WHO ATTACKED EDWARDS?

The assault upon w. S. Edwards,

was as vile an outrage as was ever
perpetrated in the City of Chicago.
The manufacturers claim that Mr.. Ed.

and this, in face Of the fact that he
was notably friendly to their cause.
Union officials unite in declaring that

This fact has led many citizens to
the belief that the attack was either
purely personal or the work of nrt-
vate detective agency. which success
fully sought to stimulate business bv
forcing employers to secure bodv
guards. The strike had been wholly
peaceable up to this point. The Chi
cago Tribune says editorially:
There is no good reason to believe
that organized labor was directly CON-

SWEAT SHOP VICTIM
AR0USES SLEEPY ONES
Death of Nelly Healy in Colorado
Springs Causes Much
Attention.
She Was the Victim of an Eastern
Sweat Shop and Died
in the West,

Colorado Springs, COL, May 31.-The
local labor paper this week printed a
stirring article onE- the iniquity Of
sweat shops in eastern cities. Ordi-
narily an article Of this nature would
have little attraction for the we'll to
do of this city, but the editor conclud-
ed with the following story, which has
caused an anti-sweat shop organiza-
ton to form here: 6
''The article sotnds; different and
more personal to the people OF Colo
rado when viewed from the standpoint
Of something effecting directly our
own precious bodies.
when we read of the horrible con-
ditions existing in the sweatshops of
New York, New Jersey and elsewhere,
we are liable to look on it as a matter
entirely foreign to us, and 1t seems
the LIE Of little Nellie Healey must be
sacrificed in our midst as the direct
result Of employment in a sweatshop
OF Hartford, Conn.,, before we realize
that this is something of vital i'm
portance to every father, mother,
brother and sister in this country, or
must we wait until one of our own
beloved ones are taken?
II that is what we are waiting for
we can rest assured that a just Cod
who prizes the life Of each one Of these
dear ones will awake us even as we
desire. -
A victim Of the sweatshop evil,
Nellie Healey, 16 years old, is dead,
and those who have investigated the
case say that her young life was snuff
ed out as a direct result Of employ
ment in one Of the sweatshops in
Hartford, Conn.
Nellie Healey came to Colorado
Springs four months ago from her
home In Hartford. Her parents were
poor and she had worked for several
years in a Hartford manufactory.
Constant work ruined her health and
she was sent here a consumptive Her
parents had given her all the money
stolen by a sneak thief in the Chicago
depot. and she arriEed here penniless.
She was also caught In railroad
wreck in Pennsylvaaia, and was COM

employment as servant, but she grew
rapidly weaker and was taken to the
county poor farm two months ago,
She died Monday morning and her
family, who have been sending her all
Of their earnings, cannot now get
together money enough to provide
burial.
"The case Of Nellie Healey is one of
the most pathetic which have ever
had to deal WITH" said County Ply
sicfan H. L. Richardson yesterday.
"She was a victim Of that crying evil

her family added to the Sadness"

Mr.. Carl1n represents the Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners of America.
In the last year the alliance has
made great strides, and it is now be,
lieved by many that the organization
will eventually accomplish the things
it set about to do. The bringing to-
gether Of all the building trades into
one organization has been the dream
of the labor union idealist for long
time, and this the alliance is aiming
to do, with the chances of success
favorable.
New alliances have been formed in
many places recently, and St. Paul is
the latest place in which steps are be.
ing taken for the formation of a local.
It is predicted that Minneapolis will
be in line soon after the close of the
present convention, which will last
until Wednesday or Thursday of this
week.
Mr.. Bainbridge is being doomed for
the office of general secretary, which
carries with it the office, of permanent
organizer In this position he would
be travelling representative of the al

Recent events, however, have changed
matters so that it is more than likely
that Mr.. cambridge will this year &C.

DE6s' TRIBUTE TO. HIS MOTHER.
Eugene V. Debs has delivered many
eloquent speeches, but none, in our
estimation, that will compare to the
beautiful tribute that, as spokesman
for the children and grandchildren, he
paid to his mother on the occasion of
the golden wedding anniversary sew
eral years ago, and which was only
made public a few days ago by the
minister who delivered the funeral
sermon at the bier of that same
mother.

Mr.. Debs arose and affectionately re.
ferred to his aged and invalid mother,
who, though constant sufferer, on
that occasion seemed to have for.

that glad hour. He said:
There are two words in our Ian
guage forever sacred TO memory
Mother and Home! Home, the heaven

angel. To us, children, here today,
Mother and Home have realized all
the longing, yearning aspirations of
our souls, and now, in this blissful

cup full and over1owing with the d.
vine nectar Of our love. I need not
attempt to recite her deeds of devo-

ory, not a tablet Of our hearts, that is
not adorned and beautitied by acts of

tresses, and her voice, though less
resonant than in the years when she
called US from play to duty, has the

us she sang the cradle song which

Des Mo1nes, Iowa, May 31.-Three
thousand workingmen attended the
mass meeting recently held in the
Auditorium in Des Moines, under the
auspices of the Presbyterian Depart
ment of Church and Labor
Among the speakers was the. Rev.
J. Gray Bolton, fraternal delegate to
the Philadelphia Central Labor Union.
II bring to you the greeting of 10000
men in the labor organizations of
Philadelphia" he declared. II have

Justly proud, for did not see rowdy

Reorganization has brought you to a
point where you stand as a power

day Of responsibility has come. The
use you make of your power settles
the length Of your days. I have a
word from organized Christianity-to
tell what the church may do for or

Jesus. Now, this friendliness must be
confirmed by practical tests. The
local church may prove how it can be
done. 1t is not enough to tell the
message of beautiful home far, far
away, while children are overworked
and underfed in the homes Of the
poor. We want and we expect to
have Heaven begin on earth, and
without the comforts of home and
home life that is practically impossi-
,ble." =:
Now, a word as to how organized
labor may help. the Church of Christ.
A very large percentage of working
men believe in, support and attend
church. There is not city in the
United States that could support ten
churches which exclude the personal
presence and support of workingmen.
II the world Is to be saved it must be
saved by the moral force that lies in
the honest workingmen of this coun
try, and they must unite to dethrone
the wrong wherever it is, and to en-
throne right, and put the corrupt and
the corrupting out of business. They
must teach men everywhere to honor
law and to build up a kingdom of
righteousness here upon earth. This,
IT it is to be done, must be done by
education, cooperation and love of
Christ in all our hearts,"

BRANDS 1T AN INFAMOUS LIE.
Mrs. Harry Thaw Denies Quarreiing
With Mother.in-Law

Mrs. Harry Thaw Denies Quarre,ing
With Motker-in-Law.
New York, Aug IL wish you

the falling out between Harry's mother
and myself" said Mrs. Harry K Thaw
when she visited the Tombs prison to
see her husband. 1T is an Infamous
lie," she continued. 1--WE are the best
of friends, both working for Harry's
best interest"
Mrs. Thaw was then asked about
the report that Thaw and his mother
had disagreed over the method of con-
Quoting his defense.
"You may deny that, too, if you
want to-" replied Mrs. Thaw, "it isn't
true. AS far as know, they are get
ting along famously" +.
Mrs. Harry Thaw was joined at the
prison by Roger O'Mara, the Pittsburg
detective, and the two went together
to visit Thaw in his cell. O'Mara
said that his work would keep him in
New York for few days.
Three witnesses who offered volun-
tarily to tell what they knew about
the Thaw case were examined during
the day by Assistant District Attorney
Garvan. One of those examined is
said to be nurse employed in sani-
