In his interest the campaign committee
is sending out many thousands OF union
label post cards bearing "A good half-tone
picture of the congressman, under which
is the inscription, For IL years city
treasurer and two years mayor Of Provi-
dence." and the following appeal to the
voters:
Tried I'm many positions. he has always
been found faithful TO his trust lnde-
pendent and fearless, no man controls
him. His two terms I'm congress have

UNION LABOR WINS
AND LOSSES BY A
COURT DECISION

Beston, Oct 1s - Trades unionism
scored and lost a point by a labor de-
cislon yesterday by the fun bench OF the
Massachusetts supreme court The de-
cision which was In the case of w III.

and Protective unions. Nos. 3 and 81 and
Stone Masons' union, No. O. holds lawful
as Justifable competition strike de-
clared because certain work relating TO
thelr trade IL given to other workmen
against the wishes of the strikers.
The court held however that the
unioniSts have no right 10 impose sym
pathetic strike upon their employer with
whom they have no trade dispute to COM
pei him 10 join with them In a boycott Of
the party who engages their Immediate
employer because that party hired special
workmen to do work which they them
selves sought TO do
The defendant unions ordered a strike
of men employed by a contractor because
That contractor was doing work on a
building where -unionists were en-
gagged. This sympathetic strike the court
holds, was not warranted. and for that
reason the injunction restraining the de-
PENDANTS from combining against the en-
ployer was allowed 10 stand by the SUI
preme court. The court saws:

no longer n place for the spread OF con-

CUBAN STORM
BREAKS CABLE
COMMUNICATION

New York. oct. B.-Cable communica-
don with Havana, which was interrupt
ed late last night, had not been restored
at an early hour today. The break was
undoubtedly caused by a severe storm

described by the Havana operator just
before communication was lost as having
reached cyclonic proportions
Press dispatches received early last
night stated that a hurricane with rain
prevailed in the Cuban capital, and that
the United States troops I'm Camp Colum-
bis were much disconnected. Later the
Havana operator told the storm west had
increased In fury, and that the storm was
levelling the inland wires leading from

up 10 o'clock this morning the wire con-
nection had not been restored.

that q heavy rain and Wind storm had
reached the Florida coast.

DR. John c. Budhvng, alderman from the
Fourth ward. this afternoon, declined TO
accept the tender OF the nomination for
mayor and thereby Joined the long line
OF Republicans. who, one after another
have refused 10 take a nomination that
Is going begging because every observant
Republican knows that only certain de-
feat awaits the man who has suflclent
hardihood TO accept II.
The difficulty encountered In this city in
obtaining the consent OF any Republican n
who might have chance OF being elected
mayor 10 allow his name TO be used for
the office Is but a manifestation OF the
popular dlstrust OF the Brayton machine.
and the recognition by observing Repub-
licans that defeat stares them in the
face.
The fact that the nomination was
practically rendered TO DR.. John G. Bud
long OF the Fourth ward by such stall
wart machine men as High Sheriff Hunter
G. White and Colonel Frank w. Ttlling-
hast chairman OF the executive commit
tee OF the Republican state central COM
mittee. is also regarded as significant OF
the desperation of the Brayton machine.
The idea OF the state organization dip
ping into Providence politics 10 the extent
OF debating the nominations here is re-
pugnant TO everybody except those OF
the Brayton machine followers who have
Nntlr noses so deep Durleu IN une state
trc ugh by grace OF the Boss that they
are willingly blind and dumb to what is

The Democracy and it's Independent
friends throughout the state are gathering
increasing courage from daily as the cam
paign progresses: and the belief grows In
reform circles that this is a year in which
the Brayton machine Republicans must
take to their cyclone cellars or be swept
away by the fast rising tide OF popular
Indignation that is spreading 20 such an
extent that Il Is difficult TO get Republ-
cans of prominence TO accept nemina-
ticns.
