THE AUSTIN STATESMAN. SUNDAY. JUNE 21. 1903. The Clash of Organized Capital With Organized Labor; The Differences and Potentialities of the Situation AS a war lo the.

death between organized labor and capital begun? That is the question which has been uppermost In the mind of many people since the for- contention that the association is not in a position to proceed to extreme measures, and further give it as their opinion that the employers are aware that their organization is foredoomed to failure. But there are unionists again who, recalling the speech made by David M. Parry, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, at the last annual convention in New Orleans, sea in this organization in New York th first step in the carrying out of tha ideas promulgated by Mr. Parry. In his address President Parry made one of the most scathing arraignments of union labor heard in this country In recent years and called upon the manufacturers to unite in a war which should not end until trades unionism as at present constituted had been stamped out.

Needless to say, his remarks attracted a great deal of attention and elicited much comment, favorable and otherwise. But whether he was right or whether he was wrong in his denunciation of organized labor, his remarks, in the light of recent events, have an added interest, and signs are not wanting that organizations along lines of sympathy with his programme may soon be effected in several cities. Whatever the ultimate effect of the union of New York employers. It includes men who are certainly representative of the building trades of that city. The list includes the names of Charles L.

Eldlitz, electrical contractor, one of the most prominent figures in the present controversy; Otto M. Eldlitz. mason builder; Theodore Hoffstatter, Interior decorator; E. B. Tompkins, marble worker; Hugh Getty, master carpenter; J.

M. Cornell, Iron manufacturer, and Daniel W. O'Neill, woodworker. These are the men who will be expected to answer the-iuestiou. Has a war to the death between organized labor and organized capital begun? TRUMAN L.

Their argument, as expressed in an onic-lal statement, runs: "It Is a well established fact that in theory the best results for both employers and employees are reached by harmoniously working together. It is and will be the aim of employers and members of this association to endeavor to place this theory In working prartice, but this is almost impossible as an operating plan, because sympathetic strikes ire arbitrarily ordered by the board of walking delegates, making the agreements of different unions with their individual employers of no value whatever. This association of employers it absolutely opposed to sympathetic strikes and the Interference of political demagogues in the business affairs of Its members." In pursuance of this policy the employers' union has already begun to meet sympathetic strikes by sympathetic lockouts, and It is said that similar steps wl'y be taken In the near future by like' organizations throughout the country.

Many labor leaders hold, however, that the employers are not in a position to continue for any length of time such a policy on a national basis. One the reasons advanced for this opinion Is that the employers, unlike the employees, are "fixtures" and that, while It la possible for the unionist who goes out on a sympathetic strike to secure employment In some other place, the employer Is In a very different position. Furthermore, say the labor men, the employer's hand are as a rule tied by reason of the fact that in nine cases out of ten he Is the holier of contracts and is frequently under heavy bonds to perform his undertakings In a certain time. The main argument of the leaders with whom this view of the situation obtains Is Important in Its possibilities. It is pointed out that as a result of many years of agitation and education TWO LEADEES IN THE UNION OF EMPLOYERS.

so many ramifications that a national organization could not hold together long enough to inculcate the necessary co-operative ideas. There are still other labor leaders who in discussing the association affirm that it is merely "bluffing" and has no Intention of doing more than make a show of strength. Such men base their arguments upon grounds similar to those held by the advocates of the the unionists have become essentially co-operative, whereas the employers are competitive, earning their daily biead by underbidding one another. With such conditions prevailing it is contended that the latter cannot unite, or If they do come together cannot work In harmony. This view the labor leaders maintain, despite the fact of the New York organization.

It is apparent, therefore, provided the SHERIFF IS BACK WITH PRISONER ALLEGED HIGHWAYMAN LANDED IN TRAVIS COUNTY JAIL LAST NIGHT. VICTIM OF ROBBERY ACCOMPANIED OFFICERS Officer Owen Identified Accused as the Man Whom He Had Chased on Morning of the Robbery. Sheriff Matthews returned last night at 10:40 o'clock having in custody linn Smith, one of the alleged highwaymen who is charged with having held up and robbed Juan Cortez. a Mexican, Inst Wednesday morning while he was crossing the Colorado river bridge. As Sheriff Matthews stepped off the train with the prisoner, he was met by Officer Owen and Sergeant Piatt and a reporter for The Statesman.

