SAYS STRIKE RIOTS ARE INFREoUENT
Only One Per Cent of Strikes Is Accom-
pIished by Violence.

with Henry ID. Lloyd l believe the
safety of this republic depends on or
ganized labor more than upon any 9th
or institution. But. after ALL are there
many riots during strikes? Out of the
25,000 strikes involving 100000 per-
cent. were accompanied by riots. Will
the same percentage hold regarding
political conventions? The people max
ing charges against unioniSm are not
many but they are active. The leader
of an association OF employers does
not truly represent the employers OF
the country. But the employers of the
Pinkcrtons, who incite to violence. are
the chief dCnounccrS of unions. Who
hired the coal and iron police during
the anthracite strike? The few men
who were guilty of more degradatiOns
than the 100000 striking workers.
"Who whitecapped the Colorado
miners? Who instigated the DaHville
and Evansville riots? Who are lynch
ing in southern and in northern states?
Usually those opposed to unionism.
The organization of labor. meaning
ulS MdStS anu btllCi
easily accounts for the anita tagonism of
employers. Simple ignorance of the
conditions of thousands of working
men and their families accounts for
much unjust opposition to organized
labor.
"The attempts to make capital out
of the charges against strike leaders
are nullified by the orders issued by
John Mitchell and similar orders is
sued many times by strike leaders.
All differences between railroad COM
panies and railroad organizations are
settled by conciliatiOn or arbitration.
Many strikes are caused now by the
autocratic. arrogant employer who
does not believe workingmen have any
rights to be respected. Mobs and riots
usually occur where employers are OF
that caliber.
'If the charges that New York Ia
Dor leaders are bribe-takers are proved
they should receive punishment to fit
the crime. While we punish bribe-tak
ers let us not forget the bribe-giver.
Let society mete out punishment to
both the equally guilty parties. 1t
IS unfair to charge unions with guilt
and wrong doing OF a few men. The
church, the professions. the colleges
all are misrepresented by the actions
of individuals"

NOTHING BELIEVED OF

As to America Arbitrating Russo
Chinese MaDchurian
Difficulties.

Peking, Aug. 1.-The report that
Russia and China will ask the Ameri-
can government to arbitrate all ques-
tions arising over the Russian occu-
patton of Manchuria is absolutely dis
credited here. 1t is believed both these
powers have already arrived at mu-
tueI understanding on the subject.

maiCa.
LAND LAID WASTE
People are Destitute
and Help Is
Needed.

Kingston. Jamaica. Aug. 15.-There
are hCart-re" ding scenes all over the
eastern and northern portions of the
island of jamaica. At Port Antonio
thousands of homeless and starving
people have sought shelter in the old
prison and the few other buildings
which survived the hurricane. Those
are covering In the lee of ruined walls
and dismuntlcd piazzas. The railroad
sheds and waiting rooms are filled
with women and children. The mer-
chants of the place are feeding the
hungry to the best OF their ability,
but the majority are depending upon
unripe bananas knocked down by the
storm. The bananas are boiled in
kcroSenetins over open fires made from
the debris of destroyed buildings. This
is their sole food supply and it will
be exhausted I'm nine or ten days.
Storm Swept Everything Clean.
Similar conditions prevail at An
notata Bay, Buff Bay. Orange Bay.
Port Maria. Manchioneal. Morant Bay,
Rowdcn and other smaller sea ports.
In the interior the distress is equally
acute. Scarcely n peasants home IS
standing. Even the dwellings of the
planters, which are built of substantial
stone. have been unroofed, with few
exceptions.
Misery Is IndescrIbRbIe.
The misery of the peasants families
IS indescribtble. Their homes and be-
longings have been literally blown
away. and they are cOntriving rude
shelters from fallen trees. palm boughs
and banana leaves. Owing to the con-
tinued unsettled weather, with occa-
sional torrential rains, these shelters
afford practically no protection. Eff
forts are being made at Kingston to
relieve the immediate wants of some
localities by subscriptions of food and
clothing. but the local efforts. at best,
are totally inadequate. Unless imme-
diate shipments of food stuffS come
from the United States deaths by star
vatiOn are inevitable.
Hospitals Crowded with Injured.
The local hospitals in the wind-Swept
districts are crowded with the injured
and the death list is increasing. Some
localities have not yet reported. One
man was beheaded at Port Antonio by
a flying sheet OF galvanized roofing.
Many We're seriously wounded by fall
ing houses, trees and walls. Several
houses located on the banks of the
streams were carried away by the
foods. The fate of their inmatse is un-
known. but it is feared that there have
been deaths from this cause.
Groves of PimenAs ObIiterased.
The bulk of the Blue mountain cof-
fee has been ruined and the pimento
groves. which stood for centuries, have
been obliterated. 1t is now estimated
that the loss on the island will reach
$15, 100000.

of Jeffries' close arm blows. Jeffries
had a similar mark Jeffries hooked
a left to body and the referee had
trouble separating them. At the close
Corbett stabbed Jeffries' mouth with
his left three times, but they were
weak efforts.
The Final Round.
Tenth-Jeffries came after his man
without hesitation. Corbett seemed
to be making waiting fight. They
exchanged lefts to face and Jeffries
made a vicious effort. Jeffries sent
left hook to the stomach and Corbett
went down for nine seconds. He got
up and received a left on the stomach,
right on the jaw. He went down
and after the count of seven Tommy
Ryan threw up the sponge. He was
suffering pain and a chair was
brought for him. After minutes
rest he recovered and got up and
shook hands with Jeffries.
Each Mans Share.
According to the official count 10,-
600 people viewed the CorDett-J fries
contest The gross receipts amounted
to 2,34O. Jeffres receiving $33, ,725
and Corbett $1O,910.

Business Mems Club, soliciting funds to
fit up the new rooms over H. |. Maxwell's s
in style beftting Rocky Ford's present
Importance and future bright prospects.

designated reception room or library, bill
lard room and card room. The furniture
will be both substantial and handsome.
The library will be literally supplied with
magazines and papers. The smaller
rooms will have wash and bath room,
closet and other modern conveniences.
The rooms will be equipped in such a
manner as to make them resort to
which visitors can be taken with pleasure
and pride and also be valuable auxiliary
in the business life of the best town in
Southern Colorado.

In speaking Of the desirabili,y Of Pueblo
citizens attending the various fairs in the
valley. the Pueblo chieftain says: "Pu-
eblo has always been represented in large
numbers at every attraction Of every
kind that has taken place in the other
cities and towns OF tho state. Crowds OF
people have gone always. in an informal
way. and havo Indicated the kindly feel
ing in this city toward every other COM
munity in the state. They will continue
to do this but what is needed is a formal
visit OF accredited representatives whose
presence will be, as il were. official ex-
preston Of the sentiments that prevail
here. Pueblo is especially interested in
the development OF the Arkansas valley,
and that without any other feeling than
Of replacement when progress is made in
any other quarter. 1t is especially i'm
portant that the ties that bind Pueblo and
her neighbors in reciprocal relation Of
good feeling and unity should be made
constantly stronger"

The troubles of the city water works
seem to be over. The vexatious condi-
tons Of the past few weeks were due to
the delay of the manufacturers of pipe
in shipping as promised. and to the un-
reasonable slowness Of the railways in
getting the pipe to Rocky Ford. The
officials did their best to expedite the
business but only received the IS feet Of
8 inch pipe. yesterday. The connections
have now been made between the new
well and the big pump and there will
probably be no more cause for complaint.
