unionists in non-union shops, and has
promised to pay trade union wages in
the government dock yards. Lastly, to
protect workmen from accidents and to
secure them damages in cases Of injury,
the government is pressing through par
lament an employers liability bill, so
thorough that John Burns declares it
to be another Magma Chsrts of labor.
The manner Of all this is even more inn
portsnt than the matter. When the
government, the largest employer Of Ia
Dor, sets such an example Of respect for
the new aspirations Of the people, it gives
the program Of the labor movement the
prestige Of patriotism.
All these are concessions; they have
been forced out Of the government-the
largest employer Of lsbor-by the un-
cessing agitation Of organized labor.
"Englsnd," says Gladstone, "never con-
Cedes anything to Ireland, except when
moved to do 80 through fear" The
working masses Of Great Britain scared
the classes into giving them the vote and
surrendering the monopoly Of govern
msnt. With q vote they have gone to
work to scare them out Of their other
monopolies one after the other. In all
the reforms, Of suffrage, hours Of labor,
abolition Of the contract system, organ
lzsd labor has been the apex and the
bulk and the force Of the wedge splitting
its way through class government in
politics and industry. What the work
iDRmen have got is but the beginning.
They, too, want "more." AT their trade
union congresses they have demanded
that lands and mines be nstionslized,
and at Belfast the last congress pledged
itself ITO the principle of the collective
ownership and control of al the means
Of production and distribution" Our
English brothers could not have done
this without the trade unions, but they
could not have done it with their trade
unions alone. They used their power of
organized labor as stepping stone to
the greater power Of organized citizen
ship. They have put labor members into
the city councils, into parliament, on the
magistrates bench. "The political labor
movement in England is booming" Kelr
Hsrdies writes me from the house Of
commons. "At the municipal election
this fall the labor vote ranged from 30 to
so per cent. Of the total vote cast. In
some cases the liberals coRlesced with
the tories, and Vice VersG, and in every
case the labor men stood on strictly in
dependent lines. When the parlismen-
tRry election comes the labor vote will
decide it in nearly every industrial con-
stituency.
The battle Of Bunker Hill was fought
by q general who died without desiring
American independence. Washington,
John Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, all are
on record as striving not for independ-
snOs, but for colonial rights. This was

q living wage or no coal! In taking this
position the miners stood for no more
than what Mill, Ricardo, and all the
great economists have declared to be the
true law Of wages. The public came to
their support. Members OF parliament,
some Of the nobility, more than one
mine owner gave money and encourage
ment. A daily newspaper in London
raised $4,000 to feed the starving.
Large numbers Of the clergy Of all
denominations took part in the relief
work, and, more important, declared in
public that the demand for q liviug wage
was one no people could remain Christian
and deny. The clergy Of Bristol united
in q formal public statement to this
effect.
Men, women, and even children who
could not spare money sacrificed
watches, rings, anything that could be
sold. Ben Tlllett, the labor leader, gave
his bicycle. Miss Frances e. Willard, Of
Chicago, then in England, gave her
watch. The women where collieries were
at work sent to the mothers in idle dis.
tricts to bring their starving children to
their homes to share with their own chill
dren, though these had net enough.
Mothers wept for JOY at the chance thus
to surrender to strangers little once
whom they could not feed, and whom
they might never see again. 1t is in such
blood-red letters as these that our theory
that labor is commodity imprints its' II
in the lives of the people. The defeat for
the demand for reduction of wages is
much; but it is more that the miners
have burned these new words Of the
living wage into the bill Of rights. 1t
was the union of the miners which made
this resistance and this counter advance
possible. Had the business men broken
down the principle Of the living wage
they would have moved on to strike
down the union, The men on their side
must not stop. They must take the
next step. The next step to the principle
Of the living wage is the living wage
itself The living wage is that share in
the products Of the common toll which
belongs to men, and men, the best au-
thority tells US, are born equal, with in
aliensble rights to life, liberty, and the
pursuit Of happiness. Alternate one right,
the smallest right to life, liberty, or
happiness, and the wage is less than the
living wage. "I have right to be q
man." said Francis Lieber, "becsuse /
am q man." That is the living wage,
and to realize it is the sure destiny of
organized labor. 1t was the work Of our
forefathers to establish the truth that no
one shall govern a country without the
consent Of it's people. 1t is our work to
establish the equally selisvident truth
that no one shall govern an industry
without the consent Of the people. "The
right to work" was q phrase Of fire which
few out Of the mouth Of senator Of the
United States during the heat Of the
excitement at Homestead. But "the
right to work" is half truth. A great
student Of men says that it is half truths
which lead them. But even so, there is
another half truth beyond this which has
also it's power Of leading. Besides the
right to work stands as Of equal majesty

