NEEDS OF LABOR. Addrens to Be Delivered ly President Perkins, of State Federation. President Edgar A. Perkins, of the State Federation of Labor, has completed his ad dress and report to be submitted to the annual meeting at Logansport next week. It suggests that more attention be given organized labor through a "lecture bu reau," says the minimum-wage and eight hour laws passed by the last Legislature have not been rroperly enforced, and that men have not been properly protected in the right to Join labor organizations. It is urged that the federation devise a means whereby the constitutionality of labor laws may be tested in the courts to find the weak places In order that they may be remedied, and organized labor is directed to watch a proposed amendment to the me chanic's lien law. Sympathy is expressed for the striking miners In the anthracite coal region, and radical outbreaks are de plored. The union label Is praised, and the recognition of organized labor by the press Is commended. The address asks for a constitutional amendment so that cities can exceed the debt limitations for the purpose of carrying out the theory of municipal ownership. A primary election law and the use of voting machines is advocated, with a provision in the law compelling candi dates for otTlce to tiln a public expense ac count. The law governing convict labor is spoken of as fulfilling the demands of or ganized labor. In conclusion the address asks that the federation send a list of ques tions to all candidates for the Legislature to ascertain their attitude regarding organ ized labor and what organized labor can expect if they are elected. By united ac tion it is set out that union labor will strongly assert itself in the next Legislature. W. J. BRYAN WORRIED MUCH COXCERXKD BECAUSE TOIL ERS IIAVI2 FL LI. I)I.NNi:n PAILS. Insnlts Workingmrn hy Likening Them to Sqneallnt? IIog 3Iore AlluMlons to Lincoln. FORT SCOTT, Kan.. Sept. 18. W. J. Bryan delivered two speeches here this morning in Convention Hall and at the public park. At the latter place, speaking of the "full dinner pall." he said: "When the hog is hungry, he squeals; when he is full he goes to sleep. That geems to be the Republican idea of the working man." No party, he argued, had any claim upon a citizen except as a means of promoting his welfare, and no man was bound to support any party which was not true to the interests of the peo ple. The Republican party had, he as serted, manifested no concern for the wel fare of the masses, hence it had forfeited all claim upon their support. In sub stantiation of this statement he instanced to what he designated as the Republican partiality for the trusts, which were, he said, as private monopolies, entirely in the Interest of the few, and opposing to the Interests of the many. Likewise the increase in the army was seized upon as one of the facts going to show that the Republican party was not the party of the people. Accounting for the increase in the size of the army, he said that perhaps it was Intended to meet such emergencies as that which had arisen In the anthracite coal regions. The only domestic reason for Increasing the army was to suppress by force that discontent among the people which should be cured by legislation. Mr. Bryan again referred to the Income tax question, saying: "Republicans, there was a time when your party favored the in come tax. Abraham Lincoln signed the bill that made the income tax, and it was not a plain income tax, but a graded one. Now, when we advocate an income tax to-day you call us Anarchists. How dare you accuse Abraham Lincoln of being an Anarchist? for he did Just what we are doing to-day." He also said Abraham Lincoln signed tne bill providing for the greenbacks, lie believed that this Nation should issue its own money, and that no private corpora tion should issue or control one dollar of the money the people used. "Repub licans," he said, "Is this a dangerous doc trine? If It is, Abraham Lincoln is re sponsible for the dangerous doctrine which you now denounce." In discussing the trusts, Mr. Bryan said: "Read the letter of acceptance of the Pres ident and see what he says In regard to the trusts. He spends more time warning you not to harm the good trusts than he does In telling you how to et rid of the bad effects. Read the letter" of the vice presidential, candidate and see how anxious he Is that nobody should say any thing against the trusts. The Republican party to-day stands sponsor at the cradle of more trusts that ever sprang into ex istence before. The Republicans have had the President, the Senate and the House, and the Republican party has been in power for three years, and as yet has not made one specific suggestion look ing toward the destruction of the trusts. The only ray of hope the Republicans can possibly throw out that they are able 4o extinguish the trusts, might be found In the argument that, having brought the trusts Into creation, they know the nature of them, and can consequently kill what they created. "You will read In a Republican paper that the Republican national committee is in consultation with Mr. Gates, of the barbed wire trust. That does not alarm you farmers at all. The Republican farmer seems to think that the trust magnate does not support the Republican ticket, but they furnish the money with which to carry on the campaign. The Repub lican party has taken the side of organized wealth against the rest of the people. The Republicans cannot be trusted to destroy tho trusts, and if you who oppose the trusts are really in earnest, you must seek relief somewhere else." "While he was discussing the question of imperialism and "consent of the governed" some one asked Mr. Bryan: "How about North Carolina?" "I am glad you mentioned North Caro lina." said Mr. Bryan. "Now, I want you to read the Sulu treaty, and, having done that, I think you will blush until election day, and never have time to think of North Carolina." This sally brought a prolonged cheer from the crowd, and when it had sub skied Mr. Bryan outlined this treaty, al leging that it recognizes slavery. He then said that the Republican party had, many years ago, disfranchised the negro in the District of Columbia, and by legislation during the last session of Congress the ne groes of Porto Rico had even been denied the right of trial by Jury. No state legis latures of the United States had gone so far. "Yes," said he, "this race question is a serious question wherever it is encoun tered. And is not the presence, of race prejudice in this country to-day a reason why we should not take the chances of in creasing it by adding to our population S.000.000 people of a totally different race? No intelligent citizen can deny the exist ence of the race question here, and it Is such a serious question that it will take all the intelligence of both white and black people to settle, even under existing condi tions. For God's sake, then, don't let us taki any step which will further compli cate the situation." Mr. Bryan left at 1:50 p. m. for Kansas City. The "Full Dinner Tail" Again. