in support of candidates, upon some
surh p’.aitform as follows:

Cuba and the Philippines, but Porto Rico
and Hawaii are independent.

Fourth. Civil service reform.
Fifth. The abolition of special privi
lege, whether of tariff or any other
origin.

SMALLER PLANTS ANXIOUS.
Wnnt All War Vessel Bids Adver
tised for at Same Time,
Washington, July 18.—Representative©
of the smaller shipbuilding plants are
bringing pressure to bear upon the navy
department to secure the simultaneous
advertisement of all of the fourteen naval
vessels authorized to be built in the past
two naval appropriation acts.
They have represented that such a pro
cedure would tend to insure a more sat
isfactory distribution of the naval work
among the shipbuilders by preventing the
big concerns from crowding out the small
er ones, and the government would save
at least a million and a half dollars. The
department has fixed upon Nov. 15 next,
as the date for opening bids for the con
struction of the fivo battleships, and the
plans for the other ships can be made
ready, according to the smaller builders,
by that time, if it is decided to undertake
to do it.

HAVE RECIPROCAL RIGHTS.
Important Deelilon ni-intinsr to
Labor nnd Cnpltnl.
New York, July 18.—The appellate divis
ion of the Supreme Court has reversed
the judgment of the lower court In the
case of the National Protective Associa
tion of Steam Fitters and Helpers and
Charles McQueed against the Enterprise
Association and Us officers, impleaded
with William J. O'Brien as president of
the board of delegates. ,
Justice Truax gave judgment perpetually
enjoining the defendant from interfering
with Ihe work, business or employment of
the plaintiff association or any of Its
members. The Injunction forbade the co
ercing or obtaining the discharge by any
employe of McQueed or other members,
by commands, threats, strikes or other
wise.
Justice McLaughlin, In his opinion,
says:
"It cannot 1* seriously questioned but
that every workman has the right in the
first Instance, to say for whom and with
whom he will work. This right is guaran
teed to every person of legal age and com
petent to contract, under our laws. An
employer has the absolute right to say
whom he will employ and the employe has
the right to say by whom he will be
ployed and with whom he will work. Tim
right is reciprocal and once that right Is
reciprocal and once that right is de
stroyed personal liberty Is destroyed and
chaos reigns. And If one has the right,
acting In his individual capacity, he does
not lose it when acting with others cloth
ed with on equal right, so that employers
may combine and say they will not em
ploy persons who arc members of labor or
ganizations and laborers may combine and
say they will not work for employers who
engage any but members of labor organ!,
zations.”
Justice McLaughlin says that the plncl
ple is not different where labor organiza
tions are concerned.

John Barrett and Col. Denby ns among the
possible successors of Minister Conger as
the United State representative In China
in case the latter is dead.
After his Interview with the Secretary
of State, which lasted an hour, Mr Rov.k
htll said he had not had the subject of o
Chinese mission of any sort suggested to
him and that he had no expectation of
returning to the Orient.
Mr. Rockhlll Is one of the few officials
w ho st 11 retains a ray of hope ihat some
numbers of the legations in Pekin may
have esca: ed. His hope for some of the
fugitives is based on his knowl dge of the
re'ations existing for the past twenty
y, ai s between Sir Robert Hart, the Brit
ish customs officer, an-i s me of ihe most
powerful officials in Pekin. Some of these
officials owe all they have and are to the
friendship of Sir Robert, and it Is within
the limits of possibility that they may
have been able to secrete at least some
,if ihe women of the foreign party where
they can weather the storm until relief

responds With the 9th of our calendar.
