FERTILE, MINI. June II, '92.
LDITOR GREAT WEST:
One OF the largest, and most en-
thusiastic crowds ever assembled at
Fertile came out yesterday to hear
Mrs. Marion Todd. All business lex

ing the two hours speaking. Mrs.
Todd's address was most refined and
instructive. She talked on the mon

in good shape. Cheer after cheer was
given her, and few who heard her
have any use for the old parties.

too long frittered away and wasted
through interested political agencies,
while aggressions upon the Just rights
Of labor have been augmenting.
1t is high time that wage-earners
turn the cold shoulder to partisan pol
itics, from which they have gained
nothing but betrayal, and use their
great political influence to protect
themselves from the sordid designs OF
conspiring wealth. The lesson of re.
cent labor troubles in the east ought tc
make an impression. The working
millions have in the ballot reserve force
enough to bring corporate greed to
reasonable terms and put an end to the
overbearing insolence that is now al.
most the uniform response to every
offer of compromise or arbitration as 3
means of settling economic differences.
Unfortunately the requirements Of
trades unions, ior the furtherance OF
routine business, having excluded pol
tiles as a distracting partisan element,
the effect has been TO nullify the polit-
ical force of labor, as a distinct factor
in promoting and projecting the inter

deficiency and terminate the wretched
policy of trusting labor's aspirations to
partisan politicians in the pay of cor

just rights of working people.
Should the Loyal Labor league spread
and become national, itwould facilitate
the emancipation of labor in the United
States as no other means can. Labor

THE REAL ISSUE.


Not a Question of Hours and Wages, But
the Right of Labor to Organize Is at
Stakeholder Must Fortify Itself on the
Last Battle Ground.
Organized labor cannot any longer
close its eyes to the nature of the con-
flict upon which it is about to enter. 1t
is not question of hours, or wages or
any other question of minor Importance
or mere detail, but the stake at issue is
the very right of existence of labor or
CARNATIONS and their recognition by
employing manufacturers and operat-
ors. As the Cleveland Plain Dealer
says:
The war now being waged upon organized Ia
Dor is a fight against the force which has
brought wages up to their present standard and
is alone holding them there. The Carnegie
company is willing to take back It's old men,
but they must go back as individuals, not as
members Of the Amalgamated association. 1t
is the test Of long contemplated and deep laid
scheme to crush the power OF the association.
That accomplished, the men will be helpless
and must accept any wages offered This is the
real issue at Homestead
Thus it can be seen that every trades
unionist is vitality interested in the out
come of this terrible conflict, which will
be fight to the finish, waged with des-
perate tenacity on both sides. The New
York Morning Advertiser says:
1t is very clearly demonstrated now, If ii was
not before that the fight at Homestead has
but one purpose, the emancipation Of the Car

the New York Central railway made two years
ago against its employes-not so much Ques'
ton Of wages as of independence
In the very outset Of the Homestead struggle

should ever again work in the Homestead
mills. The new scale appears to have been the
pretext for bringing on the fight Now Jones,

Judge Mccormick, of the United
States court, at Dallas, Tex, rendered
decision in the case of the railroads
against the Texas railroad commission,
deciding every point in favor of the
companies and granting an injunction
against the commission exactly as
prayed for.
This is considered one of the most i'm
portant decisions in years, and it will
probably put an end to the high-handed
doings of state railroad commissions in
general.
In April, 1891, the Texas legislature
appointed a railroad commission which
began to establish rates reducing tariffs
to such degree that all the roads
claimed that they were doing business
at serious loss. Actions were brought
by trustees of the mortgages of several
railroads against railroad companies
themselves and the Texas railroad com.

that they be restrained from continuing
such rates in effect or making new rates
which were not reasonable, restraining
the commissioners and shippers from
bringing actions, claiming forfeiture.
as provided in the act
After full argument the injunction
was granted exactly as prayed for. This
decision protects and is guarantee Il
railroads and holders Of their securitie,
that state commissioners cannot estab
lish and enforce unreasonable rates.

ALLIANCE NOTES.

If money was robbed of its interest

power to absorb the wealth produced
by productive labor.
-"Exploiters' and promoters" issue
bonds and mortgage the future labor of
sons of toll Why should not the peo-
pie loan capital to labor itself upon its
bonds.
One days subsistence, free access to
natural opportunities and daily mar
ket for its product, is all labor needs
to make it independent, not of capital,
but of capitalists.
Why should labor, which produces
all wealth, grovel in AFFECT poverty and
toll for bare subsistence, while the
drones, who toll not, fare sumptuously
and are clad in purple and fine linen?
How can the nation thrive when
the people are compelled, by reason Of
debt, to pay higher rate of interest

per cent made by them in the pursuit
of their calling?-Exchange.
The real fight to-day is within the
lines of hired men. Capital pays some

The Militia Is a Standing Menace to the
Liberties Of the People.
Great excitement prevails in this city
among the workingmen and radicals of
all shades of opinion over the revolu-
tionary aspect of the labor movement
The facts that the troops in New York.
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Idaho and
Wyoming have been called out to Do
tect the capitalist system in its unjust
privileges marks momentous crisis in
the history of this country. The Volks.
Zeitung truly says: THE spirit of
Homestead is abroad in the land" In
this assertion the producers of wealth
should steadily bear in mind that the
calling out of the military force is usu-
ally done under false pretenses. Thus
it was in Idaho, Wyoming and Pennsyl-
vania. When Mr.. Frick caused the
gathering of the militia in Homestead he
sttaed he had four or five thousand men
ready to go to work as soon as the state
would protect them. Under that plea
the mobilization Of the whole militia
took place. Nearly two months have
since passed, and the mills at Home
stead are still short of hands, although
lies and. receptions have abundantly
been practiced to inveigle the unwary.
1t appears that the strikes in Buffalo
have produced similar developments
The militia becomes more and more a
tool of the greedy plutocrats.
Never in the history of industrialism
has there been such utter discontinue
as the failure of the ignorant tyrant
Frick to make steel without skilled la
Dor. Forts have been erected, mercen-
aries hired to murder, law ignored,
press bribed, credulous public insult
ed with the Bergman humbug, armies
marshaled and millions spent in ruin
and folly. But no steel has yet been
made at Homestead. Could Carnegie
and Frick gracefully retreat by ac-
lnowledging the organization of steel
workers undoubtedly they would do so.
The time seems not to have been ripe

spiracy against organized labor, and
