DONALD LOWR|E SPEAKS
ON PRISON BETTERMEN1

Donald Lowrie who comes to Wheel

book my Life in Prison." the story Of
his own experiences in ST. QuentiAe
California. Sentenced to prison for
fifteen years for burglary Lowrie was
paroled three years ago through the
interest of Lemont Olden edition of
the San Fransico Bulletin. Even since
his release he has been a member of
the staff Of the Bulletin and is max
ing good"
OF his book the Dallas, Texas, News
says, mo more poignant chronicle Of
the fnfamies perpetrated under the
sanction of code ostensibly framed
for the reformation of humanity; but
in reality lending itself to ruthless
system of revenge, has ever been ad-
ded to the literature of penology. At
the same time one must admit that
it has been planned with admirable
reserve; in fact the dispassionate at
titude of one who has felt and obser-
we'd the system from the inside makes
the appeal doubly strong and invites
belief in the wrongs to be righted and
cooperation in the speediest and sur
est way of accomplishing just cause.
Mr.. Lowrie writes exceedingly we'll
so well that one INDUCES the specult-
ton that his one step from the path
of rectitude may not have been a

means of fastening lockwood move

who reads his powerful presentation
of prison life and its Indictment Of the

those in authority can remain longer
Indifferent to the cause of prison re-
form. Mr.. Lowrie speaks under the
auspices of the Equal Suffrage Lea

.Potters Combat
white Plague"

Trenton, N. j., April 9.-The health
committee of the National Brotherhood
of Operative Potters is negotiating for.
the purchase of a large farm in. this
section of the tates as place for con-
valescence for those of it's members
who have been suffering FROM tubercu-
losis, bronchial trouble or similar dis
ease The necessity for taking this
action was urged at the last convention
and while some Of their members have
been in sanitariums, it is believed by
the health committee that a. perma-
nent cure could be brought about if
the systems of the Workmen -eauld be
gradually built UP after they leave
these places, and it is for this purpose
that they intend buying a farm. Pure
air, pure and wholesome food and light
through which theSpotters hope to ac-
complish the physical restoration of
their afflicted fellows Vt is planned
to secure practical farmers to look
after the actual management of the
farm and to have a part of the work
dne by potters who may desire to. go
there and recuperate, and whose phys
zeal strength will permit them to
work. they will be under constant
medical supervision. The potters will
be further aided in their plans by an
agreement with the manufacturers
committee, which has agreed that the
employers will restore man to his
position any time his health will per-
nit him to work and give him any
kind of work that he may be able to
do. T he employers have shown a
Willingness to aid in this work and
have contributed $4,000 to help fin
ance any plans that the men might
make. The potters gave a like
amount, and later increased the fund
with an appropriation of $4,000. A
final decision will be made by the
workers in their annual convention
this summer, when their health COM
mittee's report will be acted upon.

SEANEN~ DON'T
LIKE treaty

Washington, April 9.-The London
treaty proposed by the Conference on
Safety of Life at Sea, has been sent
to the Senate by the President for
ratification. The Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations has removed
the Injunction of secrecy, and. Andrew
Furuseth, president of the Internation-
al Seamen's Union of America, who
was one of the commissioners appoint
ed by the President, and who resign
ed, will appear, together with his as
sociates, on the Seamen's Legislative
Committee, before the Committee on
Foreign Relations in opposition to the
treaty.
In resigning from the commission,
the sailor forwarded this cablegram
to President Wilson: "Commission TO-
day considered committee reports.
They contained provisions reducing
existing standards of safety. Being
true to safety cannot sign the con-
vention containing them. tender my
resignation to be effective at once
The injunction of secrecy under which
the London conference was working
was held by our government to be
binding upon Mr.. Furuseth after his
return to the United States. Before
the Senate Committee on Foreign Re
lations he will have full opportunity
of giving further explanation of his
resignation. He and his associates
claim that the provisions of the con-
vention do not = furnish reasonable
safety; that it will stand as barrier
against laws adopted by individual ma
tions inconsistent with the terms of
the convention, and that it will he i'm
possible for the United States to build
UP merchant marine, or to do any
thing effective toward building up a
merchant marine while the treaty is in
force, if it shall be ratified by the Sen
ate. Our existing treaties providing
for the arrest, detention, and deliver
ing UP of certain seamen, have been
responsible for the difference in the
operation of vessels in ocean traffic.
This London convention perpetuates
those treaties and prevents equaliza-
ton. By surendering our national con
troll over foreign vessels coming to
our harpors, we sacrifice any oppor-
tunity to participate in the foreign
commerce, any chance Of building up
an efficient body of American seamen,
and we accede, the seamen insist, to
safety regulations which in many in,
stances reduce existing standards of
safety and legalize some of the most
unsafe of existing PRACTICES

