A
CANNON FLAYED
BY LABOR CHIEF
Gorppers Asserts Speaker Is
Worse Enemy of Reform
Than Rockefeller.
NARROW OLD POLITICIAN
Head of Labor Federation Invadea
Cannon's Home and Denounces
Him tor Appointing Labor
Committee Hostile to Labor.
DANVILLE, IlUSept. 7. (Special.)
If "Uncle Joe" Cannon listened hard
thia afternoon as he sat on the front
porch of hla home here, talking to old
neighbors and enjoying the beauty of
an early Fall day. his mind at rast and
his feet cocked with the same angle
s his black cigar, he might have heard
the applause of S6.000 labor men In
Lincoln Park, as they listened in evi
dent delight to a nice, brown roasting
administered to the venerable states
man by President ' Oompers. of the
American Federation of Labor. Among
the things Mr. Gompers said was this:
T'ncle Joe Cannon stands in this
country as the worst enemy of eco
nomic, social and political reform that
the people have."
Mr. Oompers read and Indorsed an
editorial which appears In the current
Issue of a weekly magailne. which de
clares that of the two evils menacing
this country Rockefeller and Cannon
the Speaker is the greater evil. The
Speaker was pictured by Mr. Oompers
as an obstructionist of the deepest,
most corporation-bound type.
Mr. Cannon was a hide-bound, nar
row, old politician who sees no good
In any reform, according to the labor
leader, who berated the people for go
ing "sheepllke" to the polls every elec
tion and sending this man to Congress.
He said:
'The committee on .labor In the
House of Representatives was created
by the demand of labor. The members
always are appointed with the idea of
shaping bills according to the needs of
labor. Under Mr. Cannon this commit
tee developed such hostility that I
asked htm to appoint another one com
posed of more sympathetic members.
He not only ignored my letter, but the
committee ho appointed was much more
antagonistic than the first one. Chair
man nardner was at one time brow
beaten by Cannon because he intro
duced a bill we wanted. A reeiana, a
henchman of the genial Uncle Joe, la
w rr-tlra.llv the chairman."
"Labor leaders have constantly ap-
.r.A In Concress asking for legislation
favorable to the laboring men. All they
got was some flimsy bit of statute of
no practical benefit. Then we went be
ih iat National Republican con
vention. Some one said we got a plank
on labor there. I want to tell you it
whnl wrtArioile.
ir Onmners declared that he was
neither a Democrat nor a Republican.
rXEMPLOYED MARCH STREETS
Ilold Labor Day Counter Demon,
stration In 'New York.
mf.w tork. SeDt. ".A perfect Au-
4nmn day. with clo idleaa skies, cool, ln-
vtrnratinc air. gave labor's hosts the op
.port unity for display today, and they
h most of it. Forty thousand
.strong, they marched from early morning
until mid-afternoon through thronged
streets. At the same time hundreds of
lesa fortunate, who had banded, tnem
selves together under the banner of
the unemployed, were participating In
a counter-demonstration. The holiday
throughout the city was practically gen
eral, and hundreds of thousand taking
advantage of the delightful weather
crowded trains, trolleys and steamers to
shore resorts.
A quarrel between the members of the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters,
who marched in the parade, and the
members of the American Teamsters' As
sociation, who did not. enlivened the
march and threatened to make serious
trouble. Policemen prevented any serious
disorder.

Jail at Mineola. cougnun win uo :
.min.d ms to his sanity. According to
,1,. ,rrpr service men. Coughlin told
them that he had been confined for
three years In an asyium ior me i ti
me.
Th President had returned from a
fenraeback ride only a short time before
Coughlin appeared at Sagamore Hill. Ha
did not witness the arrest of the crank
and had not been Informed of the occur
rence this evening.
The news that an armed crank had at
tempted to reach the President at Saga
more Hill started a rumor that a snoi
had been fired at the President while he
was out horseback riding last Saturday.
It was said that the president was rid
ing along the Cove road near the house
of his cousin. W. Eralen Roosevelt, when
he was fired upon by some one concealed
in a clump of bushes at the roadside.
That there was any foundation for the
story was denied by those in a position
to know. James Sloan, Jr., the chief of
the President's guard of secret service
men, emphatically denied the story of
the ambush.

In Years.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 7. 'With In

eral years prevailing in every branch of
organised labor in San Francisco. Labor
day was celebrated in this city today
with two monster parades of organized
labor in the morning and literary exer
cises, athletic sports and picnics in the
afternoon and evening. The absence of
all industrial strife and the peace and
quiet with which today's celebrations
were held was in sharp contrast to the
turbulent scenes, riots and bloodshed of
Labor day last year during the strike of
the streetcar men and other organizations,
when several people were killed and
maimed.

course In some injunction cases.

The column of 6000 men under Colonel
Allix marched out from Boudenalb thie

off Boudenalb, but the artillery kept up
a terrific Are. in the face of which the
Arabs were unable to approach to close

control until the financial situation had
relaxed considerably Mr. Harriman

servative voters possibly would not have
sufficient Interest to go to the pons.

favor of tariff revision, and that he be
lieves the tariff should have been revised
six or seven years ago. when other nnan
cial changes were made.

shown in the illustration. It is made of broadcloth, in pretty shades of blue, brown
and green. The coat is semi-fitted and has the new slashes at the sides and back,

Another very stylish suit at this price is made of broadcloth, strictly tailored,
with plaited skirt and long semi-fitted, single-breasted coat. The lapels of the coat
are inlaid 'with satin matching the broadcloth in color, and the handsome woven satin
buttons ornamenting the lapels and back of the coat are also of the same shade. The
lining in both these suits is of an especially durable quality of taffeta.
