ORGANIZED LABOR SPEAKS.
Indiana State Federation of Labor De.
nounces Governor Marshall for His
Part in the Kidnapping of John
J. Mcnamara

Organized labor in Indiana has ut
tered its protest against the action OF
the chief executive OF the state in per.
mitung John J. Mcnamara to be taken
from the state without due process OF
law. The Indiana State Federation OF
Labor. at its convention held in Evans.
Vile. Ind passed the following reso,
lutions without a dissenting voice:
Since the arrest Of Brother J. ]. Nc.
Nsmara. and his denial OF justice in
the city court OF indianapolis. the
Marion county circuit court. presided
over by the Hon. Charles Remster, has
decided that Judge Collins has not and
never did have authority and jurisdic.
tion TO hear. try or determine any ques-
tion concerning the eNtradition OF per
sons charged with being fugitives from
Justice.
we therefore condemn the act OF
James A. Collins. judge of the city court
Of indianapolis for his wrongful assump-
ton OF Jurisdiction over J. J. Mcnamara.
and for denying him the right of coun.
sci and opportunity to call witnesses
and communicate with his friends. as
a gross outrage and believe that as an
officer he is unworthy OF further hold
Ing any Office OF trust among people
who desire Justice properly administered
and riEhtfully upheld.
We denounce the acts of Governor
Thomas X. Marshall in the eXtradition
OF Brother J. ]. Mcnamara as grossly
unjust, lacking in consideration of the
rights OF an American citizen, i'll ad-
vised and beneath the dignity OF the
chief executive of the state.
We. therefore. regard Governor
Marshall as an officer who acts without
due consideration, forms his judgments
hastily. condemns without investigation,
accepts perjury and refuses thereafter
to rebuke, but chooses rather to con
done.
I'VE. therefore. ask every citizen to
disavow any connection with any move
ment or effort to further continue Gov
orner Marshall in office or to satisfy his
ambition for other or higher honors."
The convention also appropriated
$500 as contribution to the Mcnamara
defense fund

AN IMPORTANT COURT DECISION.
Supreme Court Of the State Of Washing
ton Declares Workmen's Compensa-
tion Act Constitutional.

Organized labor in the state of Wash
lngton is rejoicing over n decision re-
Gently handed down by the supreme
court of the state sitting in Olympia,
which sustained the constitutionality of
the workmen's compensation act passed
at the last session of the legislature.
This beneficient legislation was secured
through the united. continued and un-
firing efforts of the members of labor
organizations.
In handing down the decision the
court said "A business that seeks n
profit Mt the risk of the life and limb
of human beings is subject to regulation,
and that law is or ought to be. pro-
gressive science and the constitution
must be construed in the light of our
changed conditions"
The constitutional questions raised
were that the law deprived individuals
of their property without due process of
law; that II did not apply TO all alike
and was class legislation. that 1t was
contrary to the provisions directing
uniform taxation and that II violated the
right of trial by jury.
The decision was written by Judge
Fullerton and was signed by the full
court.

GREAT STRIKE IN OPERATION.
Thirty-Eisht Thousand shopmen on
Illinois Central, Union and Southern
Pacific Railroads Quit Work.

Following is the declaration made by
c. II. Markham, president of the Illinois
Central railroad: 1T would only be a
question of years till the operating men
became members of the system fedora
tion. That would place this railroad at
the mercy of a compact body of labor
able to enforce its demands by tying up
the entire system of organization" Its
sentiment was endorsed by the officials
of the Hartman system of railroads.
Acting on the above assumption the rail
road officials refused to enter into nego-
tiations with the Representatives of the
Illinois Central and Union and Southern
Pacific system federations. AS result
$4,000 shopmen are on strike in fifteen
states and twenty-four cities.
When the strike was called the mem
bers of the different organizations af-
fected promptly walked out The mum.
ber of workers of the sdifferent crafts
who went on strike follows: Boiler.
makers. 5000; machinists, 10000; car
men, $4,000; clerks, 1900; blacksmiths
and helpers, 5000: steamfitters, 500:
sheet metal workers, 1900; painters.
1000: laborers (federated). 1000.
The cities affected by the strike are:
Centralia. III; Memphis. Tenn; Oak
land. Cal; birmingham, Ala; Freeport,