man. and substituting for it direct deal
ing by the city with it's men. TIE first
experiment in this new policy has been a
success. The estimate Of the councils
engineer for new sewer in York road,
Lambeth, was $4,000. Wben bids were
called for the lowest wes $4,000. The
council rejected the bids and did the
work themselves. It cost only $4,000.
The saving was $32 900 on $4,000, nearly
so per cent. The work was better done
than contract work. John Burns told
the council that he had been on the job
from start to finish because he was deter
mined that it should be q good job.
with regard to the excellence and durs-
bility Of workmanship there was no
comparison between the work done by
the council and work done by the con-
tractors, particularly in unseen work"
A member of the council who was
builder and contractor confirmed this
and said that better piece Of work had
never been donein London, and this was
ratified by others. The success has stlm-
ulated the council to order the adoption
OF the same plan in other improvements.
In New ZEALAND, too, the government has
abolished the contractor in building rail-
roads and other public works. The work
is given out by the public officials in sec
tions to the workingmen, who organize
themselves in cooperative groups, se-
lecting their own foreman, and share
alike in the earnings. 1t is to the
union, to the preaching of the principles
OF the trade union and the perfection Of
the discipline with which the working
men have fought for and upheld their
union that this remarkable new depart
ure is due. The elimination Of the con-
tractor means many things. 1t is the
reputation of indirect sWeRting-thst
mesnest parasitism upon the poor, dis
claiming responsibility because done
through agents. 1t is the repudiRtion
of sweating altogether. When the people
are the employer and the people are the
employe, there will bs no sweating. 1t is
the repudiRtion of profit hunting, and in
stead of the selhshness Of the individual
makes the welfare of all the star to steer
by. 1t means q saving in the common
toll and an increase OF wealth, for We 6nd
the higher motive produces the better
and cheaper work; and it means step,
and a long one, towards closing the gulf
between the too rich and the too poor,
for it stops the abstraction Of profit. The
London county council is now discuss
ing q plan for constructing system of
electric railroads, underground in the
city, above ground beyond, in order to
scatter its congested working people into
homes in the green fields and pure air of
the country. A man will be carried
twenty miles for four cents, because the
road will be built by the city and oper-
sted by the city. The city can get money
at 3 per cent. instead Of 6 per cent. 1t
has to pay no Doodle for the franchise no
dividends on wstered stock.
Since coming into power the Gladstone
administration has done several notable
things. Both the war office and the ad-
mirslty have increased the rate of pay
to meet the aspirations of labor for a
living wage, and the war department,

with it?" This right, like all other
rights, can be kept healthy ouly by exer-
else. The liberty Of union can be pre-
served only by using the union to get
more liberty. Tue workingmsn have the
vote, but there ara signs in plenty that
il they do not use it to free themselves
in other ways, they will lose that right
and all the other freedoms that are
clustered with it. "Too many people
vote in Ohio" the counsel Of a great
trust said lately in the United States
courts. A constitutional convention is
about to be held in New York, and one
Of the reforms to be pressed ia some
qualification OF the suffrage, to put an
end to this evil Of "too many people
voting" Never have the people-the
working people-hsd the right, the light,
the might they have now. There are
many periods in the past which shine
like golden ages in contrast with our
own, but only at points and for single
moments. There were mo- psupers and
no unemployed in our fstherlSnds-Gar-
many or Ireland or Eugland-in the
good old times when society was organ
lied in the village communities and the
land held in common, But, as we'll, there
was no right to change your trade, your
place, your religion. You were not what
you are to-dsy-R person, a man, q citizen
but only one Of tribe, guild, parish.
Thorod Rogers tells us Of the golden age
Of labor in England in the fifteenth CEN
tury, when eight hours was the working
day in town and country, and when men
were dear and living was cheap. Bot in
that golden age coal miner, a salt
worker, was not man. He was cres-
ture Of the pit. Once a miner, always
miner, even unto the third and fourth
generation of his descendants, and q
fixture Of the property, sold with its sale
to any new owner. II we can look back
ward to those days when longing, through
the windows Of our common schools and
our voting booths, il is because we have
lost the virtue to look forward, and it
will come true again that those who
Rvevt their faces from the hopes and the
duties that call them on will turn to stone
pillars of sslt-Rnd Of salt that has lost
it's SAVIOR. From him that hath not shall
be taken even that which he hath. To
the man who is free and would remain
free, fate is policeman uttering the per.
petusl word "Move on"
The coal miners Of England, in their
recent contest with the mine owners, did
more than resist demand for reduc-
tion OF wages. They carried the stand
ard Of their rights to a new height. They
demanded that hereafter the cost Of q
decent life for the man who mined should
be fixed charge on the product Of the
mines; that in the fluctuations Of supply
and demand there should be q line-s
life line, not dead line-below which the
share Of labor should not 60. The de-
mani for q living wage was a rebellion
Of the people against the malsdministrs-
tion OF their lives and labor, their prop
srty and their liberty, by others. 1t was
an insurrection against the decree Of
business that wages shall follow prices,
and prices know no law but the Competl-
tion between traders. We and our wives

ceeded in converting this delectable
pair of Smiths? Some mighty change
has occurred, What is 1t? Do the
Smiths take the past of the Tribune
and silently agree to throw over that
miserable history the mantel of
charity If so this charity is equal to
that of Him who died for sin
ners. If not, then there is
bargain, which, for corruption,
beats all the corruption Of the past.
We believe it would pay the citizens
of Utah, of any an d all creeds, or of no
creed at all, to endeavor to uuearth the
bonds of this most unlikely, unseemly
and unnatural combination or conspiT-
acy, but m5re especially of our fellow
citizens of the Mormon church. We
may rest perfectly assured that where
men of such widely discovered views
come together III this way, there is
some powerful cause operating We
must seek for and find this cause if we
would guard ourselves from injury.
Some traitorous work is being done
either against the chur ch or the ter
ritory. Whatever it is, it must be
sought out and a remedy be applied.
What a spectaclel The Smiths Of the
Mormon church working harmoniously
with the bltterest enemy of that church
on eartI, is a circumstance which
should arouse suspicion in the church.
