Malay Cheap Labor Competition

Former Grand Master Workman
Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor,
now manager of the peoples party
department of labor at the national
headq quarters in Lincoln, Neb., and
who recently spoke on the occasion OF
the tri-city Labor day celebration in
Moline, warns the workingmen of this
country that the reelection of Mr..
Mckinley and the consequent per-
nanent holding of the Philippines
will place American labor in competi-
ton with FIlipinos who work for 10
cents day.
Mr.. Sovereign IS led to this view by
the lectures delivered by Prof. Dean
C.. Worcester, of the Philippine
mission. just before that official
departed for the Philippine islands.
Worcester boosted that the Industries
of the Philippines would be placed
under the ownership and control OF
American corporate capital, that the
markets of america would then be
open to Philippine products, that
as many Filipinos as were needed
could be employed on the 10 cents per
day basis of wages. 1t struck Mr..
Sovereign that this is not a pleasant
outlook for the American workingmen.
1t would seem that the American
workingman should be similarly i'm
pressed. The advantage of labor at
10 cents per day will be great TO GER
tain trusts. They can undersell the
world when they possess such an ad-
vantage. They can use this advan-
tage with tremendous effect in break
ing down the scale of labor in this
country. Ii is not strange that the
trusts should be heart aud soul in fa-
vor of holding the Philippines. But
what about the American working
man? Won't the holding of the Phil
ippines be pretty rough on him?

tract surgeon at 81, 800 a year to take
care of about IL men.
Objection is not now, nor has it ever
been raised to giving to American sol
diers wherever they may be, fer they
are not the chosers OF where they
will be assigned. the best medical
and surgical attendance it is possible
to give them. But the people of the
repu bic DO object. and they have q
right to object to wanton extraVa-
gance on the part of the administra-
ton and the creation of soft snaps for
favored surgeons beyond the ordinary
necessities of such an army as is nee
essary for the maintenance of the re-
public, just as they protest against
the conditions that have been forced
upon the people to make excuse for
the ending of The soldiers thousands
of miles across the seas. thereby Great
ing the occasion for enormous ex-
penditures for their care.

The Albany Argus propounds these

The Albany Argus propounds these
questions: How many of the average
people-not the trust magnates or the
protected barons, but the average
men-are more prosperous today than
they were in 1896? Are wages enough
higher to meet the advancing cost of
living? Not merely comforts, but
the necessities of life are being more
and more controlled by the trusts. Is
the wage Garner and the man on fixed
salaries getting hundred-cent dollar
or are the eNactions of the trusts
clipping it and cutting it down to half
its former purchasing power?

tricated herself and managed to hobble
around and climb the steep embank-
ment. where she found a man and or
dered him to flag No. 1, 4 fast passen-
ger train. which was due in a few
minutes. She could do no more, how
ever. the effort of climbing the en-
bankment in her exhausted condition
being too muck for her, and she asked
to be taken to her home in New Point,
a mile away. Tender hands lifted her
to the cab of an engine and in few
minutes she was being rapidly taken
where medical assistance could be rem
dered. She became unconscious i'm
mediately after being placed on the
engine.
Miss Wise does not seem to think
much of her deed and modestly refuses
to be considered n heroine. but never
theless it was only her great desire to
save the passenger train that enabled
her TO retain consciousness and climb
TO the top of the embankment and or
der the fagman TO signal the train.

1t costs the United States govern

TO keep surgeons and other medical

Gently statement that the sickness
in the Philippine army was slightly

total sick of 5000. This, it is al

If this statement of mum bers, which
the war department says was cabled
by Macarthur, was true, then the
United States government spends
1920, 900 for the care of 5000 sick
men, or $l44 per man, exclusive of
the cost of medicines, nurses and hos

Another astonishing fact is that it

The attendance increasing so rapid

great benefits the ladies derive from
such a practical education as this
school furnishes at a very nominal
expense. We believe if those who are
interested in the ''art of dress will
call at the school rooms and investi-
gate the system of instruction they
will all appreciate the great advan-
tages such a school is to our city.
The manager, C. B. Ward. reques is
US to urge upon all the ladies to call
at the rooms aud see the work being
done by the pupils. Certainly such an
education is of great value to anyone.
and while we believe in a theoretical
education, we would urge upon all not
to neglect the practical, which all
must have in order to succeed.
