On the other hand. we shall at all

should take it upon himself to run both
the union and the. factory. The union
should never uphold a member who

by. the. union. to do 50, or one who
uses disrespectful or. abusive language
to the employer or foreman. The place
to transact the business Is at the

Want to Work From Five O'Clock A.
VI. to Seven O'Clock p. M
One of the most remarkable strikes
on record was that Of the non-union
cigarmakers Of Tampa, Fla, who
struck to compel the employer to open
the factory at five o'clock in the morn
ing and keep it open until seven o'clock
in the evening", says the Cigarmakers'
Journal. These people consider them
selves advanced thinkers and hold that
the closing Of the factory at reasonable
hours is an infringement on their per-
sonal liberty and freedom of action.
They claim that they do not want to
work thirteen or fourteen hours a day,
but that they shall be allowed to work
as much or as little as they please dur
Eing the foregoing stated hours. They,

But because it is q barbarous weapon

Given condition where one man en-
ployes five hundred men and arrogant !
ly assumes that he Zone MANI has all

Such an employer is himself a bar

the influences of civilization, he is a
barbarian and can find no fault: If he

Under these circumstances strikes
are usually justifiable, though not al

A losing strike can sometimes be
justified because. Of the amout of ruin
or loss caused the employer, which in
some cases tends to prevent other en-
ployers committing the same depreda-

speaking, losing strike is poor in
lvestment. Given a situation where the

VICTIMS TRUSTS
THE COAL MINERS ARE FLEECED
COMING AND GOING,
A Correspondent Tells Of the Effect
of Trust Prices ON thee Miners
Miners Are Obliged to Send Their
Children to Work ut the Break
May Have Bread.

The cry of agony that goes up from
the great anthracite coalfields is cry
Wrung from the white lips of a ruined
people againt the heartless trusts.
While the miners are engaged in
a struggle that will fill the ceme-
teres of Pennsylvania and bring sor-
row and privation to half a million
persons the newspapers owned or con-
trOlled by the mine owners are SANDER
ing the men and their leaders and
treating their grievances with scorn.
1 have been going from mine to mine
in the company of Homer Davenport,
The Journals distinguished cartoonist,
in an honest effort to give the actual
facts to the whole country.
We have eaten in the cabins of the
miners and have in every case gone to
original sources for information. The
miners themselves and their wives and
children are the best witnesses. Moth
in l have to say is based upon the
statements or arguments of labor agi-
tatOrS.
But the one mighty fact that stands
forth in this scene of confusion and
penury is the appalling changes which
the trusts have worked in the condition
of the mining population within two
years. The strike is simply an indus
trial hemorrhage. 1t is a local symp-
tom of a disease that is attacking the
whole body.
l find as an established fact, which
may be investigated and verified in an
afternoon by any citizen who cares
enough for his country to take the trou
BILE, that the trusts have so increased
the cost of living that the miners of the
great anthracite coal region have been
forced to give their wives and children
less to eat and less to wear in order to
make their wages cover their expenses.
The coal trust keeps the miners
wages down, while all the other trusts
keep forcing the cost Of living up. The
result of this scientific squeezing is
dreadful to contemplate.
The coal railroad stock and bond
holders and the mine owners are max
ing greater profits than ever. 20, But the
mining population is sinking into q
scondi di ton Of hopeless semistarvation.

Will the trusts be permitted to use

The strike Of. 130,eQo coal miners in
the anthracite region Of Pennsylvania
makes these questions, pertinent.
Labor all over the country Is vitality
interested in the causes which led to
this strike and its outcome. ..-. *.s---
It comes at the time which has been
heralded as one Of great prosperity, yet
the country is shocked to discover that
the coal combine has been giving it's
men a 80 cent day and about 1S0 days
work a>year.
When the miners conclude that they
might as we'll starve idle as working,
the coal combine gives notice to the
country that it will not recognize q la
Dor union and it will submit the differ
ences to arbitration.
It can and will and does, however,
sell the thousands Of tons Of coal stored
up in anticipation of this strike at an
advance of 81 per ton.
The strike is a profitable venture for
the coal trust. It economies on its
payroll while the men are idle. 1t pro-
poses to starve the miners into accept

they have struck.
That no element of force may be
wanting on the part of the operators,
Gov. Stone of Pennsylvania, has put
the militia of the state at the disposal
of the employers to ever awe the men.
Homestead seems to have been for
gotten and the operators are again uti-
lizing Pinkertons os sheriffs' deputies.

An objection may be urged, to the eff

would be thus brought in and delivered

The Sultan or Sulu, who by treaty and al
lance with the president is protected in

MAYOR r LUCK.

Philadelphia Post: Mayor Thomas N
Hart of Boston, conducted his own cam
paign in a mastery manner. The 'situa-
ton was peculiarly delicate. Normally,
Boston is Democratic. but at the Decem-
Der elections there was a boiling wing OF
the democracy that threatened at the
first syn OF a. mistake or utterance of an
unwise sentiment, to return it's allegiance
to the democratic candidate. Mr.. Hart
therefore planned for a short campaign
with few speeches. There were no mis-
takes. and the boiling democracy elected
Mr.. Hart.
When it was "all over but the shout
ing" MI. Hart, In conversation with one
OF the republican leaders, said:
This campaign reminds me OF the old
southern darkey who was brought before
the cou for stealing chickens"
!. In what way?' some one asked.
Why, h Judge asked the old man,
looking at him sharply and speaking in

WOULD NOT VOTE FOR HIMSELF

Washington Star: "A man of the real
courage, that is courage as courage goes
in politics." said a man of experience in
political matters, lis Solomon Hirsch of
Portland, Ore, and minister to Turkey
under President Harrison. He is a mil
lionaire, thereby being eligible to the
United States senate, and was a sena-
torial candidate before the Oregon legis-
lature in 1886. Matters We're badly mixed,
as they are likely to be at times, and
there was a deadlock for sixty days.
Hirsch was a member of the state SEN
ate and president of the body, and the
vote was a tie between himself and his
opponent during the whole time. And
mere Is where the courage, or heroism, Of
the man came in. He had cast his vote
Tor the other man and would not change

gunlent in their power to vote for him.
self. break the deadlock and get the SEN
atorship, but he did not believe it was the
right thing to do. and Notwithstanding
the great prize and the perfectly legiti-
mate manner by which he might have
secured it, he let a principle lead him
in another direction. and n a compromise
threw his forces to John H. Mitchell, who
elected. I don know of an instance
where greater moral courage in politics
ever shown than that, and I think
it was more of a credit to Mr.. Hirsch
than to have BEEN a United States sem
atOr."
