investigation that the ice dealers,
generally speaking, have a habit of
loading their wagons with a stated
number of pounds of ice and de-
manding Of the drivers that they
bring back pay for the full amount,
This means that the customers must
pay for the loss along the way caused
by melting. For instance. if 25 of

Before the rain came as a climax
to the unprecedented drought this

Southern Power Company could not
supply the plants with power.
1t is estimated that 10000 opera

political enemies are asking what
will there be in Washington in De-

more than at the present time. The
next congress, they say, will have no
more important questions to deal
with than has the extra session; and
if there is no occasion for his pres

they say, there will be none next De-

Why, therefore, they are asking,
shouldn't Governor Smith just go on
and serve out his entire time as gov

his leisure?
But ask questions as they will
Governor Smith is answering none
of them. He is saving wood and

Uncle Sam Has Provided Breathing
Spots for the Public in Various
Parts of His Wide Domain.


Uncle Sam in a very thoughtful
way has provided for his citizens
summer resorts, all free, than which
there are none better in the world.
In his great scheme of conservation
and reservation he has reserved for
the public national parks covering a
total area of 1924 square miles, an
area almost half as great as that of
Switzerland. In these parks are sier-
ras finer than the black forests
Germany, mountains as difficult to
climb as Mount Blanc and giant trees
that existed before the pyramids
were begun. Many of these national
Fairgrounds are in the west, but the
greatest of them are easy of access.
The Yosemite National Park, in
California, is $50 miles from San
Francisco as the crow flies. 1t is
not possible as yet to trolley thither
from the Golden Gate, but it may be
within the next few years. Already
a stage line leading to its boundary
has been paralleled by an electric
railroad. The Yosemite Park is in
the heart of the Sierra Nevada noun
tains. Originally it was Is miles in
length and a mile back from the main
edge of the precipice on each side of
the valley, but the park in it's en-
tirety now covers a domain SO by 40

Salvation Army's Latest Colony for
Inebriates Near New Zealand.
Off the coast of New Zealand lies
body of land known as Drunkard's
Island to passing mariners. It's real
name is Pakatoa and it is the Saliva
ton Army's colony for inebriates.
The Salvation Army recently COM
pleted plans for isolating confirmed
drunkards on a couple of islands,
one for women and one for men,
Only one island is available at pres
ent, but the success of this settle
ment has been such that the New
Zealand government and the Saliva
ton Army may acquire another for
women.
The only communication with the
mainland is by the Salvation Army
motor boat, and the residents have
no opportunity of reaching a public
house.
All spirits and alcohol in any form
are forbidden on Pakatoa, and the
colonists lead the simple life on a
fruit diet without drugs or police
men.
The New Zealand government re-

