most within touch of Henderson,
who was already in the seat which
he had chosen-a sturdy figure he

He turned on me a keen, search
ing, yet withal a kindly look; our
eyes met for a moment. and then
putting out his hand, he said,
"Well, my boy, I think you'll do.
That was the beginning, and we
were always good friends. We
represented adjoining districts, the
Mississippi River between. He had
called me across the State line to
speak for him in the campaign OF
1890 when he feared he was los

defeat in that landslide year.

Mckinley Shakes Hands
A few old-time friends, Major
Mckinley among them, greeted
me cordially with a warm hand
and an understanding look in the
eye, though in the main I was
made to feel that they regarded
me a political outcast.
With Harrison's nomination, the
Wisconsin machine selected It's
candidates for the State campaign.
Former Senator Spooner was its
candidate for Governor. The rank
and file of the party had nothing
to say-Sawyer, Payne and a few
others made the plans.
I was not yet ready to offer OPP
position, and declined to wait until
two years later. But 1t was OBJ

During my four congressional
campaigns I had been called each

independent
I believed in the integrity of the
rank and file of the party. I could
see no valid reason why I should
stand apart from the great body of
men with whom I had been affili-
ated politically since coming to my
majority, so long as I was in sub
stantial agreement with the ideas
about which that party was or
gained
For these reasons, briefly stated,
I had settled it in my own mind
that would fight within the
ranks. did not propose that those
norlinally in control Of the party
Organization should for any reason
blacklist and put me outside OF
the party lines.
II I chose at any time to leave
the party, it would be because my
convictions compelled me to do so.
But 1 would not recognize the au-
thority of any man or any set OF
men to decide my party status.
After waiting until it became
quite apparent that I should not
be invited, wrote to the chair
man of the State central commit
tee rendering my services as
speaker in the campaign. He came
to see me at my law office in
Madison, and suggested that in
view of the feeling existing against
me on the part of Senator Sawyer
and his many friends, it would be
inadvisable for me to take part in
the campaign.
He suggested the feeling against
me was very intense and that my
appearance on the platform might
be resented with violence. I an
swered that that would not deter
me from entering the campaign.
I furthermore stated that il II

under the auspices Of the State
central committee, I would make
my own announcements and speak
under my own auspices; that was
deeply interested in Harrison's
election and wanted to do all in
my power for him; and that I was
reasonably confident that I would
have as good meetings i'm numbers
and results as any managed by
the State central committee
Chairman Thorn thereupon de-
cided that If 1 was going to speak
anyway, he preferred that I should
speak under the direction of the
State central committee.
This, I told him, would be per-
fectly agreeable to me, but that
should designate the places where
I was to speak. He desired to
know what my attitude would be

The Laundry Workers met in spe-
cial session on Wednesday night to
frame up a picnic that would out

dinner. The starting point will be
Grayport Press hall on G street, at
$3.50 a. m.

are also slated.
The entertainment committee is
as follows: Mrs. Chas. Hanna, Mrs.
Chas. Halle, Mrs. Comiada, and Cora

FALL FAILS TO
GET SECRET HEARING

Ell PASO, Texas, July 31.-When
Albert B. Fall was secretary Of the
interior, and member of the Hard
ing Coolidge cabinets, his every wish
was granted, and he was powerful
enough to turn over natural resources
to private parties.
But times have changed, and now
he is refused a private preliminary
hearing to arrange for his appearance
in Washington next October to an
swer charges in connection with the
leasing of government oil reserves.
It is claimed that Fall actually be-
lieved the United States commissioner
would come to his house to arrange
details for his $25,OO0 bail bond.
Friends of Fall had previously con-
ferred with the commissioner, who
treated Fall as any other accused.

WASHINGTON, July 31--The waste of human effort
and lives in work that be done efficiently by machinery
is tragedy declared Ethebert Stewart commissioner of
labor statistics, writing in the Monthly Labor Review
By the of aborsavng equipment it becomes possible
to concentrate productive work at better pay and
thereby reduce the amount of social resessness peva
lent among the workers of the world today this economist
declared.
Besides the of for tasks which offer them little
incentive Mr. Stewart pointed out the great waste
of man-power through unemployment and lost time;
through labor turnover which is very largely concerned
with the unskied and semslled workers and through
plant neffcency while in the agricultural industry there
is great labor waste by of inefficient and outworn
methods of farm management and operation
The remedy for the Industrial economic and social ills
resulting from these conditions is considered to lie in the
reform of manufacturing and industrial methods op
basis of human conservation and hepulness rather
than upon human deterioration and wastefuness" the
commissioner declared.

Editor of The Molders' Journal
1--WE cannot help but feel as a re-
suit of our experience as a trade-un-
ionist in Massachusetts, that the aid
and comfort Of the courts is extend
ed to the employer with a prodigal
hand, while the worker seems shack
led and fettered BY the courts prohi-
bitions, so that the legal right to
peared to become a right only when
organize into trade unions has ap-
peared to become a right which can
only be enjoyed when the employer
gives his consent.
"That if he engages in a legal
strike, he conducts it in an illegal
manner; if he has legal pickets, they
perform illegally; if he acquaints his
fellow trade-unionists with the condi-
tions existing, he is conducting an
Illegal boycott; If he asks recognition
Of the union in negotiations with the
employer, he is making an illegal
demand; if he strikes to protect
members who have been discharged
for their activities, he is in the COM
mission of an illegal act; if he tries
to increase the membership of his
union in competition with the Indi-
vidual Contract, he is acting illegal
ly, in fact, everything he does is
wrong"
This vigorous statement is taken
from one Of the most interesting ex-
pressions Of opinion which has been
written in connection with the labor
injunction. It formed part of doc
ument which may become historic, for
it was 3 feature Of the most extra
ordinary experience which trade un-
ionists have gone through in connec-
tion with injunctions. The docu-
ment from which it was taken was
intended to establish a marked de-
parture from all other methods Of
defense which trade unionists have
adopted to protect themselves from
the injury done to them when its in
junction restrained them from pro-
tecting their interests by pruhibiting
their exercise Of constitutional rights,
while leaving the employers free to
attaek them and their right to enjoy
trade union organization.
The story of the document and
the experiences which accompany it,
form an amazing story which cannot
be fully told in tablet form. It's
several interesting features will be
presented in separate articles. For
the present let US briefly present evil
dence to justify the vigorous and def
mite statement with which this arti-
Gle begins.
The first labor injunction in the
United States was issued by Mas
sachusetts court in 1888, the judges
basing their authority to issue the
restraining order upon a precedent
established in England many years
ago. Thet fact that the highest court
in England had set aside the action
of the lower court in issuing the in
junction, did not deter the Massa-
chusetts Judge. Like other equity
judges he wanted a precedent, and
even though he must have knwon
