NEW PRESIDENT
Says Kirby Was Selected Be-
cause of His Opposition to
Labor

New York, May 26-The recent ar
raignment of organized labor made
here in the course of his speech of ac-
ceptance by John Kirby of Dayton,
Ohio, newly elected president of the
| National Association of Manufactur-
ers. is made the subject of condem-
natory article by John Mitchell, form
er president of the United Mine Work.
ers of America. published in the cur
rent issue of the National Civic Feder-
alton Review.
Mr.. Mitchell quotes Mr.. Kirby as
saying that he has been elected to the
presidency Of the National Association
of Manufacturers. not on account Of
his ability nor on account of his ma
tional reputation. but because men,
bers of the association knew where he
stood on the labor question. He then
goes on to illustrate where Mr.. Kir-
by stands on this question by con-
trasting his utterances on the subject
of organized labor with those of Presi-
dent Taft, Pope Leo Kill. Cardinal
Manning. Gladstone. the late Mark
Hanna. Potter Palmer. Wendell Phil
lips. the late Bishop Potter and Mel
vile E. ingalls,.
From this parallel, Mr.. Mitchell de-
duces that the only truthful and sane
declaration made by the newly chos-
en- spokesman of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers is that in
which he says: II have not been
selected as your president on account
of my ability"
"Paradoxical as it may appear"
concludes Mr.. Mitchell, "the represen-
tatives of this employers association,
in one breath decry and denounce
what they term class divisions and
class hatreds,' and in the next breath
malign and berate their fellow citi-
zens who are workingmen, and all
other groups in society in sympathy
with the legitimate purposes and high
ideals of the labor movement. They
claim and proclaim the right and ne
cessity of organization among employ
ers. vet deny to workingmen the
right or organization and combina-
tion. They prate about law and Or
der and yet advocate violence and an
archy they suggest the use of the
cannon as means Of dispensing the
working men: they malign and ira
duce the great majority of the en-
plOHeIS OI ldUOT WHO refuse 10 JOIN
them in carrying forward their un-
holy and un-American designs to de-
stroy the organized labor movement:
and to cap the climax of their incon-
sistency they impugn the motives and
question the intelligence Of the re-
ligious. educational and philanthropic
institutions Of our country simply be-
cause these institutions have opened
their doors to the organized labor
movement and have listsened respect-
fully to the claims made in behalf of
the working men and women whose
brain and Drawn have contributed in
no small degree to the commercial.
intellectual and moral supremacy OF
the nation.
How much better would it be for
ourselves. how much more would 1t
contribute to the honor and glory of
our common country. if these gentle
men of the National Association of
Manufacturers would examine with
open minds and intelligent discern
ment. the real purpose. policy and
philosophy of the American labor
movement

Chicago. May ga slight earth
quake shock, lasting only a few sec

and the contiguous territory, begin
ming at S:41:30 o'clock this morning.
The early reports covered the terri
tory from Springfield, ILL.,, through
Davenport, Iowa, and Janesville, Wis.

Springfield. ILL.,, and from GAINESVILLE,
Wis, Davenport and Dubuque, Iowa,
and Muskegon and Kalamazoo, Mich.
Throughout the territory affected,
the only damage reported was of a
minor nature. Several small fires
were started by the overturning of
stoves and many chimneys were razed.
Aurora. ILL.,, is said to have suffered
particularly in this respect.
In this city the shock was generally
felt but in the great majority of cases
was attributed to ordinary causes such
as the passage of street cars, elevated
trains. blasting in distant quarters or
the passage of structural iron on the
big trucks through the streets. 1t was
not until the newspapers made their
appearance with the story that the
public learned that they had passed
through the natural phenomenon.
The damage in Chicago and else
where was confined to broken dishes
and ornaments shaken from mantle
pieces o rtables. No fire of material
consequence were reported. In the
outskirts of the city several small fires
were starte dbut were extinguished
by the householders themselves. Dur
ing the period Of vibration it was al
most impossible to get correct phone
connection owing to the swaying of
the wire sagainst each other,

The Halloween warriors were out
en- masse last night and the police
were not little bit troubled by
their pranks. Plate glass windows
were covered with soap and many
glass fronts were cracked or broken.
Never before In the history of the
Lefty has there been such a destruction
of property during halloween.
The police are expecting more
trouble this evening. AS result Of
the destruction last night, the safety
board has instructed the chief of
police to commission a number OF
plain clothes men to guard the busi-
ness and resident parts of the city.
The police are thoroughly disgusted
over the conduct of the youngsters
and a number of the boldest distur-
bers last evening were placed in the
city prison. It 10 expected that the
city prison will be taxed to its ca
paclty this evening.
Among the most dangerous pranks
practiced last night, was that of roll
ing large powders in the center OF
the street car tracks. One particularly
large rock was placed directly I'm
front OF a local car on east Center
street. The car crashed into the
bowlder before the motorman had no

