Just a year ago, the Chinese govern
ment announced that 1t would seek to
float a large loan for the purpose of
building two great railways, one to con-
enct Canton and southern China with
Hankow, thus establishing communica-
ton through to Picking, and the other
from Hankow westward to the rich, but
now almost inaccessible province of See
chuan. German, British and French cap
italists were about to take the loan
when the United States asked that Amer
lean capitalists be permitted to partici-
pate. This request precipitated a ter
rifle struggle in international banking
circles and in the world of diplomacy.
In July, President Taft, disregarding the
ordinary channels of diplomatic inter
course, wrote directly to the prince re-
gent of China and asked for a share
In the loan. AS a result Of this extra
ordinary action. American capital was
admitted to participate on an equal basis
with British, German and French money.
Then came other railway propositions in
which the Americans had a great share
and which tended further to complicate
the situation.

Nonunion Unionists viii For All Are

The ''B. o. B. promoters are up tc

who asked the Trades Assembly to
withhold further action in their work
of unionizing the cafes of the city

the men who have been holding out

hope of their own conversion the

Letter To
Workiingrnerl

From the American Federation of
Labor.
TO the Officers and Members of Or
ganized daabor, Greeting:
We are approaching the close of a
remarkable political campaign. Men
are to be elected to Congress, to State
Legislatures, to the position of Gov
errors of States and to act as judges
of >the courts. The common people of
our country are evidently intensely
alert to their, own interests in this
campaign.
To the great credit of the people
most of the old-fashioned transpar-
ent political tinsel has been abolish
ed. Men are studying the principles
of government and they are doing
more sober thinking and less futile
shouting than in any political contest
in many years. These changes mark
the intelligent progress of great
people. If one looks for the reason
of such change in the present strug-
gle to obtain political position he will
find that first and foremost, it shows
the great influence for good the
teachings OF organized labor have
had upon the observing, feeling,
thinking, wealth-producing masse&of
men. We are coming to the harvest
of >labor's highly priced purpose in
proclaiming the desire ITO foster edu-
cation and uproot ignorance. We
are on the threshold of securing the
best results of the shorter workday,
by which men have had the opportu-
nifty to read, study, reflect, and finally
act. The people are recognizing
more clearly the wisdom of organized
labors potent political slogan. "Be
partisan to a principle, rather than
to party"
Because of our loyalty to this great
principle we have already seen the
power of "Cannonism' and all that it
implies restricted by an aroused peo-

,.zn doing their best to drive the

and prisons known as garment rae
tories. The brutality Of the police
has been brought to light in an odd
way --.ny of the women, clad IL
the rough clothing of those workers,
were arrested, some of them dubbed
and then it was discovered thai
they we're fashionable society ano
club women of Chicago.
The degradation forced upon the
employees by such firms as Hart
schatner & Marx has been so plaiL
that it has enlisted the sympathy OF
these fashionable women, and they
went ON the picket line with the
strikers. 1t is believed that theil'
participation will mitigate the police
brutal1ly. for the police will not
break fashionable heads with the
same abandon as when they SWING

they Will win, even against such no
