Every Union Man in Boston
May Be Called Out.
Street Car Men Who Joined
Union Wers Discharged.

Boston, July S.-A general strike of
labor union workers in all industries in
Boston, out of sympathy for the strik-
ing street car men of the Boston ele-
waited street railway is the newest plan
developed by the Boston Central Labor
union. A resolution adopted by that
body instructs its executive committee
to determine the advisa bility of call
ing such a strike and to report as soon
as possible.
The strike of the carmen now is in it's
second month.
The strikers want recognition of the
union, claiming that the railway dis
charged men who Joined a union. They
also ask better wages and working con-
ditions. The company claims to be
running its full schedule with the as
sistance of strikebreakers and new en-
ployes.
Some 5000 conductors and motormen
are employed on the lines in Metropoli-
tan Boston. OF this number the strik-
ers claim that 1000 are out, while the
officia of the union formed by the
loyal employees claim to have a mem
bership of 8, 500.
The strike has been marked by con-
siderable violence, which has increased
during the last two weeks.

agement of the Campaign.
ANY OLD NAME WILL DO
So the Votes Are Cast for Pro-
greSSive Electors.
Sees No Need for Third Party
in Kansas.

New York. July S.-Roosevelt head
quarters made public here today long
telegram which Col. Roosevelt sent last
night to William Allen White at EN-
poria, Kansas.
"Our appeal nationally" says the
telegram, ''is of course to all men of
progressive principles regardless Of
past party differences. The action To-
cally must be guided by the needs IF
the local situation.
I'm any state where there is no real
Republican party I am entirely content
that the local organization should call
itself by the title of progressive Demo-
cratic if that is the local desire and if
they support the national progressive
electors.
Whereas in New York, New Mex
leo and Colorado the local organization
of both the Republican and the Demo-
cratic parties are hopelessly boss-rid-
der and reactionary, then we must
have a straight progressive ticket from
top to bottom independent of b6<h the
old parties.
Where, as 1 understand to be the
case in Kansas, South Dakota, Califor-
mia and other states the local Repub-
lican organization is progressive and
represents the principles for which we
stand I hope that they will be able to
make the fight locally for good govern
ment in whatever effective Organiza-
tions they have.
I feel that this year in the progress
siVe Republican states we should have
the support of the organization itself.
Moreover 1 feel that everywhere 1
have a right to expect the support of
the entire rank and file of the Repub-
lican party. 1 made a straight out
primary fight and in the states where
the Republican voters themselves had
the chance to express their wishes
won by two million plurality.
1.-The titular nation Republican par
ty today is not the party of the Re
publican voters and is not the party
of Abraham Lincoln but purely the
party of Messrs. Barnes, Penrose, Gug-
genheim and company, who have stolen
the doerplate with the name but have
no moral right to the name or any
thing else. Therefore 1 hold every
honest Republican who is true to Lin
coins memory and principles must vote
with US.
Under such conditions the entire To-
cal Republican organization in a state
like Kansas can rightly continue as
such and yet is in duty bound Loyalty
to support the national progressive
electors.
"Of course 1 feel that in every such
Republican state the pro-
gressive Republican candidates for any
office should openly support the ma
tional progressive electors and go i'll
the same column on the ticket, with
them. (Signed)
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

Since Senator Jones' Time Ac.

New York. July S.-There may DE
some disposition on the part of those
who are not well informed to take the
brief statement made by Daniel Gug-
genheim tefore he sailed for Europe
on Tuesday of last week with a few
grains of salt. Mr.. Guggenheim is
prominently identified with the Amer
lean Smelling company and also with
the Guggenheim Exploration COM
pany, which has been much occupied
in Alaska. Therefore what he has
sometimes in the past said for publi-
cation has been thought to be inspired
not wholly by impartial judgment,
that is to say, the cynics suspect that
Mr.. Guggenheim' remarks for publ
cation were from the point of view Of
his own large interests. But it should
be said that this is not the view of
fair minded men who are also men of
large affairs.
A year of two ago Mr.. Guggenheim
seemed to be somewhat disturbed,
fearing that business conditions in
the United States would not De salts

Best Year in Steel Since the Panic of
1907.

Pittsburg, July S.-The greatest busi-
ness prosperity since the panic of 1907
is indicated by the almost unprece-
dented volume of orders being received
by the steel and iron mills. AS a re-
suit, announcement has been made that
there will be no suspension of the
plants here during the summer, as has
been the custom for years.
The Pittsburg district received a Sc
we're blow during the panicky times and
the past six months have given the first
manifestation of a new era of prosper
ity.
Labor scarcity is the cause of no lit
tie concern. 1t is as difficult to secure
steel workers as it was a month ago
and employing agents are still being
kept at seaports to recruit as many
foreign laborers as possible.

himself, but he felt that he would like
to draw his aunt out and find how she
stood on the subject Of patches.

"Yo' unions Is injured plum scan

land hit pears ter me dat yo' hide
done suffer, too; you's got er turrible
scratch"
+ The child sighed. The injury to the
flesh was of small importance-he
could hide that from his aunt-but the
rent in his trousers was a serious
matter.
II wish I could get 'em mended fore
I goes home" he said wistfully.
Il tell you what do" suggested
Sam, II low Miss CeciliaIl holp yeh;

Billy hesitated.

pants, an / shame to ask her. An
I don't believe young 'omans patches

they's goin' to marry nohow. Do you?
Aunt Minerva ain never patched no
breaches for the major. And then"
with a modest blush, my unions Is
tore, too, an I amt got on nothin' else
to hide my skin"
Again he turned his back to his
friend and, his clouded little face look
ing wei his shoulder, he asked: DO
my meat show, SAM"
"She am visible ter the naked eye"
and Sam Lamb laughed loudly at his
own wit.
81 don't believe God pays me much
attention nohow," said the little boy
dolefully; "ev'y day I gets put to bed

suggested the negro, "'tain't fer, so

Sukey I say fix dem breeches."
The child needed nc second bidding
he fairly flew. Sans wife was cook
ing, but she cheerfully stopped her
work to help the little boy. She sew
ed up the union suit and put a bright
blue patch on his brown linen
breaches,
Billy felt a little more cheerful,
though he still dreaded ~confessing to
his aunt, and he loitered along the
way till it was nearly dark. Supper
was ready when he got home and he
walked into the dining room with his
customary ease and grace. But he took
his seat ~uneasily, and he was so quiet
during the meal and ate so little that
his aunt asked him If he was sick.
He was planning In his mind how to
break the news Of the days disaster
to her. u
You are improving, William" she
remarked presently, you haven't got
into any mischief today. You have
been a mighty good little boy now for
two days"
Billy flushed at the compliment and
shifted uneasily in his seat. That
patch seemed to burn him.
If God'd jest do his part" he said
darkly, Il wouldn't never git IN no
meanness." ....t.
After supper Miss Minerva washed
the dishes in the kitchen sink and
Billy carried them back to the dining
room. His aunt caught him several
times prancing sideways In the most
