' "Tho Charter of Industrial Freedom"
was the term applied by Secretary of
labor William B. "Wilson to the Clayton
mntl-tnist law In an address before tho
convention of tho American Federation
Of Labor, In Horticultural Hall.
Air. Wilson told the convention of the
work being dono by his department. He
explained the much discussed question of
why the Lincoln Memorial la being built
by non-union labor and outlined tho
principles which govern the work of his
department In the settlement of Indus
trial disputes. '
After being Introduced to tho delegates
as "our Bill," by President Oompers, tho
Secretary was escorted to tho platform
by Vice President Jnmes Duncan and
former Vice President John Mitchell.
Criticising those "prejudiced employers
ivho still look upon their employes ns part
of their machinery and plant equipment,"
Secretary Wilson rnld:
- "Tho machine Is so constructed tnat mo
employer knows exactly what Its woar
and tear Is and what Its breaking point
may bo. Not so with the human being
operating tho machine. If you drive the
f --human machine to the breaking point
nothing can replace It.
LABOIl NOT A COMMODITY.
"It la this principle which the Clayton
Anti-Trust law enunciated. It Is this
principle, which will forever establish tho
truth that labor Is not a commodity to bo
'treated In the same manner as every other
commodity, as a pound of tea, sugar or a
can of oil.
"The defense which the employer has
thus far sought In obtaining Injunctions
gainst organized labor was that he con
sidered the labor power which he em
ployed as a property right.
"We must recognize labor as a part
and parcel of the community. For the
first tlmo In the history of this or any
other country Is It recognized that labor
la not a commodity and cannot be treated
as such. For this recognition labor has
struggled for at least the 43 years dur-
Ing which I have been associated with
-tne laDor movement, uur progress nas
'.been slow and painful. Large bodies ai
rways move slowly. But this progress has
been due entirely to the militant activi
ties of organized labor through Its trade
Junlons."
Speaking of the work of tho Depart
.ment of Labor, Secretary Wilson said the
department was striving to obtain In
dustrial Justice not only to labor but to
the employers of labor.
"But," he declared, "while we desire
industrial peace we realize that ther
' can bo no permanent Industrial peace that
Js not based upon Industrial Justice to
v rlabor."

ADDRESSES "FELLOW UNIONI8TS"
f "I have been reproached by soma em
ployers and employers' associates," con-
"U.-.-t'nued Mr. Wilson, "for addressing you,
en various occasions, as fellow trade
unionists. I would not change that salu
tation or any of tho statements I made
to you on the rights of labor down to
the statement that every title to property
Is a law created and a. law protected
title. The same elements that criticize
tna for addressing you as trade unionists
also assert that the Department of Labor
(a partisan to labor."
Mr. Wilson proceeded to explain the
building of the Lincoln Memorial with
nonunion labor.
"In carrying out the purpose of my de
partment," said, Mr. Wilson, "one of the
nrt steps that wo took was to communi
cate with the other departments of the
Government, asking them to Inform the
Department of Labor of every contract
for work granted by them in order that
we may be able to ascertain whether or
not the eight-hour law on Government
work was being applied In carrying out
the work of those contracts.
"In passing the eight-hour law on Oov
jernment work we met with various obsta-
rv nn tne noor or. congress."
That Samuel Gompers will be re
elected president of the American Fed
elation of Labor, although ha will be
japoe4 by a candidate representing a
ti&Uml element, is the opinion of many
delegates.
Officers for the ensuing year will be
ghesen tomorrow. It has been freely
jH-cdlcted that Oompers' opponent tor
the presidency will, be Max Hayes, of
lit International Typographical Union,
who WAS a. candidate at the Reehester
convention two years ago.
Socialist will also put up candidates
&the Bxecutive Counoll. They deelsra
will at toast elect William H. Jobn

fjUtfctu ef Machinists, la opposition to
Jjune QConnsiI.

