 President Mover said that if a com mittee was authorized and he was given power to appoint it's members, Joseph D. Cannon, member of the executive committee of the federa- ton from Arizona, would be named as chairman.
 President Mover is sanguine of success in Arizona, because of the strength of labor unions in that terri tory He is more dubious about New Mexico. but hopes to divide the con- stitutional convention so that the labor delegates will hold the balance of power.
 The federation will demand that the constitutions of Arizona and New Mexico limit the power of district courts to granting injunctions against labor unions.
 President Movers report will advO- cate the bringing of a suit in South Dakota to determine the legality of the card system by which the miner is compelled to sign an agreement never to affiliate with a labor union before he can secure work in the Deadwood district. Mover will also attack the law creating the bureau of mines, declaring that the meas ure was so amended in the senate. at the instigation of the smelter in- terests, as to except Alaska from the control of the bureau.

 sas is Joke.

Kansas City, July 1S.-"Kansas is not taking Cannon seriously" said Senator Bristow in speech at the au- ditorium tonight. "It is generally un- derstoOd that he is out here to sup port congressional candidates who in turn will aid him in keeping the chair.
 'I have heard nothing that he has said that will influence Kansas on pub lie questions. The speech he is mak- ing is composed of the same generali- cations in regard to the tariff that he has always made. The arguments he is making in favor of protection are those we all admit.
 We object to the republican party being used by the Cannon Aldrich combination to promote the fortune of concerns not from the standpoint of protectionsts, but from that of mo- nopolists.
 "He has made the contention that we are fighting party regularity and he has cried out for cooperation. We are not fighting party regularity We are fighting for party integrity If this is maintained none need worry as to party regularity. We contend for the fulfillment of the delarations of

PINCHoT IS SILENT.
Nothing to Say for Publication Where
 BaIIinger is Concerned.

Oakland. Calf. July 1S.-Gifford Pinchot who arrived tonight for the purpose of making speeches for two weeks in behalf of Hiram Johnson. the Lincoln- Roosevelt League candi- date for governor, refused to discuss the report that Secretary Ballinger had been exonerated by the congress siOnal committee.
 T never speak for publication re- garding Mir Ballinger." said Mir Pin chot. decidedly. Pinchot also refused to discuss Colonel ROosevelt's stand on insurgency and other topics of in tense interest at the present time.
 I'll let Mir. Roosevelt talk for him self" he said But when he came to the question of conse rvation that was another thing and Pinchot expressed himself freely. Charging that the Pickett bill under the provision of which President Taft on July 8, withdrew S,495,731 acres of public land, contained a joker. he spoke at length:
 "The Pickett bill withdraws all this land from entry but leaves it open at all times to exploration, discovery and occupation under the mining laws of the United States, so far as the same apply to minerals other than coal, oil, gas and phosphates.
 There is nothing to prevent large corporations from entering this land ostensibly for mining purposes, after they have shown hat they have found small quantities of gold and other metal.
 This withdrawn land should not have been open to mineral location al all or provision should have been made in the law for preserving power sites for the government"
 Pinchot said this joker was pointed out by himself and his friends before the law was passed
 Mir Pinchot is a guest of Dr George c. Pardee, ex-governor Ot California. He opens the campaign for Johnson in a speech at San Fran cisco tomorrow night

MAINLY ON THE TARIFF
He Says There Has Been Much Lying About the Payne Law and Proves by Figures Inaccuracy of Bristow's Statements.

Emporia, Kas, July IS. - Speaker
 at o'clock this afternoon, again suffered much from heat. But after 1 that he proceeded with his accus- toned vigor. He said:
 q am asked whether a man should
 be independent in congress. We've l got President Taft and a republican l senate by the skin of our teeth, and
 a part of the time a republican house. l When We began it was said that we
 had fOrty-siX majority. If twenty six of that majority vote with the
 minority, that gives them majority
 of one. If the republican party did
 not have full power and responsi- bility it would be better that the | other great party should have full power.
 From the time the Dingley bill was passed until the republican plat
 form in 1908 declared for a revision
 of the tariff I stood squarely against revision Why? Because l knew
 that the tariff could not be revised without somebody lying about it, and
 
 always bow as long as l am a re- publican to the superior wisdom of the majority For that reason supported the revision when the re publican platform declared for it.
 "The Payne bill has been in opera ton since August ,. Two hundred
 thousand freight cars, then idle. are
 now busy Under that law we so
 arranged that more goods are ad-
 mitted free than under any other law in our history.
 Lets see who stands for the in-
 terests. The duties on lumber. | leather, boots and shoes, iron and
 steel are all lower under the Payne ! law than under the Dingley law. ! Every man who voted against the
 Payne bill thereby voted to retain the highest duties of the Dingley | law"
 \ MT. Cannon closed by replying to Senator Bristow's recent charges con- | corning the tariff on rubber During | this portion of his speech Mir. Can
 non read from typewriter manu- script. as follows: 'Bristow in his speech at Winfield charged that Sen ator Aldrich and others had brought about an increase of the duty on
 manufactured rubber and thereupon | organized the rubber trust. Bristow said that under the operation of the Payne tariff law there was decrease
 in the amount of manufactured rub
 Der imported, and therefore a loss in
 revenue.
 Either knowingly or ignorantly, | Bristow did not state the facts The
 truth is. as shown by the official l figures of the bureau of statistics for
 the nine months ending March 30,
 under the Payne law there was an
 increase in the importation of crude
 rubber amounting to $356,332. For the same period the revenue derived | from imports of manufactured rub 1 Der were increased $126,3S4. | "I submit that the senator intended I the audience to understand that, not withstanding the increase in the inn portation of crude rubber, imports of manufactured rubber had decreased. The truth is. as I have shown by
 official figures, that the importations of manufactured rubber increased un- der the Payne law, in spite of the | five per cent higher duty"

 Bristow at some length advocated q tariff commission, a genuine tariff commission,' he said, ito ascertain the difference between the cost of produc- ton here and abroad" As fast as uni form schedules were secured by this body, he said, the duties should be fixed upon that basis without waiting for the completion of the whole plan.
 The maintenance of high tariffs on some commodities, he said, threatened an industrial panic. In this connec- ton he mentioned the wooden schedule, which he said, not a marin public life, had the hardihood to defend.
