State Prolsibltion.

The Egan Express this week comes
out with a very pointed article and asks
as TO the utility of tho prohibitionists
OF the state continually being called
upon to support one Rev. Fielder as
state lecturer, to 60 around over tho
state with a wise look and say that pro-
hibition prohibits. 1t cites that at sew
eral meetings held at Egan a good many
dollars have been raised in this way 10
help defray Fielder's salary. The sug-
gestion is made that IL money is
TO be contributed to this cause,
that 1t 90 to the assistance of
tho enforcement OF the law. The
Express fails to appreciate how talking
about how we'll the law is enforced from
the pulpit and rostrum has any prac-
tical OBJECT upon the workings OF the
law; and hints in short that tho people
are being bamboozled out OF their
money for the only purpose Of hiring
man in the person Of Fielder to 60 over
the state wasting the peoples time that
are really interested in prohibition, and
thinks 1t about time that halt wac
called. Fielder will be remem bered as
the prohibition lobbyist who worked
the legislature last winter. The prohi-
bitionists at the timo charged that 1t
was he who came SO near securing the
defeat OF prohibition and not the lobby

blunderer it Is no wonder that the prohi-
bitionists are becoming trifie weary

Every reader has heard Of the 'sweat.
ing system but no one can realize what
it is unless h or SIZE has seen it in

connection with the manufacture of
clothing, which floulishcs It, the dirtiest

section of the east side. The wayfarer
in the streets abutting on tine east side
of the Bowerv, where the population is
densest and tlo i.Aah'tants and their
surroundings the fltlies;. can hear at
almost every hour of the day and night.
week days and Sundays, the whir of the
sewing macj.'n ne in the tenement houses.
The ''swe0tcr" is usually man who
has been long enough in this country to
acquire sufficient money to purchase a
few sewing machines He knows he can
get any number of ignorant male and
female Immigrants to do the work at his
prices, and he never hesitates to take
advantage of their poverty and igno-
rance, which he turns to his own advan-
tage. He pretends to pay his hands
stipulated wages, but imposes a task, to
accomplish which requires continuous
work for twelve or fourteen hours and
more q day.
He uses his apartments in vile tene-
ment for his work rooms, and all the
functions of family life are performed
in three or four cramped rooms, in many
of which l have seen score of men
and women, half clad, at work. The
garments are piled on floor, bed and ta-
bles. The rags are usually foot deep,
for there is no time for cleanliness.
Every sanitary law is violated and the
health of the operatives is never consid-
cred. Disease of every kind stalks
through the district, but is unheeded in
the desire to make money, and there is
no doubt that the germs of all sorts of
diseases are transmitted throughout the
land in the garments made in the dens
of the sweaters.
The labor leaders have time and time
again started agitations against this sys-
TEN of tenement house work; its evils
and miseries have been written about in
the newspapers. But still it exists. The
only power to break it up is that of the
manufacturers, and it does not seem to
suit their purposes to interfere either on
behalf of the public whose health is at
stake or of the poor benighted creatures
whose necessities force them to accept
such revolving conditions.-J. T. Nc
kechnie in New York Press.
Evening capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1888-1893, 1891-02-03

The gentleman who has charge of the
labor column of The New York Evening
World mixes some gems Of thought
with his news items Here are some
samples, taken at random:
All earnest agitators feel it to be their
duty to create a sense of dissatisfaction
among the laboring classes, as discon-
| tent is the only incentive to make the
masses move.
We have reached the point in this
country where the condition of all classes
of workmen-agriculturai, mechanical
and unskilled-begin to feel the pressure
that is bearing them down, but do not
realize what the power really is.
While labor organizations have ac-
complished much in ameliorating the
condition of the workingmen through
organization, the main lever that must
ultimately lift them out of serfdom has
remained unused. That lever is the bal
lot box.
Without bureaus of labor statistics
the labor movement would not have one
tenth part of the ammunition of fact
and argument wherewith to demolish
the sophistries of the funkeys of capital
ism who from pulpit and desk attempt
to controvert the logic of political econ
omy.
Between the years 1870 and 1880 the
number of children employed at pro-
ductive industries in this country in
creased SO per cent, while the number
Of grown persons increased but "a per
cent. Over "a per cent. of the whole
number of children at work had not at,
tended school twenty weeks in any one
year.
1t is not many years since labor unions
were sneered at, the leaders denounced
as demagogues, and the rank and file
scotfed at by the wiseacres. But won
drous transformation has been brought
about, all in few short years-because
the unions have become a power; and
yet, the power of all the hundreds Of
thousands Of organized workmen will be
naught when compared with the power
Of but three men-Vanderbilt, Gould
and Astor-as long as the workers alb
stain from using their power politically.
