b|SbEE PAPER GIVES
the COURT A ROAST
Inhabitants Of Bisbee, Arizona,
Demand the Liberation Of
Mexican Prisoners.
Held in Jail for Months on
Trumped Up Charge of Vio-
lating Neutrality Laws.

BISBEE, Ariz, Dec. 3.-The case of
the three Mexican Liberal leaders,
who have been held in Jail at Los
Angeles for many months on
trumped up charge of violation of
the neutrality laws, is being closely
followed by the more progressive citi-
zens here, and the general opinion is
we'll expressed by the following edi-
torial in the ''Bisbee Evening Miner"
1T is strange, indeed, that the press
Of the nation has refrained almost
entirely from commenting upon the
recent decisions Of the United States
supreme court, refusing to admit to
bail the three Mexicans, Magon, VIII
larreal and Rivera, who are being held
in jail, awaiting extradition to Ari-
zona for trial on charges Of violating
the neutrality laws. The supreme
court Of the United States finds it
easy to declare unconstitutional laws
which have been enacted by congress
to control giant corporations, but ap-
parently it is far more difficult Tor
this highly respected body Of jurists
to grant to private individuals, aliens
though they may be, the right of lib
erty and freedom upon which our con-
stitution is based.
"Revolutionists have come to our
shores from foreign lands, seeking
refuge from political oppression and
to solicit funds to further their
causes and have been met with open
arms. They have been wined and
dined and '1ioned" until they have al
most been persuaded to remain here
for good. In former days a Polish re-
volutionary was taken up by upper
tendon and lionized, and whenever a
Russian patriot" comes to our shores
now he is feted and Sunday storied"
by the metropolitan press. The gov
eminent has winked when filibusters
have outfitted at our seaports, and
blinked when they have stirred up
revolution in some South American re-
public or West India island.
'The Mexicans, who have just been
denied their freedom on bail, are not
felons. All are highly educated men
who, if they hailed from Russia or
Venezuela, would be "patriots' en-
gagged in a noble effort to release their
countrymen from bondage. But they
are only from Mexico, which is very
near to home, consequently they are
dangerous men to have in our COM
munity and should be kept incom-
municado and treated as capital pris-
OnerS. The supreme court erred in
that it did not go far enough in it's
decision, for it should have stipulated
that the revolutionists be chained to
their cells and muzzled to prevent their
biting the jailers.'' =

GREAT IN personnel,
GREAT: IN BUSINESS
Federation of Labor Convention
Considered by Rev. Chas.
Stelzle,

Under the shadow of the "injunc-
tion contempt proceedings in WASH
ington, the, American Federation Of
Labor held its annual meeting in Den
yer, during the middle of November.
It was a great convention, everyway.
Great In its personel, great in the
speeches that were made, great In the
manner in which it's business was
transacted, and great in the subjects
which were handled by the nearly
four hundred delegates who. attended
the convention. The Federation has
grown in membership and it's finan-
cial strength. It is constantly devel-
oping in Importance as a factor in the
industrial democracy for the securing
Of whichtt is making such splendid
efforts
Labor's Moral Ideals.
There was a strong undercurrent of
sentiment which was easily aroused
by the speeches which had in them an
appeal to the moral and ethical ideals
of labor. The general tendency was
toward more scientific handling Of
labor's affairs, especially in the better
grouping of the crafts. This was mani
tested by the formation Of the Build
ing Trades and the Metal Trades de-
partments, and in the probable inau-
guration of a department for the
crafts engaged in the railroad indus
tries. Sucsh organizations should
very materially reduce the jurisdfc-
tional strife which has consumed so
much Of the federations time in for
mer years. and which has been con-
slant source Of hindrance in the MAX
ing Of satisfactory contracts with en-
ployers.
Labor's Political Program.
The political program of the fedora
tion was pretty thoroughly gone into
Despite the prophecies Of the daily
press, Samuel Gompers and the execu-
tive council were heartily applauded
for thei refforts in the last campaign.
Indeed, there wasn't a suggestion of
criticism from the convention with re-
ference to their action. Mr.. Gompers
is more. firmly intrenched than ever in
the hearts and hopes of the fedora
tion. 1t is quite apparent that he
knows labor as no other man does,
not only collectively, but as individ-
uals.
Compliments the Convention.
The legislation of the convention
looking toward better things for la
bor was put through with enthusiasm.
The keenness of perception and the
grasping Of the really big things pre-
sented would have done credit to any
kind Of an organization. Surely no
association of employers has broader
vision than had these delegates who
represented the men of labor at their
annual gathering.

