ADVANCES IN LABOR ORGANIZATION.

ADVANCES IN LABOR ORGANIZATION
The old trades union was isolated, and
each trade stood aloof from other trades,
and although attempts have been made to
unite all into one body, that their power
and efficiency might be increased, success
has not attended the effort. The trades
union is behind the times. In its conflicts
I a regfmenr- opposed
to whole army. There is a miserable
spirit of caste even among wage workers.
some of whom think themselves ssbetter''
than others. This aristocratic spirit is a
| bar to progress. The universal equality OF
rights and opportunities is the only true
doctrine.
The Knights of Labor have come up at
the right time. This organization fur
nishes substitute for the trades union,
and for the first time unites men of all
trades into fraterna1 body, actuated by a
common spirit, and having one end in view
the elevation of labor everywhere. Its
platform may be yet narrow, and its objects
indefinite, and the progressive demands of
some of its members and the restrictive
spirit of others may cause split, but its
vast array of wage workers, under one
name or another, will 60 forward and mp
ward in their demands for better social
and industrial conditions. The very elite
of the wage workers are now allied with
the K. of L., or leaning that way, and the
discussion in every assembly of wrongs
and remedies will enlarge their ideas and
stimulate them to action.
There is hardly wage worker in the
world that is satisfied with his condition.
Now and then there will come to him Wis
ions of something better. The object of
every labor organization is to achieve this
something better-to find out how it hap
pens that the most useful and indispensable
class of the community are doomed to
and uncertainty as to their future.
The organization of labor in trades or
other unions has always meant war upon
something-war upon low wages, unem-
ployment, social disabilities, poverty, and |
the general ills of a workers life. So far |
It has not been class war, because habit |
and tradition had given a sort of sanctity |
% class divisions, and the superiority of |
)ne class 10 anOlner. But all this cOnSer-
1ation of old usuages is breaking up, and
abor, by the tyrannies of corporations and
he exactions of employers, is gradually
coming to the conclusion that there must
Ne great social and industrial reconstruct

and give labor its whole ear

BUSINESS 1ife.-the base struoole

BUSINESS life,-the base struggle
for gold, hardens and obliterates the
soul, produces atrophy of feeling, ten
derness, sensibility and faith. Men
become like wild beasts thirsting for
blood, and try to crush each other
down by all sorts of deception, op-
preston, and inhumanity in their mad
greed for wealth. We are all, more
or less, responsible for this worldly
characteristic in mankind. If we
paid less homage to wealth, if we
measured responsibility by breath of
soul rather than by pocket, if we
worshipped Mammon less, and the
divine in human nature more, riches
would cease to be the one supreme
object of life.

THE depositors of national bank
at Austin, MINI, have lost by its
failure two weeks since, the sum of
100000. This is large amount for
the people of one little town to lose,
and all for lack of a postal savings
bank. While the people permit their
Government to be run by the money
sharks, they must be content to abide
by the consequences.

When the English people have done
justice to Ireland, and given her home rule,
as they will have the opportunity to do
through the next cleo ion, we will accord
them all honor for practising republican
principles better than does this nation,
falsely styled a republic; for they have
taken the lead in enfranchising their
women citizens, who have enjoyed munich
pal suffrage for some years; and now all of
American provinces, from Nova
Scotia to Upper Canada have followed the
worthy example of their mother country.

THERE is sentiment which tells
us that things are sometimes nearest

This we apprehend is about to be re-

hitherto employed by Labor, futile as
they might be in actual result, are

"EOUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK. ~

There is no kind of employment in which
the unequal pay of men and women is so
obviously unjust as in that of teaching
where the work performed is the same
save that more of the real drudgery of
teaching is done by the women. It is well
known that many of our best teachers,
those who really educate in the true sense
of the word, drawing out and educin g
the childs own mentality, are females, and
where such one is found just discrimin-
alton would give her higher wages than
the male teacher who as principal of
graded school sometimes sits, as king
Log in the frogs pond, seeing the female
teachers do the work, while he receives
three or four times as much pay. The av-
erage salary, per month, of male teachers
in Massachusetts is $102.90, and of females
$34.32, and in all the states there is diff
ference of one-third, to one fourth between
male and female teachers in the same grade
These salaries are determined by legisla-
ton in which women are not represented,
or by officials in choosing whom women
have no part. If public officers were de-
pendent upon women for their positions
female work would not be rated at half
prices, as now. There is an intimate re-
lation between 'sbread and the ballot" vet
seldom will one of these women teachers
say they are in favor of female suffrage |
but the opposite. Is it because they know
that they have soft place, in comparison
with many of their less favored sisters, and
fear to offend "the powers that be ?' Or,
is it because it is not fashionable
Fashion how I detest the word. This
same discrimination against the compensa-
ton of women for equal work, only
greater difference, extends to every kind of
labor, except three Or four occupations. 1t
is inexcusable injustice. An attempt is
often made to justify it on the ground that
men have wives and children to support
Il that is a valid reason, then widows with
;amilies of dependent children, should re-
,eive double salary. All honor to the
,hivalric Knights of Labor who have in
Inscribed upon their banner: equal pay for
.qual work.

ranny which entails it is only bless

alternative left-the ballot, and the

LAWS may be enacted lessening
the hours of toll, restricting the action
of Capital, and increasing the rights
of Labor, but they can only ameliorate
existing evils. To abolish industrial
slavery, we must abolish the individ-
ual ownership of mans labor, which
can be only done effectually by the
introduction of cooperation.

MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA, has one
of its street car lines run by electricity,
and preparations are being made to
apply the same locomotive agency to
them all. The cars move along as if
enchanted. A mere boy controls the
motion. How long will it be before
this economic trick is played in all
other cities. Then goodbye to the
horses and the drivers, and the horse
shoers and the stable men, for their
occupation like that of Othello's will
be gone, forever. Where will they
find employment? All, that is the
question which not to solve is death.
Will the trade union or the strike or
the boycott or the following of the
partisan demagogue or the light of
the kerosene torch answer it ! No,
no. The poor disinherited outlaw
must then turn his attention to Henry
George and Karl Marx and the teach
ings of the "cranks" in general for a
solution of the difficulty; and that
can never be found only in the free
dom of their natural Interchangeable

ALMOST every day we hear the as
sertion repeated in defence of exis-
ting industrial conditions, that any
man in this country, who is industrl-
Gus, saving, frugal, and temperate,
can acquire competence. We know
that without these qualities, no one,
unassisted, can honestly do so; but
we also know by our own observation
of many man practising all these
virtues, and possessing ordinary intelli-
gence, who have never been able to
secure more than "from hand to
mouth" sort of a living for himself and
family as a wage Garner, who if sick
ness or accident overtakes him has in
prospect nothing but the poor house.
The industrial system that condemns
such a man to lifelong poverty because
he does not cramp all the powers of
his intellect into the one low channel
of money making. perhaps scheming
how he can overreach his neighbor, is
