RAILWAY EMPLOYES.TO
OPPOSE new RATE BILL
Railroad Corporations Induce
Representatives Of Unions
to Visit Roosevelt.
Say Movement to Curtail Cor
poration's Earning Power
Is Aimed at Them.

Washington. D. c., Nov. 23.-A pro-
test was made to the President this
week against proposed railroad freight
the five great labor organizations con-
nected with railroading-the engi-
neers. flremen, conductors, switchmen
and trainmen. The statement pre-
sented was as follows:
Why have the railroad interests in
particular, been selected for this at
tack? Why is the Inter-St Com
merce Commission or some similar
commission not to be clothed with the
same absolute authority to fix the
maximum prices on beef, pork, oil,
clothing, butter and eggs, etc., ETC.
in fact, everything which one has to
buy every day?
It seems to us that such a step would
be infinitely more reasonable than this
proposed move on railroad rates, be-
cause all of these and other COM
modities have advanced by leaps and
bounds, and by methods which we all
agree would bear investigation.
That the railroads Of the country
have been enabled to reduce rates
and spend large sums in the physical
improvement Of their properties is due
to the reduction or elimination Of
grades, curves, ETC., double capacities
Of cars, immensely increased hauling
power Of locomotives and superior
character of general service rendered,
showing, in instances. an increase OF
200 per cent. In train tonnage.
We believe that in this increase in
earning power and economical man
agement the limit has been reached.
Therefore, we believe that we can
take q fair and just view Of the situ-
alton when We claim that no national
legislation should be adopted which
shall tend, In any degree. to interfere
with cor interrupt the present or fu-
ture prosperity Of the railroad en-
ployes in this country
In presenting to the President the
foregoing statement George Huntley

Legally Right, Morally Wrong.
They may have q legal right to do
this but We deny them the moral right.
And after all the moral law Is the
highest law. Legislature may enact
laws to prevent men from doing wrong,
and to protect them in their rights, but
1t is the moral laws which build human
character and If there were no respect
for the moral law, all statutary law
would amount to naught.

It is a poor day that does not bring
somo developments in the printers
strike. The members Of the union are
as active today as they were when the
strike first started. Every fair means
is being taken to divert printing work
from non-union SLOPES. That they are
s,,. "ceding is evident from the fact that
he bosses claim they have sufficient
help necessary to do what work they
have en- hand.
If 1t Is true that the employers have
all tho men they want. then we may ac-
cept the statement as true, for the peo-
pie of Duluth are so strongly in favor
of the union that the bosses are getting
little Of the work. II the strike con-
tinues much longer they will need no
men at ALL
A number of the non-union men mix
ed with some Of the strikers this week.
The latter have been unusually sociable
with the rats" They evidently intend
to win them with kindness. We hope
they are successful. and we trust that
those who are unprofessional strike
breakers will realize that they are do
ing wrong, and will quit their nefarious
work.
Interviewing Strike Breakers.
Some Of them were interviewed dur
ing the week One Of them when ask
ed why he persisted in acting as a
strike breaker said: II am an individ-
ualist" He said it In such parrot
like manner that we wondered whether
or not he knew what the term meant.
Il am looking out for the money" he
continued. "and have a contract that
I know is binding"
He was asked to join with the union,
but he refused because he said some urs-
ion printer had taken his Job IN An.
other town some time ago. -'sS2'

our life who did not put up the same

Another strike breaker said that he
would work here but two weeks, and
then was going away. He needed the
money too. He claimed that he did not
intend to follow the trade, that he did
not like the work, but he did not ap-

GRAIN CROP is ENORMOUS.
Kansas Railroad Officials Are Hard
Put to Secure the Necessary Cars
and Motive Power.

Topeka, Kans., Oct. 2O.-Officials in
the freight and transportation depart
ments Of the Atchison, Topeka & San
ia Fe, Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific
and the Missouri Pacific, the three big
trunk lines traversing Kansas, and the
officials OF the other big western roads
as we'll, are just now beginning to reap
the benefits and also the calamitiesl
with emphasis on calamities-of the
enormous grain crop OF this year.
Never for years has the movement
of grain been so heavy as it is now,
and the railroad officials are hard put
to- get cars to take care of the ship
ments that are offered. In many in
stances where the roads are able to
obtain the cars, their supply of loco
motives in service is short and many
loaded cars are on sidings waiting
for locomotives to come along and
take them on their way
1t has been found necessary by the
railroads to call in every available
car and locomotive from every branch
line and put them all on the trunk
lines in order to take care of the enor-
nous movement.

