''If I have criticised the unions, let me now say that have seen as much to de- plore in the course of those in authority who have dealth with them. There has been too much of arbitrary and unreason- able conduct on that side as well.
 "The management of all business Is comparative. mans effort in position of authority must necessarily be com pared with that of other mel In similar positions elsewhere. No man in authority can long maintain himself if his expense account is greater than his neighbors in the same line or business. Neither his directors. stockholders nor the public, if 1t Is a public corporation, will long have use for him if another can accomplish more. You cannot get for thing more than it is worth. except temporarily. and the cost of maintaining an artificial mar ket is greater than the profit in it.
 Some gentlemen interested In high finance are only just beginning to realize this. and 1t is no wonder this fallacy has taken root elsewhere.

Join the Unions and Work.

'The rich man of today can accomplish less than at any time in the history of the world and the restrictions placed about him are growing greater with every year.
 My advice to you who have families, who have a stake in the world is to join your unions and make yourselves felt in them. Be always a force for conserva- tism. It seems to me as much in your interest to do this as that you shall att tend the caucus and nominate good men for office and vote for them at the polls. Your apathy Is the opportunity of the demagogus, the anarchist, the f1oater, who has nothing to lose. Whatever tends to better the condition of labor must com mand the earnest and honest considera- tion of every right minded man.
 ''The brightest minds, the most practi- cal, are studying the subject and the great progress made by organized labor to my mind has been not by securing an increase of wages here and there but by attract ing the attention of such minds to a study of the conditions that have pro- these questions. ask of those who have had experience, get acquainted with those in authority-they are men of affairs mostly and are your friends Cease to be suspicious of the man who has been able to pass you in the struggle of life. He has not forgotten the day of his labor and dis couragement, through which you may now be- passing. and his advice may be of help. It is always worth while to lis- ten; you are not obliged to adopt.

SPLIT IN CONGRESS
SIONAL CONVENTION
Two Candidates Were Nominated BY
Two Sets Of Delegates From
Separate Factions.

Denver, Colo, Sept. 21,-The First
District Democratic Convention, which
met here today, nominated Clay B.
Whitford for congress, by acclama-
ton. At the same time the delegates
to the congressional convention were
nominating Whitford, a number of 9th
er delegates met at another place and
nominated James P. Mulligan for con-
gressman. A split in the congression-
al convention is said to be due to GER
tain leaders forcing through the coun-
ty convention last Monday instruc-
tions for Whitford. Both factions
claim they had majority of the dele
gates at their convention. The Null
Inns delegates had not been properly
certified by the county convention,
through some error, and for this reas-
on they were not allowed to sit with
the convention which nominated Whit
ford. 1t seems likely that Whitford
will win out in the contest, but the
Mullins people claim they have the
right on their side and are being job
bed.

| Kuropatkin, telegraphing under yes
terday's date, says the situation at the
front is unchanged. The Japanese ad-
vance detachments are feeling out the
strength and disposition of the Rus
sian forces and the Japanese flanking
columns are pressing northward.
Skirmishes between the outposts and
patrol parties occur daily, but no en-
gagement of importance is expected
for some days.
Many Officers Killed.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 21.-The Off
cial returns place the casualties among
the Russian officers at the battle of
Lao Yang at 465 killed or wounded,
including six generals and thirty-nine
field officers. Eighty officers of lower
rank were also killed.
Armies Keeping in Touch.

ed today from the military headquar-
ters in Manchuria says that portions

connaisance while returning from Ping
Taitsze and continued in touch with

and Fuhsu roads on September 18th.
There was no fighting.
Another Engagement Soon.
Toxic, Sept. 21.-The impression is
growing here that an engagement will
soon take place at Mukden Kuropat-
kin is evidently preparing to make a
determined resistance to any attempt
to dispossess him and is entrenching
and constructing defenses. He has an
immense force available but the i'm
preston prevails that Tie Pass would
be more favorable place for de-
fense. The Russians, however, are
unwilling to lose the prestige which
would follow the abandonment of Muk-
den. Both armies are now resting and
have fully recovered from the effects
of the fight at Lao Yang. There is
much, speculation now as to the extent
OF the fall and winter campaign, but it
Isl generally thought that Oyama will
continue pressing Kuropatkin back un-
til winter falls and will then strongly
guard his advance line until spring. A
renewal Of the attack upon Port Ar
thur on newer and more aggressive
lines is expected this week, and it is
predicted that the reduction of the
fortress will be accomplished within
ten days or fortnight.

order at 11:20 o'clock this morning by
State Chairman Milton Smith. A de-
lay was caused by caucus being held

order, although the Republicans claim
ed that distinction. He believed and
was confident that the expressed SEN
timent of the convention was that the
law should be obeyed by the highest
as we'll as the humblest men in the
state. II this condition cannot be Sc
cured the people are not fit for self
government This was no small ques-
ton, he said, and civil government of
the state now depends on whether the
Democrats can nominate ticket which
can be elected or whether the people
of the state must submit to another
period Of what he termed anarchy and
misrule., For this reason he warned
the convention that they must be care
full in the selection of their candidate
for governor as the. welfare of the
state is bound up in the selection of
that delegate. After the appointment
of the committees on resolutions, rules
and credentials, the convention took
recess until four o'clock this after

 Student Indicted for Stealing Books -- Man Charged With Murder.

Boston, Feb. 6.-Elmer S. Levitt, formerly of the shoe manufactu firm of Lamkin & Foster, was indicted by the Suffolk county grand jury which reported for the alleged larceny of $1O0,0O0 from the National Ex- change bank of this city. It is all legged that he procured this amount from the banks by making false repre- sentation with reference to the assets of his firm.
 An indictment for larceny was found agairsst rrederick H. Bates, the theological student, who was charged with stealing books from the public libraries of Boston and other cities.
 The jury returned an indictment charging murder against Ray c. John son, of Burlington, Vt, who is alleged to have shot and killed Mrs Sadie Peters at a lodging house in the south end and William E Mannix indicted on the charge of forging the name of Geo B.

SPRINKLlNG SALT TO-DAY
Law Should be Repealed and Let
 Everybody Use it.

The law regarding sprinkling salt on tue streets ought to be repeated SD that everybody may use it without being afraid of getting into trouble. This morning man walked through Exchange place sprinkling salt on the trolley rails and didn't appear to care who saw him. A fellow picked up a handful of it, tasted it to be sure he was making no mistake and then had several others try it. It was salt. The same man passed along to one of the city laborers who was endeayor- ing to get the ica off a crossing and after looking at all the pounding he had trying to make the place passable he inquired why he didn't try little salt The laborer said he ''dassent." !" It was against the law. It is so in all parts of the town. The use of q little salt would save a great deal o1 hard labor, to say nothing of the eXr pense, but the police keep sharp lookout for violatOrs of this law and as a result no private citizen cares to run the risk of being caught. The same thing is true with reference to the factories. Their men get along without salt on their ice. Private citizens and others find fault about this, and no wonder. Salt is the best thing in the worldtto put ice on the run and if it works no hardship to anyone by being used on the streets, what injury can it do on the side walks and crossingsl A trolley man told the reporter that it is practically out of the quetsion to run the cars on certain days in the winter without the use of salt. If this be so why not abolish the law and let the cona- pany and everyone else take advan- tage of it and then there can be no charge of partiality from any quar- ter.
