Ills I lira of I'tiliiiiliiu.
Ho was Introduced by President Dell of
the Central Labor union nnd ga\o just an
advisory tnlk , so to speak , to union men as
members of organized labor. In this ho
was emphatic In Impressing upon them the
Importance of organization nnd their du
ties as trades unionists Said ho
lou no recently organized workingmen ,
having but lately entered a controversy even
iKfoio you were oiganlzed , and you stood
llko a rock of adamant , determined to secure
redress fiotn Homo of your grievances , and ,
veiy strangely , jou won a victory Lot mo
tell you that you have now moro need of
orgnnlzatlun than ever belore Youi mas
ters were lords of all they surveyed uml
jou their absolute slaves. Slnco you havu
organlred your masters appreciate perhaps
better than you do that you are orgnnl/ed
for .1 purpose , for better positions , for bet
ter living , for that which Is duo jou They
know that , ns the result of all the brain
and brawn of bygone ngcs we , as work
ingmen of the nineteenth century , have de
termined that all the products nf our toll
Khali not go 111(9 ( "lo coffers of our em-
plojors. but that some of them shall go
into our own homes for our own benefit
Whe'n men are poorly organized It makes
ptrong-hcartcd men weak and accounts for
that class of servile- workers known as
"shop-BUckers , " but when you uro organ
ized It makes strong-hearted men heroes
for the cause of labor , no that If jou have
men In your midst of the caliber designated
fin "shop-suckers , " you are responsible for
them for not having organized sooner However -
over , now that you uro organized , do not
think that It Is vour bounden duty to go
nnd rat a capitalist as an appetizer for
breakfast or as a dessert to your dinner ,
for under our present conditions of society
the emplo > er of labor has his functions and
his rights also
Hut what I want to tnlk to you about
morn particularly Is your dutj Your duty
Is to become organized to come Into the
union. If not In already I have beard
men say , "I am as good as nnv nian In
the union " Then they are ton good to stay
out of the union I have hf-ird them nv
"I know how a union should l > p run " Then
thpy should romp Into tto union nnd holn
run It Anottipr man snvs "I have too
many rpsponslbllltles I have a wife and
family nnd I can't afford to pay fiO cents

What labor stands for Is Jiibtlcti and truth
With all thn Individual organizations bound
together In their central labor unions nnd
these again linked together In the American
IVdcrntlon of I/ibor. protection Is found nnd
the rights of labor assured under the union
banner. 1 have been rending In the pa
pers of the progress of labor In Europe ,
mil my friends , let mo toll jnu that labor
In Europe and In this country nnd In the
world nt large Is only In Its swaddling
rlothes. The time Is fast approaching ,
though , when the giant of labor shall arise
nnd , seeing down the vlstns of opportunity
the possibilities of achievement nnd ob
serving on everj hand the wrongs of broth
ers niul sisters It shall frel Its power nnd
tihnll use It with the strength of n giant

