COMMUNICATIONS.
Republican Bad Memory.

The idea of the Socialists and Nation
alists going into the campaign has Gre
ated good deal of comment. But while
the Democrats know what that means
and are now talking of uniting their
various factions in order to make head
against the oncoming powerful labor
movement this fall, the Republicans
affect to be merry and prophesy for the
labor ticket a vote smaller than that
of the Prohibitionists.
The Republican memory seems to be
very short. Four years ago they giggled
in the same way; they kept on giggling
through the whole campaign; and they
kept up blowing and promising a great
success for their ticket. Nevertheless,
the sickest men after election day were
just these ighthearted Republicans.
Nobody, 1t is true, outside of the La
Dor party felt happy. The victorious
Democrats themselves felt more like
trembling when they saw that big labor
v6te of IS, 40. But the hilarious Repub
licans were especially down in the
mouth They had come out at the bot
tom of the polls. The labor vote licked
them. The same disappointment is this
year in store for our Republican friends
The soaking they get in 1886 they viii
get again in 1890. Labor will be uniteC
at the polls. 1t is now better disciplined
than before; and it is organized on 1
higher plane. Whatever there may be
in the future for the Republicans, vic
tory is not on the list. NATIONALIST.

and beauty. Imet them at public meet
ings, at social gatherings in official life,
and never have ! seen more delightful
people And these women all vote, 60
ing with husband, son or brother to the
polls at every election, thinking it AS
natural and proper duty as to 90 to
the market or to lecture
No one there ever says-'4 on would
not 20 to the polls, would you" for the
best women all go to the polls
No one there ever says, mo lady
would vote" for those who best deserve
the title of lady are those most interest
ed in political questions and most intelli-
gent in voting.
Nor need any man lie alarmed lest
household duties should be neglected.
Babies are taken care of and buttons are
sewed on just as faithfully as where
women do not cast their ballots.
And one other most significant fact.
In the State of Wyoming alone of all the
States in the Union women are eligible
to all offices and there are laws in the
statute books which secure equal pay
to men and women for equal work.
Could there be more absolute proof Of
the fact that only equality of political
rights will secure to women equality of
industrial rights?

HOW TT WORKS.

See capitalism at work on the Harlem
River. Vanderbilt on one side opposes
the improvement of that waterway, 1t
would compel him to remove his low
bridge and build tunnel, In obedience
to the wishes of this railroad magnate
the United States Senate has discon-
tinued the appropriations annually
granted for the work in question. Now
come the great property owners on both
sides of the Harlem River begging the
Senate to restore the appropriation; not
because of the public advantage of the
Improvement, but merely because it
will give their property immense value
Among the beggars is Mr.. Aston, whose
| lands along the river will be benefited to
such an extent that he might be taxed
| for the whole cost of the work and still
make large profit. What will the
Senate do? 1t is plain enough that the
only equitable way of settling the diff
Guilty between Aston and Vanderbilt on
the one hand, and between those two
great men and the people of the United
States on the other hand, would be tC
knock down Vanderbit's bridge anC
appropriate Astor. But what is SO plair
is precisely what the Senate won't see

UNORGANlZED LABOR.

There were in this city, in 1850, 22', 35@
persons engaged as mechanics and
operatives in 1920 manufacturing es-
adjustments. OF this total number
146,l79 were males above IL years of
age, 71,795 were females abovel5, and
q,37s were children and youths, If we
suppose that the number of persons
engaged in this class of occupations has
increased in the same ratio as popula'
ton, the Census which has just been
taken will show an army of wage
workers in the manufacturing and
mechanical employments of this city
numbering over 200, 900 men and 100, 900
women.
Nor is this all. The aggregate num-
Der of persons working for wages in
trade and transportation, and in personal
or domestic service, is nearly equal to
the number of those in manufacturing
and mechanical occupations.
Now if the question be asked-"How
many of those 600, 900 people are actually
3. organized 1T is safe to say in reply,
that 100000 might prove a very large
estimate and that in 10 Of them belong
to the manufacturing and mechanical
group of employments.
OF course, the power and influence Of
organized labor are considerably greater
in proportion than its numerical
strength. But, for this very reason
any addition to its numbers is a still
greater addition to its power, and nj
effort should be spared to extend pr per

POLITICAL ACTION.

