"Artificial Panic"
New York, Dec. 1S.-Samuel Com
pers, president Of the American Fed

upon all employers that attempts to

preached a dozen times by bankers,
financiers and capitalists in open con-
versation, in written communications
and whispers to the effect that wages
must come down; that the laboring
man must make up his mind to bear
his share of the hard times. The his
tory of industry demonstrates that
every time a reduction in wages, in.
tended to meet such conditions as

lawyers, manufacturers, mine oper.

now attempt to reduce wages they
will not have the easy sailing they
had a few years ago, for the Amer

clusion that the financial situation is
not due to any fault on the part of
the working people. They have made
up their minds that they are not go

CONVICT NUMBER s99. :"
NEXT WEEK AT NEW HAVEN
Remarkably Stirring Scenic Melodrama Sure Hit of
 the Season.

At the New Haven theater Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights next week and at the matinee "Wednesday will be seen the latest A. H. Woods at traction, a remarkably stirring scenic melodrama entitled Convict 999'' which is said to have made one of the seasons sensational hits, and whose many novel situations commend it to the most blase of auditors as a proof that there is still something new under the sun.
 The author of Convict S93' has struck a theme which cannot fail to intensely interest all classes of people by reason of its strong human appeal, and the fact that the series of hap penings which surround the central figure of the story, might befall any person who witnesses the play from either pit or gallery. The hero IS a splendid young fellow who through no fault of his own, is entang,ed in th9 meshes of a web of circumstantial tv- idence and convicted through peyjurad testimony, of the crime of murder, and goes to Sing Sing to await his death in the electric chair.
