LabOr'S Parliament

The most important convention of the year is i'm
session in Seattle More important than congress.
For congress can do more than pass laws which
the people either want or don't want. And laws are
Of little account without public sentiment behind
them.
It is public sentiment which is getting itself form
uated in Seattle at the 33rd annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor-the sentiment of
the real makers of the nation.
When labor In America once makes up its mind
what 1t wants. 1t has the power to get it. The prob
lem of government in America is to find out what
labor wants. The problem of democracy in America
Is to teach labor to want what it ought to have-the
fruits of its toll the dignity of its service the ability
to think straight and the desire to be just.
Easily the first question at Seattle is how labor
with heavy overhead expense and LIABLE in crisis,
to pull apart; or into the Zone big union,'' with
labor's strength welded as unit.
This isn't question which onlookers can answer
Labor alone decide it. in the light Of experience
The debate promises to be interesting and instruct
i've; but change from the traditional basis of or
ganization need hardly be expected If it shall
come at all it will come only when the great body of
the workers of the country shall have made clear
that they want it and will be satisfied with nothing
else
Another subject of vital Importance is government
by gunmen-the sub-letting of the police power to-
hired mercena1ies in the pay of labor-crushng
porations.
This defiance of popular rule has become extensive
and intoerable Labor must end it or bid adeu to-
freedom. 1t has the power to end it if it will its
power at the ballot box. Here is issue upon which
it certainly ought to unite.
generation of experience in working together
has prepared the workers of America to hasten their
advance. At Seattle their parliament may thresh
out program. That once agreed upon the next step
should be to push it with enthusiasm not split into
factions and consume energy in criticism.

FIREMEN TO GO

BEFoRE STRIKING

New York, Feb. 4S-Not until every
possible plan of arbitration has been
discussed and rejected by one side or
the other will the hremen employed on
the "a eastern railroads be called out
on a strike This was made clear,
today, when Judge Martin. A KNAPP,
of the commerce court again conferred
with President w s. Carter, of the
firemenis brotherhood, and planned to
meet the railway managers later IN
the day.
President Garter asserted that Judge
Knapp had another plan of arbitra-
ton than under the Erdman act,
which he would submit Ito the man
ayers, today. If the railroads still
stand by. their demands for a settle
ment by an especially appointed COM
mittee then it may be necessary, to
call the strike, Carter said.
1t is expected that the work of the
mediators will end, tonight. If no
agreement is reached, today Carter
will prepare the strike call which
would likely become effective early
Monday.

EVANS REFUSES
TO TALK. ABOUT
TAPPED COCHES

Lyttleton, N. T., Feb 1S-If the re-
turning parties sent back by him are
in any way responsible for the death
of Captain Scott and his companions,
within IL miles of safety, it will not
be known until the personal diaries
and records of the dead. men are
placed in the hands of their families
The reticence of Commander e. R,
G.. R. Evans and the other survivors
the suspicious of those who visited the
relief ship that there was some Sordid
story back of what at first seemed
wholly tale of sublimated heroism.
Commander Evans said no records
found would be made public until they
were given over to the families of the
dead men. Captain Scott, in his last
m essage to the public vaguely limited
that his return to shelter was i'm
peded by shortage of fuel which, he
said. was a matter cannot account
for" If the diaries of the other dead
men make similar comment, the farni-
lies, it was limited today, might de-
mand an investigation through any of
three channels: The Admiralty, the
Royal Geographical Society or the
North British Geographical Society.
At frequent intervals on his way
south, Captain Scott left caches of
blubber and other supplies to sustain
him on the return trip.
On two occasions on his final dash,
the commander sent back return part
les. The last of these, from Lat. 81
degrees, 30 minutes, consisted of three
men under the leadership of Com
mander E. G. r. Evans In his last
message. Captain Scott comm ented
path etica11y on the shortage of fuel
and food in his supply depots.
Experts on polar exploration agree
there was no possible explanation ex-
cept that the caches were tapped.
When the Terra Nova arrived here,
Commander Evans refused to talk
about the death of Captain Scott or
discuss its cause.
s"The shortage of fuel which Cap
tain Scott referred to is of hardly suf-
ficient importance to deal with in a
communication to a newspaper" was
his IA comm ent.

ael Hughes Appeal from
Probate of Brothers. Will

DIR. John c. Lynch and States At
torney Stiles Judson had a merry tilt
this morning in the superior court
where the physician was called as a
witness in Michael Hughes appeal
from the probating Of the will of Mat
thew Hughes. The states attorney is
appearing for Father ]. B. Nihill of
St. Patrick's church to which institu-
ton the bulk of Matthew Hughes es-
tate was left.
During the cross examination At
torney Judson asked of DIR. Lynch,
The you a Catho4ic?'
The witness replied in the affirma-
tive.
s'You haven't attended church in
quite long time have you ?" inquired
the lawyer.
Before the witness could answer
OHara, representing Michael Hughes,
and the court ruled out any further
questions along that line
for Michael Hughes. He testified that
Matthew Hughes, whose will is now
in dispute. was not mentally capable,
in the opinion of the witness, at the
time the will was made.
On cross examination the physician
was asked if the various eccentricities
of Matthew Hughes as related by wit
nesses, would be considered as evil
denceS of insanity.
The fact that the testator had at
one time suffered from q stroke Oh

and walked up and down the floor
praying aloud, was called to the atten-
ton of the doctor. He was asked If
these facts taken alone would be con-
eidered as Indications of lack of men
tai balance. The witness replied that
such facts unless taken in connection
with other symptoms would have no
significance.
Several times during the cross
examination Attorney Judson became
exasperated at DIR Lynch's manner of
answering questions and charged that
the doctor was not treating him fair
ly. He asked the doctor not to argue
with his fist while answering. The
physician remained cool and collected
throughout.
Matthew Hughes left an estate esti-
mated at about $4,000 He was a
well known North Bridgeport resident.
His brother, Michael Hughes, is ap-
pea1ing from the decision of the pro-
bate court admitting the will.
The trial, which is before Judge
Burpee and a jury, was still on at
press hour.