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 18. W. J. Eryan spoke in Armourdale, Kan., late this afternoon, and in this city to-night. His speech in Armourdale was devoted mainly to the "full dinner pail." t . 118,000 ARE OUT. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) day by permission of the strike leaders. who did not desire to cripple the public utilities, but the strikers evened things up by inducing the twenty men at the adjacent Carbon Coal Company's washery to turn out. This washery was bent on working night and day. Late last night the men were stoned from a hill overlooking culm piles and driven to seek shelter in the en glne room, but when the assailants dls persed operations were resumed. At y o'clock this morning a crowa or more man iuo men and women assembled near the washery and by jeers and threats Induce the whole force to quit work and go home. The strikers persuaded a Delaware, Lackawan na & Western crew to go back to the yards without the trainload of coal which they were sent to take out of the awltch of the Diamond washery, one of three Del aware, Lackawanna & Western places keeping at work. Later the engine and crew returned, carrying a squad of de tectives and a case of rifles. The strikers had gone away in the interim, and the coal train was taken out without incident. Benjamin Davis, a superintendent of the Clark tunnel, in the northern end of the city, was arrested on the charge of point ing firearms, preferred by a striker named Frank Payne. It is alleged David In vaded the public highway with a gun, halt ed Payne, who was peacefully coming from his home to town, and threatened to shoot him if he did not turn back. Later the case was settled. ... RAILROAD MEX IDLE. No Work While the Collierlea Are Idle ScTeral Knockdowns. WILKESBARRE. Pa., Sept. 18. The Pennsylvania Coal Company managed to get two of Its collieries In partial opera tlon before noon. One hundred and fifty men are employed at one mine, and fifty at another. The other collieries In Pittston are idle. It is estimated that 1,500 railroad men on the seven railroads passing through Wllke barrc are idle in consequence of the strike. The crews on all coal trains between Car bondale and Packerton are affected. The Central Railroad of New Jersey employes are the heaviest sufferers, as they haul all the coal of the Lehigh and Wllkesbarre Coa! Company, and the eight collieries of that company, which have a large output. are idle, Sujerlntendent Chase, of the Lehigh Val ley Company, who stands close to the op erators of this region, said to-day that he saw no immediate prospect of a settlement. so long as Mitchell Insisted upon his de mands. "The operators will never treat with Mr. Mitchell." said he. "I don't say that there Is not a way of settling the strike, but It will never be settled through Mitchell." The miners held meetings in various places this afternoon and evening. Presi dent Nichols came up from Hazleton this afternoon and addressed a large meeting of union and nonunion men at Sugar Notch. Before the meeting the union and nonunion men started a quarrel. The nonunion men accused the union men of calling them hard names. There were several knock downs before the fighters could be sepa rated. As a result of an appeal from Mr. Nichols nearly all present joined the union. A number of special officers were sworn In to-day to protect coal company property. As a rule the strikers are keep ing away from the works. Special Deputies on Guard. SHAMOKIN, Pa., Sept. 18. Everything was quiet to-day, with the exception of a few persons squabbling and a slight sensa tion at Mount Carmel this morning, brought on by some mischievous breaker boys. A train arrived here at an ear ly hour this morning from the west and proceed through the regions worked by the Mineral and Union Coal Company, dropping Fpecial deputies at every station as they passed. Some three hundred were thus quietly introduced be fore the whistles blew to awaken the men. In this immediate neighborhood not a wheel is revolving. Several of the operators have ordered their mules to be hoisted out of the mines and have discharged even the few men who were willing to work. Tronlile Brewing In Lykens Valley. HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept 18. Trouble is brewing to-night in the Lykens valley re gion between the union and nonunion an thracite miners over the refusal of the men at "WHIianntown to Join the strike. The mine employes in the neighboring towns of Lykens and Wyconcisco are on strike, and threaten to compel the Wll llamstown men to quit work. A meeting of the Williamstown men was held to night, at which it was decided to stand firm against any attempt on the part of the strikers to force them to join the strike. Sheriff Reiff to-day swore in 150 deputies, who will" act in conjunction with a double force of watchmen on duty at Williamstown colliery. More Work at More Pay. LANSFORD, Pa., Sept. 18. Five thousand mine workers employed by the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company in the Panther Creek valley, Schuylkill region, and Nesquehoning valley will work ten hours a day beginning to-morrow. This means increased earnings for the men. It is stated that there is not a discontented miner. In this locality. The mine workers are not organized and "Mother" Jones and two other labor agitators came here to night to hold a miners' meeting. Their reception was so indifferent, however, that they canceled their engagement of the hall and left town. Price of Anthracite Pnt l'p. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 18.-The Phila delphia and Reading Coal and Iron Com pany and all the local coal dealers to-day advanced the price of coal 25 and 50 cents a ton, respectively. The Reading advance applies either to coal at the mines or at tidewater, and with the local dealers the advance goes into operation at once. The Reading further announces that all unfilled orders for September are canceled, and that all future orders are subject to the com pany's ability to furnish the coal. MORE BODIES POUND.
