From Wall Street Journal y. "
Mr.. Roosevelt is the most dis
cussed n OF the twentieth cen
tury. No other parsonage OF this
generation has made SO profound
ar impression upon the world.
Although he has been in public
life tor a quarter OF a century, he is
even vet an object OF mystery, not
withstanding his extraordinary
frankness and volumnousness OF
speech. At n moment we think
We have taken the measure OF his
mind, only 10 discover the next
moment that he possesses qualities
OF which we had no conception.
He is a man Of strange contrasts OF
intellect and character, and even
those who get closest 10 10 him are
often unable 70 comprehend him,
The World affords an eXpla-
nation OF this by saying tina, there
arr actually two R~oosevelts.
Zone OF them, /, declares, is an
amazing, resourcetul, calculating
politician, not over accurate or
over scrupuious or over truthful,

In other words. he is both re-
former and politician. Some can
see only the one or the other in
Roosevelt, but Ter a fairly COM
plete comprehension OF him il is
necessary to understand that while
he possesses the yea and public
spirit OF the reformeT, he has also
the arts OF the practical politician.
Anyone who fails 10 give him
credit tor his high ideals, does in
Justice 70 him and also miscon-
ceIves his power as a political
leader.
Long after his mistakes and his
too violent speeches in a year OF

long after the Ananias Club, the
Tennis Cabine; the undesir-
able citizen" the malcfactor OF
wealth, the big stick, A"

A grand parade of union men,
1000 strong and bands paraded
the streets this morning in honor
of Labor day, set aside as their
own. 1t rained all the time, but
that didn't matter.
The line of march was from the
central hall on First av. down to
Sprague and east to Division st.
where it turned and passed along
Riverside av. cheered by the thou
sands OF people and sympathizers
who lined the street.
/ 1t was | long string of umbrellas.
The men marched in twos and by
actual time the march took fifty
minutes to pass the corner of Riv-
erside av. and Howard st.
Forty-six unions, every one in
the city, was represented. The $50

STRIKE

The commercial telegraphers'
unions of the country are selecting
representative to meet in New
York September 8 to canvass the
general strike situation and be
ready to meet any propositions
that may be made for settlement.
A committeeman is chosen from
each district. HE western district
includes the entire Pacific coast.
Committeeman are chosen by cleo.
tors from each union. The Spokane
electors are A. Thiede for the
Western Union and C. G. Reath for
the Postal.
Just what will be accomplished
is uncertain. the operators wish
to show that they are wiling to en-.
terrain consideration of any move
ment that may be made to end the
Inconvenience of the strike.
Nothing new on the local situa-
ton has been received today. The
companies are making no percepti-
BILE gain in handling messages, and
the strikers are as confident as
ever.

suits to test the constitutionality
of the boycott and even of the
fundamental principle of organiza-
ton on which all unionism is
based. J..
The case to test the boycott, or
so-called unfair list" is the case
of the Buck Stove Co., st. Louis,
James w. Van Cleave, president,
against the A. F. of l.. The bill
asks for an injunction against an
alleged conspiracy to injure this
company's business. Another case
which is of equal Importance, fIut
which has escaped publicity, is a
case which came to the supreme
court July II, entitled Law VS.. law
Ter. 1t is the case of Connecticut
hat concern that seeks to test the
legality of unionism in the light
Of the Sherman antitrust law. An
effort is made to show that trades
union organizations are trusts, can
be dissolved, or their organizers
and members punished. The money
to fight this case is understood to
come from the National Association
of Manufacturers treasury.
According to Samuel Gompers,
president of the A. F. of L., the
employers campaign has for itsgob-
ject the destruction of unionism.
According to Van Cleave, the pHr-
pose is to correct the abuses, of
unionism."
Gompers said: A
1--WE are prepared to fight any le-
gal steps which may be TAKEN by
organized capital to divide labor or
to deprive union organizations of
their natural weapons of defense
This is the policy of the executive
council of the federation, unani-
mously determined upon AFTER It's
members had been served with no
tice of a suit brought by Van Cleaye
to enjoin the federation from using
the so-called unfair list.
The use of the boycott list Is
one of the innate rights ofAGrgah-
lied labor, just as much sthe right
to organize, the right to speak or
the right to have freedom in~ pub
fishing the truth. We believe these
rights are constitutional and we arc
prepared to fight this or other cases
to the supreme court. Meantime,
we will go on doing what we believe
we have every right to dc"
Van Cleave said:
1--WE want to federate the manu-
facturers to effectively fight indus
trial oppression. We ought to have
$500 900 a year for years"
Some of the money, it Is admit
ted, will go for the hiring Of lobby

