PURPOSE OF FEDERATION
HANNA SAYS 1T Is TO BRING LABOR
AND CAPITAL TOGETHER.
Not a Board of ArbitratiOn-Has Set
land to Discuss Labor Problem.

CLEVELAND. Aug. 4.-Senator Hanna, in
an address devoted to an explanation of the
purpose of the Civic Federation of which
he is chairman, delivered before the men,
bers of the Cleveland Builders Exchange,
said in part: "Since the organization of
the Civic Federation the working people
have been prosperous as never before, and
so has the employer The wage earners,
however, thought to themselves are We
getting our share of this prosperity
must admit that in many cases they were
not. We aim to remedy that condition.
Where there Is a difference of opinion be-
tween labor and capital we try to bring
them together. The Federation does not act
as a board of arbitration. We only want
to make it possible to get the employer and
the employed together to adjust their
troubles. A failure on the part of the Fed
Grafton to bring them together has been
very rare, indeed. We have been in
strumental In settling nearly one hundred
strikes in two years. The only failure Of
any Importance was in the great anthracite
strike. / made a proposition to the mine
owners to settle the strike on a basis of
per cent. advance to theeminers, and they
refused. The arbitration board appointed
by the President gave the miners twice as
much. If cur offer had been accepted it
would have saved this country $500, coo 90.
Referring to the statement that had been
made that his connection with the Civic
Federation was for political purposes, Sena-
tor Hanna said: Some Qhay say that my
connection with this organization is for
political purposes, but / can't help their
saying IT, / know what | am doing IL for.

country at heart should aid in any move
ment which has for its purposes the better

1t has already become an accepted tradi-

of the reforms which Superintendent Whit
taker contemplates making at the Reform
atory will be highly acceptable to ma
jority of the keepers, and especially to
those who have families Under the old
rule the salaries of the keepers averaged
about $35 per month and board. Many of
the men are married and of course did not
take advantage of the free board at the
institution. They, however. received no
extra pay for this. Mr.. Whitaker proposes
to do away with the guards dining hall
and the employees will have to live on the
outside. Their salaries will be increased
accordingly.
The board of managers of the Reform
atory left for their homes this afternoon

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Aug. AIN dis
cussing the changes at the Reformatory
and the report of w. H. Whitaker, former
Superintendent A. T. Hert said: THE hos
pitality which offered Mr.. Whitaker upon
his first visit to the institution and which
he says in his report that he refused to ac-
cept because he would have compromised
the State of Indiana, consisted in the mere
mentioning to Mr.. Whitaker that his goods
could be transported at half rates over the
Pennsylvania railroad. Mr.. Hert said he
mentioned this fact because he had been
an agent for the road in the past and only
wished to do the new superintendent a lit
tie favor. But" he concludes, this is
certainly not as serious a thing as riding
on the borrowed pass of State official"
Continuing, Mr.. Hert said: Governor
Durbin may think he is vindcating himself
for making the Reformatory a political pie
by bringing up a few old charges that were
made long ago and disproved at the time,
but he will have hard time convincing the
rest of the State that he has washed him
self
Whitaker proposes to relet the prison labor
contracts, as he says the law prohibits the
making of any new contracts, and the pres
ent contracts do not expire until 1906. The
law prohibiting prison contracts was
amended so as to permit new contract at
the northern prison, but not at the Re-
formafory.
