+ LONDON, Sept. 16.-Labor unions
are agreed that the relations between
capital and labor in England are
worse than they have ever been be-
fore, and that a national uprising OF
unprecedented VIOLENCE is impending.
This weeks reputation by the men
Of the Boiler Makers union OF the
peace efforts of their leaders in the

the gravity Of the situation to en-

"A general stoppage Of work in the
Lancashire cotton Industry Is threat
ened as result of disputes, and it is
feared that 10000 cotton workers
will go on strike or be locked out by
October J., and that 100000 will even
tually become involved. The entire

Twelve thousand miners at Cardiff.
are on the verge Of striking and II
they go out they will. soon be fol-.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. TO-
Post office employees In this city as
sert that the action of the Fifth An
nual convention of the National Fed
Grafton of Post Office Clerks in elect
ing to the presidency, Oscar F. Mel
son, discharged from the Chicago Post
office because of INSTRUMENTATION, "
has caused much political anxiety to
the Hitchcock machine extending to
the presence of the great post office
chief himself. Nelson was made an
example of" by Hitchcock for three
reasons:
/. That he violated the postal reg.
ulations in encouraging the American
Federation of Labor to endorse bills
ir the house of representatives and
the senate for the betterment' of the
clerks.
2. That as delegate to the Chicago
Federation of Labor he introduced a
set of resolutions in reference to the
overtime performed by the clerks in
the Chicago post office.
8. That he is guilty of insubordin
alton because the Chicago Record
Herald and Tribune printed certain
stories relative to the condition Of
the clerks in the Chicago post office
end that the said stories are believed
to have been given to the press by the
said Nelson.
After his discharge Nelson came tc
Washington and obtained an inter
view with a department chief. Even
under the gag-rules governing the posi-
office he declared himself innocent

"The department grants no hear
ings," was the icy answer that closed
the short interview.
Nelson returned to Chicago deprived
of the means of making living a
the only trade in which he was skilled
The best years of his life had beer
given to the United States post office
and we're, apparently, wasted.
But the National Federation of Pos
Office Clerks saw the matter in an
9th er light. "If we meekly submit tt
the axe of the headsman in Wash
ington," pointed out the delegates
"and Nelson's head is allowed to re
main in Hitchcock's basket, who's
neck will be safe?" So by unani
nous vote Oscar F.. Nelson was elect
ed president of the International.
And more followed. The conviction
adopted resolutions calling for g. ma
tfo11al federation: Of post office: clerk:
similar to. the one In France and EAg

eyes, means knife, and il
even more rebellious than the election

CHURCH and PRESS


The National Association for
the Prevention of Tuberculosis has
planned tuberculosis Sunday fol-
April the oath. They are asking
that in every church in the United
States a sermon or lecture on this
important subject be delivered
on that day.
The Kentucky Association has
its headquarters in Louisville and
an application to Miss Harriet E.
Anderson, 215 East Walnut street,
Louisville, KY, will bring litera-
ture. Mr.. G. L. Adler, president
of the Association. earnestly re-
quests that all ministers in the
State of Kentucky shall join in
this national movement.
Kentucky badly nee d S the
preaching Of the gospel of educa-
tion on this subject. The disease
can be eradicated, and eradicated
only by cleanliness, healthful liv-
ing and the knowledge of the
means by which it spread. Ken
lucky is suffering more from the
disease than all but two or three
States of the Union. She is igno-
rant of her condition and. if we
are to Judge by the recent acts of
the Legislature, unwilling to take
the necessary steps to better it,.
Public agitation and education
alone can help US. Will the news
papers of Kentucky bring this
matter to the attention of every
minister In the State9
Bishop Nelson, of Albany, says:
Having labored with some sue
cess to point out the danger (of
the diseased, we are now confident
that the cure of the disease de-
ponds upon Improvement in con-
ditions of personal and social life.
Whatever the churches may be
able to do along this line will be a
double contribution to physical
and spiritual betterment, and l
should think that all would wish
60 have a share in such an enter
prise"

WITHOUT AN OWNER.
Court Refuses to Dispose OF
$1,000.

