LABOR RENOUNCES JAX0N.
Not Its Representative in Moyer-Hay-
wood Aqitation.

Chicago, April 26.-President Roose-
velt's phrase, undesirable citizens"
with which he branded Meyer and
Haywood in his letter to Honore J.
Jaxon, has been voluntarily assumed
by ninety-five delegates who attended
a meeting of the Moyer-Haywood de.
Tense conference The stigma" was
declared to be badge of honor. -
Incidentally plans were laid for a
demonstration on the lake front on
May 49, Chairman Barney Berlyn an
nounced that only undesirable citi-
xens' would be invited to participate.
The Chicago Federation of Labor is
unwilling to shoulder the responsible
ity incurred by the Roosevelt reply to
Jaxon At meeting Of. the executive
board 1t was determined to sidestep
the boomerang which descended on
Jaxon. a.
We haven't a word to say" de-
clared Secretary Nockels. sJaxon does
not represent organized labor and
therefore he will have to face his own
troubles alone. Labor cannot be held
to account In any way for Jaxonss pro-
test to the president nor for what fol
lowed
The policy Of the federation, it is
said, will be to await an answer from
the president to the resolutions adopt
ed by the central labor body last Sun
day and whfcK were forwarded to
Washington the following day. It is
thought the sprssideat+ hadsnot yet re-.
ceived the resolutions when he wrote
the letter TO Jaxon. -

NEW RAILROAD IDEA
Roosevelt to Explain His Views
on Memorial Day.
WILL SPEAK AT INDIANAPOLIS

Intends TO Discuss Overcapitalization
of Railroads and q Proposition for
Supervision of Corporations in Inter
state Business.
!. Chicago, April ga dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Memorial day at Indianapolis will
mark the beginning of new railroad
crusade on the part Of President
Roosevelt. His speech at that time
will be devoted to the future and not
to the past He will then explain for
the first time in public his idea in re-,
gard to decentralization of railroads:
This will be connected inevitably with.
proposition for supervision OF cor.
porations doing interstate business and.
their regulation by the federal govern
ment as railroads are regulated today.
Every development Of late Shows: VS.
that most of the big lines of railro~@A AAa' ~
In the United States are vastly over
| capitalized, some of them having
funded debt and capital stock issues
amounting to from two to ten times
their actual cost. 1t is the purpose of
the president to get at the facts rather
than to suggest remedy, but it is the
facts themselves which the railroad
men are most anxious to conceal.
They were not half so much afraid of
the rate law as they are of the results
Of an honestly conducted government
commission to inquire into the cash
value of the railroads and to fix the
responsibility for a vast amount Of
watered stock which has been un-
loaded upon the public.

West Richmond advertising material
will be left. and such information as
the association desires to impart to
others will be posted on bulletin
board system of cards has been
devised by Mr.. Heironimus whereby
those having properties for sale or for
rent on the west side can describe them
on these cards. These will be posted on
the bulletin board at the Mount shoe
store and there prospective West Rich
mond residents or property owners can
keep in touch with the situation across
the river.

Mine Preserved Bodies.

A curious story illustrative of the
preservative properties OF carbonic acid
gas, or Choke damp comes from
China. In the province of Nganhwei
a party of miners opened an ancient
shaft where, according to the official
records, terrible catastrophe had oc-
CURED 400 years ago. When the min
ers entered they came upon the bodies
of 40 miners who had perished in the
mine, lying where they had been over
taken by the deadly gas four centuries
back. The corpses to the eye were as
though of yesterday, quite fresh look
ing and not decayed in any way. The
faces We're like those of men who had
just died. On an attempt being made
to move them outside for burial they
one and all crumbled away, leaving
nothing but pile of dust and the rem
nants of the stronger parts of their
clothing.