Samuel Gompers , the president of the
American 1'edcratlon of Labor , who Is In
the city to address the labor organizations
and will speak nt the exposition Auditorium
tonight , has some Ideas of his own on the
reasons for the general prosperity of the
country In discussing them he remarked
i last night
' I consider that the two great causes
of the prospcrltj have been the withdrawn !
of between 2'jO.OOO and 300.000 men from
competition In the various lines of industry
bj the Ute war nnd the fact that the oM
must give waj to the new "
As the second reason was rather cnlg-
matlral he explained "The panic of 1893
caused everybody to economize and to reduce -
duce the general expenditure for new
things to a minimum. Now these old
things arc getting worn out and It Is nec-
es arj to replace them with new Tor In
stance , the railroads have been wearing out
their tracks nnd rolling stock , with little
effort at repair and renewal , but as things
will wear they have to bo renewed moro
or less , all of which 1 cops up a demand
for labor , to which the withdrawal of the
2.0 000 soldiers gave a great Impetus 0"
course , not only were the poldlers with
drawn from labor competition , but thrj
were constantly consuming , providing
steady demand for the products of thos
who were producing.
"I cannot attribute the prosperity to th
tariff , for I find that Industrial crises am
Industrial piospulty como In both frc
tradennd tariff countries they come li
splto of fjeo trade or tariff , not because o
them Hut I do not care to discuss thos
economic questions "
Ho had something to say on the coa
situation In the east "Tho result of th
strike of a jear ngo , jou know , was t <
Increase the wngps of the miners 331-
per cent and to shorten the day to elgh
hours. This agreement applied to th
competitive bituminous district , comprising
the flvo states of Pennsylvania , Ohio , 1111
nols , Indiana nnd Virginia Hut the mln
operators have not lived up to their agree
mont. In the Pennsylvania pool the thin
pool the wages have been reduced 10 pc
cent The consequence Is that the miner
have struck again nnd we feef that w
must win this strike or wo will suffer th
s-imo reduction In the other two pools
If you want to know something about th
production nnd consumption of coal In tbl
countrj' It Is simply necessary to say tha
by working only four months In the yea
the minors can get out enough coal to sup
ply the needs of the entire country. Si
jou sco this miners' controversy become
a very serious question , Involving the vcr
vital matter of the living ability of th
miners. "
GETS AFTER JUDGE SCOT

Home Socli'ij Cn
Another check to the contempt proceti'
Ing of Judge Scott against Presldi-llL t
Holmes nnd Superintendent Qulvey of the
Nebraska Children's Homo society hns been
given by Attorney Cnnoll S Montgomery
He has already sent a transcript to Lin
coln In nn appeal to the supreme court nnd
expects a supersedeas allowed Immediately
Mr. Montgomery In his appeal Is attack
ing the very foundation of the matter lie
| nets up that Judge Scott did not take Iho
proper statutory course In his habeas cor
pus order , that the slatuto In Nebraska Is
ila
different from that of Michigan , Iowa and
some other stales referred lo In Ihe Judge's
opinion In tills state the statute requires
the order to bo made directing the sheriff
to produce the bodies In court , explains
Mr. Montcomerj , Inslead of the respond
ents direct , nnd a necessary preliminary
course overlooked by the judtic was lo
direct the Nebraska Children's Home so
ciety to disclose the w hereabouts of the
Dodd children. Hut ho even goes behind
this Ho pleads that the contract entered
Into by the parents with the society was n
waiver of Ibelr guardianship and that the
right way for the parents lo hive gone
about > ho matter was to have filed a bill
IIn
In eqully lo set aside the contract. From
Mr Montgomery's point of view the whole
controversy of habeas corpus and its se
quential contempt was purely secondary ,
the main question bclnc ns lo which hail
become Iho proper guardian , the parents
who had signed the children away or th [ „
soclctj' , which had received Ihcm In ac-
cordanco with the contract.

and floors arc swept In accordance with the
discipline of a soldier's life Veij few
visitors were seen during the afternoon ,
owing lo the unfavorable weather , though
almost every porch was occupied by n few
women friends of the soldiers , who bad dis
regarded the rain to spend the aflcrnoon In
barracks
At the temporary hospital there was an
Ircrenslng number of empty cots , as the oc
cupants were transferred lo more comforl-

during the day lo Fort Crook , Captain Uc-
bert being assigned to the camp to take
his place All cases on hand arc doing

Sergeant Major Djrno Turcol , who jestei-

appointment of promo

Wilson , resigned , says that furloughs will
bo issued to the men on Seplember 15 at
Iho latesl , and probably as soon ns Sep-
tcmbcr 12 This will extend over a period
of thirty eiajs. but will not Include trans
portation nirloughs win necessarily not
bo issued to all , as a garrison of 200 must
ho kept on hand for guard duty. Who
ii- -
will remain on this detail has not been
determined nnd w41I bo
settled as far ns
possible In accordance with the desires of
the soldiers. There are some who have no
especial ties to attract them to their home
town nnd who will be willing to stay until
they are finally mustered out. The balance
will probably be decided upon on the basis
of conduct. Those- who have been seriously
delinquent In deportment will be reported
ns candidates to 'Btay
behind. The ser
geant major hns sent a requisition for SOO
furlough blanks and this is the approxi
mate number that will go off duty Pay
daj will probably bo celebrated on Thurs
day and the bojs will have sufficient funds
to take them homo comfortably.

