Fuss Kicked Up


Fuss Kicked Up
The latest fuss has been kicked up
over a list Of knighthoods and peer
ages handed out last June on the oc-
casion Of the kings birthday.
Some Of the recipients were accused
of being war profiteers. The old tale
about sale Of honors was whispered

However, It remained for the Duke
of Northumberland. a Tory of the
Tories and the greatest coal mine
owner in Britain, to come down to

means you must be a gracious win

A person who can win without

without explaining how it happened or

WAGE RATES
DISCUSSED

Washington-Does a post office de-
partment wage report foreshadow at
tempts to modify postal clerks rates
which they have secured after long
delay?
The report was made to the post
master general by the comptroller
of the post office department and
includes the significant statement that
wage increases to employees approx
mate onefourth of the postal reve-
nues. The report cites three specific
acts of congress giving relief to these
workers. To emphasize this state
ment the report estimates that $780,
100000 has been spent in this man
ner.
Nothing is said of the fact that
these employees worked for 10 years
without wage increases, and in the
ing living costs. Neither is reference
made to the continuous and unjustifi-
able attacks of employees by the de-
partment during this period or of
the public fulminations of Burleson
against employees efforts to secure
relief

MOONEY
And Billings Release To Be
Sought By A. F. of L.

San Francisco.-Added impetus has
been given to the fight for the release
of Tom Mooney and Warren K. Bill
/ lings by the resolution recently
adopted by unanimous vote of the
delegates comprising the forty-second
annual convention of the Aemirican
Federation of Labor held in Cincin-
natl, Ohio. The resolution was in
troduced by the Molders' delegation.
After recting the we'll known facts
of the perjury employed to bring
about the conviction of Mooney and
Billings, the resolution places the
American Federation of Labor upon
record as demanding the immediate
pardon of the two prisoners and calls
upon all organizations affiliated with
the federation to Immediately demand
that Governor Stephens grant par
dons. The resolution also asks that
labor publications give the widest
possible publicity to the action of the
federation.
The call for immediate action by
the organized labor movement as con-
tanned in the resolution follows:
Resolved, That this forty-second an
nual convention of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor respectfully and
unanimously request Governor Steph-
ems to Immediately issue a pardon to
Thomas j. Mooney and Warren K.
Billings, and right the great wrong
which has been done to these two
men;
Resolved, That each affiliated ma
tional and international union, all
State Federations of Labor, central
labor bodies and federal and directly
affiliated local labor unions be re-
quested to forward communications to
Governor Stephens requesting imme-
diate pardon of Thomas j Mooney
and Warren K Billings, and that the
affiliated national and international
unions be requested TO communicate
the action of this convention to their
local unions and request them to for
ward communications to Governor
Stephens, of California, requesting
pardon for Mooney and Billings;
Resolved, That the executive coun-
Gil be and it is hereby requested to
forward communication to all local
unions in California to assist the
American Federation of Labor by
forwarding Communications request
ing pardon to the governor of their
state;
Resolved, That this convention re-
spectfully request the labor press to
give the widest possible publicity to
the action taken by this convention

FAKE BROKERS
SHIELDED

New York.-Public officials are
having difficulty in prosecuting fake
and criminal brokers because the law
does not permit the seizure of the
brokers' books.
The latest brokerage firm that fail
ed for millions surrendered its books
only after it was agreed that the
books would not be used against them.
An attempt was made in the last
state legislature to pass law that
would permit the state to examine
books of brokers against which Grim
inal complaint was made. The plan
was defeated, and District Attorney
Banton says that the party response
BILE for the defeat is Seymour l..
Cromwell, president of the New York
stock exchange, who telegraphed to
certain senators during the closing
days of the legislature.
Cromwell took this position despite
his claim that he favors Furnishing
crooked brokers. The stock exchange
and similar institutions have resisted
all forms of tate control, though the
members of these institutions handle
millions of dollars.
Another feature of this case is the
insistence of these brokers that trade
unions should be incorporated.

ly many honorable men on the Brewer
ticket, yet it would seem republican
workingmen would be showing good
judgment in voting against these con-
ditions.
Valentine Winters has a perfect
right to become active in support of
the Brewer candidates. That is the
privilege of every citizen. But by
the same token every workingman
has a right to regard with suspicion
any political cause or faction chap
eroned or fathered by Valentine Win
ters. That is their right and priv
ilege.
"Mr. Winters is reported as not only
actively supporting the Brewer cam
didates, but also has personally inter
ested himself in trying to induce the
anti-Brower candidates to withdraw.
Those who know the banker say he
is not actuated by purely patriotic
motives, the belief being expressed
that he is seeing visions of personal
power as well as substantial financial
rewards through eventual control of
state finances.
"Since Mr.. Winters introduced the
low wage, yellow dog system on the
city railway Dayton wage earners
have had no reason to regard the
gentleman with affection. And the
fact that he is now seeking to elect
the Brewer candidates and thus con-
troll the republican machinery in this
county should be sufficient to cause
the workingmen to take a lively inter
est in the contest"

HIRE CHINESE SEAMEN

Seattle.-Local trade unionists are
wondering how sincere tie United
States shipping board is in its claims
for an American merchant marine
This question is asked because one
of the boards vessels-the President
Jefferson-operated by the Admiral
line, is now manned by Chinese sea-
men, with Chinese unable to speak
the English language in the engine
and steward departments.
This action of the Admiral line is
in direct violation of the La Fol-
lette seamens law.

BIG TELEPHONE PROFITS

New York.-For the first six months
of this year the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company announce a
profit of s32,364,1 1873, after all charges
and taxes have been paid. This is the
same profit as last year except that
$100,000,000 additional capital stock
has been issued during that period
The per centage of profit is thus kept
at a modest figure by the well-known
expedient of increasing capital.

against the government
The shop men laugh at Mr.. Tit
combs nerve and point out that six
months ago he reduced wages of the
Arizona Eastern employees and de-
clared at that time his company was
not party to any United States
railroad labor board decisions.
