authorities to force the strikers into submission
In the incidents of the strike the public will find
many an excuse for, believing offhand that the in
dictment of the president Of the American Woolen
Company must be well founded But it does seem
almost incredible that the head of great corpora
tion like this, with everything to gain by keeping
the confidence and respect Of the community, and
everything to lose by their forfeiture, should de-
scend to methods Of industrial warfare that could
hardly be expected of even the hangers-on of the
labor unions.
William M. Woods crime if he is guilty, was
on a par with the McNamaras'. When these two
men were accused the public suspended judgment
until after they should have been tried. 1t may
fairly ask labor to do the in this instance.
Abundant proof has been afforded since the Nc
Namara incident that in such matters the courts
will show neither fear favor If Wood is guilty,
he will be convicted; and just because of his position
and his influence it may be expected that he will
be punished to the fullest extent the law allows.

General Coxey to Take
Stump for Socialists

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Some of his
friends thought that by this time Gen.
Jacob S. Coxey, who once upon a time
led his army of the Commonwealth up
on the Capitol grass at Washington and
got into trouble, would have declared
for the Progressive party, and been in
the thick of the fight.
But General Coxey, who said some
time ago he was having trouble finding
anybody TO vote for, said yesterday at
the Waldorf that people had guessed
wrong. Then he made the announce
ment that he was coming out for the
Socialist ticket, and beginning in Phila-
delphia on September %. he is going to
take the stump actively for Debs and
Seidel.
Roosevelt is doing today the same
trick Bryan played in 1896, when the
Populists had control of a number of
States, and had United States Sena tors
and members OF the House. Why, in
Ohio, when I was candidate for gov
ernor. in 1895, l polled 5000 votes. with
out any organization. The Populist
party had then drawn two-thirds of its
strength from the Democratic party.
and had to be got rid of. Bryan
stampeded tbs Democratic convention
on Populist ideas. Then his agents
went into the Populist convention at st.
Louis and made the delegates believe he
was the genuine article, and the re-
suit was soon the destruction of the
Populist organization"

"OLD LABELS" ARE USELESS.

Woodrow Wilson is still urging men to cast off
their old political affliation and 60 where they will
get political independence. In his speech at Will
liams Grove he called on his hearers not to feel
tied to the Democratic party because they had been
there or because that was its name. Said ne, as
quoted in the verbatim report:
We ought to lay aside in this day of reassortment
privilege and get together according to think
ing and according to labels and former associates
because We are being reassorted.
This is frank, if it is bit clumsy in dicton 1t
counses real freedom of action in citizens. Its
meaning cannot be mistaken. Read it in connection
with his declaration at Seagrt on August II:
suppose you know the force that is behind the new
party that has recently been formed the socaed
gressive party
1t is force of discomfort with the regular parties of
the United States. 1t is the feeling that have gone
into blind alleys and out often enough and that
they propose to find open road for themselves
No man who is disgusted at the way he has been
duped and msled by either of the old parties should
feel longer bound by the old labels. 1t is useless
further to hunt the blind alleys led by blind bosses
Loyalty to name is empty when the name covers
only group of bosses who have seized the title as
cloak for their own doings. The new party is the
party of real political freedom and rule of the people

A German festival, two tournaments,

day observed as a general holiday here,
the crowds early turned toward the
scenes of the different amusements.
Many Anacostia homes were decorated
today and, following an annual pra actice,
the home Of Joseph K Dawson, In
Talburtt street, was decked out in
elaborate style. UP at the Government
Hospital for the Insane the industrial
departments were closed SO far as
possible and as many of the 700 em-
ployes as could be spared were allowed
the day off.
The American and German colors
were entwined today at the German
orphan Asylum, where the annual
Labor Day festival, intended to bring
together many of the Germans Of the

Prodigious Waste in
Use of Coal, Says Expert

Waste i'll coal in the United States is
prodigious, according to a statement
issued by DIR. Joseph A. Holmes, d.
rector of the Bureau of Mines, who
bases his declaration on a comprehen-
sive report submitted by c. l.. Par
sons, chief mineral chemist of the bu-
reau.
OF the total annual production of 5O0-
100000 tons, 25O00OOOo tons is either
wasted or left underground after being
mined, says the report, and this left
underground coal has probably been
rendered unfit for future use.
Anticipated coke making methods are
responsible for loss of approximately
$4,000, 0Oo, says Dr. Holmes, and 9.O00.-
900 tons of sulphuric acid escape up
smelter chimneys; Ninety per cent Of
the energy of the coal consumed is
wasted, according to the findings of
physicists, but this probably will not
be remcdied until some genius finds a
method for the direct conversion OF
heat energy into electrical energy.

DECLINE OF AMERICAN PRESTIGE.

prestige is sadly waning and the worlds respect for
disappearing

insulted in Central America, Haunted in Mexico,
shown to the door in Canada denounced in Colom-

TWO LIBERALS ARE
PICKED TO SUCCEED
AMBASSADOR BRYCE
Lewis Harcourt and J. AL
fred Spender Named as
Possibilities.

Again reemingly well-founded rumors
are rife in diplomatic circles to the ef-
feet that the British Ambassador.
James Bryce. will not retain his post
many months longer.
Already Lewis Harcourt, secretary of
state for the colonies, and j. Alfred
Spender editor of the Westminster "a
zette, are mentioned as Liberal candi-
dates to succeed Ambassador Bryce.
Neither belongs to the diplomatic SER
vice, the idea being that the Washing
ton post Is not adapted to professional
diplomats whose careers have been
spent In European capitals,
One Of the principal reasons for the
belief that Mr.. Bryce will retire soon
is that he has held the post for five
years and has reached the age of seven
ty-four 1t is also urged that the power
of the Liberal government Is On the
wane and that those IN power consider
the Washington embassy a suitable re-
ward for some deserving member OF
the party.
Harcourt Strongest.
Mr.. Harcourt looms up as the strong
est possibility to get the post He is
practical politician and a society man,
and has strong social and political back
ing. His wife was an American, the
daughter of the late Walter II. Burns,
OF New York He is said to be anxious
to come to Washington.
Mr.. Spender's claim 10 the post Is the
fact that he has been the most infiuen-
tial writer supporting the Liberal party,
although the Westminster Gazette is
not the most powerful organ of the Lib
erals in London. He and Mrs Spencer
were among the select few to attend
the Kings tea In the royal tent at the
last royal garden party. and this fact
Is regarded as significant of influence
he has with the political powers.
Bryce Coming Soon.
Ambassador Bryce is expected to re-
turn to Washington this month from his
trip to the far East. Whether he will
take up his duties at the embassy or
will be relieved in the meantime is con-
jectural, but in any event there are
strong reasons for crediting the rumors
that his tenure will be comparatively
short.

per. was nominated to succeed himself

sion OF the constitution was adopted.
Mr. Lepper was unanimously nomi-
mated.
Next Sunday the election of the Off