Water , which Is ordinarily the fire laddie's
greatest ally , vestcrdny aflcrnoou proved
lo bo his one-ni ) . It e-amr In the form of
rain a drenching downpour that soiked the
neat ' and nattj clothing of the firemen nnd
tarnished ' the golden nnd silvery glitter of
the ' apparatus that had received
i' ecomlums ' from thousands of spectators
during Iho labor parade The rnlu came
upon i them before Ihey had reached the
grounds nt Twentieth and Ames avenue ,
' where ' the tournament of the National I'lre-
mcn's , association was to have commenced
nnd continued long enough to necessitate
the , postponement of the Urst nflcrnoon s
j | porllon of Ihe program
I
I It was but a temporary postponement ,
however , for before the shades of night fell
the sun vvnt out and there was every pros
pect ' that today will be ns good a day as
could ' be desired for Ihe tournament The
rain did not do a particle of harm to the
track ' on which the running contesls are lo
take place A scraper was put upon It nt
I
once ' and nti hour's exertion on the part of
Old Sol will put It In bctler condillon lhan |
ever. With the ground In shape , thereIs
nothing to Interfere with the program The
\ building which will bo set ablaze during the
tournament nnd enable the lire department t
| to glvo a public exhibition of the oxtln-
1 | gulshlng of fires , Iho tall strucluro upon
which Ihe pompier exhibitions will be glve'ii ,
the engine heure. the grand sland all arc
ready. President Wood of the national as
sociation is In every way satisfied
Despite the rain jesterdny afternoon pre
sented a busy scene upon the grounds The
various fire companies which will engage In
the competitions ran their apparatus Into
the enclosure afte-r the parade and Into
the sheds which had been provided for their
accommodation The horses were slablcd
nnd oilier work Incidental to a week's stop
nt one place was done When everj thing
was put In proper order Iho members of
Iho companies returned lo Iho heart of the
city and their hotels.

The grounds upon which the tournament
ia to take place are ample and well suited
for the puipoao They \tcnd from the
Missouri Pacific tracks on the south to Ames
nvcnuo on the north and fiom Sherman
nvcnuo on the east to about Tw cut j-second '
street on the west The grand stand Is
located at the southern end and In front ,
of It are the stables , the cnglno house and
the buildings ! that nro to bo burned The
track runs directly nt its feet. Entrances
are provided under Iho grand stand and nt

Is dlreclly opposlle the northern exposition

A good number of companies will take

Inrgclj , had not the railroads pursued their
usual tactics It was Ihe understanding
that 1 cent a mlle should bo fixed ns the
10u
rate to the cltj from nny point wllhln
radius of 200 miles of the clly and a round
Irlp rate of 80 per cent of one faro for )
a moro distant point. This was the assur
ance given to President Wood of the asso
ciation and on the htrenglh of It he suc
ceeded In working up a great deal of In
terest In the lournamcnt Js'o less than llfi
companies weie repotted to bo In training
for Iho conlests , a dozen special trains from
different parts of the couulry were ar
ranged and a big concourse of spcclntors
would certainly hive como along.
Two or three dajs ago , when Iho com
panies commenced to get readj to come
they were utterly unsuccessful 111 getting
the rates promised , bpeclal trains were re
fused and no satisfactory intcs could bo lie-
cured. The case at Atlantic. la , la cited
This town Is on the Kock Island , not 100
