sCHWAB BLAMEs LABOR.
Exorbitnnt Demands Arc at Present Re-
tarding Industry.

Philadelphia, Sept. 25.-Exorbitant de-
mands Of labor, in the opinion of
Charles M. schwab, former head of the
Steel trust, are at present retarding in
dustry.
Although this condition is manifest in
many lines, it Is most clearly seen in
the building trade. in the decrease OF
which Mr.. Schwab sees the obvious eff
feet of labor's exactions.
Nevertheless Mr.. Schwab declares
that there Is no reason to expect in
dustrial stagnation. The closing down
Of mill here and there and the un-
certainties that exist in the building
trade, BE says. do not indicate a deep
seated condition that will mean an inl-
portant slackening of the industry Of
the country. l.<"5 s ~
1.-The industrial situation?'' repeated
Mr.. Schwab, as a question was pro-
pounded to him. why, l am an OPP
timist. Wall street does not reflect the
industrial situation. / do not feel COM
petent to pass ON the causes for the
Wall street depression. am in the
steel business But do know that they
cannot and will not directly affect the
industry of the country. 1t is true that
there is a temporary diminution of the
great volume of business that we have
been doing, but that does not mean
stagnation. ,.fs~ .
"Labor's exorbitant demands have
done more than any other one thing to
bring about this setback. This is, es-
pecially true of the building trade. Of
course, too, capital is not so free as it
was.'

an expert to examine the property and
on the strength of his representations,
Sir Christopher invested s3,000,000 in the

suddenly an explosion of dynamite in
the roadway literally tore the rig to-
pieces, killed Ferguson outright and
threw Martin two hundred feet and
tearing his left arm almost from the
socket.
81 1t has been learned that two men sup
posed to be Poles placed the dynamite
in the road for the purpose of killing
5Paynaster Ferguson and had arranged
to explode it by means of an electric
battery. The satchel containing the
money is missing.
Two suspects are under arrest in the
camp of the construction company near
the village, but the farmers Of the sec
zion who are securing the country for
traces of the. murderers believe they
have one Of them at bay in an abandon
ed mine about mile and half north
east of Middletown.
\ So quickly was everything accom-
.plished that the men who are irnplicat-
ed got away with their booty before
/ they could be overtaken, although the
county authorities believe that il the
righ. men are not those under arrest
they will have little difficulty in taking
them.
