If 0 will name whom he meant, 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." ip.
