SOHANTOX. APnifi ISO!'. For governor of Pennsylvania, on the Issue of nn open Held mid fair play, JOHN P. ELKIN, of Indiana, subject to the will of the Republican masses. T Timely Counsel. lIIE Olyphant Record stiongly advlsesjagalnst the proposed Incursion of the Central ' Labor union Into politics on a separate labor party basis. It says: "One of U10 most dangerous tenden cies In u country like ours is the effort to divide the population Into classes. Our government in its entire makeup Is hostile to such nn Idea. Caste dis tinction cunnot prevail here success fully and it would bo a very sorry diy tor the country if It over should. The wage-earner today is often the employer and capitalist of tomorrow, and every ambitious toller should see in every attempt to divide our popu lation into classes a menace to his hopes and to his liberty. Simply on this ground alone the launching of such a political enterprise should be put out of mind. Better go slow gentlemen. But every man who knows the history of trades unionism, nnd who honestly deslies the success of such organizations will not be In :i huiry to start a labor party In this valley. This is not a new venture. It has been tiled before, and has al ways resulted disastrously to the unions. Scrjnton has had enough ex perience In this line to cause the older and wiser heads to doubt the wisdom of trying It again. U is not necessary to go Into particulars. They are really too sad a feature of our history to be brought for waul except upon the greatest necessity. The men v,ho sought to do these things years ngo have leceived the punishment for their notions; but the greatest suffer ing came to the organizations. Kvery labor movement that has gone Into politics wrecked itelf and brought loss to the unions." If there were a leal necessity for a labor third party, the formation of one would constitute u public service. Hut recognition of just labor claims is easily secured from the existing parties, thus obviating the need of another party. If it veie desired to uisrupi me labor movement in this region no better way could be selected than to encourage the movement for a labor party. It was a foregone conclusion when K. L. Fuller started to get control of the Western Maryland rallioad that he would get It. It Is a way he has. m S' Figures Worthy of Study. OJIE Interesting' deductions ure drawn by Bradstreet's from the recent report of the com missioner of labor dealing with the statistics of strikes and lockouts. First and chief Is that the strike as n weapon ot otfense by the employe is at best a dangerous one, costly to the em ployer, it is true, In many instances, but infinitely more costly, to the employe, not only because of the fact that sta tistics show that the employe In the mass loses two dollars to the employ er's one. Another conclusion Is that the risk of friction, in other'words, the dan ger of strikes occutrliig, seems to In- oiease us the number of hands em ployed In an Industry Increases. That there may be some connection between the character of the men employed as legards intelligence and the tendency to strike also is brought to mind when it Is Iearnvd that the, coal and coke In dustries are, basing the reasoning on twenty yenis" experience, most liable to strikes. The building trades, metal In dustries and transportation employes nro next most commonly alfeoted. Males, of coutse, largely exceed females in "industrial occupations, and it Is no surprise to leant that !)0 per cent, of all strlkeis In the past twenty yeats liavo been mules, while only 10 pur cent, have been females. It Is to be noted, however, that Industries employing largo proportions of employes suffer from strikes to a great degree. For instance, fully ouo-half of the strikers in the cotton, wonfen and silk goods In dustries have been females and 0110 tltlrjl, tq tNYo-lifths of tho clothing, car pcH, 'paper, rope, rubber and tobacco vworTteis weie women, Ifls shown by the teport that li.tiio.ooo employee were thrown out or employ niftU'Tiy tho "strikes and lockouts of thj'past twenty years, M per cent, by tllV'TIi?!'.. ("id the. loss In wages by euYployes In that timo was upward of tfdfi.'OOtf.OOd. In addition, tho stilkera, or thope locked out, obtained nearly $20, 009,000 from other organizations, which tva's presumably used in supporting the strikers. Tho loss or employora by the itrjkes and lockouts was over $112,000, )ou;t so that tho troubles may be said to have been twite us costly to the op. tltlvvs us to the employers. I'epn- Senator Bevcrldge's Speech. UK Ol'UNTNCl note of the Re publican iintiimnt campaign .

The senator presented Jlguies in some detail and with exceptional skill to prove that whatever evils may come to pass through abuse of power by those man aging these large lncoiporatlons, they are far outweighed by the public ad vantages.
