IN A GREAT MUDDLE,
Is the Tariff Matter in Congress
at the Present Time.
HOUSE CONFEREES INSIST
Thai Sugar, Coal and Iron Ore Shall Go on
the Free List—Some Political Ingrati
tude —Denson’s Glaring Freak.
|From Our Regular Correspondent.!
Washington, July 20,1894.
He must be a queer sort of a dem
ocrat who can get any satisfaction
out of the present tariff situation.
The report of a general disagree
ment as the r3sult of nearly two
weeks’ work on the part of the
house and senate conferees certain
ly does not look encouraging, al
though some of the gloom is lifted
by the knowledge that while the
disagreement is for reasons satis
factory to the conferees reported to
be general It, is in fact only over
some half a dozen of the senate
amendments, including sugar, coal
and iron ore, the house conferees
insisting that they should go on
the free list, as in the Wilson bill,
and the senate conferees that they
shall remain as passed by the sen
ate. It is not clear just at this time
what the outcome is to be, but I
cannot believe that the democrats
in congress will be willing to carry
the disagreement to the extent of
allowing the McKinley law to re
main in force, as is now being jubi
lantly predicted by the republicans.
It would be better if the conferees
after another attempt fail to reach
an agreement to call in some prom
inent democrats from the outside
and let them arbitrate. The demo
cratic party has promised the coun
try a tariff law and it will be sui
cidal for the democrats in congress
to fail to keep that promise.
The senate committee on territo
ries decided at its meeting this
week that although the Utah bill
first became a law Arizona and
New Mexico should be admitted to
the union at the same time, and di
rected that bills therefor should be
ready by its next meeting.
Political ingratitude is so com
motrin Washington that it seldom
attracts more than a passing notice,
but the apostacy of Representative
Denson, of Alabama, who has writ
ten a letter announcing his with
drawal from the democratic party
and his intention to act with the
1 * 1,1 * * , nni.K (1 olufi
fngcase and bis object so plain to
all that it is receiving more atten
tion than it really deserves. Said
an Alabama democrat: “The rea
son given by r Denson for leaving
the democratic party—his inability
to support President Cleveland and
his financial policy—is absolutely
ridiculous when the fact is remem
bered that he owes his seat in the
house to President Cleveland, who,
during his first administration, ap
pointed him United States district
attorney for the northern and mid
dle districts of Alabama, thus giv
ing him the prominence which ena
bled him to get nominated and
telected to congress two years ago.
Now President Cleveland, as all the
world knows, has not changed the
financial ideas he held during his
first term. It is Denson who has
changed, and the reason, while ob
vious, is not flattering to him. The
third party has been strong in his
district for several years—be only
beat his populist opponent by 1,800
votes in a total of more than 20,000
—and Denson believes it will carry
the district this year and is willing
to be elected to congress as a popu
list rather than to chance being de
feated as a democrat. Such men
can be spared by the democratic
party.
Representative Baily, of Texas,
was made happy this week when
the house, by a vote of 127 to 81,
passed his voluntary bankruptcy
bill. He has maintained ever since
the Torrey bankruptcy bill was de
feated that a majority of the house
favored a national bankruptcy law,
and that it was only because the
Torrey bill put it in the power of
creditors to force a man into bank
ruptcy when he considered himself
solvent that it was defeated. The
vote on Mr. Bailey’s bill, which
makes a man judge of his own sol
vency, indicates that his judgment
was correct.
Representative Springer, of Illi
nois, was this week given a hearing
by a sub-committee of the house
committee on labor, on his bill pro
viding for compulsory arbitration
of all disputes between employer
and employes, by a national board
of arbitrators. Mr. Springer claims
that his bill covers every possible
contingency that may arise, and
that if it be enacted into a law a
long step will be taken towards the
solving ot the problem which has
been so troublesome of late. A
number of bills dealing with the
same subject are being considered
by the sub-committee.
Representative Bland, of Mis
souri, proposes to put the newly
found friendship for silver which
so many republicans are professing
to iiie test, by getting his biii for
the free coinage of silver reported
from tlie house coinage committee,
if he can manage to get a quorum
of the committee who are favorable
to the bill together soon Owing to
the absence of members and the
nearness of the close of the session,
the chances are against Mr. Bland’s
succeeding. Another thing that
adds to the chances against him is
that a considerable number of
members of the house, many of
them democrats, are strongly op
posed to any further agitation of
the silver question at this time, and
still more opposed to the taking of
a record vote on the Bland bill.
Is There a Remedy for Strikes?
[Savannah News.]
The question whether or not there
is a way to prevent labor strikes is
one that has received a great deal
of attention, but as yet no satisfac
tory answer to it has been found.
In some of the states, notably New
York, there is a law' providing for
arbitration, but it has not proven
satisfactory, because there is no
way to compel obedience to it. If
a strike were to occur on the New
Yoak roads, out of sympathy with
the Pullman employes, the New
York board of arbitration could do
Nothing toward settling it because
there would be nothing to arbitrate.
The arbitrators could not undertake
to settle the Pullman trouble, the
parties to that trouble being resi
dents of another state, and having
no connection with the railroads
of New York or any other state.
A good many well meaning men,
not connected with the populist
party, are arguing that the only
remedy for strikes is government
ownership of the railroads, tele
graph lines and the mines. But if
the employes of the roads and
mines and telegraph lines, under
that, condition of affairs, were not
satisfied, what would prevent them
from striking? It is said that they
would be enlisted, just as soldiers
are, and that if they deserted their
posts they would be dealt with as
deserters. If they should strike by
the thousands the government
would have an interesting time ar
resting and punishing them as de
serters.
