WORK OF UNRULY NEGROES
Three Italians Killed and Several
Wounded in Louisiana.

New Orleans, Dec. 1S.--Dispatches
from several Northwest Louisiana
points, where three Italians have been
killed and several wounded since Sat
urday night, indicate that the trouble
has not been quite so serious as at
first reported. Instead of the fighting
occurring between white residents Of
Chathamville, La, and vicinity, as for
merly reported, a late dispatch indi.
Gates that probably less than a dozen
unruly negroes committed nearly, If
not all the assaults. There is some
ground for suspicion, however, that
the whites, through i'll feeling towards
the Italians for accepting reduced
wages, failed to exercise herestrain-
ing hand which they usually keep over
the negroes in that section. A posse
from Shreveport, La, has left for the
scene of the assaults to restore order
and to arrest the negroes.

RAISED BY TILLMAN.
Subject of Prohibition Comes Up In
the Senate.

Washington, Dec 1S.-The subject
of prohibition came up in the senate.
1t was raised by Senator Tillman,
who introduced a resolution instruct
ing the committee on finance to con-
slider and report whether it is prac-
ticable for the national government to
discontinue the issuance of permits to
retail liquor dealers in states, coun-
ties or municipalities where local op-
tion prevails prohibiting the sale of
liquors"
Senator Allison suggested that the
government merely collected tax on
liquor and does not control its sale.
Mr. Tillman replied that the govern.
ment in collecting the tax permits the
sale of the liquor and issues a permit
for that purpose. The resolution was
adopted

RESIST CUT IN WAGES
Samuel GOmPerS Says Labor Or.
gaaizatiOGs VIII Fight.
NOT CAUSE OF CONDITIONS

Declares the American Workingman
Has Made Up His Mind Not to Be
the Chief Sufferer Because of an
"ArtiaoiaI Panic"
New York, Dec 1S.-Samuel Com
pers, president Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, has served notice
upon all employers that attempts to
be made to reduce any wages at this
time will be fought to the utmost. He
delivered his ultimatum in an address
at dinner of the Civic Federation at
the Hotel Astor.
"Since | have been in New York, -
said Mr. Gompers, 81 have been ap.
preached dozen times by bankers,
fnanciers and capitalists in open con.
versation, in written communications
and whispers to the effect that wages
must come down; that the laborine
man must make up his mind to bear
his share of the hard times. The his
tory Of industry demonstrates that
every time a reduction in wages, in.
tended to meet such conditions as
now exist, have only accentuated the
situation and made matters worse.
So | say to employers, 20 bankers,
lawyers, manufacturers, mine oper.
ators, to all employers-that if they
now attempt to reduce wages they
will not have the easy sailing they
had a few years ago, for the Amer,
lean workingman has come to the con.
clusion that the financial situation is
not due to any fault on the part of
the working people. They have made
up their minds that they are not go
ing to be the chief sufferers because
of an artificial panic oreone caused by
the blunders of those Who have charge
Of the finances of the country"

sons who under the despotic regime
were accustomed to Cypress the peo,
pie misled our young sovereign into
the belief that the constitution was
the cause of the present troubles.
THE nation wants to do nothing
that will disturb peace, but in view OF
the attack of the reactionary members
of the government it will defend the
constitution, its only hope, to the ut.
most.
by means Of this manifesto the Per-
sian nation makes known to all lega-
tions and foreign diplomatic represen-
tatives the actual condition of affairs
and informs them that the sovereign
is violating his covenant with the peo,
pie. 1t makes this announcement to
all the nations of the world, convinced
that they will show brotherly love to
the 100000 Persians and not allow
their rights to be trampled under foot "

work Will be begun at once, and
a similar work is being carried on east
of Ogden, The result will be that the
entire line from Omaha to the coast

NAMING RAILROAD BOATS.
Young Enthusiasts Suggest Calling One
After Virgil Bogue.

a California railroad writer has this
TO say anent the christening of West
ern Pacific ferry boats:
''The bright young men in the
employ of the Western Pacific are dis
cussing with much earnestness what
names should be given the new ferry
boats of the Western Pacific when
built. Some are inclined to think that
the names of great statesmen of local
celebrity might be employed as sop
to the pride of California, 1t is under
stood that the younger members of the
law department favor this nomencla-
ture. but add that no man S name be
given to vessel of the Western Pa
cihc which shall have been tainted
with the odium of graft This, of
course, precludes the possibility of any
of the fleet being named Abe Ruef or
Gene Schmitz. There is another set
who think that classic names are more
appropriate, and observe that as the
chief engineer, Virgil G. Bogue, has a
classical name, what better one could
be found for boat if it were given a
feminine termination-Vergilla, for ex-
ample
