MAY SUE
HITCHCOCK
cHICKASAW OFFICIALS ARE INDIC.
NANT OVER PREMETURE RE.
PORTS SENT OUT.
THEY BLAME THE SECRETARY
And Charge that Investigation was in.
spired by his Spleen

South McAlester, l. T., June 20
AS a result of the indictments re-
turned by the grand jury at AID
more, aeainst prominent Chickasaw
tribal officers, it is very probable
that damage suits will be flied
against Secretary of The Interior
Hitchcock and several metropolitan
newspapers who published the pre-.
mature and erroneous reports sent
out from Washington. Thursday
afternoon it was announced at
Washington that indictments had
been returned against Mansfield,
McMurray and Cornish, tribal at
torneys. Gov. D. H. Johnson, and
ex- Gov. Palmer S. Mosely. chag-
lug them with being connected
with the fraudulent reissue of school
warrants. Not until Sat. at S o clock
was a report rendered by the
grand jury, and then the parties
above we're indicted for alleged con-
spiracy to defraud the Chickassw
government and not for connection
with reissue Of school warrants.
The indictments of the governor,
ex-governor and tribal attorney
were made jointly.
The bill recites that certain
salary and expense warrants were
issued to the attorneys and cashed
without the approval of the federal
government. The tribal authori-
ties contend that they have a
written opinion by Secretary
Hitchcock issued in 1900, in which
he declares that the federal gov
ernment has no supervision of
salary and expense account of the
tribes and at the time of this opin-
ion the warrants named in the
Indictment were upon the secre-
tary's desk having been called in
by reason of a house resolution by
Congressman Stephens of Texas,
asking for report on these ident-
.ical accounts.
The bad blood existing betv cen
Secretary Hitchcock and the tribal
authorities indicted Saturday is
considered responsible for the drag
net being piled By special inspect
or detailed by Mr.. Hitchcock.

STRIKE NEARING AN END

Chicago. June Steps are to
betaken today by the conservative
leaders in the teamsters ranks were
expected effectually to check a
growing sentiment among the more
radical element in favor Of gener-
al strike of all 'teamsters in Chica-
go and to encourage a prompt
enping of the existing struggle,
either by accepting the employers
terms or calling off the strike.
Meetings will be held tonight by
the department store drivers and
the railway drivers to vote on the
question of accepting the peace
terms of the employers.

JOKE ON THE THIEF

The fools are not dead yet and
amoung them are the thieves who
try to steal something of value
from the editor Of country news
paper. The editor of the Marble
City Enterprise recounts bold
robbery which occurred in his
Office, in the following interesting
way
Zone day last week the editor of
this paper hung his coat up in the
Office while he went out to look
after some business at the quarry.
I'm our coat pocket we left our
pocket book. When we returned
the pocketbook was gone and the
sinner who stole it has not repented
sufficiently TO return it and apollo
gize. The pocket book contained
some railroad transportation, a $40
promissory note that was past due
and a notice of our over draft at the
bank, but not one cent of the cur
rent coin of the realm. We have
no fear of the fellow using the
transportation, because we are too
well known along the line to be
impersonated by a petit larceny
thief. If he can collect that $40
note he is welcome to it, and if he
will settle the overdraft at the bank
in accordance with the notice we
will forgive him for stealing the
pocket book. He is evidently an
amateur at the business or he would
have known better than to put
himself to the trouble Of stealing
an EDITORS pocketbook. In our
humble opinion the joke is on the
thief.

Mr.. TINSMAN'S RAPID RISE
Is The Subject Of Much Comment. A
Self Made Man


The metropolitan press contains
much comment on the rapid rise of
w. S. Tinsman in the railroad
world. Mr.. Tinsman's many friends
here will be pleased to read the
following from the Kansas City
Journal.-"Mr. Tinsinan was rear
ed in Trenton, the headquarters of
the Missouri division, and was the
son Of a conductor. His father
died when he was slip" of a
boy. With only public school
education he started in as call
boy at the local office in Trenton
in the early so s. He soon worked
his way through the minor posit
ions and became chief dispatcher.
He then passed quickly to the
superintendency of the Chicago
terminal division, headqua rters at
Rock Island. ILL.,, where he made
acquaintance among general ofici-
ais, who were quick to recognize
his qualities of success. He was
later transferred to the Oklahoma
division, headq uarters at Chicka-
sha, l. T.. where he served as super
intendent.
When the Missouri division
the toughest proposition in
many respects on the entire system
needed a Moses to guide it out of
the complications that arose from
the recent exp snding policy Of the
Rock Island and its frequent
change in management, Mr.. Tins
man, whose early experience gave
him that knowledge Of local detail
that no stranger, however efficient
railroader. could possess, was
chosen as the man of all men to
meet the situation.
ut was an emergency call that
brought Mr.. Tinsman back to his
old division to restore it to its old
time habits in spite of its new and
disturbing relations. The emer-
gency was met promptly and
efficiently. Trains began to run on
time and accidents were less nu-
and severe. Things about
the Offices began to emerge from
the confusion. The division is
now in a running condition that it
has never boasted since the Rock
Island became a system of thous-
ands instead of hundreds of miles,
ana the major credit IS due TO TINS
young giant in railroads.
His sudden election to the rank
of a general official is the last chap
ter in Mr.. Tinsmau's remarkable
career, and his success has been
accomplished by no other influence
than his own ambition and abili-
ty.''

