Bitter Attack on Labor Unions.
(By the Associated Press. J

Detroit. Mich, June 1.-The Millers' No
tional Federation today adopted resolu
tons demanding the speedy adoption by
the National Government of a broad, lib
eral and comprehensive policy OF genuine
reciprocity
The fullest possible measure OF recip-
rocity between the United States and
Canada was especially favored and a me-
moral was adopted on the subject which
will be forwarded to President Roosevelt.
Resolutions also were adopted on the la
Dor question. recognizing the right of all
men to organize, but denying the right OF
any labor organization to demand that
individuals be compelled to unite with it,
or to demand that only union men shall
receive employment. One of the features
of the afternoon session was the bitter
attack made on labor unions by S. I.
Ballard, of Louisville, KY, while the la
Dor resolutions were under consideration.
Mr.. Ballard said:
ct would be well to form an associa
tion of employers in every town in the
country We must do something to pre-.
serve for ourselves and our children the
principles of freedom and independence,
which our forefathers handed down to Us
in their declaration of independence.
That every man shall have the right to
life, liberty and pursuit OF happiness"

TWAS A DEATH BOLT

Seven People We're Killed and Three / inred-.
The Last Ride of Three
Tramps.
lRy lhe Assoeiated Press. J

Topeka, Kan, June A disastrous
collision between Santa Fe passenger
trains at stillwell, near olathe, this az
tcrnoon, killed seven people and injured
three. One train was going west at full
speed and crashed into the Chicago section
of the eastbound. No passengers on the
westbound train were injured or killed.
while on the eastbound train five were
killed and three were injured. Three
tramps who were stealing ride on the
Chicago train are among the killed. The
only member of the train crew to be hurt
was Conductor Frank Johnson. of the Pull
man Company.
The trains were routed on the Missouri
Pacific tracks on account of the floods
which washed out the Santa Fe tracks.
Orders were sent by the dispatcher for
the trains to meet at Stillwell. 1t is
charged at the Santa Fe office here to-
night that the Chicago train crew dis
regarded this injunction and ran a mile
or more past the meeting point. The
westbound train did not stop at Stillwell
but running slowly by the engineer saw
no other train and as he hsa a clear
track, according to his orders, he rushed
ahead.
News of the accident was delayed in
reaching Topeka. Immediately a relief
train was made up and sent to the scene
OF the wreck. DR.. j. p. Raster, chief
surgeon of the Santa Fe, was in charge
and took with him a number of physic-
ans and nurses. They will bring the
injured to the Santa Fe Hospital in this
city tonight.
Both General Manager Nudge and Gen
eral superintendent Hurley, Of the Santa
Fe, are in Kansas City and an official
statement Of the cause Of the wreck could
not be obtained tonight.
The tracks were cleared tonight and
traffic was resumed.
