Publicity Stunts
of Whalen Prove
Recovery" Fraud
Will Give "Jobs" to
10000 Firing
Furnaces

NEW YORK.-Wanamaker's dap
per floor walker and former club
Der Of New York's jobless, Grover
Whalen, has begun an intense drive
to advertise his new merchandise as
chairman of the city NRA campaign
committee. Whalen discovered that
relief needs are declining and the
number of jobs are on the rise. To
prove his point he quotes the re-
ports of Tammany's Public Welfare
Commissioner. Frank J. Taylor.
OF the million and a half unem-
ployed in New York City many have
been placed on jobs according to
the report Whalen received from
Taylor. To be exact 267 were given
jobs in the last week in July, thru
Taylor's department. The following
week it rose to 324 and for last week
the figures SCARED to BAL. How rid
iculous these figures are is further
shown by the estimate made of the
increased employment among the of
flee workers. He reports a A per
cent rise in May over April and a
60 per cent increase the following
month. But the actual number of
people who have received jobs are
not quoted.
The floor walker is decidedly
optimistic" He even expects that
if it gets cold enough between Sept,
Is and Oct. Is then $4,000 will be
given jobs to fire furnaces in New
York buildings. But every one is
aware that these JOBS are usually
done by the janitors and regular
help employed in the buildings.
Probably Whalen forgot to add
the jobs which will be provided
cleaning up discarded straw hats at
the end Of the summer.
According to Taylor, applications
for relief have declined. He reports
that in April they received 37,129
applications, in May 24,175, in June
1897 and in July 1000. But his
figures come in conflict with the
reports made by Harry L. Hopkins,
Federal Relief administrator. Ac-
cording to federal reports there has
been an increase of 10 per cent in
the number of families needing re
lief, while funds for relief have
dropped 1871 per cent. Therefore
there has been drop in relief funds
but actually the number of families
needing aid have increased. Accord
ing to federal figures minimum of
81 100000 to S10,0o0,000 month is
needed for city relief.
These advertising stunts may aid
in creating a big bubble, but in SO
far as the unemployed are concerned
even cold government figures show
an increase in suffering among the
jobless.

Ambitious Plan
Fifty thousand workers were to
be organized for this purpose. Just
how the factories were to be taken
however, was never made quite clear
to the workers. The program OF

Some Workers, fooled into joining

themselves out to do job, paint

ceived no pay. In return for their
work they received some canned

or secondhand clothes and furni-

Speak on What NRA
Means to All Workers

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. Is. -
Five hundred leaders and active
members of workingclass organiza-
lions here on Friday heard Clarence
Hathaway, editor of the Daily Work
er, speak on the MIRA and how it
will effect the employed and unenl-
ployed.
Hathaway particularly dealt on the
necessity of the workers organizing
to fight against it.
A plan Of action was unanimously
adopted by the meeting for a broad
campaign against the MIRA. The Or
CARNATIONS have pledged to mobilize
their entire membership in this cam
paign to organize the workers in the
shops and factories, and to especially
help in the points of concentration
Kensington, textile center; the Phil
adelphia waterfront; and Budd's au-
tornobile factory. ? +?
AS the beginning of this campaign,
city-wide Tag Day will take place
on Saturday and Sunday, August &c
and 81, to collect funds and at the
same time carry thru a general agit-
alton against the MIRA. The organi-
cations are being modified to come
out 100 per cent.
Hand in hand with the campaign
against the NRA will go the build
ing of militant trade unions of the
workers and the Trade Union Unity
League.
A broad committee Of rs was cleo
ted at the meeting which will handle
the details of the campaign, to be
called the Anti-Nira Campaign Com
mittee, with headquarters at 1925

