Labor Organizations In Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Elsewhere Qo On Record Against the Candidacy of Judge Yerkes. It has about dawned upon the Dem ocratic leaders that they made a grave mistake when they nominated Judge Yerkes for justice of the supreme court. They have discovered that he Is be ing bitterly opposed by organized labor throughout the state, and that many thousands of Democrats propose to cut him on election day. Yerkes has been scored by labor lead ers In every county in the common wealth, and the public action taken by the Central Labor Union of Phila delphia last week, in calling upon workingmen to vote against him sim ply opened the eyes of the Democratic leaders to what they are up against. It In recalled that when the late William M. Singerly was a candidate for governor, there was a secret or ganization of organized labor which when the polls were closed, demon strated the fact that they had gotten many thousands of Democrats to vote against their party's candidate simply because of his hostility to the typo graphical union. Singerly never knew what hit him until he began to analyze the returns and he found that in the district where the labor vote was strong he ran away behind his col leagues on the Democratic ticket. The labor leaders say they thought the Democratic party had been given a lesßon and that it would never again place upon its ticket a candidate whose election was opposed by the working men. Throughout Schuylkill, Luzerne, Westmoreland, Lawrence, Fayette, Dauphin, Allegheny and other counties where organized labor is strong, the word has been passed to enlighten the workingmen as to the opposition of Judge Yerkes. PHILADELPHIA WORKINGMEN ACT. In Philadelphia it is predicted that not less than 20,000 voters who might otherwise have cast their ballots for Judge Yerkea will vote for his oppo nent, Jußtice Potter, the Republican nominee. The Central Labor union of the Quaker City Includes the great allied building trades. Including the carpen ters, the painters, bricklayors and other mechanics, nearly every one of whom is a qualified voter. At a mooting last Saturday night of the Political Labor union in Moor head Hall, Pittsburg, resolutions were adopted condemning Judge Harman Yerkes a« an enemy to organized labor. The statement recalls the fact that Judge Yerkes sentenced rioters during the traction strike of 1896 to the peni tentiary, the sentences being regarded (us the severest ever imposed under such circumstances. The final clause of the resolution follows: "Resolved. That we call on the work ing classes all over the state, independ ent of affiliations, to vote for Mr. Pot ter and thereby secure for the state bench a man of broad views, of ad vanced ideas, and a man who is thor oughly in touch with the interest of kibor as well as capital; a man who will strain every effort in the behalf of an advanced and honest government." Evan Lloyd Is president and William P. Purdon is secretary of the Political Labor union of Allegheny county. PROTEST FROM READING. The Reading Labor Advocate, a newspaper published by workingmen and the organ of organized labor, in a recent editorial said: "Judges Yerkes, of Bucks county, who heads the Dem ocratic state ticket for the supreme court Judgeship, can hardly expect any support from organized labor in this state. Yerkes is now rounding out his second term on the bench in Bucks county and during the score of years he has worn the ermine, has given some very strong proofs that he has but very little sympathy for the labor unions. This was strongly demon strated during the tria)p of the m«a involved iii the Philadelphia street car strikes some years ago. "No Philadelphia judge cared to sit on any of the cases and Yerkes was called to preside over the court of common pleas. His remarks during the progress of the trials left drop ut different periods clearly Indicated that he had no love for the men who had ■ought to gain what every human be ing is entitled to —equitable wages and treatment worthy of human beings. "The Cigarmakers' union of the state also claims to have evidence it hand to prove that Yerkes has sen tenced union men to the Bucks county jail as tramps because they claimed to be without money and were hunting for employment within his domain. "Labor would be recreant to its own interests to elevate any person to the supreme bench of the state who pos sesses anything like a prejudice for i 4 right to organize."