the friendship of the local union to a
remarkable degree.
Personally Mr. Thompson is one of
the most democratic of incorporating
wholly apart from the partisan defini-
ton of the term. He is enterprising,
liberal minded, friendly and thorough
ly in earnest in his efforts to please
his patrons. AS an employer of labor
he is eminently fair and just, and is
entitled to the cordial support of all
union men.
IF l am elected exciseman," said
Mr.. Thompson to The Wageworker,
1T will be my constant effort to stand
by Mr.. Brown and help hiEo enforce
the law to the utmost. l know that
Mr.. Brown will do the right thing ii
elected mayor, and have no hesitancy
in saying that if elected with him
will stand by him to the limit"
The Wageworker has heard only
good words for Mr.. Thompson from
members of the Electrical Workers
Union, and that is evidence that he
is fair towards organized labor. That
is all this labor newspaper wants to
know, ability and honesty being con-
coded.

which he has at heart, and of which he
is the honored and bra1ny head. Speak
ing of the strike on the New York sub
way, he says:
Il think the strike was unjustifiable,
for the simple reason that the en-
ployes violated their agreement and
verbal contract. The most important
object to labor unions today is the
honor of agreement between employee
and employer. The violation of agree
ments was the main cause of the
strike i'll New York, and if the leaders
of the New York union would have
considered the agreement the strike
could have been prevented. It was
simply case OF the members of the
union flying off half-cocked, and not
taking, the advice of the men who
have made the labor organizat1ons in
the United States what they are to-
day.
That is the voice of true friend, to
which all union men should give heed.

THE CAMPBELL CASE
He Simply Violated His Contract With
the Carpenters

Contractor Campbell, who does not
think much of unionism, has merely
given an example of inconsistency.
Having made contract with the Car
penters' Union he proceeds to violate
it. The employer who violates con-
tract with the union has small grounds
upon which to base unfriendly criti-
cism of unions.
Mr. Campbell contracted TO pay time
and half for overtime, thus recog-
nizing the S-hour day as enforced by
the Carpenters Union. He turned
around and violated his contract by
insisting upon working his employees
an extra hour each day without pay
ing what he agreed to pay. That is
all there is to the Campbell contrO-
versy. He is working three or four men
one of them being a non-union man
whom he once let go because he was
not competent. 1t is from this class
that Mr.. Campbell probably expects to
recruit his plenty Of men," A union
carpenter says that there are couple
of union men still working for Camp
bell, but against these men charges
will be preferred Mr.. Campbell's'
statement that the union men were not
called off the work is in line with his
action in violating his contract with
the union. The union men were called
off. .,..

AT our last meeting we talked a
little about your paper and decided
that we ought to help the good work

how much it will be-"
The publisher counted ninety-eight
names on the list.

ginjost.
When the business end of this pleas

tee appointed to attend to the matter.

A LITTLE INCIDENT
And the Non-Union Man Did Not Show
Up the Worst.

The chief merit about this little
story is it's absolute truth, although
real names are suppressed. The Incl
dent took place at the Capital Hotel a
week or. so ago. A little group OF
union men were talking together when
a n-union worker at the same bust
ness showed up. The non-unionist,
whom we will call Smith, because that
is not his name, was cordially greeted
and joined the group.
Smith, you ought to get into our
organization" said one. you are with
us in sympathy, and you ought to be
with us in fact"
I've been thinking about it," replied
Smith, land I'll join before long. The
organization is all right" .-.s- .
Better make application now, old
man." said one.
mo, I'll wait a little while. But
I'm union in sentiment and only per-
sonal reasons keep me out right now.
But I'm Thoroughly stunion, anyhow.
Now here's sthe label on my clothes,
and here's the label on my hat. and
there's the label on my shoes. =. How
many of You can show the label on
your clothes, hats and shoes?"
A little quiet investigation showed
that Smith, the non-unionist, was the
the label on all three, although two or
three had labels in their clothing, evil
IDENTIFY a mere accident.
Now who was the best unfonist,
after all, in that crowd?

ing?
Work is rushing and more men are
constantly being called for by the en-
ployers.
At no time has there been any Sc
rious danger of trouble between the
union and the boss painters in this
city, and negotiations for the ensuing
season have been carried on in the
most friendly spirit. Before this issue
is off the press it is probable that the
new working agreement will be signed,
and it will be agreeable in the main
to all parties concerned. The contract
will call for the closed shop and the
eight hour day.
The financial affairs of the union
were never in better shape than at
present, and the interest taken in the
union is greater than ever, as is evil
denced by the increasing attendance.

AGREEMENT REACHED
Carpenters and Contractors Renew
Their Compact and All Satisfied

Carpenters and Contractors Renew
Their Compact and All Satisfied
and the local contractors have reached
an agreement, and the contract in
force last year has been renewed for
1905. The conferences leading to the
contamination OF this agreement have
been marked by the most friendly
feeling, and at no time was there the
least danger of serious conflict.
By the terms OF the contract the
contractors will give the preference at
all times to union carpenters. While
this is not CLOSED shop agreement
it can be made to amount to practical
ly the same thing. Most of the con-
tractors now run under the CLOSED
shop" plan, and others may be brought
to take the same view OF the matter.
The minimum remains at 80 cents per
hour, and the S-hour day is strictly
observed. Overtime pay is at the rate
of price and one-half. A majority of
the carpenters receive more than the
minimum scale, and it is asserted by
union men and contractors that the
average is. fully 35 cents. More than
80 per cent of the carpenters in the
city are union men, and far greater
per cent of the capable men are union
lists.
While believing that they are in a
position to practically enforce the
CLOSED shop" now, the unionists pre-
fer to let matters stand as they are
at present, and fallow the leaven to
work without being forced. The re-
newal of the contract gives very gen
eral satisfaction and the building sea-
son opens up with the brightest pros
poets in the city's history.
