Good Outlook For Labor.

The opening of the outdoor con-
struction season finds New York,
both city and state, without ap-
prehension of serious labor troubles.
In the building trades especially pros
porous and reassuring conditions pre-
vail.
There is large and well met de-
mand for both skilled and unskilled
labor, due to the extensive private
construction projects now under way,
and the tunnels, railway terminals and
other undertakings of a public or
Quasi-public nature.
This contentment Is generally re-
hected lin the manufacturing and in
dustrial centers and beyond few To-
Called and sporadic strikes the labor
situation is regarded as brighter than
for many years.
Trouble over Eieht.Hour Day.
Labor's New Years day May /, finds
San Francisco facing serious labor
troubles. Eleven unions, including
every branch of the metal trades, have
called meetings for between now and
next Tuesday night to consider the re-
fusal of employers to grant an eight
hour day with nine hours pay.
"A vote will be taken to decide
whether the men shall accept the Of
fer of a continuance of the nine-hour
day with 5 per cent increase ol
wages or strike About 10000 men
are involved

Engine and Coach Went Into Creek.


Two trainmen were killed and more
than one hundred passengers had a
thrilling escape from death in a wreck
on the Wabash railroad Sunday when
the engine and one passenger coach of
westbound train No. 27 left the tracks
half mile west of the Bridgeville sta
tion and plunged headlong into Char
tiers creek, 40 feet below. Scores Of
people were saved by circumstance
which is now regarded as providential
A new schedule went into effect on
the road Sunday and to this fact many
owe their lives. By the new schedule
train No 27 left this city 45 minutes
earlier than formerly and over so per-
sons missed the train for this reason.
Because the passengers were fewer
than ordinary all were placed In the
three rear coaches, leaving the front
coach unoccupied,

President Answers Criticism.

In a letter addressed to Honore
Jaxon of Chicago, chairman of the
Cook County Moyer-Haywo con-
ference" President Roosevelt replied
to the criticisms of his recent letter
in which he referred to Meyer and
Haywood, officials of the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners, charged with impli-
cation in the murder of former Gov
erner Steunenberg of Idaho, as "un-
desirable citizens"
The president says he regrets any
body of men should so far forget their
duty to their country as to, by forma-
tion OF societies, and in other ways,
endeavor to influence justice and
coerce court or jury; that they, not he,
are trying to influence justice and he
condemns what he calls their fragrant
improperly in the matter.
He says that he indicated no opin-
ion as to their guilt of the Steunen-
berg murder, but that 1t was SIM
pie absurdity to suppose that because a
man is on trial he is free from criti-
cism as to his manner of life. He said
he might as well be accused of trying
to influence the suits against Harri-
man. some of whose friends had also
criticised him.
He said that Meyer and Haywood
stand as representatives of those who
habitually appear as guilty of incite-
ment to or apology for bloodshed and
violence.
He added that he was profoundly in
different to the condemnation of him
for his criticisms of the undesirable
types of citizens, regardless of the
power of either labor or capital.
Make No Reply to President.
Meyer and Haywood, the accused
Western Federation men at Boise
City, Idaho, on advice of counsel, de-
cline to talk of the presidents latest
letter declaring them to be "undesir-
able citizens The attorneys declare
they cannot, in the interests of their
clients. permit them to become in
volved with the president of the Unit
cd States and his friends in a newspa-
per controversy. Already, counsel de-
clares, has their case suffered from too
much agitation, and they will not,
either for themselves or their clients,
make any statement regarding the
presidents utterances.

ROOSEVELT IN THE SENATE.
d7rom tho Boston Transcript

CFrom tho Boston Transcript
The Rev. Or. Henry Van Dykes obscr-
walton that President Roosevelt needs
a stage" and that the Senate would he
an ideal one for him, throws some new
light on an old proposal President Roose-
velt's desire 10 pecome senator from New
York after March A. 1900. has been long
known. That he needs the position AS a
forum from which to express his opinion
on public questions is DR. Van Dykes
contribution to tho discussion, and it IS
not without certain force. Tho United
states Senate IN this respect affords a
peculiar opportunity. II is different from
tho House Of Representatives. and also
strikingly different from the upper house
Of tho LEGISLATURE I'm this state. On
Beacon hill the great opportunity for
public speaking comes in the House; the
Senate S too small 20 afford an inspiring
aud eucc to it's orators. In Washington
nearly opposite conditions prevail the
House is go large as to he VIGOROUSLY in
attentive. and its practice of giving
"lcavc TO print" greatly affects its feast
Of reason and flow Of soul In the SEN
ate this practice does not exist. What
ever senator wants to have appear IN
the Congressional Recorod ne must de-
