DENVER, Colo, Aug. ia strike
In America similar to that which has
resulted in rioting and bloodshed In
England is possible at almost any
time, according to Samuel Gompers,
president OF the American Federation
of Labor, who is in Denver tonight.
Should American employers try
to crush the life out of labor, such a
strike as that in England is possible. "
he said. "All depends upon the at
titude of the employers II they grant
the workers larger share OF the pro-
duct of their labor. then no such con-
ditions will exist here
The strike in England is the best
thing for that country which has hap
pened in twenty years. Many states
have been terribly inconvenienced, but
it will work out for the greatest
economic good. 1t is one of the fruit
full signs of the times.
The working people have been a
unique class, demoralized by misery
There are millions of unemployed so
submerged that there is no hope for
them and perhaps little hope for the
next generation. This strike has been
sort of leven, moving them 1t is the
beginning of change in deplorable
condition.
"Swarms Of these unfortunates in
vaded the better part of London dur
ling the coronationS and the police
drove them back into their novels lest
they spoil the glamor of the spectacle
They nearly revealed to the world a
condition of affairs Numerically diff
ferent to that portrayed by the gilt.
tering pageantry of the coronation
Some employers, such as the Ma
tional Manufacturers Association, are
trying to create such a class In this
country. They are trying to crush
labor organizations"
Gompers is on his way to Los An
geles to look into the Mcnamara
case prior to the trial OF the two la
Dor leaders next October.

LONDON, Aug. 19.-The strike OF
the union railway men, which had
absolutely paralized all traffic in the
United Kingdom, suddenly collapsed
tonight. All of the questions in dis
pute. especially tardy delays in ac-
cording hearings to men accused of
violations of the rules, will be set
tied by an arbitral committee.
Within thirty minutes of the agree
ment, the union men had reported
back to work and instead of chaos,
the country's commerce was again
moving according to schedule. The
strike settlement is considered an abb
solute victory for the men, Up to
the last moment Sir Grant, head Of
the railway managers association had
absolutely refused to treat with the
representative of the union. He
had declared the railroads were pos
itively determined to treat only with
their own employees and not with the
paid officials of the unions.
The government ann .1any of the
biggest financiers in the kingdom
brought the strongest pressure to bear
on Grant and he finally agreed to
meet with A. G. Laughton, represent
ing the unions.
After their conference it was an
nounced a special committee of five
men would be named which would
meet at once and revise all of the
previous decisions affecting the union
men. 1t. will also bring up to date
the decisions Of various conciliation
boards. All railway men were I'M
mediaately reported bck TO jobs.
The settlement followed day and
night Of fierce rioting. This was
especially SO in portions of Scotland
and Wales, where the military and
police were absolutely defied by the
workers. who bitterly resented the
interference Of the government, which
had manned the signal boxes and the
trains by railroad men drafted from
mediately reported back to jobs.
1t also came in time to prevent an
absolute famine in many cities which
depend on the railroads for food sup
ply. The fact that bread riots were
threatened in many places and that
the cotton mill employees in the great
centers of the north and the Scottish
and Welsh miners were preparing to
lay down their tools, caused the gov
ernment officials to bring the strong
est pressure on both sides to con-
sent to arbitration.
When the news Of the settlement
was received it brought confidence to
a badly stricken country. Already
there had been fierce rioting in many
places and soldiers had killed men
in Wales. The movement of traffic
had almost stopped because rails had
been ripped from the roadbed and
distractions had been piled in the
pathway of the few expresses which
were managin. to crawl along under
the guard and pilotage Of the troops.

BUFFALO, Aug. 19.-In the face Of
treacherous wind that threatened
to dash his aeroplane to earth, Harry
n Atwood, the Boston aviator. fyine
from st. Louis to New York, success
fully navigated the air from Erie. Pa.
to Buffalo, distance of Sc miles, late
this afternoon
Atwood's arrival at Kenilworth park
race track was unheralded and only a
few hundred people were on hand tc
greet him. Within fifteen minutes
after he had descended, however, the
old race track resembled a derby day
gathering. The young aviator was
surrounded by admirers and throngs
of women proffered their hand.
Il kept about 1000 feet in the ali
most of the way here because could
make better headway at that height, =
said Atwood, upon alighting from his
machine. 1T was cold, hard ride and
my hands were numb and | shivered
most of the way
Atwood arrived at 1903 p. M, hav-
Ing left Erie at 4:53. Earlier in the
day he flew from Fairview, Pa, into
tie city of Err, IL miles. Ascending
at Erie, Atwood struck out for the
lake shore and Michigan Southern
railroad tracks, which he followed
most OF the way. Over the New York
pennsylvania state line he began a
series OF evolutions for more favor
able conditions and glided down to
within 400 feet of the earth. Finding
no more favorable currents, he rose
again and until he reached the Bur.
falo city limits 1t was one continuous
fight against adverse currents.
When Atwood made his descent
here it was his first stop in New York
state and when he stepped from his
machine at Kenilworth he was exact
~ 4S9 miles from New Iork and he
is confident he will complete the

wood started from st. Louis last Mon
day and his arrival in Buffalo meant

for the end of the month of February
showed a total of $315,22S in all funds,
of which S109, 995 was in the general
fund. The receipts of the month
were "$142S19, principally coming as
insurance taxes. At the present time
the debt of the state is $500, 900 of
revenue warrants which will become
due the first of April; 100000 Of
outstanding general warrants; and
100000 borrowed from the Irvine
plant fund. The receipts for this
month will be heavy, bringing in the
first inStaIlmeat Of taxes for this year
which were paid prior to March l.
This will no doubt bring enough
TO wipe out the outstanding revenue
warrants, and leave a small balance
to apply on the outstanding general
fund warrants. While the debt at
the frs. of this month was q mil
lion dollars, by the middle Of April
his will be reduced over half, and
the financial showing will be a diff

taxes has come in and been applied
on the outstanding accounts.
