SHOOTING
STILL BATTLES
Police Can Find No Motive for
Attack on Officer
Walker
NO CHANGE TODAY IN
WOUNDED MANS CONDITION

There are no new Developments to-
day in the case Of Parolman swithin
G. Walker who was shot while on
his way homo ON Tuesday night and
the police appear TO be as far from
solving the affair as ever. There Is
absolutely no clue as 20 the identity
Of the man who did the shooting oS-
cept that he was a foreigner Neither
the wounded policeman nor James r
McNcspio. who was with him. are able
TO give clear description of the
man. Ia fact they differ IN their de-
scription of tho man. One thinks he
had q mustache and the other has an
opposite opinion, claiming that the
would-bo assassin was smooth faced.
That the man should be allowed 10
go unpunishod is not TO be thought
of and 1t was suggested on several
sides today that a substantial reward
be offered for the information that
will lead TO the arrest OF the culprit.
IL Is claimed by the police that
Walker is the victim Of a man Of such
temperament as Miele, the italian who
killed Vincent Walker at Fourth and
King street several years ago, for
calling him a guinea"
Walker and the man who shot him
collided on the sidewalk and the
stranger. not taking a fancy to Walk
er's remarks, took offense and shot
him. That appears to be the only
cause for the shooting.
II was said at the Delaware Hos
pital today that the officers condi-
ton continues unchanged. The bull
let is still in his body, and II was not
known whether an operation would
be performed. The physicians are
watching the case closely, and it was
said this afternoon that an operation
would not be resorted to until every
other effort to save Walkers life falls.
That the policeman is seriously
wounded is admitted, and while his
chances for recovery are good, he is
still far from being out of danger.

CHICAGO, August 25.--With Julius
Kruttschnitt, vice-president and gem
eral manager of maintenance and
operation Of the Southern Pacific, and
high officials I'm all the Hartman
lines speeding west in special car;
labor leaders gathering in Kansas
City to decide upon their final stand
and thousands Of union men lombard
ing their officers with demands that
they be permitted to strike, the in
dustria{ situation in the far west to-
day assumed a most critical phase.
Labor leaders declare they are hav-
ing difficulty in holding their men In
check and add that they can see
nothing to the Kansas City meeting
but a strike order to all the shop
craft employees of the system. The
main point at issue is the demand OF
the unionists that the railroads recog-
nize the system federation. in place
of the separate union organizations
that have contracts with the road. The
railroads insist that negotiations in
the future must be carried on as IN
the past under the individual union
plan.
Railroad officials here today declar-
ed the Hartman lines we're able TO
Withstand a strike Of shop employees
at this time while union leaders were
just as positive that they could tie
up the entire system in few days.
The following is a list of the men
interested in the controversy: Car
men, 12,000r machinists, 7.000 boil
ermakers SOC; blacksmiths, 1000;
sheet metal workers, 1000; total,
$4,000.

level AT work in advance of the inves-
t1sators of the Immigration Commissions
were the representatives of labor as
most deeply interested investigators in
the cause of labor. Not only in a gem
eral way, but most striSingly in certain
occupations and in certain districts of
the country, what had been brought
home to trade unionism as going on
through immigration was the rapid
cnange in the membership OF the unions
as well as in population. In no country
on the face OF the globe do such rapid
transitions in industry and in popula-
tion take place as in ours. Therefore, in
time the general opinion among union
men on immigration had come to be such
as was expressed in the resolution
passed at the Toronto Convention.
The United States immigration Com
mission, after its protracted studies. per-
1ectly agrees with this opinion The
commission, as a whole, in its own
words, recommends restriction as de-
manded by economic, moral and social
considerations, furnishes in its report
reasons for such restriction, and points
out methods by which Congress can ar
tain the desired result if its iudgmeut

ARE FIGHTING CONSPIRACY.

President Tom Lewis of the U. NJ. w.
of A., in his report to the convention
now in session at Columbus, Ohio. has
this to say OF the Colorado situation:
"It would seem that our members in
Northern Colorado are striking not
alone for an advance in wages, but are
fighting against conspiracy to exter-
inmate the U. NJ. w. of A.
'Injunctions have been issued against
our members. Men have been arrested
and thrown in jail to satisfy the whms
of the operators. Justice has been pros
tituted public assemblage denied. free
speech suppressed and personal liberty
made n farce by the punishment inflicted
on our members by a Colorado Judge,
who believes that his Interpretation of
what constitutes contempt is the only
thing necessary to imprison men who
are innocent of violating the laws of the
land"
In discussing the situation in the Irwin,
Pa. coal fields. President Lewis places
the blame for failure to win the strike
as follows:
There has been a strike in progress
in the Irwin district of Pennsylvania that
has cost the international organization
of the United Mine Workers SS29 900 up
to November 80. Inasmuch as that
strike was ordered by officers of the
Pittsburg district without even consult
ing the international officers and with
out even organizing the men. I feel II my
duty to give you the facts in regard to
the situation in the field.
"* That the strike has not been
a success in establishing the organization
United labor bulletin., 1911-02-02

and wage contracts is due to the follow
ing reasons:
l. THE calling of a meeting of the
men at one mine and declaring a strike
without the men being organized.
. THE failure to make proper prep
aration by organizing local unions and
then calling a convention to formulate
demands to be presented to the operat-
ors of the Irwin district
5. 1.-The failure to formulate demands
to present to the operators of the Irwin
district before a strike was declared.
4. "The failure of the officers of the
Pittshurg district to consult the repre-
sentatives of the International organiza-
ton until large number OF unorganized
men were on strike and in need of finan-
cial support.
The production of coal in tnat dis
trict has reached that point where there
is no hope OF winning the strike under
the present circumstances. The Inter
national organization is furnishing relief
to support the mcn on strike to the eN-
tent of $4,000 per week. -" In my
opinion the strike in the Irwin district
will be completely lost IL continued un-
der the present method of continuing
the strike.
"s Let me call your attention to
a remarkable fact. 1t was stated to me
by President Feehan (of the Pittsburg
districD in the early part of last year
that local was organized at Green's
burg Pa. March 4th, and yet. according
to the books at the International office,
not one cent OF per capita tax or assess
ments have been paid by the miners of
the Irwin district to the International or
ganization."

The threatened strike of the motormen

gard to the Interpretation OF a clause be-
tween the traction companies and the
employees providing for minimum work
ing day OF nine hours and a maximum
working day of eleven hours. The unions
construe the clause to mean that men
employed on extra runs for only one or
