FOREIGNERS IN SYRIA
FEAR ROWING OUTLAWS
Americans Near SMYRNA Have An.
pealed Repeatedly to Their Con-
su1ate for Protection.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Brigand-
age is so common near Smyrna, Syria,
that Americans have appealed repeat
eddy to the American consulate there
for protection against brigands in the
Licorfce root fields and tobacco planta-
lions adjoining the city and the foreign
population is moving into the city from
suburbs because of the fear that the
brigandage which has been visited on
" upon Ottoman subjects so far will
be extended to the foreign popula-
ton.
The unsatisfactory conditions In
Smyrna was detailed in dispatch to
the state department from Ernest
Nagn1f1co. American vice consul to that
city. Outlawry is said to exist in Aid
In Vilayet, one Of the suburbs Of
Smyrna, to a greater degree than in
20 years. Within a few months pract-
ically all the wealthy Ottomans have
moved out Of the suburbs and the
English consul has posted a notice
that British subjects who go into the
interior do so at their peril.
Americans have been advised that
travel In the interior is unsafe

AUGUSTA REFUSED
CARNEGIE LIBRARY
Would Not Accept Question
ably Gotten Wealth of Big
Steel Magnate.
Holds that It Would Be g. Dis
grace to City to Accept i'll
Gotten Money.

Once In while the people OF a. COM
munity rise up and rebel against the
influence of the almighty dollar. Not
always and everywhere is the injunc-
ton of the brutal father, who said to
his son: Get money. honestly Of you
can, but get money!" accepted as lin
ing up with code of morals. Some
times we hear a portest against what
is called tainted money" but the pro-
test doesn't reach far. and we soon
again find the people worshiping the
golden calf. Several communities In
the United States have rejected the
offer Of a Carnegie Library because
the people remembered where and how
Carnegie got his millions. But hum
dreds Of other communities have ac-
cepted, and said nothing.
1t is proposed to erect a. public
library at Augusta, Ca, and to accept
Carnegie contribution with the usual
conditions. All the people Of Augusta
have not forgotten and for those who
remember the Augusta Herald speaks
In the following language:
Augusta does not need any of Car
negie's ill-gotten wealth to furnish
library. 1t would be a disgrace to the
city to accept gift of money that
rightfully! belong elsewhere"
To this the Augusta Labor Advocate
adds:
1.-THE government with It's high tariff
was not the only abettor to this mans
great wealth: he was guided by an
innate desire for more-that his COT
fers might be overlooking and In hts
doing so lost sight of his fellow beings
who were labortng to help him pile up
his millions, and turned a. deaf ear
to their pleadings for a living wage
to keep body and soul together and
when they were forced to strike for the
same, at Homestead, did he not hire
lot Of Pinkerton detectives from Chi
cago, Of the lowest type Of the human
race, to shoot down these striking men
who were asking for bread? Piling
up millions, but could not pay living
wage to the men who, by the sweat
OF their brow were creating this wealth
for him! On the shady side of life,
Carnegie refects-he sees the spectre
Of those murdered men at Homestead
which, like Banquo's ghost, win not
down at his b1dding-and livil.., hell
pervades his breast, and he now de-
sires to make reparation for his mis-
deeds my making donations for libra
ries with string tied to the same. If
he wants to make reparation for his
past conduct that Is preying upon his
mind, why not donate something to
the widows and orphans of those men
he caused to be murdered? No, ten
thousand noes; Augusta does not want
Carneg1e's blood money. Money
wrenched from the suffering poor Of
the land is not needed for a library
for Augusta"

CELLECE PREX THERE
WITH LOT OF ADA|SE
Don't Like Plan of American
Unions in Regulating All
Apprentices.
Theorist Has Queer 1deas-1t lis
the Veriest Rot-No
Basis to it.