trates power to commit persons who

CAN'T FIND CANDIDATE
ONE WHO WILL RIDE IN THE
SMITH COLORS HASN'T BEEN
SECURED YET.
P. BROWN HAD BRIEF CONFAB

With Governor Smith and After Some
Repartee Quickly Left Him. Al
though GovernOrship Campaign
Has Been Open Some Time Govern
Or's Faction Is Unrepresented.
Casting about for a
candidate to succeed Governor Hoke
Smith is the position which his fol-
lowers still occupy as to the govern
orship, and the problem as to where
they are going to find him is growing
more and more interesting.
They are calling on the friends Of
Mr.. Smith over the state, those who
elected him, to wait, promising to
be there with candidate when the
time comes.
An interesting story is told in this
connection of former State Treasurer
J. Pope Brown, one Of the announced
candidates who has already launched
his campaign, and Governor Smith.
Was conferred" Out of 1t.
According to the report which pol
iticians are discussing generally Pope
Brown went to Governor Smith be-
fore he delivered his Waycross
speech and asked the latter what he
thought about it.
1t is said that the governor gave
an indefinite reply and intimated that
Mr.. Brown should have come and
conferred with him before he an
nounced his candidacy. Mr.. Brown
it is stated, came back with the
reply that he had done this on a for
mer occasion, in 1906, when Mr.
Smith was first elected governor, and
found himself conferred' out of the
race.
1t is stated that the governor then
gave Mr.. Brown to understand that
he considered he had evened things
up politically with Mr. Brown for re-
firing from the race at that time by
appointing him state treasurer, |
whereupon Mr.. Brown said good |
day. and left the governors office. !
1t is pretty clear, therefore, that
the former treasurer will run his
campaign upon his own hook, and
that he will make direct appeal for |
South Georgia support is not to be
questioned.
In the meantime the hunt of Gov
ernOr Smiths friends for a candidate
goes on. Numerous suggestions are
being offered with a view, it appears, |
of seeing how they take Two or
three prospective candidates are be-
ing quietly boosted in the hope that
they will receive sufficient encourage
ment to justify their entering the
race with some expectation of win
ming. But it is easily apparent that
the right man has not yet been To-
Gated.
Smith Still. Hanging On.
In the meantime it is apparent
from the statement of Governor Jos. |
M. Brown that he is seriously consid- |
ering the matter Of entering the race,
and that he may be counted upon to |
do so at the proper time.
The ex-gOyernor's friends are all |
agreed that this is not the time for !
him to announce. Governor Smith |
probably will be in office until De-
cember 1, and it is considered there
is no use or occasion for springing a |
five-months' campaign upon the peo-
pie.

GoMPERS GETS PROTESTS.
CONTINUED from Page 1.)

There are now affiliated to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor under that pro-
vision a number of local unions OF COZ
ored workmen and number OF city cen
tral bodies composed entirely OF the rep
resentatives of local unions of colored
workmen. There are a number OF col
ored workmen, members in good stand
ing of the unions of their trades, holdlng
commissions as organizers for the Amer
lean Federation of Labor They Keep IN
constant touch with headquarters, ana
are doing good work among the tollers
of their race"
The colored people of the First Baptist
congregation of st. Louis invited us 10
address them on the subject, and on
Sunday evening, November 81, we spoke
in their church to an audience that en-
tirely filled the auditorium. Our state
ments-which could hardly be called "ex-
plantations" for on our part there was
nothing to explain away-were accepted
on the spot without question as to the
facts of the case. We had said nothing
before the Trades and Labor Council,
nor have we on amy other occasion in
all the years of our labors, which could
possibly be construed to place obstacles
in the way of the organization OF the
colored people in connection with the
labor movement. From prominent mem
bers of the congregation contradictions
of the canard sprung by the reporter
were sent out over the country, as had
previously been done by many labor men
and others who knew the truth.
Thus, so far as possible, no step that
could be taken to deny the reporter S
story was overlooked. But he had done
the damage. To this day protests are
arriving at headquarters of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor against our as
sumed exclusion of the negro from the
labor movement. They have come in the
form of regrets from friends, denunc1a-
tions from -enemies, judicial head-wag-
gings from statesmen, howls from fana-
tics. Some writers beg us to recon
sider''; some think that we ourselves do
not deserve the confidence of the work
ers"; some adjudge our sentiments as
'reprehensible"; one editor pronounces
us as drunk, brutal, or stupid"
Well, we recognize it as part of our
duty to take the world as it is, without
over-vexation. To control the potential
tiles of cynical and imaginative mischief
makers having access to the press is be-
yond reach of the law and public opin-
ion. In addition to our routine work,
which includes asking our fellow-citi-
zens to consider thoughtfully the senti-
ments and achievements of trade union
ism, we are obliged constantly to go back
over trade union history to assist in
clearing up the misrepresentation, mis-
interpretations and other forms of in
jury to which at every step unionism is
subjected. We ask our readers to re-
member this st. Louis incident the next
time their daily papers tell them about
some awful thing that some prominent
trade union man has just perpetrated.
They may safely wager ten to one that
he hasn't done it.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS.

