miller Case.

Pittsburg. Sept 2G.-Simon Burns,
general master workman Of the knights
II Labor, returned from Washington
:oday, where he had been attending a
meeting Of the general executive boar
He reports the adoption by the general
executive board of the following reso-
utiOn:
Whereas, newspaper report is that GER
am labor organizations and leaders are
attempting to have organized labor take
up the fight of the enemies of President
Roosevelt because of his action in the dis
aute existing in the government printing
office in Washington; and believing the
president is the best friend organized la
1or ever had in the White House. an.
me interest of prominent republicans who
:ontrol some few labor leaders. with a de-
s,re to attempt, to defeat the nomination
u Mr.. Roosevelt; therefore be 1t
resolved, by the general executive
ncorporated. That the action taken at
ne interest Of organized labor. but a po-
ttical move that II carried out will dis
Mpt our organizations and injure their
such action a majority of members of all
organizations. without regard to their po-
Me aiss and should . ~sepSdia sssa:: sc SO isss sders
and their action.
That such action as is contemplated
against President Roosevelt Is one Of
many errors and mistakes made by orr
sanized labor. as they seem inclined to
ignore the rights of others to create strike
and make demands that are unreason-
able, relying not on the justice Of their
contention =. claims, but on the loss Of
trouble they can cause others. and to see
what they can secure by depending upon
politicians and not on the Justice Of their
demands.
AS Senator Hanna is said to be a great
friend Of organized labor and IL also con-
sidered a loyal supporter and sincere
friend of Mr.. Roosevelt. we therefore sug-
gest to both sides of the present contro-
versy existing in the printing office that
they. refer the dispute to Senator Hanna

Webb's statement he was induced
about u month ago to go to the place

He was locked in a back room on the

brought with considerable quantities of
whisky. which, he declares, contained
drGgs. The police found Webb lying

theory of suicide IL correct. and thai
Fitzpatrick killed himself to escape his
tormentor.
j. E. Lambie, stepfather Of the dead
man, declared that sensational devel-

He is quoted as saying:
I'VE know the woman to whom the
letter was addressed. She Is a young
married woman, the mere mention of
whose name would cause a sensation
! n New York city. as she IL known as

err check. and sem them to the woman.
I do no know the contents OF the 9TH