As will be seen by our report, in ano-
ther column, of the Socialist and Ma
tionalist Conferences held last week,
there is prospect of united action this
fall by all the progressive elements OF
this city. 1t may be added that the sell
timent in this direction is rapidly grow
ing.
If the campaign can be opened as early
as the middle Of August and conducted
with vigor from that time to election
day, many who are still in doubt will
be carried by the current A formidable
movement of labor on advanced lines is
at least and at last among the posslblll'
ties

VICTORY.

The cloakmakers have won a complete
victory. The most rabid organs OF CAPT
.alism are ashamed of the conduct Of
the manufacturers in this conflict. The
Times, for instance, admits that by now
granting the demands of their wage
slaves the employers recognize that
'these demands were just and ought to
have been granted in the first place y
We trust that the cloakmakers, who oan
now appreciate the value of economic
union in conflicts involving their daily
bread, will Immediately turn their atten-
ton to the value of political union in
the greater conflict for total emancipa
ton.

his individual importance and lower his
social standing. The point must come,
however, where further increase OF the
distance between the two extreme elias
ses will bring about disruption, and,
where the banking plutocrat, unless he
succeeds in reestablishing slavery in its
most complete form, will entirely disap-
pear; while the state-a regenerated
state, representing the free will of a
cooperative commonwealth-will take
his place for the benefit of all.
And thus we see how the plutocrat,
with his trusts, combinations and econo-
mics, is surely preparing the advent OF
Socialism. 1t might be done less rudely,
less heartlessly, and without imposing
50 much suffering upon successive gen
| erations of wage-workers; and the wage,
workers themselves might, by stronger
combination on their side, compel q
higher regard for the rights of human
ity; but it is done nevertheless, anc
nothing can prevent the natural outcome
of a natural movement.

Woman Suffrage.

The Fourth of July was celebrated
this year with wilder enthusiasm in
Wyoming than in any other portion of
tie country. In Wyoming the State;
no longer Wyoming Territory, for the
bill admitting this new Star to onr
galaxy has passed both houses of Con
gress and its admission to the Union of
States is therefore assured.
This joyful news was known in all the
vide area of Wyoming before the ami
versary of Independence and it was
celebrated with heartiest fervor There
all the people are indeed free, and women
and men together united in enthusiasm
over the event which gives them the
right to vote for the next President of
the United States.
For twenty years the women of Wyom-
ing have enjoyed political equality with
men. and that broad State is the only
real republic on the face of the earth.
Lying high on the great plateau that is
crowned by the Rocky Mountains it

on the west towards the Pacific, and
calls to the sister States to rise to the
heights of freedom that it enjoys,

has proved correct. There are, it is
true, some manufacturers who deplore
the ten hour law, not because it has in
hicted upon them any loss whatever,
but because it has conferred benefit
upon their operatives and tends to make
"their hands dissatisfied and anxious
for a further reduction of the hours Of
labor. As a rule, however, it is recog
nized that while the operatives get the
same pay now for ten hours as they
previously got for eleven hours labor,
their greater efficiency and faithful
ness" make up in the amount of work
turned out for the reduction in time.
The speed Of machinery has been In
creased, and in a number of instances
machines of an improved kind have
been added to or substituted for the old
ones. Two conclusions may be drawn
from these facts: /. That the shorten
ing of the hours of labor does not neces-
sarily involve a decrease of production,
or reduction of wages, or loss of
profits; 2-that while it benefits the
laborer to the extent of the time gained,
it does not necessarily, in the end, en-
large the field of employment, but leaves
unsettled the problem Of enforced idle
ness. OF course, were it only for the
moral advantages which must result
from a shortening of the work-day, We
would stand in the front rank of it,
advocates. But it is well to bear IL
mind that the solution of the labo
problem will have to be effected BY
means far more scientific and radical.

The PrOfit-Sharing Fraud.

