REFUSED INTERVIEW
WITH GoMPERs


The American Federation Of Labor
and the international Typographical
Union are giving the notorious scab
Los Angeles Times a fight for it's life.
Nearly every day for thirteen years
that paper has maliciously attacked
organized labor, and has done every
thing in it's power to disturb unionism
on the Pacific. Coast. Shortly before
the last convention of the American
Federation Of Labor, President Com
pers visited LosAngeles and endea-
vored to secure an audience with H.
e. Otis the proprietor Of the Times.
The President of the. American Fed
|eration Of Labor mot only was. refused
an interview, but was subjected to q
vile and, cowardlY attack through the
columns of that infamous paper
= AS a. last resort, organized labor has
decided to- fight the Times to q finish.
For this purpose $25, 900 has been raised.
The be tie IS nov. "a and .is raging
fast and riolls.

BIG MEETING
OF MACHIN|STS
John Gardiner of the Minneapolis ma
chinists union was in Duluth
"Wednesday evening and addressed
a special meeting of tho: Duluth local
:. which was: held III The r. +. A.
j: rooms. T.:

The matter of the machinists appli-
cation to make a struggle for the nine
hour day this spring was discussed at
length. Mr. Gardiner represented the
international union, and was sent here
tor the purpose of ascertaining local
conditions before the Executive board
void grant the locals request. He
gave to the union the following inter-
esting reasons why every machinist
should be a union man:
what excuse has a machinist for re-
naming outside Of the union?
There are, We are sorry to say, thou
sands throughout the country who are
not on the inside.
The machinists are among the most
skilled Of merchanics, if skill counts
for anything in these days Of labor
saving, skill-destroying and independ-
ence-abolishing machinery, industrial
and political.
Yet the wages Of the unorganized ma
chinists are about as low as the poor
est unskilled workers eceive and
their hours of labor as long, and their
very jobs depend on the whim or con-
ditiOn of the bosses stomach.
On the other hand the union has
done something for machinists despite
all obstacles that have been en-
countered.
Here are some facts and figures to
prove that my statement is correct:
Sixty thousand machinists gained a
nine-hour day.
Seventy-five thousand nachinists Sc
cured an increase in wages averaging
10 per cent, amounting to $18,750 per
day, or approximately $5,624,000 per
year.
They have prevented the introduce
ton of piece work in ia shops.
They have prevented the introduce
ton Of the two machine system in 245
shops.
Thy have secured the proper regula-
ton of the number of apprentices to be
employed in oyer one thousand shops.
They paid on account Of strikes, lock-
outs, ETC.; $4,000.
They paid in sick benefits, $3.50.
They loaned on travelling, cards,
$6,947.
They paid mem bers out of work, $12,-
604.
They paid in death benefits, $11,225.
Now what will a sensible man do
when he has digested the foregoing?
Will he knock and continue to
swear that '@the union is no good?"
No.. He will take his fellow workers
with him and visit some of the meet
ings that, are being held in this city
join the union and assist in gaining
still better conditions"

Attire.

MATEWAN. W. Va, July 30.-Addie
Evans. thirty years Of age. was shot and
instantly killed last night by Mrs. VIII
liam K. Davis, on Tug River, near here.
The women were neighbors and had
been enemies for some time over the
fact that Mrs. Davis thought her hus-
band paid the young woman undue at
tentiOn. Last night Mrs. Davis saw her
husband walking along the highway in
conversation with her supposed rival
and became so angered that a few hours
later she procured a rife and went in
search of Miss Evans.
She found her in the front yard OF her
home and fired so quickly that the young
woman could not escape. The bullet
entered just under the right arm and
death was instantaneous. Mrs Davis,
after informing her husband of her deed,
procured more ammunition and was soon
in hiding in the mountains along the
Tug.
Later she escaped on a freight train
CARRIED in mans attire. Dispatches have
been sent TO the officials in various towns
to be on the watch for her. Mr.. Davis is
q prosperous lumber dealer.

POLICY OF REPRESSION
ALARMS THE CHINESE
Shanghai Editors Threatened With
Death.

PEKIN. July 3G.-The Chinese who
are advocating government reforms
have been terrorized by the readoption
of the old policy of repression, as in
stanced by the recent arrest in Shanghai
OF Chinese editors on charges Of sedi-
ton.
These arrests are interpreted here to
indicate that the extreme conservatives
are in the asceRdancy, and that the gov
crnment has determined TO suppress the
comparative freedom of speech which
has prevailed since the upheavaI of 1900
The names of forty residents of Pekin
who are accused OF liberal tendencies
were presented to the Empress Dowage-
yesterday by the reactionary officials,
who recommended that they be severely
punished Those accused are considered
guilty of what in enlightened countries
would be termed only legitimate criti-
cism of the government. This is said also
to be true CT the native journalists inn
prisoned at Shanghai, except in the case
of two of them, who suggested the assas-
sination of the Manchu rulers as a rene
dy for China's troubles.
All foreigners and progressive Chinese
are deeply interested in the decision
which the ministers Will make on the
question Of turning over the native edi-
tors arrested at Shanghai to Chinese
jurisdiction, and they express the hope
that techntcalities concerning the juris-
diction of the mixed court will be ignor-
ed. if necessary, and that the ministers
will refuse, on the ground of humanity.
to deliver prisoners TO the Chinese for
probable torture and death, as happen
ed in the case of the Chinese spies who
were turned over to the Chinese officials
at Shanghai in the Japanese war.
Chang Chi Tung, vicerOy of Nankin, is
reported to be the leader of the reaction
airy policy. advising such course to the
Empress Dowager, who willingly ac-
guessed Prince Ching is reported to
favor leniency.
At the examinations recently held in
Pekin for the selection of officials many
of the candidates departed from the as
ual custom of writing merely scholarly
essays and submitted papers favoring
improvements in the government.
Offices were refused 10 all who pur-
sued this course. The Empress Dowager
is said to blame the reformers and the
increasing freedom of speech for the dis
orders in the south. hence the repressIve
measures.
