Earlys demonstration against or tardy
and rather feeble effort to pierce the north
ern line of the civil war defenses of Wash
ington. But that is a matter of opinion.
At the north front of the Lincoln cot
tage there is pointed porch entrance
and an arched doorway very like the
porch of many churches. There is a
strong religious suggestion in the archi-
lecture. which is heightened by latticed
windows and ivy that is feeding on the
walls. On the north face of the cottaee
is the word Anderson for the cottage is
called at the home the Anderson build

IS no sighting stud but merely another
very delicate cut in the metal. On the

where were carried the rammer staf and
other gun accessories. The wheels have
fourteen spokes and seven felloes and

by the house committee on merchant

has been revised. Lake freight veg
sells are required to meet ocean condi-
ton of lifeboats and crews. Passenger
vessels plying land-locked bays and
sounds are relieved of the general
lifeboat provisions requiring boats
enough to carry all passengers and
crews. - ,-~ss..
The committee, decided that condi-
tons on the great lakes are enough
different from those on the high seas
to warrant modified specifications.
During the summer months, when
the excursion season is on, lake boats
will be permitted to run with life
boats for g. certain part Of the pas
sengers and rats and belts for the
others. Favorable weather conditions
prevailing during these months on the
great lakes argued for this modifica-
ton. :T.... -. ~
This comedies the point most con-
tested by great lakes shipowners, who
maintained. that it would be impractic-
able and unnecessary to equip lake
boats, especially the big excursion
boats: with Hfeboats for all on board.
Life RATS and cork belts are regarded
as generally more efficient than boats
on the lakes, especially since use of
the wireless telegraph has made it
possible to summon assistance quickly.

GEORGE ". PERKINS
BULL MOOSE B0CEY
Amos Pinchot Declares New York
Capitalist Is Menace to tho
Progressive Party.

NEW YORK, June 12.-Amos
Pinchot made public today the text
of the confidential letter he recently
addressed to Theodore Roosevelt, the
committee and other leaders, denounc-
ing George w. Perkins, chairman Of
the national executive committee as a
menace to the party, principally be-
cause of his affiliation with the United
States Steel corporation and the Inter-
national Harvester company, two
great monopolies which have succeed
ed most completely in exploiting the
public and crushing organized labor"
The letter opens by declaring that
"a situation exists in the Progressive
party which must be terminated be-
fore it can command general popular
support
THE situation I refer to-" Mr..
Pinchot continues in his letter, lis
this: First, an element in our party
leadership headed by George w. Per-
kins, favors the protection of priv ate
monopoly in American industry and
since the party's formation has been
taking active steps to commit the
party to that policy; second. the chair
man of the executive committee (Mr.
Perkins), is actively opposed to rec
ognition of labor's rights to. organize
and deal with capital through labor
unions and has frequently gone on
record to this effect" ...-....
Mr.. Pinchot then goes on to say
that the Progressive party has placed
itself positively and definitely on
record in opposition to Mr.. Perkins
and adds that Through the Progress
sive .party's official bulletin, through
public speeches. and interviews and
in pamphlets printed as Progressive
oH$xy f$n~ fV,0 1SafrS {n1
the party's headquarters in New
York and Washington, Mr.. Perkins
has Conducted an extensive pro-trust
propaganda calculated to convince
the party and the public that the
trusts are useful and sacred .institu-
tions; that those who attack them
are bent upon the destruction of all
and finally that the :, Progressive
party fully: agrees with him in these
views.
"As q result we have been placed in
a false and fatal position"
Mr.. Pinchot says in mis- letter that
Mr. Perkins name has been signed
ton, declaring against organization
within its plants, and that Mr.. Per-
kins' views on the most critical is
sues between capital and organized
labor coincide closely with those Of
John D. Rockefeller jr.'
In view Of all these facts, Mr.
Pinchot says, the rank and file and
the majority Of the leaders Of the
party feel that Mr.. Perkins resigna-
ton as chairman of the executive
committee is necessary. Mr.. Pinchot
declares he believes even Mr.. Perkins
will agree with him that the success
Of the party demands such action

, BY JOHN E. JENSEN. !:
In any labor disturbance such as
strikes xor lockouts, the trades union
is so evidently the pivot of strength
that it is desirable that~we entertain
clear notions concerning same. ..
Clearly, the capitalist has no tenab BILE
grounds of objection to it, society at
large is greatly benefited by it, and
workmen cannot secure their own
without it.
The employer wishes to hold what
he calls the open shop because it
gives him an easy range of the labor
market and an opportunity of secur-
ing lower wages. To a great extent it
places the power of compensation
largely in his own hands. It is an
agreeable power to have; he has been
accustomed to 1T, and is unwilling to
lose it. AS a rule he is not dissatis-
fled with his, employees, and does not
wish a change, but he does want at
hand the meansvof securing the low
est wages. In esta blishing these con-
ditions he wishes wide range OF the
labor market; laborers brought from
abroad and of diverse nationalities
help him. i
His hostility is aroused il this
liberty is limited or lost through the
trades union. He Is then ready to
the extent of his ability to put them
down. How far is he justified in this
attitude?
Capitalist Should be Fair
He should be willing to be met by
his own method of action, and ought
not object to the same propaganda
that he himself is using.
All classes of combinations among
employers, trusts of every dimension
acruing at better. prices, are means
of the same nature as those objected
to by the trades union. And, with
this great difference. In thoroughly
debauched market the workman is
striving to control wages, to resist a
tendency established by the ignorant
and irresponsible and constantly fore
ing wages to a level insufficient for
any reasonable standard Of living.
The workman's competition is not
a fair competitions: competition
which puts prices in the hands OF
the most efficient, but which places
them in the hands of the least ef-
hcient.
This competition does not drive the
poor workman out OF the market, but
compels the good workman to accep,
| the wages paid the less worthy and
less efficient than himself So we
see that the good workman is kept
on the defensive, lest he be drawn
to the bottom of the class Of trade
| to which he belongs.
The employer wants him, but to re.
! tain him at the wage of the inferior
man:
Against this tendency the good
workman. seeks protection, brought
