Big Strike Likely I'm France.

United States Consul Brunot, at St. Etienne, France, reports to the de partment of state that a strike by the coal miners, planned to be general and to include all the mines in France, is scheduled to take place about the end of June unless terms are agreed upon before that date, which seems improba- ble. He says.
 "Should the proposed strike actually take place there is likelihood that oth- CT trades will join the movement. Iror workers, furnace men and machinists are already considering whether this may not be the most opportune mo- ment for presenting their grievances, seeing that if the miners strike they also will be thrown out of employment by reason of the scarcity of fuel. The silk and velvet ribbon weavers are also discussing the propriety of striking at the same time, but no final decision has yet been reached"

It now looks as If the lawmakers
 of Connecticut are preparing to add
 another big tax eater to the already
 burdensome list. This fellow is to be
 called tax commissioner" and is to
 have a rowing commission all over
 the state to see how taxes are levied
 in the different towns and tell all about it to the lawmakers when they meet again. And this is to continue year after year, so long as some poor shelved political mendicant of the dom inant party can be found willing to take the job for $3,000 year and expenses. Of course, it is expected, as sort of side line, that a little partisan work will be thrown in gratis. In fact, this is expected of every commissioner, even he who is supposed to represent the cause of the laboring man. While a part of this $3,000 salary will come from the increased wages of the strik- ing trade-unionist the latter philoso- pher isn't striking against any such ar rangement at all. Somehow he never seems to be able to catch on to the re- lationship existing between his wage scale and that of the politician in office. And that he may never be able to do so the politician very wisely advises the trade-unionist to keep his asso- citation out of politics. And so far the advice of the politician has been faith fully followed.

MT. David B. Hill has announced that he is not presidential candidate. And it will be we'll for MT. Hill if he sticks to that resolution. While the rank and file of progressive Democracy may not hold the suspicion against him of especially representing the cause of plutocracy within the party as they ho of Grover Cleveland and his mill lionaire friends, still much of his con duct before and since the adoption of the Chicago platform hasn't been such as to inspire progressive Democrats with the confidence and love that a leader should have. His candidacy would have the effect of sending many voters over to the ranks of Socialism, where their votes would tell for prac- itically nothing, no matter how much Socialism itself may stand for.

tion of doing anything in revenge full spirit against the trusts by taking tariff duties off comodities such as are entirely within trust control in this country. This "revengeful spirit idea is pretty "foxey'' for the old man. It seems to cover the true inwardness of the situation. And that is, that Senator Hawley knows on which side his bread is best buttered, and he wish es to keep it so for the rest of his days, for he knows that the trust is now in the saddle and likely to so re- main while the Senator himself is per mitted to continue his adjournment on earth among us.

Marriage Is the Thing.

c. B. Myers, a Chicago delegate to the Metal Polishers and Brass Work ers' association in Milwaukee, an- nounced that the men employees of the Wolff Manufacturing company in Chicago are adopting new methods to prevent women working in the shops. The Wolff employees marry the wo- men. MT. Myers said:
 "Women have no business to do brass polishing. It is the most unhealthful business they could undertake, and we are going to get them something better to do. In the Wolff Manufacturing company we set about marrying them, and in the last year and half we have made about seven matches. We are not trying to freeze them out of work, but simply to get them something better"
 MT. Myers proposed to the convention MT. Myers proposed to the convention that instead of seeking to crowd wo- men out of the business the men em- ployed alongside of them either marry them or obtain for them good hus- bands In either event, he urged, wo- men would be relieved of the drudgery of metal polishing and its dangers, be- cause no man who understood the busi- ness would have his wife working at 1t.

The British Workman.

Much discussion has lately arisen as to the physique and condition of the British workingman. The pessimists tell us that he has begun to degenerate, that he Is being steadily outstripped by his brethren on the continent and in America, and, worst of all, that he shows tendency to forsake the beer and beef of old England and betake himself to the consumption of jam. There can be no doubt that the stand ard of comfort among the working classes of England was never any thing like so high as 1t is today. Mo- body who has visited such place, say, as Hampstead Heath on a holiday occasion, when it is almost wholly given over to the working people of the east end, can question this for moment. In the matter of dress the crowd is quite on the level where stood the middle classes of 20 or 80 years ago. Smart clothes are the rule among men and women alike, and, though it may be urged that at holiday times the people naturally put on their .sbest,"> one does not need to be very old to remember the day when their ''best" was not half so gorgeous nor half so costly as 1t is now. Tn the matter of living, too, conditions have improved enormously, and, in spite of the jam gibe, there can be no doubt that the dinner pail here is not only full, but, broadly speaking, of sound and honest quality and that the work CT with $7 to $9 weekly can do req sonably well, not only as regards the necessities, but also as regards some of the minor luxuries of life.-LondoD Letter

MT. Mckinley in his present gorgeous

MT. Mckinley in his present gorgeous junket through the country, while go- ing through Tennessee wanted, of course, to have something to say es- pecially complimentary of the state. So he told the Tenneseeans that the en- listments from their state in the new army, according to population, exceed any other state in the Union. Of course great applause greeted this re- mark, for people generally take pride in being distinguished for something, some of them for no matter what Yet, as the Public of Chicago signifi- cantly remarks: "As a rule men do not enlist in times of peace, if they can find anything else to do." This is true of men worthy the name, especially when the fighting is for the subjuga- tion of other men; but there are creat- ures in human shape to whom the rule does not apply And doubtless Tennessee has a goodly quota of the same kind. During the civil war times the poor people there were spoken of by the other kind as "the poor white trash''

Ingratitude Toward Lenders.

