BIG ANARCHIST ARMY
and SUFFRAGISTS BESEIGE
PROSPERITY congress

New York, Aug. 1.-two rival
armies descended upon meeting of
the Commercial Travellers Interstate
Prosperity congress here today First
came horde of grim looking men
under the leadership of Alexander
Berkman, the professed anarchist, who
some years ago shot III. c. Frick, mil
lionaire, after the Homestead steel
strike riots.
It was necessary for the police to
dispeI the army" and Berkman an
grilly reproached his followers as a
"lot of spineless idiots for not op-a
posing the police. Berkman and his
followers said that they represented
10000 unemployed workingmen, and
they came to demand participation in
the prosperity congress.
Hardly less formidable was the sec
ond army" for it was composed Of
determined suffragists. They also
demanded recognition by the prosper
ity congress. The police were not
called upon to dispel this army" but
diplomacy was used.
Aside from these Interruptions the
congress was considered a great sue
cess. Speakers from all sections of
the country told of prosperity in their
districts, and it was urged upon men,
bers of the commercial travellers Or
ganization that they talk prosperity
wherever they go. r;s
After the meeting had been in ses-
sion for some time, a committee from
unemployed workingmen asked to be
admitted This was, after Berkman
and his followers had been dispeled.
The committee asked that a-resolu-
ton it had prepared be presented. /.
The resolution was accepted, gut
not presented to the congress. It
stated that the; most urgent need of
the worF;ngmen was food and lodg.
ing, and that while there was de-
mand for workingmen in the western
states, the men had been out of work
so long that they did not have cloth,
ing or tools or money for Transports
ton to the waiting positions.
Practically every large city in the
country was represented at the meet
ing.

ROCK ISLAND ROAD AND OPERATORS AGREE

Judge Knapp declined to make
known the exact terms Of the set
tlement until they can be forward
ed, which will be tomorrow. The
controversy grew out of the insist
ence of the officials of the railroad
that the working hours of operators
should be split, while the union Of
ficials contend that their interpreta-
tion of the act was that the men
should work nine consecutive hours
a day. The Interpretation placed by
the railroad officials upon the act,
the union officials insisted, would re-
suit in a reduction of the force of
