POLITICAL ACTION,

Since our last issue, the Conference
established under the auspices Of the S.
l.. P. with view to independent politi-
cal action this fall has received lmpor-
tant accessions. Among the additional
trade organizations that have elected
delegates we notice Furniture Workers
Union No. 7, the United Uphosterers.
the United Trainers, Bartenders Union
No. /, and Bakers Union No. 81.
On their side the Nationalist are push
ing with vigor and success the organiza
tion Of their clubs in the various assem-
bly, districts of this city.
Cooperation, rather than the complete
merging of the two Conferences into
one body, is contemplated as Offering
the greatest advantages and best oppor-
tunities for agitation.
Not only as whole, but in every one
of its parts the movement is progressing
finely.
Let the campaign open early; let the
ablest speakers Of the united forces be
put in the field and kept there for ten
weeks, and the present breeze may yet
swell into a tornado.
The force Of popular movements can
never be calculated until their unex-
pected results have surprised alike the
most sanguine and the most sceptical.
We shall see!

on the new problems which a rapid

on the new problems which a rapid
industrial Development must necessarily
evolve in progressive community.
These prophecies have not been full
filled, Attempts were made on the side
of the Democratic party to draw lines
of separation on the tariff, on the cur
rency, on civil service reform, and on
other issues of minor importance. But
they we're practically abandoned as soon
as the leaders perceived that the only
result of their persistence in such at
tempts would be the disruption of their
party and the loss of the very offices
which, above all things, they considered
worth fighting for.
Created by capital to serve it, the old
parties cannot today materially differ
on any great question of domestic or
foreign policy, for the single reason
that wage-serfdom having prevailed
over chattel slavery, capital is now at
peace with itself throughout the country.
He who will serve it best by affording it
the greatest security in the enjoyment
of its acquired privileges, and by grant
ing it new monopolies, will receive its
support regardless of the political color
of his livery. The platform work of
political conventions is a perfunctory
duty, the real object of such gatherings
being to nominate for office men that
will prove most subservient to the inter
ests of the common master, and may
thus entitle the party to his kind regard
and omnipotent good will.
The world, however, does not stand
still because blind politicians do not see
it move. Issues evolved by its progress
never wait for time-servers to take them
up. They burst upon the people with
lightning power and in the storm that
follows give birth to new parties.

Is Coercion by Labor Unions JUS.
titled?

When labor first asserted itself by
means of the labor unions there was a
general feeling that such combinations
were dangerous and impracticable, if
not illegal. Society frowned, capital
laughed, and hardly a soul outside the
working classes looked with the slightest
respect upon the parades of the
unions or extended them sympathetic
hand. In many of the trades the men,
bers of union were in the minority
for long while, and from their incep.
ton to the present day these organiza-
tions have travelled thorny path. But,
working from within, purifying and
strengthening themselves, gaining slow
ly but surely rising from every defeat
to renew the struggle with added nerve
and muscle, they are gradually winning
the day. The tone of intolerance has
been gradually dropped by the daily
pre- 8, and, while it often deprecates the
only methods labor can resort to to
establish its principles, it admits the
right of the unions to exist. This is one
long step forward.
1t is trlte saying, but nevertheless
forcible one, that 18th ere is a vast differ
ence betseen meum and tuunl." Those
who thus dispute the right of the
unions to resort to methods through
which alone they can succeed, do not
stop to consider the matter from logical
standpoint, or to reflect that they are
but reducing to practice, toward
small community of individuals, the
very principles of equity which govern
larger ones.
Let us look for a moment at history.

OLD PARTIES AND DEAD IS
SUES,

Political prophets some years ago
were wont to predict that one at least
of the two old parties would undergo a
thorough reorganization upon new prin.
ciples. Their anticipations were founded
on the irrevocable settlement of old
differences; on adjustment of inter-
ests to the resulting conditions; on the
futility of attempting to feed the present
generation, full Of life and aspirations,
upon memories of the past; and finally

A grand meeting it was which they
had in Yonkers last week in favor of
early closing. Three thousand men were
present, besides many women. As the
total population of this city is about
$1,000, the actual number of adult
males cannot be more than 5000; SO that
one-third of the total adult male popula.
ton of Yonkers had actually turned out
on that occasion. Could we, in New
York, turn out in similar proportions,
the cause Of labor throughout the coun
try would advance more in one day than
it did in ten years.

