Three Views Of
 Lawrence Strike
What Gov. FOSs, Immigration Inspector Gordon and Or ganizer Haywood Have to Say

Back of whatever causes there may be for this strike, the fundamental cause is the high cost of living, from which the working people of all parts of the country suffer, due in large part to the present excessive tariff. The purchasing power of the dollar continues to diminish''-Governor Flu gene N. Foss of Massachusetts.
 "The strike was part of the Social ist propaganda to make for a national strike as part of the worldwide move ment for social revolution. It was an essential part of the Socialist revolu- tionary movement which is spreading more rapidly than most people are aware of among workers whom the leaders of the movement find easiest to inflame. The Lawrence strikers are prosperous and average S9.50 a week which is increased where families work. to $1S."-F. G. R. Gordon, inn migration inspector who says he in vestigated the strike for the depart ment of labor.
 "Gordon's average takes skilled and unskilled labor, foremen and other high paid persons into considera ttion lars weekly This strike is due to the desire of the worke~s to earn lfv- ing wage. Do you think parents would let their children go among strangers to be cared for if they had any other recourse? Greed for the dollar by the big mill owners beneficiaries of the governmental policy. caused this strike. e."--William D. Haywood, strike leader.

100 LIVES ARE LOST IN
TERRIBLE STORM ON
SPANS NORTH COAST

MADRID, Aug, 15.-At least 100 and
possibly 200 lives were lost in a terri
bic storm which swept the northern
coast of Spain along the shores of the
bay of Biscay, according to dispatches
received here today from Bilboa
The storm ragged all day Tuesday and
Tuesday night, destroying fishing craft
in the bay, blowing down houses and
wrecking telegraph and telephone sys-
TENS. 1t was not until yesterday that
the first meager word was received here
that twenty were dead. Further in
vestigation today increased the death
list to 100, while it is feared that it will
go much higher
At Bermeo, a seaport sixteen miles
northeast of Bilboa, many fishing
schooners which were at sea when the
storm struck are missing with their
crews. The beaches are strewn with
wreckage and many dead bodies have
been picked up.

TAI 7 SENDS IN
HIS THIRD VETO

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1b.-Because
it makes no provision for the continue
ance of the commerce court and in
cludes the seven year tenure clause"
relative to government clerks, Presi-
dent Taft today vetoed the legislative
executive and judicial appropriation
bill carrying $34,OOO,OOO for the opera
ton of the government during the fiscal
year.
This is the third veto sent to con-
gress by the president in three days.
The president early today suddenly
called his cabinet to attend a special
cabinet meeting at the white house.
Secretary Knox was at his home pre-
pairing to leave for Japan. He has
tened to the executive mansion and
was the first to arrive.
The session ended at 12:45 o'clock.
The members announced the meeting
had been called to discuss the presi-
dents veto of the legislative, executive
and judicial bill, which he sent to con-
gress later. The president read the
rough draft of the veto to the cabinet,
revising it and making several minor
corrections.

Africa, the slaves in America and the
freedom of today.
Patti Brown, of Chicago, a famous
negro coloratura soprano, will take the
part of the slave girl on the auction
block and will sing a number of old
time negro songs.
The popular Fisk Jubilee Singers also
will appear in the pageant. They were
here at two previous music festivals
and are great favorites.