Wednesday, when the question of rais

convention which promises to excite con
siderable discussion. That Is the ques
tlon of the eight-hour day. The progres
sives will demand the convention go on
record as favoring tho legislative enac
tion of the eight-hour day. President
Gompers and the Executive Council nre
bitterly opposed to the enaction of the
eight-hour day. by law. air. aompers con
tends such a procedure would deprive the
labor Unions of their fighting spirit.
The progressives are ready to fire some
broadsides on the subject. According to
ono of them, Mr. Gompers' opposition to
the eight-hour law has resulted In tho
defeat of such proposed lawn In Oregon,
Washington and California, Tho radicals

convention.
SPEAKERSHIP NOT
CAUSING LEADERS
MUCH ANNOYANCE
Organization Chieftains Slate
Philadelphian to Get Place
Unless Rural Districts De
mand Recognition.
The selection of a. Speaker for tho next
House may not be made for several
weeks, aocordlng to Republican State
leaders who wero leaving Philadelphia
this morning after attending tho Clover
Club banquot last night. Klthcr William
H.Wllson, of Philadelphia, who hns the
support of tho Vnres. or It. I llmmood.
of MoICean, will bo tho choice of tho Itc
publlcan chiefs. It was said:
Although no conference wns held, the
question wns threshed out by leaders
from all parts of Pennsylvania In In
formal dlscuscslons preceding tho ban
quet. As a result of theso discussions,
James I. Woodward, of Allegheny, In
formed his friends ho was not a candl
dote for the place.
His withdrawal is duo to the fact that
Allegheny County will bo recognized in
tho Legislature by tho selection of Sonn
tor Kline as president pro tcm of tho
Senate, and narrows tho Speakership
situation to the question of whether the
selection will come to Philadelphia or
will go to a country district.
The candidacy of Richard J. Baldwin,
of Delaware County, has been on the
wane since Dclawnro County wns recog
nized In tho "slating" of Thomas H.
Garvin for chief clerk of tho next House.
Both Senator Penrose and Senator Mc
Nlchol will support Wilson, said Republi
can leaders who discussed tho Speaker
ship yosterday, provided the country dis
tricts do not make too strong a demand
for recognition. If they make a strong
enough demnnd, Hapgood will bo decided
upon, they said. This will servo the
double purpose, they pointed out. of
recognizing the country districts In an
Important selection, and of having a
"safe" man for Speaker, who will enable
the Republican lenders to carry out a pro
gram of compromise legislation.
Mlchaael J. Ryan Is being groomed to
be a candidate in tho municipal election
next year, according to politicians. There
Is considerable speculation In political
circles as to what office tho City So
licitor will seek. Several Democratic
lieutenants said today that Mr. Ryan
was planning to enter the race for tho
mayoralty.
Others said he would be a candidate for
re-election ns City Solicitor. The most
persistent rumor, however. Is that Mr.
Ryan will soon announce his candidacy
for one of the four Common Pleas Judge-
snips wnicn win oe mieu at the election
next year.
Local option has split the Democratic
Club, and tho Board of Directors will
soon call a special election to determine
the Issue. Local option, with the county
as a unit, was one of the principal Is
sues brought out by the Democrats In
the campaign this fall. Early In the cam
paign this year the Board of Directors
abolished the club buffet. The members,
who were disgruntled at the time, raised
no protest, bocause they thought the ac
tion was taken In accordance with the
wishes of Vance C. McCormlck, the
Democratic nominee for Governor.
Immediately after the election, how
eVor, the members who favored the buf
fet started an agitation to have It re
stored. At a meeting of tho Board of
Directors held Wednesday night a motion
wan carried to restore the buffet. Tho
vote was 7 to 6, however, and because
It was so close the officers of the club
have decided to call the special elec
tion. The "dry" faction in the meantime
Is circulating petitions to keep the buffet
out ot tne clUD.
The Republican party will keep Its cam
paign pledges, said Senator Penrose yes
terday upon his return from his post
election vacation. "I am Interested." he
said, "in seeing that the pledges made by
the Republican party In Its State plat
form shall be fulfilled to the letter,
"We shall all work to that end. There,
should be absolute harmony between the
Republican Executive and the Republican
majority In the State Legislature. Gov-ernor-eleot
Brumbaugh should be given
loyal and cordial support .that his ad
ministration may be a splendid suocess.
"The people believed In his sincerity
of purpose and the Legislature should
paid hlra In every way possible In put-
unK into eueci an ot tne party pledges."
The Senator would not discuss the
Speakership. Among his visitors were
Congressmen-elect William II. Coleman,
from the old Dalzell district; David B.
Johns, Secretary of the Commonwealth
Robert McAfee, Itlohard, Hardy and
Chester D. Potter, from the Allegheny
district; Senator E. K. Beldleman, of
Dauphin; Senator William K. Crow, chair
man of the Republican State Committee;
W. Harry Baker, secretary of the State
Committee; Thomas H. Garvin, chairman
ot the Delaware County Committee; State
Senator-elect W. C. McConnell, of North
umberland; State Insurance Commissioner
Johnson, of Montgomery; Dairy and Food
Commissioner Foust, and Richard J.
Baldwin. Senator Penrose said that he
will return to Washington as soon as he
can to help plan for the next national
campaign.
Republican leaders today expressed con
cern over a letter received by one of
the officers of the Brumbaugh Citizens'
Committee from Dootor 'Brumbaugh, who
Is In Florida on a vacation, asking- that
too committee ba kept together.
They said tbU action proved the Gov-
rnor-leot wished to he as independent
as possible during his administration, and
that h was keeping intact the force ef