WOOD BLOCK PAVEMENT
TOOK SUDDEN RISE

Yesterday morning a portion of the
wood block pavement on Queen street,
almost in front of the Shipping Com
missioner s Office, suddenly rose and
formed high arch impeding traffic and
attracting crowd. Road Supervisor
Wilson got busy and took out the. old
blocks and substituted new ones. The
sudden elevation of the blocks is said
to have been caused by their expansion
owing to the heat and because the
blocks were laid too close together
originally.

though with the reservation that his
action was not to be taken as estab
fishing precedent but merely because
Kinney had referred to Negoro IS arti.
Gle as he did in his opening statement.
Wanted Japan to Interfere.
The article was then read to the
jury and proved to be an argument,
not at all iamboyant, in favor of high
er wages. 1t was, however, rather
hair-brained piece of work, the Japa-
nese government being called upon To
take the side of the laborers and de-
mand of the United States government
that the agreement prohibiting the
going of Hawaii Japanese from the is
lands to the mainland be abrogated.
On the conclusion of the reading,
Kinney professed himself as glad to
have the article before the jury. saw
ing he had never read it himself.
LightfOot responded that he was more
than ever anxious to have the article
in evidence. The Judge, with sigh
of relief, said he was glad both sides
were so well satisfied.
Negoro then continued his recital
of the events leading up to the strike.
He said that after the publication of
this article, the Jill had continued to
print articles and editorials urging a
higher wage movement. Finally eireu-
lars were sent out calling a meeting at
the Asahi theater for October 81 or
November /. Only thirteen or four
teen were present, the meeting not be-
ing intended as mass meeting. The

way. Maxine was not present. A
representative of Mr.. Sheba IS papers
was present, and the Shinpo and the
Jiyu contained accounts of the meet
ing.
Sheba Brave Man.
In this connection Negoro paid a
tribute to his enemy, Sheba. The
Chronicle, he said, has changed its
policy about seven times since the
strike movement began, but Mr.. She
ba had been consistent. cit is a
credit TO Mr.. Sheba,' said Negoro,
"that he has consistently opposed the
higher wage movement in the face of
overwhelming opposition, for he is the
only Japanese who is not in favor of
the movement. He is brave man, a
man of courage,
At the meeting it was decided that
some sort of an organization was nee
essary to bring about higher wages. It
was also decided that an effort must
be made to secure the support of all
the japanese papers.
At this point the court adjourned
for the day, with Negoro still on the
stand.

prosecution, and Lightfoot began his
defense by making his opening speech
to the jury. He promised that he would
show them that the Honolulu Higher
Wage Association is only one of several
similar organizations, the aims of all
of which are identieal-the securing of
higher wages for the japanese laborers.
:" We will show you,'f he said, "'that
these various higher wage associations
assist one another SO far as the provId-
ing of food and lodging are concerned,
but that otherwise they are separate
and distinct organizations. When they
wish assistance or advice from the He-
nolulu organization, they send for it,
but there is no interdependent relation
such as would make them be guided or
controlled by the Honolulu Higher
Wage Association
"We viii show you that there are
three japanese newspapers published
here--there were four a few months
ago. One of these, the Nippu Jill, has
a policy that has been fearlessly and
properly carried out of seeking an in
crease in the wages of the lahorers.
Another of the papers is the Ha-
waii Shinpo, planters organ which
represents the views of the Planters
Association, furthers their interests
| and opposes the granting of higher
! wages. The Jiyu, an evening paper
published by Mr.. Sheba few months
ago, was also an organ of the planters.
At this point Kinney objected to any
| mention of the planters and his objec-
tion was sustained.
Lightfoot then stated that he should
prove to the jury that the other papers
had been using the same language as
the Jiji and that the expressions so
much objected to by the prosecution
as threatening violence, destruction and
determination were used merely in an
allegorical sense. Lightfoot continued,
stating that he would show that the
| Jill had advocated peaeeable methods
of carrying on the strike, and that this
has been the policy of all the higher
| wage associations. sWhen the outside
organizations, - he said, "have wanted
| advice or assistance, they have sent to
Honolulu and Maxine and Negoro par
ticularly have gone to address their
meetings and have counseled them not
| to resort to violence or unlawful acts.
eff, concluded Mr.. Lightfoot, eve
show you all these things, we shall
| have showed you that no conspiracy ex-
listed and we shall be entitled to YER
diet of acquittal. -