A mandate of the Court of APP
peals was filed in the office of the
Circuit Clerk at Winchester, KY,
April 5.
During the trial of the case of
Mrs. j. B. Marcum against the
Hargises. French and Callahan for
100000 damages for the murder
of her husband, important wit
nesses for the plaintiff left the
State
1t was alleged that the defense
was to pay Nose Feltner 81, 900
for taking them away. The money
was paid to Felix Feltner to be
given to Nose Feltner. The
81 900 was placed in the Win
chester Bank by Felix.
Nose Feltner later sued Felix
Feltner for the money. Judge
Benton decided that the whole
transaction was illegal and opposed
to the public good and decided
that the court would not be a
party to it's enforcement and re-
fused to decide as to whose money
it was.
The highest court affirmed his
decision ard in the meantime the
money has remained in the bank.
Why not give it to Mrs. Mar
cum, if the courts cannot other
wise decide?

STATES RIGHTS.
Senator Paynter'S Amendment q
Step Toward Maintaining
Home Control.

Senator Paynter has secured the
adoption of an amendment to the
Employers Liability act by insert
ing the words and no case arts
ing under this act and brought in
any State court of competent iu-
risdiction shall be moved to any
court of the United States"
The adoption is of great impor,
tOnce, because it is step towards
restoring to the States the rights
and control of matters which have
been claimed by the Democrats to
be the rights of the State under
the Constitution.
BY the amendment adopted by
the Senate and ratified by the
House, the plaintiff has the right
to institute his action in a State
court, and the right to remove the
cause Of action to the United
States Court is in express terms
forbidden, thus averting the ne
cessity of travelling many miles
with witnesses and attorneys to
have cases tried in the Federal
Court.

STRONGLY OPPOSED
Will Be Application FOR Parole of
Curt Jett.

From daily reports we get these
extracts:
Application will be made to the
Prison Commission for a parole
for Curtis Jet, serving two life
sentences for murder, and strong
petition will be presented urging
that he be given a chance to make
good. Jet is known in Breathitt
as The Wild Dog of the Noun
tains." The petition is to be pre-
sented by the Rev. G. r. Hudson,
pastor of the Christian church in
Frankfort.
Curt Jet has been in prison for
more than six years and during
the last few years has been a
model prisoner. He professed re-
ligion and joined the church. He
is close student of the Bible and
knows more about it than most
Sunday school scholars.
Rev. Hudson told the Secretary
of the Prison Commission that he
wanted to appear before the board
on behalf of Jet. He said he was
present when Jet professed faith
and he believes that that CONVEX
sion was genuine and that Jet
would lead a straight life if given
chance.
MRS. mARCUM PROTESTS.
From a petition filed by MIS-.
Marcum we take this extract:
Il am the widow of James B.
Marcum, who was killed by Curt
Jet, while standing in the Court
house door in Jackson, and whom
Curt Jet confessed to having
killed.
Il desire in the name of Justice
and decency, and honor and in the
living memory that | have for my
husband, who was taken from his
wife and his loving children, four
sons and two daughters, to enter
most bitter and serious protest
against his parole or pardon, or
other exculpation.
The history of this crime is
too indelibly written on the MEM
Dry of the people of Kentucky to
need any repetition here, how that
he in company with his accom-
plice and fellow criminal, Tom
White, stealthily slipped through
halls and corridors of the Court
house to where my husband stood,
and without the slightest warning,
shot him to death.
1t was less than a year before
this that he from the windows of
the same Courthouse fired the
shots that took away the life of
James Cockrill as he stood on the
streets, which killing Jet con-
fessed having done. | therefore
most respectfully enter and file
protest against the parole.
Respectfully submitted,
"MRs. JAMES b. MARCUM."