Editor WoRKMEN's ADVOCATED en-
close clipping from to-day's World,
which states that President Fish of the
Illinois Central Railroad has sent to
all the employees of that Railroad circu-
lar urging them to invest their savings
in the stock of the corporation by pur-
chasing shares, the value of such
shares to be retained from their wages
in monthly installments.
1t is a fact easy of comprehension to
every intelligent wage-worker that such
proposition, coming as it does from
the highest official Of a powerful corpo-
rations is intended simply as a bait to
the hook with which its employees are
! to be caught. So that, while being at
tracted by the alluring prospect of be-
coming partners and stockholders
though still remaining wage slaves OF
the railroad system which employs
them, they may swallow the bait with
out discovering the hook which it SO
artfully endeavors to conceal, until the
object of the corporation, through its
Fish erman President has been accom-
plished; and that is the more complete
subsection now, and absolute wage
slavery in the future, of all employees
who allow themselves to be deluded by
such cheap and transparent scheme.
That such a project, if successfully
carried out, must and will vastly in
crease the profits of the corporation
proposing it, there can be no doubt. In
the first place it would eliminate the
element of loss occasioned by frequent
Interruptions to and often the total
stoppage of, traffic, caused by strikes in
the past. No wage worker will be in
clned to inaugurate or uphold strike
against himself through the corporation
of which he is partner, as by so doing
he would place himself in the position
of a man who "cuts off his own nose to
spite his face" Again, it would also
benefit the corporation by a great
saving in material used in construction,
and by a reduction in operating ex-
penses, as it will be possible for it to re-
ceive an increase in the amount of labor
performed by its employees in the same
time as before without being obliged to
grant corresponding increase in the
amount of wages paid them. That the
above proposition will in any degree,
: however slight, benefit the wage-slaves
of the corporation, the most skillful
reasoning fails to demonstrate.
But it will result in depriving them of
independent action as wage-workers,
l and, therefore. of the only weapons
which they possess political and eco,
nomical organization), and which can be
; utilized with any prospect of success IN
the warfare now continually waged be-
tween Labor and Capital.

SHORTER HOURS.

Previous to the passage of ten.hour
law by the Legislature of New Hamp-
shire in 1887, the mills of that State were
generally running eleven hours per day.
The same contradictory arguments were
then advanced against ten-hour work
day as are now used in opposition to its
further Shortening Some said that
the cost of production would be in
creased and others contended that the
earnings of the operatives would be de-
creased: while others still, blind to the
fact that either of the two predictions
excluded the other, made them both in
the same breath. From r" ent inves-

TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS.

We have the authority Of Auditor
McNair, of the Interstate Commerce
Railway Association, for the extraordi-
nary but well supported statement, that
the railroads of this country, through
mismanagement and useless competi-
ton, are annually wasting sum of
5000, 100000. Under this competitive
system, he says, the train service is
conducted with a reckless extravaganza,
the equipments are superintendent, and
as the cost of operating the roads must
be considered in establishing the rates
of transportation, the public in the end
bear the burden of the waste and
rightly complain of high charges. In
other words he proves that competition,
to which is credited every reduction
made in the rates, is actually preventing
reduction to the full extent that inn
provement in machinery and judicious
MANAGEMENT would otherwise render
possible. He argues, furthermore, that
| by combination the roads could entirely
do away with such expenses as outside
agencies and miscellaneous advertising.
1t costs the prominent roads in the West
over five million dollars yearly for these
purposes only. In the way of commits
sions, especially, millions of dollars are
annually thrown away to useless agents,
who have no cause Of existence as such
but the sharp competition between rail
roads for passengers and freight.
Close upon this statement comes the
news of a movement among the bankers
and capitalists who control some of the
leading Western roads, not only for
combination, but for curtailment OF
the powers heretofore exercised by the
presidents and other railway officials
Their object is evidently to reduce not
the rates but the expenditures, and tt
pocket the savings which Mr. McNaii
has plainly shown to be practicable.
Thus is another step taken-and a mos
important one it is--in the development
of capitalism and, therefore, towards
the cataclysm out of which will emerge
the socialist state.
We have repeatedly observed in thes
columns that the tendency of combina
, ton and classification was to place tn
banker at the head of industry. Tn
manufacturer, the professional man
, who heretofore had full control and Iii
rection, will occupy under this new am
. transitory order subordinate position
