' Labor Commissioner Wright Adj dresses the Convention?The Rss1 olutions. Xcw Orleans. Special.?Interest in I Tuesday's session of the Xational As sociaticn of Manufacturers ccr.terea in i the report of the resolutions comciitt tee, which was made at noon. The labor question immediately came to the front ' in the shape cf a resolution embodying a declaration of principles, declaring against boycotts and lockouts, recognizing the right of labor to organize. I but "without interference with the lib ! erty of employers or employe," denying the right of unions to fix wages and pledging the association to oppose all legislation not in accord with the foregoing principles. A motion to adopt 1 the resolutions brought a protest from [ Jas. F. Tater, of Cincinnati, who dc( manded that the resolutions be printed and held over until tomorrow. Mr. ^ Tater was supported by Mayor Jones, ? of Toledo, and a rising vote was de? manded. The motion to defer action 1 was lost by a heavy vote and the resolutions were adopted. They contain the ' following declarations: 1 "1. Fair dealing is the fundamental ' and basic principle on which relations 1 between employes and employers should rest. '*2. The National Association of . Banufacturers is not opposed to organ. izations of labor as such, but it is unj alterably opposed to boycotts, black lists and other illegal acts of interferr enee with the personal liberty of em? ployer and employe. % "3. No person should he refused employment or in any way be discriminated against on account of membership o^non-membership in any labor i organization, and there should be no r discrimination against or interference t with an employe who is not a member of a labor organization by members of such, organizations. ' 4. With due regard to contracts, it is the right of the employe to leave his employment whenever he sees fit and it is the right of employer to discharge any employe when he sees fit. "5. Empjpyers must be free to em ploy their work people at wages mutually satisfactory, without interference 1 or dictation on the part of individuals ) or organizations not directly parties to i. such contracts. g "6. Employers must be unmolested e and unhampered in the management of their business and in the use of any methods or systems of pay which arc just and equitable. "7. No limitation should be placed y upon the opportunities of any person 1 to learn any trade to which he or she i may be adapted. a "8. This association disapproves abI solutely of strikes and lockouts and a favors an equitable adjustment of all differences between employers and employes. 1 "9. The National Association of * Manufacturers pledges itself to oppose r auy and all legislation not in accord s with the foregoing declaration." i At the morning session Carroll D. s Wright, Commissioner of Labor, maue s an address in the course of which he said: "The workingman has risen from ignorance to intelligence, and as he s has reached intelligence he h2S become more or less a greater complication in industrial affairs. In his ig7 norance he did not strike; in his intel1 ligence he does strike. The next step in J the development in his intelligence will be that he will not strike; that he will be able to accommodate himself to conditions because he will understand them better. He will be able to recognize his rights in relation to the rights of others and to know fully what is 9 necessary for successful production, where he now understands only a part. This means of course the organization, the continuance, the perfection, of laF bor unions. Some of the methods or [t laoor unions are to be condemned. So g are som eof the methods of the cape italistic organization to be condemned, tt but because they cannot get on toll gether does not mean that either or |f both should be destroyed. They must . get on together. The great question for employers and employes is: Will they in conduct of their mutual affairs ex0 ceed the militant spirit, or invoke that g peaceful consideration which leads to the adoption of the highest elements S of business interests?" y 11 Not Guilty of Murder.

Meads of the Criminals Are Cut Oil and Exposed to Public View. Washington, Special.?Minister Con- i gcr reports from Pepin, under March | 12. that an attempt has been made i:i | the district of Yu Tien, about 1,700 j miles west of Peitin, to reorganize the j Boxer movement, but was promptly j suppress l by the rnergetic action of j the Vieoroj. the ir.ir.o::s Yuan Ship-Ki. I who stood like a rock against the j Boxers in 1D00. Several soldiers lost j their live r in the attempt to arrest toe j criminals. Several of the c.iminals were kilic.l and ten others wcreajres'.ud who are to- he 1 chcaded and their heads exposed. Mr. Conger says only such prernpe end sr. ere measures will prevent similar organisations in other localities. and it. is hoped and believed Your.n Phih-Ki will continue as ho has begun. The native official report on the upr'sing is as fellows: The Tung Chon Yungping brigade. General Linn Tlang. and the district magistrate of Y;?. Tien. Cheng Chin, report: "In the matter of Boxers drilling at Liu-Hu-T&o. in the district of Yu-Ticn, we sent petty officer.1: to make thorough search and on the 2Cth of the first moon (February 23rd. *933). they arrested Ling Chiang and other men and women. 10 in all. who were practicing Bexer arts and who now as!: for orders as to cow w? shall deal with them."

Thereupon seven cf them wore killed, men and women. and their head 3 exposed as a warning.

As to the ten men and women in custody, let them be carefully tried and afterwards beheaded and let their heads be sent to the place cf their rebellion and suspended as a warning of all and a testimony to the rigor of the law. We shall expect also that some plan to devised to secure the remainder of the band. Let every exertion be made to root it out as to prevent further trouble. Forward this with all haste." Thp nroelmnaticn of Viceroy of Yuan Chih-Kai, shows clearly the rigor of the measures taken by him to stamp out the Boxer movement. These persons are to be beheaded: Those dealing in magic spells to befool the people; those practicing evil teachings and evil arts; those banded together to commit violent crimes; soldiers in sympathy with Boxer societies. Heavy fines r.nd penalties arc imposed on householders who furnish' quarters for Eoxer meetings; on Boxers themselves and on tbose who tail to expose Boxers to arrest. Altai s propagating evil teachings are to be destroyed and a reward of 200 taels is" offered to any one delivering up bound any Boxer. Smaller rewards ore offered for information on which arrests can be made. The magistrates are to be impeached for failure to prosecute any Boxers.
