 LABOR LEADERS

Fairview, Lincoln, July 1S.-Wm. J. Bryan's speech last night to the mem- bers of the Central Labor Union of Lincoln, ill which he emphasized the labor blanks of the Denver platform, resulted in the receipt by him today of a large number of telegrams from la Dor leaders all over the country, congratulatng him on his utter ances.
 A dispatch from Erie, Pa, quoting Samuel Gompers denying that he had sent cablegram to Wm. R. Hearst which resulted in the latter's de- nouncing the Democratic party, att tracted considerable attention at Fair view. There is no disposition 70 Gucs- tion Mir. Gompers' statement, but to the contrary, there is every reason to believe an inquiry has already been set on foot to ascertain If possible the author of the cablegram credited to Mir Gompers.

Chicago, July 1S.-Willie Hudson, 14 years old, was watching the strug- gle between the Chicago and New York National League teams at the West Side baseball park yesterday from the roof of three-story building near by. In the fifth inning Tinker, the Chicago shortstop, batted the ball far into center field. The Hudson boy jumped up in his excitement and stepped forward, forgetful of his po- sition. He fell headforemost to the ground just as the Chicago player completed the circuit of the bases
 The police carried Hudson to the county hospital, where it was found his skull had been fractured.

 The ultimate results will be loss of capital and employment for England which will balance the loss to foreign manufacturers under the new British law, and the balance is more than apt not to be in favor of England

The attempt to make the Republican
candidate out the enemy Of labor fails
In the light Of the facts. Judge Taft
has demonstrated that MS a judge he
did what the law required him TO do,
and II he had done otherwise he would
have been entitled to no respect from
the labor or any other interests. Some
of his decisions have provided the
ground upon which labor organizations
have protected themselves. and have

REPUBLICAN PARTY
FRIEND OF THE WORKER
Statistics Compiled by President %
Bookbinders' Union Prove tho
Assertion.
Striking Contrast Between the Deeds
Of the Republican Lawmakers
and the Democratic Log
islators.

One Of the issues in every campaign
is that of labor legislation. All parties
claim to be the friend of labor, and it is
but natural that this would bring out
the facts.
This year the Democratic party is do
ing more claiming than ever before along
This line, and this has led James Fceney,
president of Washington Union No. 4,
International Brotherhood of BookDind-
crs. TO compile some statistics which
speak for themselves. Mr.. Feeney is one
OF the best known and most highly re-
specteI labor leaders in the national cap
ital. and his word is always accepted
with those who know him.
Many Records Taken.
Mr.. Fecney has taken the records Of
the various states for the purpose of find
ing out what laws have been passed and
by what party they were enacted. lie has
taken ten laws, including those creating
labor bureaus. public employment agen-
cies, state boards of arbitration also
eight-lour laws. child labor laws (mini-
mum age), child labor laws might work.,
women's labor laws. seats for shop girls
laws. anti-sweat shop laws and laws for
protection of unions.
In every one of these laws the labor
union has furnished the incentive for the
passage, it being the most vitality inter-
ested.
"hJoTbty IS EeDUDllcUn.
Mr.. Fceney shows thnt in the case OF
each law the great majority of the states
which have passed them nre Republican.
This is true TO a remarkable degree.
For instance. in the case of the eight
hour law. eighteen states have them, six
teen being Republican states and two
Democratic states.