Reviewing the immediate past, few labor leaders can be pointed out who were not sooner or later turned down by the men in whose interest they had worked. Perhaps, after years of use- fulness and good work, some trivial mistake will be made and then every thing else is forgotten and the very leader who perfected the organization he may be at the head of is the first to suffer from it's power.
 Eugene V. Debs is an example of the truth of this statement. He endured everything for suffering workingmen, and yet the very people he sought to beneft-the Pullman Qlls.) workmen- were the first to condemn him for acts committed for their benefit.
 Poor dead Martin Irons may be cited as another example of the ingratitude of fellow workmen toward one who seeks to benefit and aid them. Irons was successful as a leader and organ izer, but he made a mistake and failed to win strike, after which his inf1u- ence began to simmer away, and at the time of his death Martin Irons was an outcast and was summed by the men he had worked the hardest for. r J
 Terence V. Powderly, who Is now: practicing law before United States court in Washington and who also holds the position of United States commissioner of immigration, succeed ed in spite of the hard fight made on him by union men all over the country. And yet the ideas and plans of Pow derly are evident in every labor union of the land.
 John Mcbride, James R. Sovereign and many others could be cited to prove that labor leaders seldom succeed in pleasing everybody all the time, and therefore are crucified by those they most benefit. Men of ideas and opin- ions, men who have the courage of their convictions and who refuse to be the pliant tools of corporation influence or the willing supporters of gang rule. are not appreciated by the union work ingmen of America as they should be, nor are they honored in a measure com mensurate with their worth.
 But workingmen are thinking and may be able to some day figure out the injustice of dragging down a man who dares to think and act along lines he believes to be correct.-Charles w. Fear in Omaha News.

Here is a bon mot of buncombe re- gently found in one of "our leading Connecticut Republican papers How timidly the trustifying process Is re ferred to- If J. F Morgan x Co. get all the railroads, all the manufacturing companies and all the steamboats, they will come nearer owning the earth than any of their predecessors, but we im- agine there will still be standing room left" Oh, yes, standing room, plenty of it, just as much as there ever was; but it will be standing room only for a lot of slaves-"base, ignoble slaves ,' with perhaps a few of the crawling, cringing kind of mortals thrown in, such as now write editorials of the pattern here given. It wouldn't do to drive the people off the earth, for there would be no one then on whom J P. Morgan & Go. could subsist without the labor of their own hands.

A NEW. CONCEPTION.
The Labor Movement as 1t Used to Be
 and as It Is Now.

The Labor Movement as 1t Used to Be
 and as It Is Now.
 If report be true of what comes to us from MT. George H. Warner of the h. ternational Association of Machinists in his address before the Hartford mass meeting of machinists, the cause of organized labor must now be resting upon a very different basis from that usually considered as it's resting ground in the past-in fact, on basis diamet- rically opposite to the general concep- tion of its old time friends and advo- cates.
 The labor movement used to be con- sidered a movement in the interest of humanity in general, based on the eter- nal principles of right and justice be tween man and man. But according to the pronouncement of Mir. Warner the ethics of the hog trough must now be considered as the guiding star of it's destiny. Here are his words, in sub stance, if correctly reported: ''The trusts are all right. Every machinist present would have a trust himself if he had the ability. The machinists pro- pose to have a little trust of their own"
 So the great labor movement-if this be correct delineation-has abandon ed its high plane of moral philosophy in seeking for that of which 1t claimed to be wrongfully denied and degenef- ates to the logic of might makes rigk2. ''The trust is all right because it com pines to get all 1t can for as little as it may give in return, regardless of how the resolve may affect the body and soul of others. And the machinists must combine to do the same, of course. Yet the old time industrial reformer all ways labored under the impression that the trade union came into existence de- signed more as a force to resist un- righteous aggression and oppression than to become like competing force itself.
 However, as a practical man in the movement and sent out as an official instructor of others, Mir. Warner ought to know more of the subject than the mere theorist, and, knowing so, doubt less reasons from the basis of things as he finds them rather than from any conception of what they might have been or ought to be. And certainly the conduct of the great majority of the organized as well as the unorganized laborers of the country seem to bear out the correctness of MT. Warmers view of the case from the well known fact of those laborers never being found in sympathetic cooperation with broad minded men and women work ing for the advancement of humanity in general nor even manifesting the least interest in the outcome of their efforts.-Hartford Examiner.