INSIST THAT TANNERS
ARE CONFRONTING RUIN
Predict the. Present Tariff Will
" Destroy Their Business in
Three Years.

WASHINGTON. Dec Stree hides,
free leather and free shoes.
These things seem to be forshad-
owed in the coming tariff bill, judg-
ing from the proceedings before the
ways and means committee.
The tanners lined up to demand that
moved, on the ground that it benefit
ted only the meat trust.
Unless the tanners are, through
free hides, given a wider field in
which to purchase their raw materials,
they will be driven out Of business
within three years." was the dire pre-
diction made to the committee. When
the tanners were asked whether, If
they were given free hides, they would
be willing to have leather placed on
the free list they respondd in tn af-
f1mative.
Then along came the shoe men with
a cry for free hides. They were asked
whether they would consent to free
shoes If given fre leather and hides
They really wanted little duty on
shoes, but they agreed to free shoes
If given free raw material.
Nobody Wants Tariff.
Chairman Payne declared that he
had always bee. il: sec:scH IT free hides.
Nobody appeared to argue ror a
tariff on hides. 1t Is considered likely,
however, that the ranchmen of the
west will be heard from before the new
tariff, bill is framed. The Chicago
packers will also submit arguments in
the course of the winter.
Manufacturers of leather articles,
other than shoes, also asked for free
raw material for which they were will
ing to have their products placed on
the free list.
A lower duty on gloves was asked
for by F. w. Brooks, who appeared for
New York Importers. Congressman
Littauer made a vigorous argument in
favor OF the present tariff rate on
gloves. -
*J.@Baker of Kansas City president
of the United Brotherhood Of Leather
Workers on. horse goods asked that
the duty on harness be Increased As
to so per cent.
|. At last nights session Of the COM
mittee, applications for tariff, changes
were made as follows:
Chas. A. Rogers, manufacturer of
Hartford, Conn.,, increase in duty on
saddlery.
e. j. Deitch, manufacturer, New
York. increase in duty on fancy leather
articles.
More Duty on Hats.
James r, Marshall, Fall River, Mass,
representing rs hat manufacturers,
said an increased duty on mems hats
was demanded because foreigners
threatened to flood this country with
their productions.
Bryan w. Lathrop of Chicago,
speaking for an Art league, asked for
the removal of duties from all works
of art which have an educational
value, produced more than fifty years
ago.
Robert w. DeForest, president of
the Municipal Art associa tion Of New
York, said that the United States was
the only civilized nation in the world
that imposed a duty on objects of art.

Minneapolis, Dec. Especial atten-
tion is to be given by the Brotherhood
Of Carpenters and Joiners to the small

suscitate number of unions which
have gone out of business and to re-
vive others which have been moving

organizer in this district. went to Man.
kato recently, where he will stay at
least one week in an endeavor to put
the local in that city on it's feet again.
At one time there was strong union
of carpenters in Mankato, but interest
has been on the wane of late, with the
result that the membership has fallen
off to such an extent that the inter-
national officers are alarmed at the
outlook r. ,l5~
Mr.. Wahlquist will be kept busy or
ganizing throughout the winter, II
present plans are carried out, and will
be assigned to other places when he
completes his labors at Mankato. y.
All of the locals in Minneapolis and
ST. Paul went almost ,solidly for Mr..
Wahlquist for member OF the general
executive board in the recent election.
Some sections went. heavily against
him, however, so there is still some
doubt as to the outcome, but it is
thought here that he will pull trough

{ The sky has long been puzzle to
There are two mysteries to
explain about tits reflection Of light
and its color. The old view was that
the blue Of the sky was due simply to
'atmosph oxygen. Oxygen has a faint,
blue tint. and the idea was that sew
Ieral miles OF the gas; even when diluted
as 1t is In the air. would have bright
blue color. But this did not account
for the intense illumination OF the sky,
and OF recent years Tyndall's dust
theory or some modification, of 1t, has
been generally accepted. This regards
the blue color as an optical effect, like
the color Of very thin smoke, due to
excessively fine particles floating In the
air. which would also account for the
large proportion Of reflected light from
the sky. Recent calculations by Prog.
Spring, Of sLiege, Belgium, however, In
dictate that the dust in the air Is not
sufficient In amount, nor finely enough
divided, to support this explanation,
and he rejects it for this and other rea-
sons. He has gone back to. the old
oxygen theory, and accounts for the
general illumination Of the sky on the
hypothesis, first advanced by Hagen
bach, that intermingled layers of Differ
ient destiny, in the atmosphere give 1t
