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.
