Il have not studied the will" said Mr.

Mr.. Olcott took occasion TO defend
the action of Governor Dix and in a
statement he replied to the several crit
cisms made Thursday and by attor-
neys and others connected with the pros
ecution OF Patrick.
In this statement Mr.. Olcott said
"of course. it is the precedent in an
application for a pardon that the dis
trict attorney who tried that case and
the Judge before whom it was tried,
should be heard before any action is
taken.
Beginning with Governor Higgins and
going through to Governors Hughes,
White and Dix, every governor except
Governor Dix has had this pardon appli-
cation before him by my insistently
knocking at their doors.
Each one followed the precedent of
asking Justice Golf and former District
Attorney jerome for their opinions, and
to each of them those officials have rem
dered an opinion strongly and unchange-
ably against Patrick. When Governor
Dix took up the matter, therefore, il
would have been double work for him
to have asked for these opinions agan
"They were on file unalterable by
their very terms. and it was in spite of
these opinions that Governor Dix con-

his case.

At a public reception rendered to the

American Federation of Labor by The
Rochester Typographical union, Presi-
dent Lynch in his address was emphatic

number of members of the local union
compared with the total number of
printers employed in the city, and stated
among other things: 81 believe it will
require something drastic, such as cut
ting their wages in two and doubling
their hours to labor to convince non
union printers that they should come
into the union. | am ashamed to reveal
the wage scale you are working under

ceived a demonstration worth while.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the Amer
lean Federator of Labor. also spoke, con-
fining his remarks to the general labor
movement.
While there are many pseudo political
economists who vehemently claim that
the conditions of the working people can
be bettered, established and controlled
by political action alone, an instance
in Trenton, ~ j., bellies the efficacy Of
this plan of procedure. A meeting was
recently held in the Young Womens
Christian association rooms, at which
