answer to the criticisms directed against
him is that he made contracts with the
great steel plants insuring tonnage suf-
ficient for the Wabash to repair the ex-
penditure in a remarkably short time.
The Pennsylvania railroad had fits
abiding place in Pittsburg for years. and
fought with all its vast power the ad-
vance of the wabash.
Perhaps the happiest day in the life OF
Joseph Ramsey was when his car crossed
over the bridge to the forbidden city,

At this time Mr. Gould said. looking

a. F. OF |. CALLS ON UNION LABOR TO RALLY At POLLS

Washington, July 23.-A call to arms
against the further enactment of OBJ
noxious legislation and for the election
of legislators who will pass laws in
the interest of American toilers has
been sounded by the executive coun-
Gil of the American Federation of La
Dor. The ballot is to be the weapon,
and the soldiers the members and
friends of trades unions.
Circular Sent Out.
The appeal is contained in a circular
giving the American Federation of La
Dor campaign program, which is to be
distributed broadcast through the
country among workingmen and their
sympathizers. The executive council
recommends that central labor bodies
and local unions take prompt action in
electing delegates to meet in conven-
tion for the purpose of furthering the
interests of the movement and nom
mating candidates who will use their
influence to secure the enactment OF
laws beneficial to organized labor. De-
feat of candidates who have been hos

Resolved, That the American Fed
Grafton of Labor most firmly and un-
equivocalIy favors the Independent use
of the ballot by trade unionists and
wor1men, united regardless of party.
that we may elect men from our own
ranks to make laws and administer
them along the lines laid down in the
legislative demands of the American
Federation of Labor, and at the same
time secure an impartial judiciary that
will not govern us by arbitrary injunc-
tons of the courts, nor act as the pli-
ant tools of corporate wealth.
Resolved. That as our efforts are
centered against all forms of industrial
slavery and economic wrong, we must
also direct our utmost energies to re-
move all forms of political servitude
and party slavery, TO the end that the
working people may act as unit at
the polls at every election"

tile or Indifferent to the demands of
wage earners is the cardinal principle
set forth. Following this, trades union
lists and their supporters are urged to
support all congressman and state leg
islators who have shown that their
sympathies are with the laboring
classes.
Straight Labor Candidates.
Whenever both parties ignore de-
mands for laws intended to benefit the
condition of workingmen the executive
council recommends that straight
labor candidate" be nominated. A
warning is sounded to keep the move
ment free from partisanship and to pre-
venting it from degenerating into a
scramble for Office.
At the outset the members of the
council point to rapidly changing
events in the industrial field and de-
clare that labor must be ever alert to
meet new conditions. The price of in
dustrial as well as political liberty,
they say. is eternal vigilance The fol

SHOWN IN SERIES OF LETTERS
Mrs. Holman, Mother of Evelyn Mes
bit, Asked White to Redeem
Her Daughter.

New York, July 23.-The World
says: The motive for the murder of
Stanford White is indicated in a series
of letters written by Mrs. c. J. Hol-
man, mother of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, to White, and after the latter
death found among his effects. In
these letters Mrs. Nesbit-Holman COM
plains bitterly of the conduct of Thaw
toward her daughter, now his wife, and
implores White to do all in his power
to bring her back 10 her mothers con-
troll. Mrs. Holman refers to Thaw as
a scoundrel. villain, and man with
murderous intent in his heart She
tells of an interview she had with
Thaw while they were in Paris, and
declares Thaw wanted her (Mrs. Hol-
mani to sign an affidavit to the effect
that Thaw had never intended to make
Evelyn his wife
Thaw Sought Revenge.
1t appears that Thaw became aware
of the fact that White had been ap-
pealed to by Mrs. Nesbit. now Mrs
Holman, and that the architect knew
of the quarrels between Thaw and his
present wife; also that Evelyn had
told her stepfather she was not mar
ried to Thaw at the time they arrived
from Europe and were driven out of
the Hotel Cumberland
Thaw at that time had given a state
ment, which was afterwards corrobora-
ted from Pittsburg. that he and Evelyn
had been married while in Europe.
Thaw knew White was the only per
son not of his family who knew this
statement was false, and that Thaw
did not marry his present wife until

no rioting on a big scale, with the eX

Repression Begun.
From every direction comes reports
that an era of repression has been i'll
augurated, including the confiscation
OF radical newspapers and wholesale
arrests of political and revolutionary
suspects. There is every indication
the most serious outbreaks will occur
in the cities of southern Russia and
that rising of peasants will begin in

stricken central provinces. The signal
for a general strike, however, has not
yet been given.

which was promulgated early yesterday

immediate issue.
Even should the government, how
ever, succeed in restraining an out
