The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1903-06-20

A plan is on foot now, we are in
formed, by the National Association
OF Manufacturers to organize an In
surance company with a capital OF
one hundred millions OF dollars The
object is to insure manufacturers
from injury by strikes and non-union
workmen from physical injury and
financial loss from members OF
unions. 1t is said the membership il
TO be secret, so that strikers and
union men will not know who is and
who is not insured. 1t is believed
that such an association will dogood,
and, in addition to making good the
losses sustained by strikers and the
personal and financial injury by
union men, it will have a tendency to
prevent strikes and cause unions to
be less exacting in their demands,
and more tolerant OF nOn-union men
II so. this will be point gained.

Richmond, Va, June 18th, 1903.
The attempt to run cars YESTERDAY
with men brought here to take the placer
OF the striking motOrmen and conductor
was practically failure. The yielding
of the imported men to the plesdings o
the strikers and the lack of sufficient pc
lice in the outlying districts to suppress
the demonstrations made against thu
sti ike breakers by men, women and chill
dren who sympathized with the old EN-
ployes were responsible for The failure tt
operate the cars.
Only five cars were taken out, and thes
made but few trips to the heart OF thu
city. These short trips, though on thu
main line where the police protection wa
the best that could be expected, were
made under such difficulty and attended
with such unfrieldly demonstration
that the management took the last cal
off in the early afternoon and made nc
further effort TO operate.
Jeers. boots, decayed vegetables, st All
eggs. refuse and filth greeted the m"r
who ran the cars today. Abuse Was also
heaped upon them. Men, women and
children ia the section where many oftht
operatives live took part in throwing
vegetables and other articles at the cars
There came near being one or two small
riots, but the police by prompt action
prevented them.
More thas 60 motormen and corduc
tors from the North, chiefly from Phila
delphia, arrived here yesterday morning.
but the strike emissaries were soon
among them and very few OF the men
went TO work. The "strikebreakers
claim to have been deceived in coming
here, though the company meets this
with signed contracts, showing the adj
mission that q strike existed here.
The strikers sent ~ OF the breakers
back to Philadelphia last night and not
more than six are at the company barns
ready for work this morning. Both the
city and county will put on a large num-
Der Of extra police and the company ex-
poets to he able to operate small num-
Der OF cars. Twenty-Five extra policemen
were sworn in last night.
1t is feared there will be trouble to-

finer anywhere for fruit raising, and
other big orchards will in time be
planted.

Their Convention Fraught with Inn
pOrtant Business.
Indianapolis, Jan. 27.-The Mine
Workers completed their business and
adjourned this afternoon. The con-
vention has been the most expeditions
and harmonious ever held. Many i'm
portant measures have been considered
and acted upon. Among them are the
formulation of the demand for an in
crease of wages of 1919 cents fiat per
ton, on a run of mine basis and a fiat
differential of cents per ton be-
tween pick and machine-mined coal;
a demand for an increase of wages of
inside and outside laborers, in proper
ton to the increase of the miners; the
refusal to commit the convention to
socialism and government ownership
and raising of officers salaries; the dec
laration against children working in
mines: the demand for an anti-injunc-
ton law and the plans for defense
fund.
A conference will be held with the
operators Friday. Many members of
the convention believe that the con-
ference will be short. The operators
have signified their willingness to
grant an increase of wages in many
Instances, but have never given any
intimation as to the amount they
would be willing to give.

MAC0N'S COUNCIL
ENDORSES SPEER.
Macon Anxious That n Macon Man
Succeed Him.

Macon. Jan. 27,-The City Council
passed resolution tonight, indorsing
in words OF eloquent praise the ap-
pointment of Judge Emory Speer as
the successor to Judge Mccormick of
the Circuit Court bench. A copy OF the
resolutions will be sent to President
Roosevelt.
Reference was made to the eminent
reputation of Judge Speer as an ora
| tor and to the fairness that has mark
ed the administration of justice In his
court. causing II to be said by one of
Georgia's foremost sons that mo In
nocent man was ever punished, no
matter how humble, and no guilty man
was ever allowed to go unwhipped OF
justice, however prominent"
Tomorrow at II o'clock there will
be meeting of the Macon bar for the
purpose of nominating a Democratic
candidate to succeed Judge Speer In
case he is appointed the successor of
Mccormick. Up to date no name ex-
cept that of Judge A l.. Miller has
been mentioned for the place. 1t is
claimed that much depends on whether
a Macon man receives the appoint
ment, for the reason that the head
quarters of the federal court may be
removed to Savannah, and that in this
case the new government building,
which Macon is trying to secure,
mainly on the ground of more ample
accommodations of the federal court.
would probably be lost

EMBALMS THE FOOD.
A California Physicians Idea About
Coffee.