In bis campaign. The Uovruoj--9lct, In

Cooke Says Resolution to
Rid Streets of Poles Has
No Effect on Rate Case
Hearing.
Director of Public Works Cooke ex
pressed the opinion today that a reso
lution Introduced In Councils yesterday.
aimed to compel public utilities corpora
tions to remove nil poles and wire from
the city's streets, would not aid tho
case of the Philadelphia Electric Com
pany before the State Public Service Com
mission. It was regarded by Independent coun
cllmen as likely tho electric company
might cite the terms of the resolution as
reason why rates should-not be reduced at
this time In accordance with the ' com
plaints lodged before the commission by
Director Cooke.
In discussing the resolution today, Di
rector Cooke said;
"There are reasons for bellevlpg In
the course of the next few months the
Philadelphia Electric Company might be
willing to put part of Its aerial lines In
Philadelphia underground, but It Is not
likely a move of this kind at this time
will In any material way affect the rate
case.
"A company with outstanding securities
of approximately 130,000,000 and tangible
assets of considerably less than one-halt
that amount always keeps busy."
REASON FOR RESOLUTION.
Robert Smith, Common Councilman, of
the 36th Ward, who Introduced the resolu
tion, asserted today the measure was not
Intended to have any bearing on the elec
tric rate case before the 6tate Commis
sion. , .
Smith is an Organization adherent, al
though he was rempved from tho chair
manship of the Highway Committee of
Councils when Hugh Black, former .Re
publican leader of tho 83th Ward, fell Into
disfavor of the Vares, '
"I Introduced the resolution only he
cause I want to see the .poles and wires
removed from the streets," said Smith.
"An ordinance that has become a dead
letter prohibited the erection of poles or
wires, excepting by the city, atter Jan
uary 1, 1SS6. I don't think any supple
mentary action of Councils ever nullified
the provisions ot that ordinance. Down
In my ward there are now tour poles to
a block, where a few years ago there
were only three.
"When new streets are graded and
paved, conduits should be constructed to
conduct all telephone and eleetrlo wires
to prevent erection of poles- I dd not
have the Philadelphia Electric Company's
case In mind when I Intrpdueed the reso
lution." . .