SPEAK OUT PLAINLY.

The San Francisco Arbeiter. Zeitung
takes us to task for having reprinted
from the Weekly Nationalist, under the
heading, ga Nationalist Chic of Police,
an interview with the Chief of Police of
that city. Our contemporary observes,
rightly enough, that no faith can be
put in the fine sentiments which a poll
tician will utter before election, and he
furthermore states that Chief Gro Wiley
is one of the worst agents of capital and
monopoly on the Pacific Coast. To
this, of course, we readily assent. We
did not vouch for Crowley's character,
and in republishing his utterances we
simply meant to show that the progress
of Nationalist ideas on the Pacific Coast
was such that politicians and even
Chief of Police deemed it advisable to
profess them. But our contemporary
does not confne himself to this legiti.
mate, through, perhaps, superAuous
comment. He lectures us on Socialism
and the class movement as if we were a
novice and-let us say it squarely--a if
we could not be his teacher instead of
his pupil. Finally he goes farther and
shows his animus by calling us "a dema-
gogue who consorts with Haskell" The
venomous epithet is below our notice;
but what about this Haskell business?
We do not know Mr.. Haskell personally
and have no other interest in him than
that which we feel in any prominent
advocate of radical ideas, ready to
support him if we believe him
right, ready to oppose him if we
believe him wrong, and ready to con-
denim him if he is prored dishonest.
Now, when split occurred in the Cali
fornia State Convention of Nationalists,
it seemed to us that he was right in op.
posing the election of permanent chair
man of the State Committee. Before
that occurrence we could find nothing
but praise of him in our exchanges,
with the exception of the Weekly Star,
single-tax organ, whose insinuations
as to his financial honesty in the man.
agemept of the Kaweah Colony were
emphatically repudiated by the colony
itself. But as soon as the split occurred
those insinuations and others, without
any proof whatever, were again set
afoat, and among the channels through
which they were disseminated in that
| vague form we noticed the San Fran
cisco Arbeiter. Zeitong. From that time
we abstained from making any reference
to Mr.. Haskell; we wrote to San Fran
cisco for positive information and pa
tiently waited for developments. No
| answer has come, although the parties
to whom we wrote may be supposed to
enjoy the full confidence of the Arbei
ter Zeituag and it was their duty, as
Socialists, to keep us well informed upon
all matters affecting the movement on
the Pacific Coast. Now we demand
and we demand it emphatically-that
the Arbeiter. Zeitung give all the evil
dence in its possession, upon which its
eminently grave but heretofore ex-
tremely vague charges of dishonesty
| against Mr.. Haskell have been made.

SOME STARTLING testimony has been
given in regard to the insurance of chill
dren before the Select Committee of the
House of Lords. According to London
advices, DIR. Barivise, Health Officer for
Blackbourne, testified that he was con-
WINGED that in the case of poor children
insured in his district. it was the wish
of the parents to see the children dead,
and that insurance, even as how as thirty
shillings, generally led to the children
being permitted to waste away. Other
health officers gave similar evidence.

COMMUNICATIONS.
Woman Suffrage.

