Strike I1 On.

After a battle extending through
many, weeks the freight handlers of
Ludington have been victorious. It
was one of the hottest contested labor
battles ever fought in the state of
Michigan and fought with the deter
mination such as has never been dem
onstrated by the wage workers Of that
state and at last has ended in victory
for the men,. The settlement was
brought about through the State Court
Of Arbitration. It not only resulted
in an increase of wages of three and
four cents an hour OH the general
work but wiped out the. disastrous
contract system that was robbing the
men of their earnings and fattening
a few leeches at the: expense of the
very lives Of the workers and those
dependent upon them. The mems side
was looked after by President L. w.
Rogers, of the Michigan Federation
of Labor, one of the old A. r. U. lead
ers and H. C. Barter, national secre-
tary of the Longshoremen's union.
Judge Robbins, a member of the arbi-
tration court, said to a representative
of the Saginaw exponent" cit is the
greatest victory for the wage earners
that has come to my knowledge since
my connection with the Court of Arbi-
tration. Great credit is due NIessrs.
Rogers and Barter for it was through
their untiring efforts that the mems
cause was thoroughly presented to the
Board of Arbitration which influenced
the decision.''

.Chas. NJ. Robinson of the firm of
Bardweil & Robinson, Minneapolis,
has been around the State of Mime
sofa and reports general activity in all
lines of business. He is quoted as
saying that the pay of common labor
ers will go up to So a day during the
coming spring. and summer. The
prospects in the building line are
brighter. than for many years and there
is evidently going to be an enormous
amount of work this year. La bor will
*be scarce and as a result demand high
er wages. When it is considered that
Mr.. Robinson. is a large employer OF
labor and one of the owners of the
largest factory in Minneapolis, and
who has succeeded in getting common
labor for as Iowa dollar day, his
statement will carry considerable
weight. We sincerely trust that time
will verify Mr.. Robinson's prediction
and that the good time he anticipates
will come this spring.

"There was some talk Of Aguinaldo re-

do so. The opinion is that it was not
Aguinaldo who precipitated this thing, but
his followers whom he could not control"
The press reports made no mention at
the time of Aguinaldo's appeal to Dewey
to stop the firing. Mr.. Croker left
Manila while the, fighting was still in pro-
gress and his estimates of the casualties
are very wild. He says there were: from

Will Turn Out Labor Lenders

AA~O. ~ ~>~~-
~ being established at Oxford.
Ruskin Hall is the name of the new
institution. The founders are two
Americans, Walter L. Vrooman and
Chas. H. Beard. They will be assisted
by number of ladies, among whom
will be Mrs. Keddie, who writes under
the nom de plume of Sarah Tytler.
Mr.. Vrooman realizes that IN England
the labor leader is becoming also a
legislator; that he is taking his place
in the city council, in the county coun-
Gil and in parliament, and his desire
is to give the education that will make
them better able to legislate for those
they will represent. The new school
will have no age limit, and the doors
will be open to men and women alike.
It's field will be the world. The cost of
a years residence at Rusl1in Hall will
be $125. This covers boarding, lodg-
ing and laundry. 1he total cost of
tuition and tutors fees Is $50 year.
An anonymous friend of the founders
has given them one hundred scholar
ships of $50 each, covering tuition and
lecture fees, to be presented to young
men who give satisfactory evidence
of their competence and worthiness
to be entered in the school. There
will be. no domestics employed in the
institution. Students who are willing
to work four hours day will be
boarded and lodged free.

ceSsful rivalry, hundreds OF thousands
of men, crowded out of business, will
advocate universal cooperation in Or
der that they may themselves partici-
pate in the benefits. This universal
assistance of each other can only come
through government ownership, gov
ernment they will endorse, this they
will advocate. Not at first-but later,
when, general idleness and starvation
have driven them to the wall they will
advocate the passing of all the public
utilities and ultimately all the indus
tries into the management of the gov
ernment because they will be a part
of tile government.
They will kick some at first. They
will prate about Socialism,, and divid-
ing up with lazy men. They will har-
angue about the bright. and active
man putting himself on level with
the indolent and ignorant. They will
ask thousands of times if that is right.
But finding that the procession is
moving by them, that their vigorous
determination to have smart men es-
pecially rewarded above others, is not
needed, that the trend of events is to
level all the lower classes up to the
higher, that if they would get support
for themselves they must at once turn
in and get place wherever they can.
They will tt |lrn in to help without so
much thought of compensation. When
the fact dawns on them that all must
come to. near the same level, they will
be ready for universal cooperation.
We are almost there, and the trusts
and combines being formed, are the
rapidly developing cause which will
bring the crises and the whole more
rapidly together for the benefit of the
whole.
Never before in the history of the
world has cooperation been gaining
so rapidlyas within the past six years.
In that time the Incorporation of COM
panies has been going forward in all
the states. Fraternal insurance or
ganizations have prospered and grown
in membership as never before. Labor
unions have had remarkable growth
during this period. Conventions Of
men in, various Industries men for
merly bitter rivals of each other, are
being held in all parts Of the country, i
with view to- mutual assistance, the
whole tending to universal co-opera-.
ton. 5&t III
We accept the trust, therefore, as
the advance guard of a rapidly ap-
preaching era in which all shall have
a chance for employment, and all shall
participate in the advantages that
should be the privilege of every hu-t
man being who strives to do well.
