Of Murphy.
Murphy is an Irishman and his Irish
blood is Up This morning a large
number OF Emerald Isle descendants,
including the Catholic clergy. made

ton for truth and veracity. The use
of the words 'lOcoed" and "half-baked"

and when the prosecution offered to
strike them out Fairall refused TO ac-

Washington Harvest Hands Are Pre-
vented From Combining.

SPOKANE, Aug. 4.-Harvest hands
trying to form a union at Pullman,
Wash. were driven out of town by
Deputy Marshal Russell. The organiz-
ers, who had money and showed cards
from some union, started a campaign
among the workers to get them to
form an association that would hold
up the scale OF pay to 81 and SIS a
day The harvest hands have been
drawing $3.50 for q sun-to-sun day.
The farmers were infuriated at the
attempt at Organization, especially
since it has been almost impossible to
get enough hands to harvest the
bounteous crops Deputy Marshal Rus
sell told the organizers that they had
to go to bed and the next day he or
dered them out of town, regardless OF
the fact that they had money. They
went.

Reports from Indianapolis as to the
referendum vote of the United Brother
hood Of Carpenters aud Joiners on the
two plans Of amalgamation of the

II the society votes against the plan
proposed by the Brotherhood other ac-
tion Will be necessary. 1t is said that
the English members of the society are

Brotherhood. The members of the two
organizations do identically the same
kind of work and the matter of ANAL

An organizer of the Boot and Shoe
Workers International Union has a
unique scheme for advertising the
union label. He is now in the Western
part OF this country and is blazing a
route for a show which will consist of
a series OF stereopticon views, mono
logues, comic and sentimental songs
and athletic feats by a noted trapeze
performer. 1t is the intention to visit
all the smaller cities throughout the
Middle West for the purpose of in
teresting womankind in buying union
made articles. He claims that there
are now something like 400 factories in
the country using the union stamp in
the manufacture of mems and boys
shoes. but that womens shoes with the
union stamp on them are scarce. In
speaking OF this novel scheme the or
ganizer said the other day in Chicago:
We can reach the men at their union
meetings, but they do not seem to tell
their wives and sisters much about the
union labels. We propose to reach the
women direct Our entertainIn ents
will. Of course. be free, which should
prove a drawing card with the fair sex.
We shall visit only such cities as de-
pend for amusement on 8 Semi-annual
visit of Uncle Toms Cabin" and like
plays, and we will bill the town In ad-
vance and expect TO get good results.
We will have an entertaining lecturer
who will explain the various labels as
they are thrown on the canvas, and by
way of contrast we Will show convicts
at work in the various State peniten-
thousands OF women who would pat
ronize free union labor II their atten-
ton was properly called TO the matter.
The entire preliminary expenses win be
borne by the Boot and Shoe Workers
International Union, although some OF
the O. sr unions interested may join
with US later. If we can get the wo-
men interested in the purchase of union
tories organized. II is all a question of
demand. II women call for shoes with
the union stamp the dealers will D go
cure them, as the manufacturers will
readily allow their shops to be organ
lied rather than lose orders. We are
neither going to advertise the product
OF any manufacturer nor condemn the
product of another, but simply going to
ask that purchasers look for the union
stamp. / believe the innovation will
prove a success.

MOTOR CAR LEGISLATION.

