The failure the Union Iron Works to obtain a contract for building one of the new warship regarded here as a direct result of the systematic aud lons-continued hostility of Senator Manna to the Scotts, and especially to Henry J.

Scott The time has gone by when an Administration can afford to be openly heedless of the. rights of organized labor, and the attitude of the I'nion li on Works toward labor has been such that Senator Hanna has been able, by industriously throwing a searchlight on it, to bring about a condition where President Hooeeveit could not safely manliest anything like favor for the corporation, Tbe situation has not been made any l-ss difficult for the concern by tbe personality of its most aggrekslve representative, licury T. Scott; for Mr. Scott has come to be thought ot in Washington as a bundle cf offiiisive self-couceii, devoid of manners, tact, carnation aud breadth of mind a boor among the cultured, a bully among tbe poor. JIF.Mil T.

AND TUB Il.tMA Thf p.irlWt (iiimttpI hptu-ppn S.r.:itnr I Hanna and tbe Nulls is being recalled to-1 cay in ihc light of the serious blow just in alt the I'nion Iron Works. While the strike of iron-workers was iu progress in )M1 tor a reasonably short work oay In the establishment controlled by tbe Scotts, Hanna. as chairman of the Republican National Committee, concluded that continuance of the trouble would be bad for "the party," and that the owed it to the Kepublican managers to consider party welfare and to cease arbitrary resistance of the Just proposals of their vbikmro. Accordingly, he nquested lUnry Scott to give a willing ear to peuce eve mi re s. ''tt'c'll do nothing of the kind," snapped Scott, "ana whai in more, I'd thank you to l.eep 'your nose ou.t uf our voids to that effect.

"As to my nose." rttorled the gentleman from' Ohio. "I'll keep it where I please, and vou may learn a bit later that your 'busl. i tsi' is not so exclusively your own as you now appear to think it." i ivir i r.DKit no iM Kitt t-oon the offended Seuator found it to be properly his but-lness as head of the Civic redeiatlon to intrude' his nose into the I pign Iron Works tangle. The Federation bad come before the nation as a peacemaker i between warring capital and militant la-j bor, and the conditions in far San Francisco afforded a fair occasion for testing its value. The Scotts did not like the notion; of having Senator Hanna, in the role of president of the Civic Federation or am! ether role, probing into their "business," of course, but they could not safely manifest their intolerance of trade-unionism in the fierce glare Hanna's Federation was able to throw upon them.

So he probed. Finally, through the existence of thJ Federation. a temporary peacewasarranged. The trfkers agreed to go to work for the Scotts on condition that the Scotts would submit the dispute to arbitration the ianu committee to lie the arbitrator. spring, in pursuance of the agreement, the strikers resumed their employ-UK nt; but from that time to this tho Soutu have held aloof from arbitrationhave neg-li cted to lay their oase before the Civic cleverest of all devils Ik opportun-iy." said Vieland.

The bad opportunity. The needs 4'f the poor toilers gave it them. Their premise was writ In water. A OF KI)l(TIOV tjut of the breach of luith came further Ifusinets for the Hauua nose. The Senator from the land of buckeyes set himself 10 work spreading the giaif tidings of the unkindly course of tbe Scotts toward organized labor, and sprinkling the ttdings with ohoiee texts from the gospel of partisan need fpr keeping up appearances 0t rlendliuciss for the men bo work.

