PAST and PRESENT

as those running on parallel lines, but
this the company refused to accede to,
and when the men struck the whole
system was patroled by Pinkerton men
and the militia. 1t was pitiful sight
to see this army Of working men give
up their positions in the struggle for
equitable treatment and be forced to
seek employment elsewhere. They dare
not go near the road and talk to those
who had taken their places for fear Of
being shot by those who were on the
payroll of the state to protect its citi-
zens. This lasted for about a year, and
| the reason why the engineers were not
successful was that capital can always
recruit an army from the ranks of
Ia Dor to fight organized labor which is
strugglig to place labor where it just
| ly belongs.
Following this was the A. r. u.
strike of 1894. This strike involved
most of the trunk lines of the United
States, but the battle was pitched in
Chicago. 1t was. without doubt, one
OF the fiercest battles ever waged be-
tween labor and capital. Shortly after
the strike was declared some parties
began to set fire to the cars. The militia
vas called out; the men became rest
less at the sight of the militia; singing
epithets were hurled back and forth,
and finally there was a clash between
the soldiers and the railroad men. Now,
all this was caused by the burning OF
cars, which was placed at the door of
| railroad men, but a couple of years
later, when a company was sued by
one of it's employees, it was proved in
court that the company employed men
to set fire to- these cars so they could
| have an excuse for calling out the
soldiers and get the sympathy of the
American people.

THE TWO CLASSES.
The True linton Men and Members
of u Union.

The True linton Men and Members
of Il Union.
In nearly all trade organizations
there are two distinct classes that go
to make up the aggregate membership
of the uniOn-union men and members
of a union.
The first class, we feel confident, pre-
dominate ties in a large majority Of our
labor organizations, but there are also
a number, less fortunate, where the
last named class seems to be in an
overwhelming majority. A union man
will always remain true to his obliga-
ton, treat every other union man as
a brother, pay his dues, and assess
ments promptly, attend the meetings
of his union regularly and help the Of
ticers to guide the destinies of the or
ganiZation on to success. =. :
The other fellow-the member who
took the pledge, not because he was
prompted to do so by his faith in union
principles, but because he found it ex-
pedient to comply with the formal
rules of the organization as a matter of
necessity-he is the man who is always
watching his opportunity to violate
his obligation to the union. He attends
the meetings of the union perhaps once
in three months, and when he does he
usually has 1T i'm for somebody. 1t
may be one Of the officers, who ''runs
the union,' that is to he hammered"
and annihilated, or the object of his
spiteful revenge may be some true UNI
ion man with whom he is bound to
"get even.''
At no time do these classes appear
so distince as during the times when
united labor is in trouble. When: the
hand of corporate greed strikes a: blow
at a. sister union, and the royal; and
true members are barred by bolted
doors and forced into the streets, be-
cause they refuse to sell their birth
their backs in a life Of ceaseless druid
gerry and toll then do the two classes
the true union man and the one who
is but a member-come out in their
true nature. The first one, imbued by
the grand spirit of unionism, will hast
en- to the relief Of his brother crafts.
man in trouble, fairly before the call
has been heard, while the last one com
fortably' crawls into his silurian shell
of selfishness and waits until the VIC
tory is won. Then he suddenly pops
up again, either to share it or find
fault with those who were instrumental
in winning it.
There is a struggle in this city at the
present time for the eight-hour day by
the organized millmen. This battle TO,
justice is not for the millmen alone
but every workingman on the coast is
directly or indirectly affected by its
ultimate victory or defeat, and the me.

man, will do his full duty by the lock.

neglect sacred duty will find plenty Of

THE AMERICAN FEEDER
Growth and Present Strength Of
Great Labor Organization.

AS we close the nineteenth century it
is interesting to not the history and
status of the organization of working
men which has best stood the test OF
modern industrial methods. 1t has been
wisely though perhaps indignantly said
that Labor organizing is no picnic in
this country" and the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor has had it's share of
the hard knocks. 1t is, however, stron-
ger today than ever before, and those
who are in a position to know say it has
Il bright future. The following table
shows the progress of the Federation
since its first session at Pittsburg in
1881. when 10 unions were represented.
The first column gives the number of
national trades unions, the second the
local trade unions, third city central
unions and the fourth state branches.

WRECkING THE UNION.
Something About Those Who Work
the Mischief and the Result.

There are several ways to injure a.
labor organization, and perhaps the
most harm is done by members.
There is no man who is more inter-
ested in currying favor with some po-
litician or other boss than he is in the
advancement of the union He keeps
his master informed of all that is go
ing on, and they both do all they can,
on the street and in the meeting, to
cast odium upon union officials and
union men, in order to defeat the aims
Of the workingman and discredit the
organization. He is despicable hyp-
ocrite.
There is the man who is always en-
deavoring to trick the union into some
action which will be to his own or his
partys temporary advantage. He is
always using sly methods and circulate
ing dirty insinuations about better
men than himself, and is the embodi-
~ment of jealousy and egotism.
There is the man who is looking for
place to economic expenses, and in
nocent of the harm that may result
he will even propose to withdraw
from utilization with all other labor
bodies, in order that he may cut down
his monthly dues and save himself a
few cents per capita tax. Although he
may be enjoying regular salary and
perhaps have other sources of income,
he is not able to contribute a cent to
the support of an institution which
keeps up his wages, shOrtens his hours
of labor. and enables him to retain his
situation, and takes no interest in the
labor paper which is fighting hiss bat
ties. Sometimes he honestly imagines
that his little union is able to stand
alone and win out without the assist
arse OF others. That is where he lacks
education and information, and acting
upon his own knowledge he is more
than likely to do untold mischief. If
he can induce others to accept of
his ideas.
Then there are others who will do
nothing. Part. of the time they attend
the meetings, but when they do they
have nothing to say but perhaps to
second some harmful proposition in
order to get it out of the way so that
the union may adjourn without doing
any good, and they may use this as an
excuse for not attending regularly.
!. The remedy for the evils which
these people perpetrate is for the un.
Informed member to attend all the
meetings of his union and insist on
a full discussion Of every proposition
which comes up, and not allow the
