E. S. IVES SPEAKS ID VOTERS
Every Seat Taken in OperalHOuse to Hear Candidates for Democratic Nomination for United
 States Senator

The second candida te to appear in Clifton for the democratic nomina- tiou tor United States senator-Hon.
 Eugene $. Ives of Tucson, addressed the voters at the opera house Tues day evening.
 The opera house was packed, every seat being taken, and for a little more than an hour and a half the dis tiuguised and brilliant lawyer from Tucson held the closest attention of his audience.
 Only once was the speaker inter- rupted. When MT. Ives was dwell ing upon the benefits in hisl opinion to the American people, ,:through the adoption of the principle of the re- call of judges, d man in the audience asked: ''Woulv that be a complete remedy" The speaker said in an- swer that nothing -wasNa "complete remedy'' for any existing evil, but ad- vocated the recall of the judiciary as long step in the right direction.
 The speaker devoted d great deal of his time to the discussion of the merits of Arizona s constitution which he endorsed from beginning sto end and dwelt upon the recall of the judi ana vital principles and pledged his support to its re place ment in the constitution just as soon as Arizona was a state.
 MT. Ives came before his audience as progressive statesman. He de- fined the word progressive" in poli- tics to be those who were determined that the favoritism and special priv ilege enjoy ed by a few throuh special Legislation should be brought 10 ID end in this country.
 Regarding his connection with the Arizona & Eastern railway, d sub~id iary company nf the Southern Pa ciiC, MT. Ives made an impassionei appeal to his audience and their sense of fairness. He said that the Ari- of his many clients; that he tried eases for that corporation before judge and jury the same as for any other client. He stared thatihe had never appeared before d legislative body as a lobbyist in the interest of any corporation or cvers asked q ter ritorial board of equalization to lower the ,as7essment of Lany Corporation. He said any time a railroad corpora ton did not want his legal services they could ''recall him. He said he never had surrendered his principles to any individual or corporation. He recited the organization of d Miners Union at the King of Arizona which he helped to organize against she wishes of Epes Randolph, the presi- dent of the Arizona X Eastern and also president of the King of Arizona mine. who, the speaker stated, was bitterly opposed to organized labor.
 MT. Ives stated that his desire to
 to the U. s. Senate was actuated by a laud ble ambition and if the people gave him their commission he would serve them with that same ii delity, zeal and energy he had always devoted to the best interests of his clients.
 That MT. Ives made forcible speech in his support ot his candidi- dacy was the conCeusus of opinion at the close of the meeting. The speak CT pleaded his case as he would that of client before d jury and after hearing MT. Ives in his own defense it is no wonder that he enjoys large and renumerative law practice

General BiXby, chief of the army en- gineers, who has had charge of the un- watering of the Maine, recently ex- pressed the opinion that the destruc- tion of the battleship was caused by the explosion of her magazines. No external explosion, in his judgment, could have caused the conditions ob- served in the remains of the vessel But General Bixby added that the pri- mary cause of the explosion would likely never be known, so the mys- tery of the Maine, unlike the hull 1t self, may never be revealed. General Bixby said that unless the fragment of torpedo could be found there is no way of connecting an outside agency with the blowing up of the vessel.
 The destruction to the vessel was such, says General Bixby. and the de terioration has been so great that 1t is impossible to tell whether the ship was blown up from a force within or

CONFUSION RAMPANT"
Toledo Union Leader Publishes Editorial
Conspicuous for Its Trenchant
Trade Union Philosophy.

Under the caption, Confusion Ram
pant" there appeared in a recent issue
OF the Toledo Union Leader. a splendidly
written editorial, worthy the perusal of
every union man or woman. Its criu-
cism of the 'isms" nostrum peddler is
keen and well grounded, and the writer
displays a grasp of the economic forces
IN possession of the men OF labor which
is entirely ignored by the political fad
dists. Trade unionists capable OF differ
entiation of the character manifest in
the treatment of the subject discussed
are performing service incalculable to
our labor movement The following eN-
cerpts are worthy of the highest consid-
Grafton:
In these days of wondrous changes
and clashing opinions, workers stand be
wildered at the countless isms, short
cuts and nostrums handed them by men
who advocate every possible remedy but
one-help yourself. The most alb
stract philosophy is dished up to the
workers. The future is painted in the
most dazzling and lurid colors, and in
clude the most minute details, but they
are not told that the struggle for better
conditions must be waged in the shop.
and that if workers are incapable OF die
tating how their labor power-their life
shall be sold. they will cut a sorry fig
ure when they are engulted in the
meshes of politics. The boss sees this
point. and he never objects to the raw
ings of the revolutionary politician in
his shop. In fact, the working class poll
tician plays the bosses game by telling
the men that politics will cure their ills,
instead of securing power just as the
boss did-through economic methods.
The boss don't care who runs the gov
ernment If he is allowed to dictate con-
ditions in his shop. The boss also notes
that any worker who gets the political
bug loses his activity in the trade union
movement. This fact is CLOSED over by
working class politicians, who dazzle and
confuse non-thinkers by their high-sound-
ing phrases and parrot-like utterances.
Their frothy defamation provides
an easy living from easily swayed work
ers. who fail to notice the absence of
their friends when they wrest better
conditions from their employees.
We don't know how long the present
hysteria will last. but we will continue
to resist the political heresy in unions
that is deadening our activities and max
ing blind and prejudiced intolerants out
of some of our best men. The
theory that politics-the state-the gov
ernment-will solve the question is only
to say that workers can turn their

