THE PERILS OF
TRADE UNIONISM
: ;
1 Remarkable Address by Clarence S. Darrow, Chief
Counsel for the Miners in the Recent Arbitration
in the Anthracite Coal Fields—Says That Many of
the Members of the Organizations Do Not Com
prehend the Principles to Which They Subscribe.
The Fever of Combinations. ^
CHICAGO, May 24.—Clarence S. Dar-
I row, who waa chief counsel for the ml-
jnera In the recent arbitration in the
I anthracite coal field*, delivered an n<l-
I Greek before the Henry George assocla-
I tion hei4 today on "The Perils of
I Trade* Unionism." The general tone
I of hi* talk was that labor unions do not
1 understand the principles upon which
I they are founded and along which tht>
I must work. If they are to continue in
I existence. He auld. in part: 1
•■{Trade* unionism Is really. In lti last
ft analysis, the effort to monopolize r*.<*
I labor mark*t. in th*- same line »« the
I trust is the effort to tnonopc- »z*- produc-
I tion. The great growth of trade union*
limn In the list few years hss taken
Its body large number* of men.
I who were not familiar with Its prlncl-
|plet or It# value, whose one desire ha*
1 to better their condition, who
I have not the understanding of affair*
to recognize the relation that trade
unionism bears to general progress and
who. therefore, have narrow' views as
to its management, control and use.
"In the great growth of trade union
ism the men seem to have lost sight of
the fundamental principles, which in
the end must control. Men catch trade
unionism, speculation, combination, as
they catch, the measles or the mumps.
Capital has caught the fever of combi
nation until It has gone mad over cor
imratlona and trusts. Likewise laboi
has caught the fever of trade unionism,
and, without knowing what it means
or realising how it may be of regl ac
vice to the world, hss turned Its pown
and energy In the direction of building
up organizations. Unless this force it
turned to political power or turned tc
substantial methods for bettering In*
dustrial conditions, rather than gain*
ing temporary or personal advantages
then all this great movement must be
for naught."

PARIS, May 24.—In view of the num-
er of afccldents, some fatal, in the first
stage of the Paria-Madrld automobile
ice from Versailles to Bordeaux,. Pre-
tier Combes has forbidden the con
tinuance of the contest on French ter
ritory. The second stage of the race,
rhlch Whs to have been continued on
'uesday, Included a run over French
territory, from Bordeaux to the Span
ish frontier. Premier ‘Combe*' action
fill lead to the race being abandoned.
PARIS. May 24.—The first stage In
Ye Paris-Madrid automobile race, from
'ersallles to Bordeaux, 340 miles, was
finished at noon today, when Lewis
Renault dashed at a furious pace Into
Bordeaux, having made a record run
of eight hours and twenty-seven mtn*
An hour lated M. Gabriel arrived
with a still better record of eight hours
and seven minutes.
It Is estimated from the time made
that these automobiles covered sixty*
o miles an hour on the roads outsldo
e cities. These victories, however,
sre clouded by a series of accidents^
having In one case at least, a fatal re
sult. At least two cars were wrecked,
nnd Marcel Renault, the winner of the
Pnrls-Vlenna race last year; Lorraine
Barrows, a very well known automobl-
Hat, and Renaut'* chaffeur were fatally
Injured, while Barrow’s chauffeur was
killed.
Moreover, an unconfirmed report
says a serious accident occurred near
Angouleme, In which the two occupants
of an automobile, the owner of which Is
not yet known, were seriously Injured
nnd two spectators were killed. This
number of accidents has not caused
any great surprise In view of the num
ber of contestants In the rnce nnd the
great speed and power of their ma-
name of w. K. Vnnderbllt, Jr.,
disappeared from the reports along the
route after ft/mboulltet, where h<
passed twenty-eighth In order at 4:4!
this morning, going in fine form. The
omission of his name from the dis
patches from Chartres, the next town
on the road, caused some anxiety and
brought forth a number of Inquiries.
It was learned later that he. Henri
Fournier and Baron de Forest with
drew* from the race together before
reaching Chartres. All of them suffer
ed break-downs, nnd, having lost three
hours, they decided It w’as useles
continue. Vanderbilt and Baron de
Forest laughed and made light of their
withdrawal. Foxhnll Keene, Tod
Sloan and W. J. Dannont, the Ameri
can artist, did not start. C. Gray Dins-
more |h thus the only American left
In the race.
Versailles pasted a night of wild ex
citement. It Is estimated that a hun
dred thoufnnd persona crowded Into
the little town to witness the start of
the race. Soldiers with fixed bayonets
Hurd the track for some distance from
Versailles. A bomb was exploded at
t:85 n. m. as a signal to get ready, and

