DOESN'T AeREE WITH G0MpERS
PRESIDENT OF TYPOGRAPHICAL
UNION GIVES VIEWS.
Says When Justice Guides Employer
and Employe, Then Farewell
to Labor Injunction.

President Frank a. Kidd of Columbia
Typographical Union. No. 1O1. takes ex-
ception to the latest effort by Samuel
Gompers to bring the labor vote into line
for William ]. Bryan.
Now that Mr.. Gompers has announced
his program" says he, II do not know
that anything should be said. However.
members of unions. like other citizens.
will exercise their individual preference
at the polls and are more likely to be
guided by their party predictions than
by the vague and uncertain eventualities
of a political potpourri prepared by Of
ficers of the Federation of Labor
ITO attach the American trade union
movement TO the democratic ship as a
sort of dinky would be offensive to the
membership In general and result in
dividing the union into two warning poiiti-
cal factions without benefit to the party
sought to be boosted and inevitable injury
to labor.
If Chairman Mack is to finance the
democratic workingmens political move
ment. then doubtless Chairman Hitchcock
will do likewise for the republican con-
tlngent. and in the end the votes will be
cast about as they would have been and
should have been had no thousands upon
thousands of dollars been recklessly ex-
pended in what many will believe an eff.
ioit W cofIupt large pOTtlOn VI the
electorate.
Votes Will Decide.
I'm all probability the next President
of the United States will be elevated to
that high position by a majority of the
votes OF his cOuntrymen If Mr.. Taft is
the recipient Of that majority are we to
conclude that improper and unjustif1able
injunctions laid against labor are Endorsed
by the American electorate? He must be
a purblind and prejudiced partisan indeed
who can hold such opinion. Should Mr..
Bryan be chosen. are we to assume tina t
with his inauguration the writ of injunc-
ton in labor disputes is to disappear? He
is most profligate of confidence who can
think so.
But why dispute further about the
matter? The fact remains that unionism
is not political question. nor can unions
as a body be swept into any political
camp. Republican workmen believe that
the wage scale Of our artisans. the high
standard Of living of American mechan-
les. the comforts and cOnveniences that
are ours and which are as unknown as
they are impossible to the workers of
other countries. are the result of gov
ernmental policies-party principles. If
you will-faithfully and fearlessly car
ried out for the benefit of all the people
These material benefits are appreciated as
the working mans richest heritage and
will not be willingly relinquished for an
ignis fatuus issue that would surely lead
to industrial and financial decadence.

EXCURSIONS.

inexpensive outings of the scope and
character of the Norfolk and Washing
ton Steamboat Companys weekend
trips are scarce and hence we'll appre-
ciated by those who must secure their
vacations by such excursions. Tickets
giving two nights on the splendid steam
ers and from one to three days at the
Hotel Chamberlin. Old Point Comfort,
cover stateroom expenses and full ac-
commodations at the hotel. the cost
varying with the time to which the pas
senger limits himself.
At Old Point Comfort there is much to
attract visitors at this season in particu-
lar. A couple of days can be spent with
great enjoyment hunting in the famous
tidewater district surrounding. and there
are innumerable places of historic interest
within easy reaching distance of the
Chamberlin. Fort Monroe is promi-
nent among them. Fridays and Satur-
are made. steamers leaving foot of It'll
street at $50 pm. Tickets are sold at
the uptown ticket office, 7O5 14th street,
exclusively.
AS the season approaches its close
Chevy Chase Lake appears to be more
and more the mecca of pleasure seekers
in the evening. The weather rarely inter-
.feres with things at 1.-The lake" 1t is so
handy to town; there is never any
danger of being ..marooned'' miles from
nowhere. as visiting other suburban
places in unsettled weather entails. and
the car service is always to be depended
upon.
Splendid concerts by the Marine Band
section are nightly features that never
appear to grow less enjoyable, while OF
course there is no place to go for dancing
like Chevy Chase Lake. No charge is
made for this privilege. and the fine
Marine Band music, with the we'll kept
floor constitutes an irresistible cOmbina-
ton for hundreds nightly. OF the many
other amusements possibly the illus
minated riding track Is the most liked.
Here are saddle ponies for adults and
burro teams for Juveniles. small fee
giving ride around the entire eighth Of
annie track.
When it is too cool to remain out on
deck the crowds that go down nightly on
the jamestown excursions seek the dane
ing deck and the comfortable palm gar
den. Both are commodious enough for
good-sized crowds. and the splendid or
chestra serves to keep passengers in
pleasant mood throughout the trip. even
when it is unseasonably cool outside.
Refreshments Of all kinds are served at
popular prices in the palm garden.
Leaving at I, the jamestown is usually
back after her forty-mle trip on the
river by II. Tickets can he secured at
tho Norfolk and Washington excursion
wharf. foot of 18th street.
One of the most delightful trips mag
Unable is the ride down the river on the
steamer st. Johns to Colonial Beach a
resort that has become famous for its
bathing, Grabbing. fishing. etc. One can
leave in the morning and be home at
night. II he wishes, but the attractions OF
| this resort make such stay at the
beach all too short and a quick return
Invariably results.

