THESE ARE BUSY
DAYS FOR MR.. TAWNEY
He Discusses Western Campaign Work
With the President

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 12.-Rep-
resentative James A. Tawney. of Mime
sofa, manager of the speakers bureau at
Republican headquarters at Chicago, today
discussed with President Roosevelt some
phases of the general work, particularly
as to the West. Mr.. Tawney has re-
turned from New York, where he had a
conference with National Chairman Cor
teIyou and Chairman Babcock, of the Re
publican congressional committee. He
says it probably will be month yet be-
fore the. speaking campaign opens in the
West 1t is quite likely. Mr.. Tawney says,
that fewer speakers will be on the stump
for the national committee in the West
this year than in the campaigns of
either 1896 or 1900. In the campaign of
1900 about 1,500 speakers were directed
from the Western headquarters of the
Republican party. An earnest and aggres-
sive campaign, however, is to be con-
Quoted in every Western state.
Mr.. Tawney will go from here to Chi
cago, where he will take up at once the
campaign work as mapped out by the
executive committee, devoting most of the
time to the Chicago headquarters, al
though also looking after his own political
interests in Minnesota.

TOO BAD

We would that we could spare the
gigantic intellects of our friends, the
enemy, that racking which they now
receive as they ponder on the Demo-
cratic situation and endeavor to eluci-
date it. 1t is SO serious a trouble to
them, and SO gratuitouS. Here, for
instance, is the esteemed Minneapolis
Tribune announcing that the decision
of the Democratic national committee
not to establish secondary headquar
ters in the West is equivalent to con-
Tossing that no electoral votes are ex-
This makes the Tribune unable to
understand how the Democrats can
win. 1t says: eve have seen no
Democratic estimate that left Illinois
out of the question" Yet if the West
is given up Illinois must be given up,
and therefore 'the only rational con-
elusion is that the conservatives have
no hope of electing Parker"
There can be no rational conclusion
from premises so delightfully."- ira
tiona1 and fantastic. OF course our
esteemed contemporary knows that the
Democratic campaign in the West will
be conducted as vigorously as in -the
East. 1t knows that the establish
ment Of so-called secondary" head
quarters is a mere question of con-
venience, and has nothing whatever to
ment. 1t knows that the Democratic
party hopes and expects to carry sew
eral states of the West. 1t knows that,
while there is a fighting chance in
Illinois, that it is not one of the states
looked to confidently; and, as far as
The Clio b e is concerned, It has seen
no Democratic estimates that took the
vote of Illinois into account. It knows
that the expectation of electing Judge
Parker is confidently entertained by
we'll informed Democrats the country
over. and that their hope of success
grows brighter and their belief more
strongly confirmed by the events of
every day. What is the use of such
foolishness as this talk about giving
up the West?" 1t does not deceive
anybody. and therefore neither helps
Republicans nor hurts Democracy.

Taaaart Will Be There

NEW YORK, Aug. II. = Chairman
Taggart, of the national Democratic
committee, will attend the notification
ceremonies at White Sulphur Springs,
w. Va. next week, when Henry G. Da-
Wis is officially informed of his nomi-
nation as vice president on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Chairman Sheehan, of
the executive committee, will spend
week or ten days at Bar Harbor, Me.
During the absence of these gentlemen
Vice Chairman Delaney Nicoll will be
in charge of the headquarters.
Chairman Taggart said today. that
very little can be done in real cam
paign work until the committee is in
stalled in the new headquarters. At
present the members of the committee
are keeping up the necessary CORE
spondence and attending to the details
of organization. Daniel McConville. Of
Ohio, has been selected to manage the
speakers bureau for the Democratic
national committee. He held a similar
position during the campaigns of 1895
and 1900.

NO GLASS LEGISLATION

1t is interesting to note that the su-
preme court of New York has just de-
clared unconstitutional an enactment
of that state following the identical
lines of the eight hour bill, which
there has been SO strong an effort to
push through congress and which re-
ceived the unqualified Endorsement of
the Republican state convention of
Minnesota. The state of New York
had made it a condition of obtaining
public work that any private company
should not require its employees to
work more than eight hours a day.
Two paving contractors had, it is
claimed, violated this condition AMI
money due them was withheld. Suit
was brought and the supreme court
declared the eight hour labor law un-
constitutional
that every court in the country must
SO declare. 1t is immensely for the
interest of labor. many times more
than for that of capital, that the courts,
should SO hold. We want no class leg
islation, and under the constitution we
should have none. If ever class legis-
lation should be tolerated by legisla-
lures and upheld by the courts, God
save the cause of labor. From that
dow 4 viii he IN hn
end capital, if permitted to do SO, can
sway legislative business more COM
pletely than labor, and can procure
legislation for it's class more insidious
and discriminating than labor can for
it's class.
Freedom of contract in all things le-
gal is a first principle. A government,
city, state or national has right to
prescribe the terms on which its own
work shall be done. 1t can make eight
hours, or eighteen hours, or eight
minutes a days labor if it so orders.
1t is the peoples work and the people
pay for it, and they can have it done
on what terms they please. But
state cannot be invoked to compel
private employers to lengthen or shortr
en- their hours or private employees to
work more or less time than they de-
sire for given wage. Labor must be
left Free regulated only by the COM
petition of the market.
Any other condition must end in
virtual slavery for the wage Garner.
Let it lay ever so light finger upon
his liberty to dispose of his work as
he pleases, and there is no limit to the
tyranny that it may reach. Congratu-
lations are due to labor most Of all
upon the position taken by the New
York court; and the case, both in it's
important legal bearings and in its
ultimate outlook, might well be studied
carefully by all those who have been
urging the courts to pass law com
pelling contractors for federal work to
recognize the eight hour day in their
establishments.

