LABOR OPPOSED TO
FEDERAL CONTROL

Norfolk. Va, Nov. 1S.-The Amer
lean Federation of Labor, by a vote
Of 154 TO so, refused TO record itself
as favOring government ownership OF
railroads and mines.
The question came up on a resOlu-
tion to include railroads and mines
in the action taken at Minneapolis
last year favoring naturalization"
of telegraph and telegraph proper
ties The opponents took the ground
that government ownership Of mines
and railroads would prevent all
strikes. no matter how peaceably
they might be conducted, and that
with a federal government opposed
TO labor IL might prove a death blow.
Another important action by the
convention was the increasing OF the
salary Of President Gompers from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year; that OF Sec
retary Morrison from $3.50 TO S4,-
600, and Of Treasurer Lennon from
$500 TO $500.

THREE KILLED AS
RESULT OF FIRE
jury Evidently Believed Comics.
sion of Defendant Made at Time
of His Arrest. Despite His
Denial of Its Truth at
Time of Trial.

Boulder. Colo, Nov. 1S.--The jury
In the case of John w. Reeve. ac-
cused of murder, today returned a
verdict OF murder in the second de-
gre with recommendation for the
minimum sentence of ten years.
Reeve. who was a brakeman on
the Colorado and Northwestern, was
accused OF setting fire to two freight
cars in the presence of Frank Kiser,
conductor, on the night of August
10, this year. This was during the
strike on the Colorado & Southern,
on which road the cars stood.
AS result of the fire 2,400 pounds
of dynamite in anoher car exploded,
Killing three men, destroying the de-
pot and doing damage throughout
the city aggregatlng $780, 900. Reeve
confessed to setting fire to the car
and claimed to have been very much
intoxicated on the night of the deed.
Kiser's trial has not yet occurred.
He will be tried as an accomplice.
For Revenge.
Reeve confessed in the presence
OF several people at Boulder the day
after the fire that he and Kiser, with
several other men employed on the
G. ~ n. were standing I'm a saloon
drinking frequently and talking of
the "scabs' at work on the G. & s..
Someone suggested that several of
them We're asleep in a caboose near
the depot and 1t would be a good
time to burn them out.
Reeve and Kiser took up the sug-
gestion but the rest of the party
backed out and tried to stop Reeve
and kiser, who apparently desisted.
but when the rest of the party went
home, the two drank more liquor and
finally went to the c. a.. S. yards and
started a fire In the caboose occupied
by the sleeping men. Someone noticed
this fire and extingulshed 1t, and
then Reeve started a second blaze
two blocks away beneath a box car.
This blaze spread, exploded the dy-
Mantle, killed three men and injured
over 100 people, beside doing inn
mense damage in Boulder.
This was I'm substance Reeves con-
fession which he denied on trial. 1t
was substantiated by witnesses, how
ever, and the verdict resulted.
VIII Appeal.
Reeves attorney gave notice OF
application Tor a new trial and
stated that in the event one was re-
fused. an appeal would be taken.
1t Is the general opinion that
Reeve is guilty as he confessed and
but for the fact that he was drunk
at the time. 1t is probable that the
public would welcome a new trial I'm
the hope of securing a still greater
sentence for him.

MANY STATES ARE
AFFECTED BY RULE
Santa Fe. Missouri Pacific and
Frisco Plead Oppressive Expense
as Reason for Refusing to
Obey Departments
Instructions.

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 1S.-
Three railroad companies have de-
clined absolutely to comply with an
order of the postoffice department.
effective today. They are the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe, the st. Louis
and San Francisco and the Missouri
Pacific. The order was that for the
next forty days these railroads should
carry empty mail bags and other
mail equipment back to the distribu-
ton centers without compensation
therefor
Mail superintendents or attorneys
for the three railroads mentioned
notified the third assistant postmas~
ter general by wire today that they
would not carry empty equipment
unless paid for at the regular rate.
st. Louis is chiefly affected by this
situation, which involves the mails on
all the branches of the Frisco, the
Missouri Pacific and the Santa Fe.
The chief protest of the Frisco was
in relation to handling all of the
equipment which comes in on three
branches or forms of that system at
Monet, Mo, and goes to st. Louis on
the one line.
To Prevent Holiday Congestion.
The reason for the order of the
department was the desire to prevent
tie-up or congestion Of mail during
the holidays and just preceding. II
was suggested that II would be wise
to nave the equipment transferred to
the principal centers by more
speedy method than by freight which
Is the method provided.
Practically all the states from
Ohio to the Pacific Coast are in
volved in the present controversy. 1t
is expected that as soon as other
roads learn of the action and the
stand taken by three roads mem
toned, they, too. will join in the pro-
test.
Railroads traversing the two other
contract districts of the country are
carrying the mail equipment as be-
fore, and receiving pay for Il, but as
soon as there is readjustment pro-
cess in these districts the pay for
carrying equipment, except as freight
will be cut off. The railroad repre-
sehtatives claim that this pay
amounts to S10,000.0O0 to SIS, ,0O0,-
600 a year. but the postoffice depart
ment say this estimate is far too
high.
The assistant attorney general for
| the postoffice department was asked
| for an opinion as to the right of the
| department to enforce its order, and
| he is preparing an opinion on the
| subject. IL was stated, however, that
\ the department has not a foot to
! stand on.
| lheIe - fortunately a way ouI ol
| the emergency, but 1t will probably
! prove expensive. The law states that
mail equipment may be moved "by
| freight or express" A high official
| of the department stated that the
express companies would be asked to
haul the equipment for the next
forty days. If that is done there will
| be no delay.

Owes q Living.

