MORMON CHURCH DENIES
THAT 1T OPPOSES UNIONS.
President Smith Sends Telegram to
This Effect to President Gumpers
of American Federation.

Salt Lake City. Utah, Jan. 2.-The Nor
mon Church to-day sent a telegram to
President Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, denying the charge that
the church had taken a stand agains, or
Ganized labor. The message, which is
signed by President Joseph H. Smith and
his advisers in the first presidency, JOHN
r. Winder and Anthon II. Lund. follows:
"a reDort having been circulated that
the Mormon Church has used its influ-
ence against organized labor and had en-
deavored to fill TIE places of union strik
ers with nonuniol men. We hereby en-
pfaticaliy deny tnat the church over
which we preside has taken any sIch
steps or issued any instructions on this
matter.
II hc whole story originated in a false
newspaper report"
The charges referred to arose from the
reading at the regular tabernacle serv-
ices last Sunday of notice by President
George Q. Cannon of the Salt Lake Stake
that men were wanted in the Utah coal
mines to fill the places of strikers. Pres
iden. Cannon sayo the notice was handed
him by d coal company official and read
with other notices, as is the custom. No
question Of church influence, he says. was
directly or indirectly connected with the
reading of the notice.

STRONG SENTIMENT
FAVORS GOOD ROADS
Plan for Cooperation Between
Government and Various
Ctates Acquires Strength.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

I
Washington. Jan. 2.-Sentiment in favor
OF some plan for permanent road building
by cooperation between the United States
and the various States is developing in
various sections of the country.
What is known as the Brownlow bill
has been reintroduced in the House of
Representatives. and Mr.. Gallinger has
introduced in the Senate a bin almost
identical with il. The sentiment. which
two years ago was too feeble to find ex-
preston. seems now sufficiently developed
In both houses of Congress TO take the
form of matured legislation.
Although these bills have been intro
duced by Republicans, they are not parti-
san measures. Senator Latimer of South
Carolina has also formulated bill. and
is about to introduce it in the Senate, pro-
viding in similar manner for general
system of cooperation in permanent road
building between the United States and
the various States.
All these bills agree as to the principle
of national aid the only points of dis
agreement being in the matter of details
in legislation. especially pertaining to the
execution of the work when money is
vides for a commission of three persons,
to be appointed by the President of the
United States.
So far, the work done by the United
States Government through the Office of
public roads inquiries has been entirely
nonpartisan ard the Indications so far in
reference to the enlargement of this work
are that it will be kept nonpartisan in
the future.
Senator Latimer is one of the strongest
advocates OF this general measure in
either house of Congress. In the last po-
litical campaign he stumped the entire
State on the good-roads proposition. With
in the last two weeks he has been TO the
State CT Delaware, on the request of
Senator BAH. and has discussed the road
question. and reports that the people are
with him on the issue.
He will 90 to Little Rock. Ark, next
month 10 address what is expected TO be

bled to iier industrial questions.

JUMPED 60 FEET
TO AVOID CRANE.
Rather Than Be Brushed From a
Wall, Workman Leaps and
Escapes Serious Injury.

4. f. Gardner, a bricSlayer. jumped
from a sixty-foot wall yesterday at the
Pittsburg Reduction Works, East St.
Louis. to save himself from being knocked
off by the swinging arm of huge crane.
His right leg was broken ard his left
leg was sprained at the ankle. but he was
not injured internally. He was taken to
his room in the Pearl Hotel. on Broadway.
Gardner was alone on the wall. which
is being built for a gas reservoir. and was
waiting for a load of material which was
being hoisted, and swung into place by
a crane.
Mlsiudgment or failure to understand
the signals sent the big shovel OF ma
terlal suspended by the arm of the crane
swinging toward Gardner.
He stayed on the wall until the arm al
most touched him, and then, to save him
self from being brushed off the wall, he
jumped.
He landed on a wooden platform, which
broke his fall. He was conscious when
pickeu up by his fellow-workmen, and
requested that he be sent to his room in
stead of to hospital.
