run our mill the way we want 1t run
This same gentleman called upon oliver
[. Garrison, secretary of, the Vulcan
works, told him what Hitchcock had
said, and asked him what the manufac-
turers intended doing. He said: I
guess we will be idle for two months yet,
at least but when we do start up, guess
it will be with the old hands, and not
with non-union men, The reason Of
the discrepancy between the statements
OF these two men is that Hitchcock is
not practical workman, and does not
know what it is to be one, while Garrison
has been brought up in the iron business,
and been connected with this mill from
its birth. He knows the difference
between union and non-union men. 1
think he is at heart friend to the Anal
gamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers. He ought to feel friendly
towards that organization, for many
reasons. Until two years ago this asso-
citation was not we'll organized, and it
was hard work getting hands and con-
trolling them. Until two years ago there
was drunkenness and idleness in the
works, and piles of worthless rails were
piled up and left to rot Now drunken
ness is wiped out Of sight by the associ-
alton, all men are kept at work and
there is no waste of Notwithstanding
that nearly bankrupted the manufactur-
ers before the regular organization took
hold. l remember when Superintend-
ent Fry came out here from Pennsyl-
vania, he tried to play the bulldog, and
was continually barking at the men. He
complained to Garrison and was told to
let the association men alone and they
would do their duty. He tried this way
of running things, and was astonished
at his success"
Many workmen talk as inteIligently
as the above. One said yesterday that
all the boys were taking things easily.
None of the men who went out have
left Carondelet for good, although sew
eral have taken advantage of the situa-
ton to visit friends. Some have gone off
visiting and not returned yet. The men
on strike number 1000. There are about
800 rollers, molders and machinists and
laborers still at work. Those On the out
side have nothing to say to those at
work, but spend their time in hunting or
fishing, or sitting around the fire discuss
ing the situation. The store keepers of
Carondelet seem to have entered into the
spirit of the strike, and, with an excep-
ton or two, stand ready to help the
workmen-St. Louis Union,

GOllY-WaSh.

We have reached that period in life
where our pity for poor, downtrodden
humanity can no longer be aroused by
reading the poetical effusiCTs Of some
poor driyeling drone who wastes his
time piIlng up doggerel, narrating the
sad fate Of the horny-handed sons of
toll "who plow and SOW, who reap and
mow." No song of the labOrer will
reach my softest impulses. No song of
the factory slave, no song of the shirt,
no beautiful snow, no supplicating slush
will reach me. I am firmly set against
it. For whom is such whining Whang-
doodle written? Not even the air would
please babe or soothe it to rest. If in
tended for the ears of the class whose
sad fate they mourn, they fail in their
objects, as those poor slaves do not read
labor papers, and seldom read, even had
they the time to spare, that which would
enlighten them with the light of truth.
Let those who are by nature gifted in
the art of changing and arranging words
so as to make them jingle pleasingly on
the ear, remember that the day when
the present damnable system of piled-up
wrongs will be made to tumble down, is
fast approaching.
The demand Of the present hour is for
JoSh onH
flash sufficient to light the torch bat
tie and lead labor's aroused masses to
the soul-stirring music of which they
shall advance to liberty or death.
Therefore let us hope that all labor
poets may change their songs and the
tunes thereof; let them select a theme
worthy of free men and not of slaves.
No more whining cur-like appeals; no
more prayers, no more petitions, no
more begging and crying, no more sup
plications.
The last spark of liberty has not flick
cred out of the American breast. There
is vet some manhood left. Let them
therefore endeayor to fan it into flame
by singing the songs of "Liberty, Fra
ternity and Equality"
Let them abandon the music of Sweet
Bye and Bye" or "HoId the Fort" and
give US one grand song with liberty'S re-
frain, "March On, March On" to the
music Of the Marsellaise. %
am constrained to write these lines
from having read the occasional songs
that have appeared in labor journals
The whining appeals thus put forth are
sufficient to make one feel ashamed OF
his race, and wish he were a noble red
man, yea, even digger Indian or a
Chinaman, rather than this hound of a
slave CRYING out like a sick child.-Mas-
saniello, in San Francisco Truth.