TAYLOR SYSTEM AGAIN.

washington.-"If the Taylor system is
put into operation in government shops
by Secretary Stimson, as he has stated,
one of two things will result-either
congress will enact legislation relieving
machinists of the unjust rigor of the So
called scientific shop management, or
there will be n cessation of work. The
men employed in the shops of the navy
department are high grade workmen and
compare well with the standard of the
average American machinist. who is ac-
knowledged to be without peer in any
country. There is nothing new in the
Taylor system. X is simply parts of old

muses., etc, have been put in operation
in various places years ago. 1t simply
resolves itself into driving the workmen.

PROGRAM OF ORGANIZED LABOR.

(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle)
The problem of unemployment is one
OF the most distressing in industrial
life. 1t is a striking fact that the Asso-
ciated Charities rarely have an applica-
ton for aid from member of organized
labor-the unions take care of their own
unemployed. John Mitchell once said:
Poverty is the result of unemploy
ment, low wages, disease, accident and
misfortune. The trade unions have
sought, with marked success to remove
poverty by securing for the wage-earn-
ers rate of wages sufficiently high to
enable workmen and their families to
live in manner conformable to Ameri-
can standards. They-the unions-haye
accumulated large funds which are used
to relieve workmen and their families
who may be in distress as result of
accident, death, sickness or unemploy-
ment. Last year there were paid for
the relief of the unemployed members of
trade unions, out of the funds in the
union treasures, not less than five mil
lions of dollars. These expenditures do
not include several millions of dollars
paid in strike and lockout benefits
But perhaps the most remarkable
feature of the methods pursued by trade
unionists in their contest against pow
erty is found in the sacrifices they make
for each other in periods of industrial
depression. and when poverty is most
general and acute. 1t occurs not infre-
quently that a union workman having a
job will divide his work and his earn
ings with a workman having no regular
employment This system of dividing
employment is quite general in mining
communities. If an employer closes
down one of his mines and continues
others in operation, the union men in
the mine that is running will invite their
fellow unionists whose work has beer
stopped to share their employment with
them That is to say, the men who re-
tain their jobs will remain at home three
days each week, allowing the men out
of employment to take their places for
three days each week. While this course
obviously decreases the weekly earnings
of the men having regular employment,
it results in giving men who would
otherwise be idle and in poverty enough
work and enough money to tide them
over their emergency

AUSTIN DAM.

Washington.-lf appearances count for
anything, it looks as if some one would
have to pay heavy penalty for the Aus
tin dam tragedy. An investigation has
practically shown that the tragedy was
not an act of Providence, in the sense
that it was unavoidable. 1t is claimed
that the dam was constructed in faulty
fashion. and that its foundation was re-
stricted ten feet less than the original
plans contemplated, and that the bed
rock key was omitted, and even after the
weakness of the structure had become
apparent, nothing was done toward max
ing it safe. 1t is alleged that up to the
present time there has been a prepon-
derance of evidence to the effect that
the accident was due to criminal negli-
sence. IL is the duty of the state of
pennsylvania to make sure that the
guilty persons are punished and that the
hundreds of persons at Austin who have
been made homeless and whose families
have been destroyed are given justice.

RELIEF ASSOCIATIONS.

Washington.-The railroad employees
relief associations, it is stated, will not
be disturbed by the proposed employers
liability legislation to be submitted to
congress this winter by the congression-
al committee on employers liability and
workmen's compensation. Several roads
that have their own relief associations
were anxious to know what congress
would expect of them, and several rep
resentatives of these roads met with
Senator Sutherland. chairman of the
committee, who told them that the pro
posed legislation would not interfere
with the roads individual plans II. after
Investigation. they were found to be sat
isfactory. Ii is claimed that the rail
roads interested have relief association
liabilities amounting to two hundred
millions. and some of the associations
have been in operation for twenty-five
years. The assurance of the chairman
of the committee. however, is only ten
tative because congress will have the
last word on this important measure.

Trackmen Get Raise.

Roanoke, Va-The maintenance of
way employees employed by the Norfolk
and Western road have just secured an
agreement which increases the wages OF
the maintenance men on that road S115,-
600 per year The controversy now ex-
listing between the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton r. R. and the maintenance
of way men has been referred to board
of arbitration, and it is expected that the
award will be favorable to the men. The
strike of the maintenance of way men
on the Lackawanna is bringing forth
good results, as it has been announced
by the officials that they are going to
grant voluntary" increase to their
trackmen. The maintenance of way men
have made splendid fight for better
conditions over the entire country, and
where the men are organized they have
invariably not only increased their
wages, but bettered their working condi-
tions.
