THE WALKING DELEGATE.


San Francisco News Letter.
The end OF the butchers strike. with the
complete victory OF the wholesale people.
ends in the failure i'm this city OF Jefferson
Davis Pierce. the so-called organizer OF
the American Federation OF Labor, the
walking delegate who came here two
months ago 10 take advantage OF the union
superstition OF our workingnsen for the fur
ther.ng OF his own selfish ends and the
spread OF Industrial disSension. Pierce came
here with the avowed Intention of union
izing the city; in other words, of so chang
ing conditions that the employers OF the
town have TO take on such men, good or
bad, as their employees should DICTATE. The
cooks and walters strike. the brtchers'
strike. and the impending portsrs' and
packers strike had no other END. The first
two have ended in dismal failures. I'm spite
or all that Pierce could do TO whip the
laboring men OF the city into lire TO help
out, and the porters and packers strike
will have the same dismal ending IL the
trade uniontstS do not learn who Is their
own worst enemy in time TO throw Pierce
over before the crash comes.
Pierce Is a little, plausible man. with a
ready tongue, an air OF owning the uni
verse, and the shifty. green eye that be-
longs TO the sleek and cheap politician.
While lecturing on the wrongs OF the down.
cast workingman at the hands OF the cap
italist. he and his wife. who goes along TO
Organize women workers. are putting
away diamonds. How much richer he will
be when he leaves the coast than he was
when he entered IL. only he and the father
of thieves know, but some idea might be
gathered from his December expense ac-
count. That month he was not out of the
city of Los Angeles. yet the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. kept up from the contri-
buttons of his dupes. footed a bill of $40
for his travelling expenses in that month.
Another graft which has yielded some
small revenue 10 the Pierce tribe Is the
founding of charters. Wherever he has
found a trade with ten members he has
FASTENED 20 form a union among them,
with "A hi~gh-sounding name. This IL for the
good of the cause. and Incidentally for the
sum awarded him and his efficient helpmate
for every charter given. In this WAY he has
added to his pile by banding together the
chicken-pickers under the title of Brother
hood of Laborers." 4 few DAYS ago he
found sixteen girls at work I'm a cigarette
factory on the water front. In two DAYS
he had them up at the labor temple and
had taken their hard-earned cash In return
for the title OF international Union OF To-
bacco Workers" And now, he is reported
as struggling with the bartenders for the
good of honest and upright labor and the
price of the charter.
Superstition carries men fast and far.
but this working Of the union superstition
through its fetish Pierce passes human be-
lief.

TO FIGHT TROLLEY LINES

TABLIsH CLOSE RELATIONS.
Clover Leaf VIII Return tn Its Old
Policy of Having Representatives.
at Important Centcrs.

The Central Passenger Association mas
set it's foot down against railroads hob
nobbing with electric lines. A resolution
has been passed declaring that the asso-
citation is unalterably opposed TO General
Passenger Agent Horner's deal with an
electric line at Findlay. O. In order TO get
business for the Nickel-plate road Mr.
Horner devised the plan Of giving the
patrons a free ride from Findlay. three
miles out. TO the location of a Nickel
plate depot. The Cleveland Terminal &
Valley road has a similar arrangement at
Massillon. Beyond any other consideration
the passenger men believe that soon
enough will the electric lines become COM
petitors of the steam roads. and that 1t is
not best to encourage them.
In this connection il should be said that
but few persons are aware of the extent
trolley lines are cutting into the business
of the steam roads. In Indiana Ii is felt
more by the Big Four in the gas belt ter
ritory than any other part of the State,
although the Vandalia is feeling it in its
business between Brazil and Terre Hautc
In the gas belt territory II has reduced
the business OF the steam roads fully 80
per cent, and between some points 50 to
30 per cent. Between Anderson and Elwood
the trolley line has taken, IL is stated
officially, 20 per cent. of the passenger bus
mess.

SPORTS AS AN EDUCATOR.


st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The Army and Navy Journal SAYS that an
army officer in Luzon is DESTROYS to intro
duce American games which require the
use of the English language. His reason
for this is that such games would induce
the study of English. ''This reminds US"
the Journal, "of a Milwaukee
German paper which deplored the inability
of German parents to keep their children
interested in German in this country. AS
soon as a boy gets big enough to take an
interest in BASEBALL, 1t said, he reads only
the American accounts, because only there
are the descriptions made ineligible to
him."
By all means let baseball be introduced
i'm LuZOn and set before the youthful Fill
pino daily some really accurate account of
the game such as this:
1T was a battle of southpaws. Aguinaldo
did slab duty for the locals and Placido
for the rice-eaters. Aggy was pudding for
the visitors from the first. When Segovia
balanced the willow in the first he ficked
a Star-startler clean over the left prairie
perch for rubbernecks and came over the
rubber at an easy canter. SigismundO
knocked holes in the air two times. but
caught the sphere in the solar plexus for a
slow work TO BUencamino, who had a bad
case of ~rattles, and tailed another notch
for the rice-guZZlers on q steaming liner
by Strapetco to short, which was good for
a second bag or a bum tumble by the
Nacabebe captain"
The average account of a baseball game
is a limpid we'll of English which We can
heartily recommend to the Filipino boy,
not only for the extent of the vocabulary,
but for the purity of the diction.

garding astronomical evidence bearing on

tivity could not have occurred in winter.
older than the history of Rome. After the
sun reaches its southernmost point and
begins its return, the days grow longer, the
cold relaxes. and we pass from the dreari-
ness of winter To the mildness of spring: it
Is. therefore, natural that mankind should
rejoice. On Dec. % the Romans celebrated
the return of the sun by their Feast of

A Clover Leaf Mistake.

When President Norton took control OF
the Toledo, st. Louis & Western, In his
efforts to economize, he abolished a number
OF outside agencies, including New York.
At the time this action excited rather
severe criticism. An attempt was made to
establish reciprocal relations with trunk
lines and the Clover Leaf connections.
which relations were expected to give that
road as much business as ii had obtained
through the former methods, although IL
had been tried without success by others
who previously were. identified with the
management of the property. 1t has not
taken long to demonstrate that dropping
the various agencies within the State was
a mistake, and at first other methods were
adopted. irregular in character. for getting
the business going to other lines at st.
Louis and other western points. On more
than one occasion cut rates were secretly
made, both on freight and passenger busi-
ness, more especially on the latter, although
prohibited by association agreements. If
reports are correct the new management
has seen the folly of dropping agencies
and trusting to the good will of con-
nections. and is now reappointing agents
at the more important points which for
merly furnished business for the Glover
Leaf. 1t is understood that both freight
and passenger offices will be established In
New York city.
