Philadelphia, March 15.--Interest in
the general strike centered on the
ability of the labor unions to hold the
striking workmen together and pre-
vent break predicted by employers
and the city authorities Reports
showed that although some men did
return to work after weeks idleness
there was no indication of a general
break. On the other hand, several
unions, which have hesitated about

The strike declared against the

urging workingmen and women not
only in this city, but throughout the
country, to withdraw deposits from
banking institutions and thus deprive
capitalists of one weapon with which
to fight organized labor, is being
watched with interest. This action
was taken because the local banking
interests are disinclined to interfere
in the fight between the trolleymer
and the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company.
Bankers Not Apprehensive.
Bankers admitted that this lates

ern railway, in an interview here
summed up the weaknesses in the
governments reclamation methods.
He even went SO far az to say that
the service is filled with either incom.
petents or crooks" He called some
of Clifford Pinchot's ideas asinine. He
said the government reclamation
plants, in many instances, were junk
piles.
Here are some of the dynamic ut
terances in Mr.. Hills statement:
Government reclamation as it exists
today is, in the main, farce"
"The idea of Eastern theorists try
ing to handle big problems of the West
Is another absurdity"
"Pinchot is nice gentleman, but
an impractical faddist. There is no
Oriental trade. The only way to es-
tablish relations with the Orient is to
admit Chinese to certain extent"
"The government reclamation serv-
ice is filed with officials who are eth
er incompetents or crooks; charity
leads to the supposition that they are
incompetent"
Calls II Waste Of Money.
Mr.. Hill was sitting in deck chair
on the Cabrillo, bound for Avalon
when during the interview he found
occasion many times to pound the rail
by way of emphasis.
THE government" he said, ''is en-
gagged in SO called reclamation work
which is costing tremendous amount
of money. And the results are uni
vsrsally small.
Il know Mr. PinchOt very well, was
with him and some senators on q
three weeks junketing trip once and
had good opportunity to find out
what he doesn't know about forestry
and kindred subjects in which he was
| supposed to be an expert.
Not very long ago he broached q
scheme for making fish preserve o1
the Pacific coast waters. Think of the
asinity of that. 1t is an index to his
impracticable ideas.
"The government reclamation plants
| are, with few exceptions, useless and
in many instances they are junk piles
When the government finishes {
reclamation project it charges more
for the land and twice as much fol
the water as private concerns"

SOUTH ARKANSAS
 SOLID FOR HODGES

Little Rock, March 1.--Earle W. Hodges returned this morning from a two weeks tour of southern Arkan- sas in the interest of his candidacy for secretary of state. He says he met with greater encouragement than he had anticipated, and prominent
 men in every county he visited assure him he will carry that section of the state almost solid. He received sev- eral bushels of personal letters upon his return, written from people over the state who are interested in seeing a competent young man in the office, and all were very much in the same strain. Candidate Hodges will leave again tonight to conquer fresh fields.

DONACHEY'S PARDON
 RECORD A GOOD ONE

Little Rock, March 1.-Two things
 alone have been responsible for 75
 per cent of the pardons which have
 been issued by Governor Donaghey
 since he became governor of Arkan-
 sas. One of these is to permit for
 mer convict who has been making a
 good citizen to have his citizenship re- stored, and the other is to give the
 boys of the reform school chance to start over again and make men of
 themselves instead of felons. Of the
 other 25 per cent, fully 15 have been at the request of the judge who pre- sided at the trial, the prosecuting at
 torney or the jury which convicted
 the receiver of the pardon. Governor Donaghey has been more free from the pardon stigma than any governor occupying the chair for 20 years. When a pardon is entered upon the records of the secretary of state, it is acknowledged here that there was some strong reason or it would never have been granted. Whenever Super intendent Chestnut of the reform school recommends to Governor Don aghey the pardon of boy in that in stitution, saying he believes the youth will go forth and sin no more, it is a pleasure to Governor Donaghey to grant such a pardon. It is the same way with men who have served their time in prison and desire a chance to tart over again, and to them their citizenship is restored. From Janu-
 ary 6 until the present time Governor
 Donaghey has issued 30 pardons, nine of which were granted for the purpose of restoring citizenship. There recently appeared an article which stated Gov
 ernor Donaghey had pardoned 86 be- tween January and February 27
 1910. This was just 57 off, for in
 that length of time Governor Dona-
 ghey issued but 29 Besides the nine
 to restore citizenship, several were tc

 refuting the claim that Governor Don
 aghey had issued S6 pardons since
 January 6, showing the exact number
 to be 30 up to date, and thus nailins

A CARD FROM
 BEN |. GRIFFIN

To the Democratic Voters of Faulk-
 ner County:
 l wish to say a few things to you | concerning my race for congress. I have been devoting all my time to the campaign in other counties of the dis | trict, and have not, up to this time, made an appeal directly to the peo- | ole of my home county. But fellow | citizens, I want to say few words to you as friends, and as your home candidate for congress. l am making win, you win; if lose, you lose. This IS true with every man and his people in a race of this kind, and since have been one of you, your interest has been my interest, and as Demo- crats, 1 believe you are with me to a man.
 1 have canvassed five counties of the district in joint debate with my opponents. 1 have every assurance of winning with good majority, and want every Democrat in my home county to feel that, should l win, it will be bis victory as well as mine. have thc people with lie, and l feel hat you will appreciate the Worl. l am and have been doing to Win this i!nportaat office for a man in Faull,- ner county.
 I say this. not because I fear you will not, but because l want you to know that I am making your fight as we'll as my own, and believe you are with me.
 Now l want to say a few words about my opponents, both of whom are politicians, and have drawn thou sands of dollars of the peoples money in salaries and fees from offices held. Therefore, neither of them have any claim for the office upon this score. One of them has been in office of one kind or another for 15 years. The other is lawyer and has been prescott ing attorney of his district for four years. Neither of them represent the masses of the rcei,ie of the dis trict, which is composed largely of the farming and laboring class. Neither of them stand for anything except for office. Therefore, 1 ask you to care fully weigh this matter and rally the whole force If Democ1 acy on March 9, therebJ enabling Us to win a grand victory for old Faulkner. elect man who has ever been in full sym patEJ with the laborirg man in eve,y walk of life, and for the first time in the history of the distrlct, send a farmer to congress.
 In conclusion, I wish to say that 1 shall make at least six speeches in the county before the primary if my health will permit, at which time l will prove to you further that 1 am with you on every move for Faulkner county and the citizenship thereof. Hence, appeal to you, one and all to rally with me, for the prize is a good one to pluck, and l confidently believe you will win it.
 Yours obediently,
 BEN L. GRIFFIN.
