WORKMENS LIVES
LITTLE COUNTED
Human Blood Nothing To
Manufacturers,
SAYS LABOR LEADER GOMpERS
Strongly ArraignS Antitrust
LegiSlatiOn-Law Is
a Bit Askew.
BEFORE COMMITTEES,

Washington, Sept. 13.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. closed his two
days testimony before the House
Lobby Committee last night with a
dramatic warning to the manufac-
turers of the country. defense of
the legislative activities of the Fed
Grafton and a bitter attack upon the
Sherman antitrust law as applied
to labor unions.
Gompers spoke at the end of a
day devoted TO an inquiry into the
political and legislative efforts of
the Federation. He began with a
statement that in the United States,
which has burst" into industrial
life, there is no feeling between en-
ployer and emplOye such as is found
in European nations, where indus
trial life has to some extent taken
the place of serfdom and of rela-
tons between master and man, the
product of centuries. In Europe. he
said. this transition had been
accompanied by a deeper feeling for
the employee, and in consequence
those countries We're decades ahead
of the United States in legislation
for the protection of the lives of
workingmen.
1.-THE lives of workingmen count
for nothing in the United States"
said he. ut seems to me that the
life of horse is of more value than
the life of human being to our
manufacturers. If this slaughter
does not end | do not know what
our industrial, commercial. political
and particularly our humane life
will come to-" The manufacturers
of this country. he added. opposed
all acts of legislation designed to
protect the workingman. ..A
Reviewing at some length the
court decisions against labor organi-
cations under the Sherman act, the
witness said:
The Federation exists at the suf-
ferance of an administration. I'M
der the Sherman law and the pro-
cedure of the courts the normal ac-.
tivities of the association in the ex-
eroise of power are no.more than the
individual exercises every day-the
power to withhold patronage-are
restrained and threefold damages
can be claimed and obtained.
1T seems to me the law is a bit
askew or otherwise 1t would not
permit such thing" he added. with
a shake of his head.
The witness testified that he had
recommended to the House Commit
tee on Committees the appointment
of either Representative Lewis. of
Maryland. or Representative Buch-
anan. of Illinois. as chairman of the
Labor Committee. Lewis was ap-
pointed. he said. although not the
highest man on the list of Demo-
cratic members.
He was asked at length about
Martin NJ. Mulhall's effort to get
the Federation to print his now IA
nous letters. and about his relations
with Representative McDermott. one
of the men involved by Mulhall.
Gompers said McDermott had been
most insistent that he take up the
Mulhall letters. but feared at that
time that Mulhalls supposed repent
ance was not genuine, and only a
ruse to get the Federation in the
clutches of the Manufacturers Assoc
citation.

GOV. CRUCE OPPOSED To
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Oklahoma City. Sept. l5.-TherS
in the State of Oklahoma after Lee
Cruce ceases to be Governor but
there will be no change in the pres
ent executives policy against the
death penalty.
Above is the substance of what
the former Kentuckian and present
Governor of Oklahoma told dele
cation of Guthrie, Okla. citizens
who called on him TO inquire what
he would do If the negro. Lew
Green, who killed two Guthrie Off
GERS, while resisting arrest last Sun
day, was convicted and sentenced
to death
Gov. Cruce regarded the question
as important. but answered IL as
above. further stating that his posi-
ton on the question of capital pun
ishment was known TO every one in
Oklahoma who had taken any sort
of pains to find out his position. and
reiterated that there would be no
hahgings in the State while he held
the executive chair.
Gov. Cruce commented on the fact
that there were now seven or eight
persons sentenced to be hung. con-
fined in the penitentiary waiting to
have their cases passed on by the
Supreme Court. Discussing the
Green case the Governor said 1t
might not reach him during his
term-that Green might be ac-
quilted or the trial might not be
concluded during his term of Office.
and if IL did he would either per-
init the Judgment to be carried out.
or grant a stay of execution into ths
next Governors term. Then"

