Washington, Aug 2I-Compalsory
arbitration of labor disputes is advo-
Gated by William J. Bryan in the Sep
tember installment of his point debate
with Senator Albert j. Beveridge of
Indiana in the Reader magazine.
Coming while the public attention is
strongly bent upon the telegraphers'
strike 1t shows that the Nebraskan
will make this one of the issues of
the next campaign if he is given the
Democratic nomination for the presi-
dency and will work for It individu-
ally If he remains in the party ranks
Senator Beveridge finds the condi-
ton of labor already satisfactory and
urges both capital and labor not to
kill the goose that lays the golden
egg" for both.
The greatest need of the laboring
man in this country at this time is
arbitration" says Mr.. Bryan. for this
would enable him to secure the short
er hours for which he contends and
would prevent the strikes which have
brought the writ of Injunction into
use There is no more reason why
the laborins man should be left to en-
force this contention by an idleness
that throws the burden upon himself
for a return to the wager of battle
as means OF settling law suits
While improved machinery has in
creased the number of workers and
raised the grade of their employment,
IL has also brought about conditions
under which the superintendent is so
far removed from the individual
worker that the personal relationship
is greatly weakened. Justice must,
therefore. be secured by a resort to
some impartial court. II is not neces-
sary that the finding of the board
shall be binding upon the parties to
the dispute. II there is compulsory
investigation at the request of either
party public opinion may be relied
upon to enforce the conclusion reach
ed by the arbitrators. The president
has recently called the attention to
the Importance of this subject, and,
as the Democratic party has in three
national platforms urged the import
ance of arbitration there is reason TO
hope that it is near at hand.
But the needs before mentioned.
viz. shorter day, arbitration and
protection form government by in
junction. are but means to an end,
and the end sought is the more equit-
able distribution of the wealth pro
duced. There has been wonderful
increase in the production in every
department of labor: the strength of
the human arm has been multiplied
many times-in some occupations
many hundred times-by the intro
duction of machinery but the man at
the machine does not secure his share
of the product. The economic prob
lem of today is the readjustment of
rewards"

Denver, August 24-The telegraph
operators who are on strike declare
that the situation is brighter today
than ever before. that the two COM
panies are still somewhat tied up and
that there is no doubt but that they
will win in the end. Late last even
ing they issued the following state
ment:
The picnic of the c. r. L. of A, at
Manhattan Beach yesterday proved a
huge success. both financially and
socially. 1t has been many day
since the forces of organized labor of
Denver have so universally supported
their brethren who today are battling
for their American birthright
The strike situation from the oper-
ators' point of view today appears
brighter and more hopeful than ever
before. Yesterday being the thirteenth
day of the strike, was regarded with
great anxiety by the few snperstitious
members of the craft.
"Advices from throughout the count
try. compiled by the operators press
bureau, unanimously reflect the de
termination of the operators to win in
their present struggle regardless of
the time required. The various locals
of this organization, which embraces
Canada. Mexico and the entire United
States, have adopted measures to OBJ
tain funds to carry on the great fight.
Locally the Associated Press sit
uation is unchanged. The entire west

ceived this morning from Chicago, in

GOVERNOR SAVES

Him Life Sentence Was
to Die Yesterday - How
Johnson Received News
Especial to The sentinel }

Denver, Aug. 24.-Andrew John
son. the alleged murderer of Marshal
Frisbe, at Lamar, will not hang.
Believing that the ends of JUS
tice would be better met by allowing
Andrew johnson to retain his hold
on life. Governor Harper yesterday
issued an executive order directing
the warden of the penitentiary to
remove the prisoner from the death
chamber to the regular cells of the
penitentiary and keep him there at
hard labor during the remainder of
his natural life. Reports from the
penitentiary are to the effect that
the prisoner received the news with
the same tantalizing Indifference that
has characterized his actions ever
since Governor Harper began investi-
cations of his case
The final decision reached by Gov
eruor Harper was made after he re
ceived a letter from Mrs. Frisbe, wife
of the man who was murdered. in
which she stated that there might
be some mistake as to whether John
son fired the fatal shot or not and
that she believed his sentence should
be Commuted to life Imprisonment,
Denver. Aug. 24.-on receiving
the announcement from Warden
Cleghorn that his sentence has been
from death on the gallows
to life imprisonment. Andrew John
son. the condemned murderer of Mar
shal Frisbee of Lamar, simply said
any apparent feeling of emo
tion, well that is good news, "
Before telling johnson of the com
mutation of sentence Warden Cleg-
horn led him to believe he had come
to his cell to take him to the gallows
in last effort to get him to loose his
tongue and tell any secret connected
with the tragedy that he might hold
Warden Cleghorn went to the exc
cution house and walked rapidly tol
Johnson's cell, where he stopped alb
ruptly and looked through the heavy
steel grated door.
"Step to the -dooe Johnson com
manded Warden Cleghorn.
Johnson sprang from the narrow
cot on which he was lying and stood
at attention.
How are you feeling" asked the
warden.
Fine" answered the convict,
How can you feel fine while death
stares YOU in the face?" asked War
den CIeghorn. you know you are
sentenced to die this week. Are you
ready to die now?" spoke the warden,
81 am ready to die" was all John
son said. in a voice clear. strong and
and without the faintest
sign of a quiver of any of his facial.
muscles.
Turning to Death Watch w. s.
Jones, Warden Cleghorn said: Bring
Johnson out. then"
Jones unlocked the heavy sfel
door and beckoned johnson to fol
Iiw. The convict stepped from the
cell into the long corridor, with his
hands on his hips. He was cool and
collected and evidently ready for the
worst. Warden Cleghorn eyed him
for a full minute, but Johnson did not
change his attitude in the least. Then
Warden CleEhorn.
johnson, the governor has com
muted your sentence to life impris-
onment."
A faint smile llt up the prison
er's face. and he said: Well that's
good news.
johnson was led back by Guard
