AMONG THE ToILERS.

The master builders at Bridgeport,
Conn. have acceded to the demand
of the carpenters. bricklayers, plas-
terers, and stonemasons for an eight
hour workday.
The new wage agreement of the
New York Electrical Workers calls
for an eight-hour day with $3.50 pay,
and covers all contracts within ra-
dius of 25 miles of New York city.
A cooperative company composed Of
glass workers from the gas belt of In
diana has let the contracts for the con-
struetiou of two six-pot furnace
window glass factory at Centralia. Ill.
The New South Wales labor party
has declared uncompromising opposi-
tion to militariSm, and demonstrations
will be made against any further ex-
penditure of money to make war in
South Africa.
The new law TO be enforced in the
state of Washington prohibits the em-
ployment of any female clerk or as
sistant more than ten hours. The
same applies TO hotels, restaurants,
stores and laundries, and will necessi-
tate closing stores at six or seven p. m.

AMERICAN LABOR.
Prophecy Made That IL VIII soon ns
Able 10 supply All Domestic
Needs.

In the course of an interview print
ed in the Washington Star, Secretary
Wilson speaks enthusiastically of the
prospect that the United States will
soon he absolutely independent of
the rest of the world in the matter
of food products. He points to ex-
periments now under way which, IL
successful in the degree anticipated,
will render unnecessary the importa-
tion of sugar. tea, rice or macaroni
wheat. all of these products being
grown ON this continent. He fur
thermore expects to see the new pos
sessions produce, in sufficient quanti-
ties for home consumption. coffee and
rubber. both articles of heavy inn
portation and of rapidly increasing
use. Even in the matter of the fine
grade of cotton which is now inn
ported in large quantities from
Egypt, there is hope that a suitable
soil will be found here for it's do
nestle growth. making the United
States self-suficieni in nearly every
line of commerce which at present
throws heavy items on the debt side
of the international trade balance.
If these optimistic expectations are
realized the United States will be
secure from foreign molestation ON
trade lines. for meanwhile it win have
probably succeeded in further ad-
vancing the trade in its own super
flnous products abroad. Thus, with
the United States capable of growing
or manufacturing everything it needs
within its possessions, continental
and insular. and of producing suf-
ficient surplus to dominate the world
markets in many directions, 1t can
regard the efforts of Europe at re-
taliatory combination with con-
iident Indifference. II is fortunate
that while the states have been hust-
ling to capture the foreign market
they have not neglected the matter
of home provision. In the search for
soils suitable for peculiar growths.
heretofore considered as exclusively
foreign. the government agencies
have scored heavily. The same
amount of foresight and shrewdness
in the maintenance of the foreign
trade standards and the exploita-
tion OF American products abroad
viii entrench the United States be-
hind commercial and agricultural
fortress capable of withstanding the
assaults of all Europe.

THE STRUCTURAL WORKER.
Adventures which Have DefnlIen N
Men who Put Together Mighty
Modern Buildings and bridges.

There is nothing in the great steel
industry more interesting than the adj
ventures which befall the workers
who put together the mighty modern
buildings and bridges. Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly recently had a cap
ital article upon them.
Among the things that iron men
have to fear are the flying off of red
hot burrs from iron while riveting the
breaking of planks, the giving way of
rigging. which. in an instant, may bring
down derrick, a traveller, into a heap
of collapsed iron.
But hear the iron men and their own
stories. a group of them sat one night
in my presence and spun yarns.
"0ut on the Louisville bridge" said
John, as he took fresh puff of his
cigar, 1.-THE false work suddenly gave
way. The false work. you know" Ito
mel, sis the temporary wood bracing
we work upon while building. The
men below could see it buckling; the
fellows on top knew when they start
ed to work on it in the morning that
it wasn't safe. All at once, as | say, it
went. One of the fellers made jump
for the river. 1t was 200 feet down,
but he tried it. As he jumped he in
terloeked his legs the had big, heavy
boots). Those boots weight carried
him down straight He struck the wa
ter on his feet, and wasn't hurt at
all. A few days later he was out walk
ing, slipped. fell three feet. and broke
leg. That's true; know the man"
"A feller fell % feet once in Pitts
burgh." put in another man, 'in sand,
too. and broke his neck"
"once," said Billy, "a man | knew,
who was working on the ridge of an
iron house roof. lost his hold and COM
meneed to slide down the corrugated
iron. 1t was a slide of about 25 feet
10 the edge. and then came a drop of
30 feet, as he knew. on some heaps of
scrap-iron, Down he went, and just
at the edge a rivet caught his cordu-
roys and held him there"

