Labor's Attitude Set Forth.

P. j. Madigan. a delegate to the Cen
trail Labor Union, addressed about 600
men last night at a meeting of the Dis
| trict of Columbia Democratic Association
| in the Munsey building.
| He arraigned Roosevelt and Taft from
the standpoint of labor and prophesied
victory for Bryan at the polls November
3. A number of republican manufacturers
| in Pennsylvania, he said, had threatened
their employees with being laid off in the
event of Bryans election.
This. he added, lis outrageous and
rascally 1t is also foolish. For you and
all intelligent people know these manu-
facturers are only paving the way for a
loss of orders if Bryan is elected
If the country does prosper under
Bryan these men will be looking for
orders. and they who have heard them
make the statement that they would have
| to close their mills will naturally think
they have done so and place their orders
elsewhere.
These men will be rebuked at the
| polls. for the American people are arous-
ed as they have never been aroused be-

All the accommodations of the steamers of the Canadian-Austra- Han line have been secured, it is stated. six months ahead by the Japanese of Honolulu. Technically the Japanese government cannot do anything to pre- vent the coming of these Japanese to Canada, for the Japanese are free agents once they have turned in their passports at the islands.