Recent Evidence That France Hma
 Learned Her Lesson.

Recent Evidence That France Haa
 Learned Her. Lesson.
 The employees on the Paris under ground railroad had a strike and have settled their strike.
 The terms of the settlement amaze the outside world. Those terms are especially amazing to the American and well they may be.
 The employees of the underground railroad in Paris are government eu1- ployees.
 Their strike inconvenienced the pub lie, and even the radical French people were annoyed with the strikers.
 In other European countries and in this country, as the news reports very truly say, the strike of those govern nient employees would have been dealt with very summarily. Three engines of civilization would have been brought into play effectively.
 First, the police; second, the cavalry. and third, Calling guns.
 But the police, the cavalry and Cat ling guns were tried on the French people long ago, and that little matter was fought out and settled. The men who govern France know that at certain stage in the proceedings cours ageous people will not stand Gatling guns, cavalry or police They have found out In France that the way to deal with striking workmen is just the way the government official would like to be dealt with himself if he were a striking workman instead of a well paid public officer,
 The striking men complained that their days work was too long and their pay too small. The pay was increased and the day was shortened, which was perfectly right.
 Each employee is now allowed one day off in seven and ten days vacation every year with full pay, which is per- fectly right.
 The young men employed on the road are compelled to do 20 days work in the army each year. Their wages are paid while they are doing this compul sorry military work, which is perfectly right.
 If man is i'll, he gets his pay as long as he is i'll up to 365 days, and the com pany in whose service he has become i'll pays his doctors bill, his drug store Diu duO any CAlId SAPcuScS iAtoAtcu- which is perfectly just and fair.
 No striker is to be dismissed because of having taken part In the strike. A benefit fund is provided for the em- ployees of this government enterprise and the company pays the membership subscription to the benefit fund with : no deduction from the workmen's pay.
 The above seems horrible narrative to the energetic American exploiter of labor.
 It would have seemed very stupid-in fact, quite incomprehensible-t the French government at any time before the revolution.
 But the revolution taught France and some other people that nation, like any other structure. Is insecure when its foundation is agitated. The foundn' ton of nation is the enormous mass of working people, and that foundation the French have learned to respect and treat well.
 We shall learn as much here some day. Let us hope we shall learn fl more peaceably than the French did New York Journal.

NOT PLANNING FOR ANOTH-
 FER NOMINATION.

Anent the varied references of those
 papers opposed to the political prin- ciples of William J. Bryan, as planning for another nomination, he says that he isn't doing anything of the kind; if he were he Woaldn t De editing ae1ys,- paper Should he become candidate again it will be because it seems neces- sary for the advancement of the prin- ciples in which he firmly believes as essential to better conditions for the comomn people. but that "that does not now seem probable" This, doubtless,
 is slight intimation of the fact that
 MT. Bryan wouldn't refuse a call to leadership of the real democratic ele- ments of the country should the mani pulators of spurious Democracy suc-
 ceed in securing control of the Demo- cratic machinery and name the na- tional candidates of the party. For to him and all others of the party who think as he does, this would then be Democratic party with very little de- mocracy in it, not enough even to hold the balance square against the weight of plutocracy on the other side. Of course,' this would indicate a willing ness on the part of MT. Bryan to sac riice himself personally for the prin- ciples he believes in, for with the Democratic party, as we know it now, divided into opposing camps, the Re- publican party would again be success full without an effort.
 However, we must credit MT. Bryan with the sagacity of realizing the mis- take of giving any encouragement to his candidacy for the third consecutive time. As nothing succeeds like suc- fails like failure. The humpug argu- ments and accusations that have done SNSA OhCSI1FO SOIF1CO lOT CuG party or plutocracy in the past would be made to do like service again in the future. The people learn slowly, if they learn at all, and the means of education lie in the wrong direction. And those who don't know are amenable to any, thing taught from any direction. To them black can be made to appear white or white black as best serves the purpose of the instructor. So if MT Bryan has any lingering trace of am- bition left to yet become president of this great nation, he had better "bide awee" and allow some one else to open the way for him later on by leading the party to success, if success be at all possible of achievement.
 And the name now standing high above all other names on the list seems to be that of Tom L. Johnson of Ohio. This man along with his good qualities

The machini.t. and the shorter Day.

In the United States and Canada there are about 800 unions of machin- ists, having a total membership of about 10000. More than half this number have secured from their em- ployers the nine hour day, and the oth- CT half will quit work if the demand is not met by May 20. Back of every union is the International Association of Macninists, and back of this is the American Federation of Labor, with which they are all affiliated. 1t is said that the employers are inclined to grant the nine hour demand, and it Is not believed that the men will ask for any radical change in the wage sched- uIa
