VETOED T'-tE EDUCATIONAL BILL He Is Also Charged By Them With Helping to Form the Coal Trust De spite the Protests of Railroad Men. An Article That Is Attracting At tention. (From a Special Correspondent.) Washington, Oct. 7. Not only Is organized labor in Pennsylvania op posing the election of Robert E. Patti- Bon, but laboring men all over the coun try appear to be keeping a very close eye on the outcome of the Pennsylvania campaign. The Knights of Labor in particular are fighting Ex-Governor Pattison by every means in theii power. The last issue of"The Journal," the official organ of the Knights of Labor, contained a page article from the pen of John W. Hayes, general secretary treasurer of the order. It is a direct attack upon Ex-Governor Pattison for his hostility to laboring men and labor unions while he was governor before, < The article goes onto prove that Mr. Pattison is an enemy to popular edu cation as shown in his vetoing of the Compulsory Education Bill when he sat in the executive chair. Mr. Hayes in his article on Pattison's hostility to education says: VETOED EDUCATIONAL BILL "The legislative committee of the or ganization (Knights of Labor) had this matter before it for consideration. A bill was prepared and Introduced, juggled with for some time, and altered and amended, butv finally passed both houses of the legislature. True it was not all that we desired; but it was a bill that, once a law could be amended from time to time until all that was desired in the way of a good law had been secured. In this, as in all formei cases, Pattison was pleaded with to sign the bill as it came from the legis lature. But in this he was obdurate. His interest in having children at the coal breakers instead of in the school room was paramount and he vetoed the bill." The general master workman of the Knights of writing at this time on the action of Governor Pattison said: "If Governor Pattison could have traveled through the state and loitered awhile by the road-side he might have heard the hiss of the serpent that is coiling itself around children of the poor and fastening its poisonous fangs upon the vitals of the commonwealth. Whether he knew it or not his action pleased those who would make the chil dren of men hewers of wood and draw ers of water until oblivion, which comes only through drink or death, which would ease the strain." In an editorial in"The Journal of the Knights of Labor" the following ap pears: , WEIGHED AND FOUND WANTING. "Ex-Governor Pattison is again a candidate for governor ot Pennsyl vania, and the question of his fitness, his honesty, and his friendship for the cause of the toiler is to be weighed and decided by the voters, and especially by those voters who are workingmen. When he was last a candidate for the same important office, he had the strong support of organized labor and was elected, and he failed us in our hour of need! "He is the sponsor for the coal trust and was at its baptism, and he probably still favors It in the prolonged strike now proceeding. "Every friend of labor and those who exist by the well doing of the toilers should be united in one phalanx against the coal combine. They are united to crush organized labor, and all who love fair play and fair pay must unite against them and those who side with them. FAVORED THE COAL TRUST. "Judging the present by the past, It Is fair to aßßume that Pattison is a side partner of the coal combine, or, at all events, is favorable to it, as he was in 1891-2. He evidently favored the coal barons then, in spite of his oath to sup port the constitution of the state of Pennsylvania, which was nullified when the combine was organized, and the fact was officially called to his at tention. He was furnished with evi dence and maps showing that compe tition was being wiped out and the law, which was quoted, evaded and dis obeyed. "President Roosevelt said in an in terview, published in the Philadelphia Record, Sept. 6, 1902, that 'There is a remedy' for the settlement of the great coal strike. This is doubtless true, for the president must be well Informed on the legal and political aspect of the strike. What chance would there be to end a strike if Pattison was gover nor or one that might occur during his term of office? If the coal barons want ed to end It, Pattlson would surely ba on hand to obey their doslres. LABOR WOULD PLEAD IN VAIN. "But labor might plead in vain, as It did on former occasions. His ear was deaf to the pleadings of labor and would be again. If a man cheats you once it Is his fault; if he cheats you the second time, you are to blama for giving him tha opportunity. Pattlsos has beat tried and found to be an un faithful friend. His face was turned from us when we asked hie aid to do an act of justice. He has been weighed In the balance and found wanting. No workingman should give him a vote. Bury him under such an avalanche of ballots that his name will never be whispered again in either state or national politics." The above is the severest arraign ment by labor leaders of any candidate for governor of Pennsylvania in recent years, and is attracting general atten tion in every centre of organized labor in the country. FLAT FOOTED FOR FREE TRADE The Party of Robert E. Pattlson De clares Unequivocally In Favor of Unrestricted Foreign Competition. The prosperity of Pennsylvania Is due to Republican rule and not to Dem ocratic mismanagement. The Demo cratic party in 1860 went out of power in this state and left a debt of $40,- 000,000 for the people to struggle with. Now Robert E. Pattlson comes along and asks that that party be put again in power. The Democratic party stands for free trade, the Republican party for protection. A vote for Pennypacker is a vote for the party of prosperity, a vote for Pattlson is an encouragement to the tariff-smashers and free silver dreamers, of whom R. E. Pattison was one of the chief. If this is doubted, read the following from the Albany Journal: In the preparation of the Democrat ic campaign text book at least, just issued by the Democratic congres sional committee, Clevelandism has exercised the prevailing influence. For the first time there is made, for the Democratic party, a straightforward, unequivocal, emphatic declaration in favor of free trade. There is no talk about "tariff revision," "tariff reform" or "tariff for revenue only;" reciprocity is simply declared to be "a sham and a hum-bug," while of free trade it is said that it "would open our own markets to benefit our own country. It is as serted that "the greatest good to the greatest number requires that there be no barriers in trade in order that goods may be as cheap as possible and the cost of living be reduced to a mini mum." That "goods as cheap as possible" would mean wages as low as possible, that the opening of our markets to all the products of foreign cheap labor would mean destruction to our Indus tries, and that the reduction of the cost of living to a minimum would result in depriving thousands of American work ingmen of even the minimum required to defray the cost, are facts which the Democratic text books Ignores; bn. which the American people have in their minds. The Democratic congressional com mittee is entitled to such credit as Is due for frankness. While it proposes the destruction of our prosperity wuich has developed under the Republican policy of protection for home indus tries, the pauperization of American labor, the ruin of American capital, the enrichment of foreign nations at the expense of the United States, the retrogression of this nation to the con dition of a debtor nation, it states Its proposition without circumlocution in tended to befog the minds of the peo ple as to the real purpose of the Demo cratic party. Free trade, complete abo lition of the tariff, admission of all foreign products to free competition with American products—that is the proposition which is squarely set be fore the people of the United States. American thought will instantly re vert to the condition that was precipi tated by the election of Mr. Cleveland in 1892, when nothing nearly so radical was proposed and when the tarifT law soon thereafter enacted by the Demo cratic congress, the so-called Wilson law, was after all, though it made a reduction of the duty on many Imports, as a whole a protective measure. The Democratic declaration for free trade, absolute free-trade, will make the question whetner this country will uphold the policy that has made it prosperous or reject that policy and cast prosperity to the winds, the para mount issue in the congressiolal elec tions this fall and in the presidential contest two years hence. The Ameri can people made a terrible mistake In 1892; they will not repeat it in 1902 or in 1904. PAOT3 NOT FICTION.
