Disgraceful Scenes En-
acted In the House of
Representatives to Pre-.
vent Law Enforcement
Bill Coming Up.

Representatives in Nashville on
Wednesday Of last week, the
scenes enacted while the follow
era of whisky, the upholders OF
anarch and the defenders of graft
we're filibustering to prevent the
bringing up Of the law enforce
ment bills for final action, were
more disgraceful than the worst
drunken orgy Of the days in the
reconstruction period, when the
niggers were lawmakers, and
drunk to beastliness on the power
the cArpetbaggers had given
them. But for the attempt on
the part Of the Regular Demo.
Gratis, with the help Of their rene
gade Republican allies, there
would have been no occasion for
disorder. It was evidently the
intention Of the whiskeyites to
repeat the performance Of the
day In the regular session, when
the fusionists were trapped and
the doors Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives guarded by armed
thugs, but the fusionists. seeing
the danger and knowing the I'M.
scrnpnlousness Of the desperate
gang, made some preparation by
way Of protection-and there is
no telling what might have hap.
pened had not that preparation
been made. What matter would
it be If P. O. Roberts were shot
down like q dog-in Nashville |?
None, and the fusionists knew
that If protected at all they must
protect themselves against the
thugs Of Nashville who infested
the capitol at the instance Of
that faction which gapes in ad.
miration at the vile mayors Of
Nashville. and Memphis, the pro.
tectors Of unlawful bawdy houses,
unlawful assignation houses, I'M.
lawful gambling houses and
worse, unlawful saloons. Some
men there were III the Legisla.
ture who owe it to themselves,
their families, their State and
the South to forever sever con-
nection with the worst set Of
political outlaws who have ever
escaped the penitentiary or the
hangman's moose. These men
plead for order, openly de
nonnced the action Of Stanton,
the plant tool Of Crump, and
signified their intention to up.
hold the majesty Of the law. Be.
low we reproduce some of the
talk and the action of the Speaker
and members:
Representative McDade, of
Obion county submitted in writ.
ing motion to bring up the law
enforcement bills that day and
atonce fifty1men were on their
feet demanding q roll call on the
motion. In spite OF that when
Representative Wilson, of the
whisky crowd made a motion to
adjourn, the Speaker took an aye
and no vote said the ayes have
IT. and declared the House ad.
journed. Pandemonium then
broke loose and the Speaker, &C.
ting the coward, on the pretense
that his life was in danger, left
the Hall. McDade took the
chair. supported BY the declara.
ton Of Clerk Cason, and had the
roll called, but there being no
constitutional majority present,
the roll call was Of no effect.
Andrew L. Todd, Of Rutherford
county, . man who has stood
with the whiskeyites in the ap-
pointinent Of committees, etc.,
arose and made an Appeal to
Reason" Todd seems to labor
under the impression that be can

enforcement. He never made o.
bigger mistake.
Royston, the unspeakable ass
and BLACKBOARD, from East Ten
nessee, charged that Represen.
tative FISHERMAN had accepted
q bride to 60 on the hegira to
Kentucky, and Royston couched
his charge in such vile language
that Representative Alternately,
whose wife was sitting beside
him, appealed Ito the manhood
and chivalry of Southern men to
suppress such vile language in
the presence of ladies'" Roy.
ston replied that "as he was in
the presence of Sunday school
people and religious cranks" he
would desist. In the meantime,
however, FISHERMAN replied to
Royston, lyon lie, you hound"
which was hard on the houn'
dorg.
Mr.. Emmons, who comes from
Chester county, and who was
pledged to his people to stand
for law enforcement, notwith.
standing the absurdity Of one of
the regular utilization making
such a promise, arose to q ques-
ton of personal privilege and
made q vitriolic attack on Hooper
saying in part that Gov. Hooper
had said that he had nothing to
do with the fire marshal graft"
and added And yet, "Ioverheard
him in an anteroom some time
ago make the statement to ap-
p!icants for Office that he, as
governor, controlled the fire
marshal appointments, and that
If certain-men would vote like he
wanted them, he would appoint
them to Office y
Gov. Hooper has too often
proved his metal for anybody to
doubt the manner in which he
will brand this statement as
made by Emmons.
Speaker Stanton, who wears
the Crump tag No. ] in the
House, arose to question Of per-
sonal privilege and attacked
Hooper in characteristic way,
when the Governor exposes his
kind. His words were very bit
ter in denunciation. He said
that the governor deal in filthy,
dirty, and vile lies" He termed
Major Stahlman "a liar, a thief
and a common crook"

man who belongs soul and body
to the unspeakable Ornmp, who
figures as a local whisky boss,
and yet is himself a slave Of the
general liquor interest: n
This man, Hooper, is q liar