He found tb ground ijuite ready for the tjeeii wished to sow. For years Washington has felt it to be true that the ulon Iron Works could le countid on as giving latwji i he longest hours and the poorest pav the workers eould be driven to accept, and tj)i Burliness and tyranny of Henry T. Scott not at all new to the Federal authorities who deal with the making of warships. Men of affairs at the capital were prepared, therefore, to give ready credence to reports unfavorable to the I'uion Iron Works in matters ancting labor. The Administration Is not very responsive to Senator Hanna.

but it is vastly more responsive to him thin to any man or set of men In sympathy with the Seotu; and the Prcsidmt cannot anord. moreover, to be outdone by tbe crafty Ohio leader in manifestations of anxiety to Hand for trade-unionism where the capitalists antagonised don't toujit for much in national convention of the Republican party and tbe Scotts don't count at all, Therefore, the Roosevelt nose La thown a sturdy eagerness 'o follow the Hanna nose here an there in the "business" of tbe Wetern ship builders. OH Xei.ber Seuator Hanna nor President Roosevelt ha encountered any difficulty in finding evidence of the long-continued enmity of the Scotts for the union principle, of collective bargaining; and In the failure of the I'nion Iron Woiks to keep faith with the workmen on strike, by calling upon the Civic Federation to consider tbe old dispute and to arbitrate, there was abundant justification for the fear that to give a new tract to the Scotts would be to give it to a corporation almost certain soon to be embroiled in another strike. An interesting showing against the Scotts was made when the Administration took up the roaner o' delayed work.

After tbe eighth to tenth month it becomes chronic and Is then incurable by.

"I told them," said Little, "that I was not after damages; that all I wanted was to show in the courts that tbe Western Unioti had allowed Itself to bo tampered with In tbe Interests and am satisfied at the dictation of Charles Lloyd. No conclusion was arrived at, but I shall overlook nothing In my determination to show up the Western Union Company In the courts, if that be possible under the law." TIIK MISNSAUE A ITHHKl.U. Tbe message In question was sent to Horace Little by Fred Lloyd last Saturday morning, it read as follows: January 31.

To Horace Little, I'pland, Am under arrest on charge of Insanity on father's orders; ia. city jail. (Signed) KftED. This message was received at Upland, the telegraph and' railroad station for North Ontario at 11:50 Saturday morning. It was telephoned to Little's ranch and was received there by Mrs.

Little, Horace Little was in San Bernardino. At 12 o'clock Saturday this Identical message, but addressed on tbe envelope to "Hoi ace bole," was. Bent to the Hotel Stewart by the Western Union. There was no one by tbe name of Horace Dole, so tbe message was taken back to the Western Union offtce. During the afternoon Horace Little was malting diligent inquiries for a message which he was expecting from Fred Lloyd.

Finally, at 4:30 Saturday afternoon tbe Western Union addressed this message properly to "Horace Little, Hotel Stewart," and delivered it. Mean- promptly the shooting of Mr. Lloyd would not have occurred. 1 will not discuss that point." Little makes the further assertion that Superintendent Grow of the Electric Light and Gas Company has been helping Charles Lloyd by obtaining telephone messages not intended for him. OillOW IX TH FIGHT.

He says, too, that last Sunday evcuinj Superintendent Grow pulled a pistol on him in Glow's house, during an interview between Little, Grow and Attorney AnnabU, the latter being employed by the senior Lloyd. Mrs. Grow and Mr. Annable'a stenographer were present. "Grow stood talking with me," declared Little, "with his right hand thrust uuder.

the lapel of his coat. I said finally, -'GYovy wby, don't you take your band out? What have you got It there In reply Grow pulled a revolver from under his coat.

'Why, Charley I said, 'what do you take nteifor? Tbrow away your gun.

I could have killed you three or four time to-day if I wanted to. 1 never carry a gun nuver did carry one. You are making a fool of Soon afterward Grow put bis revolver back in his pocket." There is constant Inquiry for Ethel Lloyd. Miss Lloyd Is fifteeu years old, a daughter of Charles Lloyd, aud full sisttr of Fred Lloyd, She has disappeared. She attended a private school iu Berkeley last year and lived nt her father's home In that town.

