AFRAID OF LABOR DAY SHOWING,
Los Angeles Employers Association
Trying to Make Parade Failure.

Los Angeles Employers Association
Trying to Make Parade Failure.
Los Angeles, CAL, Sept. 10. Especial
Correspondence Council Of La
bor has positive proof that a repre-
sentative Of the Employers Associa-
ton called on a number of employers
who are not members Of the associa-
ton and asked that their employees be
required to work on Labor Day. So
far as can be learned, this proposition
has been turned down by every men,
ber of the association, and as the men,
bers of the association do not employ
union Workmen, the underhand scheme
Of the Otis ring will not accomplish it's
purpose. 1t is obvious that the would
be union -wreckers and labor -haters of
Los Angeles are afraid of the showing
that will be made by the unions on
labor's greatest holiday, as a great pa
rade and demonstration on that day
and there certainly will be such-will

GREAT GAIN HAD
IN MINNEAPOLIS
LABOR COMMISSIONER O'DON-
NELL COMPLETES FACTORY
INSPECTION.
Report Shows Number Of People EN-.
pIoyed at Both Day and
Night Work.

aagsspt. .lofH oDon. 5il
nell, the commissioner of Labor has
had completed the compilations of the
factory inspectors report for the city
of Minneapolis for the year 1903.
The report embraces 1176 establish
ments and 41,216 wage-earners. The
| latter number is composed of 33,483
male-adults, 1896 female-adults, 2S3
boys under 16 years, and 105 girls un-
| der Is years.
The relative standing Of one class Of
! wage to another class is as
! follows:
One adult, female wage Garner was
| employed to 4.52 male-adults, one child
! under 16 years Of age to 122.00 adults;
adults and one girl under 16 years to
| 70.4 female adults. The male adults
| composed 81.24 per cent of all wage
earners, te femals adults represented
| 1874 per cent, the boys under 16 years
of age represented O.56 per cent and
the balance, or 0.26 per cent were girls
| under 16 years of age.
The report furthermore shows that
| 1928 persons worked nights, or in
| other words, between the hours of
o'clock p. m. and o'clock a. m. and
| 1857 persons had to work on Sundays
| in addition to their regular week S
| work. Both numbers are partly made
! up by regular watchmen, firemen, en-
! gineers and janitOrs and custodians of
| buildings, aside from other persons
employed in regular work, or in MAX
! ing repairs in factories to enable the
| weeks operations without Interrupt
| ton.
| Regular night work, or work by day
and nights shifts is carried on in saw
city, in linseed oil mills, in newspaper
printing establishments, in the opera
tion Of the local and interurban street
railway, in railroad round houses, in
the only sugar factory in the state, in
bakeries and in telegraph and tele-
phone offices.
The number of adult mails wage
earners since 1900 was 31.4 per cent
while the number of adult female wage
earners increased AL per cent during
| the same period.
The gradual increase during each OF
the three years was as follows
Male adults increase, 1900-19O1 1911
per cent; 19o1-1902 per cent; 1902-19O3
AZ per cent.
Female adults increase, 19OO-190I
IT'S per cent; 1901-1902, 1906 per cent;
1902-1903, 8.8 per cent.
The remarkable increase in the fe-
male adult wage earners over the male
adult wage earners seem to indicate
| that in many industries and vocations
the male wage Garner has been re-
placed by women and that this process
| slowly but surely is, progressing.
Child labor, during the period from
1902 to 1908 has been reduced 13 pei
cent but on the other hand has child
employment increased since 1900. in
about the same proportions as the in
| dustries have developed.

Built for Less Than $780,
600.

Richard Bennett, a farmer, who is
interested in the fight against the bond
issue for the raising of funds to build

bagamon, states that the contemplated
system Of waterworks will not be suf-
ficient and that 100000 will be required
to build good plant.
He insists that the town, which now
has a heavy load of taxes. cannot af-
ford to add any more to the burden.

the bricklayers continued to work with
nonun1on helpers. Later they insisted
upon union laborers and when these
were not furnished they went on strike.
Efforts to draw the stone masons into
the controversy were. unavailing, and
they continued at work.
The resumption Of work will mean
that several large building enterprises.
which were held in allegiance, will be
carried through this season.

HIS MYSTERIOUS WIFE.
Henry kopp Found Her at Breakfast
Table, but Didn't Recall Being
Married.

