LABOR IS BUCK|NG
Gompers Has Stirred Up Trou-
BILE for Himself by Bryan
Declaration.
HIS ADVICE is NOT GOOD.

AS time progresses there are num-
erous outspoken expressions of opinion
that show that the leading tradesmen
of Richmond resent the attempt of
Samuel Gompers to control the vote
of organized labor for William Jen-
nings Bryan. 1t is not SO much that
many of these laboring men are for
Taft or other political aspirants
they say, but it is because they dislike
to have the trades unions brought
into party politics. They do not rel
ish having the impression abroad that
the president of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor has any control over
of the engineers on the Indianapolis
division of the Pennsylvania said
that the unions believe that labor or
CARNATIONS are weakened and leopard
lied by whatever tends 70 align them
on any side of great party struggle
in the national campaign.
All the members Of trades unions
that have been visited state that the
men of the unions will pay very lit
tie attention to Mr.. Gompers as a po-
litical adviser and guide. They fee
that such work is out of its proper
sphere and that they will deal with his
appeals accordingly When they &C
to the polls they will go as individ'
uals and no parts of a business organ
ization. No man can control the
trades unions in politics. If that were
possible they would be far less use
full and successful in their field today
said one of the leaders in the printers
union yesterday.

Miss Lombard has been the idol OF

HANDLING Firearms.

1t is often asserted that the more one
handles firearms the greater his re-
spect for them. Proof of this is found
in the great scarcity of accidents on
well regulated rife ranges or trap
shooting grounds. Millions of shots
are fired annually in competitions at
flying targets without accidents of a
serious matter. and on the rife ranges
where group and individual shooting
Is carried on at the same time enough
lead Is sent into the backstops to an

all the cases that have come within
notice during the past quarter Of a
century-and they have been remarka-
bly, few in number-those who have
been injured violated all the rules of
safety and were themselves to blame.

ANNEXATION MATTER IN coUN
ellis HANDS.

Under the circumstances. tbs
Chamber of Commerce acted wisely
Monday evening in deciding to ask
the city council to undertake the
task of securing the necessary sta
tis;ical data upon which to base an
opinion concerning the desirability OF
extending the limits Of the city. Az
Mr.. Barrett stated on the floor, any
definite step looking toward the an
nexation of suburban territory must
be taken only upon official informa'
ton. Information secured by the
chamber would be of service only In
aiding the chamber to base an opin
ion.
The chamber was not in position
to pass upon the question Monday
night. The committees report con-
tanned no information, and the body
was no nearer q solution Of the prob
able than it was before the commit
B.; tee was appointed.
No one openly opposes the sscur
ing of the data which must be had
in order to consider the extension
question intelligently. and as 1t will
take some time to compile this data.
even these who say that this is not
a proper time to agitate the matter
hardly will endeavor to prevent the
council from acceding to the reques:
OF the chamber.
II the city will not be benefited by
an extension, then there will be nc
extension. But the public would like
10 know the facts In the case.
