Costumes of Labor Strife.

In reviewing labor events, he said:
The theory that the condition OF labor can be
bcttered by checking production and making life
and property insecure was put to an extensive
test, and the results were disappointing to
those who believe in that theory. There are
many indications which go to show that or
ganized labor is learning very valuable lesson
in economics and law observance and hopes can
be reasonably entertained that the strikes which
have characterized the last year will be less
strenuous in the immediate future.
After celebrating on the costliness
Of labor strife, which he declared to
be national calamity, he said:
The manufacturers and employers do not desire
this, strife, and labor should not seek It. It
seems repugnant to our ideas Of twentieth CEN
tury civilization to fight out this question in the
gladiat orial arena. Surely any cause with right
upon its side need not fear an appeal to the
conscience and intelligence of the American peo-
pie. TO defy government and to trample upon
the rights Of others is to confess to being In
the wrong. It likewise bears near resemblance
to anarchy and rebellion.
It is absurd to charge the manufacturers and
employers with combining for the purpose of re-
ducing wages and otherwise depressing their en-
ployees. OF all the associations of employers
in this country know of not single one that
has for its object the depressing Of the employee.
There has not been any concerted effort to force
reduction of wages, and do not believe there
will ever be such an effort.
Mr.. Parry then declared that high
wages were a blessing and not a curse
Neither the employer nor the en-
ployee," said he, "can beyond very
limited degree affect the rate Of wages
either one way or the other"
How to Raise Wages.
Mr.. Parry then declared that the
only way to raise wages is to increase
the per capita production. He said
that men really worked for commodi.
| ties and that since all commodities
which supplied the wants and desires
of daily life must be distributed, II no
for one price then for another, then i
followed that the greater the amour
Of such commodities produced, thu
greater is bound to be the amount go
ing to each individual, that is thu
greater the real wages of men will be
come. Continuing, he said:

Milwaukee, May 1.-THE democrat
ic state convention, which will elect
four delegates to the national conven-
ton in st. Louis, met at noon to-day
in the Pabst theater.
Before the convention was called
to order the opinion generally pre-
vailed that Edward c., Wall would
easily defeat William r. Hearst In Sc
curing the Endorsement for the presi-
Dental nomination, and that among
those certain Of being chosen national
delegates were Mayor David S. Rose
OF Milwaukee and Neal Brown OF
Wausau. Others mentioned include
Congressman Weisse of the sixth dis
trict, Colonel George w. Bird Of Mad
ison and DR.. Wendell A. Anderson OF
La Crosse.
1t was reported that Timothy e
Ryan would undoubtedly be re-elected
national committeeman, and In con-
sideration of this honor, and from the
fact that he lives in the same dis
t.ict as Mayor Rose, Mr.. Ryan was
willing to forego being a national del
egate-at-large.
Chairman A. r. Warden Of the state
central committee called the gather.
ing to order. and introduced former
Congressman Owen A. Wells Of Fone

The two armies are now bivouacked

That is tonight the claim of the
men who are in charge of the political
affairs of the New York candidate.
All day long the Parker opponents
have tried to perfect the programme
which would prolong the balloting and
afford an opportunity to name an
other candidate, but apparently they
have not succeeded.
Many combinations have been sug-
gested, but so far they seem to have
proven incapable of being assembled
into a shape sufficiently substantial to
show the Independent and uninstruct-
ed delegates how another candidate
can be named. Men who are supposed
to hold the balance of power have
asked the Parker opponents to say
what would be done after Parker had
been put out of the race, but tonight
they say they have received no sat

GEN. lOKU DESCRIBES
RUSSIAN CRUELTIES.

Toxic, July 4, II a. m.-Gen. O1u has
forwarded detailed report to the inn
perial headquarters answering charges
preferred by the Russian authorities
that the Japanese troops were respon-
sible for atrocities committed on the
field during the engagement at Wuf-
angtien, preceding the battle of Vafan-
Cow (Telissu). He says the charges
are totally unfounded but, on the con-
trary, that he had proofs that the
wounded Russian prisoners highly ap
preciated the humane treatment they
and their comrades had received from
the japanese. The Russians, he de-
clared, have cruelty mutilated the Jap
anese who fell into their hands wound
ed.
Gen. Oku then makes the following
charges:
That on June Is, six Japanese scouts
were overpOwered by Russian troopers
who ran bayonets in their mouths, in
their heads and cut their breasts open;
that on June 27 the Russians captured
a Japanese cavalrynan whom they
bayonetted and then cut his abdomen
open. On May Is, the Russians be-
headed "A Japanese cavalryman whom
they had captured.
Gen. Olxu asserts that acts of cruelty
on the part of the Russian troops are
numerous, and announces his purpose
to report in the future every case of it
which is brought to his notice. He says
he feels that he is not fighting a civil
lied army.
Associated Press correspondents are
unable to furnish any facts in connec-
ton with Gen. Oku's charges, because
no neutral observers were permitted TO
be present on the field. at either of the
engagements which took place at WI
Fang Tien and Vafangow.

WAR IN The EAST.

Gen. Oku, commanding one of the
Japanese armies. counters the
charges of the Russians, who declare
that the Japanese have been guilty
of mutilating Russian wounded
and inflicting torture, by asserting
that the Japanese have been the
victims of such practices followed
by the Russians. rather than being
themselves the perpetrators of
atrocities the Russians charge.
Now that the weather has be-
come so wet, the opposing forces
have practically suspended opera
tions. They are separated by but
a narrow strip of country, and at
any time hostilities may be re-
sumed.
The Russians reason that this
period of enforced inactivity will
be to their advantage While they
wait reinforcements are reaching
them.

no news of the sea fight reported

Cured on June q. The Japa-

HARD BLOW TO THE
OPPONENTS OF PARKER.
The Pennsylvania Action Caused
Some CONSERVATION.

Some conformation.
St. Louis, July 4.-The action of
Pennsylvania tonight in voting to
abandon their favorite son and sup
port Judge Parker almost entirely
changed the situation so far as the
divided sentiment i'm the New York
delegation was concerned. Senator
Hill was led to reark that with an
other small accession Judge Parker
would be elected on the first ballot
William f. Sheehan, who has been the
active leader of the Parker forces, and
August Belmont deprecated this and
argued that it would be wise to al
low the other states to at least have
the honor of naming I'm convention their
faVorite candidates.
The news was received at the Tam
many headquarters in an entirely diff
ferent way. Leader Murphy at first
refused to believe IL, saying that he
had been assured late last evening that
the delegation would support ex-Gov.
Fattison.
Leader Murphy said: I'VE expected
Pennsylvania to have a candidate of
its own, but we are not disheartened.
There are still two or three days be-
fore the nomination and we shall con-
tinue to do active work against Mr..
Parker not because we dislike him per-
sonally. but we know that he cannot
carry New York state"
Bourke Cochran and some others OF
the leaders in Tammany went over to
Alabama's delegation during the even
ing to try and persuade them to con-
solidate their ten anti-Parker votes.
Alabama has twenty-five votes, twelve
of whom are instructed for Parker. the

plans came from Virginia. Tammany,
