I'm Open Letter From Federation Man to Mr. Gonpers

Workers of America from providing
the striking miners and their
families with shelter and food.
Where was President Gompers of
the A. f. OF L. during the last two
months2 What did he do to help
the Alabama miners? Gompers
helped to defeat them by Democratic
! Bryan licksplitting Governor Conner
could proudly claim that he had
Bryan and Gompers on his side. and
that neither of these gentlemen stood
for Farley Anarchy and United
Mine Workers strike outrages.
Shame upon the editor of the
American Federationist, that he did
not see fit to write one line in behalf
of the Alabama coal miners, Nei-
Their the August nor the September
/ issue of Mr.. Gompers' organ contains
an editorial mention of one of the
most justified strikes and one of the
/ most bitter labor wars in the south.

| Union Labor club pass votes of
thanks to Messrs. Gompers, Bryan &
| Co. for the noble work" they have
| failed to do in behalf of the Alabama
miners.
Georgia's sickening convict-lease
scandal is substantially ended. After
most exciting struggle the legisla-
ture has passed law providing that
the conyiets shall be turned over to
counties and municipalities that may
| apply to them for work upon the
roads, public buildings and the like.
But it Is said that there will be none

state simply the cost of maintenance.
The conyiet-lease system so long
maintained by the democracy of
Georgia has not only been unuttera-
bic barbarism, ranking with the
worst of Russia or Turkey. but 1t has
been exceedingly corruptlng in state
politics.
In Vicksburg. Mississippi, they use
the vagrant law to make union men
''scab" on each other. When the
dock workers and boat hands struck
on the river they would not work UNI

owners and after they had been on

friends of labor who rule the south
will not even lessen their grip upon

They say the hot bed of Organism

chairman of the convention was the
most prominent Democrat in Ala

south is a good example of what
enthusiastic Bryanites can do when
they are in power. then God save
this country from the Bryanites.
After two monts' heroic struggle

PEELED to accept % per cent reduc-
ton in wages and return to the old
system of seryitude which is far
worse than the slavery in the gold
and silver mines In ancient Rome
and Greece of which we find strik-
ing description in Osborne Ward s
book, ancient Lowry"
Governor Conner, the leader of the
Democratic Bryan machine in Ala
hama, first ordered the state militia
into the strike district to help the
mine owners defeat the United Mine
Workers of America. When the
striking miners and their poor wives
and innocent children were evicted
from the company house the United
Mine Workers organized bravely
came to the rescue of the suffering
families by establishing strike camps
and providing them with shelter and
food.
This enraged the mine owners.
they again appealed to their Demo-
cratic Governor Conner, who, with
out a moments delay, declared the
camps of the striking miners "an-
sanitary" and ordered them inn
mediately removed
This settled the strike. With the
entire Democratic state government
arraigned agains the strike, the con-
tinuation of the struggle would have

! Mr.. Gompers Is Mr. Bryan chiel

was issued in Mr.. Bryan's interest foI
the purpose of attracting TO him the
labor vote. Unless Ii is denied. and
il has not been denied. this is 10 be
taken as an authentic statement OF
Mr.. Bryan's attitude towards the
courts.
The particular occasion of these
declarations was the refusal of con-
gress to pass a bill which withdrew
from the courts the right TO restrain
by injunction any boycott, whether
secondary or otherwise. however
arbitrary. destructive and unjustifi-
able it might be. by means of a pro-
vision limiting injunctions To the

acting that

this right of property from the pro-
lection of the laws would be class
legisltion of the most dangerous and
offensive character. To this. accord

Investments already made seek to

| answer in the second place, that
the possibility. indeed. the prob
ability of Mr.. Bryans control of the
courts presents the moist serious
danger which would follow his cleo
ton. He has already give us evidence
by his public utteranees that he
would, If he could, re-eonstitute the
courts in such way that they should
answer 10 the demands of what he
deems to be public opinion. If cleo
ted president he will have an oppor-
tnnity to re-eonstitute the supreme
court of the United States, which
stands as the great and indispens-
able bulwark of constitutional right.
When the next president is inaugu-
rated four of the present justices of
the supreme court will have passed

certain that the president elected in

that he will have the appointment of

crazy toward the courts. In their
view il IS not the constitution as in
/ terpeted by the courts. il is not the
rules OF law and the existing statutes
as interpreted by the courts, but 1t Is
the will of the people at the moment,
expressed in some other way than
through the courts, which Is TO gov
ern; and for the courts to render
their decisions and issue and enforce
their DEGREES in accordance with their
opinion as to what the provisions OF
the constitution and the laws are, is
despotism. unless that opinion agrees
with the present wish of what Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Gompers choose to
them.
This means the destruction of our
judicial system. Ii means subser-
vent Venezuelan judiciary in place of
an independent American judiciary
II means the sweeping away of the
protection that American constitu-
tions have thrown about the rights of
property. the fruits of enterprise and
the liberty of the individual. III
means that If Mr.. Bryan has the OPP
portunity 10 reconstitnte the supreme

this great calamity looming large on

New York City.-After spending
fourteen months on an investigation
along the canal zone regarding the
allegations that have been brought
against certain officials in the employ
of the Canal Commission, J. H. Col
Inns returned from Colon, en- route

report. He declined to discuss it be-

Mr.. Collins said last month was

sent to the United States by men en-
ployed along the canal. He found
them all in good spirits and fond Of
baseball, bowling, tennis, rowing,
and all kinds of healthy outdoor
sports. Gambling is not popular nor
drinking to any extent, Mr.. Collins
found, and this had been so marked
during the last year that many of
the saloon and gambling house pro-
prietors in Colon and Panama have
closed up and gone to pastures new.
The health of the employees as a
whole was good, he said, and the
labor conditions at the present time
satisfactory. Excellent food at cost

JAPAN'S CORDIAL WELCOME.
The Reception of the American Fleet Was Eta
and Perfectly Carried Out. L

Toxic, Japan.-The reception ac-
corded the American Atlantic fleet by
the Government and people of Japan
is conceded by the American naval
officers to be the heartiest and most
perfectly carried out of the many re-
ceptions received by the feet since 1t
sailed from Hampton Roads, Rear
Admiral Sperry said that he was ut
terly unable to say how 1t had been
accomplished, but that the welcome
given the fleet and its officers and
men here had been so carefully
planned and carried out to the most
minute details that lasting impression
has been stamped upon the mind of
every American who has witnessed
it.
1t is impossible to doubt the sim
certify of the Japanese. The Ameri-'
can officers and sailors are already
beginning to understand the fact that
the evident desire on the part Of the
Japanese for the friendship of Amer
lea is not founded upon opportunism,
but finds its source in a sincere wish
to show that such friendship, at least
on the part of the Japanese, has ex-
