COMPERS' new PARTY.
He Predicts WorIingnen's Victory at
the Polls

New YORK. July President
Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, after conferring
with local labor leaders and promi-
nent members of the executive COM
mittee of the Central Federated union
with reference to the political labor
movement, said:
THE present political labor move
ment is the most extensive ever known
in this country. The local and ma
tional labor organizations taking part
will make very aggressive campaign.
The movement IS the result OF the
neglect of labOr's interests by con-
gress and the legislatures.
I know the sentiment of the working
people and enthusiasm for the move
ment is great in all parts of the coun-
try. am constantly receiving messag ges
from unions all over the country ap-
proving of the movtment.
The time is singuIarly appropriate
and the unions will rise TO the oppor-
tunity. I have talked with forty or
fifty representatives of organized labor
about it in this city today, and I find
the sentiment Overwhelmingly in favor
of independent political action We have
enough level headed intelligent, honest
working men to give labor a good rep
resentation in congress. and we will
move Heaven and earth to put them
there and take hold of the measures for
the benefit OF the working people.
There are plenty of able men in con-
gress. but they are for the most part
brilliant and adroit rather than honest.
They neglect the interests of the people
at large for those of the corporations.
We want to have men who will see that
the working people get their rights and
viii elect at least some Of Them
Mr.. GOmpers went to Washington
to receive reports from all parts of
the country relative to the progress of
the political movement.

union to draw up a local political plat
Our platform is in line with that laid
out by Mr.. Gompers. He agrees practical
ly with all of its provisions. but suggest

next Sunday.
'As soon a s the plan is adopted a gen
eral convention will be called to arrange

WAR is DECLARED.
Live Stock Shippers VIII Boycott the
Kansas City Exchange.

Kansas City. July 26.=The Cooper
ative Live Stock Commission company,
Incorporated in Denver. whose officers,
directors and stockholders represent a
large part of the sheep and cattle rails
ing industry of the west has started q
contest against the Kansas City Live
Stock exchange. Hostilities will begin
September l. simultaneously the
sheep and cattle raisers will boycott
the exchanges of commission men IN
Chicago and st. Joe. They propose to
sell their stock without paying what
they contend is an excessive commits
sion charge. The sheep raisers are
leading the movement.
The Cooperative Live Stock Com
mission company has absorbed the
business of two members of the Kan
sas City exchange and will buy and
sell stock independent Of the live
stock exchange.
The movement is recognized as the
beginning of a bitter contest betw cen
the producers, backed by the packers,
against the commission men. The
independent company viii reduce
commission on sheep 81 a car and the
same on hogs. The charge on cattle
will be the same as that of the live
stock exchange.
One of the potent causes for the
orxa nization of q protective company
was the action of the commission men
in advancing charges for the sale OF
live stock.

They camped last night north of
the city at Hoyt, and breaking camp
early this morning arrived at the city
limits at shortly after II o'clock. With
the Eighteenth infantry band playing
and the long line of men striding
along at their best gait it was truly a
brave sight to stir the hearts of the
civilians who stopped on the streets
and lined the curbs to watch the
troops march past Accompanying
the twelve companies of infantry is
q hospital corps and two rapid fire
siege guns.
Major Curdy was in command OF
the detachment, and will remain so

OPPOSE STICKNEY.
Railroad Omcials Go to Washington
to Fight Recommendation.

hicago, July 26.-The Inter Ocean
says: western railroad officials have
practically declared war upon the plans
of A B. Stickney, president Of the Chi
cago Great Western railroad, for the
issuing and posting of tariffs, and a
committee of executive traffic officials
has been selected to appear before the
interstate commerce commission to op-
pose President Stickney. The committee
will try to arrange for hearing next
Monday or Tuesday.
j. G. Etubbs, vice president and tariff
director of the Hartman lines, who has
been chairman of the meetings held in
Chicago to study the new rate law, gave
out the personnel of the COMMITTEES yes

The committee will go to washington
at the earliest convenience of the inter
state commerce commission. and will
ask that body to make its ruling on the
sections of the new law which are in its
province to interpret or modify. While
the recommendations of Mr. Stickney,
made recently before the commission,
are considered good in some particulars
the committee is not inclined to submit
to all of the recommendation without
at least making a protest.
Mr.. Stickney may have a plan by
which tariffs so simple that laymen can
read and understand them can be is
sued" said a member of the committee
but if he has he is entitled to our heart
felt thanks. My impression is that
tariffs cannot be issued So that one WIN
is not experienced can understand them
We want our tariffs as simple as possi-

MUST PAY $500, 900.
Marshall Field Estate Held for Seven
Years Back Taxes.

Chicago. July 26.-The three
cornered controversy between the
board of review, the executors of the
Marshall Field estate and the city
corporation counsers office came to
an end when the taxing body decided
that the Field estate should be taxed
total Of S18O,000, 600 this year, in
cluding back taxes.
The decision means that the ex-
eeutors of the estate will be compelled
to pay the county $2.800,000 which is
more than the total amount of per-
sonal property on which Mr.. Field
was taxed during the last years of his
life The greater part Of this sum to
be paid is to come from the collection
of back taxes on which Mr.. Field is
held by the board to have escaped
payment. The members of the board
estimated the back taxes without any
authentic figures to guide them.
President of the Board w F. Up
ham held that the board should fix
the amount of property upon which
taxes had not been collected since
1899 at an average of SIS. 200, 900
yearly, amounting to sos. 600, 600 for
the seven years. To this sum will be
added 10 per cent interest fixed by
the law to be collected in all cases of
this kind This interest amounts to
S432 600.
