5000 RETURN TO WORK
On Basis of Open Shop, Lower Wages
and Longer Hours.

Chicago, Sept. 27-Nine thousand
men returned to work without union
regulations of any sort when the three
Chicago branches of the International
Harvester works and the Pullman
company reopened their shops after a
shutdown of two weeks. The men not
only returned to their former places as
individuals, but they also agreed to
reductions in pay of o to 20 per cent.
Before the shutdown the International
Harvester works recognized the labor
unions, but with the announcement of
a resumption of work came the state
ment that the company would not re-
new its agreement with the trades
unions and that the plants would be
operated on a basis of flfty-seven and
one-haIf hours week instead of fifty
four with no increase in wages The
men accepted the ultimatum of the
company without any serious mani
festations of disconent and all of the
old employees who could obtain work
accepted the new regulation, A call
was issued for a special meeting of all
unions having members employed by
the International Harvester company
to consider the conditions at the three
plants but the general decision is that
the men will remain at work under the
new conditions.
The case of the employees of the
Pullman company is different from
that of the Harvester company, mas
much as the Pullman company has.
ignored all trades union since the
strike in their plant in 1894. The Pull
man company announced it would re-
open its shops but at a wage reduction
of 10 to 20 per cent.
Less than two thousand workers
were given their former positions, but
these men willingly accepted the de-
crease in pay and several thousand
former employees left the yards of the
bitterly disappointed because
thew could not return to work even at
the reduced wages. 1t is the intention
of the Pullman company to have its
plant in full operation by next Mon
day. Work was resumed only in the
car repair shops.

Sl,7S2 FOR A RIDE.
F. NJ. Pease Makes Record Breaking
Trip on Pennsylvania.

Chicago, Sept BLY, a record
breaking run from Philadelphia to
Chicago. F. M. Pease, who IDEALS in
cars and locomotives saved bust
ness transaction said to involve $3.50
600. What it was no one knows ex-
cept the man and his attorney and the
three other Chicago persons princi-
pally interested in it=John w. Gates
Charles w. Gates and John NJ. Drake
The Pennsylvania railroad special
which carried PeaSe, his wife and lit
tie daughter, also carried a quarter
of a million dollars in cash needed to
complete the transaction.
The train covered the S22 miles be-
tween the two cities in sixteen hours
and ffty-Seven minutes. The best pre-
viOuS record was eighteen hours and
thirty minutes, made by the same
railroad a year ago. The trip cost
Pease $1,7S2.
Pease had missed the Chicago linn
tied on Thursday, and it was 'impera-
tive" that he should reach Chicago be-
fore 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon. He
started from Philadelphia at 4:Os in
the afternoon and reached here at
9:05 the next morning. That gave him
four hours to spare. The first thing
he did was to give the railroad COM
pany a check for $1,7S2.
i consider it cheap trip" was his
comment.
A cab took Mr. Pease to his Office
in the Railroad Exchange building
Then he called up Attorney Moritz
ROSenthal by telephone.
Neither PeaSe nor Rosenthal would
give the details of the deal which
brought the former to Chicago in such
haste, and no information was forth
coming from the Gates or John A
Drake. 1t is understood that it had
something to do with the organiza ton
of corporation. The Pressed Steel
Car company, with a capital of $685.
100000 was mentioned in connection
with the record breaking trip. Mr..
Pease and Mr.. Rosenthal were busy
with the nsaction-whatever it was
all day.
Pease said that he and his family
enjoyed the trip. There was no dis
comfort aside from nervous desire
to try and count telegraph poles and
the clicks marking the rail joints.
I tried several times to time the
train" said Pease, but gave it up.
The crew said we made more than a
mile 4 minute at numerous points
along the line"
THE special train, which was made
up In Philadelphia thirty-eight min
utes after Mr.. Pease gave the order.
consisted of sleeper, buffet car, and
locomotive. Instructions were given
to every division superintendent thirty
minutes in advance to have the tracks
cleared for the special, which had
precedence over everything else ON
wheels. At each of the six division
points engines and crews were
changed.

CANNON FINDS A TEXT.
In the Pension Clause in Parker's
Letter of Acceptance.

Hastings, Neb., Sept. 27.-Speaker Can
mons principal speech of the day was
discussed that part of Judge Parker's let
ter of acceptance relating to the presi-
dents order providing Tor d graduated
pension scale.
Speaker Cannon reviewed the law I'M
der which the order was made and me
construction placed on it by President
Cleveland and President Mckinley, ana
continued:
Now then when that order of Roose-
velt's was issued the Dickens was to play,
although along the same principle and the
same manner as formerly issued by Cleve-
land and Mckinley, and they have been
raising a row about it ever since, talking
occeAtonca ~ rs u 1r % he comn1sined Of
the expenditure of the government under
Republican rule and Roosevelt came back
How are you going to cut down these
expenditures? Are you for the repeal of
that executive order relating to the SOL
And Parker now comes back in his
letter of acceptance Just issued and says
that order And then he goes on and
says:
influence with congress to pass a bill Civ
ing an age service pension to the soldier
that performed service in the civil war
Il ask: What age, Parker, will it be:
you are, and probably not, sincere. But
suppose you are elected president, Mr.
Parker, and you use your influence, what
will that bring in the meantime? From
OOsOSO
sions taken away while you promise to
use your influence to have congress pass
a service pension law without stating the
age you propose to recognize.
Now 1 ask you, Mr. Parker, if you are
elected president. who will control the
house of representatives-will not two
thirds of the Democrats in that body be
made up of members from the south. and
are they liberal people with pensions for
the union SOLDIERS?
Let us read chapter from the history
of pension legislation as it stands on the
statute books today. There are fourteen
bills that have been passed from time to
time, and these bills form the pension
code. Who passed them? Democrats for
the bills AZ, Democrats against the bills
GAS, Republicans for the bills LOGS, Repub-
hcans against the bills none. That's how
the record of the vote upon those meas
ures stand Is there any hope there for
Mr. Parker's influence to be effective? He
is to take pensions away from thousands
of people and only replace them by a
promise to use his influence with party
in congress that has a notorious record
against that very thing.
Let me ask you, have you ever read
Bunyans Pilgrims Progress? Great
book: splendid allegory. There was Chris
tian and there was Faint Heart, and there
was True Heart and there was Mr.. Fac
ing Both Ways. / say to you that if Par
ker had lived then that character in the
book would not have been Facing Both
Ways, but would have been Parker"

