W. A. White on Che Strike
New York, March After max
ling personal investigation e the
strike conditions IN Lawrence
Mass, William Allen White the
Kansas author and editor said the
cause of lhe strikers was Just one.
He was convinced their wage de-
mands were reasonable and that
there has been no excuse for the
violence shown towards them by
the police and militia
Probably The strikers and mill
owners both were rash and hasly,"
White said here today, but the
enormous profits Of the mill owners
make il obvious that the wage fund
in Lawrence has been diverted
from the workers To the surplus
of the capitalists.
For The men sent by state and
the city to keep peace to club wo-
men % drive women through lhe
common like sheen, to treat the
strikers inhumanely as they are
treated in Lawrence, only breeds
anarchy and disrespect for The law.
The strikers are foreigners, but
many of them reflected to me at
least better Amcricanism, a
clearer vision of what America
stands for Than did many Of those
who sneered al them
The brutality OF The guardians
of the peace reflects The spirit Of
hard injustice Of public officials
toward the poor the public SER
wants find their masters all inhu-
imam and miserable"
The end OF the strike involving
10000 operatives is thought TO be
In sight Many mills posted notices
lof an advance 10 wages of al least
3 per cent The advance viii af-
/ feet nearly 10000 operatives in
/ Lawrence and vicinity.
While ,he Industrial Workers Of
lthe World, whose 1900 or more
members are idle. have moi agreed
to return under The increase as
posted, il Is thought many strikers
will return next week. The 5 PEI
cent advance is based ON The 81
hour law, OF in other words the in
lcrease viii add to The WAGES paid
for 81 hours of work a week
The strike is nominally due to 3
reduction in wages made under q
two hours cut in time, but The
struggle lated developed into a de-
mand Of IS per cent advance.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, ID. O., Aug. o.
The river and harbor appropri-
alton bill which was signed by
President Taft IN Thursday
carries in round numbers $780,
259, 900, the Senate having adj
ded to the bill as it passed the
House $S,o54, 900 and struck out
1898 600, making net increase
of 1881, 900. w lille this
amount the general consen-
sus of opinion is that much of
the increased appropriation was
well advised, especially that
portion dealing with the Mis-
sissippi River for levee work,
an imperative demand having
been made upon Congress by
the thousands affected by the
floods of last spring which not
only Destroyed millions of prop
erty but lives as well.
The signature of the Presi-
dent to the River and Tarbor
bill makes more certain the
policy of an annual waterway
bill, which has been one of the
cardinal principles of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Con
gress since its organization ten
or more years ago.
An absorbing question to
those who seek out curious pos
sibilities in politics and election
results is what would happen
in the event no candidate for
President should receive ma
jority vote in the electoral col
lege, and the election should,
under the Constitution, be inn
posed upon the House of Repre-
sentatives, in which the states
in such emergencies vote Sc
verally as units. The two great
political parties being n tie in
the unit control of the states,
an election, with the Represent
tntives adhering to party lines,
would be impossible, unless by
reason of death or resignation
there should result such a
change of the unit complication
as TO permit an election. OF
course, it liz an extremely re-
mote probability, but still the
very existence of the possibility
exposes n defect in our grand
scheme of Republican govern.
