"Labor Unions Be ID ~

The superintendent of the Pinkerton
Detective agency in Chicago was visited
last week by a capitalistic newspaper
reporter, who reported the result Of his
interview as follows:
"W. A. Pinkerton was seen this morn
ing in regard to the statement made by
the trade and labor unions to the effect
that he was employing detectives from
the members of the Machinists' and
Blacksmiths' union. Mr.. Pinkerton
said that he did not propose to ask the
permission of any labor organization to
employ anyone he saw fit, and further
more that the men who were the loudest
in crying against traitors TO their unions
were the ones who would sell them
selves most readily. He made living
from capital, not from labor. and would
change the words of Mr.. Vanderbiltand
say: The labor unions be blanked ? "
We have it on good authority that
most of the large establishments en-
ploying 300 to 1000 persons, in Chicago,
employ five to ten Pinkerton detectives,
who report every week the sentiments
and purposes of the men to their en-
ployers. What fine illustration of the
harmony ofcapital and labor Alarm.

sending of skilled censor from Berlin
to watch each Issue proved inefectua and
the ministry Itself mad to be spe clally
called upon for decree of suppression.
This was executed in 1843 and drove
Marx into exile.
At Paris, Professor Arnold Ruge (who
had been deprived of his position at the
University of Halle and whose journal,
the Deutsche Jahrbucher had also been
suppressed) together with the we'll
know Socialist Julius Froebel, the al.
thor of the Kindergarten system, joined
with Marx in the publication Of the
Deutsche Franzosische Jahrbucner.
This was intended as a means of uniting
the Extreme Left of both France and
Germany, but ceased publication after a
| year.
Up to this time the Young Hegeians
as party had been philosophical and
political radicals only; but now through
some of the leaders an earnest forward
move was made and the social question
was taken up, This was resultant from
their transition into the humanism Of
Feuerbach from the mere ideailsm OF
the Elder Hegelians,-these latter desir'
ing simply the study of theoretical phil
osophy and protesting against its practl
cal application to every daY affairs. liz
brief the older heads struggled to main
tain an aristocracy of intellect and q
monopoly of :heir wlsdom,-to keep the
truth from any domain save that oil
'.puren science. The Younger on the con-
trary,-converts to the religion Uf Hu
manity.-held all knowledge that die
not enlighten and elevate the whole
people, as useless, and preached as the
first duty the propaganda among all men
Said Feuerbach
"The princes are gods, and they must shar'
the same fate. The dissolution Of Theology

the field of politics. Dualism, separation il

Tieyes In the Rhine province on the
river Moselle. It was here that Karl
was born in 1918. His education was
collegiate and finished just previous to
1910 at.the university of Bonn, wnere
even before graduation he acquired quite
reputation for eminence in philosophy
and jurisprudence. At this time he de-
termined to devote himself to the aca-
demic profession and would in all prob
ability have 80 done successfully had it
not been for his coming under the spell
of Hegel from whence, with the greater
portion of Young Germany, he advanced
rapidly as one of the pioneers of the
Extreme Left of the Hegelian school un-
til be found his goal in the Humanism
of Feuerbach. This Extreme Left, the
Young Hegelians were necessarily, pri-
marlly, philosoph ical, religious and po-
litical land latterly, Social) Radicals.
Illuminated with the full effulgence of
the Truth and stirred to the depths of
expectancy by the accession of William.
" In 1910 they enthusiastically believed
that the epoch of real Freedom was
about to dawn upon the world.
Among the first of those who pushed
to the front was Marx who at once
abandoned his hopes of collegiate emf
nence for journalism and strove to make
clear the path of Revolution with the
pen as forerunner of the sword. The
Rhenlsh Gazette founded IN Cologne by
Camphansen, Hausemann and other
leaders of the Young Hegelians, offered
him contributing position which he
accepted and improved so much that in
1912 he was appointed editor in chief.
Keen in insight, bold in denunciation,
blstering in criticism brilliant in attack,
powerful in conception and most pro-
found in understanding, his onslaughts
were at once potential and at the same
time 80 unattackable that the govern
ment was unable to bring him within

Among other leaders of the party Was
Hess, who plainly declared that "the
species was the end andEthe individual
only the means;;" Rugd who affirmed
that Socialism must be the humanism
of common life" and Grun who insisted
that anyone who applied to PRoPnRTY
the rules of Science must pass into So
cialism. He says: (.
"The true essence of man being the social
man, it becomes at once evident then that
just as theology is anthropology Socialism for
property is at present entirely alienated. ex-
ternalized from the social man. There Is q
false transcendency in it like that of divinity
and monarchy. Deal therefore with the
practical God, MONEY, as Feuerbach dealt
with the theoretical; humanize 1t. Make
property an inalienable pot session Of man
hood, OF every man as MAN. All should
have absolutely free opportunity to justly ac-
.quire. For property is necessary material
for every mans social activity, and therefore
ought to belong as inalienably and essen
TALLY to him as everything which he other
wise possesses as means or materials Of his
activity in life; as inalienably, for example,
as his body or his personal requirements. If
man is the social man, some social possession
sthen necessary to his manhood and mightbe
called an essential part oft; bm existing
property is something outside, as separate
from him as heaven or the sovereign