BOSTON MECCA FOR VETERANS
SOLDIERS OF WAR WITH, SPAIN
START FOR THE HUB.
Fifth National Convention of United
Organization to Begin Next Tues
day-Candidates for Office.

The fifth national encampment of the
United Spanish War Veterans is to be
held in Boston. Mass, September l. . and
s. and unusual preparations have been
made by the national commander n-chief,
the department of Massachusetts and the
city of Boston to entertain the young
veterans and their relatives and friends.
Announcement is made that the encamp-
ment will greatly exceed all previous en-
campments In attendance and interest.
The principal interest at this time CEN
ters on the Office of commander in-chief.
The candidates who have thus far Of
ticially announced themselves are Past
Junior Vice Commander in Chief Charles
w. Newton of New Haven. Conn. and
Past Department Commander Charles A.
Simmons of Rochester, n. Y. 1t Is I'M
derstood that Admira! Coghlan. U.S.N.:
Commander Freed OF Ohio, Capt. Rich
mond Pearson Hobscn of Alabama, Past
Department Commander John Lewis
Smith of Washington. D. c.. and the
present conlmander-in- chief. Mai Walter
Scott Hale Of Boston. Mass, may also be
candidates.
The principal matter to be considered
by the veterans will probably be the
status of colored men in the organization.
Section Of the rules and regulations Of
the L. S. ". W, 1907, in defining the
duties of the commander in chief states
He may. with the approval OF the coun-
Gil of administration. when 1t shall ap-
pear expedient. create depa rtments COM
posed of camps of negro members within
state or territory wherein department
organization exists, said departments Of

negro department of (name) state or
territory
Commander-in-Ch Hale was the first
to attempt to straighten out the tangle,
beginning with the Department of the
District OF Columbia.
The colored veterans in Washington de-
mahded recognition by the local depart
ment. which the latter refused. The COL
ored veterans appealed to the command
in-chief, who paid two official visits to
Washington, and after taking much tes-
timOny finally induced the colored vet
Grams to withdraw their demand, &C
knowledge that the wording Of the char
ter, in so far as 1t contained the words.
No. ,. Department Of the District OF
Columbia" were inserted through an
error of the engrossing clerk. and that
they expressly desired to compose a camp
to be independent in form and to deal
directly with national headquarters, thus
having no official connection with the To-
Cal white department"

Conditions Are Reversed.

In Virginia. however. conditions are ex-
actly reversed. The colored veterans or
ganized first and secured the Department
of Virginia charter: When the white men,
bers Of that state later organized several
camps they were confronted with the
problem of fraternal afi1liation, with all
of their superior officers colored. The ma
tional rules and regulations provide for
only one department charter in a state or
territory. Virginia wants the national
encampment to settle the question. to
have the colored veterans form a pro-
visiOnal department.. or be permitted to
form one Of their own.
