Alcohol Causes John Pallas TO For

Agent Parkman, of the Board of Chill
drens Guardians, has taken charge of
the five children of John Pallas, of No.
6O5 Seventh street southwest. Pallas is
q widower, and his chldren-two boys and
three girls, the eldest but fourteen and the
youngest 4 baby of three years--have been
cared for by his houSekeeper. Up to a
short time ago Pallas was employed as a
plate printer in the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, and earned $3.50 per month.
About three weeks ago he went upon q
protracted spree. This caused him to lose
his job, and as a consequence the family
were left in destitute circumstances, and
the little ones have received no care or
attention. Neighbors complained to the u
thoritics, and until the children can again
be provided for by the father they will be
under the supervision of the Board of Chill

large audience, composed of Knights
of Labor, trades unionists, socialists and
single-taXers, assembled at the Labor Bu-

j. Mahlon Barnes, of Philadelphia, lee
ture on "Old and New Trades Unicnism."
The meeting was presided over by Mr..
Arthur Keep, the president of the Wash
ington branch OF the social labor party.
After giving a brief history OF the
origin of trades unionism, Mr.. Barnes di-
rected his argument TO prove the incom-
potency and untrustworthiness of many
eXponents of trades union principles. These
he characterized as 'fakirs' who brought
indictment against themselves WHEN they
did as President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, did at Philadelphia,
when he appealed TO trades unionistS not
to Introduce politics into the movement
In what other way, or through what
other means,'' Mr.. Barnes asked, 'will
the wage-earners of the country ever sue

He argued tnat the policy of any political
party affected all workingmcn alike. and
Ior this reason they should all belong to
one party.

franchisement of the toiling masses. These
are powerful weapons, and the socialists
admit it, but favor supplcmenting them
with one still more powerful-the freed

hard fight with the capitalists on the
one side and the 'fakirs' on the other. but
with the aid of the intelligent ballot of
the honest workmen they Will win in the

Mr.. Barnes then discussed the effect The

all trades and crafts. 1T has he said.
"a wonderful levelling influence on all
classes; it places the aristocrat and la
borer on the same plane and brings them
together at the same free soup howl
The socialists have repeatedly asked
trades Unionists for the remedy and their
silence cOnvicts them of incompetency.
