ENGLAND'S TRIBUTE
 TO AMERICAN hUMORIST

London. June 25.-The finest tribute which Mark Twain has received in England was at the Pilgrims luncheon in his honor today. The hosts num- bered 250. Two notable speeches were made. that of Chief Secretary for Ire land Tyrrell introducing Mir Twain. which was classic and full of humOr. concluding with a tribute which brought the company 10 their feet with prolonged cheering. and Mir. Clemens reply. which was largely humorous.

 Late this afternoon Mahoney took the floor. He spoke for half an hour before adjournment and will continue his defense tomorrow. Mahoney re- pudiated all the charges against him. Taking up the second convention of the Industrial Workers held last fall In Chicago, he gave a history of the proceedings and declared that they were irregular almost from the open ing.
 A few radicals tried to gain posses sion Of the convention while he and some other members of the Western Federation endeavored to have the proceeding according to the constitu- tion. The convention amended the constitution legislating out of exist ence the office of president. In regard % the charge of St. John that he ap- pointed men to steal Industrial Work CTS records. Mahoney said he did not deny that he had employed men to protect records but nothing was taken from the Industrial Workers be- cause at that time the organization was practically disorganiZed. Ma honey emphatically denied. that he had employed any one to slug'St. John or that he knew anything of it.

EMPLOYES AND INVESTORS AS
 ISOLATED.

The one and one-half million em- ployes of the railroads and the stock holders are closely associated and their interests are identical You cannot in jure one without affecting the other There is total stock issue on rail- roads of about S65O0. .000, ,0OO of which amount about S4150, 900, 900 is dividend paying stock, and s2, 800 O00.OOO is not dividend paying stock. The stock holders receive annually about S24O.- GOO.O00 as dividends. which is 5.7S per cent on the total dividend paying stock, and but 3.6 per cent on the total stock issue of the railroads; while the employees receive annually. in month- ly installments. Ss4O GOO. which is equal to a dividend of 12.6 per cent on the total railroad stock capitalization of S6. $50, 900. 900.
 An employe earning s900 on a rail road is receiving an income equal to , per cent on s1S.000. and has a stake in the property equal to an investment of that amount in per cent securities. An employe who earns s1500 per an mum has an income equal to an in come from S30.000 of per cent bonds or stock. and so on through the list of railroad employees.
 The railroad employees. individually telligent class of citizens; and. as the railroad question, now being so wig orously discussed by the legislatures and the people, is a campaign of edu- cation-which is the only true method of solving such a problem with fair ness to all interests-I believe the voice of the employees, individually and through their organizations, will be steadily heard against unjust laws, or laws that will unjustly injure their profession and retard the proper de- velopment of the country, which means constant and increased employment to a greater number of men. and which furnishes safer tracks and instrument talities in handling the passengers and the commerce of the country.
 In point of fact, the thing that the shippers and the people of this coun try now desire is not so much feduc tion of rates as it Is better service. The people have a right to insist that their service shall be constantly inn proved. I do not believe that the rail- road managers of the country will re- fuse to treat with the people. through their representatives in congress. openly and fairly on the question of how the best result may be brought about. nor hesitate to endorse a legis- lative policy that promises better con ditions. ,Is5lSE

SOCIALISTS
 FOR CONTROL
Of the Western Federation
 of Miners
The Fight of the I. w. w. w. Element for Suprem- acy Actively Begun

Denver June 25.-The crisis in the fight against Acting President Ma hone1 of the Western Federation was reached today when the clause of his report in regard to the Industrial Workers was taken up in the cOnven- ton. Vincent St. John Of Goldfield led the attack upon the acting presi- dent. It is conceded that the fight is an incident in the struggle for control of the federation by the socialist par ". |.
 In the discussion today St. John up held the use of the injunction in his arraignment of the acting officials of the federation. The injunction is a court weapon he had always denOunc- ed as a club created for the exclusive use oi the capitalist class but he ad- mitted that he had used this weapon to gain possession of the records of the Industrial Workers after Mahoney and others had taken charge of the machinery of the organization. St. John charged that Mahoney stopped at nothing tQ gain control of the In- dustrial Workers and freeze out the socialists. He said that Mahoney had employed thugs and even an expert safe blower to get possession of the records of the Industrial Workers.
 The chair in announcing the ques- tion before the convention. said that the final vote on the adoption or re- jection of the presidents report will decide whether the federation will re- main with the Industrial Workers or withdraw and form a great industrial union organization.
 Mahoney recommended that the fed eration should not side with either faction in the Industrial Workers and this position was sustained by the majority of the committee which con- sidered the report.
 Mahoney and Acting Secretary Kir- wan have the support of President Charles H. Mover in the fight. Pres

Railroad managers will not stand in the way of just legislation merely be- cause such legislation might have an adverse effect on railroad securities in the market. We all recognize that the true function of Wall street is of supreme importance to every section of the United States. Without its agency we can neither biuld, extend, nor improve our great railroad prop critics to any large extent.
 The leading financial interests, in New York and other money-centers. are coming to realize that the only true basis of public confidence in us and our securities must be found in closer and more cordial relationship between the people and the railroads and that the strong arm of the gov ernment is necessary to accomplish the most satisfactory results.

question affecting, as il does. every industry, man, woman. and child in the land, will require the creation of d new cabinet officer, whose department will be charged with responsibility in matters pertaining to railroads and navigation; who, through his position in the cabinet. will enable the cab inet members to keep in touch with all matters involving the movement of the commerce of the nation, both domes- tic and foreign.
 As the laws multiply, the labor en- forcing them, of judging affairs under them, of making rulings and investi- gating charges. must also multiply The commission, too, must continue to grow strong, or the whole system of administration will be ineffective
 l believed that I have touched upon most of the vital points that are at issue. In dealing with them, l have but one policy. That is, that the peo- pie and the railroads shall get together and confer upon the matters that arise between them, and that the govern ment shall be the instrument To en- force the agreement that the railroad and the people shall make between themselves.
 I do not believe that railroads should enter into politics. and I look confi- dently for the time when railroads will not be forced to go to a state or fed eral capital to save themselves from dangerous legislation That time will come when the people and the rail roads bring to the settlement of their differences the same common sense that they bring tO the settlement of fa lfca