New York, May 11.-Henry Kopp's
mysterious Wife has begun suit against
him in the supreme court for a separa-
ton. s1OO a month alimony and $3.50
counsel fees. Mr.. Kopp, who lives at
Huntington, Long Island, says it is not
only a mystery as to how his wife came
to leave him, but also as to how they
came to be man and wife, He do not
deny that the complainant is his wife.
but h says he does not remember
marrying her. When he came down to-
breakfast the morning of November IT,
he says, there sat at the coffee urn a
charming woman who said: Good
morning, husband, dear" 1t was Mrs.
Anna Kopp.
Mr.. Kopp investigated matters after
breakfast, saw a certificate OF his mar
riage, and afterward heard from a
clergyman's lips that he was duly and
legally married to the woman he found
gracefully pouring coffee. Mr.. Kopps
says he was well satisfied, for the
woman was pretty and gracious, and
he found in her presence a boon in the
house where he had lived as a lonely
widower with only his 1~6-year-old son.
Two months ago the idyl ended. Mrs.
Kopp disappeared. Her lawyer, John T.
Mulhall, says his client alleges cruelty
as a cause for the separation, but he
says that q reconciliation would not be

MUST DO BUSINESS.
Take Position That Turkey &c
REQUIRED to Effect Reforms,

Paris, May 13.-There was a stimuli
taneous publication this morning in
Paris, Vienna and st. Petersburg of the
official view of the Bulgarian situation.
1t carries out the idea, previously
eabled to the Associated Press, that the
powers are satisfied With the correct
ness of Bulgaria's course and will not
tolerate the adoption by the sultan of
Turkey Of stern measures against Bull
garia on account of the Salonica OUT
RACES. 1t is pointed out hat the ques-'
lion is not merely one between a suze-
ca1n and a vassal, but is one between.
Turkey and the powers signatory Of the
berl1n convention, mainly France, Aus
ria and Russia, owing to their geo
graphical position. The official COM
n~unlcation sums up as follows:
Two important points mark the
present status of the fmbroglio. The
bulgarian government Is not RESPONSE
ole for. Macedonian violence; second.
neither St. Petersburg, Vienna nor
Paris has any intention to permit Bull
garia to be held responsible"
The communication closes with the
statement that the Porte's first duty is
70 carry out a general plan for Balkan,
reforms, repress Albanian agitators and
punish the murderer Of the Russian
consul, adding:
If Turkey persists in diverting at
:ent1on by menacing Bulgaria, the I'M
oassadors Of the powers may shortly
'emind the porte Of what the power
expect"

Washington, May 12.-An interesting

The minister said he desired several
lays in which to investigate the mat

Movements Of Warships, st. Petersburg
Will Say, Forced Change of Front.
Washington, May 12.-kogoro Takahira,
THE contention that Japan, in mobiliz-
Ing its feet and otherwise showing signs
of military preparation, has violated one
Of the provisions under which Russia
agreed to %evacuate Manchuria, is very
unreasonable. Japan modified it's fleet
for naval maneuvers last March, before
the present controversy came to a crisis.
Never has Japan conducted naval or mil
itary operations with a view of making
toward Russia"
Now, it is said by friends of the Rus
sian government here, that undoubtedly
the attitude Of Japan has supplied the
conditions in Manchuria under which Rus
STA qualified it's agreement regarding
'ithdrawal.
The question that is particularly excit-
ing diplomats here is: will Japan fight?"
There is a feeling here that Russia Is
now ready to defy Japan.
Russia says a year & Japan might
have done something, but not now. Japan
probably will not be willing to go to war
unless it can draw Great Britain In.
China will not fight. Great Britain is not
disposed to join in hostilities. Its trump
card was played in the game the other
day when Lord Lansdowne made the dec
laration of his government with reference
to the Persian gulf. 1t is believed here
hat Great Britain would never have talk
en- that attitude unless it had felt con-
vinced that Russia was going to be kept
busy in the far east. With the hostile at
titude Of Japan, Russia, it is estimated.
must keep one-fourth million troops, one
fourth of its whole army, constantly in
Manchuria and even a larger fleet along
that coast than it now has assembled
there.
The chief concern of this government
is that the situation is once more drift
in against the policy which this govern
ment has pursued in the hope Of keeping
China intact and procuring for all coun-
tries equal rights and privileges there.
But the state department is also annoyed
over the failure of representatives to ne
gotiate the commercial treaty with China
which has been the subject Of conferences
at Shanghai. This treaty is dead.