The Garment Workers of Chicago, at
which place there are $4,000 men and
women on strike, make the following ap-
peal for funds:
To Organized Labor and Friends, Greet
ing
There are at present some $4,000 Gar
ment Workers out on strike in the city
of Chicago. Those people were previous
ly in the employ of Hart, Schaffner &
Marx, B. Kuppenheimer & Co., and about
a hundred other ready-made and made
to-measure clothing concerns.
The conditions under which those peo-
pie were compelled to work were of the
vilest kind:
1. Denied the right to belong to, and
discrimination against and dismissal for
belonging to a trade union.
2. Compelled to secure a pass from a
foreman to get drink of water or go
to the lavatory.
8. Compelled to pay for soap in the
wash rooms.
4. Petty fines for various infractions
of rules, materially decreasing their earn
ings.
5. The system changed from week to
piece work, and the prices paid being so
low as to make the highest speed neces-
sary to earn sufficient to keep body and
soul together.
Anu many otner tyrdnHieS 100 Humer-
GUS to mention.
We are paying no strike benefits, but
have commissary departments to feed
the strikers, and, there being $4,000 of
them, it takes large sum of money.
On behalf of these people we make an
appeal for funds that are urgently
needed Act at once, as the case is a
needy one.
This appeal received the unanimous
endorsement at the st. Louis session OF
the American Federation of Labor.
Fraternally yours,
B. A. LARGER,

PRESSMEN STILL OUT.

The past week has brought no change
in the newspaper strikee further than to
urge the striking pressmen to more de-
term1ned efforts in canvassing the city
with advertising matter, which is their
only medium to put an unbiased state
ment before the public. Rebuke to the
publishers is being administered in
large doses by the citizens in withdraw
ing their patronage from the unfair
papers. Stop postal cards are fur
nished by the pressmen and these are
being signed by subscribers at the rate
of 100 to $50 per day. This will ulti-
mately defeat any newspaper as circula.
tion is the greatest problem for the pub
Usher of today.

national Pressmen's union, in an inter-
view today, stated in his opinion organ.

awake to the Game of OPEN SHOP

THE MARx-HAAs STRIKE.

The Misses Sellens and Hurley, mem
bers OF the ST Louis Garment Workers
union, and representing District Council
No. 4, are in the city. They addressed
the Denver Trades and Labor Assembly
Sunday and will remain in the city sew
eral weeks visiting local unions and call
ing on business men whom they seek to
influence to prevent them from handling
the Marx & Haas readymade clothing.
Miss Sellens spoke first and told the
delegates of the struggle the Garment
Workers are having with the firm of
Marx & Haas. She said that an injunc-
ton has issued in St. Louis similar to
the one issued in Denver by Judge Whit
ford, and the unionists are prevented
from walking on certain streets and
from talking to certain people and from
doing most everything. Miss Sellens told
of how the workers for that firm were
laid off for week, penalized and fined
for the merest trifles, and were worked
under conditions that were almost un-
bearable.
Miss Hurley spoke last. Her address
is exactly the opposite of Miss Sellens.
While Miss Sellens' talk tended to create
sympathy, Miss Hurley's attitude was
militant and urged the delegates to bat
tle while Miss Sellens told of the pa
thetic side of the fight for living, Miss
and of the comedy noted in incidents of
the strike; while Miss Sellens had the
delegates reaching for their handker-
chiefs, Miss Hurley convulsed them with
mirth over how they defeated one Mr..
Kelly for alderman.
The two ladies make a great team,
and the way they were received by the
assembly shows that the Garment Work
ers of st. Louis made no mistake in
their selection of representatives

EleHT-HouR LAW INTRODUCED.

An eight-hour law for laundry girls
was passed by the Legislature four years
ago but it was promptly killed by the
courts. Two years ago it was killed by
the lawmakers. This is but another ef-
fort.
Harvey Garman stands sponsor for the
law this session. He has introduced a
bill in the senate making 1t a crime to
employ women workers in laundries for
longer period than eight hours.
Garman introduced in the senate Tues.
day a bill to enable victims of accidents
to collect interest on damage cases and
remove one incentive to employers and
public utility concerns to delay trials in
the court. His bill provides that when
verdicts for damages in personal injury
cases are rendered, they shall carry in
terest from the date of accident.
