City Recognizes Unions.

Canton, o. June 4.-The city
council, by unanimous vote, has
ordered that hereafter only mem
bers of organized labor can be em-
ployed on work done by or for the
city of Canton.
In urging the adoption of this
resolution, unionists insisted that.
Contractors figure on the basis of
the prevailing union wage, and in
asmuch as the laboring men carry
the burden of maintaining those
wages, they are entitled to any
money the city may spend on pub
lie works. and that through their
labor unions they maintain the rate
contractors accept, even Though
the contractors refuse 10 recognize

Cutting submarine cables In wartime

fdence in the outcome if referen-

Apparently upon the theory that
they want no law put upon the
statute books which is complete
rejection of their requests, labor
leaders are asking Assemblymen
to use their influence with the Gov
ernor to have him veto the Carson
Graham bill, which would, In its
original form have provided for
full crews on passenger trains. In
its present form, which was reached
after Senator c. T. Gallagher had
literally amended the original, it

1t is likely that morrow the

meeting of the Democratic State
Central and Executive Committees
to decide whether or not the party
shall call referendums. Among

ARE THEY UNION MEN ?

Columbus, Ohio, June, 4 4.-Dry
labor leaders are forming an or
ganizatiou of union men to fight
for Statewide prohibition and TO
combat the work of the wet Labor
League organized here last month
as an adjunct to the anti prohibi-
tion forces.
Charles Stelzle of New York, So
cial reformer Of national repute,
will head the new organization and
direct its work of investigating
the facts with regard to the effects
OF prohibition on labor.
James A. Robinson of Canton,
editor of a union labor newspaper
aud formerly legislative agent for
the Ohio Federation Of Labor, and
L. c. Lewis of Columbus, formerly
an officer of the United Minework-
ers, will also take an active part in
the work Of the new organization.
Stelzle is the same fellaw that
has been on the lecture platform
for some time and by the way
never had the union label on his
printing. Men of this character
who will strive to threw working
men out of employment are not un-
ion men even though they do hold
card in a union.

IGNORED
Is Labor Unions BY State
Administration.

Columbus, Ohio, June Al
though no names were mentioned,
the state administration was the
target for the first missile hurled
because of the course of the Gen
eral Assembly last NJ onday. The
Executive Board of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, in reviewing
the record of the Assembly, criti-
cises the failure of the administra-
ton to enact into law measures re-
commended by labor.
In the place of specific mention
and in lieu of specific statement
as to the responsibility, the board
contented itself with an arraign-
ment of the dominant political
party" meaning thereby the Re-
publican party. The name of the
Governor is not to be found in the
official utterance, which is some
what less vitriolic than might have
been expected in view of the COM
plete rejection of labor demands.
Text Of Statement.
The Executive Board of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor, in
reviewing the Eighty first General
Assembly, has come to the conclu-
sion that 1t would not be doing its
full duty to the wage earners of
Ohio if it did not point out that
the dominant political party, which
had a large working majority in
both branches of the General As
sembly, not only failed TO execute
the platform pledges made to labor,
but its members offered for consid
Grafton and passage bills to amend
the child labor laws, impair The
workmen's compensation law and
repeal the law providing for the
noupartisan election of Judges,
which had they been successful
would have destroyed the results
of many years of effort on the part
of organized labor and the reform
forces of the state.
This Legislature also passed the
Gallagher bill; practically repeal
ing the miners gross weight law
aud thereby undid legislation Sc
cured in the interest OF the miners
of Ohio, and which had established
justice in the payment of wages foi
work performed by miners in the
mining of coal.
Platform Plank ignored.
In addition to failure to enac
legislation beneh fetal to the work
ers, the dominant party lost sigh
of and gave no consideration TO the
following plank inserted in its plat
form in response to the request O.
organized labor:
"We recognize the wider claim.
of the people upon their govern
ment for legislation to promote so
cial justice, and pledge CO operation
in the broader movement for human
welfare.

