UNIONS TO FIGHT EMPLOYERS
The power of workingmen to win
strikes and enact labor laws by
threat or action of withdrawal of
bank deposits was brought before the
Socialist national committee yester--
day. A committee uon monetary
credits and banking offers this sug-
gestion in it's report:
eff the working class could be in
duced to cooperate in the exercise
of their economic power, as do the
bankers, they could win any strike,
enact any legislation or achieve any
result they might desire.
''The- savings deposits of the United
States are the property of the work
ing class and amount to six and one
half billions of money"
The signers of the report are Karl
F. M. Sandberg, a practicing Chicago
physician, and Arthur LeSueur,
South Dakota farmer. They predict
that the time is coming when organ
lied workers will find that in crises
they can deliver fierce blows at their
enemies by having all WOrklngmen,
bank depOsitors and their sympath-
izers pull out their money from the
banks.
A Day Book reporter asked DR..
Sandberg: do you mean that you
would deliberately bring about a run
on a bank, if you could?"
He replied: when a bank is
friendly to our enemies and is actual
ly using money we have put in, the
bank to fight us in a strike or at a
state legislature, run on a bank
should, be considered as a fighting
tactic. Bankers exist only by the suf-
ferance of the mass of people who
put their money into banks. When
they use our money to fight US we are
fools to let them do it.

suggested for economy and en-
cheney by Victor L. Berger. He said
Chicago is the one city for such a
permanent headquarters, as it will
play the same historical part in this
country that Paris has in Europe.
Winnie Branstetter of the woman's
department defended her action in
starting the collection of fund for
strikers children in Calumet and
West Virginia. S6,147 was raised.
Mayor Duncan of Butte, Mont, and
others held that the party is political
In purpose and should leave the rails
ing of funds to the unions. The ma
tionaI. executive committee will con-
slider the establishment of a regular
department for the raising and hand
ling of such funds.
The fractional qUarrels of the state
of Washington were threshed' out.
The party there has been spIit>with
internal strife for ten years. Kate
Sadler for one faction said Seattle
would have been carried by the So
cialists at the last election if there
were no split. She asserted that DR..
Brown, leader of the dominant fac
ton, is a millionaire and using his
money for party control. The report
of a special committee, whose mem
bers went to the state and investi-
gated, was rejected. Three media
tors were appointed to go personally
to the state and try to get harmony.
The committee adjourned last
night.

Washington, March 10.--Upon re-

gators, j. G. Koon and c.. d. Ellis
worth. Postmaster General Burleson
today announced his decision to re-
organize the Atlanta (Ga.) postoffice
and put in immediate effect a num-
Der of reforms and changes designed
to make it a model office.
The investigators reported the At
lanta office to be Operating nominal
ly under the two division plan, but di-
vided In reality into four distinct
groups" Mr.. Burleson now purposes
that the Office be operated by two
main divisions, one for handling the
mails and the other for supervising
its finances.
"In this way supervision becomes
more effective" said the announce
ment, methods more uniform and
personnel and equipment more Inter-
changeable and supplementary, than
under the old arrangement by which
all Office might be subdivided into
four or more sections, each independ-
ent OF the other and unable to coop
crate to the best advantage Of ALL"

cd tavorably.

Washington, March 10.-Action on
the proposed repeal of the Panama
toll exemption will be concluded in
the house before the senate committee
on interoceanic canals begins formal
consideration of the controversy. This
was determined today after q can
vass of members OF the senate com
mittee who believe the matter first
should take its course in the lower
house. Senator OGorman, chairman
Of the committee who will lead the
fight within the party ranks against
repeal. tonight said he did not expect
to call the committee together until
the house has acted.
Should the\ house fail to pass the
repeal which administration leaders
think Is improbable. the matter would
not be dropped in the senate. Senator
Root has repeal bill pending before
the committee, and an amendment to
the Panama canal act was introduced
last week by Senator Chiffon to give
the president absolute authority over
canal tolls.
The house committee on interstate
commerce today favorably reported
the Sims bill to the house revised so
as to repeal all features Of the exist
ing exemption clause. 1t probably
will be taken up in the house soon.
The committee had eliminated af-
ter the provision that canal tolls shall
not exceed S1.25 per net registered

OMIT LiNTERS IN FUTURE.
Will Not be Included i'm Cotton Re-
pCrts-HaIris Explains Why.

