"Organized labor must prepare for the
plgantlc struggle that In fast npproarhlng,
fa hen thn very exlstouco of ltd organizations
Vlll bo at stake."
General Master Workman Hums In his
ft nniml mniairi inMi
"Tho llrat Krcat struggle between organ
iied lator and a great trust was between
the Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Btecl Worker nnd tho United States Steel
companion. H matterH not whnt crrorn and
mistakes nro rhorged to tho officers nnd
jnombrrs of Iho Amalgamated association;
tho fucts aro that tho laborers wero not
victorious, tiecnnso of tlm treachery and
Xalluro of organized labor to do its duty.
Cliuruo llrrrpllon mill Opinl Hon.
"The Amalgamated aHoclatlon expected
tho friendship of othor federations. It re
ceived nothing but deception and opposi
tion. It la n question If the Amalgamated
organization would have entered tho con
test under tho circumstances If It wero uot
for tho promises nut do and relied upon from
tho members of the American Federation
of Labor to assist them for what they be
lieved to be rlRht.
"DurlnK th last great strlko of tho coal
jnlnrrii and thoso atllltated with thorn tho
public, tlm Knights of Ijibor and other In
dependent labor organizations contributed
Mom to tho financial nld and success of thn
miners than tho federation, yet the federa
tion received the credit and In return It at
tempts to disrupt other organization!; bet
tot thin Itir'dWn, ' -t -- '
"In the lato Hteel strike members con
nected with tho American federation of
Labor, after thoir local organizations re
fused to contribute to the eteel workers,
solicited money from Independent labor or
ganizations for tho purpose of helping the
Amalgamated association, which wan af
filiated with them. If they had secured any
money or If the steel strlko had been won
by tho workers the federation would havo
claimed tho credit.
Kcilrrlltloii Han II Opportunity.
"The olllcers and members of this great
Federation of I.ubor had tho opportunity of
their lives to dnmonatrato what they, with
their great numbers, could do; but through
fear of their organization or tho Influence
brought to bear on some of them they failed
to provo themselves worthy of tho name of
organized labor.
"Any constitution or law that prevents
or opposes tho helping uf organized labor
ilnanctully when In need had hotter bo
wiped out. Tho leaders of the American
Kedoratlon of Labor did not want President
Shaffer or bis organization to win, because
It might have given that organization ami
Tresldent Shaffer some prestlgo and promt
pence. The largest political organization
today la tho Federation of Labor, using
tho namo of labor for the purposo of ad
vancing a fow men politically to tho great
Injury of tho many. Any labor orgnnlza
tlon that advances or bonoflts tho wage-
enrnnr should bo encouraged, but such n
political organization using the working
rion for a blind should bo known by Its
truo namo nnd reputation.
"In Iho city of Pittsburgh the greatest
industrial city of the world, organized labor
lias heen working In harmony, accomplish
lng some good In Its Labor league, where
nil organizations are welcome as members,
regardless of whom they may bo affiliated
with, until a fow months ago, when tho
paid organizers and tho national ofllcers
of the federation started a movement to
disrupt tho Labor League of WcsUtrn Pcun
pylvanla. which has existed for somo years.
Thoy make a special attack on the Knights
of Labor, and without any good reason
TblR movoment of theirs, llko somo of their
others actions, will react against them.
Trust Tlrniuiid Trenlinent.
"The great combinations of capital known
M 'truets' should rocelvo tho careful con
sideration of all wage-workers, .tha mer
chant, business man and particularly tho
voter. The argument mado that they are a
benefit financially to tho wage-worker Is
denied by many, and I ngreo with those
rho nay that they aro injurious, and will
grow moro so bk they grow older.
"There aro a fow combinations that nrr
better and more favorablo to workers than
others, but tho reasons uro because of tho
conditions exlstlug la a fow trades that do
rot exist In many others, If combinations
or trusts wero formed for tho purposo of
eecurlns a fair return on the actual amount
of capital Invested, and uot to deprecloto
, tho number of employes, lower wages and
opporai Inbor, then they might bo consid
ered a benefit to the wage-worker.
"The government that grants thorn fran
chises and charters should restrict and
control them and the peoplo should control
both tho government and the trust, which
tbey do not do at the present time. Ho
fore tho election the voters are, the peoplo
nnd tho government; after the election tho
politicians aro the government, people, Judi
ciary nnd nil.
"Some arguo that trusts und combina
tions cheapen tho product to tho consumer
and in somo cases pay good wages to their
employes. This may be true, but that does