the enormous machine shot forward
amid the shouts of the thousands of
spectators. The other cars followed In
quick succession. Mine. De Clast, the
sole female competitor In last year's
Parla-Berlln race, was ngnin the only
an to participate In the present
contest. Ilcr machine was decked with
flower* and her departure was the sig
nal for a great ovation. Sho made u

chine prevented him from reaching th*
starting line in time, and he was fur
ther delayed by n controversy with the
Judges, finally starting two minute*
Inje. The last departure wft* at a
quarter to 7 this morning.
The reports along the route soon
showed that Louis Renault was making
grent race, nnd before Chartres he
had overtaken anil passed Charles Jnr-
rqjt, M. Rene de KnylT. and gnlned a
lend which he never after lost. Dis
patches from Vendomc, Tours nnd
Polctlers told of his pnsslng through

nouncement of his arrival first at 12
hours, 14 minutes, seconds. lie hid

During the nfternoon word of acci
dents began to arrive and cast a cloud
over'the event. A dispatch from Bor
deaux announced that Lorraine Bar-
rows had inet n shocking accident near
Llbour.ie, seventeen miles frpm Bor
deaux, at a quarter to 2 th's nfternoon.
It appears that Mr. Barrows had
tried to avoid n dog which was cross

killed outright. Barrows himself was
picked up tmeonsdou* hut still breath
ing nnd was taken to a hospital, where
his cordlt on was declared to be crit
ical. Ills car was dashed to pieces.
Shortly afterwards news came that
Mnrrel Renault had been overturned
In a deep ditch btlM* the road near
Couch**, twenty-one miles from Poin
tier*. nnd that he was dangerously In
jured.
The automobile club of Bordeaux re
ceived a dispatch at 4 o’clock saying
that Renault was unconscious, and It
was feared would not recover. Many
casualties are reported.

tained at Beourdlniere, between Char
tres nnd Bonnoval, a maximum speed
of 88% miles per hour.
It Is reported that the Spanish gov
ernment has also forbidden the contin
uance of the race on Spanish territory.
PARIS, May 24.—The result of the

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 24.—A spe
cial from Jackson, Ky., says: A bat
talion of troops numbering 120 men ar
rived at Jackson this afternoon to pre
serve order In the town and about the
court house during the investigation of
the assassination of James B. Mar
cum, the lost victim of the Hnrgis-
Cockrell feud. The arrival of troops
was unmarked by any particular Inci
dent. Traveling on the special train
with the soldiers were County, Judgo
James Hargis and his brother, State
Senator Alexander Hargis. Another
passenger was Judge Bach, who Is re
garded as the most Importbnt of the
witnesses summoned to testify before
tho special grand Jury as to the assas
sination of Marcum. Judge Bach re
turned from Los Angeles, Cal., to give
evidence. In an interview he express** l
the belief that no disorder would occur
as long tho troops remained. Judge
Bach said he did not fear a personal
attack and declared that he would re
main at his home, without taking any
special manures for Belf-protcctlon.
Public opinion is divided as to the
probability of Indictment or conviction
of Marcum's assassin as a result of the
k of the special grand Jury which
be empanncled tomorrow, with
Judge Rodwlne on the bench. Curtis
Jett, who Is under arrest at Winches
ter, charged with tho crime, will not
k for a change of venue If he shall
Indicted and returned to Jackson. •
Prosecuting Attorney Byrd stated
that It Is possible such a motion might
nado by- those Interested In tho
prosecution. Doubt is expressed ns to
probability of witnesses mustering
:ournge to'tell the grand Jury all
they know. Tho common belief Is that
of assassination after the troops
shall be withdrawn may seal the lips
those who know about tho killing