New Haven, Aug. 23.-The American
boys right to be taught a trade In
school, instead of under the restrictions
of labor union, the members of which
are jealous of his advancement, was
asserted by President F. S. Luther
of Trinity college, Hartford, in to-day's
convention of the American institute
Of instruction. President Luther said
in part:
To-day there are few apprentices and
such as may still be found are learn
ing very little. The labor unions re-
strict the number of apprentices to
limits grotesquely below obvious needs.
The boys suffer from jealousy. i'll will
and incompetence of those who are
supposed to teach them and from the
greed of employers, who try to get q
mans work out of them for a boys
wages
1.-The situation Of a boy whose teach
whose employer wishes him to do the
impossible, is certainly lamentable.
Partly as a result of these things, the
standard Of excellence in workmanship
in this country is surely deteriorating.
The number of workmen who can do
good job Is growing smaller and
smaller. Manual skill, knowledge how
to do 1t and ability to do it, seem to
be vanishing factors in American So
ciety. Our best workmen are elderly
men or are imported from Europe.
THE amount of poor, mean, I'M
skilled d1sreputable work, now foisted
on the public and paid for by the
public is an indication of the worse
conditions, which may be expected un-
less some radical improvement be I'M
dertaken at once" declared Mr..
Luther
The above Is the veriest rot. Like
all such carnations there is no basis

MINNESOTA TO HAVE
BEST FAIR THIS YEAR
Will Be Most Significant One
This Year-Occasion of
Great Importance.
James J. Hill to Open Big State
Fair by Strong and Char
acteristic Talk.

The Minnesota State Fair Of 1906
now promises to be the most signif-
cant occasion in the history OF agr1-
culture in the northwest.
The great livestock ampitheater
on Monday Sept. g. the opening day
of the fair. stands for diversified agri-
culture interests in the northwest and
shows the Importance of the livestock
Industry as a factor in the agricultural
lie OF this region. It Is the finest
and largest livestock amph1theater Of
all the buildings in the country devoted
to Its uses. It means in a way that
Minnesota is going to be one of the
greatest livestock states in the union.
1t means too that the work Of the
Minnesota State Fair Of past years has
borne fruit-that the state is already
one OF the leaders In the breeding Of
fine stock.
The latter fact is emphasized too
In the sale Of shorthorn cattle during
the fair. A large proportion of the
animals to be offered for sale are from
Minnesota farms-and the others from
farms in Iowa, Wisconsin and the d.
kotas not far away.
James j. Hill, lifelong patron of
husbandry and especially Of livestock
breeding, is to make the address of
| dedication at II o'clock on Monday,
Opening day. Mr.. Hill Is always an
interesting speaker and on this occa-
sion Is likely to Guido himself as the
time and occasion will be of very great
personal interest to him.
Late reports from the fair grounds
show that the fair will be larger than
ever in all the matters Of exhibits,
animals, etc.
In the farm machinery division every
foot of space is taken-this means the
largest farm implement and machinery
exhibit ever made at any time or place.
The opening Of the new livestock
amphitheater naturally attracts large
showing Of animals. There will be
three great auction sales on purebred
stock. Swine will require extra room
although the great swine exhibition
building Is the largest in the world.
On the amusement side the fair will
be exceptionally strong. Programs be-
fore the grand stand will be given both
Afternoon and evening. high class
| racing being a prominent feature with
clean and novel vaudeville. spec1alties,
| balloon ascensions, etc., as prominent
features. A six days Ladies' Relay
Riding race will be one of the popular
events. Moscow" will be burned in
pyrotechnics each evening.
On Monday Dan Patch and Creceus
will go against their own worlds
records-an event Of intense an en-
| tirely unusual interest.

CASES AGAINST. IRON. :.
M0LDERS PETER OUT
St. Paul Striking Union Men
Protest Upon Being >Acquit-
ted Without g. Trial.
Strikers Charged With Assault
and Battery Discharged
Bosses Four Flush.

st. Paul, Aug. 23,-The assault and
battery charge against striking IRON
molders petered out in police court
today.
Emil Helnes, prosecuting attorney
secured the dismissal Of the cases, de-
claring that G. Bennett, the complain
Ing witness, now said he could not
identify the men arrested as his as
sailants. Mr.. Helmes was not in the
city when the complaint was issued.
Howard Wheeler, attorney for the
men. protested against the dismissal,
declaring they had been arrested and
submitted to the indignity of crimi-
nal charge. and should be given a
chance for vindication. He wanted to
examine the complaining witness and
find out who 1nstigated the prosecu-
lions. The court said that under the
law he could only grant the motion.
The men discharged were Victor st.
Martin. August Blackwell and M.
Wahlrose, charged with assault and
battery.
II. J. Mclaughlin attorney for Oliver
Crosby Of the Hoist & Derrick works,
was special counsel for the complain
ing witness and a few days ago in
open court declared that In all the
ironmolders strike cases he represented
Mr.. Crosby, and that Mr.. Crosby
would protect his employees, and that
every complaint which he was behind
would be pushed to a finish.
Jurors Are vexed.
Nevertheless the panel Of 20 jurors
that was summoned to try the Ben
nett case today had nothing to do,
for Mr.. Mclaughlin seemed to be in
on the dismissal and the jurors were
the sorest men In the court room for
they got no bills.
The warrant against the men was
secured August and was returned
August 8.
Mr.. Crosby's Attorney.
The case was then continued and
Bennett did not intimate then that
the right men were not arrested.
Bennett and the employers interests
had four witnesses In court today. But
none of them, according to the prose-
cutting attorney, could identify the men
arrested as Benefits assailants.
Indeed it. was probably as we'll for
Mr.. Bennett they did not testify for
they told the prosecuting attorney Mr..
Bennett had all the best of the fist1c
argument from which the arrest
sprung.
Mr.. Bennett is reported to be en-
ployed by Minneapolis foundry.