CHAST|S|NG OF
FATHER BY SON
Is To Be investigated BY
Grand Jury.
A RECONCILIATION EFFECTED
But the Matter Has Not Been
Abandoned In Court
Circles.
STATEMENT by THE son

indianapolis, Ind. Sept l5.-Al-
though Rev. Elijah A. Hanley, pres
ident of Franklin College. and his
aged father. Calvin Hanley, OF Mid
dletown, Ind, have effected recon-
citation. the grand jury at Terre
Haute tomorrow will continue an
investigation of the whipping of the
father by the son.
Prosecuting Attorney Werneke,
of Terre Haute. says that the inves-
tigation will be thorough. An in
dictment may be returned, although
Calvin Hanley is said to have no de-
sire to appear against his son.
Included in the list of witnesses
summoned to testify tomorrow are
Mrs. Calvin Hanley, on whose ac-
count the noted educator punished
his father: DR.. and Mrs. Oakley
Hanley, of Indianapolis, and neigh
bors of the Hanley family at Mid
dletown.
The momters of the family insist
that Rev. Ifar'ev was not severe in
whipping his father. but the physi-
clan who had charge of the case re-
ported that there were ugly looking
wounds on the back and abdomen
and that the aged man was in Sc
rious condition. He now Is recover
ing and is said to have forgiven his
son when the latter called on him
last night.
Rev. Hanley reached here to-nigh'
en- route to Franklin to resume his
position at the head of the college
The sentiment there is divided for
and against him. but several mem
bers of the Board of Trustees ofathe
institution have declared publicly
that, as distressing as the whipping
incident is. they believe Rev. Hanley
did the right thing.
1t is the belief now that the Board
of Trustees will not attempt to make
any changes at the college because
of the trouble between Rev. Hanley
and his father.
"The report of my fathers injur-
les. deeply sorry as | am for them,

WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU.

ANACOST1A, ID. c. NOV. 10.
The Minnesota Avenue Improvement
Association has recorded itself in OPP
position TO the establishment of addi-
tional saloons in Anacostia. The asso-
citation considered the liquor question
and its relation to Anacostia at a meet
ing last night, when the views of nearly
all present were expressed against the
transfer of any liquor licenses from
Washington to Anacostia. With one
such application pending and others in
prospect, the action OF the ASSOCIATION
was ordefed communicated to the ex-
else board. -:
Deep interest was manifested by the
association In the declaration of prin-
cipleS sent over by the Tax Reform As
sociation of the District. The proposal
to shift from the present system of tax
alton to one on land values aroused Ia
yorable comment
The association will communicate with
the tax reform organization and will
accept its invitation to hear the prin-
ciples explained by representatives of
the society. The local association voted
to go in a body to hear the lecture In
order that the. members may become
acquainted with the details of the pres
ent system of taxation in the District,
as well as of the proposed changes.
The need of a transfer between the
Capital Traction Company and the
Washington Railway and Electric COM
pany at Eighth and G streets south
east. in the interest of Anacostians,
who have been seeking this privilege
for long time, came up for discussion
again on a report submitted by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, to which tlse
association referred the matter, setting
forth that for a nominal amount SINH
lar transfers are issued between these
lines in other parts of the city. The
association suggested Shat the transfer
be made a two-cent one. The Public
Utilities Commission stated that 1t is
examining into the situation and will
advise the association of its findings
In answer to the associations plea
for trolley line to connect Anacostja
and Suitland, Md, by way Of the Good
Hope and Bowen roads. the Public Utili-
ties Commission reported that it has no
application before it for such a road.

ion
The association has requested the

that an enormous amount of valuable
time has been wasted in the special

II Is agreed, even by many Of the
Democrats, that there has never been
any real and adequate reason why the
con mittees Of the House should not
i;aye worked through the special ses-
sion getting bills whipped into shape;
20 reason why the House should not
have begun passing bills after the tar
IN bill was disposed of, and no reason
why the Senate and its committees,
WHOM not engaged on the tariff, should
not also have been busy.
The excuse given by the DemocI attic
leaders for not taking up the vast
amount of work before them has been
that they did not want to distract the
att sntion of the country from the tariff
and currency bills. But the real rea
SOIL in the opinion of competent OBJ
servers here and astute men in Congress,
is that the party in power invariably
seeks to hold back legislation rather
than press il, on the theory that the
more laws are enacted the more it will
be held responsible for.
in any event, apart from tariff and
currency, Congress has frittered away
all spring. all summer, and most of the
