Saying That It Is Time to Organize Against the American Federation of Labor Afraid of the Socialists. Indianapolis. Dec. 22. "It is time to organize," is the key note of four cir culars that are being sent to manu facturers throughout the country by i D. M. Parry, of Indianapolis, president of the National Association of Manu facturers. He has found his text in various resolutions of the recent American Federation of Labor con vention at New Orleans. The circulars are directed more against organized labor in general than against the eight-hour bill, which Mr. Parry has attacked In circulars recently. Referring to the Max Hayes resolution, adopted by the federation, Mr. Parry says: I'John Mitchell's United Mine Work- : Way Take Street Railways. Ill, Dec. 22.

It -was a rear-end collision, the en gine of the local plowing Its wny through the last coach on the owl. which was filled with Fresno people. The. passengers who escaped instant death were hurled to the fore part of the coach, crushed between the mass of debris, their sufferings and danger intensified a hundredfold by the clouds of scalding steam that poured out on them from the shattered boil er of the Stockton engine. The "owl" left the Oakland Molo about o o clock, and on the way to Byron It was noted that thero was a leak In the flue of the engine. This increased to such an extent that it was deemed advisable to stop and take up a freight engine for relief. The train officials knew that No. 84. the Stockton local, was followine a half hour behind and a flagman was sent back down the track to give warning or tne presence of the "owl." It Is said that the Stockton train, in charge of Engineer Magulre and Fire man Joyce, got the warning slirnal In due time and gave the' usual response wun wnisuo masts. On came the train with anparenth- scarcely any diminution of speed, and the Fresno coach was completely "tele scoped. So forcibly did the local meet the rear of the "owl" that the end of the second car, the dining car, was smashed In and all of the three cooks were seriously hurt. Relief camo quickly to the nassen gere who were penned in the wrack age, axes and saws being brought into piay, ana passengers and train crew lending eager aid. Messages were sent to Byron Hot Springs, a short distance away, and Dr. Bird, of the springs, with Dr. J. D. Davidson, of trt rwrrnni rail nry toot IftfiD vntoo cnl. idly for this resolution.

It is confidentially prophesied that the socialists will be In full control of the trades unionist movement in the United States by the next American Federation of I.abor convention." The charge Is made that the Hayes resolution means an attack on the productive wealth of the country, and that the socialists intend to take pos session of all the money and private properties. fathered Stock Display. ro.

Farmers of Walla Walla Valley Have Few to Sell. Walla Walla, Dec. 22. With the price of eggs, chickens and turkeys jumping skyward, the people of this section realize that Christmas is near. Every merchant In the city is short of eggs and efforts to secure them prove futile, although a price of 35 and 40 cents is offered readily. Turkeys are in strong demand, and the supply is short, causing the price to go upward as the days go by. At the local markets an effort Is being made to secure poultry enough to suiv ply the demand, but It Is doubtful ir that can be done. At Thanksgiving time large shipments of turkeys and chickens wero made, and the farmers were ofTered such good prices that many of them sold instead of waiting for the holidays as Is the usual cus tom. accompanied them and first aid was given to the mangled, bruised and scalded sufferers, who w'ere lying near the track. None of the passengers of No. 81 were injured, and all of the crew of the "owl" escaped unhurt. Of the 10 killed outright it was Im possible to identify but one person. The others were not known to their fellow passengers, and up to a late hour nothing was found on their per sons to furnish a Hpw to their names or residence. Since then 13 of those Injured have died and there are yet others so bad ly injured that their recovery Is Im-i possible. Southern Indiana's Plans, Elected to the Legislature of Illinois by Large Majority Famous Argu ment In Oshkosh Conspiracy Case Circulated as Campaign Literature. Chicago, Dec. 22. It was unani mously decided at a meeting of the central committee, "of the Union La bor party, today, to tender Clarence S. Darrow. attorney for the United Mine Workers, the nomination fori mayor of this city, The able, and energetic manner In which Mr. Darrow has discharged the delicate task given him by President Roosevelt, wnen ho gave him the ap pointment as council for the miners, has endeared him to the public. Tho labor party of Chicago has watched with delight the strong sentiment of public approval of Mr. Darrow's ac tions, throughout the anthracite strike" Investigation, and without a dissent ing voice agreed to name him as a candidate for mayor. First Public Recognition. The nation at large first became acquainted with tho name of Clarence S. Darrow during tho famous trial of Eugene V. Debs, tho leader of the great American Rallwnv Union strike of 1894.