The SANTA Re SPREADING OUT
Great System Taking Preparatory
Steps to Enter Indian Territory
as Competitor.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 20.-Condem-
nation proceedings are being carried
on by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe for forty acres Of land adjacent to
Tulsa, Indian Territory, for division
purposes. The appraisers have been
named by Judge Gill of Vinita, Indian
Territory. and they will inspect the
property shortly.
This is believed to be preparatory to
the Santa Fe entering the territory as
an active competitor to other western
roads. With the taking over OF the
Midland Valley, and the completion OF
a local road to Kansas point, the
Santa Fe will be a formidable candi-
date for business in the territory, and
will have lines in five different direc-
tions out of Tulsa.
This will necessitate extensive hold
ing for trackage and terminals, and
the condemnation adds testimony to
the rumor that the road has It's eye
on business in the oil fields, the pres
ent line owned by the road in this
district terminating at Tulsa.

burg with 100000 and was arrested
here yesterday, started back to Pitts
burg with the detectives today. He
seemed more low spirited today than
when he was first captured. He ex-
planned this, by saying that he hoped
to arrange for lenient traetment by
trading the secret as to the where
abouts of the stolen money, but the
fact that the detectives recoveres
$4,000 Of the money at Bristol, Con
necticut, last evening, removed the
prisoners hope in this respect. After
being told Of the recovery of the mon
ey, Cunliffe said that he had burned
the rest of the amount stolen, about

JURY is
STILL OUT
In Case Of Mrs. Helen Schmid-
lap, for the Murder Of
Her Husband,
TELLS HER OWN STORY
Defendant Causes Excitement in Den.
yer Court Room By Dramatic
Recital Of the Shosting.

Denver, Colorado, Oct. 2O.--The jur
in the case of Mrs. Helen Schmidlap
charged with the murder of her hus
band, is still out, with apparently lit
tie prospect of agreeing The case
went to the jury last night and today
that body reported that it could moi
agree, but the judge sent them back
for further consideration.
| The one startling moment of the
Schmidlap trial occurred with the dra.
matte telling of the story of the shoot
ing by the woman charged with the
deed.
1t is doubtful If Helen Schmidlap
knew what fine bit of dramatic work
she was doing, what her powers in this
line really are, how capable she is of
making those who are watchers and
hearers participants through the inten-
sity OF her portrayal-intense because
of the reserve force which is behind it
all. This quality has often been dub
bed genius when transferred to other
fields, and while Mrs. Schmidlap is
nothing If not commonplace, she re-
vealed glimmering light yesterday
which in person more thoroughly en-
dowed, more completely balanced,
would mean the attainment of the
heights. With her it was the result
Of oyersurging emotion sweeping away
all her present moorings and sending
her adrift like a straw in the swirling
current Of her deed
"And l shot him again, and again,
and again, like that"
The woman bent forward, her hands
extended as though they held some
deadly weapon, her eyes wide and
bright with yellow lights, her lips
showing like jagged wound out of
the whiteness of her face.
"And then, Mrs. Schmidlap, what did
you do?"
AS one coming out of mesmeric
trance the woman quivered, her eye
lids fluttered, her breath came in short
gasps, her figure relaxed She an
swered quietly:
"Then I walked out into the hall and
handed the revolver to woman who
stood there screaming and said: I
have shot my husband; here is the

In his address President Roosevelt
dwelt on his kinship to the South. He
said that two of his uncles, brothers
of his mother, fought in the Confed-
crate service. One of them, on the
Alabama, fired the last two shots fired
at the Kearsarge in that memorable
battle. "Men and women" he said in
closing, don't you think | have the
ancestral right to claim proud kim
ship with those who showed their
devotion to duty as they saw that duty,
whether they wore the gray or the
blue? All Americans who are worthy
of the name feel equal pride in the
Fvalor of those who fought on one side
or the other, providing only that each
did with all his might and soul and
mind his duty as it was given him to
see his duty"

The cost of the work is proving
