sIyTY.THBEE LABOR ORGANIZE.
MET IN CHICAGO, SUNDAY.

Committed to Secure Justice to La

and National Affairs-Good Reasons
Are Given

Sixty-three labor organizations and

last Sunday and launched new poll

Marty committed to certain principles
IN notifies that are counted upon to
secure justice to labor and the middle
classes in the administration of mum
icipal. state and national affairs.
The local branch is called the Chi
cago Progressive Alliance" 1t is to
he the forerunner of the National Pro
oressiye Alliance" 1t indorses gov
eminent ownership of railways and
telegraph systems and municipal own
ership of street cars lighting and wa
ter plants, and other public utilities.
It declares for holidays to laboring
men on primary and election days and
for the initiative and referendum in
legislation and for recall of men elect
ed to public office when they betray
the interests of their constituents.
Each candidate before accepting a
nomination is required to sign pledge
that he will honestly make the con-
test and effect an alliance with no
other parties or persons.
Some of the reasons cited why the
new party is needed at this time, are:
Insurance scandals, beef trust invest
CATION, railroad rebate scandals, which
involved a member of the presidents
cabinet; judicial servility in issuance
of injunctions in labor disputes, APP
preparation of public interests by pub
lie officials, false assessment of large
estate involving millions Of dollars,
letting of public contracts by manipu
lation and fraud to turn cash into
pockets of political bosses.
1t was an odd coincidence that while
passing through the city today former
Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota,
who was member of the platform
committee of the last national Demo
cratic party, said a third party stand
ing for government ownership and for
referendum would in all probability
come into being and carry the day
against both republican and demo
cratic parties at the next annual cleo
ton. Government ownership of rail
roads, he declared, is the crying need
of the hour.

SANDY SIMS PAL.

NI\D HEN he came to Cripple Creek
WNW his name wasn't Sandy He
was Richard Morton Sims,
from Scranton Pa, then. But before
he had been on the backbone of the con
tinent two weeks his name was Sandy.
And Sandy he remained to the end of
his life-and, without doubt, that is
the name which would have been put
on his headstone If he had had one,
which he hadn't. for they buried him
out on the plains, with no decorations
save Il sprig or two of sagebrush.
However, all that has nothing to do
with the story. which is all about his
pal and one or two others-or, more
correctly speaking. one other; because

Sandy In passing, because he was the
man who put the Idea into his pals
head. And a man who can put a good
thought into anybody's head ought to
be remembered even If he Is dead.
1t had been a hard year for Sandy.

considered big find. He said nothing

She looked at that distance, with her

sweet, slender maiden gathering flow

MR.. WEST Is AROUSED
DEFENDS METHOD OF AWARDING
LOCAL CONTRACTS.

So aroused was ommissioner West by
the criticism of the Commissioners action
in awarding contracts for District work
to out-oftown firms, made by members
OF the Jobbers and Shippers Association
at a meeting held last week, that he has
made a personal investigation of certain
statements relating to the purchase of
District supplies, and stated yesterday
that he was glad to find that one incl
dent which was commented upon hap
pened ten years ago.
This case, according to Mr. West, was
reported by Mr.. f. P. May, chairman of
the committee on manufactures, who said
that when he was one of the District
contractors several hours delay was ex-
perienced by a street gang because picks
were furnished by one contractor and
handles for picks by another. The rec
ord, says the Commissioner, shows that
in 1896 Mr.. May had the contract for
picks and o. T. Carter Of this city the
contract for pick handles, which was the
last date that Mr.. May furnished the ar
ticles to the District. AS to the system
of separating the bids for picks and ham
dies, it is explained that the number OF
handles Used is very much greater than
the number Of picks. inasmuch as han
dies were frequently broken or become
otherwise unserviceable. while the picks
remain available for use.
IF we bought picks and handles to-
gether," said Commissioner West "and
threw away the pick every time a ham
die became useless, we would waste a
good deal of money. Under the present
system tools needed by street gangs are
kept at the property yards and can be
obtained within thirty minutes after
proper requisition is made therefor.
Regarding the award of a contract for
certain plumbing fixtures to a firm out
side of the city, the record shows that
the firm was the lowest bidder and that
it was responsible Inasmuch its bid
was thoroughly formal and could not,
therefore, be rejected. the contract was
awarded to the firm on the recommended
ton of the superintendent of the water
department"
