Bryan Addresses
Ohio Convention
Gives Advice Almost Identical
With That of Roosevelt
in Columbus Speech
Declares Initiative Most Effective
Means Yet Proposed to
Give People Control
of Government

Coumblus, O.. March 12-"The ini-
tiative is the most effective means yet
proposed for giving the people abso-
lutte control over their government" !"
said Colonel William J. Bryan, today,
"The initiative and referendum do not
overthrow representative government,
they have come not to destroy but to
fulfill. The purpose Of representa-
tive government is to represent and
that purpose fails when representa-
tives misrepresent their constituents" !"
Bryan, in an address before the Ohio
constitutional convention urged that
the principles of the initiative, refer :
endum and recall be embodied in the
new constitution He urged the re-
call for all officers, including the
judiciary. Direct election of United
States Senators, better protection for
labor, employers liability and employ
ers' compensation laws, limitations on
the hours of labor, state income tax,
tax of franchises and the regid regu-
lation of all monopolistic or public
utility corporations were likewise aa-
vocated.
Bryan declared for a constitutional
provision providing state enactment
Of the federal laws prohibiting cam
paign contributions from corporations
and compelling publicity of campaign
amount candidate may spend in his
campaign.
Bryan dwelt upon the Importance
of the primary and said that plat
form pledges should be made binding
with punishment for violation or else
the platform should be abandoned en-
tirely. He advocated bank guaranty
to insure depositors against loss He
favored enforced publication of the
names of newspaper owners and OF
creditors when their interests are so
large as to amount to control.

near enough to rescue even any OF the
costly furnishings
Telephone messages were sent to tho
Compo Beach. the Southport and the
Fairfield fire departments, also to the
Vigilance Company In this town. The
Compo Beach department, nearest OF
all, sank into the mud near the shore
and it was several hours before the
apparatus could be extricated. Mean
while the automobile apparatus from
Fairfield and the companies from,
southport and WeStport arrived, but
all the firemen could do was to guard
against the spread Of the blaze to
other structures i'm the neighborhood.
Mr.. Dunne's home was an absolute
ruin and all, the furnishings were con-
sumed. The property is listed, ex-
elusive Of furnishings, with the West
port assessors at $12.875 The loss
inclusive of furnishings is estimated
at $4,000. Insurance was placed
through New. York brokers. @A5otIa

mortal bell to the Church of the As

COMMIT Tee
PREPARING
STATEMENT
Lawrence Strike Leaders OBJ
ject to Granting of Injunction
to Restrain Them From Hand
ling Funds
Especial from United Press.)

Lawrence, March 12-The sub-com-
mite of strikers of the Industrial
Workers of the World left at 1:1O this
afternoon, for Boston Immediately
following a message from Chairman
Ellis of the executive conciliation COM
mittee that the mill owners are pre-
pared to make the long promised de-
tailed explanation of the five percent
sliding scale of wage increases. The
committee left with every hope that
the explanation would be satisfactory
and that it would mean the immedt-
ate end of the industrial war which
has continued 10 weeks.
William Trautmann, one of the
strike leaders, who has been working
since early Sunday morning on a
financial statement regarding expendi-
lures of the big relief fund, announc-
ed, today, that some time after noon
he will publish details on all, receipts
will be used by the strike leaders as
reason why an injunction should not
be issued against them prohibiting
further handling of relief funds. This
Injunction has been asked for at the
request o1dnd Of Judge ,gsa LeysronI; State e. At
Johnson and others. because, Judge.
Leveroni says, he was not permitted
free access to the books of the In
dustrial Workers of the World. Judge
Leveroni is a minor judge in Boston,
who collected $500 for strikers relief
and who demanded to be shown all
the private records of the I. w. W.,
at the time he handed over the $500.
When this was refused he asked for
the Injunction, declaring funds ap-
proximating $4,000 had been misap-
propriated.
William Trautmann, William Hay
wood, and other strike leaders, de-
clared that the Trautmann statement
expected shortly after midday will
clear all this up and show that this
$4,000 has taken the place of pay
roll of over $4,000 every week of
the 10 weeks strike to care for nearly
5000 persons daily.
