealth, when children of tender age
will not spend their childhood in the
factory and when most of the wrongs
of ages against humanity will be blot
ted from future history and mankind
will look back and wonder why so
much good was not accomplished a
long while ago. Then will the world
acknowledge the true worth of what
is now termed unionism"

"This was one of the great reasons

tics show that over fifty thousand
children between the ages of six and
twelve are at present employed work

movement is by degrees making it's

CANAL FATE is IN DOUBT.
Situation Between U. S. and Colombia
Said to be Strained,


Washington, D. G., Sept 5.-The sit

tons between the United States and
Colombia have reached an acute stage,
according to the information given Out
and the outcome of the affair is be-
lieved to be in doubt.
IF Colombia neglects to ratify the
treaty unamended, the United States
will be forced to take measures that
will be source of regret to all friends
of Colombia
This is the final wording of a long
cablegram of instructions to Minister
Beaupre at Bogota, sent in the latter
part Of July and just announced. The
sting in the final words rankles deep
in the breast of Colombia and has led
to such friction that the ratification Of
the treaty is now conceded to be
practically impossible, even should
there be an extension Of time.

Lessen Hours of Labor.
II am pleased to state that during
my term of office as mayor of this city
we have made eight hours constitute

but when that privilege was granted
We expected and it was understood
that the city should receive eight
hours Of good, active work. However

duty when the head of the department
happens to be absent.
Must Give Value Received.
These remarks | have made, may
not be exactly on the line of an ad-
dress Of welcome, but they are simply
thoughts which came to my mind and
which may be good points for you to
consider. For | frankly say that if
your hours are cut down from 10 to 8
hours you can receive the same pay
and do not give value received, or
make an effort to. that employers are
going to be slow in establishing gen
orally the eight hour labor system.