EARLY HOURS.
n.t,t.s s..tem of 81 o'cIoei. starts
had for norkmeH, aud 70
ECONOMY at That.

The idea which underiies the sup
posed necessity IN British shops oi the
six o'clock start is. that long day
work Is secured. says Joseph horner,
in Cassier's Magazine. But II the mas
ters xere always in their shops by SIX,
moving about among the men. they
would zee that this early work IS, as
a rule, the most uuproduetise IN the
day.
Those Who make q casual early visit
once IN moon 10 their works Just 10
wake up the men and the foremen,
might a. well save Themselves the
trouble for aught they learn thereby.
Theg do not see the many leakages
that 20 on. and neither are they quaii-
fled by experience 10 estimate the
subtle differences between the men IN
those early hours aud those who start
work under better physiological CON
ditions. In these flying visits they see
only that the time is put in, and
time instead Of energy Is the common
measure Of work done in the factory.
Very often the writer has observed
that men. after losing quarters. have
got through more work in the day
than others who commenced at six
O'Clock The loss of time in quarter
days knocking off corners'--is OBJ
vious; but energy losses do not show
directly in the books. nor are they
always apparent TO those who suffer
thereby.
Nor does the mischief consist alone
in broken rest. Early rising carries
with II exhnusting conditions. Men
are hungry, and slack in consequence
of going out into the raw cold with
out food or warm drink in the stom-
ach and having TO work thus for two
hours and half before breaking
fast. Often they get wet and stand
in wet clothes and boots without the
fortifying influence afforded by food
at the proper time.
The darkness of winter mornings
fayors sulking. TO which the badly
lighted state of many shops is favor
able. Men have to hurry 10 get in
side the gates by time. Then oppor-
tunities are taken to lace the boots
and finish a too hasty toilet, perhaps
TO surreptitiously warm cup OF cof-
fee and to rub warm chilled hands
and limbs. Work is nearly always
slack before breakfast. owing to the
raw environment, for well-warmed
shops are as yet exceptional in Great
Britain. These things are necessarily
winked at: but If foreman or man
ager appear, the men are alive for
the time, and put On spurt which
does not last.

4 JUDICIAL DECISION
Strikes a Blow at Labor by Uphold
ing Blacklisting.
The sev York worker Makes some
timely Comments Lpon the tut
ina Of a Chicago ceurf-1he

The decision Of Judge Waterman, Of
The superior court Of Chicago, follow

court. IN q case originating IN a strike

Or other otherwise made themselves
objectionable in arriving at this
conclusion, Judge Waterman declares
that I'll i now the undisputed right Of
every man to determine upon what
terms he will work. and no inquiry can
be made into the motives which induce
him 10 refuse TO labor more than Ger
tain hours Moreover. the fact that
the refusal 10 work II IN pursuance Of

