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

District Attorney Dunkle. who will
prosecute the guilty parties, does not
tjeny that there are persons under sus

names.

for the convenience of bankers.
Hnrrlman's Blind Pool.
Of the J3O.O0O.to0 Union Pacific pool. 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.

of authority will bo avoided.

charge of the transportation of mails
and, while its rivlslon organigation Is not
affected, the transfer to the First Assist

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-

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. The
dam and its contingent system were
constructed by private individuals at a
cost of $750,000. Last Spring a flood
carried away a part of the dam and left
the reservoir practically dry. The
farms, orchards and gardens, which
were irrigated by the system, are
threatened with total destruction unless
the dam Is rebuilt. The delegation
proposes to sell the entire plant to the
Government for $150,000. The Presi
dent promised to give full consideration
to the proposition.

A. 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." RI unhesitatingly advise ex
pectant mothers to use Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription." writes Mrs. J.
V. G. Stephens, of Mila, Va. 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. But it is the women who are
not strong who best appreciate the great
benefits received from the use of "Fa
vorite Prescription." For one thing its
use makes the baby's advent practically
Sainlees. It has in manv cases reduced
ays of suffering to a brief few hours.
It has changed the period of anxiety
and struggle into a time of ease ana
comfort.
A DUTY WOMEN OWE THEMSELVES.
"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. The only feasible course
appears to be to request the Chinese gov
ernment to use its moral Influence with
Chinese subjects outside of China to de
sist irom rurther attack upon American
trade.

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.