BOY RISKS LIFE.
TO SAVE DOG

A daring rescue of a drowning
Great Dane dog was made about l
o'clock this afternoon by Eddie Bill
Ter, age 16, of Kendrick, Idaho. The
dog in some manner got into the
river at Howard st. bridge, presum-
ably slipping between the logs. Ev-
cry time his head would appear he
would let out yelp and then the
logs would close over him again.
Eddie was watching the apparatus
at No. s station when he heard the
animal. Others heard it too and
when Eddie reached the bridge the
animal appeared again.
The boy unhesitatingly ran to the
logs and dove in where there were
no logs. Then he swan among
them and pushed them apart. The
dog was as big as he and when he

clumsy animal on top of a logNhe
was almost fatigued himself. ,SBy-
ISLANDERS pulled him out of the
water. The boy was completely
exhausted. He was cheered as he
reached the bridge and firemen
took his drenched garments and
dried them.

There may be lightning enough

This is nothing derogatory to the
lightning. The thunderbolt that

created about $500 damage and
would have destroyed the interior
of the building but for the prompt
action of the fire department. Its
intentions were genuine.

HEARST Defends BOTH

Both organized capital and Or

creation of wealth. here is just as
much difference between legitl-
mate organization and criminal
combination as between commerce
and privacy.

state legislatures to oppose union
labor legislation.
Regarding this, Gompers said:
| What does the association pro-
pose to do? Hire spies, establish
agencies of strike breakers, corrupt
and bride law makers or others,
maintain Hobbies? Their officers
would say not at all. The fund
they say is to be devoted to educa-
tional purposes Is there not some
thing concealed behind the scheme
to raise war fund of $1,000, 1000
something beneath even the pre-
=, tended cause given by Van Cleave
and Endorsed by his capitalist or
| ganization? Is 1t not true that there
| turks in his mind and in the minds
| of those who approve his plan the
thought, prompted by the hope, that
the organizations of labor may be
crushed out of existence within the
next years?
1--WE are neither a prophet nor a
son of prophet, but we opine in
lAugust, 1910 the organizations of
labor, instead of having been dimin-
|Eished, will have doubled their
strength"
| A reason for this open fight by
employers is found by government
labor experts in an increase in the
number of strikes which have as
their object the recognition of the
union"
The percentage of strikes con-
corning the recognition of union
and union rule constituted less than
g per cent of all the strikes be-
tween 1881 and 1885, and never
reached 20 per cent in any single
year prior to 1896. During the 5
year period of 1901 to 1905 they
constituted more than one-third of
all strikes.
From the employers point OF
view union recognition leads to
these evils: closed shop, boycott,
limitation of apprentices, limitation
of output, dctation by the unions
and attempt to control legislation.
The Van Cleave association in
clude these in the nominal objects
of hostility.
Quite as significant as the Or
ganization of the Van Cleave move
ment is the recent appearance of
other organizations among the en-
ployers, such as the National
Founders association and the Ma
tional Metal Trades association.
The Citizens Industrial alliance
is still another organization for the
announced purpose of resisting ''un-
just demands Of labor"
While these organizations sound
big. and $1,500,000 seems like a lot
of money, there is powerful force
back of the union labor banner.
The A. F. of L. comprises 11S so
called international unions, embrac-
ing $4,000 subordinate unions, with
700 Independent local and federal
unions, besides $50 central unions
and SO state branches, making
grand total in the membership of
the organization of nearly 100000
union employees. The FEDERATION has
in its war chest the trifling amount
of $95,000, which, it is said, can be
increased at any time by a 10 per
cent assessment by the mere vote
of the central council, so that it's
defense fund may be counted in the
hundreds of thousands, as it may
be needed.
SO 1t is millions against millions,
in terms of dollars, and millions of
employees against the federated and
rch members of the employers as
sociations.

What may be the most important
development in 20 years in the in
dustrial history of the country. is
the movement among employers to
organize to make war on union Ia
Dor. The next 3 years will see a
titantic struggle between unionism
and the powerful industrial forces
which have united to cripple or
destroy the union system.
The first move in the big game
is the organization of employers
under the name of the National
Association of Manufacturers,
which has determined to raise a
fund of $1,500,000 for a 3-year cam
