WAR NURSE,
MRS. HOOKS, SUCcUMBS
Once Presented Cross of
Honor on Field of Battle
for Heroic Work.

Mrs. Annie +. Hooks. widow of Capt.
Charles A. Hooks, a Union veteran of
the civil war and an employee of the SEN
ate, died yesterday morning at Provi-
dence Hospital after a long illness. Her
funeral will be held tomorrow morning
from Lees chapel. Interment will be in
Arlington national cemetery.
Mrs. Hooks, who was nearly seventy
years old. became famous as one of the
nurses who We're decorated for distin-
guished service during the war. When
war was declared Mrs Hooks, then Miss
Annie Blair, was living in Michigan. She
went to the front with the ID Michigan
Regiment as volunteer nurse, and
served until the close of the war with
the I'd, Sd and 9Th Regiments.
Always at the Front
Mrs Hooks while connected With the
Army Of the Potomac was actively en-
gagged in every battle her regiment took
part in. Mounted on pony, Mrs. Hooks,
supplied with bandages and other equip
ment of her profession, was nearly al
ways in the very front rank. On several
occasions during the campaigns in which
she took part it was necessary for Off
guard to protect her from great immedi-
ate danger.
After one battle Gen. Birney publicly
presented Mrs. Hooks with the Kearney
cross of honor on the battlefield She
was one of very few women to re-
ceive this badge of distinguished service,
and priced it highly during her entire
life. She also received testimonials for
gallant conduct from Gems. Birney.
Richardson, Hancock and Pierce, and
from Coils. Poe and Hayman.
Was Twice Married.
Before the close of the war Mrs
Hooks, then Miss Blair, married one of
the Union soldiers named Ethelridge.
Her second husband, Capt. Hooks, lost
an arm in the war while serving with
one Of the Connecticut regiments
When Capt. Hooks received an ap-
pointment as an employe of the Senate
he and his wife made their home in
Washington, where both remained until
death. For number of years Mrs
Hooks was employed in the Treasury
Department. About year ago her
health began to fail, and soon after
ward she was forced to become an in
mate of the hospital where her death
occurred yesterday.

cause delay and put back the work on
the stands. The Senate committee how
ever, was willing to let the bill stand as

EXHIBIT URGED
AT PANAMA EXPOSITION
Louisiana Men in Congress
Say They Stand Ready to
Vote for $4,000, 900.

The state of Louisiana through its sena-
tors and representatives in Congress got
behind the proposition yesterday to ap-
propriate S2,0OG,O00 of government money
to represent the United States in the Pan
ANA exposition in San Francisco in 1919.
The southerners unanimously Endorsed the
project. They We're SO friendly about it
that one almost forgets that two wears
ago these same Louisiana men were fight
ing tooth and nail against the men from
the Golden Gate trying to get the expo
sition in New Orleans
The question of a national government
representation at the exposition has never
been settled. President Taft has strongly
recommended legislation along this line.
1t is fathered in the House by Represent
ative w. A. Rodenberg of tIllinois. who
led the fight for New Orleans The prop
osition calls for two-million dollar gov
eminent exhibit. the building to house the
governments display to be of a permanent
character for use by the government when
the exhibition closes. The measure has
been unanimously reported from the
House committee on industrial arts and
eXpoSitionS by Representative Cullon of
Indiana, who was also u Louisiana sym
pathizer in the fight for the exposition
site
At the session of the Louisiana deleca-
ton yesterday Senator-eiect Broussard
was instructed to make a statement on
the delegations expressed intention to
favor and support the Rodenberg measure.
Declare Legislation Necessary.
We people of Louisiana he said
know that it is absolutely necessary
that the United States government par
ticipate in this exposition We waged a
bully fight for the exposition location but
were worsted. California knew she had
been in a scrap when we got through
with her. We have no sore spots in Lon
fsiana character. and today we stand
ready to aid California to the best of our
ability to make her show the greatest
the world has ever seen. The legisla-
ton asked for is necessary. The Presi-
dent, by congressional direction, has ex-
tended to all civilized nations an invita-
ton to participate in the San Francisco
show
Many of the nations have already sig
nfied their intention to participate by an
exhibit illustrative of their resources
The people of Louisiana are in full sym
pathy with the patriotic desire to make
this exposition the greatest and most
successful ever held. and we, as its rep
resentatives in the Senate and House of
Representatives. declare strongly for leg
islation at this session which will pro-
vide for a dignified and comprehensive
government exhibit.

that organized labor has been long
contending.
1t cannot be conceived that mod
ern industry will be carried on sue
cessfully if employers assume that
they have the right to offer whatever
wages they please, and dictate all the
conditions under which men shall
work.
Workingmen must be given a
chance to bargain with the employer
as to these matters. 1t is manifestly
impossible in the present stage of in
dustrial development for each indi-
Vldual Workingman to make his own
bargain. The workers must deal COL
lectively with the corporation.
AS conditions of trade and methods
OF work have been so thoroughly.
standardized, it will be to the ad-
vantage of the employer as we'll as
the men If the representative of all
the men can bargain with the rep
resentative Of all the employers. This
will place the employers upon an,
equal footing in so far as the pay
ment of wages, and the number Of
hours worked are concerned. It then
resolves itself into a question of per-
sonal efficiency
The trades union is eager to have
employers form strong organizations
OF their own, so that they may deal
with responsible persons in their
business transactions.

Labor Problems Must Be Settled
r Upon An Honest Business Basis
BY THE REV. CHARLES sTELZLE

Like most other reform movements,
organized labor seeks to- abolish pov
erty. But it does not spend it's time
dreaming about a millennium in
which all wrongs shall be righted and
all ills cured. It's leaders are op-
portunists. They are alert to the
though only partial relief. They are
convinced that the workingman is
not receiving his. just share Of the
common product. They are not pre-
pared to state just what that shall be,
but they insist that we: have not yet
reached the point in: our industrial
lie when the Workingman should be
satisfied with his wages.
1t is not fair to ask labor to speci-
fy any given amount with which it
promises to be satisfied for all time.
Money has changing value in diff
terent sections of the country and
at different periods of time. Also
the development Of our industrial life
may pc such as to completely. alter
the relative value. of the services of
both employer and employee. The in
PRODUCTION of labor-saving machinery,
Tor example, may revolutioniZe our
chief industries.
The working man feels that he is
entitled to a. fair share in the pro-
duct of all improvements. He is not
ready to commit himself to any con-
tract which will prevent his. secur-
ing future, and what will then be
conceded, perfectly legitimate ad-
Vances in his wages. The labor union
makes contracts for only a limited
period. Employers themselves prefer
this arrangement, for they cannot tell
what may develop from their view
point in the course of time.
In any case, the increase in wages
and the shortening of hours of la
bor-the two principal points of con-
tention between capital and labor
must be worked out upon an. evolu-
tionary basis. such changes being
made from time to time as conditions
warrant.
1t is not Reasonable to suppose
that either capital~'or labor will ever
permanently secure position Of su-
periority one above the other. They
are both too strong for such a situa-
ton to long continue. The proba bill
ties are that after they have both
come to respect each other because
they have learned to appreciate one
another's power, they will get togeth-
er in business-like manner and
| make collective bargains for the par
ticular groups of persons which they
| represent 1t is for such program