Horrible Story of Cruelty Is Told by a
Baku Stone Mason.
Baku, Russia, May ia stonema-
son was at work on a wall in the center
Of this town when a carriage swiftly
drove up to him, two masked men
jumped out, threw a bag over his head,
bundled him into the carriage and gall
loped away. After half an hours flu
rious driving the mason was told to
alight, the sack was taken from his
head and he found himself in an old
fashioned courtyard. He was pushed
through a door into a corridor and in
an empty room he noticed an opening
In a stone wall in which was wedged a
woman, trembling and with terrified
face. The men who had brought the
mason pointed revolvers at his breast
and ordered him to wall VI the open
Ing with the woman behind it, threat
ening to shoot him dead If he refusd.
Stone, mortar and trowels. We're in the
room. He Yves told that she was a Ma
hometan who 1ad injured her husbands
The mason built up the opening, the
sack was again drawn over his head,
and three-quarters of an hour later he
was put out of the carriage at q lonely
part of the city.
AS soon as he could free himself of
the sack he did so, but the carriage had
disappeared. He went Immediately to
the police and told his story, but al
though the police are ransacking the
houses In the Maholnetan quarter, they
can find no trace of the locality Of the
horrible crime.

connected with the investigation into.
expenditures of the department, out it
will mark a radical change in the nam
agement OF the legal bureau. Mr.
GhristiancY was the successor of Far
sison j. Barrett, who was for years an
attorney under Assistant Attorney
General Tynor.
Christiancy followed in the groove
Which Barrett had carved. Under Cen
sral Tyner and Barrett, and later under
lChristiancy when General Tyner, by
reason Of his years, was incapacitated
from active management, the work Of
.postottice inspectors in many important
eases was practically nullified. In
hone Of the recent get-rich-quick inves-
legations conducted by the postottlce
department We're the conclusions of the
.%postoffice inspectors accepted until the
actuaries had made their own investi-
cations. Christiancy, in the absence
of Tyner, passed on the reports OF those
actuaries. His close relations with
Harrison j. Barrett, who was employed
because Of his alleged influence in the
legal bureau, has long been a matter
Of notoriety. Had it not been for the
papers in General Tyner's office, the
postmaster general probably would
nave appointed C~hristiancy as the head
Of the legal bureau.
A New Law Probable.
In the radical changes in the reorgan-
cation of the postoflice department and
the Inauguration OF q new system the
Impression prevails that congress will
enact a law which will repeal the pres
snt law making the assistant attorney
general for the postoffice department
an appointae of the postmaster general,
and will place the legal bureau of the
department. under the jurisdiction and
control Of the attorney general. This
will give the appointing power for the
assistant attorney general of the post
office department to the president, and
he nomination will have to be con
irmed by the senate, as is now the case
With the assistants attorneys general
COR all other departments.

AT ANGELES.
Splendid Reception Given in the me.

Splendid Reception Given in the me.
%tropolis Of Southern California;.
Los Angeles, CAL, May 11.-President
Roosevelt made his entry into Los
Angeles this afternoon. The enthusi-,
astic welcome that has greeted him at
each stopping place within the bound
airy of California reached a climax
when the special train drew into the
station. Los Angeles had for many
days been preparing for him and was
dressed in her best.
The presidents train left Riverside
at an early hour and thousands of peo-
pie turned out to bid the president
goodby. A half-hour stop was made at
Claremont. where the president spoke.
to the students of Pomona college.
From Claremont the train ran
through the picturesque San Gabriel
valley to Pasadena, where a stop OF
two hours was made. Pasadena, ia
nous for it's beautiful homes, had been
deliberately decorated. All business
houses and residences on the route
over which the president was driven
displayed American flags and bunting.
AT Wilson high school the president
delivered a short speech. after which
the party took carriages for a drive
through the city. A brief stop was
made at the home of Mrs. Garfield.
widow of the late President Garfield.
with whom the president chatted a few
moments.
At 1890 the party boarded the train
and left for Los Angeles. When the
train pulled into the station at Los
Angeles thousands of people blocked
the streets on every side. Former
members Of the rough riders regiment,
a detachment of Troop D, N. G. c., and
TeddySs Terrors, a political club of
prominent Los Angeles people, We're in.
line to help receive the executive.
The president entered a carriage with
Governor Pardee, Secretary Moody and
Private Secretary Loeb, and preceded
ard followed by a platoon of mounted
police and a company of militia, was.
driven directly to the Westminster ho-
tel, where a luncheon was served. From
the station to the hotel the enthusiasm
was given voice in continuous cheers
Which the president smilingly acknowl-
edged.
Extraordinary police precautions had
been made to guard the president. Sc
cret service men surrounded md made
way for him at the station and at the
hotel. The Los Angeles police force
adopted stringent measures against en-
croachment of the crowd. The hotel
wa surrounded by a Gordon of police
n plain clothes officers. A rope was
drawn around the hotel and no one eS-
cept those holding passes was admit
ted.
The annual Fiesta De Las-Flores, a
feature Of which is an elaborate floral
parade, was arranged this year to Co
fncide with the visit of the president.
The floral parade occurred this after
noon and was reviewed by the presi-5
lei and party.