LAND FOR PUBLIC ENTRY.
100000 Acres Will Be Opened for
Settlers in Idaho.

Minidoka, Idaho, Sept. 27.-The
Oregon Short Line will begin the con-
struction of a branch from this city
to Twin Falls City, on the Snake river.
where has just been completed the
Twin Falls irrigation enterprise, re-
claiming 275,OO acres of arid Snake
river valley lands. said to be among
the best valley lands of Idaho. The
irrigation work has been done under
the immediate supervision of the
Idaho state land board, and under the
provisions of the Carey land act. The
cost of construction of the irrigation
system has been about 100000, and
was one of the largest undertakings of
the kind since the act was passed by
congress. The state opened 10000
acres of the land to public entry last
fall and it has all been absorbed. The
land board has now authorized the
opening of an additional 100000
acres at noon. October 20. Preliminary
indications are that several thousand
settlers will take up homesteads as
soon as the new tract is opened to
public entry. The opening will occur
at Twin Falls City. where the lane
Office will be located.
Twin Falls City is one of the town
sites and has grown rapidly. one mod
ern hotel and several large business
blocks being in course of erection. The
new line to be constructed by the Ore
gon Short Line will pass through the
newly irrigated lands.

We MUST APOLOGIZE.
For the Arrest of a Member of the
British Embassy.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Sir Henry
Mortimer Durand, the British ambas-
sador, has received a telegram from
Lenox telling of the arrest of Mr..
Guenery and stating that the matter
had been referred to the state depart
ment. The ambassador took no action
in the matter nor does he expect that
it will be necessary for him to do so.
He expressed confidence that the state
department will take whatever action
is proper. He expects to leave Wash
ingStOn today to return to 1enoX as he
had originally planned.
Notice of the action of a special JUS
tice at Lee, Mass, in filming Hugh
Guerney, third secretary of the British
embassy, was received at the state de-
partment in telegram from Mr..
Raikes, first secretary of the embassy
who is at Lenox The department
transmitted this telegram in substance
to the governor of Massachusetts with
the suggestion that he do whatever
might be necessary to secure the dl-
plomatic immunity of Mr.. Guerney.
1t is believed at the department the
matter may be far more serious than
the local officers at Lee seem to regard
it. In the first place by constitutional
and statutory law the persons attached
to an embassy are expressly relieved
from any legal responsibility and the
exemption even extends to domestic
servants.
1t will remain for the governor of
Massachusetts to take initial action in
this case which will require prompt re-
dress. The last important precedent
occurred in 1892 at the picnic resort of
Bay Ridge near Baltimore, when DIR.
George, an attache of the Swiss lega-
ton in Washington was arrested by
deputy sheriff on the charge of being
a pickpocket and was searched and
otherwise treated in humiliat1nS
manner by the local authorities. State
department secured his release at an
early moment through the governor of
Maryland who also caused the dismiss
ed an apology for the Incl cent. Though
the Swiss minister might have pressed
further punishment De accepted what
had been done sufficient but the mat
ter was deemed of such Importance
that he could not give this notice to
our government until the Swiss federal
had formally considered the case and
expressed itself satisfied.

TEXAS A GATEWAY.
For the Introduction of Undesirable
Immigrants Into United States.

San Antonio Tex. Sept. 27.-Texas
and Mexico have been called upon to
play a part in the great European con-
spiracy to flood this country with hordes
of undesirable immigrants, and today
the Lone Star state is being used as a
gateway for these people into the Unit
ed States.
So alarming have the conditions be-
come that Commissioner of Immigra-
ton Frank T. Sargent of the bureau of
commerce and labor. has come to San
Antonio for the purpose of beginning an
active warfare on the smuggling of un-
desirable immigrants across the border.
Mr.. Sargent arrived in San Antonio
yesterday and today held a long and
earnest consultation with Mr.. Callahan,
the local immigration official, who has
done some very keen work in ferreting
out the details of the smuggling plot.
AS result of the investigations, which
have been going quietly on for the past
two months the Texas-Mexican border
will be guarded at every pass and
town.
If Objectionable immigrants can get
into the United States through the gov
ernment's barrier thus erected they will,
say officials, have earned their entry
into this country.