Fred Lloyd and Horace Little say that her father has had ber spirited away from Berkeley aud hidden because she knows something regarding the trouble that he would keep from that portlou of the family arrayed aguiust bim. KOI (iHT HIM SISTUR. "It was not to see my father's wife, but to find Ethel," said Fred Lloyd to-day, "that I left San Bernardino for Berkeley last Saturday. 1 am informed that Ethel was at my lather's house In Berkeley when I arrived there, but 1 was taken into custody on tho insanity charge telegraphed by my father, and when I got out of the Jail Ethel had I will move the earth, to find her. 1 have not seeu her for a year, though I have been getting letters from her at brief Intervals." Charles Lloyd, the wounded capitalist, hovers between death and recovery at the Marlborough Hospital.

Late this afternoon Drs. Heard and Hazajett dreseed Lloyd' wouuds. He stood the ordeal well, neither his temperature nor his pulse materially In creasing. But the surgeons fear for bis heart. The condition of the vital organ prevented tho administration of an anesthetic when the bullets were probed for and the shattered bone' and foreign substances were removed.

The physicians have failed to ascertain whether the spinal cord as clipped or scraped by the piece of broken vertebrae that lodged against tberrd as a result of the entrance of the bullet. Dr: Hazlett, the surgeon In charge of the case, refuses to give out bulletins, and says he is "too busy to be bothered." Dr. Heard saya be cannot give out bulletins because he is the junior in the case. It was learned at the hospital tonight that no fatal complications are Imminent, but that it would be wholly misleading to say that Mr. Lloyd will recover.

The patient hai taken nothing but liquid nourishment spoonfuls of iced champagne, alternated with malted milk and pano peptin since the shooting. Herkelrath, the electric company's chief lineman, still remains on guard duty at the door of tbe hospital. He baa not left that post, save for brief sleep, since the shooting. BADLY WOUNDED MAN SHOWS GREAT VITALITY. REDDING.

February 4 Lee Barnes, the young man who engaged George Silvertborn in a duel with knives last Saturday morning at Silvenhorn ferry, on the Hit river, is surprising everybody by not dying. SUverthorn, who was stabbed by Barnes, was burled Monday on the McCloud Hver. and Barnes, two ugly gashes in his abdomen, was supposed to follow Ms victim quickly. This afternoon he is reported to be In good spirits and on th way to recovery. Wi care and attention he will get well and probably have to stand trial for killing Sllverthorn.

Clio Coroner's verdict has not been offleially returnfd to litrlct Attorney, and his offiee does not know whai action will be taken towards prosecution until It has been reeeived. Juht now there ar threa murder eases op hand lii Shasta couniy, something out knows In the history of ibt county before. strikers at and In return for it bad been deprived of a lucrative position by the man who now is Governor of California. "Was that Intimidation?" be asked. Goodrich of Pasadena opined any man who favored the Copus amendment was not a good friend of the worklngman, but did not elucidate further.

Mabany of San Francisco refuted the insinuation that United Labor favors the use of force or violence in strikes. He alluded to tbe attitude of Howard as that of a man "standing bebiud a fence surrounding corporate inrtuenees." Finn of San Francisco said that be and his confreres wanted tbe bill to be passed iu such shape that It would enjoin unjust Judges from Issuing unjust injunctions in labor disputes. "For after the injunction ia issued." Finn added, "Its effect is tho same whether it is Just orunjust.P Dorsey of Kern said he had been opposed by a labor candidate for tbe Assombly, but be could afford to be just to bbtb labor and capital, and he would support the Copus proposal because be believed it was Just to both. HOODWINKING TUB PEOPLE. "Several of the gentlemen who have opposed this amendment," Dorsey continued, "have emphasized the announcement that they are of the plain people.

