PEACE PARTY
IN MINORITY
House Authorizes Two New Battle
ships-BurtOn Opposes
More.

Washington, Jan. %. = Exactly as
reported by the committee, the naval
program for the fiscal year 1910 was
adopted by the house of representa-
tives, and the naval appropriation
bill was passed. The opponents OF
the navy increase feature of the bill
found themselves in a hopeless mi
nority. The only vital alteration
made in the measure was the strik-
ing out of the provision restoring ma
rines to naval vessels. The aggre-
gate amount appropriated by the
bill is 100000.
AS has been the case in the past,
the increase in the naval estimate
gave rise to extended and heated de-
bate, IN which members were accord
ed an opportunity to air their views
of the Japanese question. The peaca
advocates were much in evidence I'M
opposition to such increase, while the
adherents of the proposition were
alive at all times to every move
made to cut down the number of vess
sells authorized.
Calling attention to what he said
was the alarming increase in the ma
val expenditures, Mr.. Burton in OPP
posing the naval increase inquired:l
What nation on earth is threatening
u.s." The periodical war Nscare, he
declared, occurred whenever the ma
wal bill was up for consideration.
"One time" he said, lit is Japan, and
the next time some other nation, and
they will pass away like phantoms OF
the air."
That which the present congress
should do, ne contended, was to pro-
vide for the rational needs of the
people, and not to guard against
groundless fears of phantoms of tbs
imagination" The United States, he
said, may trust the traditional friend
ship of Ja0an; we may trust the fact
that she is in no condition from an
economic standpoint to wage war
with great nation; we may trust
that she will not engage in an agrees
sive movement which is unjustifable
against a powerful nation of the eau
casian race. After admitting the
possible evil effects of race prejudice,
he declared that all influences point
ed to "the morning dawn of peace
and accord"
Continuing, he declared that NO
great contention of the United States
had ever been accomplished by a
great navy. He instanced the secur-
ing of the open door in China, which.
he said, would have been menaced by
sending battleships to the orient.
The nations of the earth, Mr.. Bur-
ton said, could not go on Gin this mad
rush for naval expansion" The bur-
den, he declared, IF not already in
tolerable, would be so in a very few
years" He urged that the United
States take the lead in keeping down
ornaments.
An amendment by Mr.. Bacon
(Ark.) providing for one battleship
was defeated-SO to 16O-as was also
an identical one offered later by Mr..
Burton co., the vote standing 108 to
158. No other amendment bling Of
fered, the negative action on the
amendments had the effect of retain
ing in the bill the two battleships
provision.

JOHN MITCHELL
GIVEN OVATION
Made Hero of Worlds Largest Labor
UniOn-Appreciates the
Honor.

Indianapolis, Jan. 23-When John
Mitchell, former president of the
Mine Workers of America, appeared
on the stage at Tomlinson hall, the
thirteen hundred delegates went wild
with enthusiasm. There was a storm
of cheers and many of the delegates
wept from intense emotion. Seldom
has such a scene been witnessed in
a convention, and John Mitchell was
made the hero of the largest labor
organization in the world
Mr.. Mitchell, who was deeply
moved, came forward to the edge of
the platform and said: II feel keenly
sensitive to the reception which you
have given me this day. 1t would
seem that at least in a miners con-
vention former leader of working
people loses none of his luster be-
cause he is sentenced to jail"
He was interrupted by another
thunderous burst of applause. When
the tumult had subsidized, Mr.. Mitch
ell began a long speech dealing with
the condition of the organization. but
principally with what the sentence to
Jail imposed upon him, Samuel Com
pers and Frank Morrison by Judge
Wright of the District of Columbia,
and his conception of it's significance
to the cause of organized labor and
the freedom Of speech. His address
frequently was broken by shouts of
applause from his audience, which
hung intent upon every word.
Mr.. Mitchell pictured what he con-
sidered the injustice of a system by
which the constitutional rights of
free speech and a free press were
denied and by which men could be
deprived OF their liberty without a
trial by jury. He repudiated nothing
that he had said or written in his
book in the past concerning the duty
of resistance of any order unjustly
depriving people of these constitu-
tional rights
He denied the charges made that
AoDOA ms AhCA WISH opCCldI pIINlleSCS
under the law, but he declared that
they do wish rights guaranteed by
the constitution to all men. He
declared that no one decried law VIC
lation more than he himself. He said
the Wright decision only emphasized
the need of legislation that will Sc
cure to every citizen the right of trial
by jury before being sent to Jail.
P. ]. McLester, a delegate from
Springfield, moved that a petition be
prepared, addressed to President
Roosevelt and protesting against the
Wright decision. 1t is to be signed
by every delegate and officer in the
convention.
The convention voted $500 for the
defense Of Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison. and specified that fur
Their financial aid would be given if
necessary.
Samuel GOmpers sent the following
message to the convention: please
convey to the delegates fraternal
greetings and best wishes for a most
successful convention. Now is the
time that tries mems souls. Now is
the time to more thoroughly organize
and solidify the ranks of labor. Stand
true for the cause of justice and hui
man freedom"

SEND CHEERING MESSAGE
Mine Workers Tell Gompers to "Stay
In the Came"


Washington, Jan. 23.-"Stay in the
game" flashed the United Mine Work
ers Of America in a message from
Indianapolis to President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor.
The message referred to the fight of
the Federation of Labor officials in
the Bucks Stove and Range company
contempt case, in which an appeal is
now pending before the District of
Columbia court of appeals from the
sentences imposed on Messrs. Com
pers, Mitchell and Morrison by JUS
tice Wright of the District supreme
court. The telegram read:
Thirteen hundred and fifty dele
gates attending the thirtieth annual
convention extend fraternal greet
ings, appropriated $500 for present
needs and instructed the executive
board to furnish more when needed.
Stay in the game. Three hundred
thousand black diamond artists are
with you in this fight to a finish to
