PROBLEM
PROPOSED CIVIC FEDERATION
International Organization 70 Study
Labor Questions and Forward
Economic Education.

New York. Dec l6.-The creation OF
National Civic Federation as II exists
at present in this country was fore
casted by Ralph NJ. Easiey. chairman
OF the executive committee. In . re
port to the national executive conf
mittee OF the National Civic Fedora
ton at the annual meeting in this city
yesterday The meeting of the com
mittee was executive. and Samuel
Gompers. president Of the American
Federation CT Labor. presided. An
drew Carnegie was present.
Mr.. Easley in his report said the
movements for the organization OF
civic federations are making good
progress in England. France. Germany
and Canada. He believed their sue
cess might logically lead to the crea-
ton Of an international body to I'm
prove the condition of wage earners
and their relations with employers.
and to forward economic education
throughout the world.
Mr.. Easley invited the consideration
Of the federation to the projected
formation of an International indus
trial committee, in view of the prog
ress in the formation of international
ing tendency to the interuationaliza'
ton OF production.
Never before" the report says,
'have there been SO many evidences of
the grow tn of n spirit of broad con-
servatisni upon the part of large en-
ployers and upon the part OF organ
lied labor. IL is a significant and en-
couraging sign that from all sides
rings q cry for economic education.
This cry comes from the extremists as
well as the conservatives. This de-
mand for education must be met The
organizations of both labor and capi-
tai differ widely in details. They
have all been legislated against with
varying degrees OF penalty"
Abiding to the restriction of ap-
prentices and the efforts to regulate
competition. Mr.. Easley says:
The eternal presence OF these ques-
tions. SO vital to all society and the
progress OF civilization, invites the
most searching and devoted study. II
they are insoluble and irreducable
there may be found adjustments that
would prove effective so far us they
accord with principles. II Is for the
ascertainment Of these principles tina,
the department OF industrial econom-
les u6b Dttu OTSuIlZeu. i uiS auuitiou
to educational agencies should prove
the most comprehensive and far-reach'
ing movement ever inaugurated for
economic education"
The only organized welfare depart
ment which deals with the physical
comfort. recreation and education OF
employees has received support from
many employers according to the re-
port OF the chairman. H. II. Vreeland,
who followed Mr.. Easley. Mr.. Vree'
land said the work was practical az
well as altruistic.
A letter from President Roosevelt
was read in which the President re-
gretted his inability to attend the
meeting. and then spoke OF his
hearty accord and sympathy with
the purposes Of the federation In Its
efforts in the establishment OF more
rightful relations between employers
an1 employees" He paid tribute to
the late Senator Hanna. who was an
active worker In the federation and Its
president.

tom TAGGART ON THE HUSTLE
GUMSHOE CAMPAIGN FOR CLOSE
INDIANA COUNTIES.
Republicans Say They VIII Carry the state
by From $4,000 to 3O,OOO-Bryan
Getting Ready 20 Put on the Crown
Again-Strusgle for the Legislature.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct so.-The campaign
in Indiana has resolved itself into fight
for majorities in the close Congress and
legislative districts. Managers of both
parties have come to the conclusion that
Indiana must be won by carrying the close
counties, and in the forty or more where
the majorities are small the remaining
work of the campaign is to be centred.
National Chairman Taggart has taken
hold of the work for the Democrats and a
separate headquarters has been estab-
lished on the fourth floor of the Grand
Hotel, and here he and his lieutenants are
at work day and night. No one is ad =
mttei except such men as he sends for.
Not an hour OF the day passes but some
Democrat Of prominence from an outlyin g
district calls at the hotel, enters the ele-
vator and Is carried to the fourth floor.
Here he presents one Of Mr.. Taggart's
personal cards to the boy in waiting and
this Is carried to the national chairman,
and moment later he Is admitted. When
he comes from the room and an attempt
is made to find out his mission, he is nom
communicative, and sometimes far from
friendly in answering the question,
Practically all that is known OF what
takes place Is the fact that Taggart is look
ing after the Congress and legislative dis
tricts, and that the men who are sent for
are chosen to do some particular phase of
the work In them. But what this work
ia or how II is to be accomplished no one
but the chairman and his callers knows
Not one word as TO the methods has been
allowed to get out. It has been surmised
that Mr.. Taggart is dispensing something
more than counsel and advice. II has been
charged that he came from New York with
q check on the Shoe and Leather Bank OF
that city, and that the same was cashed In
a local bank of this city, but this cannot
be verified. But the Democrats have
plenty Of money, more than In all the cam
paigns combined since 1892.
There IL not expected to be much change
in the complexion of the Indiana dele
cation In Congress and at best the Demo-
Gratis cannot hope to gain more than one
member The Second, Third and Fourth
districts are reliably Democratic and the
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth,
Eleventh and Thirteenth equally certain
to 60 Republican. The Twelfth, Demo-
cratic district, has been gradually falling
of In its majority and the Republicans
are hoping to gain a member there. The
First, a Republican district, Is very close,
the majority in 1900 being bv, 2O2, and the
Democrats are expecting to gain a men,
Der there. Perhaps the chances OF the
Republicans in one are an offset to Demo-
cratic chances In the other and II the Re-
publicans carry the State by large pur-
atty they will not only save the First dis
trict Congressman, but will gain one In
the Twelfth. Conversely, II tho Republi-
can vote is greatly reduced, the Demo-
Gratis will save the Twelfth district menu

ship Fight Ia In Doubt.
WHEELING, W. Va. Oct. 90.-The cam
paign In West Virginia is virtually over,
although some OF the State candidates
will continue In the saddle until the last
moment. These include Senator N. B.
Scott, who came to town to-day. He is
deeply interested in the result Of the fight
on the Legislative ticket, because he is a
candidate for reelection In February. when
the new Legislature meets. There Is every
prospect that he will succeed himself, for
a close calculation, allowing Democrats
all they can possibly get under normal
circumstances, shows that the Republicans
will have fifty-nine votes on joint ballot,
that number being a majority. Republi-
cans have but to elect four new State Sem
ators to retain their ma ority In the Senate,
and allowing the Democrats all they claim
in districts now largely Republican they
cannot offset a Republican majority in the
house.
Postmaster James X. Hall, long member
OF the State committee, now Q Wheeling
advisory member. says, after the most
minute investigation Of conditions, that
nothing short Of great landslide can turn
the State over to its former political rulers.
This being the case, Senator Scott has
nothing to fear outside Of his own party.
Gov. White has repeatedly denied that he has
Senatorial aspirations. and IL Is not believed
that the boom for Congressman Aston G.
Dayton, Of the Second district, has the
support Of that gentleman himself, nor will
1t have even il the Legislature is close on
joint ballot. as has been minated would
be the case.
The candidates for Governor, William
NJ o. Dawson and John j. Cornwell, the
former being the Republican, the latter
the Democratic nominee, are fighting hard.
President Roosevelt is absolutely certain of
a strong ma jority in the State. but the
Governorship il q doubtful proposition.
The tax fight has injected so many new
elements into the situation that one cannot

one member states that the Secretary Of
State is too slick q politician to permit
himself to he defeated. The reputation Of
Dawson as an able political strategist will
help him no doubt, but Democrats say
his twenty-five years in Office will hurt
him more.
Republicans are reasonably sure Of carry
ing the State, confident Of the Legislature.
but virtually acknowledge there's an even
break on the Governorship.
Democrats are trying to arrange another
tour for Henry G. Davis through the State,
but It not believed this can be done. They
want to counterfeit any effect the trip Of
Senator Fairbanks may have had.
