UNION AGAINST LABOR.

1t is gratifying TO learn from Gold
! field, Nevada, that the difficulties which
! have existed thero between the mine
owners and r certain labor organiza-
tion are now in fair way to settle.
ment,
! Upon numerous occasions IL has been
demonstrated that when driven TO the
extreme capital will apply a remedy,
even at the ccst of temporary loss.
From all accounts 1T would seem that
labor organization (some working
men, even, refuse to recognize it as
such) has overreached itself in the ex-
ercise of power without due regard to
Justice. The object Of labor is to seek
employment at fair wages; but il can
not be seen how that object is to be
accomplished by depriving labor of the
opportunity to earn any wage at all
History is persistent teacher OF the
lesson that great power becomes but
a debilltated weakness when it is un
justly used; and labor organizations
can not hope to except themselves from
the rule. In Goldfeld the miners had
Just settled the matter of wages and
were apparently working along salts
factorily to all concerned, when an or
ganization intruded itself between en-
ployers and employed The men at
work were already members of unions;
but this did not seem to be satisfactory
TO the dlisturbers, who insisted that the
miners and other tradesmen and labor
ers consolidate themselves under its
single governing head. Indeed the
unions to which these industrialists be
longed were already federated in one
great body; and it is probably on this
account that settlement is finally in
sight.
No fault can be found with the legiti
mate labor organization which exerts
itself through proper channels with re-
spect TO the rights of all; but the raid
upon the mining industry which tins
particular organization engineered at
Gold6eld has been condemned by both
capital and labor.

LETT or entered the fort at the time, and
that, as there was neither egress nor
ingress of soldiers, the troops could not
have done the shooting.
Upon this theory Mr.. Foraker builds
his supcrstructurc. II he can prove
that the negro troops were guiltless OF
this frightful crime he will at once
discredit the Judgment of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, If
Foraker can demonstrate TO the country
that these high officials, upon frail
and pcrIured case. made n decree of
outlawry against innocent men, there
will be general indignation in the
country, and he thinks that he will
profit thereby. President Roosevelt
and Secretary Taft have been so all
wise, so far beyond contradiction or
question, that 4 gross mistake such as
this would inevitably dctract seriously
from their status IN the minds of citi.
zens.
The motive of Foraker may be lack,
ing in exaltation, but If il shall pro.
duce the truth and settle this serious
question upon lines of Justice, the Ma
tion will be grateful to him without
necessarily comforting upon him the re-
ward which ho seeks.

A CoNTEMPTUoUs REPLY,

The Senate was quite right in its us
sumption that the Governor must have
some reason not disclosed for repeating
hls nomination of TWO members of the
State Land Board to succeed them
selves who had been discredited by the
I Senate committee investigation. 1t ac
/ cordingly respectfully asked him for
that reason. His reply is probably the
most lnsolent, contemptuous paper ever
sent by an executive to legislative
! body,
In it he scornfully rejects the in
vestigation had of the misconduct of
these members, treating the judgm ent

Senate as valueless, based on Gun.
sustained rumor and conjecture on
unreliable newspaper gossip, and not
worthy of any consideration. In oppo,
sltlon to the conclusions of the Senate,
he holds these men to be good and
faithful officials, and declares that he
never condemns man until he sees
some valid reason to do so.
No one would, imagine for a moment,
Judging from what the Governor saws,
that the Senate had acted upon these
denominations In any other than the
most hasty and inconsiderate spirit;
or that it had made any inquiry at all
as to the fitness of these men for the
positions to which he names them. He
ignores altogether the inquiry by which
the wrong doing of these members was
fully established, he ignores the ludg-
ment OF the Senate thereupon. and ag-
fects TO treat the publication of the
testimony, findings, and conclusions in
this matter as unreliable newspaper
rumorss His freak position in this is
quite worthy of him as a man and
priestly tool, but wholly unworthy of
the Governor of State.
When he gravely replies thus TO the
Senate, he INDUCES in immeasurs BILE,
lmpudent insult. When he assumes that
the Senate is bound 10 formulate and
submit to him n reason or excuse for
not confirming his nominations. he ex.
hibits the ignorant gaucberie of the
rustic unfamiliar with matters with
which he assumes to deal, and makes
himself laughing stock. When he
assumes that he is not obliged to take
notice of a matter that all know and
that is a matter of public notoriety,
that he shall be officially in
formed of 1t, he becomes an uncon-
sclous humorist, but he missed point
when he allowed Washington S birth

ature down for not giving him infor-

PRIEST-RIDDEN SHELTERS.

The big and helpful smelter COM
panics of Utah are once moro receiving
the attention of the Deseret News. And
the cost of that attention, the smelter
companies know by past experience.
This time the organ Of the church
files public demand-no doubt in con-
sonance with private instruction from
church hcadquarters-upon the Gov
crnor to veto the eminent domain bill
by which the companies conducting
smelters may, under certain lust condl-
tions, condemn land within a specified
distance from their works.
This would not at all suit the News,
which desires TO keep industries con
nected with mining entirely at the
mercy of the dominant interest Of this
State. That delectable advocate of
progress, The Deseret News, at
tackled the smeters OF Utah
two years and half ago with an
animosity and virulence unparalleled;
it melted every opponent of the smelt-
ing interest to legal and personal OPP
position; and it made the smelters pay
dearly for its sanctifcd disapproval.
After the damage was done it came
forward processing friendliness for
this great industry; but only when its
hypocrisy could be turned 10 better
cash advantage than its open opposi-
tion. Now that there is danger that
the smelters will be freed from the
tyranny of the News and It's polvga-
nous masters, by law giving to the
companies the right TO condemn agri-
cultural lands in accord with the usual
practice in such matters, the News
howls hole through the blue vault of
heaven. The smelter industry freed
from the tyranny of the prophetsl

that they live here by the suffrage of

slight in Utah, and that word from

And SO Governor Cutler is advised by
the News that he must veto the bill.

