WILL LABOR SEE IT?

The Republican members of the house
committee on judiciary have stirred up
bitter feeling in the ranks of labor lead
ers over their refusal to incorporate in
trust law, which extends it's scope and
increases the punishment for the viola
ton, a provision that nothing in the act
should be so construed as to apply to
trades unions or other labor organiza-
tions organized for the purpose of regu-
lating wages, hours of labor or other
conditions under which labor is to be
performed. The Democratic minority
report on the amendment of the COM
mittee contains this proposition. Pres
ident Gompers, of the American Feder-
alton of Labor, declares that the
Sherman law, which was aimed at the
trusts, not only failed to accomplish it's
end, but that it was used to the det-
riment of organized labor. There is not
one instance, he said, where trust mag
mates have been brought to punishment,
but there are several instances on rec
ord where labor leaders have been Sc
verely dealt with under the interpreta-
tion of the law. The matter is Just
and it is only because laboring men re-
fuse to use their best judgment instead
of their bigoted notions that matters
have not been set right before. The
country is drifting to serfdom as sure
as fate, but unless little more inde-
pendence than has been manifested
les will be fastened forever. What law
of any sort has been permitted to be
passed under this administration that
has been for the benefit Of the laborer?
Name one. Where has labor benefited
by the rise in price Of the necessities
without the concomitant advance in wa
ges? If the great rank and file Of this
nation will only have sense enough to
see what is in store the trusts will be
overcome and liberty and equality will
again have palce in the nations pol
icy. A few seem bound to govern the
many, and so long as fellows work their
lungs instead of their brains about
election time and allow a lot of talk
about the flag that belongs to one as
much as another to influence him
against his own salvation, there will be
no hope for the masses and the aggra-
dlzement of wealth will continue.

all we had suggested was that Youngs-

to keep up the pace with other cities.
If limits have not been abolished the

The school enumerator at Alliance
not only enumerated all the school
children, but, probably having good
bet in mind, took occasion to take the
census as he went along. OF course he
does not claim that he was as accurate
as the census man is expected to be,
but he thinks he has pretty good idea
of the population of Alliance. Now the
school enumeration of the city Of ALI
ance is 2,299 for the six wards in the
city. At the rate of for /, which is
usually accepted as being about the
proper ratio, Alliance would have a
population of 11,495. At the rate of Az
for !, as some insist upon, the popula-
tion of the east end city would beS10,-
345. But the school enumerator, who
took little side census Of his own,
declares that he finds the census of the
city to be as follows:

lurid distinction Of our American So
ciety when he makes three classes
the big thieves, and the little thieves
and the serfs. And then he makes a
further designation of the serfs into
preferred slaves and abject slaves.
Furthermore we are somewhat Mortified
when he asserts that the big thieves are
now in possession of the government
and congress has legalized the rob-
berries they have inaugurated, both in
Cuba and Porto Rico. We suspect that
the abject slaves are the overworked,
badly mortgaged farmers, who vote the
Republican ticket because they have
never stopped long enough in their toll
to think. They work from sunrise to
dark, from the cradle to the grave, to
create wealth, which Is taken from
them systematically and continually by
unjust laws that they have voted for
systematically and continuously.

The statement is utterly false and absurd.
while the thress meant to be conveyed in
the closing paragraph is puerile. First
on, no such rule As INSTRUCTED above was
made by the Census Department. No
appointments Of enumerators have heen
made in this or any other Census District

ship-TwO Men Injured.
a boiler explosion at the mill Of Daniel
Bros. in Quemahoning township. about
80 O'Clock, Tuesday afternoon a week
ago. literally tore the mill 10 pieces and
injured two men, ten others and some
teams having almost miraculous escapes.
The mill wGs located on the land Of
Joseph Smncker, the boiler being at the
west end of the mill. When the boiler
let go the fireplace was torn from the other
part Of the steam producer and hurled
westward, while the larger part Of the
boiler was driven in the opposite direc-
ton right through the mill, tearing ev-
ery;hing in its way into fragments. The
truck, carriage. saw, belt. and in fact eS-
erything but an AK and few cant hooks
the men had left on the log yard. were to-
tally wrecked. The boiler came down on
pile Of sawdust about rod from the
eastern end Of the mill. having travelled
the entire length Of the mill and several
feet besides.
The men and teams were on the south
side Of the mill a; the time. but none were
hurt except David Bsrkey, who was cut
on the forehead, and George MOstoller,
who was painfully scalded. The men
were all thrown TO the ground by the
force of the explosion and bruised and
shocked more or less. bat they received
no injuries worth mentioning. except
ferkey aud Mostoller. The former was
driven to Jenners, where his wounds
were dresse J.
The explosion was heard for miles and
in a short time crowd had gathered at
the scene. The foundation where the
boiler stood was swept away so clean
that one could scarcely tell it had ever
existed, while on every hand were evil
dences Of the destruction wrought by the
explosion
A piece of the boiler weighing about a
hundred pounds was hurled a distance Of
nearly five hundred yards. Mostoller's
hat was knocked to the other side of the
mill. and " hen found had the crown sew
cred from the brim. It's owner says he
does not know how it happened, or how
the hat got where It was.
The miraculous escape Of the men and
teams may be partly accounted for by the
fact that they were all outside rolling logs
on the skids. The loss will be several
thousand dollars. as nothing was leff
worth using again.
