SfiMker Protests Against til* Possi
bility of Special Legislation to Le
alize the Boycott and Declares
hat "an Organization That Cannot
mive Unless It Gets License to
Break the Laws Deserves to Die."
Hew York, May 19.—Discussion of
the labor problem was the feature of
the day's session of the convention of
the National Association of Manufac
turers. President Van Cleave of the
association spoke in protest against
the possibility of special legislation
In favor of organised labor, pleading
for consideration of the Bubject on
the grouud that such legislation
would constitute a menace to the
country's welfare.
The coming session of congress
would seem a particularly favorable
time to the labor leaders for the urg
ing of legislation to legalize picketing
JAMES W. VAN CLEAVE,
and the boycott, Mr. Van Cleave de
clared. because both parties would be
particularly anxious to control the
next house.
"Reverses In the middle of a presi
dential term." said the speaker, "us
ually mean that the opposing party
will elect the next president. In all
puch canvasses there is always a pow
erful temptation for the politicians In
both partits to make promises and
concessions to all sorts of elements
with the hope of winning or retaining

|'class legislation" Mr. Van Cleave
urged necessity of further precau
tions. "Financial confidence is reviv
ing and there is an improvement in
most of the important lines of trade,'
he said. "Unwise labor legislation,
however, could quickly check this
trade uplift."
Referring to the elTorts of labor
leaders to secure tlie enactment rf
anti-injunction legislation President
Van Cleave said:
"We defected them in Washington
then the conspirators massed their
forces in Chicago and attempted to
frighten the Republican national con
vention and its candidates into sanc
tioning their undemocratic, anti-repub
llcan and un-\merican propaganda.
We defeated them there also. As the
plotters then contrived to place their
doctrine of diss favors into the Den
ver platform and as they obtained
formal endorsement for them from
the Democratic candidate we had no
alternative except to 1hrow our sup
port to the Chicago nominee. And we
have excellent reasons for knowing
our work told decisively In tbe gen
erul result.
"Fair minded, public spirited citi
sens will say that an organization
which by the acknowledgment of Its
own leaders cannot live unless it gets
a license to breatc the laws deserves
to die.
"In the United States at this mo
ment there is an absolutism which
violates the orders of its courts, which
denounces its judges and which re
pudiates and defies the laws and au
thority of the nation."

ing committee as a candidate for
president of the association to suc

Akrcn, O.
Akron, O., May 19.—Fire in th
seven-story Hower block practically
destroyed the building and its cor
tents, causing a loss which will aggre
gate $1,500,000. Several girls em
ployed in the building had a narrow
escape. Firemen were in danger from
falling walls.
The building was occupied entirely
by light manufacturing companies.
Th^re were upward- of 200 employee

covered. The blaze started in the
basement and the occupants of the
block had plenty ot time tc escape,
although the young women were
thrown into a panic.

the White House it was announced
t*iat the president's wife had rested
comfortably and was much better.
Mrs. Taft became ill while on n
trip down the Potomac river with thr

New York, May 19.—A bread fam
Ire among the 700,000 residents of the
Eaat Side was inaugurated when more
than 400 bakeries closed down. The
trouble started with the increase ir
the price of wheat recently and was
augmented by the coincident strike of
the bakery employes on the East Side
At a meeting of the bakery owners
it was unanimously decided to close
all of their qhops, numbering more
than 400. The police, hearing of this
detailed an unusually large number of
men on duty in that section during
the hours when housewives usually
visit the bakeries. There was a fear
that the riotous scenes c.f a lew years
ago, when the price of meat was
raised, might be repeated.
Bakers who are not affected by th?
action of the meeting will not be able
to supply one-tenth of the demand for
bread in the crowded Kast Side and
therefore it was believed that there
would be au unprecedented demand
for flour and bread from other sec
tion*.
SHOCKING DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Young Couple Found Dead Four Days
After Marriage.
Portland, Ore., May 19.—Informa
tion has reached here of the finding,
four dayB after their marriage, of the
bodies of Louis H. Worley and his
bride at their home near Redmond, a
town in the vicinity of Prineville, Ore.
The tragedy Is shrouded in mystery.
Mrs. Worley's charred body was
found In the burned ruins of the
home, while that of her husband was
found in the barn with a bullet wound
in the temple. According to the ver
dict of the coroner's Jury, which held
an Inquest over Mrs. Worley's body,
the woman came to her death acci
dentally. Whether Worley committed
suicide or whether the couple were
victims of a double murder has not
been decided. Worley came to Ore
gon from 8t. T^ouis, where he was
born. He owned one of the best
farms In the district and was conoid
ered prosperous. Recently he sent
for Miss Ruth Leeroy of Chicago, his
sweetheart, who had known him in
the East, and she came here and
married him, the wedding taking place
Wednesday last.
BLOCKS TRAFFIC FOR

A
TIME
Partial Caveinof Famous Tunnel Near
Leadville, Colo.
Denver, May 19.—Nearly 600 feet of
the famous tunnel over Tennessee
pass on the Denver and Rio Grande
railway, located about five miles west
of Leadville, has caved in. There
were no casualties, but the tracks will
be blocked probably for three days.
The cavein occurred about 1,000
feet from the portal of the tunnel,
probably at one of three air shafts
that reach up through the tunnel roof,
and undoubtedly was caused by the
melting of the extremely heavy
snows.
The discovery of the cavein was
made by a track walker. Believing
that the vast mass of dirt and rock
had buried a train he hurried back to
the first station and gave the warning.
A train bearing engineers and officials
of the road was rushed to the scene,
but it was found that no one had been
hurt. Arrangements have been made
whereby traffic will be taken care of
by the Colorado Midland railway.
Tokio's Mayor uines Americana,
Tokio, May 19.—The mayor gave a

making and the guests of the evening
thoroughly enjoyed the last of the
many functions which have marked
the reception of Harber's fleet while
