Through the hard times of % 'S6 we
gained in population by the overseas
movement. In the six months to July l
last, we lost nearly two hundred thous-
and. Arrivals Of immigrants amounted
to 1866 against TAB, 952 in the cor
responding period of last year. De-
partures were 390,476 against l69, 476
in 1907. In the preceding fiscal year
arrivals exceeded departures by almost
round million, and the last six months
presents, perhaps, the only considerable
period since white men were firmly
planted in this country when the flow
Of population was decidedly away
from our shores
No matter how transient the cause,
so abrupt and extensive change is
worth considering. It must signify in
telligence and communication. More
than quarter of the thirteen hundred
thousand immigrants who came in dur
ing 1907 could neither read nor write;
two-thirds were from Russia, Italy and
Austria Hungary. Yet they knew very
promptly that there had been panic
in the United States, and what that
involved for persons seeking work. It
means greater mobility, Seven humid
red thousand Storage passengers in the
fiscal year, fnding-or a majority Of
them finding conditions not propitious
here, went back to Europe.
Probably, this means that the advan-
tages in the United States for the I'M
furnished man are not so decisive as
they once were. There is no more free
land. If he must take some lean years
along with the fat, the advantage
seems to strike him as dubious Sat

TO MEET IN boston
Annual National Encampmens of
Grand Army To Be Held in
Boston in September
BIC DELEGATION IN WISCONSIN

A week from tomorrow the Wiscon-
sin delegation, United States War Vet.
Grams and Ladies auxiliary, will leave.
for Boston over the Lake Shore road to.
attend the national encampment and
convention to be held there Sept. L, g,
8. and 4. Reports from throughout the
state show that nearly all camps in the
Department of Wisconsin will be repre-
sented at the encampment and Wiseon-
sin may have it's full quota Of thirty
six representatives.
The convention opens Tuesday morn
ing at Faneuil all and will continue
through Thursday and possibly Friday.
The Department of Massachusetts will
royalty entertain the guests, the pro-
gram of entertainment being on a
larger scale than ever before attempt
ed by department having the nation
al encampment. On Monday evening
there will be a banquet complimentary
to Commander-in-C Chief Hale and to de-
rartment commanders attending the en-
campment. On Tuesday afternoon
there will be steamer excursions to
Nantasket beach and in the evening
there will be a parade of the "Order
of the Serpent" Wednesday after
noon will be parade by regimental
and brigade reunions and in the even
ing there will be held camp fire. The
oncampment will close with a military
ball.
There are three candidates for com
ruander-ln-c chief, but the Wisconsin DEF
egation has not selected any candidate
to support for that Office and will not
until Boston reached
Admiral Joseph B. Coghlan, retired,
Of New York, is candidate for the
highest office in the organization.
Henry w. Busch of Michigan, and
Charles w. Newton cf Connecticut who
were candidates for the Office at the
encampment held at Sandusky a year
ago are again candidates. Gen. Charles
King of Milwaukee, who was can
didate year ago is not in the field
this year, but he may be next year
provided that the encampment is held
in the west.
The cities so far mentioned for the
next place of holding the encampment
are Oklahoma, Denver, ST. Paul, Rich
mond, Va, and Tacoma. An effort is
being made to have the encampment
held at either st. Paul or Denver, as
these two cities are in the middle
west and larger delegations would go
there than to Atlanta or to Pacific
coast cities. The headquarters of the
Wisconsin delegation will be at
Young's hotel, Court street.
AS Boston is the home of Gen. w. A.

ment was assigned while at Jackson

A number of the papers in different
parts Of the state are remarking upon
the apathy of the people of their neigh
bo1hoods to the senatorial campaign
and are predicting a light vote at the
primaries in consequence. Whether or
not this apathy is caused by the strong
probability that no one of the candi-
dates is likely to receive a plurality
Of the whole vote and general belief
chat way will be found to caryy the
fight into the legislature no matter
how the people vote at the primaries
there is no doubt Of the indifference
Of the great majority of the voters
to the. senatorial campaign up to the
present time. What can be done in the
next seven days in arousing interest
remains to be seen.

A MYSTERIOUS ACCIDENT
Roy Run Down by An Automobile Gets
$25 in Settlement for Injuries

There was mysterious automobile
accident on Prairie avenue just west
of the tracks of the Chicago and Mil
waukee railway just after eight o'clock
Monday night in which an unknown
boy was badly scratched up and an
unknown automobile driver was mulct-
ed to the amount Of $25. The boy was
riding west on a bicycle when the auto
came from. the west. There was no
lights on the car and the man driving
is alleged to have run directly into the
boy. He was thrown under the car and
badly scratched, but he was able to get
up AMI demand the settlement at once
from the driver of the car. A crowd
gathered inshort order and they assist
ed the boy in making his demands and
the man finally paid the $25. Then he
jumped into the car and the boy pick
ed up his broken wheel and left. The
name Of neither party could be obtain
ed but botn seem to be satisfied and the
accident was not reported to the police

WANT THEIR MONEY
Italian Laborers Employed by Chi
cago & Milwaukee Claim They
Are Being Defrauded
OFFERS 500 FOR PROOF

