Prohibiting Right of Petition.

Recently the President issued an order
forbidding any and all government en-
ployes upon the pain Of instant dismissal
from the government service. to petition
Congress for any redress of grievances or
for any Improvement in their conoitloh'
Thus the constitutional right of citizens to
petition must be surrendered by the govern
ment employe In order that he may OBTAIN
or retain his employment.
I'VE present these grievances TO your at
tention because we have long. patiently
and in vain waited for redress. There Is
not any matter of which we have COM
planned, but for which we have in an nom
orable and lawful manner submitted rem
eGies The remedies for these grievances
proposed by labor are in line with funda-
mental law, and with the progress and de-
velopment made necessary by changed IN
dustrial conditions.
Labor brings these it's grievances. to
your attention, because you are the repre-
sentatives responsible for legislation ana
FOR failure of legislation. The to'ieIs come
to YOU as Your fellow citizens. who. by rea-
son of their position in life, have not oniy
with all other citizens an equal interest III
or country but the further interest of be-
ing the burden bearers, the wage carriers
of America.
las labor's representatives we ask you to
redress these grievances, for it is III your
power so TO do.
Labor now appeals to you, and we trust
that it may not be in vain. But II per
chance you may not heed us. we shall ap-
peal to the conscience and the support or
fellow citizens.

Alleged Parsimony of Corporations.

stress they are cut loose 10 drift or sink

Labor of Convicts.


While recognizing the necessity for the
employment of inmates of our penal insu-
tutions, so that they may be self-support-
ing labor has urged in vain the enact
ment of law that shall safeguard 1t from
the competition of the labor of convicts.
In the interest of all of our people, and
in consonance with their almost general de-
n.and. we have urged Congress for some
tangible relief from the constantly grow
ing evil OF induced and undesirable imm!-
grafton, but without result.
'Recognizing the danger of Chinese i'm
migration. and responsive to the demands
of the people. Congress years ago enacted
an effective Chinese exclusion law; yet de-
spite the experience OF the people of our
own country, as well as those of other
countries, the present law is fiagrantly vio-
lated. and 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 endure involun-
tary serVitude, has been seriously threat
ened at each succeeding Congress The
petitions to secure for the seamen equal

Mr.. Cannon Resents Charge.

memorial to Speaker Cannon the latter
made a speech. in which he resented the
charge of unfairness against the House
committee labor.
at is impossible for committee not to
have many men of many ideas in its make
up said the Speaker. Il select the COM
mittees with all fairness. 1t is impossible
for a caucus to select them as that would
consume Il whole session. In your annual
meeting YOU doubtless find a great variety
of opinion. If you don't have lot OF
damns, / miss my guess. No TWO men have
the same IDEAS
President Gompers replied to this state
ment by praising Representative Gardner
of New Jersey the chairman of the House
committee on labor, stating, however, that
the other members of the committee. espe-
cially the ajority members, have not, in
the opinion of labor interests, shown or
binary intelligence in their treatment OF
matters affecting labor. 1.-THE general pol
icy of Congress has been to ignore the re-
quests of labor, President Gompers con-
Guided
Speaker Cannon replied that he did not
think such a criticism just. He also en-
Joined labor organizations TO consider that
they have as great a responsibility resting
on them as has Congress. He urged that
each member of such an organization should

non. He congratulated the delegation on
its representative character. and urged that
the members should remember that all men
should be at liberty to join their o yaniza-
tons and that all at present members
should be at liberty not to continue their
membership. He expressed his sympathy
with the desire of organized labor for bet

an architect ut is, indeed, easier to

with tapestries spread there, many of
the echoes of the old world buildings

tasks are hard. Today an architect

Why the Devil Hns Glover Hoofs.
Legends of the devil are quite COM
mon in Ireland, but the one which is
most interesting and least known per-
haps is that which tells why the prince
of the internal regions has split hoofs,
like those of COW beast. Moore al
ludes to the legend in his story Of St
Kelvin and Kathleen at Glendalough.
In that story Moore makes st. Kelvin
throw his former ladylove over the
cliff in order to be rid of her importu-
mites, but the peasants Of the Glenda-
Tough district give the story more po-
etical touch. They insist that it was
not Kathleen that was thrown over
the cliff, but that it was Satan. who
had assumed the form of the lady in
order to tempt the saint. The moment
the prince of evil toppled over the edge
of the yawning abyss he spread his bat
like wings and sailed away in safety,
much to the surprise of the holy saint.
Later on the devil again attempted to
lay snare for st. Kelvin, but the saint
managed to get the arch fiend on holy
ground, where, of course, he was help

FlOgHing.


Flogging, in public and otherwise, is
not of medieval origin. In the middle
ages ridicule and not physical suffering
was the means employed for the cor
rection Of wrongdoing; hence the pill
lory, the stocks and the thewe-a chair
suspended high over the heads of the
crowd, in which women, generally
scolds, were brought to sweet rea-
sonableness-but the whipping post be-
longs to the Tudor age. The Eliza
bethan servant question was met by
flogging girls for idleness on Sunday
morning. But it was in the Hanove-
rian period that f1ogging was carried
to excess. AS late as 1904 six women
were publicly tiogged in Gloucester,
England, because they had been found
begging.
