MURAL HANDWRITING
STARTLES RIP VAN
Wrinkles TO ACTION

WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.
The "skinning" of Cannon, the political
temper that has just shaken Massa-
chusetts, labor's statewide protests
in Pennsylvania, and the probable
coupling of farmers unions and trade
unions for national political action,
have so shocked the slumbering con-
gressional committees considering la
Dor bills that Representative Ster-
ing's Employers Liability bill, relat-
ing to railroad employees, was rushed
through the senate committee on iu-
dietary and is now on it's last LAB to
become a law.
Pump New Air to Moribund Measures.
This revitalizing of pigeonholed la
Dor bills by fearsome congressman
has also made popular the passage OF
Gardeners eight-hour bill, and at the
last meeting of the house committee
on labor even Vreeland was present,
and an Overlooking attendance showed
the eager desire Of those members
who had previously planned to kill
the bill with continued doses of mo
quorum to be now recorded as pres

personal representative, Chauncey De-
pew, sits ever watchful in the senate

tacks upon Sterling's bill which, ID
signed by the president, will at last

ing action for damages either in the
district where they reside or, in the
district of the residence of the. com.
pany sued. In addition, the bill is sc
drawn as to give jurisdiction to
the courts of the United States as
we'll as to state courts.
Reason For It Plain to See.
Why the railroads had played every
card in the legal deck of evasions to
avoid their responsibilities in the mat
ter of damages can be easily under
stood when it is known that the tota
casualties to trainmen on the Inter
state railroads of the United States
for the year 1908 was 2s1,645. :,
Every country in Europe, together
with Great Britain, Australia, British
Columbia and the Cape of Good Hope
has enacted legislation embodying, IL
one form or another, the complete

places upon the employer the entire
trade risk in the various lines of in

-SAYS REPRESENTATIV
SAYS REPRESENTATIVES,

WASHINGTON D. c., April S.
With the Taft administration openly
upholding the Dictatorship of Porfirio
Diaz, and Mexico on, the eve of a.
presidential election a resolution has
been introduced in the house by Rep
resentative Nichols of Pennsylvania
asking the attorney, general for In
formation regarding the imprisonment
in the United States of the Mexican
political refugees. Antonio I. Villar-
real, Ricardo Flores Magon and Lib
RADIO Rivera. = -. -. ::
Mr.. Nichols stated that: charges
of the; existence of practical slavery
in Mexico appeared to be so we'll
founded and the belief that the Uni
ted States government may be allow
ing; itself to be used by the mexican
government as an agent for the pun
ishing of the, political enemies of
Presid emit Diaz, that he was moved
to introduce resolution demanding
an investigation into the imprison-
ment of the men above mentioned:
Magon is at the head of the Mexi-
can liberal party, which met some
years ago in convention in San Luis
Potosi and was dispersed by the Mex
lean soldiery and its membership
hunted like wild beasts, many, like
Magon, being forced to seek safety
for their lives in the United States.
Pursued by private detectives in the
pay of Diaz, who followed Magon,
Villarreal and Rivera from one Am
erican city to another, causing their
arrest time after time upon unsub-
Stimulated charges, the patriots were
finally arrested in Los Angeles upon
charges of starting military expedi-
ton in this country to invade Mex
leo. = '->
|, Two pistols were the sum total Of
arms proved :to,>be in possession. of
this military expedition and upon
this and similar flimsy evidence, they
were convicted to serve a term in the
federal prison at Florence, Arizona.

Nichols will compel any secret
charges against the Mexican prisoners
to. be made public and the real mo-
tives behind the persecution uncov-
