The space at my command does not
permit even a synopsis Of the testi-
mony adduced from day to day before
the federal industrial commission. A
careful reading of it shows one thing
above all else: That working people
must organize. Right in the same ter
ritory they get more pay than unor-
ganized. Many employers testify that
they have no use for unorganized men.
Evidence also shows that the crea-
ton of trades councils is beneficial. \
trades council is a union of unions,
and in a sense unions remaining iso-
lated when circumstances permit fed
Grafton are in the position Of unor-
ganized men as compared with orga-
nized. 1t was shown by good evil
dence that where unions had formed
trades councils and intelligently Off
cered them, conditions had improved,
wages advanced, strikes had grown
less frequent and differences with en-
ployers less numerous.

and that they are necessary. which n
not so certain. That trusts are monop-
olists as we'll goes without saying. One
Of the latest illustrations Is the action
Of the tin plate trust, that has started
in to squeeze the sheet mill owners on
| plan similar to that used by them In
compelling the manufacturers OF tin
mill machinery to enter into contracts
with them for five years. Sheet own
ers are now unable to secure set OF
new rolls unless they sign an agree
ment not to use the rolls for rolling
plates for timing. In years past, when
organized labor knew less than now,
single unions or large bodies occa-
sionally overlooked the fact that they
were not the whole beach, but sim
ply pebble on it, and not the only
one at that. Trouble followed every
time, and just as regularly lodged with
the organization that had overlooked
that great fact. Labor has learned.
1t has printed by mistakes. New trusts
are pursuing the same course, that
persist in travelling it. Trusts want
the earth. They want TO dictate hours
and wages. They want to control mar
kets, say what and how much you
may produce; when, where, to whom,
and at what price you are to sell 1t.
All this will lead to the smashing OF
trusts. l believe that the same genu-
inc American spirit that forced the
abandonment of the "bulldoze" princi-
pie by trades unions will force the
abandonment of that same policy by
trusts. Trusts will certainly go to
smash, unless there is evolved in the
conflict a new sort Of trust-one that
is wise, just, fair, and therefore beneh-
cent. l think 1t likely that such q
trust will be evolved. Conditions de-
mand great concentrated movements
in the Industrial field, rather than
smaller, disconnected ventures. Some
men, when they refer to the coming,
righteous trust, call it national con-
troll. governmental or municipal own
ership, state socialism, aud other
names. l don't pretend to know ex-
actly what the beneficent trust will be
like, or what it will be called, but 1t
is bound to come-is coming fast. Mu-
nicipal ownership of public utilities Is
making progress, not only as theory.
but In actual practice. That's simply
one way of trying to evolve the inev-
table beneficent trust.

The following extract from the call
for the annual convention of the In
ternational 'Longshoremens associa-
ton, to be held at Buffalo, N. Y, July
II, calls attention to the hardest kind
of facts, and should receive the at
tention of every workingman or wom-
an. After it has received attention,
the conclusions reached should be act
ed upon. Here it is:
Every effort is being made to make
this convention one of the largest and
most thoroughly representative yet
held, so that every branch of the craft
may receive due attention. We're it
not for the fact that the longshore-
men had banded together under the
banner of the International Long
shoremen's association, their condi-
tons would not be what they are to-
day, but unity in action resulted in
many enjoying fair living. But there
are yet many things to be done; many
of our people are yet unorganized, and
1t is to their interest to point out to
them the necessity of afliliation. The
stronger we are in numbers of locals,
the less we will have to fear the oppo-
sition. The International is what the
delegates to the convention make it.
Select as your representatives men Of
good, sound judgment; men who are
conservative in thought, yet ready for
action. Upon the delegates you send
depends the future of our association,
and it is necessary for each local to be
represented by its proper number of
two. At no time would it be more i'm
portant that each local be represented
than at this convention. The vessel
interests are fast combining and merg-
ing into a trust. If it is beneficial for
the carriers 1t is certainly equally good
for us to complete our trust, which is
more perfect than that of the car
riers."
What this call impresses upon long
shoremen should and must be i'm
pressed upon every worker, and lived
up to by every worker, if labor is to
get where it ought to be.

Eschew Secrecy.