The chief provisions of the new automobile
law in New Jersey appear to be such as are
approved and desired by the owners and drivers
of motor cars and such as commend themselves
to general common sense. Note, for example,
the clause forbidding children of tender years
to run machines on public highways 1t must
be apparent TO all thoughtful minds that the
average boy or girl under sixteen years of age Is
not fitted, in Judgment or in physical strength,
to be intrusted with the management OF so pow
erful an engine We have always regarded it as
an abuse which should be abated by law, for
tradesmen to send their delivery wagons
through the streets in charge of knickerbockered
infants scarcely yet in their teens. Such chill
dren cannot properly control even crippled
horse. They certainly should not be permitted
TO try their puny prentice hands on 4Ohorse-
power engines.
Again it is provided that no one shall drive
a motor car without the consent of the owner.
That, we believe, is something which AUTOMOBILE
lists have long desired and which they will
heartily approve Many of the worst auto
mobile accidents in and about this city have oc-
Cured when chauffeurs with parties of royster-
ing friends were surreptitiously using the cars
without the knowledge or consent of their en-
ployers To have such conduct made penal
offence will be for the interest of the owners of
cars, as well as of the general public. Nor do
we think rational and humane automobllsts
will object to the requirement that in case OF
accident the driver of the motor car shall stop,
return to the scene of disaster and make known
his identity The half criminal and wholly III
human practice of hurrying away and leaving
the victims OF disaster to shift for themselves,
in which some "scorchers" have indulged has
perhaps aroused more popular indignation than
anything else in the whole business. 1t has
justly been condemned in unsparing terms by
respectable and responsible autOmobilists 1t is
properly to be made penal offence.
The prescriptions of speed may be criticised.
and We are inclined to think many drivers of
motor cars will not regard them as sufficiently
liberal. Yet twenty miles an hour, or mile in
three minutes is not depressingly slow for pleas
ure driving, excepting to those few who crave
the abnormal exhilaration of excessive speed and
who should be compelled to crafty their pas
sion elsewhere than on a public thoroughfare
Nor will it be regarded as hardship TO be re-
Qured to slow down to twelve or even to nine
miles an hour at crowded crossings and at
sharp curves and corners. On the whole the
measure seems to have been drafted in spirit
of fair recognition of the unique value of the
motor car and with n desire to provide for its
utilization and enjoyment 10 the fullest extent
compatible with the general public welfare.

MORE CONDESCENSION.

One other feature of this Gorky business
seems to call for word Of comment pelorc
the whole unsavory and somewhat uiesoi,i0
episode is dismissed from attenuon' haLhe!'
Mr. Gorky's gratuitous and offensive lnsiiiu.'-
tion that America is a mere puppet in the hands
Of the Russian government. Ihat Is Ieci

= NOT that Mr.. Gorky's repetition OF IL Is Ine
c,,lmination of a considerable series OF such
offences in the last few years.
To co no further back than the late South
,friooy war if will be recalled that every
American public man or newspaper that eA-
nressed the slightest sympathy with the BRUSH
side was intemperately accused in one quarter
or another of having been "brbed Win brillsh
gold" When sympathy was expressed with the
Darsacuted Jews of Russia there were intma-
tions that Americans had been influenced by the
wealth of Jewish money kings. Only a few
davs ago a number of presumably intelligent
Hrngarians in this city publicly charged the
hest part of the American press with having
hired itself to the Austrian government Other
like instances might be cited. And now comes
Mr.. Gorky and gravely declares that when
Americans object to recognizing and receiving
as his wife the female companion who appar-
emily is not his wife their conduct is dirt and
is "conspired by the friends of the Russian
government"
1t ought TO be manifest TO any alien propa-
gandist who thus vents hi; disappointment in
such snarl that he is stultifying himself in
doing so. If he really believes America to be
supinely subject to foreign influences, he is
a fool for wasting his time in an appeal to so
weak and contemplate a country. But it is
high time for all 10 understand that the United
States has arrived at years of discretion and
responsibility, and is quite capable of forming
its own judgments and of acting upon them.
whether it be the Seventh Commandment or
any other that is in question. When prOpa-
gandist like Mr. GOrky comes hither with ro-
seate hopes it is doubtless disappointing to him
and to his American exploiters to find his pc
culiar morals regarded with disfavOr and his
mission falling fiat. But TO complain in such
circumstances that he is the victim of some
great international conspiracy. and that Ameri-
cans are rejecting him at the mandate of the
Gar is simply TO write himself down an of

midway on the bridge, traffic was suspended, and
thousands of people were compelled to walk
across the brdge-after having paid their fares
for transportation. Testimony as to the length
of the tie-up varies. But suppose II was only fif-
teen minutes as officials of the company are re-
ported to say. Ought the disabling of an empty
or nearly empty trolley car cause fifteen min
utes', or even a five minutes, blockade? Is ther"
not some way of having such car pushed aioh
by the one behind it until the end OF th, bridge
is reached and it can be shunted upon d ;iS
for repairs? A few evenings ago there " IS Il
collision between two elevated railroad cars on
the bridge, which caused only slight damage, yet
there was a suspension of traffic for several
hours. 1t would certainly seem possible TO get
couple of damaged cars out OF the way ana re-
sumo full! traffic in less time than that.
Considering that these accidents occur almost
invariably in rush hours and cause incalculable
inconvenience and much pecuniary loss TO the
public it would seem incumbent upon the traffic
managers of the roads to take exceptional pains
to prevent them, and in addition TO keep con-
stantly at hand at each end of the bridge, COM