These pioneers in the fields of social
science repudiated as matter of course
the Communist utopias of France and
the individualistic brutalities Of En-
gland. To them CADET and Fourier were
dreamers and Malthus the hired liar of
tyranny. And thev prophesied that at

considerable work toe efforts OF the detectives
were successful, and December 20 three men
whose regulations have been under cloud,
were arrested at Purvls. They flaally conf, IS
ed the crime and said they Thought IL was a
freight train, and that they wanted to steal
goode for Christmas. They did not intend to
wreck a passenger train and were sorry Il was
don. They also expressed great sorrow az
the death OF Bob Turner and his fireman.
They admitted that they wrecked freight
train at the same place for the same purpose
year ago.
Saturday night, December q, at midnight dfty
railroad men, conductors, engineers, fremeD,
brakemen and section men, boarded south
bound train at Meriden. At Purvis the crowd
got of and proceeded TO the jail, where they
broke down the doors, placed ropes about the
Decks OF the men and led them out. The
wreckers again confessed the crime, begging
piteously for their lives, but TO no purpose.
They were taken to a point near the scene OF
tie wreck and strung up TO trees. lt was
about o'clock in the morning when the job was
completed, and as the last man swung of the
mob stole noiselessiy away.

Capt. Smith Moore Is taking ont some
rich looking rock from the openings at
his gold find north of the city. 1t looks
good enough to assay $40 or $50 per
ten, but rock, like other things, is very
deceptive. This find grows more and
more promising as work progresses,
and many of our people who at first
derided the idea that there was any
thing of value there have grown TO be
firm believers in 1t. Further tests of
the rock will be made soon, and the re-
suit will be eagerly awaited by those
who are watching the progress of ex-

A lastardly outrage took place at the
second toll-gate on the Tuscola plank
road the other morning near Bay City,
at two o'clock. Three masked burglars
effected an entrance TO the ktoll house
kept by Mrs. Hogle, whom they bound
and gagged. then applied a lighted
lamp to her flesh antil she divulged
where her money was-$14, which they
secured with quantity of jewelry.
Robert Farley, hired man, was ARGUS
ed, and when he entered the room they
fired at him five shots in succession.
He refreshed to the woodshed, fortu-
nately unhurt, and returned the fire,
wounding one of the burglars, Williams,
alias "Shank" Clark, q notorious crook,
wanted in Syracuse, New York. Clark
was arrested with his two companions,
VIM. Brennan and Thomas Larney.
The jewelry taken from Mrs. Hogle
and some of the money in small change
have been recovered Oh the burglars,
and pretty clear case will be made
out against them. There is mach ex-
element over the outrage on Mrs.
Hogle. Clark was wounded in the
forehead by Farley.

a FLOODED CITY.


Anan During tne Log Jam OF 1888.
Special to The Detroit Free Press.
GRAND RAPIDS, January 4.-On
Friday night last an ice jam began at
the big boom, eight miles above Grand
Haven, and about midnight last night
there was solid gorge of ice. varying
from four to fifteen feet in thickness, to
this city. The water began settling
back of the rapids and the jam lis one
solid mass of ice and nearly level from
The Lake Shore Railroad bridge, below
the city, to the "Big Bend" five miles
north of the city. This state of affairs
still exists, and the water is rising al the
rate of foot an hour. About O'Clock
the ice moved OF the rapids and piled
up fifteen feet high below the city. The
water has risen very rapidly since ear
ly this morning. The south end of the
west side canal went out. The water
now floods all the sewers at the main
part of the city, and the easements
along Canal street contain from one to
two feet of water The sidewalks along
the entire length eff the street are filed
with goods.
The Touring mills are flooded and
their contents have been removed. The
jail Easement is flooded and the prison
ers are obliged to 60 to bed to keep
warm, because the furnace cannot be
run.
The city is in total darkness. The
electric light works are drowned ont,
The water is now as high as at
the time of the great log jam in
July, 1888, and another foot's rise will
food the whole north end of the city.
On the west side the people are rapidly
moving out of their homes in this To-
cality.
The police force has been doubled to
secure safety to property and life.
The city being full of "orooks." fears
are entertained of trouble from them,
should this rise occur, AMI in all proba-
bility it will occur, rs the river is filed
with floating ice, which is rapidly filling
in about the city, and adding pressure
to the already immense strain against
the darn and guard gates at the head
Of the canals. The canals and river
IRE all one stream.
