The "BIacklisting" Boycott Of Employ
ers-Idle Men Increasing in
Numbers,

MILWAUKEE, August l5.-Someone has
blundered. A mistake has been made
somewhere. The number of idle men is
on the increase. Thousands in single
week are thrown of employment; that
too, right ON the eve of an election, is
all wrong. Surely capital has forgotte n
the fact that idle men never vote for it,
but are always in opposition to and
against monopoly. If, instead of dis
ch arging 20 per cent las is being done)
of the help employed in large factories,
each one should work copper cent less
time or eight hours instead of ten, all
would remain at work, there would be
our streets to subsist on charity or work
for the county or state.
Eight hours should be the watchword
the world over. Work for all who want
it. No more blacklisting.
A clear case of slavery occurred in this
city few weeks ago, though the public
has not had the particulars as vet. 80 l
will give them: One of Atkins & Og-
der's sub-contracto rs, who has a con-
tract to finish all goods made by the
firm, needed more help and engaged
man who understood his business and
agreed to paw him SIS per week, which
was $3 more than Page & Co. we're pay
Ing him. He was idle Page & Co. were
not working, and would not agree to
give him more than $12 when they had
work for him. He took his kit of tools
and reported at Atkins & Ogders for
work, when Mr.. Atkins himself in
formed him that he could not work
there as Mr.. Page had forbidden it. and
it was rule that no employers should
hire the others men. The K. of L. inn
mediatelv struck the shop, all hands
quit work at once; Mr.. Atkins now
owns the man at Sis per week instead of
Page & Co.
Artisans day will be celebrated in
Milwaukee this year for the first time.
Tramps are thick; in fact, "the woods
are full of 'em." There is not day
passes without men, who have been
"blacklisted." asking for bread, or as
sistance of some kind.
A friend of ours had occasion to bor-
row small sum of money in order to
purchase more stock to complete a job of
work and went to one of the great
! money lenders of this city. He had
good and acceptable security, and could
get the cash providing he would pay 10
per cent per month in advance. One
hundred and twenty per cent per year.
Just think of it. In a free country
where the people order the mon ey
made, and, too, where everyone can vote
to make the laws.

Some of the enemies of the club are disposed to

stop annoying US. Layton had Mr.. Powderly's