"The Solid Man."
(New York Herald Tribune


 William Muldoon, American legend whose great fame had been wasting away for many months died yesterday morning up in the Westchester Hills at the "hygenic institute" as he called it, where he had brought many shambling wrecks of men back to something resembling health and sanity. Almost to the last he had the face of an Irish king and the magnificent body which had been his pride, his fortune and the envy of lesser men,
 In his long life Che eighty y-eght May 25) he performed almost incredible deeds, and the tales about him could be spun on forever. Con- slider that it during the Civil War that he hit upon the idea of the shower bath, that he saw Phil Sheridan ride his black horse Rienz, consider that he took the boated John L. Sullivan and hammered him into splendid athlete, that he once yelled at United States Senator Bend over and wash your feet" and made him like it. To hear that he is dead is like getting the news of the passing of Thor
 In recent years MT. Muldoon has been known to the public chiefly because of his membership on the State Athletic Commission He and the other members at various times were criticized for their rulings, but the very nature of their tasks, the regulation of the oncefugtve sports of boxing and wrestling, made it impossible for them to please every one. Certainly "the solid Muldoon" always had fine contempt for the vermin in human form who since time immemorial have been asso- ciated with the frnges of professional sport.
 Muldoon dictatorial, cantankerous hot-temp- cred, stubborn. He followed the advice which his own mother gave him, and never married. He was tolerant enough of cigars and liquor in moderation Indeed, he used them himself; but he had almost savage scorn for the who overindulged, the man who became fabby and soft and the victim of bad habits Good physical condition was almost religion with him. In particular he hated cigar cites. He Spartan all his life
 And yet, to those who knew him, he often re- vealed almost sentimental side. He proud that he had risen, from sorrel-topped bruiser who fought or wreslted for $3 night in the liquor dens, to the estate of a country gentlemen. It pleased him enormously when Governor Miller ap- pointed him to the State Athletic Commission He performed many small acts of charity about which the public knew little. He liked clear spring days to go to the roof of his rambling old house at Purchase and look across the Sound toward the home of Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. He liked to recall his friendship with the great and strenuous Teddy, whom he admired enormously just as he later developed tremendous admiration for the courage of President Franklin D. Roosevelt Few persons knew that of his favorite char acters for all that his pattern of life was almost exactly the opposite of Muldoons, the wild and unfortunate fighter Norman Selby-"Kid" Mccoy He actually loved the Kid" He had the respect and affection of his neighbors, which he returned in kind. Solid and incorruptble he will become part of American folklore He belongs there.

AMBASSADORS OF GOOD WILL.

To the Ambassadors of Good Will from Seattle visiting in Juneau today, The Empire adds its welcome to that extended by the Chamber of Com merce and residents of Juneau generally. While primarily representing the Seattle Chamber of Commerce they of course bring to us the greetings and offers of assistance from that city which is Alaskas nearest American neigilbor and the one with which Aaskans have the closest business and social relations.
 Perhaps it is trite to say that such visitations are the surest means of cultvating friendship and promoting harmonious and profitable business rela- tionships. The triteness, however does not take away from it's truth. Aaskans the most friendly people anywhere And they like to trade as well as visit with their friends. They enjoy their contacts with them. It is regrettabe that such tours as that sponsored by the Seattle Chamber of Con- merce to Alaska and in this city, are not more frequent. It would increase the contacts be- tween Alaska and Seattle, strengthen the already strong bonds of friendship and trade eliminate misunderstanding and chances for them, and bring about a better understanding the part of both.
 The welcome we extend to these Ambassadors of Good Will is that of friends to friends It pleases us to be their hosts Our one regret is that they do not stay longer. And as we speed them in parting, it is with the wish that they may return again and for another visitation.

The part that Alaska plays in Seattles water borne commerce. which constitutes of that great cty's most important sources of business revenue is strikingy set forth in the latest annual report of the Port Warden of the Puget Sound metropolis The aggregate value of its incoming and outgoing ship mentS for 1892 is fixed in it as $46,762,078. The total value of all maritime commerce for the city was $3O8513814 In other words Alaska's com merce entering and leaving the Port of Seattle last year constituted more than Is per cent of all the commerce of the port
 It was second on the list of domestic importers and was ahead of any foreign shipper into the port Its shipments to the port were valued at about two-thirds of all the foreign shipments it received It's exports from Seattle ranked fourth in domestic commerce and exceeded in value Seatte's exports to all foreign countries combined.
 A study of the comparative figures ought to be enlightening As listed by the Port Warden they were:

Easy on Pure Science.
(New York Times.)

Dr. Simon Flexner evidently does not believe that ours is a materiastic age everything. We do not lay gross hands on the snow-white robes of star-eyed science. The director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research told a luncheon audience the other day that research scientists in the past were required to show immediate re- suits. AS result the progress of science slow. Today we let the scientist play around with any thing that interests him, and very often we get the most mpressvey useful results.
 This is not what we are always told about scientific inquiry, but it does agree with what we used to read in the schoobooks about science the past. Geometry began in Egypt as field surveying. Astronomy used to be largely astrology Chemistry began. as alchemy: people were looking for the elixir of life and the philosophers stone which turn led lead into gold.

Alaskan shipments into Seattle were worth more than those from any other domestic source except Californias They exceeded those from the entire Atlantic Seaboard They were worth more than all of the shipments received from other Wash ington points by water. And they several times exceeded incoming shipments from all other sections of the United States, including Territories and possessions.
