THE | (KELLEY CONFESSES DEFEAT | Remarkable Story of the| Late Leader of the | Industrials, =~ | AGITATION A PAILURE | LABOR The Man Who Took an Army| East Makes Many Inter- | esting Disclosures, HONEST ToIL THE ONLY PANACE! | Forced to Believe That the Polioy of | Republicanism Will Lead to Better Times. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcrsco CALL ) 908 Broadway, Jaly 2L § | Charles T. Keliey, who is better known | as the general of the Industrial Army | that left California three years ago, and who has since been a National labor agi- tator, made public a startiing statement to-day. He announced that he had forever severed his connection with iabor reforms. This will be startling news to the millions of people who during the past three years | have heard as much of General Keliey as his fellow-workers, Debs, Harvey, | owne and Coxey. | fter three years of hard work, during | time I have sacrificed what littie I| had in a conscientious effort to benefit tnounsands of my fellow-men, I have been | forced into the conclusion that nothing | n be accomplished by the presen thods of labor agitation. Strikes have | proved useless as a means of rellef, mainly | because of the increase of labor-saving | machinery; industrial armies and kindred | movements, while they draw toward them | temporary public sympathy and passing relief, are only one way of making men paupers and teaching them to lose their self-reliance. *In my experience I have been in close relationship with Eugene Debs and ‘Coin’ | Harvay and others as well known, and | when 1 was East with my industrial army | 1 discussed ways and means with them, and I believe they are sincere, but their methods ure euntirely wrong and so far | have produced nothing but grief and dis- content. | “All the failures have been brought | bout because the movements hitherto undertaken have led to nowhere. They have been engineered with no definite ob- cot in yiew, and when a certain point has | n reached [ailure was the natural re- t. To a great exteni there is a great ack of honesty 1n the leaders of these s called labor-relorm movements. This is not apparent to the public, but it exists nd the scenes, and only those who are t the head of the movements know to hat a great extent this dishonest work is carried on. | “Vast numbers of men are got togethe: and led onward, anc in many instance: his is done with the connivance and at the instigation of the very interests against whom these labor agitators are | supposed to be fighting. | *It is very humiliatinz to bave to ac- knowledge defeat after all these years, but the only honest course to t. 1 f of B I have endeavored to benefit ow-men, but this agitation is only ficial, and no matter how long it is | t up, it can end in nothing. 11 it means anything at all, it simply means revolution, and I know that such a | nationally suicidal policy is not contem- plated by any but perhaps a few fools. There are other means to produce an i provement of the laboring man's conai- tion, and these I propose to follow. Ii tend to apply myself steadily to work and to try and make up for what I have lost. I | Lave my family, who demand my best ef- forts, and my bitter experience has proved | that if every man of the tens of thousands o have been allied in so-called labor | agitation during the past few years would make his home his altar, there | would soon be an improvement of the | workingman’s condition. “This continuzl agitation is driving away capital at a time when the country needs all the investruents possible, and until this is realized bard times will be with us. “My career as an agitator started at the tabernacle, in this city, in Aopril, 1894, 1| saw many hundreds of starving, idle men, | und I made a speech to them. While on | the platiorm a couple of them came upon | the platform with a coaton which were | some epaulettes. | *‘I was persuaded to accept an offer to lead the host to Washington. I did so. We rode when we could; we built boats to carry us across the great rivers, and we be- | ca naved as orderly as we could, | ut there were dissensions ali the time, and even on | that trying journey I saw that thore wasa | | anything, in my | workingmen need SAN FRANCISCO CALi, THURSDAY, 22, JULY 1897. 11 ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. solution to the labor rroblem other than the one we were trying to work out. “‘After finding that nothing could be done at Washington, I started on another campaign with a wagon, and have been agitating till recently, when I came to tte conciusions that I bave just narrated. *I have met all the great agilators of the country, and many of them sre sia- cere. I beiieve Debs to be honest-hearied, but misguided. There are, however, many others who are merely sounding the labor reform slogan for personal profit or politi- cal purpose. 1 am proud to be able to y that my agitation has not brought me a cent. 1 am lLiving in a little cottage at E mhurst, and have to beain again where I did many vearsago.

