Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1897-08-20

Of the lowest degree. This publication
deplores the fact that they, the grocers.
only pay six to ten dollars per week
to their clerks, while steam filters are
paid three to FIVE dollars per
day, many of them working six or
eight hours a day. And when organi-
cations of this kind undertake to die
tate to capitalists and builders and the
public generally what they are deter
mined to have done; when by force and
intimidation and bribery they seek to
keep other men from laboring who are
willing to work, we think 1t is high
time for our authorities to call hall"
AS parting shot, after referring to a
possible strike in the building trades,
the "ofiicial organ" says:
Should such an unfortunate thing
happen, it would take millions of dol
lars out of the hands of deserving peo-
pie who might have had profitable en-
ployment all the season but for the
idiotic attitude of the trade unions or
the walking delegates who control
them"
1t is mystery how a member Of a
trade union can spend dollar In a
store whose proprietor is member Of
the Grocers and Butchers Association.

In the Land OF Hard Times.
From the palace of Ease my lady set
out,
Her carriage wheels shone in The
light;
Her fields lay fertile and green about
And she wondered how any blind soul
could doubt
That God rules ever in might.
And she marveled greatly how sin and
shame
To this fair world came
There gazed from a window across the
way
A creature pallid and gaunt;
Her cheeks were hollow, her face was
gray;
And hard, deep lines by the hard mouth
lay,
For she dwelt in the House of Want.
And look like curse came into her
eye
AS my lady rode by.
oue udlcu llc Wollu ludl udu uS6Q ler
i'll;
She was bitter with discomfort;
She was weary of toll in the dull tread
mill
Where she wasted her life in the effort
to fill
The mouth Of that monster Rent.
She hated the owners of acres abroad.
And she doubted God.
Oh, woman, weary of toll and pain,
No wonder your heart is gall.
God gave His people a wide domain.
He gave us the seasons, the sun and
the rain.
And room and food for us all.
1t is man, the author of selfish crimes,
Who brings hard times.
Oh, Lady Fair, in your Castle of Ease,
You are happy and well content;
But what would you do were you one
of these
Who toll and suffer and starve and
freeze
To fatten the monster, Rent?
Yet God rules ever, and right some
day
Must have its own way.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

The expulsion of Mr.. Tom Mann from
Paris has been attended by some very
curious incidents, says a foreign ex-
change. He went as the representative
of the International Dock and Riverside
Workers. He prepared the address but
was not allowed to deliver it, and 1t
was read in French by the secretary of
the union. Mr. Mann was ordered to
leave, and had to give an assurance
that he would not attend any meeting
during the twenty-four hours allowed
to him. Subsequently the project of the
Seine was taken to task for prohibit
ing the lecture, and vote of censure
upon him was carried by 43 to 10; and
questions were put to the minister Of
the interior as to the expulsion of the
lecturer. Then came a clever trick on
the part of one of the labor leaders
the speech of Mr.. Tom Mann was
handed over to one Of the municipal
council of Paris and was read, by which
means it became a public official docu-
ment, published by authority and
posted all over Paris. 1t is about the
neatest thing ever done by a represent
alive of labor, in conjunction with one
who sympathized with it in public
body. If the lecture had been allowed,
only few would have heard it, and
but small proportion would have read
the report of it.; now it will have a
wide circulation all over Franco

To give money for votes is univer-
sally conceded to be politically immor-
al, but to give Office for votes is vastly
worse, says DR., c. X. Adams. It has
led to the RELOCATION of the Golden Rule
to. the rubbish heap of obsolete non
sense. In the place Of the maxim, DO
unto Others as you would have others
do unto you," 1t raises aloft the shame
less substitute, do up your political
opponent before he has chance to do
you up"

Illinois New Child Labor Law.