As soon as the officer reached a light Captain Owen requested him to stop and let him get a good look ut the prisoner and as soon as he saw him he said lie recognized Smith ns the man he had chased on the morning of the rob'iery. Cortez accompanied Sheriff Matthews to Austin, and in an interview with him he said to The Statesmen irinrKiMuvm mac ne was sure mat was one oi me men no nua tiHirt mm un. Cortes went to the tail witn tne snerin and the prisoner, and he was given a bed to sleep on for tha night. He will remain here for the preliminary trial of the accused. -Before leaving yesterday mornlne for the prisoner.

Sheriff Matthews preferred a charge against the accused in Justice Johnson's court charging him with highway robbery. Smith declined to be interviewed. nitnougn lie to Sheriff Mat- Impossible for the employers to get together in this way is shown, the friends of the association assert, by the history of the organization of employing prlaters, among whom underbidding is viitBally a thing of the past. The trades unionists, however, contend that in the case of the printers the situation is radically different and that even If an analogy could reasonably be diawn the building trades Industry has ENGLAND DEPENDS ON CANADA WHEAT CLOSER ALLIANCE BEING FORMED BETWEEN COLONY AND OLD COUNTRY. SHE DOES NOT DESIRE ANNEXATION TO U.

S. Although 10,000 Americans Have Gone Into Canada She Is Loyal in Sentiment to England. Ottawa, June 20. Whilst things are moving on slowly in Great Britain in the direction of imperial federation, what may be termed the centripetal forces of the empire are moving with a certain cohesion to what may be called the centrifugal ones at home. The Dominion, perhaps, feels more keenly than any other colony the necessity for a closer alliance with the mother country on account of the need of markets for her ever increasing produce.

The Idea that Canada will find it advantageous to seek annexation with the United States is fust losing ground here in the face of the economical facta which are developing. Within a decade Western Canada alone will be exporting double the amount of wheat now exported by the United States and since the amount then grown in the United States will! then have reached a point at which large and ready foreign market will be necessary a union with that country would be detrimental to Cunada rather than otherwise. I'nder present political conditions there can be little doubt that Britain would favor a preference on behalf of Canadian Rrown wheat in order to have her food supply guaranteed in case of war. As a shrewd writer on this subject recently expressed the case in connec tion with an assertion that the Ameri can emigration into the Canadian cereal belt would nromote annexation: "It is not unreasonable to believe mat wnn tne urmsn market oetore them as a rich and unfailing customer. the American-born grain growers of Western Canada would develop into powerful economic interest based on imperial policy, ns such offering an interesting departure from the commonly accepted notion of their political effect upon Canada? Such a result is living they are likely to waive such political aspirations as would tend to make Washington the seat of government instead of Ottawa and calmly accept their geographical destiny as a matter of course.

Nor will agriculturists be the only ones to feel the benefit of the zollverien. The mining and other products of the Dominion will doubtless secure the same preference in Britain that are accorded cereals and the Americans who go into business in Canada, such as those who have helped develop Salt St. Marie and other Ontario points. Sydney, Cape Breton, British Columbia other mining industries, not forgetting those of the Yukon, certainly will not be unlikely to become good British citizens under similar circumstances. The existence of a food supply within the empire such as will be furnished by Canadian cereals and dairy products and Australian cattle offer the strongest inducements for consummating the imperial federation movement.

