.UN|ONMOLOERS
ALL WORKING

Notwithstanding the fact that
the Union Iron works locked out
the iron molders employed by that
concern May /, the union is still
doing business at the old stand.
The Union Iron works is a mem
Der of the big combine of iron
works on the coast. The reason for
the lockout was that the unions
were asking an hour day.
While the union men are still
out at the big local works they are
working in all the other shops, in
GLIDING the National Iron works,
which concern opposed the union
for number of years.
A member of the union said to-
day that the National Iron works
had refused to formally recognize
the union, but that the company
was paying union wages and en-
ploying union men throughout it's
foundry, which was all that was
necessary
The molders complain at the
treatment they have received from
the local unions and particularly
the building trades. They say they
are the only union in the city that
has been unable to secure support
when involved in trouble. Their
union is so years old in this coun-
try and they say that there Is moth
ing in their past history which
would justify any union in refusing
to extend them helping hand, but
that in this city the building trades
have steadfastly refused to aid
them in any way, and although ap-
pealed to time and time again con-
tinue to use iron building material
which is turned out by nonunion
labor and by concerns known to be
unfair to the molders.
A member of the union said to-
day it was not likely. the union
would participate in the Labor day
parade, as they would refuse to
march with the members of the
unions comprising the building
trades as long as they continued to
treat the molders with Indifference.
They say the building trades
could bring about settlement of
any local trouble by merely exert.
ing their influence, in which case

DEAD BABE MAY
MEAN DOUBLE
TRAGEDY
POLICE SUSPECT THAT MOTH.
Err LEAPED INTO RIVER
WITH HER INFANT AFTER
STEM NC ROCKS IN
CLOTHING TO MAKE DEATH
CERTAIN.

As the result of the discovery of
the corpse of a drowned babe in
the river late Saturday afternoon,
the police would not be surprised
to also find the corpse of its moth
er. Circumstances surrounding the
tragedy point to the possibility of
mother in desperation leaping
into the water with her child, both
being weighted down with rocks.
The child was about a month old.
Its body was pulled out Of the
river at the east end of Havermale
island by an Austrian who, while
gathering wood from the river,
saw the dead face in the water.
Investigation by Coroner Witter
and the police have given no clew
to the identity of the murderer or
the mother. The child was large
for it's age and dressed The dress
was tied at the bottom so as to
hold the rocks which had weighed
it down.
The theory is that the babe was
thrown or carried into the water
either at the Division st. bridge or
above. The body had been In the
water about week, it Is presumed,
but only exposed about day The
tender flesh of the face was burned
black by the rays of the hot sun.
The features therefore are un-
recognizable.
The police believe the death to
have been the work of a woman.
The knot which hold the rocks in
the little ones clothes was tied in
bow, something man, unless de.
liberately trying to throw sus-
picion, would hardly do.
An investigation Of all the birth
records in the health Office is be.
ing made, and with this record the
police will ascertain, if possible, il
any baby has disappeared within
the last 2 weeks.
The clothes with which the babe
was dressed were devoid Of any
marks by which a clew might be
obtained. They are held at
Buchanan & Co., undertakers, in
| hopes that someone may recognize
them.
| Detective Briley was at work on
the case last night, but is non
mountaineering any informa
ton in his possession. He direct
ed his search last night to the vi
entity of the point from which it is
believed the babe was thrown. II
is a clear case of drowning and not
murder by other means.

CIGAR TO HEAR WELLS

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-ROlling
about New York in a big red auto
mobile, driven by an expert chauf-
feur, we'll dressed man, whose

JAPS' SEEK WAR
SAYS H0bS0N

TOPEKA. Kas., Aug. 5.-"Japan
is seeking war with the United
States at the earliest possible mo-
ment and | don't blame her.
IF were a japanese statesman
l would urge war"
In these sensational words, Capt.
Richmond Pearson Hobson, the
Merrimac hero of Santiago, made
stronger than ever his opinion that
war with Japan is imminent.
Asked to amplify, Capt. Hobson
declared that the Japanese are
ready for a war, that the United
States is not. and bluntly says, at
is our own fault" Continuing, the
former naval officer said:
Japan right now is building 7
warships to our 2. They are just
completing 3 of the Dreadnought
battleships now. They have great
strength in their torpedo boats, but
! believe that our gunners are good
enough marksmen TO protect them
selves against these little instru-
ments of war.
Japan has been preparing for
war while We slept, and already has
10000 able-bodied men in Hawaii
under the guise of workmen, and is
taking like hold on the Philip
pines. In l day it could seize the
Hawaiian islands and the Philip
pines, later take and hold Alaska
and the Aleutian islands, and then
capture the whole Pacific slope,
having us as badly handicapped as
was Russia. However, do not be.
lieve they could hold their footing
on our mainland.
1T is our own fault if we are
caught, for we have been stone
blind during all these preparations.
After the war with China we were
advised to get 8 warships of the
Dreadnough class, but congress
postponed it years on account of
the expense. Land military prep
arations in Japan are as well adj
vanced as naval. Japan has pre-
fected an army organization on a
scale never before dreamed of. Not
only the able-bodied men are sol
diers, but all, from the schoolboyS
to the aged, are trained.
Japan is also arming the mighty
hosts of emma. There are 10000
Chinese youths studying military
tactics in Japan, while China is
swarming with Japanese officers,
training and organizing the Chinese
youths into military bodies.
Eight years ago some of the ma
val men began agit ating naval

Pearl harbor in Hawaii, but as yet

What the United States should
do is to begin at once the building

ready we have got to grovel and
eat dirt and be diplomatic to ia
pan and England. The great danger
that confronts us now Is the al
lance between these countries,
which puts the United States be-
tween probable enemies. If the

Atlantic coast is left exposed to
