REPuD1ATED BY LEADERS.
Broke Contracts-Seriou Blow to New
York Strikers.

The most interesting development in the
subway and elevated railway strike situa-
ton in New York yesterday was the stand
taken by some of the national labor leaders
in regulating the action of the local deal
ers. who ordered and are conducting the
strike.
The first intimation the public had that
the strike was not Endorsed by the national
unions came in a statement from Grand
Chief Warren s. Stone of the brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. to which the mo-
tormen belong Mr.. Stone insisted that the
strike was a violation of the laws or the ma
tional union, the men having broken their
contract with the marlborough company
He ordered the men to report for duty, fall
ing which expulsion from the organization
is threatened.
William L. Jencks, head of the local
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. de-
ciared that he did not recognize Mr.. Stones
statement as having any influence upon him
or upon the strike.
mr.. Stone cannot dictate to me-" said
Mr. Jencks. .Shall he tell US whether we
shall have supper or not? The men were
ordered out, are out and will stay out until
the strike is won. Things are going beauti-
fully, and PROSPECTS never were brighter for
us since the strike was begun"
When the statement of Mr.. Stone and the
answer from Mr.. Jencks were known at the
offices of the marlborough company enough
was said by the officials to show very plain
ly that they were well pleased with the turn
matters had taken and that they were not
greatly surprised. When asked IL the COM

any union as an organization, they would

Bryan With Roosevelt

Mr.. Bryan in the Commoner declares that
No President has had larger opportunities,
no more reason for serving the people and
moving in determined way to protect pub
lie interest than Theodore Roosevelt He
is in position to act Independently and he
has recently shown some disposition to
protect people from the encroachments OF
special interests. He has reason to be
proud of the vote he received, and the
confidence which the people displayed at
the ballot box provides all the more reason
why he should discharge his duty in a fear
less way. The Commoner expresses the
sincere hope that he may have oppor-
tunitfes for giving 1t APPROVAL of his efforts.
Sooner or later men moving with a common
purpose will mass themselves against q
common enemy. Then men who have
thriven and grown fat through special in
terests will be required to remove the
shackles they have placed upon the limbs
Of the people. That Roosevelt's official con-
duct may be controlled by lofty patriot
ism and that his administration may re-
fleet credit upon its head and bring relief
and prosperity to tae people is the wish OF
all good citizens. Men of all parties will
join In expressing the hope that Mr.. Roose-
velt's administration may be fraught with
credit and honor to himself and with SUBJ
stantial benefit to the people

Origin of the Congress.
When the announcement was made some
years ago that, following the irresistible
movement for organization sweeping over
the country. the mothers OF the nation had
decided 20 form a coalition for united eff
fort IN training and for the best interest OF
the home, a ripple of amusement and In
some sections wave of apprehension. was
stirred. 1t seemed ridiculous suggestion
on the face OF 1t, and many pessmistic In
dividuals foresaw a menace to the privacy
and sanctity of the home life when the
dreaded glare of publicity invades its sacred
: precincts.
That was seven years ago. In COM
paratively brief space Of time the national
congress of mothers is said to have borne
+ permanent and prominent part for good
in all that touches the life of childhood and
for the preservation of the best ideals of
home life. Its varied endeavors for the in
struction of the young parents; for the well
fare Of children of the dependent defective
and delinquent classes; for closer alliance
between school and home; for the abolition
OF polygamy, etc, have, 1t is claimed long
since proved the seriousness of its purpose.
The publicity involved, the members say,
has proved blessing, and not blight,
promoting the natural growth among pa r.
ents OF the domestic spirit and thought for
all that concerns the home within and
without.
Much OF the power and practical results
of the work are said to be due to the char
acter and affiatus of the group of mother
minded and public-spirited women who have
been from the beginning the moving spirits
In the national congress of mothers. The
founder and promoter of the movement,

with whose high ideals the congress was