1t is among men who try to get a
living by shift or trick of laziness
that we hear the familiar words, the
world owes me a living" A loafer
who never did a useful thing in his
life who dresses at the expense of his
tailor and drinks at the cost of his
friends, always insists that the world
owes him living, and declares his
intention to, secure the debt. We
should like to know how it is that a
man who owes the world for every
mouthful he ever ate and every gar
ment he ever put on, should be so
heavy creditor in account with the
world. The loafer does not tell the
truth about it. The world owes him
nothing but a very rough coffin and
a retired and otherwise useless place
to put it in. The world owes living
to those who are not able to earn one
to children, to the sick, to the disa-
bled and the aged; to all who in the
course of nature, or by force of cir
are dependent. And I'll

Improve the Evening.

With the return of the heightened
and pleasant and cool evening comes
the query to all, how shall we best
improve them? There are Thousand
pleasant ways of spending a fall or
winter evening within the reach of
those who have command of their
own time; and prominent among
those is indulgence in literary pur-
suits. How few, comparatively, of the
young people of the present day, APP
preciate as they should the inestima-
BILE privileges they enjoy Surround
ed as are the young in all cities and
most towns, with all the opportuni-
ties necessary for the cultivation of
a literary taste, not one in thOaS-
and appear to improve these golden
chances. Occasionally, it is true, we
meet with a young man or woman
who firmly grasps the idea that
knowledge is power but these I'M
fortunately, are the exceptions, moi
the rule.
Thousands of young men who have
comfortable homes whose parents
are willing to supply them with
books and papers-instead of avail
ing themselves 0i these advantages,
spend their long evenings either in
idle loungIng around corners, or in
company with frivolous associates,
male or female. Thus winter after
winter passes away, each Que bring
ing them nearer the age of manhood
but not fitting them for the proper
discharge of the duties that full
manhood requires. They enter upon
the busy stage of life with none of,
those safeguard, which a cultivated
intellect throws around its possess
Or They start out laboring under
thousand disadvantages and confron-
ted by innumerable obstacles, which
disappear like shadows before a well
informed mind. The fact that they do
not contemplate adopting a profess
ional career does not in any degree
relieve them from the charge of be-
ing untrue to themselves, thei'
friends and their country, willie thus
frittering away the most precious
hours of their lives in idle indiffer-
ence, and too frequently in the com
pany of those associates whom to be

them will resolve in the fall of 1907
of the twentieth century to turn O.

DEMANDS OF SOCIETY. BY
Mrs. Myra M. Smith. Second Edi-
ton. Two half tone illustrations. PIG
pages. Heavy laid book paper. Grey
ish blue cloth binding, with beauti-
full floral title, having gilt for the let
tering, and white and darkish green
for the border md flowery surround
ing Mayhem Publishing Co., Boston
Mass. 1907.
This volume is religious classic,
having run through two editions and
for its sweet chastity of style won a
firm place in the literature of the
day. 1t should be numbered among
the works that are found in Sunday
School libraries. The absorbing in
terest with which the writer weaves
the plot engrosses the attention of
the reader from the very opening
sentence to its concluding one. A
critical reader will discover some
small let downs due to it's being pen
ned from woman viewpoint, but
despite this, there is strength enough
in the skein toentitle it to high COM
mendation.
The plan of the book is built upon
modern lines, portraying human life
in America in the generation which
the reader lives now. Still this IS not
done to the sacrifice of virtue, honor
and the other landmarks of highton-
ed civilization, which have been made
to totter and crumble in the depict
ing of our lateday American vices
and loose standards, by a class of au-
thors recently arisen.
While the author unfolds the char
acterS of her book true to life, she
has selected some good types to float
before the minds of her readers and
in that way to furnish benefit from
their perusal. There's considerable
cleverness displayed by this writer
in gradually bringing out the good
traits of the folks she has created.
and developing their christian char
acters, but she studiously avoids and
we believe well succeeds, in that in
diligence in moralizing that will bluff
off the ordinary worldly lay reader,
and thus deprive them of going on
and getting the real juicy part of the
book. Christianity will be helped
from it's reading, and the one seeking
Entertainment will be Entertained,
and not have forced on him or her O.
verdoses of unsought Christian med
icine. The purity of the plan will
shine out and captivate instead OF
repulse.

Learn a Trade.

The value of learning trade be-
comes more apparent every day.
Scarcely week passes but some
young man is asking US to point out
field of labor for him. With good
attachments. perhaps. or an insatia=
bic desire to be at work at something
whereby an honest penny may be
turned, he finds himself landed, as it
were, at the first ebb of the tide. The
slightest recession of the waters de-
posits bin on the shore among the
weeds of idleness, and unwholesome
vapors becoud his mind. There is
scarcely a man in business but has
an experience like our own; his young
friends continually envying him the
privileges of working in well detin-
ed field, and wishing that, like him,
they had Something to strike at.
These young men are generally at
fiicted with the disease of ambition.
They want to be something more
than common, and installing often
their desires for the ability to satisfy
them, they hatter themselves that
they are tit for something better than
the common run of humanity. Their
great fault is in trying to achieve
manhood without serving an appren-
ticeship to it, and they find them
selves, when they should be prepar-
ed for their lifework, wondering
what it will be, and fretting because
it does not declare itself, and in nine
cases out of ten waiting in vain for
such a call, 60 into politics, agencies
etc.
The great remedy for all this is
trade thoroughly learned. The time
between school and twenty-one
should be spent at the carpenters
bench in a machine shop or at an an
vii. so that when the young man
commences his battle in life in any
vocation he can, If worsted at his
first attempt, turn to his trade
with confidence that his skilled labor
will at least procure him living,
and perhaps competence. Time frit-
tered away in trying to discover de-
sirable roads to success, foots up al
considerable total on the loss side of
the balance sheet.