SHERIFF IS
SUMMONED
By GanO Warder To Take Hin
In Charge For Killing
Two Men.
C0RPSES. ARE NOT FOUND,
The Story Lacks Confirmation
and Nothing Can Be
Learned.
CORPSES ARE NOT FOUND.

Gano Warder telephoned to the
Sheriff from Gracey Tuesday that he
was there and wanted to be arrested
for killing two men. Although a
train was due to come from Gracey
in little while, Sheriff Smith went
out in his auto and brought Warder
to town. He said while going from
Dawson to Cerulean he was pursued
by a band of night riders who
caught him and tried him on charge
of being a traitor to the organiza-
ton, based upon his connection with
coal mine work in Hopkins county.
His story was that he was acquit-
ted at this trial, but after being re-
leased was chased again by a part
of the band. He says he outwitted
them near Cerulean and took refuge
under negro cabin, but was dis
covered shortly before daybreak
Tuesday morning and two men start
ed under after him. He says he
shot and killed both of them. Later
he made his way to Gracey, where
he lives, and when Sheriff Smith got
to him he was ragged, muddy and
unkempt as if he had been on long
and hard hike.
Over long distance telephone peo-
pie at Cerulean denied that there
was any night rider activity there
and said no one was killed. They say
.Warder went under the negro cabin
for some reason and fired two or
three shots, but the only damage
was to badly brighten the negroes
above him. they say his story is a
fabrication or the product of a Graz
ed brain. An investigation will be
had. Warder has not been confined.

THE ANNUAL
GRANGE SALE.
Good Outlook For a Fine Sale
And Has Ideal Spring
Weather.

On Friday, April 9th, the annua
sale will be held at Church Hill, KY,
seven miles from Hopkinsville. The
prospects are for a better lot OF
stock being offered than for several
years previous, and nearly twice as
many on hand. With good weather
conditions there should not be any,
thing to prevent the sale being asuc-
cess and many buyers will be on
hand, some perhaps from a distance.
There will be several head of pure
bred Jersey cattle on hand. There
are many herds of registered jerseys
in Christian county and some near
Church Hill, and any one desiring
this breed of cattle will find some on
hand at this sale.
The sale will be conducted on a
straightforward business line and
nothing else will be permitted. Be-
sides cattle of both beef and dairy
types, there will be some thorough.
bred hogs of both Duroc and Poland
China herds offered. Any one desir-
ing stock of this sort would be like
ly to find his needs. Also a few
Southdown breeding sheep will be at
this sale.
The usual dinner will be spread
and all hope for a bright spring day.
Altogether the indications are for the
most successful sale in years. The
stock committee has been successful
in securing the services of Col. H. L.
Igleheart, of Elizabethtown, to make
tue sale.

Juror Means Prayer.

Judge Hanbery holds that a jury

evidence, but may pray for divine

Owensboro Inquirer.
We fear that if Capt, Clark's hope
of reversal in the Court of Appeals
rests upon this sort of plea, the high
err tribunal will have to depart far
from the bounds of reason in order
to give him new rial.-Elizabeth-
town News.
Mans belief in higher power is
not superstition. 1t is not even a
matter of education. 1t is Unborn.
Every creature of intelligence be-
lieves that there is Power that Gre
ated and rules the universe, and that
He will hear and answer petitions
We of the Christian faith believe
that we have Mediator in the per-
son of Jesus, who came to earth,
preached His marvellous gospel of
love, died felon's death. and then
rose triumphant from the grave.
Through Him, therefore. we ask for
divine guidance and for forgiveness
of sins.-B. G. Messenger.
Because the jurors in the Clark
case at Hopkinsville opened their de-
alterations with prayer. attorneys
for the defense made the divine sup
plication the target for an objection
in presenting pleas for new trial.
1t certainly strikes the average man
as rather strange that counsel should
protest the action of jurors in asking
to be guided in deliberations which
meant so much to the prisoner. One
would think they would have been
glad that the jury went about its
work with such strong evidence of a
desire to mete out only justice. if
justice was the aim Of the Defense