Certainly they cannot be with the plain people and vote against a measure that ia indorsed by tbe labor organizations. Tbey are simply trying to hoodwink the people who sent them bete, and are making a very miserable failure of the effort." "I will support this amendment to the amendment," said Dougherty of San Benito, "because to kill it would be to kill the purpose of the bill." Allen' of San Francisco also spoke as a member of the judiciary committee. He believed that by leaving tbe words "or in- tiiuidailon" in the bill any Judge would be privileged to interpret their meaning as he pleases. "The-workingmen, as 1 have found them, are fair minded and ask for only what they consider their rights," Allen add ed. "If in seeking their rights tbey are forced to the wall tbey will figbt, but we cannot blame them for that, because it ia American." Drew of Fresno spoke against the Copus amendment and said the original amendment by Johnson was approved by representatives of the San Francisco Labor Council.

"They were given a careful hearing," aaid Drew, "and when shown the amendment and asked If It suited them they re plied in tbe affirmative, maklug no objection whatever to the Insertion of the words "or intimidation." Traber, of Fresno also advocated the Johnaou amendment, on the ground that it "clarified the intent of a fill which deals with the prejudices of men and for that reason should be plain and specific." IHUKD PASS AUK OK IH Then Johnson took the floor and urged the passage of the bill as it came from the Judiciary committee of which be is the chairman. He said: "If we'ameud the bill as proposed by Copus we will express distrust of tbe honesty of our courts and when we cease to trust the integrity of our Judges we are nearing tne end of our Republic. Judges have made mistakes, it is true, for they are but human, but still I have faith In our courts. We must trust them to construe the Taws in the interest of justice and we must uphold law and order. "This bill was brought to me by Walter Macarthur and Russell I.

Wlsler, who said they bad been delegated by the San Francisco Labor Council to get the bill Introduced, and they requested me to perform that service for them, I took the measare on condition that I be allowed to amend it if I so desired, and they agreed to that. I favored tbe bill as it was drawn until I walked down the street and saw men walking up and down in front of hotels and Intimidating passersby, and against the pat i onization of these places, and then I concluded the bill must be amended. And Mr. Wlsler came to me here on the floor of this House and said in the presence of Assembiyman Higgins and Pyle that he approved the amendment I had made. "The statements of these men, Macarthur and place against the statements of any men on this floor.

Their attitude as representatives of the organized labor of San Francisco shows that organized labor ia not opposed to my amendment." IXTFHI'RKTIXCi A TERM. Murphy of San Francisco said that the Judiciary Committee consists of nineteen members, who every one of them might give a different interpretation to the term "intimidation," as used In the bill. "Can we then be surprised," be asked, "if the term Is perverted by biased Judges? Why, any person with a mind disturbed by any cause might imagine himself intimidated. We have had police Intimidation of the teamaters who were on strike in San Francisco, but no court could be found to enjoin it as Buch. Macarthur and Wlsler may be satisfied, aa individuals, with Mr.

Johnson's amendment, but the mass of the labor men do not want It. And for the enlightenment of Mr. Johnson and other gentlemen of this Assembly I will state that the amendment has not been submitted to either the San Francisco Labor Council or the State Federation of Labor, and therefore it cannot carry the approval of these bodies." Copus concluded the debate by explaining the object of bis amendment and incidentally atluding to the labor council's alleged ap-r roval of tbe meaaure as it came from the committee. "We want trial by instead of trial by injunction," he sp.id. "Mr.

Johnson bas deplored the uae of the boycott by labor, but he should remember there are boycotts and boycotts. Does be knew that a blacklist is maintained by his own corporation, the Southern Pacific?" Johnson jumped to bis feet and angrily began to enter a protest, when Copus withdrew bis remark. "I had a talk Ith Macarthur and Wlsler," Copus continued, "after this bill wa amended by Mr. Johnson, and they told me mey wouiu go at once to San Francisco and lay the matter before the Labor Council. Well, they went there and attended a meeting of the council, but not one word did either of them say in regard to what had been done with this bill in the Judiciary ommittee.

Ana upon Ibis floor I declare I do not believe these men, Macarthur and Wislcr. are honem, and I denounce tbem as traitors to tne cause of labor. (oixrit, UEHIXU BII.I..