Stanton.
HE is a liar, a sneak, a COW.
ard, and a disgrace to the state, "
he shouted again. He is n.y.
pocrit and and a liar, and hasn't
an honest. bone in his body"
Poor, pitiful Bryant, Of Glib
son, who has betrayed one Of the
best counties in the state, arose
a.
also for the double purpose Of
killing time--and helping TOXIN
the law enforcement billshe was
pledged to support. Bryant is
simply "A dead duck in the mill
pond" Of Gibson county. j. L.
Cochran, Of Obion, is another of
the same kinda man who wal
lows in filth yet claims to be
clean-but the Honorable, j. L.,
who can vote with the whiskyites
and backtax crooks, did not open
his mouth during the last days
except to state. that unless sinok-
ing was prohibited he would
leave. Uochran's political stom-
ach seems to be tougher than
his breathing apparatus.
Myers from Hamilton got on
MS feet and shouted:
THE republican was drunk

prOnlDIVi0u. ,''
Myers seems to be worried be-
cause Republicans, Democrats
every body--are not still drunk
and doing the bidding Of the
Whisky Devil. The Republican
party in Tennessee seems to have
gotten sober in Tennessee, while
Myers and his crowd are still on
the same old drunk.
Mr.. Green also made an attack
on the Governor, smarting under
the lash His Excellency had ap.
piled to the liquor crowd. Green
claims that his constituents are
against the law enforcement
bills and hence against law en-.
forcement. He said that Gov.
Hooper had urged him to vote
for conscience and against tue
wishes of his constituents, but
that he could not do it. If Mr..
Green had thought moment he
would have seen the folly Of
claiming to have a conscience
and at the same time voting for
the. rule of whisky and anarchy.

mr.. Johnsing" of Shelby,
who may be the fellow Of turn
me loose" fame, defended the
invisible parts Of Judge Harry
Kelly and Ed. Crump, said that
Orump was q great deal better
character than Hooper, and
doubtless is--from the stand.
point Of q saloon advocate. He
mentioned the pitiable fact that
Crump has brilliant wife and
fine set Of children, that he is
one of the most honorable men
holding Office ia the United
States, as he must be--from the
''Johnsing" viewpoint. He said
that until he came to the Legis.
lature he had respected Hooper.
but that he was disappointed.
He was perhaps surprised to find
Hooper q man who can 80 acu.
rately brand those who will even
fall in behind the forces Of back
tax graft, when the command
comes from the all powerful
with his species) whisky ring.
He said that neither he nor Kelly
nor Orump used liquor just go
ahead and do their deviltry in
cold blood and sobriety, we take
it. Finally he said to put liquor
out Of Memphis would ruin the
town. Mr.. "Johnsing" doubtless
sets as much value on the bawdy
houses, assignation houses and
gambling houses Of the Bluff
City.
Mr.. Smith, of Knox elogized
Gov. Hooper and added:
II want to say something
about the gunner episode now, F"
said Mr.. Smith. AT the re.
funding session several months
ago, q day or two before the cleo.
tion bill was alleged to have
passed, the fusionists were in.
formed that they were going to
be subjected to a lookup by
armed men. l for one did not
believe this, but I was wrong.
II transpired that civilized and
free. born Americans were locked
in this house while armed thugs
stood guard. Those men had no
more right to be armed than we
did.

Smith, I'VE knew what to expect

DULUTH CARPENTERS
DESERVE MORE MONEY
Unions In Cities Over Entire
Country Have Wages In,
creased-Need It Here.

The local union of carpenters is
still negotiating with the master
builders Of Duluth for an increase IT
wages from As to 80 cents per hour.
Duluth carpenters are greatly en-
couraged over news coming from
other portions of the country rela-
tive to wage changes In the carpen-
ters' trade. The members contend
that II the contractors in other cities
can raise wages they ought surely to
be able to do SO in Duluth.
During the month Of May carpen-
tors at Woodland, CAL, had thei:
wages raised from $3.50 to $500 per
day, just the amount that is asked by
Duluth carpenters. In Ithaca, N. Y.
wages of carpenters were raised from
S7h cents to 40 cents per hour.
After September LIST they will re-
ceive 43 cents per hour. In Fargo,
N. D., wages were increased from 40
to As cents an hour.
In st. Paul and Minneapolis car
penters are receiving so cents an
hour. There is no argument on the
other side. Considering the short
season in which carpenters are en-
ployed, 30 cents an hour is but a fair
wage It Is hoped the matter will
'be settled without a strike.

Before leaving Duluth, Mr.. Nc

He says that wages and conditions
are good in the west, but complained
somewhat Of the system employed by
the Rocky Mountain company Of
transferring its linemen from place

Of American Federation Of Musicians,
who attended as delegates the con-
vention OF the Musicians union held
at Toronto in May, have returned and
are preparing their report to be sub
nitted to the next meeting Of the To-
cal union to be held Tuesday, morn
ing at Moose hall.
The regular, meeting should have
been held last Tuesday, but a. many
members Of the union are with the
Third Regiment band on the booster
trip. the date was postponed.
The meeting to be held next Tues
day promises to be most interesting
Messrs. Berger and butcher will sub
nit their report and a delegate will
probably be elected to the convent ton
Of the Minnesota State Federation of
Labor. ..-
Speaking Of the convention, Mr..
butcher said that an alliance was
entered into the officials of the
Stage Employers union, which will
give each local union the power to
make Joining agreements with the
atrical stage employees and theater
managers. These agreements will be
offensive and defensive, and will in
sure concerted action at any time that
either the stage employees or musicians
have grievances in theater or other
place Of amusement.
The stage employees will hold their
annual convention in July at Seattle,
where It is expected the alliance en-
tered into by their national officers
with the American Federation of Mu-
sicians will be ratified. If the plan
is Endorsed in the event of a strike Of
either the stage hands or musicians in
a. theater, one union will be obliged to
help the other. President Shay rep
resented the. stage employees at the
A. r. Of M. convention.
President Daley Of the Metal Poll
ishers' union was also In attendance
at the A. F. Of M. convention. He
urged all musicians to purchase only
instruments bearing the label Of the
Metal Polishers' union.
Mr.. butcher was impressed, with
the fact that every official in Toronto
from tho mayor down who addressed
the convention, carried a union card,
and was an active member Of some
trade union. =:
