BITS OF WOMEN Appeal Before Federation Labor Is Applauded.. of FIGHT FOR EIGHT-HOUR LAW Executive Council Declares for En forcement of Chinese Exclusion . and the Abolition of. Compe titive Convict Labor. . PITTSBURG, Nov. 14. A determined stand was taken for the enforcement to the letter of the Chinese exclusion laws ot the country, the localizing of the, eight-, hour -workday In all work of "the Govern ment, the abolition ot convict labor where It competes with union manufactured goods, and the renewal of the agitation for the abolition of the injunction laws of the country by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor in lis annual report, which was Hubmlttod at today's session of t.hc convention In the old City Hall. The 'report was unan imous and corisumed the greater part of the proceedings. The council voiced the sentiments of the organization as being opposed to the pres ent immigration laws as applied to all classes of labor. An investigation was asked of the Government of the many re ports and rumors of assisted immigration. The report took the National Administra tion to task for its failure to enforce the eight-hour law in all Government work and a plea was made for every state fed eration organization immediately to in stitute a campaign for the establishment In their respective . states of the eight hour law. A popular chord was struck when First Vice-President James Duncan, who was reading the report, made a ringing appeal for equal rights in all elections for wom en The report .cited -the four states In the Union which now grant equal rights to women, and predicted the purification of the ballot when universal suffrage was granted. In the matter .of a change In the system of electing jiU officials of the state "and National Government, the council went into detail In explaining the workings of the initiative and "referendum system of popular election of all officials. The seating of C. P. Shea, president of the Teamsters' Union of Chicago, as a delegate today is looked upon by the In ternational Association of Steam Cutters as a big card for-them in their fight for a federation charter, as Snca, 'who has been joined h'y.rothor delegates, will" help them in the convention. The second dayte session of the Ameri can Federation of Liibor Convention was rapped to order promptly at S o'clock by President Gornpors. "He called John Mitch ell, second vlco-pj resident, to the chair and Jamos Duncan, first vice-president, read the annual report of the executive" council. The coppersmiths onade application for a charter, but It was "denied, and the organization was urged to afflllato with the Amalgamated Sheet Metal workers' Alliance. Arrangements have been made for the consolidation of the two organizations. .There aro a large number of organizations not, now affil iated with the federation, "and the .Ex ecutive Council tircres that additional efforts be made to brJrighom Into the federation. It is recommended that unions establish funds and insist on higher dues. In the matter of. the protection of cnildren, the Executive Council had bills introduced In the Legislature of many states prohibiting the employ ment of children In mills, factories, mines and industrial establishments. Progress made during the year was not entirely satisfactory and President Gompbrs was authorized to enlist the assistance of other organizations in se curing the passage of legislation in all states prohibiting the employment of child labor. It was decided that in the future the Executive Council shalj not interfere in disputes between labor organizations unless the unions involved have -ex hausted all moans to bring about an adjustment of the differences. An assessment of one cent a mom ber for a. period of four weeks was levied on the entire membership of the federation for the benefit of the Inter national Typographical Union in Its ef forts to establish an eight-hour work day in the job and commercial print ing establishments In the United States and Canada. The Typographical Union has levied a substantial assessment for that purpose and all organizations are urged to render all the assistance pos sible to the printers In their efforts to establish the cightihour day by Janu ary 1.' 390G. The question of Immigration was given consideration by the executive committee. It was shown that over 1,000,000 foreigners jeached. these shores last year, and that there would be no decrease In the num ber this year. It was urged that efforts be made to organize this foreign clement, as the low wages for which they now work are -not only insufficient, but have a bad effect on all American tollers. Tlie auditing committee's roport showed that the federation Is in a good condition, and that the report of Treasurer Lcnnon was correct- The American Federation of Musicians offered a resolution, which was adopted, thanking the labor unions of San Fran cisco lor supporting Mayor Schmlt" against the enemies, of organized labor. A telegranvwas- ordered .sent to Mayor Schmltz informing him of the ' action takciu- The. committee on credentials recom mended; that all the delegates of the union delinquent of the assessment levied by the Federation of Iabor for the benefit of the striking New England Textile Work ers beyseated, as they had made satisfac tory arrangements with the secretary.

Kept duplicate books EXTI2IIPRISE BANK PRESERVED PROOF OF FRAUDS. Great Aid' In TraclBR Crime, for Which Prosecution "Will Soon Be Opeaed. PITTSBURG, Nov. 14. If the latest report concorning the Enterprise Bok Is true, Receiver Cunningham Is In pos session of a duplicate set of books kept by persons in the bank betweon August 25 last, when Federal examination was made, and the day the bank closed its door. This Information comes from one of the directors, who appeared to be surprised that no mention had beon previously made of this incident In the examination of the bank's accounts. The finding of the books was several days subsequent to the suicide of Cash ier Clark, and a perusal of thorn has been of Invaluable assistance in trac ing to thelrourcc many of the fraudu lent financial transactions that wrought the wreck of the bank. It Is said Ex aminer Moxey carried with him to "Washington a complete copy of those accounts, and upon them the Fedoral Government will base its criminal suits. Just who will be hit by the contem plated action is a matter of conjecture. The presumption is that Clark had not sole knowledge of these books and was not the only person who made entries In them. It is known that certain om ployes have been compelled- to secure notos and make real estate transfers to make good loans from the bank. E. P. Moore, the spocial Government examiner, will arrive from Washington Thursday morning, and then It Is ex pected crlmlnul proceedings will be In stituted against certain persons in con nection with the failure.

Mr. Jlyde said, Mr. Harriman Instigated It, and explained It was to be a holding syn dicate for five years. It was understood this was for the purpose of controlling the Union Pacific Mr. Hyde signed the syndicate agreement at Mr. Harriman's suggestion, and talked only with Mr. Har riman on the subject. The executive com mittee was not Informed ot this opera tion, as Mr. Hyde said that Mr. Alexan der did not think it necessary, and that Mr. Harriman requested 'that the com mittee be not informed of it. Ho said that Mr. Harriman even refused, to give a statement of the purposes of the pool to the Supcrintondont of Insurance when he was "clamoring for it" last Spring. Odcll's .Shipbuilding Deal. Eclipsing all this sensational testimony, howevor. were the statements of Mr. Hyde concerning ox-Govcrnor Odell and Mr. Harriman relative to the sctlloment of the Shipbuilding Company's suit by the Mercantile Trust Company. Mr. Hyde said that Mr. Harriman came to him and advised the settlement of Odell's suit, as he feared that powerful influences at Al bany would be Invoked in retaliatory measures. Mr. Harriman suggested . as one of these measures the revocation of the charter of the Mercantile Trust Com pany. Mr. Hydo knew of no actual steps that were taken nor of any bill that was introduced, but he- was beset with rumors that stops were about to be taken by leg islation. The Equitable Life,' he said, was not interested beyond the connection it had with the Mercantile Trust Com pany. Mr. Hyde was undor the Impression that the Mercantile in' settlements retained the bonds and paid Mr. Odoll abouf. ?7S,0. The original claim of Odoll was about J1SO.O0O. The bonds subsequently notted about 50 cents on the dollar. Mr. Hyde said Mr. Harriman suggested the settle ment of the suit and that the counsel and members of the executive committee of Mercantile Trust advised it, and he rec ommended It Prick and ilarriman Conspire. Charges of conspiracy to get him out of the country wore mado by Mr. Hyde against Henry C. Frick and B. H. Har riman in connection with the reported as pirations of Mr. Hyde to become Ambas sador to France. He said Mr. Frick in spired the idea, and witness took it as a Joke at first, but, when Mr. Frick brought it up later. Mr. Hyde was flattered, and both Mr. Harriman and Mr. Frick prom ised to use their Influence to secure the appointment. Again Mr. Hyde waxed bit ter In his explanation of the extraordinary Interest these gcntlemon had in his ab sence from the country. He said he thought their idea was that "they would acquit themselves of their friendly stew ardship with great profit tp themselves," and added that tho nature of their In terest had Blnce become very obvious. Mr. Hyde charged Mr. Frick with broach of faith in leading him to be lieve that tho Frick committee was "friendly" to him and with doing all ." j he could to dissuade witness from aoll . j ing hte stock, "at thcsame time," Mr. Hyde said, "doing everything on that committee he could to knife rac and destroy the value of that stock." Mr. Hydc explained that he used "friendly" In the Just sense of the word and that. if there was anything for which ho could be criticised, ho was willing to take whatever criticism came. Mr. Hyde said he did not think the roport was at all fair and that the committee posed as his friends, while he was being at tacked on the other side by Mr. Alex ander and his friends under the sham of mutuallzation. Mr. Harriman, he said, asked him to move the adoption of the Frick report at the meeting of tho board, but Mr. Hyde said he abso lutely. doclined, as It was condemnatory of everything that had ever transpired in tho society and he was advised by counsel that such a step would throw the Equitable into the hands of a re ceiver. Mr. Hyde was excused until tomor row when his examination will be re sumed. The flr&t witness called was John McGulnncss, employed by" the Equitable Life, and the reading of orders of T. D. Jordan to A. C. Fields relative to bills Introduced In the Legislature at Albany was continued. Steps From Harvard Into Office. Mr. Hyde was tho next witness. He tes tified that he was 29 years of age, and became second vice-president ot the Equitable one month after graduating from Harvard. He had always been brought up to believe his life work was to be the legitimate successor of his father. the founder of the Equitable. Ho had traveled and studied with that object in view. His father had instilled In him his views on life Insurance He was a dlrec tor of tho company two years before he graduated. From his earliest youth he had lived in a life Insurance atmosphere, expecting to make it his life work. During- his father's illness James W. Alexander turned over to him, little by little, matters ot detail. He did not receive a -salary upon his first connection with the company. He was offered a salary, but declined. The president and- various members of the executive committee then suggested that as he had qualified himself by two years' work he should have a salary, and Presi dent Alexander, In 1900, fixed it at $39,090. Mr. Alexander asked if this .was agree able to him (Hyde). In 1902 General Louis Fitzgerald re signed as chairman of the finance com mute, and Mr. Hyde was appointed to the chairmanship. For the added respon sibilities falling on Mr. Hyde his salary was advanced to 73,000. His duties con stantly increased In the various depart ments, and In -1903 his salary was made $100,093. at wnicn it remained until his resignation last Spring. The witness never spoke to any officers or members"' of the executive committee or in any way suggested an increase in "his salary. Could Not Get It Elsewhere. Mr. Hyde was asked If he was willing to erve the company at $75,03) salary. and he replied that he was. and he caused a laugh by remarking that "he did not think he could set It anywhere else." A lift of Mr. Hyde's directorships, also his personal stockholdings In companies in which the Equitable was Interested was presented and Introduced as evidence. Mr. Hughes said it was not his purpose to go over the matter covered by Super intendent Hendricks" report. Mr. Hyde was asked if money could be obtained on his voucher without its coming under the notice of any other officer. The witness said it could be done, and this method was put into cf J fect by an order of the president. In Dark AboHt Squire Deal. Mr. .Hyde-knewonly by hearsay of the Xueorxc H. Sauiro trustee account. Xb syndicate to float the $50,090,001) Interna tional Mercantile Marine Company was the syndicate In which Mr. Alexander asked Mr. Hyde to give G. H. Squire, trustee, a participation from the share of "J. H. Hyde and associates." His attention as vice-president of the Equitable Trust Company was never called to the Squire account. Ho did not know of what Mr. Squire was trustee, and never Inquired why Mr. Alexander wanted him to give Georgo H. Squire, trustee., a participation. Mr. Hyde said ho received a salary of $5090 when he became vice-president ot the Equitable Trust Company, and in 1303 this was ad vanced to $12,000. Of the-Intemational Mercantile Marine Syndicate, $2uO,(XVj was allotted to George H. Squire, trustee, by J. H. Hyde and associates. When Mr. Hyde made calls on the Squire account, the amount was borrowed from the Equitable Trust Company, but Mr. Hyde said he did not know about this. His curiosity as to the Squire ac count was not aroused when he was asked to make the allotment, but hs has since learned that it was the purpose to apply the pruflts of this account to the payment of the $553,000 loan account, o which J. "W. Alexander and Thomas D. Jordan were trustees. Instead of profits there was a loss. Mr. Hughes said that matter would be taken up later. Mr. Hyde was asked where W. H. Mc Intyre. former fourth vice-president of the Equitable, was, and he replied that he had seen by tho newspapers that he was In Boston. Mr. Hyde wrote him a letter there to the Hotel Touraine about a month ago. Ho Helled on Others. Asked in connection with the Squire account if he did not inquire where the moneys of the Equitable Life went, Mr. Hi-do said that that was an illustration to show that ho was unfortunato In rely ing on others he thought would do right. In reply to Mr. Hughes, witness said ho had never consulted with Mr. Jordan in executivo matters, and that while he was interested in water rights for fish ing purposes he was not a fisherman, and none of the bills mentioned In Mr. Field's instructions were of personal Interest to him in any way. Mr. Hyde knew noth ing of a large part of the $6S5,0OQ loan going to the Equitable Life to pay for cash items drawn by Mr. Jordan. He knew nothing of the whereabouts of Mr. Jordan, and added, "not even the enter prising American newspaper knows where he Is." Did Not Know Equitable Paid. Mr. Hydc resumed his testimony after the recess, continuing his explanation ot syndicate transactions. One participation of the Equitable Life Insurance In the Chicago. Burlington & Qulncy for $1,500. 0M In 1501, he said, was divided with George H. Squire and associates. He did not know that tho Equitable Life was paying calls made by the syndicate until recently. The' reason ho did not know was because he was cither abroad or ab sent from the city. Mr. Hyde said the calls of J. P. Morgan & Co. on this syn dicate were made on G. II. Squire and as sociates and J. H. Hyde and associates. He was shown copies of the first and sec ond calls directed by the Equitable Life and thon said his memory must have been at fault. He had no fact that en abled him to say that J. P. Morgan & Co. knew of the division of the Equitable Life allotment other than the usages and customs of "Wall Street. , Hard to Get an Answer. Mr. Hydo was asked if. when ho took the allotment of the Equitable In the Chl cago.Burllngton & Qulncy syndicate, he believed it would be profitable. His reply that he hoped it would be was not satis factory to Mr. Hughes and the question was repeated several times. Mr. Hyde Just as oftcui made the same reply and finally Mr. Hughes requested Senator Armstrong, the chairman of the Investi gating committee, to direct the witness to give a more definite answer. "When Senator Armstrong instructed the witness as requested, Mr. Hyde said that he was answering to the beat of his ability. Finally, however, he changed hi answer to "hoped and believed it would be profit able." This satisfied Mr. Hushes, and he proceeded. "When the profits came In the witness said In reply to further questions, they were divided with G. H. Squire and as sociates. Personally, he knew of no other Instances wherein allotment of syndicate participations to the Equitable wcro divid ed among its executive officers who re ceived part ot the profits that might Just as well have gone to the Equitable. ADMITS HE GOT THE MONEY Odell Says Equitable Came to Him. Harriman AVill Tell All. NEW YORK. Nov. 14. Ex-Govcrnor Odell was asked tonight about the statements made on tho stand by James H. Hyde that he had been paid by the Mercantile Trust Company $75,000 to mnjte up bis shipbuilding losses. Mr. Odell said he did not care to give any formal statement until he could pre pare it carefully. "When the roporters repeated to hlra Mr. Hyae's assertion that he had received $75,000 because he might take away the charter of the Mercantile Trust Company, Mr. Odell replied: "Well, they paid Kavanaugh, didn't they, and Mrs. Wood and other ship building bondholders? They paid me. Just like they paid others." "Is it true, as Mr. Hyde testifies, that Mr. Harriman went to hlra and repre sented that you were a very powerful person, and 'that the money ought to be paid to. you for fear of retaliatory measures? " "Well. Mr. Harriman will answer that on the stand," said the ex-Governor; and then added: -But it's not true they came to me; I did not go to them. I had sold my bonds long- before this settlement, and,' what Is more, I sold them at 2S and you can figure out for yourself what I got for them. They cost me originally $169,000. and, to give you the exact sum that they brought me, I got $48,000 for them. That was long before I was paid the $75,000. "I'm ready at any time to go on the stand and testify, and I am ready now. I'll give the entire history of the trans actions." Force Returns for Trial. MINNEAPOLIS. Nov. 14. Dr. J. F.

CUTS OUT MUCH TROUBLE Groups Work of Assistants in Such 3Innner That Division of Au thority Is Avoided and Much Work Saved WASHINGTON. Nov. U. Postmaster General Cortelyou today issued an or- oer of far-reaching Importance, redls trlbut'ng the duties ot the four Assist ant Postmasters-General and affecting tho entire postal system. Tho order will carry Into effect on December 1 a plan of the Pcstmaster-Gencral to con solldate the work ot grouping under one bureau all related subjects. The result will be to place under the Post- mnster-Genvrars personal supervision tho direction of th postal service; un der the first assistant the postoffice personnel and management: under the second assistant all matters relating-to the transportation of the malls; under tho third assistant all matters of postal finance, and under the fourth assistant the rural free delivery and miscella neous postal service. By taking the division of appointment the division of bonds and commissions and the division ot city delivery from the fourth assistant and giving them to the first assistant, the latter official will have under his Immediate supervision the entire personnel of the postofilces throughout the country. Including Post masters. Assistant Postmasters, clerk? and carriers (except rural carriers) and a great deal of needless correspondence betweon the two bureaus with r!ous de lays In action arising from a division of authority will bo avoided. The office ot Second Assistant Post mastcr-Genoral will continue to have charge of the transportation of mails and, while its rivlslon organigation Is not affected, the transfer to the First Assist ant Pose master-General of the control of the movement ot the malls within the Jurisdiction of the larger postofficcs Is contemplated under the order, me office of the third assistant Is affected by the transfer to It of the dlvlson of money orders from the office ot the first assist ant. The third assistant already has the stamp division, the registry division and the division of nostal finance and the addition ot the money order division will bring the phlnclpal revenue-producing branches of the department under one head. The division of files and records in this office is abolished, and its per sonnel and work is assigned to. the chief clerk of the bureau, making his duty conform to those of similar positions in the other bureaus. While the office of the Fourth Asstet- ont Postmaster-General has had taken from it the preparation of cases for the appointment of Postmasters, It gains In having transferred to it tho division of dead letters1, division of postoffice supplies and the topographer's office. It will con tinue to have the rural free dellcery service, the growth of which In recent years has been phenomenal, and it Is here that much can be done in the direction of Improved service and economies of administration. Being relieved of the lm- mer.so task of the'appointment and bortd- Insr of Postmasters and the supervision of the cty free delivery service, the fourth assistant can devote a larger share ot attention to this newest, and in some respects most important branch of the pistal service. The Chief Postoffice Inspector, in addi tion to tho supervision of the Inspectors, will hereafter have charge ot the rural agents, who, as member ot the investiga ting forces of the department, can, with great advantage, be assigned to the di vision of Inspectors. The division of supplies is bcinfl re-or ganized and enlarged so as to embrace practically all of the supplly work of the department. Bargain In Irrigation Works. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. A nonpar tisan delegation from New Mexico call ed on the President to discuss with him the proposed sale to the Government of an Irrigation project which has been built to Irrigate the Pecos Valley.

MOTHER'S TiO"VE. Wbt h Mare Btasiifvl tlus a Matter's Lave ? " Who ran to help roe when I fell And would some pretty story tell. Or kiss the place to make It well. My mother." A mother's worries are many. She sometimes forgets her own bodily dis comforts because of her "overpowering love for the child. She becomes broken down, sleepless, nervous, irritable and feels tired from morning until night. Many mothers of experience can tell you that at such a time they have been re lieved, benefited and strengthened and put into proper health by taking a pre scription which their mothers had told them was the best woman's tonic and nervine to be taken at such times. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has en jojed an enviable reputation for over a third of a century. In all that time it has sold more largely in the United States than any other tonic for woman's needs, and to-day its sales are greater than ever. Dr. Pierce made up this prescription from native medicinal roots without the use of a particle of alcohol and for the single purpose of curing those diseases peculiar to women and when there is a lack of womanly strength, to bear the burdens of maternal duty. Hott few women come to this critical time with adequate strength. The reason why so many women sink under the strain of motherhood is be cause they are unprepared. Is pre paration 'then required for mother hood? asks the young woman. And every experienced mother answera ""ies."

The rea son for this advice is that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best pre parative for the maternal function. No matter how healthy and strong a woman may be, she cannot use "Favorite Pre scription " as a preparative for ma ternity without gain of health and comfort.

"Good actions speak louder than irords," so, too does the testimony of many thousands of women during a third of a century speak louder than mere claims not backed by any such record of cures. Miss Emma Petty, 1126 S. Olive Street, Indianapolis, Ind.,Past Vice-President, Daughters of Pocahontas, Minneola Council, also Organist, South Baptist Church, Indianapolis, writes: "For sev eral years I suffered with leucorrhcea, which was a serious drain on my vitality, sannincr mv strength and causmtr severe headaches, bearing-down pains and a general worn-out feeling, until I really had no desire to live. I had many medicines recommended to me and tried many, but did not get permanent relief until I took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription. In two months I was much better and stronger, and in four months I was well. Have had no more disagree able discharge, no more pain; so I nave every reason to praise 'Favorite Pre suppressed, has. on the contrary, taken on a decidedly serious aspect. The State DeDartmcnt finds It vet-- dif ficult to deal with this phase of the boy cott, lor the reason that It exists not In China proper, but in a British dependency which can scarcely be called to as was the Chinese government by Min ister iiockniu.

All the mgren:enis entering into Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription are printed in plain English on each bottle wrapper, ur. nerce inereoy snows mat he is not afraid to tell his patients just what this medicine is made of. This is not true of any other medicine espe- ciallv designed for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments. This "Prescription " is also the only woman's medicine sold through druggists that does not con tain a large percentage of alcohol; it contains not a drop. As an indication of the high esteem in which the medical profession are coming to regard the several ingredi ents of which Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription, fof weak and ailing women is composed, we have room here to in sert only the following: Dr. John Fvfe, of Saugatuck, Conn., Editor of the Department of Therapeu tics in The Electric Review says of Unicorn root (Hclonias Dioica) one of the chief ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription: "A remedy which invariably acts as a uterine invigorator and always favors a condition which makes for normal activity of the entire reproductive svstem, cannot fail to be of great usefulness .and of the utmost importance to the general practitioner of medicine." "In Helonias we have a medicament which more fully answers the above purposes than any other drug with tchieh J am acquainted. In the treat ment of diseases peculiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which docs not present some indication for this remedial agent." "The following are among the lead ing indications for Helonias: Pain or aching in the backj with leucorrhcea; atonic (weak) conditions of the repro ductive organs of women, mental de pression and irritability, associated with chronic diseases of the reproduc tive organs of women, constant sensa tion of heat in the region of the kidneys: menorrhagia, ("flooding") due to a weakened condition of the reproductive system; amenorrhea, arising from or accompanying an abnormal condition of the digestive organs and an anaemic (thin blood) habit; dragging sensations in the extreme lower part of the abdo men." If more or less of the above symp toms are present, no invalid women can do better than take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, one of the leading ingredients of which is Unicorn root, or Helonias.
