Get Out of the Hole.


We repeat elsewhere our challenge
of Saturday in the matter of the print
ing of the annual report of the Scran-
ton board of trade, which has been
farmed out by the committee on print
ing to an obscure firm of job printe RS
down in Wilmington, Del. Our offer
of Saturday is still open; if it is not
sufficiently attractive we are willing to
,enlarge it.
1t will be news to many printers in
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, not to
speak Of the various establishments in
this city, that they cannot do half
tone plate printing and that, therefore,
the distinguished authority who pre-
sides over the deliberations of the
printing committee of the Scranton
board of trade is compelled to recon-
mend to the board that it go, not only
outside of Scranton, but also clear out
side the entire keystone state for work
in this easy line. Under the circum-
stances we do not wonder that the
Scranton Typographical union, both
through formal resolutions and through
the communication from its president,
printed on another page, should
warmly resent this gratuitous and ab-
solutely uncalled for reflection upon
the printers aud publishers of Scran-
ton.
The amount Of money involved in
this particular transaction is trivial;
but the principle is most important.
The Scranton board of trade has been
put in the unpleasant and indefensible
position of announcing to the business
world a deliberate and unqualified
falsehood; namely, that there is not in
this enterprising city firm of publish
es capable of doing one of the COM
monest forms of commercial printing.
This is not only an untruth injurious
to the printers of Scranton; it is one
which renders every member of the
board of trade inconsistent and hypo-
critical in asking Scrantonians to pat
ronize and encourage home industries.
The board cannot afford to remain in
this embarrassing position.

second Waterloo.

THE UTTER collapse of the charges
of M. w. Donnelly against Professor
Robert Shiel, principal of the public
schools of Pittston, while not unex-
pected, is instructive. Donnelly, it is
believed, tried to damage Professor
Shiel, who is capable educator, be-
cause the latter took no stock in Don
nelly's pretensions as a political "Re-
former" "The man recovered from the
bite; the dog it was that died.n

A PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT.
cCranfcn Record.

A paid fire department equipped to ex-
tinguish fires and protect property from
damage by water should be established
ana maintained in Scranton. The present
voluntary department is deserving OF
praise and gratitude, but it is too much to
ask, too much to expect that the devoted
ness to duty characteristic Of our firemen
and go freely and generously given should
be continued. Men can not be expected to
continue to be animated by sentiment to
the sacrifice Of ease of their own interests,
often Of health and occasionally Of life,
especially when they begin to realize that
the property to be protected could afford
to maintain permanent fire department
to the benefit Of worthy men, who would
thus obtain lucrative employment.

AT whose expense is all this activity
at the custom house? Sugar being a
necessity which we do not produce
here in America to sufficient extent to
supply the home market, this $9l, 800
duty on the Java raw sugar will'event-
ually come, not out of the pockets Of
the importer, but out of those of the
American consumer. In this one case
the tariff will, indeed, be tax, levied
upon every American home. AS for
the foreign-made general merchandise
which is so anxious to pour into the
American market, statistics prove that,
on an average, for every $4 worth that
gets in, one American workingman is
thrown out Of employment.
Does it pay thus to transfer our
prosperity to foreign lands?

ITS GOING To BE SETTLED.

About everybody in this country now
out of a job wants one. We are a nation
of workers ard when there is work for
all who desire IT prosperity $ marked if
not excessive. The conflict between the
employer and the employed is one not of
the wish or choosing of either, and the
conditions which give rsie TO such con-
fiict is disastrous to both alike. Both
are simply guarding against losing
their all, and the all Of the one is Just as
much to the one as to the other Capt.
tai. in the way money hides itself at
such times in comparative safety, but
neither the capital or the labor which
sustains an industry can hedge in secret
security.
In the late strike industries throughout
the country were forced to fill the places
of the striking men with others or sub
nit to such injury as would prove dis
astrous in most instances.
Now that the strike has been declared
off conflict arises between the man
who ''walked out" and the man who
walked ill.," In some localities it is a
bitter conflict and personal. The nom
union individual who accepted the vaca-
ted place is called "scab" by the union
man, hence not only bad blood but in
timidation and abuse.
The result will be organization against
organization, the country over, at all
points where the strike included any
great numbers. At Brazil, Indiana, a
fund of 81, 500 has been raised by the
so-called scabs for the purpose of prose-
cutting in the courts those who assault or
interfere with their right to labor for
the wages agreed upon. So, sooner or
later, it will be defined and determined
as to an individuals right to cease work
and TO prevent others from taking his
place: in other words, whether the en-
ployed has as great an interest and as
much OF "say" in an industrial enter
prise in which he is employed, as the
man or men have who establish and
sustain it.
The laborer takes no risk who gets his
wages regularly. It's the man who pays
the wages that must take the chances of
pay or no pay.
