PASSENGER SPYS FOR II. II.

indianapolis President Tobin
of the Brotherhood of Teamsters has re-
ceived the following letter from A. NJ
Zieler, 12 Charles street, New York
city:
Dear Sir-No doubt you will be sur
prised to hear from me. If you can
remember the last of April when you
were on your way east, | was employed
by the Pennsylvania Railway company
as steward on the dining car, and we
had a talk regarding the time stewards
have to work and the reason they could
not organize.
well, some passenger heard me tell
you the condition of things and wrote
to G. w. Boyd, general passenger agent
of the company at Philadelphia The
latter said | was not loyal to the COM
pany because told some labor agent all
the details of the dining car department,
as to the hours they worked their men
and the reason they could not organ
ize.
well, the answer is, am fired other
wise canned from the job. The rea-
son I wanted you to know this was
thought you might give it to some pa
pers. 1t would make good story"

A. F. Of L. Home Dedication July a;
President Wilson Will Be Present

Washington. - President Wilson has
accepted an invitation to attend the ded-
ication ceremonies of the A. F. of l..
seven-story office building, on the MORN
ing of July 4, and will deliver an ad-
dress.
A committee on arrangements, con-
sisting of President Gompers and Secre-
tary Morrison and the executives of the
various A. F. of L. departments, togeth-
er with the Washington Central Labor
Union, has arranged for a labor parade
at this time.
President Gompers has forwarded an
invitation to the officers and members of
national and international unions, state
federations and city central bodies to
be present and participate in the. cere-
monies.
"It is realized" says President Com
pers, that where the distances are large
it may be impractical or impossible for
all to come to Washington, but it is
hoped that as many as can possibly ar
range it will do so.
"1t is urged, too, that the unions and
central bodies located at no great dis
tance from Washington shall make such
arrangements for as large a number of
unions and workers to personally come
to Washington as possible and participate
in the demonstration and ceremony
in cases where the officers of organ
izations are too far away to come to
Washington, we ask that they may desig-
nate some union member of their trade,
located at or near Washington, to rep
resent the body in the demonstration
''lt is also urged that every organiza-
ton forward an American flag and the
banner of the union, so that the emblem
may carry the spirit of unity and fra
ternity in the demonstration and cere-
mony.
Kindly advise me at the earliest pos
sible date what action you can and will
take regarding the above invitation and
request"

ably the railroad companies could, if
they desired, refuse to permit passengers
to carry liquor as part of their baggage
for the purpose of aiding the policy of
the State to prevent illegal sales, etc,
but says further that insofar as the
law does not restrain them (the railroad
companies) it is their province to make
their own regulations, and in this they
are in no way subject to the jurisdiction
OF the courts or the executive officers
OF the State. No doubt the restraint this
bill and decree seeks to put upon the
defendant, if applied to all common car
riers, would advance the States policy
respecting Intoxicating liquors, but it is
not the province of the courts, nor the
executive officers of the State, to adopt
measures for such purpose"
According to the foregoing the decree
OF the lower court is reversed and the
cause remanded to that court with leave,
however, to the State to amend its bill
OF course, we are not advised whether
the State can amend its bill so as to
make case against the railroad com
panies, or whether it will be attempted.
The result of the decision as it stands
should put an end to interferences by
State officials with passengers CARRYING
liquors as personal baggage into West
Virginia

STATION WORKERS WIN STRIKE.

Washington,-The Washington Term-
nal Company, owner of the Union Rail
road Station in this city, has granted
the demands of its 400 striking en-
ployes, who were recently organized by
Vicc-President Nolte of the Brother
hood of Railway Car Men and officials
OF the local Electrical Workers Union
The station employees include air brake
inspectors, steam heat men, car repair
ers, safety appliance men, car cleaners
and electrical workers. The principal
complaint at this time was grating fore
men, who collected money from en-
ployes.
Under the agreement these foremen
are dismissed. Fifty employees who were
dismissed because of union activity are
reinstated, as are all strikers. Provision
is made for grievance committees, and
the company promises to recognize same

UNIONISTS ARE COERCED,

Columbus, Ohio.-At a mass meeting
held under the auspices of the trade un-
ion movement, President Gompers scored
Mayor Karb and Chief of Police Carter
for denying free speech to unionists in
their effort to secure an eight-hour day.
"Your chief of police, without any
warrant of law or authority, has sent
out his subordinates to apprehend men
who are here to work for the interests
of the working men and women" he
said. Some of them have been fined !;
others told to leave the city. Will these
two officials or the city attorney point
out the law which gives them the author
ity to order men out of town who have
not been convicted of crime here or any
other placer"
The meeting was largely attended.
Later President Gompers called on Gov
ernor Willis to protest against the action
of local authorities

INJUNCTION JUDGE
MAKES NEW RECORD

Chicago, Ill.-Long ago Judge Jesse
A. Baldwin of the Circuit Court estab-
lished a record for issuing labor injunc-
tions, but his latest edict against 5000
striking tannery workers makes new
standard in the denial of constitutional
rights, so common in this State when
workers attempt to better conditions.
Judge Baldwin out Baldwins himself
and, in desperate effort to protect
strikebreakers from even a smile OF
contempt, makes this contribution to
injunction literature:
From doing anything which subjects
any of the complainants' employees to
hatred, criticism, censure, scorn, dis
grace or annoyance because OF their
employment by the complainants, re-
spectively, until this honorable court
in chancery sitting, shall make order to
the contrary. Hereof fail not, under
penalty of what the law (Judge Bald
VIM directs"
The strikers ''and all others" are or
dered not to induce strikebreakers from
leaving their employment Under Judge
Baldwin's law it is illegal for strikers
to send "any circulars or other commu-
nications to customers of the complain
ants, or to other persons who might
deal or transact business with the com
plainants" Under this order these
5000 workers are guilty of contempt of
court ii they appeal even to prospective
customers of the tannery trust for aid
in fight against twelve-hour day
and wage of 81 a week.
The strike has been on for about a
month These workers are organized
and are being assisted by local trade
unionists.
The Injunction issued against them is
one of the numerous court orders that
has compelled Illinois organized work
ers to inaugurate a Statewide anti
injunction campaign.

