 Charleston claims that he is a car penter and that he is employed on one of the sky-scrapers of this city and that recently ha had occasion to enter place known as the Hermitage Club While there deputies working under Sherin Higdon came in and placed him and a number of other men under ar- rest and confined him in the county jail for several days and nights, great ly humiliating him.
 The petition alleges that the sheriff had no right to do this and the raid CTS warrants will be attacked

The Usual Consideration Is a

W. D. Ryan Who Is shouting For Taft And Sherman Has q Son Who is g Repabiican Empioye
 of. Congress.

Chicago. Oct so.-(speciai. )---Repub- lican papers announced Sunday with more or less display that w. D., Ryan. secretary of the United Mine Workers, would support Judge Taft for the Presidency. There are something like half dozen leaders of prominence who have turned their backs on Presidsnt Gompers, John Mitchell and other of ticials of the American Federation of Labor. in their decision to support a Democratic national ticket. The re- pudiation of the cause of labor by these trusted representatives of that orSanizAtion has Hiven much comfort to Republicans, but this desertion of a great cause has had the effect of rnak- ing workingmen more solid in the support of MT. Bryan
 The men In high places who have : deserted the cause of labor have been approached in different ways The President has. captured some with of flee, and others with flattefy. while trust interests have enlisted their share. Mir. Ryan. oE the United Mine Workers, has an heir on the payroll of Congress. who holds his position bx reason of the appointive power of Speaker Joseph G. Cannon. the arch army of labor, and who more than any other man is responsible for the defeat of iabor's legislative program. Every month MT. Ryan's son draws a fat check from the Federal government as an employe in the post office bureau of the House of Representatives. The defeat of Speaker Cannon and the election of a Democratic House would mean the removal of the son of the Secretary of the United Mine Workers from the Federal payroll. Naturally, MT. Ryan is in favor of the election of Judge Taft, Speaker Cannon, and the other avowed enemies of labor who hold high places in the Republican party.
 But a man whose heart is against the people who give him power has little influence Mir. Ryan sought the nomination for Congress in the 21st Illinois district. a district in which there are 10000 members of the or- ganization of which he is secretary. and yet they refused to intrust him with a congressional nomination.
 Mir Taft's following in Union Labor circles is largely of the Ryan type. and Is liked"
