Lies To Deceive Labor.
IRON The kansas city Post.l

AFtom the hdiHls Nlty fostl
THE fact that the working men
of the country will vote almost
solidly for Bryan is causing the
Republican managers a great deal
of concern. By every possible
NEAR known to chicanery and
artitice they are trying to head off
tho stampede of laborers from the
Republican ranks.
As ia usual ia such cases, lying
is chosen as the most available
weapon to gain their ends, and
moro than any other man, Samuel
Gompers, president of the Ameri-
Federation of Labor, has been
made the object of attack. They
have chosen the biggest target they
could find, we'll knowing that if
they could shift or change the in
fluence of the great labor leader, it
would near thousands of votes
gained for the Roosevelt Taft
ticket and perhaps the swinging
of pivotal states into the Republic
can column.
The first lie was told only a day
or two after the Denver conven-
ton, when it was published broad
cast over the land by Republican
papers that Mr.. Gompers had
cabled to William R. Hearst in
Europe, asking him to support the
Democratic nominees. More re-
Gently a report has been studious-
ly circulated to the effect that Mr..
Gompers, for a consideration, had
sold his influence to the Demo-
cratic campaign managers and
promised to deliver the labor vote
to Bryan and Kern.
Both of these statements were
absolutely false, and both inspired
by the same motive, to win back
Republican workingmen who have
deserted that party to the cause
of Taft. The effort to discredit
Mr.. Gompers has proved a boom
erang to the Republican managers,
and will do them far more harm
than good. 1t is true that Mr..
Gompers is doing all he a for
the success of VIM. j.. Bryan, and
it is also true that he Yields q
mighty inflneuce among 1900, 900
American workingmen. This I'M
selfish devotion to the best inter-
ests of the common people is Civ
en- without money and without
price. On the stalwart form of
Samuel Gompers there is not now
nor eve has been q price-mark.
If there were, he would long ago
have forfeited the splendid esteem
in which he is held from one end
of the land to the other. No man
could have held his proud and
honorable position for years with
out being straight-grained from
top to toe.
Watch for the next lie. Itprob-
ably will be forthcoming before
long. The Taft managers are in
desperate straits as to the labor
vote, and nothing that dishonesty
can suggest to gain it will be left
untried. But the American work.
ingmen are on their guard. They
have had enough of Roosevelt poll
icies and Roosevelt panics, and
will take no chances on a repetition
of either.

Regiment VIII Encnmp With Regulars at Chiekamauga on July 23-va-
 cancies are Filled by
 Colonel Brfcken.

Tn preparation for the annual en- campment which will be held this year at Chickamauga in conjunction with the regulars of the United States Army, several changes have taken place in the 2nd Alabama Infantry Col. Chas. R. Bricken of Luverne Is in command of the End and is now in command ranging the details necessary for the Chickamauga encampment which be- gins on July 23.
 The 2nd has an especial interest for Montgomery inasmuch as the local infantry companies are part of the command. It was announced yesterday that John West, color sergeant of the regiment. had resigned because of his removal from Montgomery to Boston. Colonel Bricken yesterday announced the appointment of Lawrence Pierce. a well known young man of Montgom- cry to the vacancy.
 It was also announced that S. Will Hams had resigned as sergeant major. To ffn this vacancy the commanding officer has appointed Rufus Jenkins, color sergeant. ff4 4t
 Lieutenant Long, of the Abbott Ri- f1es of Selma. one of the best known commands of the regiment. has for- warded his resignation to the Colonel commanding. This has been accepted by Colonel Bricken and an election to fill the vacancy has been ordered

The week closed without q time ol method having been fixed for nonf. mating a successor to the late CoIone1 A. A. Wiley, as Representative of the Second Congressional District.
 Chairman W. A. Henderson Of the District Democratic Committee IS awaiting action by Governor Conner before calling his committee togetner' The Governor will issue a proclama- ton ordering a special election. Un- til this Is done the District Committee cannot fix upon a time for primary election or a convention
 A number of prospective candidates are awaiting action by the District Committee. before making definite an- uouncement of their plans.
 An interesting bit of gossip comes from Brewton. It is to the effect that Hon. G. W. L. Smith. a prominent lawyer of that place may decide to'run for Congress. Indeed. The Brewton Pine Belt News announces Mir. Smith. It makes the point that Escambia County has not had a Congressman and that nearly every County in the District is grooming a candidate. Therefore the local newspaper makes haste to put MT. Smith into the race.
 MT. Smith is well known in South Alabama. He has represented Escam- bIa County in the House of Represen- tatives and has served on committees of the party.
 There is persistent talk of W. F. Vandiver of Montgomery as eandi- date for Congress. Mr. Vahdiver has not authorized any one to make use of his name and 1t is doubtful If he could be induced to run for any ofice. He IS a man of large business affairs and most of his time is occupied.
 Having been foremost in working for river and harbor improvements and other public matters Mir. Vandiver is held in high regard by the people of the State and especially the people Of the Second District.
 The avowed candidates for Congress thus far are Hon. Tyler Goodwin and Hon. Thomas J. Hall of Montgomery. Hon. William H. Sanford of Troy and Colonel Charles R. BFicken of Luverne. Hon. S. H. Dent of Montgomery and Hon. Joseph N. Miller of Camden have issued statements in which they inti- mate that they will become candidates as soon as the District Committee acts.
 It Is expected that the Congressional situation will be cleared this week and that number of candidates will be an- nounced.