And then what a time the politi
,.juj cw,, sr r ew would liHve;
( ne employes would be continually
demanding higher wages and a re
duction of the hours of labor and
the shippers would be forever insis
ting upon lower traffic and passen
ger rates. Between the two de
mands congress would have time
for little else than the railroads.
To make the railroads earn operat
ing expenses and interest on the
cost of them would be a problem
the wisest financiers would find dif
fflcult to solve.
But what an extraordinary power
the party in power would have if it
controlled not only the officeholders
but the employes of the transposi
tion lines the mines and telegraph
lines. It is estimated that there
are about 4,000,000, of these em
ployes, and the number is steadily
increaseing. With such a vast
number of wage earners drawing
pay from the government the party
in power could keep itself in office,
and there would be an end of civil
liberty.
But it does seem as if some
means might be devised for settling
labor troubles that would make it
possible to avoid strikes. If there
were courts to which employes
and employers could carry their
grievances and have them settled,
like the courts of conciliation in
France, much might be accom
plished toward lessening the num
of strikes and boycotts. These
French tribunals have been very
successful—so successful in fact,
that the introduction of similar
courts in this country is well worth
considering.
The immensity of the present
strike and the grave dangers it
threatens are well calculated to
to make congress think about this
matter. It is thinking about it and
out of the numerous suggestions
that are likely to be made may
come some plan for settling strikes
that may be thought to be worth
trying.

SIX MEN SHOT DEAD.
Alabama Miners Fire on Guards
and Non-Union Men.
LARGE NUMBER WOUNDED
A Fitched Battle Takes Place Between the
New Men Employed in the Pratt Mines
Near Birmingham and Strikers.
Birmingham, Ala, July 10.—A
fierce battle occurred this afternoon
at 4:30 p. in., at No. 3 mine at Pratts’,
between mobs of striking miners
and deputies, in which six men
were killed and nearly a score were
wounded. The full list of dead and
maimed connot be secured to-night,
as the bodies were carried off quick
ly after the fight occurred.
This morning a mass meeting of
striking miners was held on the
creek near Pratt Mines, and it was
decided that the law be taken into
their own hands, and that they
would kill or be killed. About 4.30
o’clock,the time when the employes
of the mines quit work and came
out of the mines, a mob of men was
secreted in the woods near-by.
As the negroes would come out
one by one a shot would be sent at
them and they would then drop
to the ground, either fatally wound
ed or dead. After the third negro
had fallen the deputies opened fire
on the mob and a fierce battle took
place.
B. VV, Tierce, the commander of
the deputies, fell to the ground. A
winchester ball had pierced his body
just aboye the heart. Almost at
the same instant one of the strikers
was seen to fall, but he arose again
to his knees and taking aim with
his winchester fi*ed four times at
the deputies.
The deputies kept reloading their
guns and firing and the mob began
dispersing. The deputies then made
a tour around the wounded striker,
who was still firing, and after a
time they succeded in silencing his
gun. He proved to be a French
man.
Another section of the mob made
an attack on a train which was car
rying negroes from Mine No. 4to
their homes. There were several
guards on the engines and the at
tack was answered with a fnsilade
of bullets. The first shot from the
strikers went through the cab win
dow of the engine and just missed
killinsr the engineer and .T .1.
the superinteiiuci.v at the mines.
Telegrams were sent to town
in haste for help and Sheriff Mor
row summoned twenty-five depu
ties. Governor Jones, who is still
in the city, hastily summoned the
Birmingham battalion of the state
troops.
At noon to-day the Second Regi
ment was relieved from duty. The
Fast Lake Company was still
in camp guarding the tents and
they were marched to a train and
hastily carried to Pratts with the
deputies. The governor ordered
the second Regiment into camp
and closed all the saloons in the
county.
Out at Pratts posses were hastily
formed and the woods were scoured
for miles and miles, but the miners
had made good their escape. The
work of hunting up the dead and
wounded than began. Ten men
were picked up and six were dead.
The names of the negroes are not
known. The Frenchman’s name
was Juan Kuflor. George Campbell,
colored, had leg broken and a bul
let went through his chin, lie
says that the striker came on him
after he was down and kicked him
and tired another shot into his
nose.
The negroes are terror-sticken
and are running wild. The streets
about town are crowded with peo
ple and all sorts of rumors are fly
ing about. A courier has just re
turned from the scene, and every
thing is well guarded there for an
other attack, should one be made.
Ihe bodies of the two white men
and one of the negroes have been
brought to the city, and the under
taking shops for blocks are crowded
with a surging mass of humanity.
The third Regiment of the state
troops has been ordered into camp
here, and by morning more than
five hundred soldiers will be on the
scene.
Report just comes that a dead
negro was found one mile from the
scene of the battle on the Kansas
City track.

Nothing in This World
Is so cheap as a newspaper, whether it he
measured by the co t of its production or by its
value to the consumer. We are talking about
an American, metropolitan, daily paper of the
first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It's so
cheap and so good ijgu can’t afford in this dhy
of progress to be without it. There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just like it. It prints all the real news of
the world— the news you care for —every day,
and prints it in the shortest possible space. You
can react i tin c nicn (nmrcrriw and do a day's
work too. It is an independent paper and gives
all political news free from the taint of party
bias. In a word — it’s a complete, condensed,
clean, honest family newspaper, and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or the
west—l2s,ooo to 140,000 a day.
Prof. J. T. Hatfield of the Northwestern
University says: “THE CHICAGO RECORD
comes as near being the ideal daily jour
nal as we are for some time likely to find
on these mortal shores. ”
