Machine Is Frightened.

The republican party managers shook
worse than old Mat used to make the
plum tree shake. They hastened to
nominate a state ticket made UP of the
very best men to be found in the whole
keystone commonwealth, headed bv
Edwin S. Stuart, of Philadel phia, who
some years ago acquired a national
reputation for the things he would not
let the gang do while he was mayor
of that city.
BIT in the meantime the storm,
which had been gathering for. years,
broke. The graft, the rotten elections,
the packed conventions, the plum tree
shaking, the bribery of all who could
be bribed, the looting of all that was
stealable. had eliminated in the capi-
tol scandal, and, in spite Of the fact
that the frightened party managers
had put thru some real and radical re-
forms at the last session of the 1egis-
lature, there was split in the repub-
ican ranks.
Some of the self-respecting republi-
cans of the state, outraged beyond fur
ther endurance, organized the Lincoln
republican party and nominated a
state ticket headed by Lewis Emery,
of Franklin, distinguished citizen
who had won wealth and fame by
fighting the Standard Oil company for
the past twenty-five years.

That ticket was indorsed by the
democratic state convention. and altho
the democrats adopted a platform de-
nouncing President Roosevelt as. a
weak imitation Of William j. Bryan,
the Lincoln republicans let it go at
that and are working in harmony with
the democrats in this campaign for the
destruction of the regular republican
party in the state.
And now these two wings of the peo-
Die of Pennsylvania are face to face
in the final stages Of the struggle for

Jurisdiction Scrap Between Car

to Be Settled.

Following the action taken at the
convention of the American Federation
Of Labor, William D. Huber, general
president Of the United Brotherhood
OF Carpenters and Joiners, has sent
the following circular letter to all 10
cal unions In the organizations:
Owing to the action Of the Amer
in Minneapolis relative to the contro-
versy between the United Brotherhood
and the Amalgamated Woodworkers'
International Union, as we'll as to the
controversy with the Brunswick Balke-
Collender company, I desire to state
that both organizations entered into
an agreemnt whereby hostilities are to
cease, and that the Amalgama1ed
Woodworkers' International Union
shall amalga1nate with the United
Brotherhood within two years from
Nov. 1, 1906.
There is to be no discrimination
made against members Of either Or
ganization by the employers; you are
to recognize each others cards, ard,
to make It more plain, I will say that
II any MEMBER or the united BrOther-
hood desires to work in any factory
or mill controlled by the Amalgamated
Woodworkers his card must be recog-
nized and vice versa. Both organiza-
tions are to respect all agreements
now in vogue with our employers until
their expiration.
"All trade agreements relative to
mills and factories Of either organiza-
tion that are to be made in the future
must not extend beyond Nov. l., 1908,
when amalgamation must take place
according to the agreement signed by
the delegates representing the United
Brotherhood and the delegate repre-
senting the Amalgamated Woodwork
ers.
You are therefore, authorized to
handle all goods OF the Brunswick
Bake Collender company as they have
agreed to make no discrimination be-
tween members Of the United Brother
hood and members of the Amalga-
mated Woodworkers."

members to vote with him for the

know all the speaker may have said
to the members, orswhat argument he
may have advanced, but many men,
bers who had intended to vote their
own sentiments ana thereby represent
the wishes of the constituents Of their
respective districts, were ordered about
and sent down the aisles almost
shamefacedly, to get in line and follow
their leader. In two instances Speaker
Cannon was seen HtO grab members

Of their seats in his effort to force
them to pass between the tellers and
defeat the educational test. The re-
suit of this disgraceful affair was that
when the vote was announced by
tellers, the substitute carried by a vote
Of 1913 to 116, a majority Of IL, thus
showing that out of the 1876 members
who on the first vote voted against
the substitute. 20 were either driven
between the tellers like dumb brutes
into car, or lacked sufficient moral
courage to walk down the line and
vote their convictions, when they eyes
Of their chief was upon them.
Thus closeth another page in Con-
gressional history.
This, together with the juggling
conspiracy against our Employers LA
bility bill in which Mr. Cannon took
prominent part, aand his action as
speaker in packing committees against
labor legislation, should deservedly
bring down upon him the condenna-
tion of the adEemploye Of his dis
trict. Whether he#will receive it re-
mains to be seen, fbut why any loyal
brotherhood man who knows Mr.. Cam

vote to re-elect him, thereby enabling

sCHM|7z OF FRISCO
IS VICTIM Of PLOT
Charged That Conspiracy Was
Hatched While Mayor Was
Visiting Europe.
Pardoned Convicts Used as Wit
nesses Against Him-Trial
Will Be Interesting.

Eugene Schmitz, a violinist by pro-
fession, twice elected mayor of San
Francisco on a Union Labor ticket,
over the combined Republican and
Democratic ticket, received an i'm
mense popular ovation on his return
home last wek.
Mayor Schmitz was on his way to
Europe to study the workings Of pub
licly owned municipal plants, when he
received a telegram on shipboard that
he was to be indicted for graft in con-
nection with q restaurant license
granted during his first term.
The charge was first made by a
French caterer. who afterward re-
tracted publicly. Two witnesses, both
convicts sent up by Schmitz for ballot
box stuffing, have been pardoned by
the governor in order to testify. The
judge before whom the case is to be
tried, narrowly escaped defeat lately
at the hands of the labor unions, be-
cause he was known as the handy
man of the corporations. The attor-
ueys for the prosecution are all paid
agents Of local monopoly interests, and
have boasted that their object was to
destroy the effect of labor unions in
California politics. They admit that
Schmitz has been the best mayor San
Francisco ever had. He handled hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars in dona-
tions during the earthquake with alb
solute fidelity and accuracy.
Yet he stands in the way Of the
utility corporations and their schemes
OF wholesale plunder Of the public. He
proposes to have the public do all of
Its own work instead Of letting the
contractors pocket great profits and
employ cheap As1atic labor. He wants
the city to run its own plants, and to
show to all the country what a load
Will be lifted from the backs of the
taxpayers when they run their own
businesses in their own interest.
Schmitz, the fiddler, as they deri-
sively call him, will make the preda-
tory corporations dance to a lively
tune. And for once, judging by the
size of his welcome, labor will stand
by him against these sneaking enemies
who dared not how their hands till
they deemed him out Of hearing and
sight Of their plotting.