Kldd, gen eral secretary of tho Woodworkers International Union, was Indicted with George Zentner and MIchaelTrol ler, for conspiracy In the Oskosli woodworkers' strike, Mr. Darrow was at once retained as chief council for the defendant, The argument he made in behnlf o his clients attracted national ntten tlon. Some of Its Rentlmonts have been quoted In every labor platform and many of the most eloquent, labor seeches since that day. Elected to Legislature, Last month Mr. Darrow was elect ed to the state legislature from th 17th district of Illinois. Ho ran as an Independent public ownership cundl date, and was elected by a majority without parallel in the history of that district. The only literature circulated by his friends during tho campaign was copies of the OsUkosh conspiracy ar gument, a pamphlet of 80 pages. Its flery eloquence and hard-hitting truths so stirred tho laboring peon! that his opposition was overwhelm ed.

Only $1800 of delinquent taxes re main unpaid in Yamhill county zatlon was arrested for conspiracy to Injure the large contractor and lum ber companies. The opportunity for Impassioned and fervent expression was unequal ed and Darrow arose to the occasion In the course of his argument he used tho following language which has been wide quoted. "You may argue as you please about the minor details of this case, but deep In your heart, and In mine, deep in the minds of every man who thinks, is tho certain knowledge that this qrama In which you play such an Important part, is but a phase of the burning social .question that moves the world." Honored by Roosevelt. The greatest tribute that has yet been paid to Mr. Darrow, either as a lawyer or champion of organized la bor, is his appointment by President Roosevelt to be counsel for John Mitchell and the United Mine Work era, in the anthracite Investigation.

NEW ACADEMY BUILDING. Railroad Officials Generally Agro That the Rate Situation in AH Sections of the Country Is Mr Than Ever Before. New York, Dec. J2.--The prefw4tr which the railroads tliniughonL the country are now enpoylng Is hi on respect different from any period of prosperity which railroads hivo ea Joytd In the past, llnllroad osHclaU generally agrco thnt tho rnto nltaatlo In all sections of the country In In a better condition than over before. The scheduler tnrlffB aro lining almost universally maintained, whllo there l practically no cutting of ratoo by any of thn railroads. Never before: has thn ratu situation throughout the country appealed so perfect, and this lt gen erally considered ono of thn main nw son3 of tho excellent showing of earn ings which tho rallroailH havo mndu during the Inst year. Tho railroads hnvo enjoyed ninny periods of prof pcrlty In tho past but In practically evory Instance this prosperity has been Interrupted by rnto disturbance Since 1R05 there has been a steady Improvement In tho rnto conditions throughout tho country, until at prw cut It Is reported by rnllroud ofllclnla In several sections of tho country as being nlmnst Ideal. Discrimination In rates have boon almost wholly nbollshod, and tho scheduled tariffs nro bring nialntnlned ns never before. INJURED. This Is considered not only ono of tho main muses of the excellent earnings, which tho railroads aro now reporting, but ono of tho strongest means for tho belief thnt tho prosper ity the railroads nro enjoying will continue, with tompornry reactions, for an lndeilnltu period. There nro n number of causes for tho oxcellent rnto conditions. Ono of tho reasons why rates nro hclmr so uniformly maintained Is tho largo amount of traffic offered tho railroads which gives no Incentive for cutting rates. Tho community of Interest movement, whereby tho grcntor pro portion of the railroad mllcago of tho country hits been brought under tbo control of a few groups of financiers, nlso has been a powerful factor In clearing up tho rate situation. Through this movement many of tho smaller nnd weaker roads, which wuro continually cutting rates In tho b tempt to secure lrnm from tholr stronger competitors, have been ab sorbed. Another Important factor Is that during tho Inst few yetirH thoro has been little or no competitive build ing While tho now mllengo that has been constructed hnai aggregated a considerable amount It has boon com posed almost wholly of short branches nnd extensions, Willi) It can hardly be hoped that rnto dlsliirbancPH havo boon, forever eliminated from tho railroad Industry it is iKiiiiiveii by many prominent rail road officials that tho developments pointed out havo wought such a revo lution that any such gonoral disturb ance of rates as occurred In 1881 and I80 havo been mndo ImpoHslblo In tlio rntiiro so strong nre tho nlllcd roads which aro ngulnst tho practlco.
