PRESIDENT DISCUSSES GREW
ANcEs OF ORGANIZED WORK
ERs WITH LEADERS.
DIFFERS RADICALLY
ON SEVERAL POINTS
Says Eight Hour Law Is Not Suited
to Conditions in Tar s.na-Anti-In-
junction Law u aeld-Insists on
Courtesy to Chinese.

Washington, March 23.-2resident
Roosevelt disagreed emphatically on
several points Wednesday with Presi-
deI- Gompers, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and about 100 labor
leaders who visited him at the White
House to present a memorial setting
forth the legislation desired by organ
lied workers. The memorial asked the
enforcement of the eight-hour day on
the Panama canal and IN all depart
ments OF the government of the United
States. The president held that the
eight-hour law in Panama was not
suited to conditions, and as to the
United States, asked that specific in
stances of violations of the law be
brought to his notice.
Calls Anti-Injunction Bill Just.
The labor representatives opposed
the pending anti-injunction bill on the
ground that it did not 90 far enough.
President Roosevelt said he considered
the law just, but that it could be killed
easily enough, for capitalists who con-
sidered it too radical would be glad to
cooperate with labor in defeating it.
The government, he said, had had oc-
caslon, score of times, to invoke an
Injunction against combinations of
capital, and never once in his admin
istration, against combinations of la
bor but he added that he would not
hesitate to ask an injunction against
labor if he thought it necessary.
In regard to the Chinese exclusion
law, the memorial complained that,
Chinese were being allowed to enter
the country in spite of the law. The
president agreed that it would be well
to keep out Chinese coolies, but he in
sisted on more liberal treatment OF tle
better classes of Chinese, saying L,
considered them no menace to Amer
can labor.
The president agreed, in the main,
with labor's contention in .c@ard to
immigration, but he objes ted strongly
to the protest against the order forbid
| ding employees of the government from
petitioning congress for iesislatation of
any kind, saying the business is to
apply to the heads of departments.
To Present Views Later.
The delegation remained with the
president about three-quarters of al
hour and the subjects suggested were
considered informally after the ad-
dresses had been delivered. 1t was
agreed that on points of difference the
executive council OF the federation
should appoint committee of three,
which should draft the views of the Or
| ganization and submit them to the
| president at later date. 1t is likely
| that President Gompers will be the
| chairman of that committee

CHAPTER XVIII.
- IRAILEY was not the only man
~ in Rouen who had been say
F;TT5I ing to himself all day that
k20G9 each accustomed thing he did
was done for the last time. Many Of
Ills comrades went about with Fare
well, old FRIEND" in their hearts, not
only for the people, but for the usual
things of life and the actions Of habit,
now become unexpectedly dear and
sweet to know or to perform. So Tom
Vanrevel, relieved Of his hot uniform,
loose as to collar, wearing big dress
Ing gown and stretched in chair,
watched the sunset from the western
window Of the dusty Office. where he
had dreamed through many sunsets In
summers past, and now took his leave
Of this old habit of his in silence, with
long cigar, considering the chances
largely against his ever seeing the sun
go down behind the long wooden bridge
ut the foot Of Main street again.
The ruins Of the warehouses had been
removed, and the river was laid clear

banks like river Of rubies, and at
the wharf the small evening steam
boat, ugly and grim enough to behold
from near by, lay pink and lovely in
that broad glow, footing imminent de-
parture, although an hour might elapse
before it would back into the current.
The sun widened, chung briefly to
the horizon and dropped behind the
low hills beyond the bottom lands; the
stream grew purple, then took on a
luster of pearl as the stars came out,
while rosy distances changed to misty
blue; the chatter of the birds in the
Main street naples became quieter
and, through lessening little choruses
Of twlttering, fell gradually to silence.
And now the blue dusk crept on the
town, and the corner drug store win
dow lights threw notified colors on
the pavement. From the hall, outside
the closed Office door, came the sound
of quick, light footsteps. 1t was Graf

