Tho Kings Are Coming.

The capital of our democracy is
a-flutter over the promised visits of a
king, two queens and pair of crown
princes. lone short year ago." says
one of our Washington correspond
ents, And the capital resounded to
the slogan, Down with kings! But
times have changed. Just now the
capital is feverish and fearful that
the right thing will not be done by
the royalty who are to visit u.s."
There must be some mistake about
this slogan report. We don't remem-
Der hearing Washington uproarious-
ly demanding the downing of kings,
year ago, when we were the "as-
sociates" of a half dozen kings, a
mikado and so forth. But let that
pass. Whatever Washingtons desire
changed, and no king, queen. or
changed, and no king, queen of
crown prince need stay away, from
Washington for fear that we are
democratically inclined to kick royal
ty. Within the year, we've hung our
democratic halo on the bedpost and
actually slept in the beds of kings;
we've received presents from royalty
by the trunnffull; we've stood up and
been photographed with royalties;
we've more kinds of royal pe,nquet
platters than any other democracy
that ever wore plug hat and cream
colored spats; we've radiated at
more sorts of social, political and
other function than any other de-.
mocracy on record.
Moreover, we're enjoying such a
neat, tight little autocratic cinch on
free speech, free press and free as
semblage that it's likely we won't
be perfectly happy until we get
King of our own. Times have chang
ed! Now's the time for foreign royal
ty to come over to us and get "the
right thing done by them. Their
majesties needn't hold back thru
fear of rubbing up against too much
democracy. Some slight association
with democracy may be unavoidable
to be sure, but it will be of an in
offensive .character.-Cedar Rapids

STREET GAR EMP[OYES ID
 WALK OUT TODAY
Refusing to Ratify Agree ment Reached by Repre- sentatives, 15,00O Vote
 to Strike at 4 A. M.
Bv Associated Pres

Chicago, July 2S.-Street car enl- pIoyes tonight voted to strike at n. m. tomorrow after refusing to ratify an agreement reached earlier in the day between representatives of the employees and employers. The agree ment, representatives of both parties had thought, would avert a walkOut of the men.
 The walkout, which will affect both the surface and elevated employees, will tie up the transportation system of the city except suburban trains,
 The agreement which was refused at a meeting tonight of the employees, would have given the men a wage of 65 cents an hour, their present wage being 4S cents, they would have had an eight-hour day and were to be paid time and half for overtime.
 Six thousand surface line and ele- vated employees acted for the entire membership of their unions in voting to strike. Their rejection of the com- promise was unanimous.
 Tn vote to strike was taken during tumultous session in which cries of ito hell with the Chicago public greeted International Secretary Bland of the street railway employees union when he announced that we are not fighting the street car companies in this wage matter. We are fighting the public"
 Approximat tely 15.000 men will be af- fected by the walkout.

Storm Breaks When
 Compensation Bill
 Comes Up in House
Hx M. J. HOLES

Montgomery July 2S.-(S (SfeciaD For two hours this afternoon the house vrargled over the workmens compen- sation bill. which came up aAer roll- call for introduction of bills. Passage of the bill had been predicted but. all Fediction fell short of the actuali- ties
 Immediately after Representative Harrison of Jefferson had called up the bill, explained its essential features and stated that while it was not all that either the employees or the employ CTS wanted, it was the best that could be obtained at this time and that 1t, to his mind, was good bill that would work to the benefit of the laboring people, the storm broke.
 Representative J. Lee Long of Butler, opposing the passage of the bill with out the members being given an op- portunity to read it, moved to post none further consideration for three days in order that it might be printed and copies furnished the members.
 Representative Benners of Jeffersen explained that the Anderson bill, over which bitter fight was waged in the senate last FebMlary, had been revised and amended by representatives of the employers and the employees and con- tended that in it's present shape 1t will be for the employers and the employe. Representative Truss of Jefferson asked for postponemert until he could read it. Don't rush it through the house until we know what is in 1t. I don't want any trickery,' he said.
 Representative Shaw of Colbert urged the immediate passage of the bill. stating that is was ir all essential fea- lures similar to the Anderson bill, printed copies of which had been placed on the desk of the members last winter.
 MT Shaw moved to table MT Longs motion to postpone, whereupon MT. Long moved to indefinitely postpone further copsideratiap.
 Speaking to this motion Rerresen- tative Harrison stated that sinister influences were at work to defeat the bill and that postponement meant its defeat. As president of he Alabama federation of labor I assisted in the drafting of the revised bill he said. 'Unorganized labor was not represented because they had no means of getting representation. The bill Is just to la bor; it embodies an agreement not ar rived at in a day. but in conferences sextending over several months. l was not by myself but had good lawyers and some of my colleagues to assist and advise me. have submitted it to some

of the best lawyers in the state and they say it is all right. Who is affected by it? Employers and employees. Coal operators, saw mill operators, factories, and other employers of labor and the entire organized labor of the state are most affected and they are satisfied with it. h
 The attacks on the bill are not against it's main features but against what they term jokers. Certain inter ests that don't want any kind of a compen- sation bill are opposing it and if it is not passed now it may never be passed In terests opposed to the bill are here working against it and the delay will mean it's defeat"
 Representative Ross of Jefferson called attention to the exemption clauses and wanted to know if farmers employing more than nine men would be subject to it.
