GRIEVANCES OF LABOR
AMERICAN FEDERATION SUBMITS
DOCUMENT TO ROOSEVELT,
CANNON AND FRYE.
CONGRESS- INDIFFERENT TO DEMANDS
MEASURES OF INTEREST TO THE
WORKING CLASSES ADvO-
GATED IN VAIN.

Washington, March 22.-President
sompers of the American Federation
Labor and the executive council or
that organization, with about 100 pres
ldents and representatives OF interna-
:ionai trades unions, were received by
Speaker Cannon in the house lobby
during the day. They presented
document concerning pending labor
legislation, which later was presented
to Senator Frye and President Roose-
gelt. The document Is as follows:
"The undersigned executive council
of the American Federation OF Labor,
and those accompanying us in the
presentation of this document submit
10 you the subject matter of the grieV-
ances which the workmen Of our coun-
try feel by reason Of the Indifferent
position which the congress OF the
United States has manifested toward
the Just, reasonable and necessary
measures which have been before IL
these past several years and Which
particularly affect the interests OF the
working people, as well as by reason
of the administrative acts of the ex-
ecutive branches of the government
and the legislation of the congress
relating to these interests. For con-
venience the matters OF which we
complain are briefly stated and are as
follows:
"The law commonly known as the
eieht-hour law has been found inef-
.ective and insufficient to accomplish
the purpose Of Its designers and
.ramsrs Eab6f has since 1894 urged
ne passage Of a law SO as to remedy
the defects and for its extension OF all
work done for or on behalf OF the gov
srnment Our efforts have been IN
vain.

"In the interest of all of our people,
and In consonance with their almost
general demand, We have urged con-
gress for some tangible relief from
the constantly growing evil Of induced
and undesirable immigration, but with
out result.
Recognizing the danger OF Chinese
immigration and responsive to the de-
mands of the people congress years
ago enacted an effective Chinese ex
clusion law; yet, despite the expert

is TOO RADICAL.
WOULD REVOLUTIoA|zE CONDITIONS
DECLARE PAY ASKED MEANS AN
INCREASE OF $50 PER CENT
IN SOME CASES.

New York, March 22.-The demands
:. the anthracite mine workers for a
adjustment of wages and conditions
IN the anthracite fields would, If grant
ed by the operators, mean veritable
revolution in mining conditions, &C
cording to a statement issued by the
operators committee Of seven. The
statement declares it to be mistake
to assume that an eight-hour day and
a 10 per cent wage increase represents
the sum total of the demands OF the
miners. THE new and uniform SCALE
saws the statement, would place every
man on the same basis, increasing the
wages of some men as much as l5o
per cent. The average increase, under
the uniform scale. would be nearly 80
Der cent for outside men. The pro-
posed schedule would mean verita-
BILE revolution in mining conditions
The statement says that the miners
insist upon uniform wage scale for
116 separate and distinct classes or
workmen about the mines. For
years" 1t continues, "the operator and
employe have recognized the different
value of labor In different localities
and even in different sections OF the
same colliery. Yet now the miners
committee demands equal pay for the
engineer who runs little ten-horse-
power engine and the man who has
giant engine in his charge. They al
low no more for the men working un-
der difficulties and dangers than for
the same class of workers at posts OF
ease and simplicity"

Radical Remarks OF Chicago Univer

Chicago, March 22.-Issues growing
out of the complex problems OF mod

speakers at the fifty-eighth convoca-
ton of the University of Chicago. In
his convocation address Floyd Russell

DISTtNCTIVELY A CREAM OF
TARTAR BAKING POWDER

now, by act OF congress, it is seriously
proposed to invalidate that law and
reverse the policy.
THE partial relief secured by the
laws of 1895 and 1898. providing that
seamen shall not be compelled to en-
dure involuntary servitude, has been
seriously threatened at each succeed
ing congress The petitions to secure
for the seamen equal rights with all
others have been denied and dis
position shown to extend to other
workmen the system OF compulsory
labor.
Regarding the Injunction.
THE beneficent writ of injunction
intended to prohibit property rights
has, as used in labor disputes, been
perverted so as to attack and destroy
personal freedom and In a manner to
hold that the employer has some
property rights in the labor OF the
workmen. Instead Of obtaining the re-
lief which labor has sought Ii Is seri-
ously threatened with statutory au-
thority for existing judicial usurpa-
ton.
THE committee on labor Of the
house of representatives was insti-
tuted at the demand of labor to voice
its sentiments, to advocate its rights
and to protect its interests. In the
past two congresses this committee
has been so organized as to make in
effectual any attempt labor has made
for redress. This being the fact In the
last congress labor requested the
speaker to appoint on the committee
Of labor members who from their eX-
perience, knowledge and sympathy
would render in this congress such
service as The committee was orig
inally designed to perform. Not only
was labor's request ignored but the
hostile makeup Of the committee was
accentuated.
Labor now appeals to you and we
trust that it may not be in vain. But
If, perchance, you may not heed us we
shall appeal to the conscience and the
support of our fellow citizens"

UNREST AMONG WoRkMEN.
Repressive Measures Of Russian Gov.
ernnnent the Cause.

st. Petersburg, March 22.-The
growing unrest and agitation among
the Russian workmen Is largely due
to the governments repressive meas
ures In the provinces and especially
to the threatening situation In the
Don and other regions. At Ekaterin'
oslav 10000 men of the Hughes iron
works are already reported to have
struck and at Moscow great agitation
prevails In the industrial sections
Undoubtedly the whole movement Is
connected with the demand OF the
Social Democrats and revolutionists
for another general political strike.
