BLAcKLIsT1NG.

One amazing fact disclosed by th
investigation OF the federal labor com
mission is the extent OF the blaclslls
system practiced by the railroad com
panies. AS the testimony shows, II al
employe Of a railroad strikes or #
suspected of sympathy with strikers
his name is very often put on this list
Printed copies Of the names are sem
broadcast to employing railroads al
over the country, and it becomes prac
tically impossible for the prescribed
men to get work where the list has
gone. Occasionally. as witnesses testi-
fy, the ban may be evaded by assum-
ing an alias, but even then the terror
of the system pursues its victim, and
ne lives in hourly dread of discovery.
1t is not for the punishment of crime
that this Institution is de glsed. 1t is
designed chiefly to punish activity in
labor organizations and repress every
effort to secure recognition of indl-
vldual rights by the employig corpora
tions. 1t is conspiracy Of unlimited
power for evil pursuing impoverished,
helpless, starving men. Apparently
every great railroad in the country is
a party to the conspiracy. Certainly
most Of those entering Chicago are so
interested.
One witness told the commission that
he had been black-listed for taking
part in recent strike on IA railroad.
Driven from Chicawo by the blacklist,
he had asked for work in Altoona, Pa,
Pittsburg, Pa, and Columbus, Ohio, and
in every case found his name was In
possession of the railroad authorities,
and that the way to work was for him
barred. This is one instance
of many. 1t serves to show that the
companies are engaged in a
secret boycott, vicious in its contempt
Of law, and criminal In its disregard of
humane principles. Quick to invoke the
lid of the courts for the punishment
If other conspirators, the managers of
hese roads should be taught that the
statutes applying to conspiracy are
or employers as well as employed.

Arurki.h Wedding.

An artistic mistress Of the ceremonies,
being congratulated ON the success with
which she had managed the details OF
an English wedding, remarked impa
tiently that there had been one blot on
the scene-namely. the bridegroom
She only wished it could have been ar
ranged for him and his black coat 10 re
main outside in the hrougham till the
thing was over.
Had she received an invitation TO a
Turkish wedding. as once by good luck
did a party Of English ladies. among
whom was the writer Of the present
sketch. her wish might have been graft
fed. as it is quite possible TO attend
such a function without even catching a
passing glimpse Of the crimson fez Of
the husband elect
The latter spends the hours Of his
bridal day in getting married 70 him
self-that is. he visits the priest and
the notary, takes out and signs his mar
riaa-e contract, attends a religious serv

snow was four feet deep on level and
still falling. The passengers had eaten
up everything the train boy had, includ-
ing even mixed candies, and children
were crying for food. A grocery sales
man offered his samples Of tea and cof-
fee, and these were boiled at the engine.
Then started. accompanied by another
passenger, TO 20 to farmhouse to get
some bread and butter. We waded
through the snow, and by the time we
got there were nearly frozen, but we