ley going out, but Tom only sighed to
himself and did not hail him. SO these
light footsteps of Crailey Gray echoed
but a moment in the stairway and
were heard no more.
A few moments later a tall figure,
wrapped from neck to heels in gray
cloak, rapidly crossed the mottled
lights and disappeared into Carewe
street. This cloaked person wore on his
head soldiers cap, and Tom. not rec
ognizing him surely. vaguely wondered
why Tappingham Marsh chose to muf-
fe himself so warmly on a June even
ing. He noted the quick, alert tread as
unlike Marsh's usual gait, but no sus-
picion crossed his mind that the figure
might be that of his partner.
A rocket went up from the Rouen
House, then another, followed by a
salvo of anyils and a rackety discharge
of small arms, the beginning Of a
noble display Of fireworks in celebra-
ton of the prospective victories Of the
United States and the utter discom-
future Of the Mexicans when the Rouen
volunteers should reach the seat Of
war, an exhibition of patriotism which
brought little pleasure to Mr. Vanrevel.
But over the noise Of the street he
heard his own name shouted from the
stairway, and almost instantly a vio-
lent knocking assailed the door. Be-
fore he could bid the visitor enter, the
door was flung open by stout and ex-
cited colored woman who, at sight of
him, threw up her hands in tremulous
thanksgiving. It was the vain Mamie.
She sank into a chair and rocked
herself to and fro, gasping to regain
her lost breath. "Bless de good God

WASHINGTON correspondents pre-
dict that a railway-rate bill along the
lines suggested by President Rouse.
welt will finally pass. The chief con.
tcntion at present seems to he as to
whether rate made by the inter-
state commerce commission should be
appealable To the courts. The best
lawyers in congress say that the right
of appeal 70 the courts cannot. under
the constitution, be taken from an
individual or corporation. Those
friendly to genuine reform in the mat
ter OF rates claim that, il the RAILWAYS
are allowed 70 appeal. they can keep
case Ia the courts as they often do at
present until the individual shipper
is tired out and withdraws from the
litigation. Senator Spooner. VI Wis
consin. has introduced an amendment
t the bill, which provides that, where
an appeal is taken, the railway corpo-
ration Shall deposit sufficient money

In the Matter Of Signatures.

Within the next few weeks there
will be numerous petitions under the
primary-election law in circulation in
Emmons county. When a candidate
is going around with his petition lie
will often be in doubt as to whether
he should ask some neighbor to sign
it. as said neighbor has been generally
classed with some other faction or
candidate. The best way to do is to
ask every member Of Your party that
you meet TO sign your petition-at
least, every member with whom YOU
are on speaking terms If a man re-
fuses to sign, it is probable that he
would. just the same. have felt a bit
hurt if you had neglected to present
it 10 him. Keep a list of those who
have refused to signfor you or who may
have signed for some one else for the
same Office, and hence cannot sign
your petition. so that you will not for
get and ask for signatures a second
time. But, in the name of the Great
Horn Spoon, don't feel hurt at any
one because he doesn't sign when you
ask him, even il lie hasn't signed for
some one else. a citizen may have
perfectly good reasons for not signing
reasons that in no way reflect on
your personality land he has right
to sign or not sign. If you get angry
because of the refusal you will soon
find that you sadly mistook your vo-
cation when you entered the political
field as candidate. Don't for a MIN
ute bear ill-will against any one who
does not feel like signing for you.
That 5 his right, and your right. and
every other citizens right. and you
have no reason To suppose that he
doesn't sign because he doesn't like
you. He may have very good reason
that you know nothing about for his

OF No Consequence.

Our contemporary down the street
would make it appear that the fate OF
the nation depends upon the city cleo
ton at Grand Forks. All there is to
1T is that a certain democratic gentle
man named Duis is running for mayor.
and a republican gentleman named
Dinnie is his opponent. AS usual, the
treacherous Grand Forks Herald has
gone back on the republican nominee
and. Joining with. the democratic

his sympathies are strongly expressed
