PENSION SYSTEMS, PROPOSED
LABOR PARTY - LEMONS
CONTEST.
nv Peter Power,

by feJcf ROVER.
Labor officials the country over
are displaying deep concern in the
actions of various corporations to
dispose of stock to employees and
introduce pensions systems, sick
and accident benefit associations,
etc. The steel trust, the Lake
Carriers association, the harvester
com bine, the beef trust, many OF
the railways and other corpora
lions have announced various
plans to interest their employees
in what they term welfare work
or to dispose OF stock.
Union labor officials denounce
all the schemes proposed or in
augurated as bait to tie the work
ers to their jobs and forestall de-
mands for higher wages and short
Ter hours. They charge the trust
magnates with deliberately con-
spring to establish a new feudal
system and enslave the masses
Warnings have been issued in
many trades to the workers to
turn a deaf ear to those who come
bearing gifts.
Pay us the wages and we will
care for our own sick and super
animated members" is the slogan
that is being sounded in the diff
ferent branches of industry. The
organized working people say they
want no gifts or charity or special
privileges, but merely their
rights, the product of their labor
Boston and Chicago newspapers
have been printing stories regard
ing the probable formation of a

California to get on with Nelson.

Murphy ought to win with ease;

Well. that's pretty good talk,
and maybe Murphy can deliver
the goods; but he's got to show

him.
Battling Nelson Is no wonder in
a limited round go. He needs
time to get his man, and a strong
man, who is fair boxer, looks
good against him over a short
route. Wolgast outpointed Nelson
in 10 rounds. and was in turn

A notable occurrence in the

treasurer of the American Fedora

Americans and Religious Intolerance.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug. 10
To the Editor of The Bee: IL there be
any one blessing enjoyed BY the people OF
free country more beneficial, more
precious, than any other. that blessing is
religious llberty--"the right 10 worship
God according to the dictates of ones own
conscience" without fear or favor, with
out the granting OF special privileges to
one religious cult and the Withholding of
natural or moral rights from another.
Liberty OF thought and speech form
the essence OF our Declaration OF indie
pendence and federal constitution, and
is the basis of all truly civilized and en-
lightened government 1t was TO enjoy
this liberty that the Pilgrims left their
native land for a perilous ocean voyage
and an inhospitable home on New Eng
lands rocky shores. 1t was for this that
Quaker Huguenots and other religious sects,
and in some cases Catholics, left their
beautiful native lands and Draved the hard
ships and perils of life In a new and un-
explored world. And it was with the hope
and intent to shake off religious as wei
as political oppression that the American
colonies declared for independence at the
outset Of the revolution and fought FOL
seven long years to secure It,
And now, at this late day, more than lS'
years since the birth of this great repub'
lie, we find American citizens of wealth
and prominence so lost to all sense OF the
blessings we all enjoy that they are mo-
only sympathizing with the intolerant ano
reactlonary element in Spain, but are con
templating pouring out their millions II
wealth in the effort to forge still stronger
the bonds Of religious oppression, OIL
plunge that nation into the horrors Of civil
war.
1t seems almost incredible that any mar
or woman Of this free land, native ana u

delight the noble efforts of the king anS
prime minister of Spain to secure FOL
their people a government based upon mod
ern and enlightened sentiment. with sep
aration Of church and state and aosolut'
freedom OF thought and religion.
America has truthfully been called tn
cradle of liberty" for by ana through
our example and successes have oppressed
people throughout the world gained IN
SEPARATION and courage and battled for ant
obtained their rights.
The American man or woman who, In
stead OF sympathizing with the govern
ment and the enlightened people of Spain
would give AID and comfort to their enemle
at this time, are unworthy the name ant

STATEMENT FROM OLD GUARD
Republican Leader of Albany IL GLAD
Roosevelt ia Coming

hOOSeNeH II Coming.
NEW YORK, Aug. 24J-William Barnes.
jr'' republican leader of Albany and one
OF the old guard who selected VIC
President Sherman for temporary chair
man of the state convention over the head
Of Theodore Roosevelt, came to New York
today and gave out a statement in part as
follows;
IAN citizens will rejoice at the statement
Of Mr.. Roosevelt that he will go to the
Saratoga convention II Nassau county
will send him and that there will be no
compromise on his part because the people
are entitled to know where the republican
party stands on ali public matters.
differences between the members Of a
political party should be fought out at
political conventions. Then when the ma
jority opinion has been recorded 1t is the
duty Of all TO support the ticket and the
platform or leave activity in the party
when Mr.. Griscom interjected Mr.. Roose-
velt's name as a candidate for the temper
airy craftsmanship without the members Of
the state committee knowing where Mr.
Roosevelt stood on the issues now before
the people in this state. and after the vice
president had been placed in nomination
before that committee, thereby forcing the
issue. which it was not the intention OF the
committee to create, he simply threw a
firebrand in the republican situation en-
tirely unwarranted. and for what purpose
1t is not for me to say. So unwise was
his action that the president has been called
upon 10 disclaim the absurd charge that he
was responsible for the selection OF MIR.
Sherman. OF course he was not RESPONSE
BILE, nor was he consulted.
There can be no compromise on this
subject. That he desires to commit the
party to the extreme folly Of the direct
nominations fad is unfortunate This great
nation wants peace and is looking to Presi-
dent Taft to secure it.
