By JOSEPH R. BUCHANAN.
New York, April 25.—Sixty thousand
members of organised labor In New
York city will parade May 4 as a public
rebuke to President Roosevelt for his
recent attack on Moyer and Haywood.
The Central Federated Union has bc
cepted the Invitation of the Moyer and
Haywood protest conference committee
to parade and It will take part In the
great demonstration.
Labor 'meetings have been held
throughout this city and the United
States, and at all of them the action rl
President Roosevelt was denounced and
the decision taken to parade on May
In honor of Moyer and Haywood and ns
a rebuke to Roosevelt. Every organ!
satlon that met Instructed Its delegates
to the Central Federated Union to pre.
sent their views at the regular meet
Ings next Sunday.
Other Demonstrations.
A dispatch from Milwaukee states
that the labor leaders there have
launched a plan for setting aside a day
In May when worl^ will be suspended
and a demonstration held throughout
the country as a protest against the
utterances of the president.
The committee consisting of Dele
gates Brown, Abrahams and Henry,
appointed by the New York Central
Federated Union to call upon President
Roosevelt In relation to his attitude to
ward Moyer, Haywood and Pettlbone,
Instead of leaving for Washington, dS‘
elded to abandon their mission.
Roosevelt Preferred Letter,
Private Secretary Loeb wired that
the president did not desire to see the
committee personally, but suggested
that the Central Federated Union send
to him In writing anything It wished to
communicate upon the queetlon of the
Moyer-Haywood-Pottlbone matter.
Members of the Central Federated
Union who know of the telegrams that
passed between Secretaries Bohm and
-oeb, believe that the president expects
his letter to the Chicago Federation of
Labor to be accepted as a reply to the
criticisms of the Central Federated
Union also.
IS TOO CLOSE
TO WALL STREET
Continued From Page One,
drew and notified them that wo would
have nothing to do with It.
"If the Southern Cotton Association
only knew It, It Is working actual In-
ury to the farmers of the South by
ts constant alignment with Wall
street and with the spinning Interest.
Whenever you hear of the farmers of
the South tlelng up with the specula
tors of Wall street and with the spin
ning Interests, which naturally want
low priced cotton, right then and there
you may be prepared to look for a
new period of “*
low priced cotton. We
have forced high priced cotton by our
Independent and organized effort. We
propose to be Just and reasonable with
the spinner and not to extort a penny
from them by charging more for our
cotton than Its actual worth.
"But tjie time has passed when they
can get our cotton at a penny's less
value than It Is actually worth, and
likewise the time has passed when the
Wall street speculator can beat down
our cotton and enable the markets of
the world to buy It at less than Its
true value.
Farmers' Union and, despite some
the highest officers of the Southern
Cotton Association—and having done
this much, we do not propose to tie
up any further with the Southern Cot
ton Association until It unties Itself
from Wall street and the_splnners."

Indication of Re

'It will probably bo at least two
weeks before we can reach any de
clslon in the passenger rate matter,'
said Commissioner Stevens Thursday
morning.
‘There Is an immense mass of ma
terial filed by the railroads in this case
and It Would not be right to reach
hasty conclusion or without giving
careful condiseratfon to every fact
brought before us by either side.
Since the petition of the Farmers'
Union was filed several weeks ago,
Commissioner Joseph M. Brown, the
rate expert of the commission, has
been making an exhaustive fctudy
thA question. Ho has worked every
night long past midnight collecting
data and figures. These will prove
a great help In arriving at a final con
clusion. '

three men composing the commission.
8. II. Hardwick, passenger traffic man
ager of the Bouthcrn, concluded his argu

of facts and figures to show that rate re*
