with the Ingersoll Amusement Co.
whereby organized labor is to hold
labor temple picnic in Natatorium

but not what had been expected.
The alliance also approved of the

WORST ENEMY.

FORT WORTH, Tex, April 20
Has Stuyvesant Fish jr. eloped
with the daughter of his fathers
mortal enemy, e. H. Hartman?
This is question friends of the
young man in this city are asking
today, but nobody knows the an
swer. Conflicting reports concern
ing the elopement are extant in
New York. The basis of the story
is a rush message sent from New
York from Fish sr., asking railroad
officials in New York to ascertain
the whereabouts of his son. Then
followed a rumor that he had
eloped with Miss Hartman.
Last night another message came
from Fish stating that his son was
neither missing nor married. But
message has not stopped the elope-
ment stories and Fish jr.'s friends
are looking for more details today.

Is doing to you. Senator Johnson
of Alabama has introduced a reso-
luton providing for an immediate
investigation of the business meth
DDS of the United Fruit Co. by the
department of commerce and labor.
Johnson filed data to show the
senate Just what character of an
octopus the fruit trust Is. This in
formation tends to show that since
1899 the fruit industry has gone
through a thorough process OF
Standardization. That is: that
the United Fruit Co. has done to
the fruit industry Just what the
Standard OIL Co. has to the oil
business.
Senator Johnson's information
charges that the fruit trust has
driven out of existence nearly all

cent OF all importations.
