Labor Got A Stone.

bread and they gave us a stone"
said President Samuel Gompers,
of the American Federation of
Labor, in discussing the treat
ment given organized labor by
the recent republican national
convention.
''The plank adopted on the
subject Of injunctions," M r.
Gompers said, is nothing more
nor less than the affirmation for
a statute law authorising the
issuance o f injunctions. Our
contention is that there is no law
upon the statute books authoriz-
ing or warrenting the issuance OF
these extraordinary injunctiens.

no labor dispute exists between
workmen and employers. They
are only issued when such a dis

walk of life, where there is no,
labor dispute.
I'VE hold that the law dos
not change because a dispute
arises between employers an d
workmen. All we ask is to lie
regarded upon a m equality be-
fore the law with all other citi-
zens. We ask no immunity for
any one guilty of wrongdoing,
whether he be workman or other,
but we must insist upon the con-
stitutional guarantee of equality
before the law. We will be sat-
SIZED with nothing else.
''The decision of the supreme
court in the Danbury 1atters'
case declared the labor organiza-
tons, trusts, when, as matter
of fact, labor organizations are
voluntary in character, and form
ed for the purpose of protecting
and advancing personal rights.
The labor organizations deal in
no product, whether of the hand
or of the land; they are simply
associations to protect and adj
vance the interests of men and
women who aim to conserve their
personal rights, their personal
freedom. The trusts are combi-
nations of men dealing with the
products of labor. The workmen
and their power to labor can not
be distinguished from each other.
A trust can dispose of it's ma
terial products, move and trans
port them to any point on earth
without affectiong the personal
rights and the human liberty of
the owners of labor products.
"You can't determine the rules
governing the labor of working
people without affecting their
personalities, their bodies, their
minds, their very souls. We
asked the republican convention
to declair in essence for the en-
actment of the law granting
human right and human freedom,
and it wholly failed to meet the
requirements or a n lntOleraDle
and unjust a n d un-American
situation.
In this instance, no relief was
either declared or promised. The
other measures which we asked
t h e republican convention to
adopt are of a material character.
The two which | have mentioned
Involves principles of justice and
the American conception of the
constitutionally guaranteed free

Good For Banks as
Well as Depositors.

Everybody knows that the
Democratic idea of the Govern.
ment guarantee for bank depos-
itors is a good thing for the de
positors; the safer you make 9
mans money in bank the more
comfortable he will feel and the
more money he will put there.
But we believe that it is just
rs good for the banks as it is for
the depositors. James B. Fogan,
the President of the First Nation
al Bank of Chicago, says in a
phamphlet that he has written on
the subject that the losses last
year to National Bank depositors
was one twenty-sixth of one per
cent, this is not quite four cents
on every hundred dollars. Using
four cents on the hundred dollars
as a basis lets see how much the
banks would have to pay to the
government to secure the guar
antee Gifts depositors against loss.
It would be $4,000 on $500. 1000
deposits. A bank that now has
$500, 900 would only have to pay
the government $120 90 a year.
This would unqestionably be the
cheapest insurance possible. Fire
insurance on property worth
$500, 600 would not be less than
$4,000. Burglary insurance,
which a great many banks carry,
on the same amount of money
would be 81, 200.
Banks insure their buildings
against fire and the money in
their vaults against burglary and
pay many times the rate that
they would have to pay to insure
their deposits against loss. If
the bank building is not burnt by
fire the bank gets no return from
it's insurance. If the safe is not
blown up and the vault is not
robbed the bank gets nothing
from the burglary insurance, but
for insuring it's depositors it
makes an investment which will
pay a handsome profit. Any
bank with 100000 deposits
would be perfectly willing to pay
$4,000 a year for a guarantee
that there would be no run on it
by it's depOsitOrS. This is a pro-
lection they are certain to secure
by the Government guaranteeing
their deposits. But there is still
another way in which the banks
will be materially helped. 1t will
swell their deposits enormously.
1t will put into banks million of
dollars that are now hid away
and make available for the bust
ness of the country it's entire cir
ulation. If it should increase a
banks deposits which are now
$500, 900 by $50, 900, the bank by
loaning $40, 900 of this at six per
cent would actually make 81, 400
on its investment of $4,000 for
Government guarantee. 1t GER
tainly is a good thing for the
banks as well as the depositors

Facts About the Capitol.

A walk over to the national capito
reveals to you an ediice we'll worth
seeing, and only after spending some
time in walking through it can you
gain a conception Of what the domes.
tic life of the capitol is. For instance.
consider that 1t contains 40 rooms
which are used for Office, committee
and storage purposes; $40 windows
$50 doorways, 14O fireplaces. 261 wash
basins and sinks, IA bathtubs. IS ven

1000 horsepower of boilers, 8 steam
pumps. a lighting service equivalent tc
25,000 incandescent lamps Of sixteen
candlepower each and over 14.OOC
square feet of skylights. This is al.

BUNGALOW FOR BOYS.
Blk Brothers, Aged Six to Fifteen, Are
to Live by Themselves.