WAGES OF MINERS
UNION MEN MAY ACCEPT TERMS OF
 OPERATORS.
Labor Organization Is Not Strong And A Strike Would Be Disastrous
 To ,The Workmen.

Birmingham, June 27-(Special)-- Much interest has been aroused as to the final outcome of the demands of the commercial coal operators on the union miners that the same prices as are paid at the non-union mines be ac- cepted by the union men during the next twelve months.
 The present contract which Is based on the selling price of pig iron with the mining wage ranging from forty seven and one-half to sixty cents per ton for mining will expire Tuesday night at midnight. The mining wage of the union miners, despite the depres- son of the market and slack conditions not only in the coal fields but else where, has never been under fifty seven and one-half cents per ton in the past three or four years.
 The union miners presented a counter proposition recently to the commercial coal men, but they reiterated the de- nand for non-union wage scales and 1t Is now up to the union miners to reply.
 President Kennamer of Alabama Dis trfct No 20, United Mine Workers Of America, who went to Indianapolis, to confer with the higher officials recent ly and submitted e counter proposition, when asked as to what would be done said that he would not make reply right now. He announces that there will be a convention called for the early part of the coming week and the mat ter set plainly before the miners.
 A strike would be a calamity to ths miners, 1t Is set out in some circles. the organization now being rather short or strength, having a membership of less than four thousand men.
 There are indications that the conn mercial coal operators. the only inter ests recognizing the union miners in the State, are not very anxious to recognize the union further. and find that they have an excuse not to make a new contract The demand for the same wage as that paid at ron-union mines in order that all competition can be met is considered . strong card and therefore the outcome of the contro- versy is being watched with much in- terest.
 1t may mean the dissolution of the union among the coal diggers. There are some people who believe. however. that there will be an adjudication of differences. ,.

D1vORCEs IN JEFFERSON.
Courts Are Kept Busy By Dissatisfied
 Couples.

Birmingham. June 27--(Special)-B the time the month comes to an end, it is estimated that no less than fifty divorce suits will have been filed Tn the courst of Jefferson county. includ- Ing a few negro cases.
 There are not many negro divorce suits filed generally. the aggrieved par ties just deciding to live apart. With the white people. however. a condition prevails that the courts are appealed to for a separation It Is not believed that the June brides. which usually are very numerous. will not be half again as numerous as were the dtvorces.
 While the petitions filed are in the main people who are not prominent or well known. many allegations are made in the petitions that have been filed. Inasmuch as the daily newspapers of Birmingham do not make a feature of divorce suits. no matter who the people are, very little is ever learned about these conditions in Jefferson County. The many bills of divorce filed in the county in the past few weeks has at tracted attention of the clerks and some comments have been made in court circles.
 Considerable preference is given to these cases in the courts, the judges making every effort to hear the con-

 Yours very truly.

 zanesviile. O.. June 3. 1907. Leon Schwartz. Mobile. Ala.
 Dear sir-I have your favor of the 1st and not your suggestion as to tue observance of Memorial Day.
 am not authorized in any degree to speak the mind of the Grand Army of the Republic on a matter of such far reaching importance as joint observ- ance of the beautiful custom in- augurated by General John A. Logan. as the Commander in Chief of the most unique organization in the annals Of nations.
 As an individual let me say frankiy: I should not favor it. There are some duties in the life in which community may not join: duties which belong and only belong to parties in interest: duties not to be committed to those who have no personal interest in their performance. Proprieties are to be ob- served and they are not to be safely ignored.
 II am not disposed to discuss matters pertaining to the issue and result of the war for the suppression of the rebel lion at this late day since matters of greater. moment claim my attention. but would not be honest with myself. if put aside a candid response to your very courteous letter.
 Very respectfully,
 R. B. Brown. And so with this letter the matter
