NO PARTY ENDORSEMENTS
Organized Labor Is Actively Inter-
ested in Political Conditions.
Cut John Mitchell Thinks the Organi'
cations Will Not Make Any
Partizan Movement.

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. John Nit
chel, president of the United Mine
Workers, when asked Thursday in re-
gard to rumors to the effect that there
had been inaugurated during the re-
cent mine workers convention a move
ment to indorse the candidacy of GER
tain aspirants for the presidency OF
the United States and for other poll
teal offices stated that so far as he
knew there was no foundation Tor
these rumors. He said, however. tnat
the members of the miners union, to-
gether with all trade unionists afllli-
ated with the American Federation or
Labor, were interested actively IN the
election to all executive, judicial and
administrative offices of men who
were known to be sympathetic to the
reasonable demands of the wage earn
ers of the country. ut follows, there
fore" said Mr.. Mitchell, that they
would oppose the candidacy of aspir-
ants for political honors who are
known to be unsympathetic or antag-
onistic to the labor movement.
This activity on the part of the
organized and to a less extent on the
part of the unorganized workers of our
country, is not partisan movement.

labor organizations entering the poll

FLORIDA LEADS WITH FIGHT
Republicans Selected Two Sets OF
National Convention Delegates.
Two Meetings Were Held In Same
Hall Amid Knocks Down and
Drag Out Fights.

st. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 7.-Florida
republicans stood conspicuously in the
limelight Thursday as being the first
to hold their convention to select dele
gates to the National convention, and
it is said here that the strenuous and
exciting scenes enacted are forecast
of similar scenes in other southern
states, caused by the efforts being
made by the anti-Roosevelt republi-
cans for control in the National con-
vention.
The convention Thursday was one
of the most remarkable in some re-
spects ever held by any political party.
It was really two conventions held at
the same time in the same hall. The
progress of business was frequently in
terrupted by knock-down and drag-out
fights.
The officeholders faction was called
to order by the chairman of the state
committee and they proclaimed them
selves as the regular party but they
did not succeed in carrying out the
pre-arranged programme. The TAFT
sentiment was too strong for the lead
ers to hold in check and resolutions
were adopted endorsing William H.
Taft for the presidency. On the other
side of the hall the contrasting conven-
ton took conservative action and
chose delegates untrammeled by in
structions, positive assurance being
given by Joseph N. STRIPPING, who led
the movement, that despite the fact
that they were branded as boilers by
the other convention, the delegates
they named would be seated in the
National convention.

But ONE AGENCY
Appropriations Committee RECON-
mends That ALI Pensions Be
Handled from Washington.
At GARFIELD'S SUGGESTION
Pensions Would Be Paid AS Promptly
and $225,oO0 Would Be Saved
Annually-Paid to Pensioners
in 1907, $138,03o,9s4.

Washington, Feb. 5-The house
committee on appropriations Tuesday
reported favorably the pension bill
for the fiscal year ending June ~,
1909. The bill as reported abolishes
the pension agencies located at Angus
ia. Maine; Boston, Buffalo, Chicago
Columbus, Ohio, Concord, n. H., Des
Moines, Detroit, indianapolis, Knox
vile, Tenn, Louisville, KY, Milwau-
kee, New York city, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, San Francisco and Topeka
and consolidates them in one central
distributing agency at Washington.
The radical change in the pension
agency system was decided upon by
the appropriations committee in ac'
cord with the recommendations OF
Secretary of the Interior Garfield and
Commissioner of Pensions Warner, az
ter exhaustive consideration in sub
committee. The secretary of the in
terror told the committee that under
this consolidation of the Is pension
agencies in one central agency $780,
900 would be saved to the government
in expenses in the first year of oper
alton and $225,000 annually thereaf-
ter; and that under the new system
all pensioners could be paid as
promptly as they are now paid by the
IS agencies, and without incon-
venience. The immediate saving will
be $6S,000 in salaries of pension
agents, $4,000 on account of rent of
the New York office, 100000 in clerk
hire. and $500 in cost of examination
and inspection of agencies.
In reporting the bill the committee
saws that it believes the consolida-
ton will result in economic execution
of the pension laws, and that the cost
per capita to pay pensioners will be
very materially lessened; that the in
tervals in the payment of pensions
after the first payment under the new
lsystem will be the same as now;
THAT there will be no serious, if any
inconvenience, to pensioners in re-
ceiving their pensions and in some
| cases payments will be expedited"
There was paid to 957,371 pension
ers in the last fiscal year the
total sum of $1SS, O3O,S94; and the to-
tai pensions paid for all wars and for
the regular establishment since the
foundation of the republic was 3d.

Leadvllle, Col, Feb. 6.-That full

ester of the United States, in the dis
cussion following the address assert
ed that millions of acres of land on

service first took charge of the Las
Animas reserve fully $500 worth of
timber was cut every day Illegally.
This, he said, had been stopped.
Forester Pollock, said that the state
ments of Fitton could be made of all
the forest reserves in the country.