~ 1'V Wy
William Jeffrey. a real estate mar of
Berkeley Heights. N. j.. who is the ia
Their of six ons ranging in age from
six to fifteen years. is building a one
story bungalow in the rear of his own
home for the exclusive use of his boys
and given over entirely to their care.
There the boys are to live. study and
play, and there they can trough house"
to whatever extent they please. says
their father, but they are only to enter
their parents house on invitation, and
their parents in return will call on
them.
The bungalow is to be equipped with
movable hunks and with lockers,
where the boys will keep their guns
baseball bats. tennis rackets and other
things which they formerly left about
the house. says the New York Times
There is only one room, but that is to
be divided into a number of smaller
ones by sliding Greens. In winter
they will get their heat from Il big
stove, Which they must look after
themselves.
In fact, they are to do all the house
work. They are to make their own
beds. sweep the floor and put away
their own things. Mr.. Jeffrey SAYS
that in this way he believes they will
acquire a sense of responsibility and Il
spirit of self reliance such as no other
training, not even boarding school. will
give them.
The six boys are watching the prog
ress of the building with the anticipa-
ton Of much pleasure.
"Of course" said Mr.. Jeffery, Sin or
der to have the bungalow kept neat
and clean there must be some super
vision. l shall inspect their quarters
every day myself, and any neglect
will be visited with fitting discipline.
This idea so much lessons the worries
and cares of a mother that it ought to
be taken up by other persons who have
large families"

New Orleans, April 27.-With about 325 newly made graves distributed broadcast oyer nearly the entire width of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, the dead in Fridays tornado had been mostly cared for tonight and it was possible to say with accuracy that the death list in these states would not exceed $50.
 The few who may yet be added to the fatalities are possibly score of the most seriously injured, not in hospitals throughout these states. The remaining injured numbering about 1000, were re- ported on the road to recovery.
 The gravity of todays situation centered in the problems of the living, namely, hunger and shelter. At least one stricken town was reported to have eaten literally it's last meal al noon today, and was re- lying on charity for its supper. For tunately the great territory oyer which the stricken districts were scattered left an opportunity for the unharmed neigh bors interspersed everywhere throughout these districts to furnish relief more quickly and effectively than would have been the case had the disaster been con- fined to one place. Cities, little and big, on all sides of the tornado belt, made rapid preparations today to ship supplies and money into the tornado district New Orleans started a money subscription and also shipped food to Amite, the worst damaged town in Louisiana.
 Amite was the town which reported it's food supply practically exhausted today Otherwise the little town was making rapid progress toward rehabilitation, the primary feature of the restoration being the reopening of streets by dragging trees, roofs and other wreckages off road ways. The churches, everyone of which was wrecked, were among the first edi- fees to rise in the form of temporary pavilons above the ruins.
 At Purvis, Miss today cook stoves were about the most valuable assets in the community. few of them had been resurrected from the ruins and under the direction of the authorities their use was loaned first to one family and then to another.
 Purvis was one of the few communities still reporting fresh lists of injured and dying, who were found in the outlying

MEXICAN TROOPS
 ARE CALLED BACK

Mexico City, April 27.-Batteries of mounted artillery which left this city os- tensibly for the Guatemalan border, were ordered back to the capital and are again in the city. It is denied that the troops will leave Vera Cruz, Oxaca and Juchi- tan for the Guatemalan frontier.
 Enrique Greet arrived in this city to- day and called upon President Diaz and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mariscal. He stated that he has received orders to proceed to Central America with Com missioner Buchanan of the United States. President Daz called a special meeting of his cabinet this morning, but noth- ing of what transpired has become pub lie.
 It is officially denied that Mexico will be party to joint intervention in Cen tral American affairs, though it is a known fact that Cabrera's action and the consequent chaos in Guatemala is causing great concern here.
 A dispatch received here today says that Honduran troops are massing on the Guatemalan frontier
 According to advices, Cabrera is contin- uing his work of revenge and orders for executions have not ceased Nothing can be officially learned of the situation here, as none will talk.
 President Diaz and his cabinet were in session for more than two hours today and it is regarded that the Guatemalan crisis was under discussion. A dispatch received here states that the Honduras troops are mobilizng on the Guatemalan frontier.

THE REPUBLICANS
 HAVE USUAL ROW

Meridian, Miss, April 27.-(Special.)- The republicans of this, the Fifth coll gressional district, met here today and split in half after a red-hot fight, both the Roosevelt administration and the Foraker followers attempting to control and finally each faction named delegates to the national convention and presl- dential electors
 The Roosevelt delegates are: w. J.. Price, white, and T. J. Wilson, negro, as convention delegates. J. P. Blount, white, was named as presidential elector This faction indorsed the present repub- lican administration and l.. B. Moseley of Jackson as national committeeman or republican referee of Mississippi. No congressional candidate was nominated by this faction to oppose the democratic ticket
 The Foraker followers named J. C. Hill and Dr. E. F. Howard. both negroes, as delegates to the national convention and D. D. Lucius of Clarke county as presi- dential elector. The negro lawyer, J.. C. Hill, was also nominated as republican candidate for Congress from this district for the seat now held by Adam Byrd

REGENT DISTURBANCES
 MAY SPOIL PEACE PLANS

ences continued, the cruiser Albany was dispatched from San Francisco to Sallna Cruz, there to take aboard the commits sioners should the trip be decided on and to convey them to different Central American capitals.
 It was just as this trip was being con sidered by President Daz that the Gaute- malan situation was reported to have substantially siFcn indication of assuming serious importance. Should the long eX- isting tendency toward friction between Guatamela and Mexico become active, 1t seems apparent that Mexico will not par ticipate iH he peace commission. On the other casa the reports from the Mexican capital indl ate that the troops have been dispatched No the Guatamelan frontier.
 This move is regarded with concern at the state department, as war at this time would tend to undo the entire work Of the peace conference and leave the five republics again subject to the turbulent tendency of the past.
 1t was stated at the department here today that as yet the mission of MT. Buchanan and Minister Creel had not been declared off.