NATIONAL BREWERS
ENLIST IN SALOON
'UPLIFT' CAMPAIGN
Edward A. Schmidt, of this
City, Advocates Family
"Beer Parlors" and Op
poses Secretive Methods.
HOW A BIG BREWER
REGARDS THE SALOON
Beer Is an Industrial barometer. It
tells the business condition ot the
country. j-
The saloon Is the football of politics.
Germanize the American saloon.
Strip It of shutters, blinds and alley
entrances.
Clean tho present day saloon or es
tablish separate beer halls.
Make the beer saloon aa attractive
as the Ice cream parlor a place where
a man can bring his wife and chil
dren. From the speech of' President
E. A. Schmidt, of Philadelphia, before
the United States Brewers' annual
convention.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 20.-Brewers
from all parts of the country, attending
the National Brewers' annual convention
here, have enlisted In tho "saloon up
lift" movement advocated by President
Edward A. Bchmldt, ot Philadelphia, as
a safeguard to their idustry.
President Schmidt's suggestion that
the saloon be placed on a par with an Ice
cream parlor is considered' one of the
most Important protection Ideas advo
cated In the convention.
The brewers, who came principally for
the purpose of planning a campaign to
counteract opposition to liquor traffic, are
In favor of the Schmidt program.
The Philadelphia brewer made his sug
gestlons during his annual address. He
defended beer as a harmless beverage
and deplored that It was constantly asso
ciated with places where more fiery
drinks were sold.
He advocated the Germanising or Euro
peanlxlng of the saloon Into the "bier
halle." where men could bring their fam
ilies, and referred to the.posslble dlssolu-
1 e .. M1""8 o' the "vinous liquor
Z maL y.? Bee th day-" ald.
"when malt liquor and other harmless
beverages will be dispensed from the
same places,"
He said also that he, thought It a nils
take for saloons to be made aeoretlve
tas they are with screens and ground-
X irfh,,Ve .' ai0mr WWtructed as
to "hide nothing."- He said he believed
the National Brewer' Association would
give the heartiest support to every move
ment that insisted upon the saloon be
ing conducted in an orderly manner.
It Is generally conceded' he said,
that the beer business Is an industrial
barometer and from this standpoint a
study gf the beer sales for the fiscal
7T .TUaning trom Ju'- 1M. to June,