It Is not cheap products and cheap living the

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14. (Special Tele
gram.) Ileclproclty with Cuba that will
admit sugar from that Island to this coun
try nt low" tariff rates will bo vigorously
fought during tho coming session of con
gress. HaVallan citizens had an Inter
view with the president today, during which
they said the sugar Interests of Hawaii
were unalterably opposed to Cuban sugar
coming Into tho Lulled States nt tariff
rates lower than at present. They told
tho president they wero united with tho
beet sugar growers In fighting reciprocity
for Cuba. Many Influences will bo at work
during the approaching session of con
gress having a direct bearing on the sugar
question. The beet migar people, with
Henry T. Oxnard at their head, say that
the Ueet Sugar company lias a right to
manufacture thu raw material nnd turn it
out direct to tho consumer without passing
It through the hands of tho Sugar trust.
Mr. Oxnard, who is In Washington looking
ftrr the Interests of tho beet sugar growers
and who will watch the proceedings of the
reciprocity convention In this city next
week, charges tho Sugar trust with having
gone into the beet sugar territory and cut
the price of sugar In an unfair wav. Tho
American Ueet Sugar company had to meet
his cut, which is claimed to bo from 1
ent to 114 cents under the prices at sea-
ioard, thereby causing great loss to beet
sugar growers, He further charges tho
rust with covertly desiring free sugar from
Tuba and he liua announced his Intention of
fighting reciprocity with Cuba as strongly
as he known how.

sued In 1SSS lu payment to the Union Pa
cific for property taken from that company
for tho opening of Twenty-ninth avenue
from Leavenworth to Farnam streets.
Tho Union Pacific company ngrees:
First To extend tho big main hewer run
ning along Izard street from Eleventh to
Eighth streets, or through Its grounds, nt
tho expeuso of tho railroad.
Second To allow tho city sowago right-of-way
privileges In the southern part of
the city from Twenty-fourth street east to
tho river along tho Union Pacific trackage.
Coneeliiii" .SIimv to Come.
Union Pacific officials have been extremely
reluctant In allowing some of tho demands
made by the city In connection with this
transfer of property. They wero of the
opinion that, considering what thoy wero
bringing to tho city of Omaha, tho latter
should be glad to give thorn all tho land
they asked without demanding anything In
return.
This position did not In any respect coin
cide with tho opinions of Mr. Connell and
Mr. Rosewater. The latter maintained that
thero was u great deal coming to Omaha
and each one proceeded to out lino what
concession they thought should bo secured
In their respective departments.
Tho two engineering stipulations de
manded by Mr. Rosewater uro considered
of great Importance. The extension of tho
Izard street sewer is alono a matter of
great moment, as that will allow on outlet
to tho river. Mr. Rosewaters first Idea
was that tho railroad compnny should build
tho wholo thing clear to tho banks and con
struct tho outlet us well.
Tho Union Pacific men would not hear to
this, however, and It was only aftor long
discussion that they consented to carry tho
sewer through their territory to Eighth
street. This will leave tho end only two
blocks from tho river by direct route, and
If this path can bo taken tho completion
will bo a small matter comparatively.
However, tho old Burt street pumping
station and city water reservoir are- located
along that lino and unless all use ot this Is
stopped tho eower will of necessity bo led
down south along Eighth street to n point
somo blocks distant, whero It will bo again
turned toward tho river.
Mr. Rosowator, howovcr, says that use
of tho Burt stroet reservoir ehould stop,
and In that caso he can run tho sewer dl
rectly In, saving several blocks of construe
tlon nnd two' turns.
The other engineering stipulation looks
entirely to the future. Mr. Rosowator says
It Is plain that somo day somo steps will
havo to bo taken toward relieving tho low
south end of town ot tbo floods which nil
big rains bring along Twenty-second and
Twenty-third and Twenty-first streets. A
sower ditch drain outlot to tbo river would
bo the thing and tho easiest courso for this
would be along tho railroad tracks. It is
this right of way, to bo taken advantage ot
possibly years hence, that Mr. Rosewater
secured.

Practically no additional news was ob

The Mail und Expects said of the na
tion: "In t.omc way, not yot niacin known,
it Is believed that tho tihlcaRO ft.Norlb
western and Chicago, Mllwuukco & St.
Paul railroads arc to bo Included In tha
present deal, or it subsequent ono, whereby
ill of the western railroads will bo welded
together In u harmonious community of In
terest, which shall prevent tho demoraliza
tion of rates and prevent tho contest for
control, such as occurred last summer.
"It Is further said that tho territory
west of Chicago Is to be. divided In such
a way tbat competition will bo in n great.
measure divided on wholesomo lines, and
thero will bo a largo incrcabo In net earn
ings for all concerned.
"Thero wero suggestions of a way to take
In tho Union Pacific, Northwestern and
St. Paul roads, but It Is declared to bo too
early to glvo liny details about theho
schemes. Tho notion that theso railroads are
to bo controlled by tho Northern Securities
compnny was generally dlncredltcd. for tho
reason. If no other, that it further In
crease In tho eolnuhal aggregation ot enp
ltal might encnuragn adverse legislation.
'The question thnt most Interested tho
financial community today lu connection
with tho big combination wns how much
cash would bo required to put through the
scheme, and whether tho money market
would be deserted nt a tlmo when tho sur
plus nf tho local banks Is nt a low level.
"Financiers who arc Interested In thn
situation dispelled nil doubt on this sub
ject by declurlng that tho underwriting
syndicate would have llttlo to do, ono