Gary Ab l9 !.
N0n-Uni0n Sh OBJ

Gary, Ind, April -9.-The Employ
ers', Builders and Material Mems
Association has decided to abandon
their three years fight to establish
non-union conditions in this city and
meetings are being held to again es-
tablish relations with the organized
workers. At a recent meeting of the
employers association chaotic indus
trial conditions in Gary were thor
qughly discussed, and near the close
of the session a resolution was pass
ed providing for uniform working
conditions in Gary which is only an
other way Of saying that all work
shall be done by union labor. The
activity of trade unionists in showing
merchants the folly OF poorly paid la
Dor was factor iii taking peace pos
sible, for at the meeting referred to
above, one contractor declared that
1T seemed as if the merchants in
Gary all wanted a union shop An
other employer said the general senti-
ment of the people of Gary was in
favor of the union shop, "and the reso-
luton was passed to give the public
what it wanted" The resolutions
will be officially rendered to the I'M
ions, and while it is agreed that much
time will be necessary to adjust con-
ditions to the new order, within a
month or two Gary's labor conditions
will be on an organized basis.

This Judge
Denies Injunction

! st. Louis, Ma, April "a so-called
revolutionary group of boot and
I shoe workers in this city, called the
United Shoe Workers, have lost their
injunction suit intended to stop the
Hamilton-BroWn Shoe Company and
the bona fide Boot and Shoe Workers
union from carrying out a contract
recently agree to. These revolution
lists" overlooked their continued de-
nunciation of courts of justice and
asked for an order that would deny
the Hamilton-Brown people the right
to agree with the Boot and Shoe
Workers that only their members
would be employed and that in all
other departm only those, workers
would be employed who were mem
bers of or who were eligible to trade
unions affiliated to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. This contract the
revolutionists" declared, was a emo
spiracy," but the court held that the
shoe management had the right to
employ any sort of workers it chose,
and the petition was denied The con-
tract was entered into last January,
and at that time the shoe company an
nounced: I'VE believe that the econ
omy which is made possible by avoid
ing strikes on the one side and lock-
cuts on the other will eventually ELI

Interruptions which ocur in the differ

shop conditions, which cause serious
loss to the employer and employees
alike. In pursuit. of the new policy
of this company we have decided to
operate union factories under contract
with the Boot and Shoe Workers I'M
ion affiliated with the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. Men in our en-
ploy other than shoe workers will be
organized in accordance with the rules
of their respective organizations, pro-
viding they are affiliated with the

st. Louis, Mo-, April AT the con-
ference of general officers, organizers
and district officers of the Internation-
al Association of Machinists held in
this city, strong resolutions were
passed againsta dual organization Of
boot and shoe workers, known os the
United Shoe Workers. The .conclud-