TART TALK AT CONFERENCE.

New York-At the public hearings
between railroad managers and their
train employees over the question of eight
hours and overtime in the freight serv-
ice, the workers representatives, as usu-
al, are proving quite competent to de-
fend their position, whether it be by
their facts or in running discussion.
This was shown when President Stone
of the engineers said that many men
never saw their families except on Sun
days. One of the managers said these
conditions existed for years"
"We know it," said the engineer, "and
we want you to pay for it. This is a
case where the chickens come home to
roost. The companies have built up
their schedules on long hours"
"But the men are getting a fair days
wage" said General Manager Lee of the
Pennsylvania railroad.
"And the companies are getting good
days work" retorted Stone.
Later on the Pennsylvania railroad
man said his side would have to look
at things pretty hard to get any con-
solation.'
"These demands were not intended tc
give you any consolation" he was told
"They were intended to give the mel
some consolation"
That's very clear, thank YOU" an

TITLE OF CASE.
State, eX rel Fred o. Blue VS.. BaIti-
more a. Ohio Railroad.

The Circuit Court of Mineral County
on application of the State had allowed
an injunction restraining the B. & O..
K. K. Company and other common car
riers from allowing passengers to carry
suit cases, trunks and other containers
containing liquors as unchecked personal
baggage. The lower court held that the
allowance of such privilege by the rail
road company to its passengers enlarged
the opportunities for violation of the
liquor laws of West Virginia. After re-
citing the pleadings at considerable
length the Supreme Court reverses this
judgment holding in substance that COM
mon carriers may lawfully transport and
carry passengers, who have with them
as personal baggage Intoxicating liquors
intended for personal use, and that such
right is secured by the statutes Of West
Virginia. The court says that even if
the carriage of liquors by carriers under
the circumstances disclosed in the case
were criminal offcnsc, that that alone
would not authorize court of equity
to en- DIN such carriage. The court says
further THAT whether the Legislature
has power to prevent such carriage OF
liquor as has been enjoined here need
not be determined. The question does
not arise. 1t may never be attempted"
The court recognizes the fact that un-
der the. statutes court of equity may
enjoin as nuisance, places such as
houses, boats, club rooms, etc, used for
the purpose of unlawful selling but that
a railroad train where goods are simply
carried and are not sold is not place
which can constitute nuisance under
the statute. The court says that prob

MISS FOLEY MAY COME
TO PENSACOLA.

Mrs. Fred Roege, chairman of the
Woman's Journal, has almost COM
pleted arrangements for the appear
ance in Pensacola of Miss Margaret
Foley, the most popular suffragist
with baseball fans in the United
States. It is said that Miss Foley did
most of her campaign work last sum-
mer with the men who play ball and
talk ball, and she never failed to hold
her audience.
Miss Foley is a woman of most
commanding personality, quite as
large as the celebrated Mrs. Upton
of Ohio, and quite as famous, in her
way. A young woman with a voice
that has a wonderful carrying quail
ity, she has done a great deal of out
Goor speaking. The editor Of this de.
partment heard her give a six-minute
talk in Keith's theatres. Washington,
on the same evening that Nazimova,
the great Russian actress, appeared
in "War Brides" and later at the
Southern Conference in Richmond,
Miss Foley spoke briefly. En- route
from Richmond to Washington, Miss
Foley expressed a wish to come to
Pensacola to make an address under
the auspices of the suffrage league,
but this matter was not taken up
until Miss Ryan, managing editor of
the Woman's Journal, wrote to Mrs.
Roege, who is chairman of this COM
mittee, regarding the appearance of
Miss Foley in Pensacola, and it is
entirely to the interest of Mrs. Roege
in making the arrangements for her
coming that her booking is due.
Miss Foley attended the national
convention in Washington, and it was
she who proposed the dollar contribu-
ton to the fund that was being raised
for the years budget. Thousands Of
dollars had been subscribed then
hundreds, fifties, tens, fves. And then
Miss Foley rose, and in her ringing
voice said that she felt sure there
were many at the convention who
would like to give dollar, but did not
wish to pledge so small an amount,
and proposed, then and there, to take
up a dollar collection-and even sug-
gested that quarter would not be
despised. The pages went through
the convention hall and when the col
lection had been taken their boxes
fairly brimmed with dollar pills.
Miss Foley is of the people. A fac
tory girl in Massachusetts, she has
come in contact with conditions which
the suffragists of the United States
are endeavoring to correct. She is
an entirely different type from any
of the national leaders who have so
far visited Pensacola. Strong, virile,
working girl and an earnest, COM
manding speaker, she will be sure to
reach many and stir them with her
message.

Now that love is old,
Shall we leave the floor unswept,
And the hearth acold2
Here the hill wind in the dusk,
Wandering to and fro,
Moves the moonfowers like ghost
Of the long ago.
Here from every doorway looks
A remembered face,
Every sill and panel wears
A familiar grace.
Let the windows smile again
To the morning light,
And the door stand open wide
When the moon Is bright.
Let the breeze of twilight blow
Through the silent hall,
And the dreaming rafters hear
How the thrushes call.
Oh, be merciful and fond
To the house that gave
All its best TO shelter love
Built when love was bravel
Here we came when love was young,
Now that love is old,
Never let its days be lone
Nor its heart acoldl