A well-known California physician,
John NJ Read, of Redding, CAL. main
tains that coffee, when taken with the
meals, has a tendency to "embalm" or
preserve" the food so that it will not
digest. With this knowledge he has
made many complete cures of indiges-
ton, stomach troubles and nervous dis
eases by taking away the coffee and
giving his patients Postum Cereal Cof-
fee, which helps digestion.
DR.. Reads theory is spoken of in a
letter from "a gentleman of Oak P. o.,
Cal, who says: Twelve years of indi-
gestion had made me so nervous and
thin that 1 could scarcely work. l had
noticed che newspaper articles about
Postum Coffee but didn't think seri-
ously of the matter. Finally, however,
they impressed me and L went to my
family physician, DR.. John M. Read, OF

He Immediately recommended 1t,
having used 1t in his own and other
cases for exactly the same purpose. DR..
Read is well-known throughout North

the following statement: Coffee acts

alcohol taken after meals; it preserves
the food so it cannot be digested.

ions to the Treaty.


ions TO the Treaty.
Havana, Jan. 27.-Senor Capote. the
leader of the Republican Conserva-
tives, president of the Senate and a
member of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, replying this evening to the
question put by the Associated Press
correspondent, why the committee had
not yet reported the reciprocity bill,
said that the Foreign Relations Com
mittee had intended reporting earlier,
but that its ardor had been cooled
somewhat on reports from Washing
ton, regarding the opposition to the
bill and the various amendments pend
ing there. Senior Capote said:
I'VE regard the United States as the
party of the second part. The Cuban
senators have not been inclined to APP
prove what may be disapproved in
various particulars at Washington. /
can assure you emphatlcally that the
report of our committee will be favor
able, and that ratification by the Sen
ate is certain. The committee will
meet tomorrow and their report will
be shortly forthcoming"
A joint meeting of the Senate and
House committees, held to-day, dis
cussed the proposed loan to pay the
soldiers, and an agreement was reach
ed on all points, with the exception OF
the articles to be taxed. There is q
general Discrimination to tax sugar and
tobacco, and a tax on spirits, matches
etc, is preferred.
The reluctance displayed by the gov
eminent to cede Cienfuegos for a
United States naval station, because OF
the commercial Importance of that
port, is apparently the principal OBJ
stacle to the conclusion of the treaty
regarding coaling stations.

anda of the Kicks boarding house and
stole large quantity of provisions,
table linens, crockery, etc. There were
thirty-two sheets stolen, several coun-
terpanes, a large quantity of groceries
and all of the meats which had been
bought for Sunday. The thief was
traced about two blocks by the rice
which spilled from box on to the
ground, but the chickens ate up most
of the rice after that, and no further
trail could be gotten. The burglars got
about $50 in their haul, all of the
things being stolen from the sideboard
and from a large linen chest, which
were kept on the rear veranda.

M'CLU RE SPEAKS
FOR LEE M0NU MENT.
wants Virginia and Pennsylvania to
Meet at Gettysburg.

Harrisburg. Pa. Jan. 27.-In the
presence of the full membership of the
House of Representatives and a crowd
ed gallery, Col. A. X. Mcclure of
Philadelphia tonight delivered an ad-
dress in support of the proposition
that the states of Pennsylvania and
Virginia should Join hands in erecting
an equestrian statue of Gen. Robert Il.
Lee. on Seminary Hill, on the battle
field of Gettysburg. A bill apprepriat-
ing 100000, contingent on the condi-
ton that Virginia appropriates a like
amount, has been introduced in the
Legislature and Is now In the Commit
tee on Appropriations.
To-nlghts meeting was in the form
of n hearing on the bill. with Col. Nc
Clure and Judge John Stewart OF
Franklin county as the principal
speakers. Judge Stewart spoke
against the bill.
the speakers were many prominent
members Of the G. A. r. from all over
the state. judges and state officials.
Col. Mcclure in his address said he
did not plead the cause of the Con-
federacy, but, on the other hand, he
pleaded the cause of the Union-the
common Union. He wanted to make
the battlefield of Gettysburg worthy of
the nation. 1t should in itself tell
its own story. He pictured the mon
uments and tablets on Cemetery Hill
which tell in every detail the story
of the Union side of that great battle.
Across the fields, on Seminary Ridge,
he said, the story Of the other side
should be told in monument and tab
let. They should not be placed there
as a tribute to the rebellion. but as a
tribute to the Blue and Gray.
Col. Mcclure paid great tribute to
the soldiers of the North and the
South. Speaking Of the opposition to
the monument, he called attention to
the high places now occupied by Con-
federate generals.
There Is no honor short of the
presidency" he said, that has not
been given to Confederates with the
consent of all parties"