It could seemingly be accomplished without perceptible increase in the price of foodstuffs to the English working classes, which has hitherto been the chief objection to differential tariff in favor of the colonies, or the return to any general protective policy. But to the American wheat raiser of the northwest, the coming to puss of the Imperial zollverein scheme is not necessary in order to make the new opening of Western Canada a serious development. On a basis of only equal opportunity in Liverpool, as today, the Can adians would still get as much for their wheat as our own farmers, and their cost of transporting it there would be hardly perceptibly greater. It could be shipped in bond to Duluth and then take the routes of the American wheat, or it might be exported through Port Arthur on the northern shore of Lake Superior. The Canadian Pacific Railroad, with Its feeders, which are rapidly extending, has a douhi interest 'H making the most reasonable rates possible for this wheat movement.

The climate of Western Canada has been much misunderstood and in consequence that section of the continent has lacked due appreciation. The fact that it is about the most salubrious and delightful of all the regions in this hemisphere has been but a tardy discovery. The isotherm of sixty, which, in July lies just north of Quebec at its eastern end, touches the mouth of the McKenzie above the Arctic circle at the western extremity of the continent. Therefore the climatic conditions in old i anana vary vastly, in addition to this the bad lands of the American norinw est exienuing west oi 'nda.

There has icarcely been a time In the past four rears when there was not at least one In progress, the culmination of builders troubles coming with the Ilsagreement between the Brotherhood if Carpenters and Joiners and the Amalgamated Association of Carpenters, which completely tied up building operations In Gotham. The employers disclaim any Intention of declaring war on organized labor, but many unionists are convinced, from the nature of the demunds made by the association, that It is only a question of time when a fight to the finish will develop, a fight which may not llloglcally extend until It covers the greater part of the country. The avowed policy of the employers' union embraces demands for the exclusion of unskilled labor from trades unions. the abolition of the walking delegate and the shop steward and the termination of the practice of ordering "sympathy strikes." All these are part and parcel of trades unionism, but the concerted move against sympathetic strikes is especially Important, for it Is upon such strikes that the unions place the greatest reliance as giving them their most powerful weapon to bring employers to terms.

Not unnaturally they affirm that It might be sounding their drath knelt to maks this concession.

Kdgar, super- contentions of the labor men are correct, that If the various trades of the country are planning a gigantic war on labor they must form national organisations for the prevention of competitive cutting of prices. This the employers admit, and they also admit that it would take time to effect such organizations, just as It has taken time for the unions to educate their members to to-operative ideas, but that It is not that ticket in national politics from principle.

He advised every man to go to the polls and exercise his right. "This is a government of the people, and if the decent people do not go to the polls and vote the government will be In the hands of the shysters and tricksters and rascals. If the decent people, the Christian people, had gone to the polls In St. Louis at the last election they would have done their duw, which they did not do.

LOUIS LANIER. IMMUNE TO BEE POISON. Apiarists Get So They Don't Much Mind Being Stung. That a person who has been often stung by bees becomes in time immune to the poison of the sting Is asserted by Dr.

H. F. Parker. He reports that when he first began to keep bets he was frequently stung, and that each sting was attended with acute pain; but that as time went on the pain and swelling became less. In the following year, while transferring a hive of bees, he had an experience which he thus relates: "Sting followed sting in succession, in legs, arms, fingers, neck and face.

I imagined what a picture I would present closed eyes and swollen hands and feet. I worked on, and so did the bees. I could feel the needle-like thrust, but then it did not seem to pain as much, and at last I MniHhed the task. With aching head, slight nausea and vertigo slowly coming on left my task with a sigh of relief for what was accomplished and filled with wonderment as to what my personal appearance would be. "Imagine my astonishment to find merely slightly ruised red spots, like little pimples, with the red filing in the center, as the result of each and every sting.

I must have had some- tning line nrty ot them on various parts of my body. My clothes were I of them; but they being so thick OKt not allow the sting to penetrate. The dizziness, nausea and headaeh'-left me and 'Richard was himself "When I again visited my bees I did not dread the stingtng properties any longer, at leas't, not us much so as formerly and then, and ever since, 1 have found that when a bee does sling me the pain is only shown for an instant and there is an absence of the after swelling. 1 have since been stung many more times than I was ut that time, and yet none of the symptoms above referred to have been reproduced. Am I not, therefore, immune of the poison of the honey bee.
