LABOR UNIONS NOT
OPPOSED TO MILITARY.
Official Statement on Question Made
lily President Gompers.

OhiciOl Statement on Question Made
lily President Gompers.
Under the title of Unions and the
Guard" the National Guardsman of
Chicago prints an article showing the
official attitude of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor towards the National
Guard. Because of the antagonistic
position that some of the lesser lead
er's of labor unions have taken toward
the militia, which was based, it is
claimed, on the ground that the oath
of the unions took precedence over
that of the military, gentleman prom
inently connected with the local mill
tia believes that the views of the
recognized leader of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor on this question
should be given as wide a publicity as
POSSIBLE.
The article states: president Com
pers of the American Federation of La
Dor has considered the relations of
union members of the state militia
from several viewpoints and has reach
ed the eminently sensible conclusion
that members of organized labor have
an undoubted right to join militia or

unionists. President Gompers made
the ruling in a recent official statement
in the Federationist in reply to a num-
Der of questions made to him on the
subject. He said: "A member of the
state militia can be seated in trades
council. In fact the matter is so
obvious that it ought not to be open
for discussion at all. A man who is a
wage-earner and honorably working at
&c do nI
and those dependent upon him has not
only the right to become a citizen SOL
der but that right must be unques
toned. The militia, that is the citizen
soldiery of the several states in our
country, supplies what otherwise might
take its place-a large standing army.
The difference between the citizen SOL
diery of the United States and the
large standing armies of European
countries is the difference between a
republic and monarchy-it is the diff
ference between the conceptions of
liberty and tyranny. While organized
labor stands against the arbltrament of
international or internal disputes by
force of arms. yet we must realize we
have not yet reached the millennium:
that in the age in which we live we
have not the choice between armed
force and absolute disarmament. but
the alternative of a large standing
| army and a small one supplemented by
volunteer citizen soldiery-the mi
| lltia of several states.
with this both wisdom and policy
as we'll as principle, should warrant our
trade unions in not taking any sal
Zance of the matter at all, allowing
each member to follow the bent of his
own inclinations, insisting only that he
shall be a wage-earner, a faithful
member of his union and true to the
cause of labor-the cause of hu-

a farewell interview with H. o. Ar

WEEK IN THE SENATE.
The Cuban Treaty Bill VIII BE Pass
ed on Wednesday.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The Senate
on Wednesday, in accordance with the
unanimous agreement entered into dur
ing the special session, and until the
vote is taken practically the entire
time of the Senate will be given to
the discussion of the bill.
Senator Bailey will be the first speak
er of the week, and 1t is understood
will consume the greater part of the
day. He will oppose the bill and will
devote himself particularly to a pres
entation of the constitutional aspects
of the question. He will be followed
by Senator Spooner, who also will dis
cuss the constitutional questions in
volVed, but from a standpoint favor
able to the bill.
In addition to these there will be
a number of short speeches for and
against the measure. There Is no
doubt that the bill will pass without
amendment.
No programme has been arranged
for the remainder of the week after
the disposal of the Cuban hill, but
it is understood that the way will be
prepared for taking up the Panama
and Chinese treaties Immediately after
the Christmas holidays. 1t is prob
able there will be further discussion
of the various resolutions bearing up
on current questions, and an effort
will be made to secure the passage
OF the Penrose resolution, looking to
an investigation of the Postofice De-
partment affairs. The Democrats will
continue their efforts to have it

1t is expected that Senator Hoar
will seek to secure consideration of
his resolution relative to the recog-
milton of the government of Panama
by the Unit ID States. Senator Mitchell
has given notice of a speech for Thurs
day in the interest OF the proposed
exposition at Portland, Ore.
Senators, generally, hope to secure
an adjournment for the Christmas hol-
1days Friday or Saturday.
Pension Bill in the House.
When the House convenes to-mor-
row consideration Of the pension APP
preparation bill will be resumed.
During the week a number of the
more important committees will take
up pending bills for consideration, but
beyond the passage of the pension APP
preparation bill, it is not believed that

of the House in the way of general
legislation before the Christmas holi-
day recess, which probably will be
taken at the end of the week
1t is probable that some minor mat
tiers will be disposed of under unani-
nous consent after the pension bill
is out of the way, and opportunity will
be given during the week for further
debate on such topics as members may
desire to bring to the attention of the
House.

the Saxton Furnace Company. The

and coal mines in Bedford and Hunt

Mills at Coatesville. comprising 500
acres, at an original cost of $1,000,G00.
The receivers take charge at once

at least. The depression in the iron
market, the high cost of materials and
some improbable investments caused
the embarrassment. but it is thought
that all creditors will be paid in cash.

attitude it has toward Panama and
refusing to allow Colombia to attempt

Colombia's next move will be to sug-
gest, through Mr.. MacVeagh, to the
State Department that the question
as to whether or not there has been
a violation of the treaty rights be sub
mitted to The Hauge for decision. The
question of the financial loss to Co
lombia incident to the loss of the 18th

dwelt on in this connection with the
idea of arousing the moral support of

night, charged with robbery and kid
mapping. They passed through Mo-

took the boy with them.
The boy escaped Saturday afternoon
and reported the crime. The father
of the boy was searching the country
for him.
The sheriff captured the men in the
woods where they had camped for
the night. They at first denied that
they had been at Moline, but later con-
ressed to having robbed the store, but
said that the boy left with them vol
thtarily. He denies this, however,
ana says they threatened to kill him
whenever he tried to get away.
