A LECTURE GIVEN DY MAYOR TO THE union LIEU TODAY After a Striking Moulder Was Fintd for Provoke, Zimmer- . man Warns Strikers Not to Cause Trouble.

POLITICS WONT GAG , HIM ZIMMERMAN SAYS Union Men Complain that Professional Strike-breakers Employed by the Company Are All Armed. Late yesterday afternoon the police took a band In the strike of the union moulders at Robinson and Company's plant, when Emmett Haas, a union moulder was arrested for provoking Walter Sheard, a non-union man employed In the foundry at Robinson's as a strike-breaker. It Is alleged on several occasions as the - non-union men were coming home from work. Haas and other union men congregated on the corner of Third and Main, and at other points hurling ,vlle names and Insults at the "scabs." Haas was fined $1 and costs by Mayor Zimmerman this morning.' The union men and "scabs" also were warned by Mayor Zimmerman to carefully avoid trouble or violence daring the strike. The Mayor said: "Any man has a legal right to earn his bread and butter no matter whether be Is a union man or what you call a "scab Don't you union men Inter fere with any man that Is going to work or you're coming before this court. When a man la able to hold his Job and deliver the goods to his employers, there Is no reason why hi can't work. ' avaA. am. a f at a ; tfwsj nvi aiieiinw winvn craws Too union men are. not to , be blamed for wanting to uphold your principles. If you can get $25 a day far year work It's all right with me, bet you bar gag to respect the other man, even If ha does not belong to your union. "Some men in my position would be afraid to Uke this stand for political reasons but I am not. I , advise you not to trouble ' those non-union men or anything about that factory, and It's good advice too. Everybody wlU get a square deal In this matter and the authorities will sot step in unless violence Is threatened. Better stay away from that shop and settle your troubles' In a peaceable manner.. That Is a successful strike. : -The union men listened carefully. to what the mayor had to say, but were convinced of the justice, of his words. On the witness stand Haas told of the trouble. - Beginning his testimony, Haas made the statement that Monday he ordered Sheard to stay away from Robinson's foundry at he waa a "scab." Sheard refused to take orders from the union man and because of thla Haas told him never to speak to him again because he was a "dirty scab." This' was stricken from the evidence, however, as Prosecutor Ladd alleged it had no bearing on the The Insult to Sheard occurred Tuesday noon. Haaa was standing at the corner of .Third and North A streets. with a moulder named White, one of the strikers. Sheard with James Nary and one or two other "scabs' passed and Bheard. seeing the two lUEUU. CaUlVU DIB DUDCil lUKClUCI. Were Cursed by Haas. Then according to the testimony of Nary and Mrs. Charles Kell, who lives nearby, Haaa called Bheard a "d dirty scab." Following this, Nary stated, Haas cursed, Sheard in the most vile language. ' Other witnesses testified that Haaa followed the "scab moulders up the street for some dis tance, cursing them and making threats that if they returned to the factory they would regret itMrs. Kell declared on the stand that for several days, since the strike has been In progress, she baa been con stantly annoyed by the cursing and disturbance caused by the union strikers. The cursing, she claimed, could be easily heard In the back part of her house. Although admitting that he called Sheard a "dirty dog of a scab." Haas denied that he had cursed him or fol lowed the "scabs" along he street. He said he waa Insulted because Sheard had spoken to him after being forbidden to do so by the union pickets. The Mayor told him . that any man had a perfect right to speak - to an other. , e v Say Sheard Waa Armed. A statement was made by one of the union strikers that they were afraid of Sheard. because It was believed he waa armed and waiting a chance to harm them. This Information they claim waa Imparted by Mrs. Kell, who ' said according to the union men. "you better watch out tor 8beard. He la loaded for you. Five members of the National Foun dry Association, an organisation of mM i.vuituvi uitv wmu uupvi front Cincinnati, according to the union striking moulders Thetr wages " a union man stated, are $5.00 a day (Continued on Pace 8t.)

AGREEMENT WOMEN ARE QUITE ACTIVE. (American News Service) Chicago, Nov. 3.

PIIICH A PREACHER

On a Forgery Charge After He Had Delivered Fine Sermon on Dishonesty, r PASTOR A VICTIM OF FATE Sycamore, III., Nov. - 3. Rev. J. W. Wade preached a magnificent sermon last Sunday to his congregation in the Sycamore Universallst church on "Dishonesty." His words were full of fire and his eloquence swept the consciences of his. hearers so powerfully that not one of them would have dared to tell a fish story that night Especially did the pastor lay stress upon the terrible consequences to a dishonest man's family that follow hi3 disgrace. ! An umbrella left leaning all night against - the . town pump would have been safe when he finished. Parents hugged their children close and vowed that never should they be compelled to bear the torments described by Rev. Mr. Wade as the seed of the dishonest man's offspring. Two strange men sat in the congregation, and the members were pleased to note that they seemed as much impressed by th pastor's words as the rest The Interest of the strangers was further made manifest when they paused outside the church and talked earnestly together. Yesterday the. strangers called upon the Rev. Mr. Wade. . . "We heard you preach , Sunday," said one. "and we , ; were much impressed , . ,-' "I am so glad you liked it," interposed the pastor. ' "As I was , saying," continued the stranger, "we were impressed by the resemblance between you and a picture at headquarters in Chicago of a minister who jumped out of Harlan Ky., after comitting several jobs of forgery. Since then we have been waiting for the picture and a warrant. They are here now and you are under arrest. But, on the square, that was a good sermon you preached on dishonesty." The men were private detectives in town on another mission, who happened to' drop into the ' Universallst church. The congregation was grevlously shocked, as it was fond of its new -pastor. Wade has been taken to Kentucky. f -He was. sent to Harlan-to establish a school by the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions,, and is . accused of having turned in false receipts for $1,000 that he did not expend. Anyway Sycamore' agrees It was a good sermon. Oil TURRIFF MISSil t Two State Department : Experts Leave to Represent U. S. at Ottawa, Can.