FREIGHT HANDLERS IN
STRUGGLE FOR RIGHTS
Conservative and Consistent De-
mand Made by Package
Freight Leaders.
Ask for Conference With Employ
ers, and are summarily and
Sternly Refused.

The freight handlers union of Du-
luth has again entered the struggle
for recognition. Three years ago a
merry industrial war was carried on
against the Knudsen- Eden interests
The same principle was involved and
the union lost. But the defeat was
only temporary.
This season the freight handlers
have been encouraged by the COM
plete organization Of the men engaged
In handling package freight in this
city. A conference with the employ
ers was asked. This was summarily
refused. Mayor Cullom was asked to
intervene for the purpose Of avoiding
a strike. Even the pleading OF the
Mayor was ignored. The employers
have set their teeth and pledged
themselves to have nothing to do with
a union.
They were willing to grant an in
creased wage-scale. But this was not
satisfactory to the union because it
may be reduced when labor conditions
are less favorable. The union desires
to avoid any future conflicts and is
ambitious to secure a contract which
will insure all interests against any
future strikes.
There the matter remains today.
Many efforts have been made to hire
new men, but with poor success. A
car load was brought from the Twin
cities Wednesday morning, but one
half of them Jumped the car when
they discovered that a strike was on
when landing in Duluth. The other
half quit work Thursday morning.
Wednesday morning another crew
was shipped from Minneapolis. An
emissary from the union boarded the
train along the route, and when Du-
luth was reached every one Of them
refused to go to work.
The officials Of the N. p. railway
made an effort to bluff the men by
locking the car doors. Guards were
placed in command. but as Duluth
Is in Minnesota, and not in Colorado
their bluff was called.

SHERIFF CONTEST IS
BONE Of CONTENTION
Union Labor Political Committee
Will Have Big Scrap on
Tonight.
Union Labor Divided on Attitude
to Be Assumed in Contest
For Sheriff.

The daily papers have this week
contained a lot of rot about the pro-
posed endorsement of the candidacy
Of John T. Armstead for sheriff of
this county on the Republican ticket.
So far as we can learn no strong
effort has yet been made to give Mr..
Armstead the combined support of
union labor.
1t is true that when Mr.. Armstead
settled with good grace his troubles
with union labor he was solicited by
the union labor political committee
to again enter the race for sheriff. He
was beaten on previous occasions
through the influence Of union labor,
and the members Of the political COM
mittee in their enthusiasm over the
settlement Of the long contested Acme
laundry boycott, thought that as they
had defeated Mr.. Armstead while he
was unfair to union labor it would be
a good plan to show him what they
could do for him as a friend.
The encouragement Mr.. Armstead
received from this conference induced
him to again enter the race for sheriff,
but when the time came to deliver
the goods from the Assembly regular
"Donnybrook' rumpus was created
The publicity given the matter by
the press in an unofficial manner has
brought out both the friends and en-
emies in the labor movement of Mr.
Armstead. At tonight's meeting o.
Duluth's central body the matter will
be brought to final conclusion.
1t is our private opinion that some
one has stepped on a live wire. Union
labor IS dandy knocker, but usually
poor booster. We would advise
those implicated to get out of the
trouble as quickly as possible. The
movement cannot be placed in jeo-
pardy to satisfy the personal ambi-
ton of single soul. Away from the
sheriff and take interest in all legisla-
tive contests. That Is the program
of union labor.
