/! SAYS LABOR UNIONS
ADVANCED RELIGION
So Declares Carroll D. Wright in First
of His Lectures on Sub
ject of Labor.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. lit is
not impossible that much of the good
which Christ accomplished was effect
ed through labor organizations. Such
organizations, IL is known. existed In
His time. and il is known that Christ
did much of His work among them.
Just what influence they had upon
the cause of Christianity can never be
told. but that they did exercise such
an influence is certain"
Thus spoke Carroll d. Wright, ex-
Commissioner of Labor, in the first Of
a course of labor lectures IN Holy
Trinity Parish House, Twentieth street,
near Walnut, last evening.
His subject was The Battles Of La
Dor" and he showed that labor trou-
bles and labor wars have existed since
the beginning of time He said:
The first great labor war. indeed the
greatest of all labor wars. was the
war between Egyptians and the He
brews. The exodus which resulted from
this, although IL involved certain re-
ligiOus questions, was the result of a
clearly defined labor strike. based on
economic and social conditions. The
Egyptians said. Let them go and get
straw for themselves. len they
tried TO get a corner on straw,
Similar labor wars were waged in
the time of the Greeks and the Rom
ans. The bloody slave instructions
were the direct result OF labor difn-
culties and Spartacus himself, although
a gladiator, fought for the cause Of
labor
The bTutalities existing them. how
ever. though they take a different form.
are the same as those which exist now
between the capitalist and the labor
er But the evolution has been and is
sure. An age Is coming which cannot
be compared 10 any other.
THE golden age" Mr.. Wright con-
cluded, is IN the future and not in
the past"

which he permits is I'm the costumes,

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. u.--With
tears streaming down his face and his
voice broken with emotion, Henry +.
Peters. of West Dover, appealed TO the
mayor of Denver, Robert W. Speer, and
the city attorney. II. A. Lindsey, in the
office OF Director Cooley in the city
hall yesterday afternoon to secure the
pardon of his son. Charles o Peters,
who, with two other men. was sentenced
to be hanged for murder two years ago
The two companions of Peters paid
the penalty of their crime upon the gal

became "A maniac. He is now confined
in the Colorado State penitentiary, the
physicians declaring that he is hopeless
ly insane.
"Save Ny Son."
Please save my son and send him
back TO me-" pleaded the old man. as
he wiped away the tears which flowed
down his checks. He was always
good boy and 1 don't believe ne did

him and let him come back to Ohio
where We can see him. Please save

mineral bearing ores as from time

pectors have brought in rich speci-

and in secret way has prospects,!
to his satisfaction. Most of such pr =
pectors have left hurriediy as the
Indians have kept the reservation
patrolled and the white brother has
not been welcome. but with the pros
pect of the opening of the denied
ground many are camping close to
the trail and the secrets of the big
district will be given to the world be,
for the summers sun has closed.
Probably one reason that the ground
has the greatest enchantment is the
fact that the white man IS told he
cannot go there. To the average nan
that is a challenge and this has lead
to many exaggerations of the wealth
Of the district. 1t is possible and more