rights in the case. In the same way,
employers are within their legal rights

material. for III an act be lawful. II is
not actionable, however intentional or
malicious II may be" The judge con-
tinues.
"The consequence of refusal to EN-
ploy any man mny be deleterious and
pitiful: 50 the consequence OF refusing
10 work for another may be disastrous
nnd ruinons; but the fact that one re-
fuses To employ another because he
wishes to see him come 10 want, or
that man refuses o work for another
because he wishes to see his business
broken up aud him thrown into bank
ruptcy, does not give a cause of ae-
ton"
The issues involved from the stand
point Of the waRc-earner are thus
vigorously stated by the New York
Worker.
"In times OF strikes we hear n
great deal about the right To work.
The capitalist Judges. politicians and
editors loudly proclaim the inalien-
able right of every man to work
when aud where and how he will,
and denounce the tyranny OF the

this right by establishing rules that
men must not work for more than
specified hours or for less than spe-
Gifted wages. and that one working
man shall not take ahe place of an
other who has gone out in resistance

ployer.
"But when IL is n case of blacklist
Ing. as in Chicago, or of lockout. as
now in Dayton. or in the building
trades in this city-when capitalists
make an agreement not to employ
members OF trade unions or persons
who have had the impudence to re-
sist the lowering of wages-the right
to work is forgotten and the same
capitalists are loud in their defense
of the right to organize
"Thus it appears that, In the
mouths OF the sufferers of the pres
ent system. the 'innlienable right to
work means only the right of cap
italists 10 employ scabs. and the i'm
alienable right TO organization means
only the right of capitalists TO con

defcnseless working girls into alb

HE HAD A woRLD-BEATER.
Something Wonderful p the "as OF
TaIkigE Machine cona-
bInation.

"Yes,s said Chicago business man
to a Detroit Free Press reporter,
ives. We think we have hit upon one
of the greatest inventions of this age
Of invention, and when the busy
world Is introduced TO our phono-
typograph it will stop a moment in
amazement and admiration. That
may sound to you like a clause out
of a circus bill, or chapter from
Chicago novelist's novel, but 1t ls
true bill. nevertheless. You are aware
that for a long time there have been
efforts to combine in some way the
present style of typewriter and the
phonograph, but until now these eff
forts have invariably failed. 4 year
ago we discovered in Chicago young
mechanic who had solved the prob
lem, as we believed, and we put mon
ey back of our belief, as Chicago peo-
pie are always ready 10 do, and told
him to 90 ahead with his machine until
he had IL where he thought it ought
to be readyto be offered to the world.
1t is hardly that yet, for the best
machine is susceptible of improve
ment, but we think we have good
thing.
"Of course, can't give you all the
details, but | think | can make clear
to you the general working principle
of the phono-typograph. As its name
indicates, it is typewriting of sound.
That has been the idea in all other
attempts, but il was not found prac-
ticable, because the sounds were
words and there were too many
words to reduce to machinery, as it
were. The phonograph and the tele-
phone principle got the sounds all
right, but each sound was a word.
and that could not be put in type.
Our man, however, hit upon a sep
aration of the words into letters, and
that brought his field of operation
into the limit of 26 sounds. For
punctuating marks we use spaces,
but as yet we have no capitals. The
machine, of course, is electric. and
the operator talks into it as into a
telephone, except hat he spells out
each word and as the sound of the
letter strikes upon the disk it is re-
produced on the corresponding let.
ter which in turn is printed exactly
as the ordinary typewriter would
print it.
"At first blush the spelling out oi
each word would seem to entail more
time and labor than the old style oi
typewriting, but a very few hours
will show any person that our phono'
typograph will do the work of two
people in half the time they will con.
sumo by the existing methods. We
are willing to admit that our machine
is not perfect in its details, but as
far as it goes, and it goes good
long way, it is n world beuter. A
newspaper friend of mine has one on
trial on which he has written 10C
words a minute, and averages ~
right along. He doesn't know any
thing about typewriting of the old
kind, either, and doesn't have to, as
glibness of tongue takes the place oi
nimbleness of fingers. We hope tc
have them on the market within 6(
days, but are in no especial hurry, as
there are some small details we wan
perfected before coming up for judg
ment. No." concluded the gentleman
in response to querry, there is nC
stock for sale. We know goot
thing when we see it."
