WHY A BOOK-KEEPER
MARRIED
BY Wilson Thayer Stanley.

THE interesting discussion carried
to "Why book-keepers do not marry
has awakened in me a desire to relate
to you why did not marry as a
book-keeper, and if you find it worth
publishing, go ahead.
! had passed the flower of my
youth in the employ of large manu-
facturing concern and had worked my
way to the position of book-keeper,
when the trade combinations, or
''trusts," began to be formed all over
the country. For four years I was
/ kept on the anxious seat, and then
at the age OF 2s found myself the
recipient of letter from the firm ad-
vising me that as the factory had
been disposed of to the trust, there
would be no necessity of commanding
my services after the 18th, and that
with regrets, good wishes, etc, they
remained sincerely mine.

to change the place of the struggle
and to give the dog the advantage of

So, dropping the cane, took from my

penknife and opened its two-inch blade.

SUPPORT FOR STEEL STRIKERS
Official Organ Of the Federation OF

Washington, Aug. 31.-The American
Federationist. which is the official organ
of the Federation Of Labor. and is edited
by Samuel Gompers, says:
I'VE shall stand by the Amalgamated
association in the present conflict to the
full extent of our power. both morally
and financially.
I'VE shall aid in every lawful way the
men on strike. or who may come out
on strike. to maintain the workers in
their right to organize and to extend
their organization: go that the only pow
err which stands for their protection and
advancement against the avarice of con-
centrated wealth may be perfected and

I'VE shall not relax our efforts to aid
the brave men who are striking to bring
this contest to an end. and we appeal
to every fellow wage worker and every
sympathizer to exert every nower and
influence in the same direction"

will. so long will Labor day in this city
and state be an occasion of rejoicing and
congratulation. But labor. like capital.
has its dangers and makes its mistakes.
At present the chief menace to labor's
prosperity is the baneful influence OF
men who seek to spread discomfort
among workingmen, who tell them their
political and personal rights are In con-
slant danger and who strive to make
them believe that work is dishonorable
and slavish and the result OF what is
called "capitalistic oppression" such
men are labor's worst enemies. There
are few sinecures in this world. Every
man has his appointed work to do. Inc
man who swings pick earns all he gets,
but the man who starts the enterprises
and raises the capital and provides the
wages, who builds up the market and
takes all the chances-he. too. has
rights: he, too, earns all he gets and
sometimes more. The man who works
eight hours. sure Of his pay. and enjoys
his leisure time undisturbed by thoughts
of business trouble, is much better of
than the so-called "oppressor," who
works 16 hours, and is under constant
strain. mental and physical, as to the
ways and means to keep his enterprise
on it's feet, to meet its payroll and earn
it's profit. This fact is generally recog-
nized in Butte. and for that reason the
relations of capital and labor are pleas
ito
even the worst efforts Of the evil minded
to create distrust and dissension between
man and man.

AFFAIRS At JEROME.

In order to set at rest the many false
miners at jerome, Arizona, in the en-
ployment Of Hon. w. A. Clark, that gen
tleman found 1t necessary to write the
following letter to the New York Sun,
which seems to have been one Of the
papers imposed upon by irresponsible In
formants: a
To the Editor of The Sun-Sir: The
miners in the United Verde mine did not
strike. nor did they quit work. The
smelter men, machinists, mechanics and
other surface men did strike on Satur-
day. the Sd instant, all Of them demand
ing eight hours and the same wages they
had been receiving for ten hours, which
I declined to concede. Almost year
ago voluntarily gave all underground
men in the mines and all men in the
smelling plant who worked in hot places
or were exposed to noxious vapors eight
hours. and did not decrease their pay.
This was not followed by single mining
or smelling company in Arizona, and as
a rule the scale Of wages paid by the
other companies in Arizona is less than
that established by me at Jerome.
The strike was not authorized by the
union. AS considered their action un-
warranted and the result Of agitation
excited by few blatant walking dele
gates. refused to yield. The result was
that in just twelve days time all those
that my manager would allow to go back
were apparently glad to resume work,
and since last Monday the works have
been in full blast on the old basis.
w. A. CLARK.
Saratoga. August "a.
From the above it will be seen that
there was no strike in the mine at all,
but that the trouble arose in the smelter.
despite the voluntary concession OF
shorter hours to men working in dan
