FIGHT TO BE WAGED
IN UNION STRONGHOLD
Saleon Men of Bakersfield. Backed by
Citizens Alliance, VIII Try to
Secure ''Opcn Shop"

BAKERSFIELD, Sept. 1S.-To-mor-
row at noon the saloon men of Ba-
kersfeld and Kern, backed by the
Citizens Alliance, will take down their
union cards and the bartenders say
they will go out on strike. The
movement is the first of a series
planned to bring about an open shop
policy in all lines in what has been
considered one of the strongest union
towns in the State.
The trouble with the bartenders be-
gan with two saloons conducted by
firm that employed a men named
Johnson. The unions refused to
admit Johnson to membership.
The Alliance was organized here
about two months ago. The labor
leaders say they expect a fight to u
finish and last week a special meet
ing of the Labor Council was held to
consider the situation. 1t was stated
that the alliance would be allowed to
make the first move.

LABOR OUTLOOK

New York State Department
Issues It's Quarterly Bull
letin OH the Situation
UNEMPLOYED ARE FEW
Great Improvement Is Due
to the Phenomenal Activ-
ity in Construction Work

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 18.-The quar-
terly bulletin of the State Department
of Labor issued to-day has this to say
as to the situation in State and ma
ton:
In the first quarter of the year, ow-
ing to labor disputes, unusually cold
and stormy weather, and Iessened ac-
tivity in few industries, employment
was very poor, but subsequently there
was so much improvement that June
and July actually surpassed the rec
ord year Of 1892. Among approximate
ly 100000 wage earners in the various
industries of the State, 1877 per 1000
were reported idle at the end of June,
1904, as compared with 231 and 145 in
June. 1908, and 1902, respectively: for
the close of July in 1902, 1903 and 1904
the respective ratios were 1856. rs and
14S. The principal cause of this i'm
provement was the phenomenal activ-
ity in construction work in the lead
ing cities.
Conditions of employment in the
entire country manifest similar i'm
provement, according to the late sta
tistios collected by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. In the September
issue of the American Federationist,
the official magazine OF the federation,
it is said that among s5,450 members of
1892 local unions, making returns for
July. 1.6 per cent were without EN-
ployment at the close of the month,
While q month earlier the 1891 unions
making returns reported 81 per cent of
the membership as unemployed, and in
July. 1908, the percentage of unem-
ployed was 3.3"

his intelligence The Democrats of
Minnesota have right to be proud
that their only representative in con-

tried before a prejudiced judge and by

PUTS up PENSIONS
Bill for General Increase Is
Introduced.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 81
Representative Sulloway, of New
Hampshire chairman of the committee
on invalid pensions, today introduced
a distinctly service and age pension
bill, which will give to each soldier
who served ninety days and who
reaches the age of sixty-two years IS
per month; sixty-six years, SO per
month; and seventy years. $12 per
month. In addition, his bill gives to
the men who served two years or more
an additional increase of 81 per month
in each of the above classes. The bill
increases the minimum of pensions al
lowed to SO per month. instead Of Sc.
which will increase the pensions Of
1884 soldiers who are now on the
rolls at Sc per month. The bill further
provides that the pensions of widows
who married the soldiers prior to Jan.
1, 1870. and who are now on the rolls
drawing So, shall be increased to $12.
Heretofore the law has been that they
could not get $12 unless their husbands
died of disease contracted In the serv-
ice. This bill will given an increase to
the men who served ninety days, and
increases for the men who fought
through the entire war; and also in

President and Secretary Shaw Decide
to Keep Quiet About Cruzen.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 27.-The
president today sent to the senate a
letter from the secretary of the treas
ury concerning the report made by
Special Agent Cullom in relation to the
conduct of A. r. Cruzen, while COL
lector of customs in Porto Rico. Sen
ator Carmack introduced a resolution
calling for the Cullom report, 'if not
incompatible with the public interest"
The president has decided he is justi-
fled in considering the report confiden-
tial, inasmuch as Mr.. CruZen resigned
more than a month ago and his sue
cessor has been appointed and quail
fled. Secretary Shaw, concerning such
reports, says:
Il regard all reports of this character
as confidential and 1 believe it incom-
patible with the public interests to
make them public. The entire force OF
special agents of the treasury depart
ment is constantly investigating every
apparent irregularity at the several
ports. They secure much information of
confidential character. They could

speech the progress Of events have ad-
ded immensely to it's Importance. Mr..
Lind urges reciprocity with Canada as
matter of fairness, as matter of
justice to both peoples, as matter OF
high national policy He .foresees the
dangers that lie in postponement; but
those dangers have moved even more
swiftly than he or any one else could
have dreamed of. Today the question
is not so much whether the United
States will offer reciprocity to Canada
as whether any such offer that we
might make would be accepted. For
decades Canada has been suppliant
any time during that period she would
have welcomed even a modest gift of
tariff concessions, and this would have
drawn the two people so closely to-
gether that political amalgamation
would have been merely a question of
time. Today Canada is in a position to
spurn such gift if proffered.
The policy advanced by Mr.. Cham
berlain has in it larger promise than
even reciprocity carries. If his ideas
prevail, and it is apparent now that
they will sweep the United Kingdom
at an early day, then Canada will have
the tremendous market of the empire
for her own, protected by preferential
tariff levied upon food products of the
United States, and in those markets
she will buy and sell in preference to
ours. We repeat, 1t is doubtful wheth-
er events have not already made reci-
procity with Canada impossible. If
there be a remaining chance Of 1t we
must move quickly All the rearona
why the walls that cramp instead OF
protecting us must be battered down,
and especially why we should extend
our commerce with our neighbors on
the north, are marshalled in force and
logical array by Mr.. Lind. We COM

whether Republicans or Democrats. It's

that called it forth, but is as perma-