Henshaw severely Injured While Riding His Wheel. OAKLAND, Car, July 2L.—E. T. Hen- shaw, a brother of Supreme Justice Hen- shaw, while rid:ng his wheel on Washing- ton street this afternoon was run into by a P.edmont electric car and severely in- jured. He turned out for one car but in | doing sogotin the way of a car from the opposite direction, as he heard no warn- ing bell. He was pinned down in such a mann«r that it was necessary to break the wheel to release him and get him from under the car. He was cat badly about the chin, and had one leg severely twisted. | Attorney John L. Davie assisted in rescu- ing the wounded man. Troubles of the McCulloughs. OAKLAND, CAL, July 2L.—Dr. Fran- | cis E. McCullough has filed an affidayit in opposition to the motion of his wife, Mary C. McCullough, for alimony. She is suing him for a divorce and claims that she isin comfort with her mother, 2t whose insti- gation she left him. He denies ever cruelly treating her, but avers that she left him at herown free will and had visited his patientsto injure him. As a result of this, he says, his practice is falling off continually. BITIEN BY A DOG Six-Year-0ld Daughter of J. G.

He declared that his fingers were not straight and that they pained him. The !imb had been puried, and Steward Tobin told the man he would | attend to it, tninking that the delusion would wear off. This was not the case, |aud after Tobin had lost a couple of night's sleep he decided that there must he went out to the cemetery, exhumed the arm and found that in a cramped position. He straightened them out and his patient never bothered him any more. As a rule the Coroner takes the mem- bers from the hospital and buries them at the cemetery, but he does not wish to do so if he should have to go out there and attend to them later. The steward does not want to undertake the responsibility of burying them so that they will canse their late owner no more trouble, but nevertheless they will be interred to-mor- row.

Badly Decomposed Body of & Man Found Under a Sidewalk. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 21.—The Jour- nal’s Chicago adyices say that nndera wooden sidewalk at Grand and Kedsie avenues, in the weeds and rubbish, the decomposed body of a man was discov- ered by William Berthius, a young ped- dler, to-night. Almost covering the body, and loosely wrapped about the lower limbs, was a rusted barbed wire. The po- lice are inclined to accept the theory of murder, the presence of the barbed wire being evidence that the man was foully dealt with. The only clew to his identity is a laundry slip, The body is that of a large man about 40 years of age. He was dressed in a good suit of brown clothes, and his underwear was of good quality. The vicinity whers the body was found is desolate, a small salooa halfa block “.Y beinz the oniy building within half a mile. The peddier has been passing the corner daily for some time, and had his attention drawn by the sickening odor. To-night he decidea to investigate. When the body was found the police were immediately notified. A e Rer, Dy. Talma e Will Keturn. WASHINGTON, D.

In the manulacturing city of Fall River, near the center of the business port.on, there is approaching completion a struct- ure which will have, wihen finished, no counterpart in America. It is a club- house for boys, and while there are other cities with boys’ clubhouses, working boys' homes, newsboys’ homes and phi- lanthropic institutions innumerable, there is none in which aclubuouse has been | buiit expressly for this parpose, as well | finished as though for the wealthiest club | in the city.

M.’C. D. Borden, whose extensive oper- ations in wool recently interested the business world, some time ago decided to establish an institution which it is believed will be of the greatest benefit in a mill town where the street is the natural honie of so many boys. To this end he had an examination made of similar institutions in all parts of the countty, and when this was completed the project took practical form, first in the office of an architect and later In the erection of the building which it to be the Boys' Club of Fall River. The building is now nearing completion and is receiving its inside finish. When it is opened the event will be made a notable one for Fall River, and may be of far- reaching significance.