Assault Non. Union Drivers

NEW YORK, Aug. II. = Assaults
upon non-union drivers became gener-
al during the afternoon and several
men were roughly handled despite the
efforts of the police guard assigned to
every team. That the sympathy of
the teamsterS employed by independ-
ent packers who were not affected by
the strike was with the strikers was
evident on several occasions. They
would zigzag their teams across the
street in front of wagon driven by
nom union man and make his progress
as slow as possible.
A non union driver was badly beat
en- by crowd of strikers near the
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger plant, and
after he was rescued by the police he
quit his job and went home under po-
lice escort.

THE RUSSIAN HEIR APPARENT

A child was born yesterday at the
Peterhof palace in whose existence the
peace Of the world and, incidentally,
the future of Russia may be bound up.
Fanatfcal Russia has prayed with
fervor altogether incomprehensible to
us for the birth of an heir to the
throne. Upon-the answer to the prayer
much was said to depend: the life of
the czar, the retention of the czarina
as the imperial consort, the unity of
Russia and the pursuit Of the present
war. All these things were concerned.
If the people could but be shown
man-child born to the imperial house,
the Russians, who are bound to the
soil, would rally to the support of the
czar, the grand dukes would be shorn
of the despotic power they WELD, the
strong boxes of Russia would be open
ed and Russian blood would be pour
ed out to preserve the crown and the
wide domain of the Little Father.
To people so superstitious, So close
to the soil and so badly governed as
the commonalty of Russia, events of
comparative insignificance sometimes
assume great proportions. There is
reason to believe that the birth of an
other daughter to the czar would have
been accepted by the commons of
Russia as proof that heaven was
frowning on the royal house-and the
spread of that belief might readily
lead to an upheaval with assassination
as its expression and dynastic revolu-
ton for its aim. A reactionary czar
sitting on the throne of the Romanoffs
has fed by his own absurd proceedings
the beliefs of the ignorant people. He
has importuned Providence for an
heir; his. clamors have led the people
to believe that he feared he was ac-
cursed. 1t will be worth while watch
ing this absurd monarch now that his
prayers have been granted.
The czar will assuredly be moved
to some public demonstration of his
sense of appreciation for the favor
that has been shown him. 1t is quite
within the range of possibility that he
might sue for peace in the East-or
ask for peaceful arbitration of the
hands. the birth of the infant may ap-
peal to him as further reason for
carrying on the aggressive policy Of
his government. A weak and reac-
tionary representative of house that
has made little for the betterment of
humanity, the present head of car
dom may be depended upon to do
something to express his gratitude to
Providence for the present dispensa-
ton. That he will do anything that
will affect the progress of world
events we have no assurance and little
hope. He is more like to build
shrine than to try to raise the burden
which his house has imposed upon
progress.
On the other hand, the Russian SOL
diery, lacking the quality of patriot
ism as we know it. is intensely de-
voted to the head of the church and
state. The birth of the little prince
at Peterhof will assuredly inspire the
forces in the East with great. enthu-
siasm, and if this enthusiasm be but
properly directed it is like to make a
vast difference in the aspect of affairs
in the theater of war.

WILL ASK MAYOR TO
SETTLE THE STRIKE
Belief That He May Succeed
as He Did in the Street
Car Difficulty

CHICAGO, Aug. 12-Mayor Carter
H. Harrison will tomorrow be asked DO
do what he can toward settling the
stock yards strike. With all prospects
of peace, or even peace conferences.
gone, the retail meat dealers and gro
GERS tonight decided to ask Mayor
Harrison to take position in the pres
ent conflict similar to the position TAX
en- by him in the street car strike last
fall. The street railway strike was set
tied through his efforts. AT meet
ing of the retail dealers this afternoon
committee of ten was appointed to
wait upon the mayor tomorrow. Rep
resentatives of the strikers were at this
meeting and expressed themselves as
being satisfied with the plan.
Previous to the decision to request
Mayor Harrison to intercede for peace,
Cornelius Shea, president of the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Teamsters, de-
cIared that there would be no more
sympathetic strikes of the members of
his union. He said that all the pack
ing house teamsters now on strike
would stand pat. meaning that they
would remain on strike. He said:
There will be no extension of the
fight so far as our organizations are
concerned, and no change will be made
in regard to picketing the places which
have been put under the ban of the
unions"
Mr.. Shea's attitude is taken to mean
that the teamsters' joint council will
refuse to sanction any actual walk
out of its members when they meet
Sunday.
Usual Daily Riot
A riot in crowded Fifth avenue,
within square of the city hall, and
recalling the teamsters strike two
years ago, when missiles were hurled
from the windows of office buildings,
capped 'the climax of disorder in the
stock yards strike today. During the
day half a dozen men were hurt in
various encounters and shots were
fired during an attack on a trainload
of strike breakers" All told, today's
violence was more widespread than in
any previous twelve hours of the
strike, although no mob of great size
took part in any of the assaults.
Even President Golden, of the team
sterS' union, was attacked while try
ing to rescue Max Falk, a union team
ster. who was driving wagon loaded
with meat. Four hundred persons had
pursued Falk, not knowing he was a
unionist, and was attacking him when
President Golden appeared. When
Falk produced a union button Golden
mounted the wagon. took the reins and
urged back the mob. Stones and sticks
were showered at Golden and Falk
before Golden, who suffered many in
juries. was recognized.
