william r. Hearst unpacked last night
a few more letters written by John d.
Archbold Of the Standard Oil Company
to two national legisla ators-the late Sena-
tor William j. sewell Of New Jersey and
Congressman John j, Gardner Of Atlantic.
Mr., Hearst read the letters at meeting
at Cooper Union organized by the Inde-
pendenoe party for labor mon. There
were enough labor men and Cooper Union
regulars 10 pack the hall.
When Mr.. Hearst arrived at 10 o'clock
he got noisy welcome which was helped
along by the band for several minutes.
He said he wanted to show the working
man that he was sincere and he would
prove IL by his record. He referred 10
how when he left college he helped union
ize his paper In San Francisco. He had
left the Democratic party because he had
loSt confidence in II and he never had had
confidence In the Republican party.
The working man never got any thing out
Of either the Democratic or Republican
party. He was a member Of the Con-
gress Committee on Labor and he knew
what he was talking about. Mr.. Hearst
said
was on the Labor Comm ttee In Con-
iRress. heard MIR. Gompers come before
that Labor Committee and state that for
twenty years through Democratic and
Republican Congresses alike he had been
trying to get certain labor measures con-
sidered and had never yet been able to do
SO. Mr. Gardner OF New Jersey is the
present chairman Of that committee and
] have never in my life seen q man more
angry than Mr.. Gardner was when Mr..
Rainey Of Illinois and Mr. Hunt Of Missouri
and myself succeeded by trick in forcing
the eight hour bill through the Labor Com
mittee.
make no charge OF corruption whatever
against Mr.. Gardner. But I am afraid
that too close association with privilege
seeking corporations makes him Indifferent
to the demands OF plain, everyday work.

my DEAR SENATOR: We are Informed that
IL is the purpose Of the industrial COM
mission which has been taking testimony
Tor a period Of several months regarding
industrial corporations to make pre-
liminary report at an early day to Con-
gress which will probably serve as text
for discussion there.
1T seems very important that this report
should be wisely and conservatively shaped
Representative John J. Gardner Of At
lantic City, N. j.. is q member OF that COM
mission and we think 1t very desirable in
deed that you should have word with him
on the subject, We have no doubt from
what We know Of him and coming from the
locality he does that he will treat the sub
ject judicially and senslbly. but as I say
il seems very desirable 10 be as sure as
possible.
e-Trustins you can find an opportunity
Of speaking with him on the subject and
with kind regards. am. very truly yours,
JOHN D. ARcHBoLD.'

MIR. Gompers says that although the old
parties have been hostile or indifferent In
the past he has some hopes in the Demo-
cratic party In the present.
4 don't share Mr.. Gompers's childlike con-
and not upon theories.
Mr.. Hearst then renewed the attack
on managers Of the Democratic national
campaign. accusing them Of unfriendli-
ness TO labor. He read affidavits from
labor men in Terre Haute declaring that
James z. Lamb. the vice-chairman Of
the Democratic national committee. as
attorney for q street railway company
had fought union men. hr. Hearst con-