The International Typographical
union at Springfield, Mass, has re-
solved that hereafter representa- dives
of the press and employing printers
who may choose to attend shall be ad-
mitted to the meetings Of the union.
This action was taken after discus
sion which brought out the advantages
to be derived by trades unions from
publication of the truth about their
work, and by disabusing the minds OF
employers as to secret and disored-
table methods of conducting union
business. l see that this action is
being widely noted in the press as be-
ing probably the first time trades
union in the United States has adopt
ed such an open policy" While it may
not be the first time, it certainly is a
radical departure from time-honored
custom, and step in the right direc-
ton. Whatever is done in secret
arouses suspicion Of its fairness.
Neither have l ever known employ
ers to have been ignorant of what was
going on in unions, if they cared par
ticularly to find out. The rule OF Sc
crecy keeps matters secret only when
no one cares to learn about them.
Open meetings should be the rule
everywhere. They must be, il orga-
nized labor is to receive general rec
ognition as body Of dignity second to
none. Nothing, believe, would more
rapidly advance the cause of labor
than the removal of secrecy from its
meetings. Secrecy may have been nee
essary in the past, when 1t was al
most a crime to belong to union.
That day has gone. 1t is now held rs
honorable to belong to union as 1t
is to be member of church, po-
litical party, or a benevolent society.
The removal of secrecy does not mean
that every counsel of the union shall
be open to the world, any more than
open sessions of congress mean that
every word spoken by committee in
elaboration must be uttered in loud
voice before a gallery of spectators
A union, as firm, must at times de-
,liberate with no outsiders present
But there is a wide difference between
going into executive or secret session
when necessary and constantly saying
to the world that under no circum-
stances must the light Of day penetrate
to where you work.
Labor is giant. It's counsels are
honorable. Its ends create a better
America The more labor is under
stood, the greater will grow it's inf1u-
ence. Remove the veil, that all the
world may see, learn, admire.

Wherefore?

Black sea- black sky! A ponderous steam
ship driving
Between them, laboring westward on
her way,
And In her path q trap of Deaths con-
irving
Waiting remorseless for its easy prey.
Hundreds of souls within her frame lie
dreaming,
Hoping and fearing, longing for the
light
With human life and thought and feeling
teeming.
She struggles onward through the star
less night.
Upon her furnace fire new fuel flinging,
The swarthy firemen grumble at the
dust
Mixed with the COAL when suddenly up
springing.
Swift through the smokestack like a
signal thrust.
Flares red flame, a dread illumination!
A cry Of tumult Slowly to her helm
The vessel yields mid shouts of acclama-
ton,
And joy and terror all her crew Ger
whelm;
For, looming from the blackness drear
DtlOTe lHeH
Discovered is the extraordinarily seem
Its ghastly precipices hanging Ger them;
Its REDEEMED peaks, with dreadful
chasms between.
Ere darkness swallows 1t again. and
veering
Out of its track, the brave ship onward
Just grazing ruin. Trembling still and
fearing,
Her grateful people melt in prayers and
tears.
Is 1t a mockery, their profound thanks
giving?
Another ship goes shuddering to her
Unwarned that very night, with hopes
as living,
With freight as precious. lost amid the
gloom;
With not a ray to show the apparition
Waiting to slay her. none to cry Be
ware!"
Rushing straight onward headlong to per-
dition,
And for her crew no time vouchsafed
for prayer!
Could they have stormed heavens gate
with anguished prayer
1t would not have awaited feathers
weight
Against their doom. Yet were they dis
obeying
No law of God, to beckon such fate.
And do not tell me the Almighty Master
Would work a miracle to save the one
And yield the other up to dire disaster,
BY merely human justice thus outdone!
vainly we weep and wrestle with our sor-
row.
We can not see His roads, they lie so
broad:
But His eternal day knows no tomorrow.
And life and death are all the same
with God.

What "KaIsomines" Are.

"Kalsomines" are cheap temporary
preparations manufactured from
chalks, clays, whiting, etc., and are
stuck on the wall with decaying ami
NAL glue. They bear no comparison
with Alabastine, which is a cement
that goes through process of setting,
and hardens with age. Consumers, in
buying Alabastine, should see that the
goods are in packages and properly
labeled. Nothing else is Gust as
good" as Alabastine. The claims Of
new limitations are absurd on their
face. They cannot offer the test OF
time for durability.

doing hard service on the Mohawk divi-
sion between Albany and Syracuse
That it has come up to expectations
Is evident from the fact that within a
week five more locomotives of the same
kind have been ordered, as already
stated.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's invention, which Is
a new kind of locomotive furnace, or
t'fire-bOx," as engineers call it. produces
more steam from the same amount of
coal used, and at the same time it is
cheaper and strongeE than the ordinary
locomotive fire-bOx.
This new appliance differs from the
hre-bOX generally used on locomotives
in being round instead of square, and
having a corrugated or rough, krinkled
surface instead of being smooth.
Simple as this device is. it is wonder
fully efficient. It's chief merit is that
it gives a great surface for heating the
water above it. The curved shape and
corrugated form make the fire box
stronger and capable of resisting great
er steam pressure from the boiler.
Another feature about it that is con-
sidered great Improvement is that
it does away with a great many bolts
now used in holding the fre-bOX in pO-
SitiOn in the boiler. These bolts are
constantly breaking and requiring re-
pairs. In place of these the Vanderbilt
invention holds the fire box in position
by rods extending from the top of the
boiler and by being riveted to the rear
end of the boiler in the usual way
This fre-bOx is also supplied with the
understanding and forced draught
devices now in general use on the best
locomotives
Young Cornelius Vanderbilt, who has
so soon made a success in the mechani-
cal department of railrOading. is a

School of Yale university. Since his
graduation, four years ago, he has de-

mechanical engineering in the motive