POLICE NOW SEEK
MAN OF 35 SEEN
WITH SLAIN BOY
Detectives Nearly Ready to
Drop Theory That Aged
Criminal Murdered Eight-year-old
Albert Kraft.
A new clue to the murderer of S-year-
old Albert Kraft, of mi South Fallon
street,- was obtained today by detoctlves
nt work on the cose, from Christopher
Copeland, of 6:d street nnd Elmwood
avenue.
CopeUnd told the detectives, he saw a
mnn and n boy ho believes to have been
Kraft standing In a vacant lot nt 66th
street nnd Olbson avenue nt G o'clock
on Wednesday afternoon, tho day of tho
murder. The man was nbout 35 years
old.
Tho police today were nearly ready to
nbnudon tho theory that young Kraft wns
killed by an old man. They bellove tho
boy could have put up such strong re
sistance that nn old man could not liavo
subdued him. The theory has not yot
been dropped, however.
Two young men who were working near
tho sewer arch beneath which tho body
wus found yesterday morning wore taken
to City Hall today and questioned by
Captain of Detcctlvcn Cameron nnd De
tective Emanuel, of tho "murder squad."
It was thought they could throw some
light on how tho body came under the
arch, but they knew nothing about It nnd
accordingly wero released.
Dr. William S. Wndsworth. Coroner's
physician, today declared after an autopsy
on me Doay at tne Morgue, that the boy
was smoinereu, nna not strangled.
Lato yesterdny tho police arrested
William A. 8wan, 78 years old, of 6161
Gray's avenue, on a clue furnished by
0-year-old Frederick Sykes, 1443 Fallon
street, a companion of the murdered boy.
An hour's questioning developed evidence
on which tho aged man was set at lib
crty, and tho search began anew.
That there was nnother old man who
hnuntcd Bnrtrnm'u Garden nnd prowled J
aiong mo railroad emimnlimont near the
deserted culvert, the police learned while
investigating today. Information con
cerning tho new suspect wns given by
Cnnio Wnrdlck, n daughter of Mrs, Em
ma Wnrdlck, with whom Swan boarded.
BOA'S TELL, OF QUEER OLD MAN.
Boys who played In Bartram's Garden,
tho city park only a hundred yards from
tho deserted culvert, have described tho
sinister figure of nn old man who walks
rwlth a heavy stick and "shakes his
shoulders." Tho man has been seen fre
quently In tho neighborhood. On Sun
day morning some ono who answered the
description wont to tho homo of Mrs,
Gertrude Stewart, nt 58th street nnd Gib
son avenue, nnd nsked fcr something to
eat. Mrs. Stewart, alone In the house,
wiih frightened by his looks and slammed
the door.
Thnt he sought food from residents In
tho neighborhood Is looked upon aa evi
dence that he has no permanent home,
and tho search for him will be the more
dlftlcult. Tliose-who live In the vicinity
of 56th street nnd Gibson avenue' are a
neighborly sort, however, and queer fig
ures nro an oUdlty to be remembered -and
talked about Information and descrlpr
tlons are not lacking, (
GLOOMY SCENE OF TRAGEDY,
Awed crowds of tho curious gathered
at tho entrance to the dark culvert yes
terday watching the police at their work
and standing In the rain with eyes fasten
ed on the spot where little Albert Kraft
lost his life. A long wall: through a
rough field bristling with weeds Is neces
sary to reach tho culvert. At the top of
the depression leading to the place an
ancient road leads down Into a hollow
filled with broken bricks and tiles, the
ruins ot an oil refinery operated a half
century ago.
From the ruined refinery In the hollow
the culvert, about 10 feet wide and 15 feet
high, leads through the embankment and
to a fence barring the way to the Gulf
Refining Company's property. Up a hill
to the left lies the western boundary of
Bartram's Garden. There Is no sign of
human habitation to be seen from tho
bottom of the hollow. It would be hard
to find a lonelier spot within the bounda
ries of Philadelphia.
On Information from companions of the
murdered boy and neighbors who havo
seen the old man tb.e police are hosing
their hopes for today's search. The
scene of the murder was watched last
night in the hope the slayer would re
turn to the spot, and the neighborhood
was scoured for Information. Today
clues gathered last night will be run
down, and the police are looking for ar
rests before night. Thus far tliey are
Inclined to the theory that the crime
was committed by some one In the
neighborhood, and not by a tramn walk.

WOMEN 'EDUCATED' i
IN FOOD PROBLEMS

Miss Johnson Tells Specialty
Manufacturers Co-operation
is Needed Between
Them and Consumers.
The education of women along lineal
that will lead to co-operation between th
Consumer nnd the manufacturer of food
stuffs was urged today by Miss Helen
Louise Johnson, chairman of tho homo
economics department of tho General
Federation of Women's Clubs. She spokn
at the second day'B session of the sixth
annual convention of tho American Spe
clalty Manufacturers nt tho ' Bcllovua
Stratford.
Emphasizing the buying power of wo
men, Miss Johnson said they have "
right to know what they are buying."
"Manufacturers of certain kinds 08
foods," she said, "hnvo maintained
sllcnco when their products wore belus
attacked. This has created a falso Im
pression In the minds of tho consumers."
Miss Johnson said many of tho prod
ucts now considered unwholesome by
women nre really better than mnny that
have tho sanction of public opinion cre
ated by So-called puro food lists and the
food laws.
"The prosperity of the food manufacl
turer," said the speaker, "Is dependent
on tho education of women. Business
men nre afraid of women and opposa
equal suffrage becauso thoy realize that
