LAFOLLETTE MAKES NO REPLY
 TO OSBORNE
Governor of Michigan ''Swiped" Progressive Crowd, BandstanC, Hall and All to Denounce WiSconsin'S Bob"
Executives Action Regarded Somewhat as a Discourtesy by a Host to the Man Who Was His Guest
(spectaa from United Press.)

(Spectaa from United PreSS.)
 Grand RarCds,, Mich, Jan. 3-Sena- tor Robert M. LaFollette. starting on the last day of his tour of this State, early today refused to make any an- nouncement on the address of Cover nor Chase Osborne, at Lansing, yes terday, when Osborne invited La Fol lette and Taft to withdraw from the race for the Republican Presidential nomination.
 LaFollette will make no reply. He refused also to comment on the Gov ernor's suggestion that the way be cleared for ex-Presfdent Roosevelt or former Senator A J. Beverfdge.
 LaFo.lette's friends in this State to- day feel that his candidacy has been stren gthened by what they character lze the peculiar and vitriolic personal attack of Governor Osborne
 The manner of it's utterance, at meeting planned for LaFollette and in LaFollette's absence, are the points insisted upon by the progressive fol- lowing as making the situation dis tinct.y favorable to the Wisconsin Sen ator-
 have been set on edge by the incident Many who have not been identified with the LaFollette campaign have expressed fears that Osborne's action may prove a boomerang and alienate both Taft and LaFonette men. spite ting the Republicans, progressives and conservatives wide open in the State. LaFo-lette's managers charge Osborne with ''swipiag" the LaFol- lette crowd, band, hall and all, after having given his speech to the news papers in advance.
 The regular" Republicans are laugh ing over the coup sprung by the Gov ernor. They look upon it as a trap deliberately laid and evaded by Sen ator LaFollette when he took the wrong train at Saginaw and was un- able to keep his appointment at the capital Expecting that the progress sive Republican leader would reply to- Osborne last night, tfe hall here was 5anlmed to the doors. But LaF'ollette| did not vary from his regular pro- gram in the slightest degree. He talked of the money trust He did not mention the 9overnor,s name nor did he. make any yelled references He talked only of the progressive pol iofeS and was frequently applauded- LaFouette holds that principles, not men, are the issues in the fight he is making
 At q. m. today LaF'ollette left for Kalamazoo. Tonight he will speak in Chicago and then travel through H. linois until Saturday.
 Outside of political circles there seems to be general denunciation of Governor Osborne's action, The Gov ernor was to have intro3zced LaFol- lette, and persons not inclined to be swayed by political questions regard his action somewhat in the light of that of a host guilty of discourtesy to his guest.

War Veteran Sends
 Conscience Money
 After AS Years
Especial from United Press.l


 Willimantic, Jan. 3-Conscience re- viving after 4S years dormancy is re- sponsible for a s65 check, today. in the hands of Captain c. F. Eaton. treasurer of the 21st Connecticut regi- mental association, intended for an unknown Civil War veteran who lost $40 cash in Virginia during the war. The check, including principal and i'm terest, was sent by a Kansas veteran, name withheld at his request, who found the money in an army wagon which had carried a portion ofA the Fist Connecticut Infantry.
 He had then tried to locate the owner, wrote the Kansan but had failed He rejected an offer from one soldier to split the money. Shortly after he found the $40, most of it was stolen from him, said the western veteran.
 "I can't remember now of thinking anything about it after the war was over,'' he wrote. until quite recently My conscience must have been dor mant for I have always taken con- siderable pride in being honest. I don't suppose there is one chance in a thousand that you will find the rightful owner. If not. you can use it for. some member of the regiment Or as you think best for the benefit of the regiment"

 Pending Outcome
Action of Challenge Cutlery
 Corp, In Resolving to Re store Longer Work Day, May Lead to Big Struggle Between Men and Masters

Following the anBouncement that the Challenge Cutlery Corporation would force the open shop on its un> ion employees. a rumor became cur rent today that a special meeting of the Central Labor union would be called to consider that matter. A spe- ciaI meeting of the executive commit tee of the Pocket Knife BIaGe Grind CTS and Finishers' union has been called for Friday and Saturday in this city by national secretary Fred A. Didshury. As told in the Farmer yesterday the union employees of a number of other ConnecIlcut cutlery manufactures are affected by letters similar to those received by the mem hers of the local branch of the grind CTS and finishers' union.
 From an unofficial source 1t was learned today that national secretary, Fred A. Dtdsbury has written to Sam uel Gompers, President oH the Amer. ican Federation of Labor, forwarding copy of the letter which the Com necticut Cutlery manufacturers have which declares for the open shop and the increase of the work day from nine to ten hours
 A- What action if any Will be taken by the Central Labor union remains 10 be seen. Jasper fMcLevy, Presi- dent of the Central Labor union was out of town today and an effort to ret in communication with other offi- cers of the Central Labor body was uuavailing. At the home of Secretary Didsbury 1t was said that he had left town and that possibly he might go to Washington, D. C., to confer with some of the national labor lead

 Although no statement regarding the letters issued by the Challenge Cutlery Corporation could be obtadn- ed from officers or members of the To- cal branch of the union this morning, ft is known that they are greatly ex- ercised over the matter and it is not 1freIy that they will resume work un- il the concern makes known whether or not there will be any change in the wage scale
 The pocket cutlery industry is pro- tected by an exceedingly high tariff and men employed in that business in this city and in Connecticut have been urged by their employers to vote the Republican ticket in order that the tariff might be maintained. Some of have acquiesced and voted the way their employers desired and that while the manufacturer has benefited they have not. Another cause for com Dlaint lies in the Introduction of grind ing machines which have been fnstall- ed in the Challenge Cutlery works and other factories in the stete. One the work of ten men and wherever they have been placed the force of hand grinders and finishers has been correspondingly reduced. At present the union men are waiting the meet 9nE of the executive committee.
