HAVE UNIONS ON BOTH SIDE Independent Leader Would Reward Law-abiding Corporations, but P.unish Lawbreakers With Pris on Sentence Like Others. NORFOLK, Sept. 2 William Randolph Hearst, of New York, and Samuel Gompers, president of the American, Fed eration of Labor, . were the principal speakers at today's great Labor day cel ebration at the Jamestown Exposition. The weather was clear and thousands of people from all parts of Virginia, to gether with several thousand here for the opening of the grand aerie of Eagles tomorrow, attended. The exercises were held at the reviewing stand on the Lee parade grounds. Mr. Hearst arrived this morning from San Francisco, accompanied by 1 Mrs. Hearst. They proceeded to the exposition grounds with Mr. and Mrs. Gompers. When Introduced by President Tucker of ths Exposition, Mr. Hearst was given an ovation. He said in part: No Reason for Class Hatred. Labor Day should rank with the Fourth ef July as a characteristic American Holi day. In this country there is no forking elans but every man worthy of the name Is a working man. I have no patience with the prejudices which exist between alleged .clashes, when the classes themselves do not . really exist. There Is no reason for hos tility between employer and employe; be tween capitalist and wage-earner. Capital Is but accumulation of wealth. Wages are but the division of profits. Both employer and employe are entitled to their share of the profits and. as long as the division Is Just and equitable, there Is no occasion for conflict. If the division is not Just, It can always be made so by arbitration and there Is still no occasion for conflict. A condi tion of class hatred, such as has developed In Colorado. Is a curse to this country. There should be no prejudice entertained by the capitalist toward the laborer and there ' should be no prejudice by the laborer to ward the capitalist. There should be an appreciation of the essential part which each plays In the creation of wealth. And now, my friends. In the creation of wealth and the equitable distribution of wealth, not only Is co-operation necessary, but organisation Is necessary. Labor un ions are valuable not only to their own membership, but to the whole community. Farmers' unions are valuable not .only to their own membership, but to the whole community. And honest, law-abiding or ganizations of capital are valuable, not only to their own stockholders, but to the whole community. Corruption by Corporations. Their effectiveness as combinations of - . capital Is seen in their enormous power for good and their" menace lies in the misuse of that enormous power for evil. There Is no -greater danger to our form of govern ment, to our popular rights and our publlo - morals, than ths corrupt use of the Gov ernment power, by corporate wealth. ' You hear much today of how -a Mayor of San Francisco has fallen, but you hear little of how powerful public service corporations terrpted a wretched human being with great wealth and brought a once respected man to ruin and disgrace. While It Is the fash ion to criticise San Francisco Just now, I venture to assert that the only difference between San Francisco and some other cities Is that San Francisco Is punishing her cor ruptionlsts. There Is .many an official else- - where who has stolen office or dealt In public property, who would fare like Schmltz, If there were more honest and fearless District Attorneys like Union La bor Langdon. 1 Reward Good, Punish Bad. Let us recognise and reward the good which honest corporations accomplish, but let us with equal Justice condemn and punish the evil which corruption in corpor ations spreads. Let us govern our corpora- as we TtKe la make all Impartially obedient to the laws. Let us give everv opportunity to legitimate enterprise, but let us enforce the prison penalty against powerful criminals as we do against the weak and helpless. Let us go forward and not back; let us organise, since the faculty of organization Is the measure of Intellectual development, but let us proceed with due regard for each other's rights, with consideration of each others rights and with consideration of each other's services, with appreciation of each other's value. Let us organize unions of labor, unions of farmers, unions of cap ital, and let us conduct them, not narrowly and selfishly, but broadly and liberally for our own best Interests and for the public Interest as well. Let' us combat 'organiza tion that operates for evil with- organiza tion that operates for good. Let us or ganize a union of all good citizens to pre serve our Government as patriots founded It. to conduct It Impartially for the benelit of all and to perpetuate for our children the Independence, equality and opportunity which our fathers with devotion, sacrifice and heroism won for us. Hons as we do our individual citizens. Let us mvke laws impartial for all and then TWO PARADES AT GOLDEN GATE Vnkn Men Turn Out to Hear Talks and Have Sports. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2. Labor Day In San Francisco was observed with more than usual enthusiasm. The weather was perfect and work of all . kinds was suspended, while almost the entire populace flocked to the center . of th city and Golden Gate Park, either to view or participate In two great parades, which constituted the chief features of the celebration. San Francisco Labor Council and Its 105 affiliated unions assembled near the park panhandle and marched through the main driveway to the new stadium, where literary exercises and athletic sports occupied the greater part of the day. The oration of the day was delivered by ex-Congressman James G. Magulre. . Valuable prizes were offered to the winners of the various athletic events and were com- I peted for by many of the best ath letes on the Coast. The p-irade of organizations affili ated with tne Building Trades Council was headed by Grand Marshal P. H. McCarthy. After the parade dispersed the men and their families went across the bay to Shell Mound Park, where literary exercises were held. The only thing which occurred to mar the pleasure of the day was riot ing on Market street at the noon hour, during which several persons were hurt Chicago Has Xo Parade. CHICAGO. Sept. 2. For the first time since the Inauguration of Labor Day a great parade of unions was omitted. Several days ago the great organizations decided to abandon ths parade and devote to other 'uses the large amount of money which was formerly expended on It. Business houses and factories were generally closed. Haywood Speaks at Omaha. OMAHA, Sept. 2. W. D. Haywood, sec retary of the Western Federation of Miners, was the principal speaker at the labor picnic here today. NO KANSAS SALOON PPEN Abstinence Advocates Swarm to Ok lahoma to Fight Liquor. TOPEKA. Kan., Sept. 2. (Special.) For the first time since the Kansas pro hibitory law was enacted 25 years ago there is not an open saloon In the state. ) This is due to Attorney -General Jackson, i who has driven the agencies of a dozen breweries from the state, confiscated their property and collected heavy fines. He has gone, to Wichita, Leavenworth, Atchison and other cities and personally filed complaints against saloon-keepers and started injunction proceedings against owners of buildings in which these places have been run, thus driving all out of open business. At Atchison the saloon men have fitted up a Summer garden on an island in the middle of the Missouri River containing about two acres. The line between Mis souri and Kansas is the middle of the river and the title to this property 1s claimed by both states. Rowboats ply between the Kansas side and the Island carrying the thirsty to and from the gar den. Attorneys-General Jackson, of Kan sas, and Had ley, of Missouri, will hold a conference to see If something cannot be done to stop this evasion of the Kansas law. as It Is claimed that one-half the island is Kansas territory. Kansas temperance advocates are flock ing to Oklahoma to participate in the contest for prohibition in the new state that will be decided September 17, when the vote on the new constitution is taken. Kansas is sending scores of speakers there to help In the fight. An appeal to this state for help says that the liquor In terests from the Atlantic to the Pacific are centralizing their fight for control of the new state. Chief of Police Cranston, of Leaven worth, acting with a full understanding with Police Judge Taylor, is waging a strenuous war on men who refuse to sup port their wives. Recently many have been arrested and sent to the rockpile on the vagrancy charge, because they have frequented liquor resorts and per mitted their wives and children to sup port them. The two declare that they will show no mercy to any man who abuses his wife or wiio refuses to sup port her. SUICIDE TO AVOID ARREST Burglar Shoots Policeman, Is Cor nered and Shoots Himself. LYNDHURST. N. J.. Sept. 2. George Cassidy. a policeman, was shot down and killed early today, while endeavor ing to arrest two burglars who had been caught In the act of robbing a store. The burglars were then pursued by a crowd, and rather than submit to capture one of them killed himself in a swamp. The other burglar es caped. Cassidy had arrested the men and. started with his prisoners for the sta tion house, when one of them drew a revolver from his pocket and, pressing against Cassldy's coat, pulled the trig ger. Cassidy fell down and the two men ran away. The shooting aroused the neighborhood and the crowd guva chase. The burglars separated, one of them making for the Passaic River. When the crowd pressed too close, the buiglar turned and fired a fusillude of shots, but no one was hit. The burglar then ran Into the swamp, try ing" to find a place where he could swim the river, but the mud and slime dragged him down, and he became ex hausted in his efforts to escape. Realiz ing that he would be captured, he. used the last cartridge to shoot him self. He was dead when his pursuers reached him. CAR KNOCKS OUT .WAGON Mrs. . Olcott fcolt Fatally Injured.

The models for Autumn 1907 show decided changes from the lines for last Spring and the suits that were worn a year ago. The long coat seems to be much in favor, the Redingote, the three-quarter and the seven-eights length being among the new models we are showing. The ever popular Eton is strong as ever in the short jacket models, and is sure to be popular because of the opportunity it provides for elaborate trimming effects. Another short jacket suit that has already met with favor is the thirty-inch semi-fitting coat, in the tailored effect. The materials in these suits are velvets, in many shades, broadcloth in plain weave and chiffon finish, cheviots, serges and many patterns in fancy wool suitings.. ,Trim mings used are laces, Persian braids, silk braids, appliques, etc., on the Eton and trimmed models, and straps and pleats on the tailored styles.