Woman Suffrage.
Taking up one by one various illustra
tons of the manner in which the denial
to women Of equal political rights works
directly to their industrial disadvantage,
| will relate the experience of friend
of mine, who had situation in the post
Office in San Francisco, she and another
lady being the only two feminine en-
ployes in the establishment.
They were both capable, energetic
and reliable women and soon thoroughly
learned their work. A few months after
they took their positions there was
change of administration and an active
politician was placed at the head of the
office. He at once began sort of per-
secution of the two women. Every
month, when they went to draw their
salaries, he would ask them if they were
not going to resign and express surprise
when they said that they had no such
present intention.
His manner gradually grew so trying
that at last the stronger of the two
feminine clerks determined to ask HIM
why he behaved thus. A conversation
somewhat like this ensued:
Lady-Why, sir, do you ask us every
month if we are not going to resign?
Otcidl-Because it seems to me about
time that you did.
Lady-Why so, are we not faithful to
our duties?
O6tcial-Oh yes, entirely so.
Lady-Do we not do our share of the
work?
Oticial-Yes and more; you are two
of the quickest and most diligent clerks
l have.
Lady-And l think we have never
been absent from our desks.
Otfcial-No indeed, you have not As
matter of fact you and your friend
never go on the little sprees in which
"the boys" so often indulge and which
deprive the Office of their valuable serv-
ices sometimes for day or so at a
time.
Lady-What then can be your reason
for desiring to have us resign?
Oticial-Well, Madam, will be frank
with you. 1t is simply and solely be-
cause you are not voters. You are, take
it all together, two of the best clerks
have. Honest, capable, sober, admir-
able in every way. have no objection
whatever to you personally, but you
are women and therefore not voters, and
l cannot afford to have any one but
voters in this Office. Now, mind you,
do not object to you on the score of
your sex. l think women are as fit for
this work as men, in some respects more
fit; what you are doing is eminently
woman's work. And think that women
should have the same privileges as men;
they should be voters. But at present
they e not; this Office is a political
machine; it should have in its employ
ment only those who can help the party
by their ballots. II we had woman suf-
frage, | would be glad to have you stay.
Until we do want to have you 60.
And he actually made the ladies 50
uncomfortable that within short time
they were forced to resign.

THE ECONOMIC SITUATION.


1t appears from the latest reports that
the wheat crop of the country will
aggregate 420 million bushels. The re-
quirements of domestic consumption
amount 70 about 300 million bushels,
and az the surplus on hand from last
year is fully equal to the quantity re-
quired for seed, the surplus available
for export will be at least 1870 million
bushels.
1t also appears that the corn crop,
though by no means as large as in more
favorable years, will be ample to meet
the requirements of domestic consump-
ton.
No business disturbanc can therefore
come this year from agricultural con-
ditions in the United States. On the
contrary these conditions, by quicken
ing the sale of agricultural products at
an advanced price, may benefit some
what the farming population and
quicken in return the sale of manufac-
lures.
There are, however, other factors that
must be taken into consideration in at
tempting forecast Of economic posi-
bilities. Upon the crops of foreign
countries will largely depend, for in
stance, the outgo and price of the
American surplus. Again, with re-
duced production of cereals trade and
transportation in that special and I'M
portant class Of products must be less
than it has been during the last twelve
months. How far and how soon the
latter circumstance may slacken the
enterprise" Of the plutocrats who con-
troll the avenues Of exchange can only
be now a matter of surmise. its effects
may not be felt for another year, be-
cause most Of the profits lately made
by great corporations will not be dis
tributed in the form of dividends to
their stockholders until the accounts Of
the present year are finally settled. In
the meantime other circumstances may
occur, such as the further investment of
foreign capital in American enterprises,
that will counteract and even over
balance any deficiency" in the income
of oar domestic coupon clippers, The
tendency to such investments is still on
the increase and the recent losses suf-
fered by British capitalists in South
America, while proving a discourage
ment to their ventures in that quarter,
will Furthermore induce them to turn
their stream of surplus money upon the
fruitful soil of the United States. So
long as this may last no sensible de.
crease will occur in the so-called devel-
opment and progress of our industries;
but we should bear in mind that every
time pound sterling drops from Lom-
bard Street into American soil, tax of
fifty cents year is imposed upon
American labor for the support of
British idlers, who, on account of their
absenteeism, are a still greater burden
to our working people than our own
domestic 1eecers.
To sum up. The natural elements of