FORAKER IS AFTER THEM.

Senator Foraker is giving pointed il
lustration Of the disadvantage to others
and the advantage to himself Of the
! possession of riches. 1t is not long since
| the oldyoung man of Indiana, Mr.
Beveridge, whose years are few but
whose mind is as old as the ages, pro
tested in public that the danger TO the
Government by the people was in the
rule of rich men in politics., in an
agonized way he asked in magazine
articles: HShall none but rich men
rule the Republic7' Not as affecting
the case particularly, but as a matter
Of personal comfort, Mr.. Beveridge was
multiplying his own official income
by several times through his sepsa-
tional articles-but like his great file
leader, President Roosevelt he is of
opinion that all the riches which he
may personally gain will be Just about
the right figure, and anything more
is dangerous.
Ia the meantime the arch enemy of
both, Senator Foraker, whose thrift in
politics and Incidental business has
made him several times millionaire,
is using his money in work which he
would call patriotic, but which Mr..
Bevcridge would doubtless point to AS
nefarious use of riches and proof of
the disastrous consequences of having
rich men in public life Senator
Foraker has engaged, at his own ex-
pense, IN an attempt to discredit the
President and Secretary Taft in the
Brownsville matter. Taking advantage
of the adjournment of Congress, the
Ohio Senator has set at work corps
of shrewd workers TO unravel the mesh
of contradictory testimony concerning
the alleged murdcrous assault by
negro troops upon the citizens of that
Texas town, Supported by lavish ex~
penditure and desirous Of earning their
pay, it is not unlikely that the agents
Of Senator Foraker will show that
the tangle was created by perjury.
Foraker has proceeded upon the idea
that the white people of Brownsville,
desirous of getting rid of the negro
troops. plotted to shoot up their own
town (not intending to iniurc anyone
by the bullets) with the certainty that
the outrage would be attributed 10 the
colored men, He has strong starting
point for his theory. The Sheriff de-
clares that the man who came to the
Jail and asked for the keys on that
night was n white man in uniform In.
asmuch as no white officer of the regi-
ment was engaged in the outrage, the
theory is that citizens of the town had
dressed themselves in second hand
uniforms TO personate the negroes.
hoping that in the dark their lack Of
ebon color would not be detected, The
notion is further supported by the testi.
mony of witness whom Senator
Foraker has unearthed in the person
of Macias G. Tomayo, a Mexican
carpenter Of Brownsville He is sup
posed to be disinterested, and he testi-
hes that he was engaged in scavenger
work at the fort, for which he had a
contract, at the time of the outrage
He says that the firing was from the
town toward the fort; that he was in
a position to see whether the soldiers

JOHN D. is SCARED,

| John D. Rockefeller is probably en-.
gagged in working the biggest fake OF
his career upon the sentimentalities of
this country,
When the aggressive man in tho
White House intensified his fierce cam
paigu against swollen fortunes and
when the effect of his activity became
visible, the Rockefellers must have had
some serious hours of reflection.
Thercupon John D., the chief of the
clan and the most dlsliked as he is
the most wealthy among the great finan-
cial forces of the country, must have
deemed it incumbent upon himself to
uppease the growing rage which might
be fatal if not restrained. He made n
mighty gift of thirty.two millions to
the general education board-the lnrg-
est single gift of money for benevolent
purposes by living man of which the
world has any record. But this was
not enough; for the rise in oil prices
immediately following created a suspi-
cion that Rockefeller was giving with
one hand while extracting from the
public pocket greater amount with the
other hand. Therefore one of his
trusted business associates, speaking by
authorization, announced TO the public
that his fortune had been greatly over
rated. He was not billionalre and
not even n half a bllonaire At the
outside his entire possessions could not
be worth more than three hundred mil
lions of dollars. and much Of this was
in unremuncrativc property. lie had
given moro than tithe Of this amount
In one bcstowal for educational pur-
poses, and he contemplated other bene-
factions.
Still the activity at the White House
against swollen fortunes continued, and
reverbcrations Of the Presidential
anathema penetrated even through the
closed doors of the Rockefeller modest
mansion in New York.
And so the conservative papers,
which are supposed to have access to
the Rockefeller confidence, announce on
the authority of John, Jr., the old
man Is son, that John D., Sr, has made
his will and in that will has left to
the poor of New York City approx
mateIy two hundred and fifty millions
of dollars, or fve.siXths of his remain.

Thus no attacks can be made bv the
hoi polloi upon the Rockefeller fortune.
without robbing the people themselves.
They must all pray for the presenva-
tion of the Rockefeller riches so that
they shall be inheritors thereof. In
asmuch as assassination is not a com
mon crime in this country in order to
gam oequests, Rockefeller is in little
danger that the populace Will rise and

the statement that President Roose-