On Saturday, September 80, the fol-
lowing message was flashed over the
wires from James w. Kline, president
of the Brotherhood of BIacksmiths, and
chairman of the strike committee:
"Kruttschnitt refuses. All efforts have
failed. All crafts to strike Saturday.
September 80, 10 a. m. Letter of in
struction follows. Let every man do
his duty" The men responded and the
great battle was on.
The railroad officials are making fran
tic efforts to replace the men with
strikebreakers. but are meeting with
soant success. The shops are guarded
and stockaded, but the men are conf
dent Of success. and are determined to
win. The citizens at the many strike
points are in sympathy with the strikers
and the strikebreakers have been the
only offenders against the law.

.nized by

legislation enacted or the efforts of men
working for the labor people, but that
they have never word to say against
the Parrys or Harrison Gray Otis, or
that class-whose natural allies they
are.
Their only object in staying in the
labor unions is to decry them and boost
the cause of their own particular politi-
cal party. Speaking of rotten politics
and dishonest methods, these people
have the old political parties backed
off the board" They resort to low
down tactics and untruthful statements
that the "old rotten politicians of the
old parties are too self-respecting to in.
dulge in. We are told, for instance, in
this screed of the Investigating" COM
mittee, speaking of the factory inspec-
tors: Formerly these political friends
of labor had go in and inspect a fac
tory in order to get their pay, now all
they have to inspect is their salary
when it is handed them"
For the information of the fnvestigat-
ing committee l will ask them first, did
any of them investigate the factory in
spectors and their work? They know
they did not, yet these LIARS spread
this venom broadcast Since the
amended factory inspection law has
been in effect, August 4th. three inspec-
tors worked until September 18th, when
the fourth was appointed, and these
three inspectors made in two months
652 inspections and ordered 335 safety
guards, sanitary recommendations, etc.
all of which will be complied with. and
the greater number have already re-
ported compliance. So much for the
dirty, disreputable lies of these great
and only friends of the laboring class.

The only thing that appealed to me was
the fact that he was a LABOR CANDI-

true. 1t was no fault of the few-some
of them the much dispised labor lead
ers-that this Investigating" committee
takes occasion to slur-faithful men and
women who worked for this purely labor
candidate; it was the fault of the men
and women in labor's ranks who failed
to respond to what was clearly their
duty, among them Mr.. Hosman. who 1
failed to see working either on the cam

purely labor candidate. Truly, labor

Failure on the part of the railway

who took part in the great English rail
way strike is likely to cause a renewal
of the trouble on a larger scale, accord
ing to the following statement from
Reynolds newspaper:
Apart from the new trobule amongst
the railwaymen IN Ireland, which is re-
ported in another column. there still re
mains a great deal of dissatisfaction
amongst the employees on English rail-
way lines. We have refrained from
commenting upon the existing unrest
owing TO the met that the special com
mission is sitting and is endeayorins TO
find a satisfactory settlement of the
various issues al stake. These are very
numerous. But last week We had TO
point out the existing troubles on some
of our railway lines. The men are de-
termined to have their grievances re
dressed, and unless something is done
promptly to relieve the present tension
there will probably be a national strike
of railwaymen. Since the recent strike
the membership of the Amalgamated
Society of Railway Servants has risen
by 5000 which is n sign of unity. The

amongst the men engaged on the Mid

large number OF those who were juniors.
and who worked through the strike,
have been brought to the front of the
seniors who did not work These
juniors will have precedence for promo
ton. and consequently the seniors are
penalized. This is contrary to the terms
of settlement, and is causing great dis
satisfaction. At Bradford the men are
complaining of vindictiveness, and ac-
tive preparations are being made with
the object of making the demand for
better conditions effective The eNecu-
tive committee of the Amalgamated So
ciety of Railway Servants have now the
matter in hand and are in conference
