Labor Leaders Accused of Trampling
Upon Stars and Stripes While Ad-
dressing Meetings on Pacific

Washington. Jan. 1.-The war de
partment has come into possession OF
evidence OF the most Migrant out
rage on the part of labor leaders on
the Pacific coast In defiance OF the
government and the army. and invoiv-
ing direct insult to the American Nag.
The most direct evidence appears
in photographs received by Major
General Ainsworth, adjutant general
of the army.
These photographs show Samuel

Federation of Labor, standing on the
American flag at meeting OF labor
ing men which he was addressing.

the war department that they do not
regard the insults that have been put
upon the army as being ordered by
the labor organizations.
They state that there has been on
the Pacific coast during the last year

Much mystery surrounds this piece
of high finance in the minds of the
committee. The late John w. Gates
told remarkable story of how
he was eliminated from control OF the
Tennessee company without dollar
of actual money passing hands and
when the only possible motive of the
Steel corporation was its desire to
gobble up it's rival.
Judge Gary, head of the Steel cor
poration, and George w. Perkins,
then connected with Morgan Il Co.,
admitted that no money passed hands
but held that Steel corporation bonds
were exchanged for Tennessee stock,
then a drug on the market, and that
investors took the Steel corporation
securities and put out money to stay

Permit Them to Avoid Result Of

at Shanghai.

Picking, Jan. 2.-Advices received
here from Hankow say that a revolu-
tionary force of 1000 men have begun
an attack upon that city.
The fighting, which is reported to
be extremely fierce, continued nearly
all day An imperialist army of more
than $4,000 occupies Hankow and is
thought here to be amply able to de-
fend II from capture
Imperalists Are Pleased.
The leaders of the imperialists are
delighted at the turn of affairs DEM
onstrated by the latest outbreak. This
tunity of avoiding the result of the
proposed national convention, which
was to decide the future form of gov
crnment for China. 1t was the opin-
ion Of the imperialists that the con-
vention would vote for a republic. The
position the Republican conferees in
the gathering at Shanghai will take,
now that the revolutionists have made
an attack on Hankow, is awaited in
Picking with intense interest.
Word was received by the Manchu
princes here that the Republican de-
egates to the peace conference are
willing to grant a regal annuity to the
emperor and his clansmen and will
protect the ancestral tombs and es'
tates of the Manchus.
All to Be Treated Alike.
They will also permit the dukes to
retain their titles and will provide for
the Manchus until they can arrange
for some means of making living.
The Republicans also announce that
Manchurians, Mongolians and all 9th
ors will be treated as equals to the
Chinese and given the same privileges
IN the government of the country.
1t is understood that all details for
the abdication of the emperor have
been concluded, but the outbreak at
Hankow will probably defer the exc
cuton of the plans. not only for the
leavetaking of the emperor, but for
many other reforms that were about
to be launched