The new child labor law entities Hi
nois to rank with Massachusetts, New
York and Michigan, the foremost
states in legislation for the protection
of children. The new law is an ex-
tension of the old law, which prohibit
ed the employment of children in
workshops and factories. The prohi-
bition has now been extended to
stores, laundries, Offices and most
places where young children are en-
ployed. Children between the ages Of
fourteen and sixteen years of age are
required to have age affidavits before
being permitted to work. The employ
ment of children under sixteen years
of age at any extra hazardous employ
ment is forbidden. The New York law
contains one excellent provision which
is not embodied in the new Illinois law
That is the one forbidding the employ
ment of children between the ages of
fourteen and sixteen who cannot read
easily and write legibly simple English
sentences. Such provision was en-
bodied In the bill originally introduced
introduced at Springfield, but was
stricken out for fear it might endanger
the passage of a measure that Is a
great advance on the present law. But
on the whole the child labor legisla
ton Of Illinois is such as to reflect
credit upon the state and to give it a
right to be classed with the foremost
in that regard
The complement of laws against
child labor should be effective COM
pulsory education laws. 1t is as i'm
portant to keep the child in school as
to keep it out of the workshop. Illi-
nois is weak in this regard. The cum
polsary education law now upon the
statute books is of practically no value
whatever.
While the laws of Illinois against
child labor are now fairly satisfactory,
it must be remembered that this is the
only phase of factory legislation in
which the state is abreast of the times.
Illinois has developed into a manu-
featuring state so rapidly that the
people are not yet fully awake to the
need of legislation along these lines.
Attention should next be directed to
the requiring of safeguards for the
protection Of life and limb. The law
ought to provide that dangerous ma
chinery be safeguarded, and that pre-
cautions be thrown around the use of
elevators, careless handling Of which
frequently leads to loss of life. In
manufacturing establishments acct
dents often happen as the result of
freight elevator shafts being left in
)uch condition that persons may STUN
BILE into them. Careful reports would
show the number of preventable &C.
ridents in Illinois to be very great, and
the power of the state should be used
to reduce the number, as it is in some
of the older manufacturing states and
in advanced European countries.
Mrs. Florence Kelley, who has been
state factory inspector since that Office
was created four years ago, has had
much to do with getting the new child
labor law upon the statute books

The British consul general in Japan,
in a recently issued report, states that
lowing to the financial depression in
America, that country has made its ap-
pearance as a serious competitor with
Europe in the supply Of machinery,
rails, nails and pig iron. 1t has been
stated that American nails have been
sold largely in japan about the end OF
1896 at so per cent. lower than prices
current in the United States, and these
goods altogether defied the competi-
ton of German makers, who have hith-
erto held the trade. About 10000 tons
of American rails were sold to Japan
at lower prices than British makers
were willing to accept" Another mat
ter of some Importance, and one which
may have considerable bearing on the
future Of the American iron and steel
trade, is discussed in Mr.. Sanderson's
report, It is, that the United States,
not content with its enormous railway
mileage, is providing means for i'm
proving it's water carriage. The ex-
listing canals, such as the Erie, the
Champlain, the Oswego, the Black
River, the Cayuga and Seneca, are to
be widened and deepened. Besides
this. a commission of inquiry as to
deep-water canals has recently made a
report.

Mrs. Hattie B. Bemis, Nebraska
woman, says 1t is the farmers wives
who really do the work on their hus-
bands acres, while the men reap the
credit and profit. She proposes to give
Che gentler sex a chance to "go 1t
alone" She owns tract Of land in
Dawes and Sioux counties, Neb., which
she intends to give to cooperative
community of women on condition
that they work it themselves without
the assistance of male farm hands.
She will furnish them with money to
last until the first crop is harvested,
and will guarantee any Indebtedness
they may incur in the purchase of ma
chinery and stock while getting &
start. She already has in mind twelve
women to whom she proposes to give
the land. All are farmers widows and
all are in destitute circumstances. Mrs.
Bemis thinks they deserve assistance,
and is sure they will know fully as
well how to go to work as would like
number of men. She hopes to make
farming popular with women and de-
clares there is no reason why they
should not find it we'll suited to them.

A bill has been pending before the
British parliament which is in the ma.
ture of an amendment to the Employ.
ers' Liability Act of 1880, and If passed
will compel all employers in railway
factory, mine, quarry or engineering
work to compensate an employe or his
heirs for injury or death occasioned by
accident. The amount of compensation
for the death Of employe having family
or other dependents shall not be less
than f150 ($720) nor more than f30(
Isl, 440). If the deceased has no de.
pendents the compensation shall cover
medical and funeral expenses not ex-
ceeding f1O ($4S). Any weekly pay
ments made during illness will be de-
Quoted in final settlement. A pecul-
lar feature of this amendment is the
apparent fact that employers are held
responsible for all accidents, even
though precautions have been taken to
avoid such accidents. The difference in
compensation paid on account of death
of married and unmarried employees
would seem to indicate that in order to
avoid large compensations employers
would avoid, so far as possible, the en-
ployment of married persons.