legitimate labor movement, for its

Wilson Agai nst !.
Uni on Exemption

Washington, D. &C., April 7.-(Spl)
Democratic politicians are listening
keenly to the voice of labor as it.
comes to them from the corners of
the country, and this voice is demand
ing Of them things which 1t is difficult
for them to give. The immediate pas
sage Sof the Bacon-Bartlett bill exemp-
tingo4 labor unions and farmers or
CARNATIONS from prosecution under
the Sherman antitrust law is being
asked as a necessary fulfllment of the
platform on which the Democrats rode
into office.
But Woodrow Wilson has set his
mind against exempting labor unions
from prosecution as trusts, and he
will break with his party rather than
change his mind. From a purely poll
teal point of view nothing better for
labor could happen than for Woodrow
Wilson and his party to 81 { on the
labor. question. Already it is appar-
ent that the House of Representatives
is trembling on the verge of splitting
with the White House, and the BIZ
partisan tory machineA which in the
Senate stands for the interests of cap
ital lis preparing to. kill the bill in
that chamber.
<The Progressives are flirting with
Tabor in an attempt to gather up Ia
boris votes when labor shall have
seen the futility of trusting to the
Democratic party. 1t is rumored that
union card men will run wherever
possible as Progressive candidates in
he congressional elections this au.
tumn for the purpose of drawing away
from the Socialist strength. The
Progressives are pointing with that
pride which comes from the secure
position of political idleness to their
Chicago platforms declaration that,
I'VE favor the organization of the
workers, men and women, as a means
of protecting their interests, and of
promoting their progress" When the
BacOn-Bartlett bill is voted upon in
the House, the IProgresives will be
found voting for it.
All these things add to the terror
ism of the Democrats by labor
Scarcely mentioned in the news that
comes out of Washington is this one
big fact-that labor has invaded not
only the halls of Congress, but also
the minds and selfish interests OF
Congressman to an extent never be
fore practiced. Labor is holding a
sword over the heads of Congressmen
who, unwillingly and in order to es-
cape alive, will have to obey.
If labor will but hold Wilson, who
is the head of his party and who can
make Congress dance at his mere
wish, responsible for the carrying out
of the Democratic platform by ex-
empting labor unions from prose
ton under the Sherman anti-tru /,
then labor will have demonstrated it's
strength in a manner that may force
Wilson to act as it desired. If labor,
after trying to hold Wilson RESPONSE
BILE for the passage of the Bacon-Bart-
lett bill, should then fail, that failure
must be. laid at the door of Wilson,
and at the door of no other man.
For, if Wilson had the conviction and
the courage to ask for. the passage
Of this measure, it would pass. If
he proves not to have either the con-
viction or the courage to do this, he
has confessed himself not the iPresi-
dent of the working people of the I'm
tied States.

cMAs. D. RYAN

Charles Dougherty Ryan, for many
years treasurer of the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly, died at
his home on East Eighteenth street
Monday morning after an illness Of
ten weeks. His death, coming after
such a long and serious illness, was
not entirely unexpected, but it was
nevertheless a great shock to the
people of Wheeling active in Labor
circles and all movements for the
betterment of humanity.
Death was due directly to heart
failure, though his illness was origin
ally caused by cold and later affect
ed his kidneys He gradually grew
weaker but during the last week ap-
peared to rally and this caused false
hope among the family and friends.
His end was most peaceful.
Mr.. Ryan was SO years of age and
came to Wheeling 80 years ago, since
which time he has worked here as a
harness maker, most Of the time for
the firm of W. T. Burke. He was
married 26 years ago to Catherine NC
Dermott, and his wife, with three
grown children, Harry j., Vicent c.,
and atherine e., survive. There are
also two surviving brothers, William,
of Scranton, Pa; Robert j., of New
York, and sister, Mrs. F. Kratz.
Rev. p. H. McDermott, Of Clarksburg,
lis a brother of Mrs. Ryan. All were
in attendance at the funeral, which
was held Wednesday morning. with
requiem high mass at the Cathedral,
mass being celebrated by Rev. Galway
and Rev. McDermott.
Home Paradise.
Rev Galway, in speaking of the de-
ceased, said that he had known him
and his family for years, and that
from the day of the marriage the home
had been an earthly paradise. Inter
ment was at Mt Calvary. The pal
Ibear ers were Edward Bach, S. Sthaus
James Carr, William Burke, Alfred
White and Leo J. LaF'lam.
A Noble Life.
/ Charles D. Ryan led noble life
HE was an exceptional man. Abso
llutely honest in his dealings with
everyone, and scrupulous in his care
full attention to the finest details, he
Twas universally esteemed, and most
lsucc essful in his long service as treas
urer of the Assembly, a post which
lhe resigned with the close of last
wear, when, on account of his health
lhe gave up all activities.
| Labor gave, as a token Of its es
teen. a floral emblem bearing the in
lscription: 'Labor's TT ute," and the
i Harmony Committee, the A. o. q. w
land the Harness Makers Union alst
gave beautiful tributes Of flowers, and
these, with 1.-THE offering of many
