thirteen hours labor And such labor!
Fixed like sentinel to his post to
face the winters blast unprotected"
Almost half the people in the town
of Newcastle, Delaware, are on the
brink of starvation. Newcastle has
5000 inhabitants, nearly three-fourths
OF whom depend on the Delaware iron
mills for living. Two weeks pre-
vious to Christmas the works shut
down, leaving the families of 800 men
without employment. The situation is
becoming alarming, as the idle men
are becoming desperate.
The Seneca Glass Company, at
Morgantown, w. Va, Monday, reduced
the wages of it's $50 hands from 15 to
20 per cent. The men are still at work,
but are threatening to strike. The
company declared a 25 per cent divi-
dend just before the first Of the year.
The management says a pool OF other
manufacturers of tumblers which the
Seneca refused to join, has cut prices
to drive 1t out of the market. and to
meet this competition wages were cut.
Perhaps the workingmen Of Della
ware and West Virginia, majority
of whom voted for Mckinley, are now
more willing to consider Populistic
ideas.
Protectionist Dingley admits that tn,
one string on his musical instrument
will not sound chord of peace and
plenty for the working classes in the
United States. Heretofore it has been
thought that it would, because Dingley
said it would, and Mckinley said 1t
would, and Hanna said it would; but
now Dingley says it won't. He now de-
clares that competition between the
Northern and Southern mills in Amer
lea means continued low wages for
the hands in both sections, and admits
that the protective tariff will not help
the condition. And thus the mirage
of high wages on the protective desert
fades away and leaves the working
men with parched lips and weary
bodies, gazing blan'Sly at the SUM-
scorched plains ahead.

manent or general revival of prosper

There is no possibility of any per-

standard depreciates labor values.