SENATE CONTESTS ALL OVER ran ARE HARD FOUGHT

United States Senate Consists of Ninety-two Members, Terms of Thirty Expiring on March Next. WASHINGTON EXPECTS BEVERIDGE VICTORY Concede His Chances Are Quite Good Now Three, Vacancies in the Upper House Caused by Death. (American News Service.) ' Washington, Nov. 3. Contests for members of the United States senate are adding great interest to the pres ent campaign, because the control of the senate is just as much involved in the results of next Tuesday's election as is the control of tho lower branch of congress. -, ; The senate is 'so organised that at no one time can a majority of - Its ' members, or more than a third, in ' fact, go out of office. But. tWnrTi the personnel of only one-third of tha membership is to be changed, a strong possibility exists that the control of the upper house may paas away from the conservative republicans to the hands of the democrats and insurgents. That some of tho regulars will be succeeded by Insurgents it already . assured and the democrats ' likewise seem certain to make some senatorial gains. The senate consists of ninety-two members. Next March the terms of thirty of these members wtii expire. v Their successors will ' be chosen by the legislatures to be elected xt Tuesday. , , . , t'.-r., ' V i W Vk HVH KSSSe'V VSSWSMlVSwBJ ill - the senate caused by daathUr. an ' lei of Vlrdnla, and Mr. XIcTir: f liOuTaiana, both' democrats- aal ,Ht, . Dolllver of Iowa, republican, The men' who' win be choaon to aueceed them will undoubtedly be of tho aame -political faith as their predecesaorm. Twenty-four of the aenatora whose terms are about to expire are republicans and six are : democrats. The ' twenty-four republicans are Messrs. Aldrich of Rhode Island, Ce varies of, Indiana, Bulkeley of Connect!sut, Burkett .of Nebraska, Burrows of Michigan, Carter of Montana, Clapp of Minnesota, Clark of Wyoming. Depew of New York, Dick of Ohio, Du Pont of Delaware. Flint of CaKSornla, Hale of Maine, Kean of Now Jersey La - Follette of Wisconsin, Lodgo of Massachusetts, McCumber of North ' Dakota, Nixon of Nevada, Oliver of Pennsylvania, Page of Vermont, Piles of Washington, Scott of West Vl ' ginia, Sutherland of Utah, and Warner of Missouri. The death of Senator Dolllver will make necessary the election of his successor this , winter, so that there are really twenty-five re-, publican aenatora whose placet will have to be filled. Who Democrats Are. ' - The six : democratic seats . to be made vacant are those of Texas, Virginia, Mississippi. Tennessee, Maryland and Florida. Senator Frailer of Tennessee is the only one whoso reelection appears to be at all doubtful and his friends are confident that he will pull through.; Senator. Culberson of Texas and Senator Rayner of Maryland will succeed themselves 'John Sharp Williams has " already been chosen to succeed Senator Money ot Mississippi. A primary la soon to be held to select the successor of Senator Taliaferro' of Florida. He will of course be a democrat, and a denwH crat will likewise succeed to tho- aeat of Senator Daniel of Virginia. The future in regard to the republican seats cannot be forecasted wtth the same degree of certainty. The reelection of Carter of Montana, Clapp of Minnesota, Sutherland of c Utah,' Clark of Wyoming, Oliver of Pennsylvania, and Lodge of Massachusetts Is believed to be assured, providing the next legislatures ; of their respectlre states are ' republican. AlSrlch of Rhode Island, Piles of Waahlngton and Flint of California are to retire voluntarily. Their; successors in all" probability will be republicans. Page of Vermont has already been re-elected. Dick of Ohio Is believed to have 'I'nursi - arsm itsmnsj . wmwm wmmmmmm ia a bard fight on his hands. Beveridge of Indiana will succeed himself if the republicans " control the : legislature, which is now regarded as probable. Scott of Virginia is believed to have about an even chance and the same may be said of DuPont of Delaware, Bulkeley of Connecticut expects to succeed himself despite the predictions of democratic success and the rival candidacy of ex-Governor McLean on the republican aide. Tho result in Nebraska Is doubtfuL' though present signs seem to point to a republican : legislature and the re else tion of Senator Burkett.