Claiming that they had been bunooed
out of nearly four dollars apiece
thirty-one italian laborers of the Chi
cago and Milwaukee electric road went
to Racine Monday afternoon in an eff
fort to devise some means whereby
they could get what they believed was
due them.
From the present information receiv-
ed upon the rumpus, it looks as though
the men have been the victims, of some
employment bureau in Chicago, or else
their foremen have worked a smooth
game on them, but after hanging
around the square for some time the
men departed without having reached
an adjustment Of affairs.
The men claim that they have been
working on the electric road ballast
ing and laying rails for twelve days
and a little over. Their wages, they
claim, were to have been $3.50 per
day, and at that rate when they were
paid off Sunday they should have had
$500 apiece, but instead their checks
read for only 1880.
One OF the number who could speak
English in q very broken manner was
asked concerning the circumstances
of the case and he said that the men
had quit when they saw they were
short in their wages and had come
into Racine in hopes of getting
matters Strengthened out. One of
the gang made an effort to call up the
Chicago office of the electric road and
see if any light could be thrown on
the matter, but nothing turned up.
This gang of men were put to work
a week ago last Friday after having
been sent up from Chicago presumably
by some employment agency, but this
could not be verified. The men stated
that they all had to pay S. to get their
jobs cinched, but to whom is a matter
Of speculation, although they claim it
was to their boss whose name they
gave as Todor Selakoff
The incident brings out more clearly
than ever the fact that laborers on the
electric road are being buncoed by
either INSCRIPTIONS employment agen-
cies or else dishonest foremen.
John Sys, who is a road foreman on
the whole Chicago and Milwaukee line,
has been accused, it is claimed by
Emanuel Dvoracek, a correspondent
for a Bohemian newspaper in Chicago,
OF being in league with an employment
agency in. Cnlcago which for the sum
of either five or six dollars promises
to find a man employment on the line
and also doing other fleeing schemes.
Sys firmly denies all these charges
and has deposited with the Slavic
Publishing company of Racine the sum
Of 800 if it can be proved that he has
done anything which is in any way
undetermined. Just what the outcome
will be is not known, or where or why
the laborers mentioned previously were
short nearly four dollars apiece re-
mains yet TO be ferreted out.

We come now to the question of Ia
bor. One important phase of the poll
cies Of the present administration has
been an anxiety to secure for the wage
Garner an equality of opportunity and
such positive statutory protection as
shall place him on level in dealing
with his employer. The Republican
party has passed an employers liability
act for interstate railroads, and has
established an eight hour law for
government employees and on govern
ment construction. The essence of the
reform effected by the former is the
abolition Of the fellow servant rule,
and the introduction of the compare
tive negligence theory by which an en-
ploye injured in the service of his, en-
ployer does not lose all his right be-
cause of slight negligence on his part.
Then there is the act providing for
compensation for injury to government
employees, together with the various
statutes requiring safety appliances up
OIL interstate commerce railroads for
the protection of their employees, and
limiting the hours of their employment.
These are all instances of the desire
Of the Republican party to do justice to
the wage Garner. Doubtless a more
comprehensive measure for compensa-
ton of government employees will be
adopted in the future; the principle
in such cases has been recognized, and
in the necessarily somewhat slow
course Of legislation will be more
fully embodied in definite statutes.
The interests of the employer and the
employe never differ except when it
comes to division of the joint profit
of labor and capital into dividends and
wages. This must be constant source
of periodical discussion between the
employer and employee, as indeed are
the other terms of the employment.
To give to employees their proper po-
sition in such controversy, to enable
them to maintain themselves against
employers having great capital, they
may well unite, because in union there
is strength and without it each individ-
ual laborer and employee would be help
less The promotion Of industrial peace
through the instrumentality of the
trade agreement is often one of the re
suits of such union when intelligently
conducted.
There is large body of laborers
however, skilled and unskilled, who are
not organized into unions. Their rights
before the law are exactly the same
as those of the union men and are tt
bo protected with the same care anG
vatchfulness.- Tafts speech of accep
lance.

Other things being equal local con-
tractor will probably get the contract
for the government building, but the
only things taken into consideration in
making the award will be the price
and the ability to carry through the
work. Any talk of favoritism in con-
nection with the contract for the build
ing is absurd The men who will make
the final decision on the award pror-
ably never heard of any of the contrac-
tors who will bid on the job.

AUTOS IN COLLISION
Waverly Electric and Gasoline Car Col
Tide with Serious Results to Both

Tide with Serious Results to Both
There was a rather unusual collision
Of automobiles in Kenosha during the
noon hour today when Waverly cleo
trio car owned by Arthur Gardiner col.
lided with big gasoline car owned by
C. G. Allen. The cars had been left
standing in front of the Allen home on
Durkee avenue. The Waverly was fac
ing south and the other car north. 1t
t.supposed that some one passing start
ed the electric car and it crashed into
the other car. When the wreck was
discovered the electric car was pushing
the other car about the road and the
front end Of both cars had been dam
aged. The gasoline car had broken
lamp and broken radiator while the
electric had broken spring, an ex-
ploded tire and was otherwise damag-
ed. The owners of the cars were max
ing every possible effort to discover who
started them this afternoon, but no
trace of the guilty party was found.
Mrs. Ben Bauer and children left on
Saturday for Saukville, Wis, where
they will make their future home.
