SAYS PACTS BREED CHAOS
Parry Calls Hanna Industrial Enemy
I'm His Defense of Trades
UnlOnism.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 22.,-David NJ.
Parry took occasion tonight to reply to
Senator Hannas criticism Of his New Or
leans speech. He said:
The only reason why the anthracite
miners received a wage donfessedly out of
proportion to what similar labor gets else
where Is because they were able TO compel
its granting by force. They proved their
power by going on strike and preventing
other men from taking their places, despite
the presence of the entire National guard
of Pennsylvania, The country was at their
mercy and finally, as a measure of expe-
diency, 1t became necessary for the gov
ernment to negotiate with them that peace
might be restored. Is this the kind of
business that Mr.. Hanna now encourages? I?
Mr. Hanna praises the joint agreements
between the bituminous miners and opec-
ators. He says peace has been ma ntained
by virtue of these agreements We had an
instance of what the cost of this peace is
by the agreement made this spring at In
dianapolis. Under the threat of a strike
the operators yielded to demand for an
increased scale.
have been increased by the Joint agree
ment method AZ per cent for mine run
coal. The miner says to the operator,
sumer5' and the operator does so rather
than have his mine shut down. Does Mr..
Hanna mean TO approve of a method OF
CARDS the interests Of the consumer?
Walt until the wage workers of the coun-
try get on to this little game, and what a
be reached.
/ oppose any system that seeks to prv
up wages by strikes boycoats, Joint agree
ments or eoerclons. ! declare that the ar
bitrary adjustment of wages IS radically
wrong. declare that II one set OF work
men Is granted such an adjustment re-
quires that all shall be treated alike
II Mr. Hanna is not encouraging chaos
in wage relations, what Is he doing?
Mr.. Hanna corralled the Manufacturers
in the first Mckinley campaign because OF
fear of Bryanism He led them into the
Mckinley camp because or this fear bIt

ference. The rock on which the ministers
split was that of church government.
The policy OF the United church. the

CHICAGO, April 22-(Special Telegram)
Judge Grosscup in the United States cir
cult court this afternoon appointed receiv-
ers for three of Chicago's largest traction
companies. The petition was presented on
behalf Of the Guaranty Trust company OF
New York. representing creditors holding
five notes representing 81, ,154.isS OF unsatis-
fed judgments.
The three companies affected, with their
indebtedness, are:
ID The North Chicago Street Railway
| company. s565, ,O52.
(2) The Union Traction company, s31s, $50.
(S The West Chicago Street Railway
company, $780, .440
The first of these three controls about
twO-thirds Of the entire surface lines of tho
city and has been supposed until recently,
to be among the strongest organizations In
the country. All three are members OF what
is known as the Yerkes group, although the
veteran promoter is understood to have
severed all financial interest in them at the
time he engineered the hotation OF the
overhead roads, his last big deal in Chicago
cars.
But although Mr. Yerkes will lose little
or nothing by the crash, ]. Pierpout Morgan
and thousands OF less wealthy and less well
known shareholders are hit hard and win
lose heavily, Mr.. Morgan, II Is understood,
lacked his usual perspicuity in financial
matters in this connection, having pur-
chased his very large holdings all or prac-
tically all within the past few months.
| The receivers named by the court are:
r. h. Gown of New York, for the trust
company; James H. Eckels OF Chicago, for
the traction companies; Marshall e. samp-
sell, clerk OF the court, special adviser.
The application for the receiyership came
up in connection with suits to recover In
terest due on the notes, when, the COM
panies admitting the default, Judge Gross
cup at once entered judgment.
The plaintiff claimed, and the claim was
admitted by w. w. Gurley on behalf of the
companies, that all were insolyent, that
their rolling stock was heavily n ortgaEed
and that their stocks and ,,ther assets could
not be touched by 3 Judgment creditor.

DELAYED MAGAZINE ARTICLES.
Some Instances similar 10 the Wocd-Runcie-
Baker Casc.

Some Instances similar TO the Wood-Runcie-
Baker Cssc.
The Wood -Runcie- Baker article on Gen.
Brooke's administration in Cuba appeared
within a few months OF the time when II
was written, and was subjected to much
less delay than most magazine articles.
Yet the situation had so changed when 1t
was published that two Of those concerned
in the publication would have been glad
had II been entirely suppressed.
Similar changes in conditions have hap
pened in great many instances between
the writing and the publication OF magazine
articles. but few have caused so much
embarrassment. A conspicuous editor and
publisher Of New York wrote for H religious
periodical of this city an article on phase
of the negro quest ion in the South, and
was asst onished seven or eight years later
to see the thing published and widely quoted
as coming from him
Ho had forgot en- that he had ever written
such al article, had materially changed
his opinion on the question discussed and
had grown so much in importance that
whatever he said In print was much more
significant than it would have been at the
time his art cle was written. He was able

did not take the trouble to enlighten the
general public.
The late H. H. Boyesen once complained
that one of the best known literary month
lies had held an article OF his for more than
six years. and that at a time when his repu-
taton was growing. His experience was
like that Of scores Of other men more or
less we'll known in letters.
Even specially ordered and advertised
articles are often held for many months
by the mage zines and not published within
the year for which they are announced.
Some such articles are paid for before
publicat ion. but in many instances the
writer's have to whistle for their money.
One widely circulated periodical is said
to ret urn unpublished large percentage
of articles accept ed and paid for. Only
the other day this periodical returned to
an author an art icle that it paid for six or
eight years ago.
other magazines which pay for articles
on acceptance sacrifice good deal OF
matter through the fact OF it's becoming
uncurrent by reason Of long delay in publ
cation. The annual loss OF matter In this
way is considerable in the ofioe Of nearly
very successful magazine.
