WASHINGTON NEWS.
How Schedule K. Protects the Work
ing Man..
By C. H. Tavenner.
Special correspondence.
Washington, Jan. 29, - Here is
some more evidence of how
"Protection" does not 'protect"
the workingman. The follow
ing is an extract from an appeal
for arbitration sent by the 15,
000 striking textile workers at
Lawrence, Mass. to William M.
Yw)od, president of the woolen
!rust:
"We are of the opinion that
you have had ample time to con
sider the demands of the men,
women and children who have
made the American Woolen com
pany what it is - today. In view
of the fact that machinery has
been improved, the workers turn
off more and more work, but
they are not paid accordingly,
even though the price of food,
clothing and shelter has in many
eases increased 50 and even 100
per cent within the last few
years.
"We, the committee, are will
ing to meet the officials of the
coinpafly at any time and submit
the grievances of the strikers.
So if you believe in a square deal
you will not refuse to meet with
us, but will come forward at
once and try U bring the trouble
to a final conclusion. You must
bear in mind the fact that these
men, women and children have
not acme on strike for light or
transient causes,' but because
they could no longer bear up un
der the burdens laid upon their
shoulders. It seems to us that
the American Woolen company
has within the last few years built
several mills, which are paid for,
according to your own figures,
and the company has even in the
worst of times managed to pay
dividends.
"The workers are of the opini
on that the only competition left
is the struggle among them
selves for a miserable job at $6,
$7 or $8 a week."
And this is how Schedule "K"
"protects" the workingman, for
whose benefit the Payne Ald-
rich bill (according to Payne and
Aldrich) was passed.
Since the Protectionists admits
that Schedule "K' which places
a heavy tax on every article of
woolen clothing sold in the Unit
ed States, was designed solely to
benefit the workingmen in the
woolen industry, and since the
$6, $7 and $8 wages paid bv the
woolen trust demonstrates be
yond successful contradiction
that Schedule "K" does not pro
tect the workers, why should the
American people longer tolerate
Schedule "K?"
DATA DISAPPEARS.
Several months were spent by
Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Pro
gressive Republican Senator
from Oregon, in gathering data
on the subject of the use of
Federal patronage to control na
tional conventions. One night
recently his office was entered,
and his files looted of all this
material.

Senator Overman Involved.
w ashington, Jan. 24; Copies
of the Newark Evening, Newark.
N. J., containing the following
item from the Washington, cor
respondent of the Greensboro
News, were sent to the members
of the North Carolina delegation
hi Congress today;
"Colonel Henr Wjtterson. of
Louisville, told Senator LeeS
Overman, of iforth "Carolina at
Charlotte" last December that
Colonel Harvey asked Governor
Wilson to meet Thos, F. Ryan to
discuss the Wilson candidacy for
President. This statement was
made by Senator Overman to
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
and others. The understanding
Overman had was that it was the
purpose of the proposed meeting
between Ryan and Wilson that
Ryan should assist to finance
Wilson's candidacy after the man
ner of old-style politics. The man
ner of the rejection by Wilson of
Harvey's suggestion caused
Harvey to inquire regarding
Wilson's idea as to the value of
Harptr's Weekly support; and
i that was followed by Wilson's
frank answer
V
When shown this item, today,
Senator Overman declined to
affirm or deny his connectiom
with the Ryan story.
Col. Watterson Admits That Ryai
Matter Came op at Coiference at
Manhattan Clnb.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 24.
It may be stated upon the high
est authority that Colonel Watter
son tonight admitted to close
friends that the Ryan matter
came up at that Manhattan club
conference in New York, and
that this led Governor Wilson
to decline the lurther support of
Harvey. The revered Kentucky
editor and savant is 75 years old.
It is not known what mitigating
crcumstances will be advanced
in benalf of others in this effort
to discredit Governor Wilson by
telling less than half the truth
about that ill-fated New York
conference to which the two
colonels. Watterson and Harvey,
invited Governor Wilson after
the return of Harvey from a
several days' stay on the Vir
ginia farm of Thomas F. Ryan.
To those who owe us will say the
time has now come when we
want you to come and pay up, we
need the money. If you want. us
to help you again you had better
come and attend to this now,