Washington, March 10.--Future
annual reports of the census bureau
on the quantity of cotton ginned will
rot, as heretofore, include the guam
.tity Of linters in the total produc-
ton, but will relate only to lint cot
ton. This change, announced today,
will be effective beginning with the
next report on March 20. Informa-
ton as to the production Of linters,
however Director Harris states, will
be given in a footnUte SO that COM
parative figures may be computed or
the basis of reports in previous years.
In explaining why he regards the
change advisable, Director Harris
said:
THE annual reports on the guam
tity of cotton ginncd have heretofore
included the quantity obtained by the
oil mills. Formerl., there was only
q comparatively small quantity OF
linters obtained and they were Of such
grade as could be used, to some ex-
tent for the same purpose as were
the lower grades of cotton. Many Of
the oil mills have now installed ma
chinery for the closer delintng of the
seed. Tbs has resulted in a large
increase in the total quantity of lint
ers Produced each year, and at the
same time is lowering the average
quality of the fiber, SO that now only
a small part. if any, is used as a sub
stitute for lint cotton"

SEEKS FURTHER INFORMATION.
Would Gain Facts Concerning Re.
moval of Xcrgara's Body from Mex
leo.

Washington, March 9.-Two de-
partments of the United States gov
ernment are seking information as
to the circumstances under which the
body. of Clemente Vergara. an Amer
lean ranchman, supposed to have
been killed by Mexican federal SOL
diers near Hidalgo, Mexico, was found
on the American side Of the Rio
Grande early Sunday morning. Strip
ped Of doubtful details, the solitary
fact known officially to the state and
war departments is that the body of
the man for whom search has been
made for the past three weeks is on
Texas SOIL
~ brief telegram to the state de-
partment today from American Con-
sui Garrett at Nuevo Laredo, Mex,
that details would be reported by
mail. No mention was made Of press
reports that Texas rangers crossed
the border and brought the body
back, reporting their action to Gov.
Colquitt. This slow process did not
satisfy Secretary Bryan, who prompt
ly wired the consul to make his re-
port by telegraph and this is being
awaited
Meanwhile the war department ha,
become interested and Secretary Gar
rison called on Gen. Bliss at El Paso
for information. This brought the
following telegram from that officer:
investigation Vergara affair being
made. Will report as soon as facts
are learned Thus far nothing known
here except as published in press.
Affair occurred about 35 miles above
Laredo at place not on railroad or
telegraph line
Reasonably assured that neither
United States nor Texas officials had
participated in any action that might
be regarded as violating Mexican
sovereignty, the state department IS
confronted with the necessity Of maxi
ing fresh representations to Gen.
Huerta in the effort to have punished
the persons guilty of Vergara's kill
ing. When the case first was brought
to his attention by Charge O'Shaugh-
messy, Gen. Huerta promised prompt
punishment of the guilty parties if
warranted by the federals. Shortly
afterward the federal general at
Nuevo Laredo intimated that Vergara
had joined the constitutionalists and
had been killed by them.
The discovery Of the body on the
banks OF the Rio Grande showing a
half dozen fatal wounds now fur
r.shes tangible evidence for the
further prosecution OF the case. Sec
rotary Bryan today asked John BaS-
sctt Moore formerly counselor Of the
state department, to his Office for
consultation and L is inferred that
subsequent steps will be in accordance
with Mr.. Moorc's suggestions.

City Council held it's regular semi
monthly session Tuesday night. a
number of matters of general inter-
est being discussed and some of them
acted upon.
Mr. +. Fl. Moses appeared before
Cou request that the city take
so' -tion to prevent the rebuild
u > a garage on East Liberty
: :, as it increased the insurance
: on adjacent property to near
prohibitive figures. He was in
.rmed by the Mayor that Council
vas preparing an ordinance covering
the construction of buildings in such
cases, but that Council had no
right to say what use the property
should be put to, as it was owned by
private parties.
Mr.. Barlow Walsh presented a pc
tition from property holders that
Pear street be extended on through
the Water Works property to connect
with Corbett street, as this would be
a great convenience to people living
in this section of the city. The mat
ter was discussed, but no action was
taken.
A letter from Mr.. D. James Winn
was received by Council in which it
was requested that the city take ac-
ton as to the ownership of property
decided to it by him in 1904 for the
extension of Haynsworth street, as
otherwise private parties, who had
taken possession Of the property,
would claim it by right Of adverse
possession.
The city clerk and treasurer's re-
port was received and referred to Mr..
Rowland to be checked up.
The police report for February was
read. 1t showed sixty-fve arrests and
sentences totalling one hundred and
seventy days and fines of $561.95 re.
ceived.
City Manager Robertson reported
that he had been to Florence to see
the incineratOr at work over there
and had been very favorably i'm
pressed with its work. He recon-
, mended the purchase of such a plant
for Sumter.
Messrs. d. D. Noise and Geo. D.
Levy appeared before Council on be-
half Of the police force to request an
increase in pay, which they thought
the force deserved because Of faith
full service, the high cost Of living and
the advance Of salaries in ether lines
of work. Council postponed action
until q full meeting Of Council.
A number of claims against the
city were audited and ordered paid.
