A CHAPTER ON GRATIS"
Species Which Scientists Have Neg
4 #lected. to Include In Their List. s5sss5 ss5


Norway Rat, the rellousea R 81, q the
Sewer Rat ana other endless species Of
the rodent family too numerous to
mention. However, there is one species,
which the zoologist and scientist has
neglected to include in his classification,
that We wish to call attention to in this
chapter-and of the entire family of
rats, this one species is without ques-
tion the most abominable and obnoxi-
Gus of the whole breed. It is the rat!
Scientists err when they class it with
as belonging to the genus homo. It is
clearly and distinctly of the genus
mus. Say not 1T lacks the mark-it is
not a rodent" It is! 1t has tale-"a
tale of woe' of fifty years growth.
Like its near cousin, the Sewer Rat,
it hates light, and lives or the offal of
mankind. It "squeals' when cornered,
and occasionally Shows fight when in
a tight hole. It nibbles industriously
at the foundation in hope of gaining
entrance to the store-room, where it
caR steal; and it has an uncommonly
sharp eye after holes and crevices,
when there is danger at hand. It
feasts on crackers and cheese at the
scanty table of the managers of the
rat museums, sometimes known as rat
Offices" and it hides in the five-cent
beer; free-soup joints. and under the
free lunch counters, until good union
men walk out" Then it notifies the
family, and all the rats" rally once
again and walk in." ! ;.
Rats are tricky, and they may at
times learn and seemingly repent, but
they can never change their nature.
"Once a rat always rat" They can't
be trusted. If opportunity offers, they
will eat you-yes, they will eat each
other alive. There is hope for the sin
ner, be he ever so great; but not for
the rat. It is doomed to living death.
So pray heaven that you do not turn
rat. t.-Organized Labor.

SUPPORT THE LABEL.
Says Labor President Garrett, Of tho
Georgia Federation OF Labor.

Says Labor President Garrett, of the
Georgia Federation Of Labor.
In his report to the Georgia Fedora.
tion of Labor, President Garrett had
the following TO- say about the union
label:
j 5"Ail men should support union labor
and the union label. For thousands of
years. in one form or another, there
has been fought the unequal contest of
the workers for All increased proportion
Of the wealth they produce. Today ali
over the world organized labor is max
ing the same fight. The union label is
simply the guarantee that the goods
you buy have been produced by union
men, and that means the workers have
more decent conditions. 1t means that
you are not buying the products Of the
sweatshop or of child labor. The trade
union movement lis one OF ;he chief
emancipation factors in the labor move
ment Of the world, demanding union
made goods means that we are aiding
the working class, or clan. to receive
q larger proportion, Of the wealth they
alone create. Demanding the union
label creates no antagonisn Or i'll will.
and If the union men everywhere
would be true to themselves BY de-
inanding the union label thereby Great
ing demand for union-made goods, the
merchants and retail dealers will do
the rest, S# Is ss .ssss 4

IMPORTANT WORk
To Be Attended To-There Will Be An
Improvement in the System
i of Organizing.

Tuesday will be taken up with the
adoption of new business, resolutions,
final reports of committees, the all i'm
portant work Of organization, and the
election Of officers. = &5.4.t. T .
The Federation Council sent e. E.
Stevens of the. Minneapolis Union to
Mankato for the purpose Of arranging
for the convention, he writes as fol-
lows Of Mankato: '*>} ! *
From personal visit to Mankato,t
believe there is chance for the State
Federation of Labor to organize at
least two, and possibly three active un-
ions in that city. The cigarnakers and
the BARRIERS should be easily organized,
and the quarrymen ought to be brought
together. Mankato is a live prosperous
city, and there is no reason why there
should not be some good unions there.
One word I wish to say to delegates
who will attend the convention is this:
Mankato is a very conservative city,
and in the minds of some of her citizens
there is an impression that organized
labor is a radical, dissension seeking
element, and that members of unions
are in some cases considered as disturb
ers of economic, peace. It should be
the aim Of every delegate to SO conduct
himself during his stay In the city, as
to disabuse the minds Of these few Of
such an opinion, and to show, what is
the truth, that organized labor is COM
posed Of the best element Of our citi-
zens; that they are gentlemen, and are
working solely for the betterment Of
existing cond ditions, ana for the ad-
y anssmsnt,ef the Such sh
State Federati lon can BE made produc-:
tive Of much good, and each delegate
should remember that tehe whole mem
bership will be Judged by the conduct
Of individual members. Let Mankato
have no opportunity to express an ad-
verse opinion of the action of any dele
gate.'' i -

NORTH CAROLINA CREDITED WITH
BEING MOST ILLITERATE STATE. III,
The White Negro IL More DanEerous
to Industrial Development Thaa
tho Black 0ne-Opposes the EAuca-
tion Of His Children, Being Toe
La.y to Work Himself Forcing His
Children to Work at an Early Are.

The fourteenth annual report of the
Bureau Of Labor and Printing Of North
Carolina, for the year 1900, is a sugges-
tive volume, as bearing upon the labor
question in the South. The main sub
ject dealt with is that OF compulsory
education. At present North Carolina
is the most illiterate state in the union.
Compulsory education bills have been
introduced at every session OF the leg
islature for a number Of years past,
but have failed Of passage. The chief
opposition to these measures comes
from the cotton-mfll men, who, while
admitting the evils OF the existing child
labor system, fear that this much
needed law would be but the entering
wedge for the early adoption Of such
labor legislation as other states have
already placed upon their statute books
and enforce The subject inspires Z
new, If not an original interest In the
people of the state because Of its rela-
tfon to the political future Of the white
race in the South. The recently adopt
ed amendment to the State Constitution
imposing an educational qualification
upon the voter, was intended, as every
one knows. to disfranchise the negro.
It now appears that the amendment
will disfranchise only white men,
while the negro will VOTE for the
reason that, as Commissioner Lacy
points out, ''the illiterate negro sends
his children to school,, while the Hitter
ate white man sends his to the factory,
and cannot be persuaded that he Is In
juring his child in compelling him to
labor that he may Loaf
In this assumption Of the white pa
rents responsibility we have an inver-
sion Of cause and effect which touches
the keynote of the whole situat1o The
condition Of the people Of North Caro-
lima is serious; it is condition involv-
=, ing other and more potent questions
than that Of the white mans rule in
politics, and one that in its very nature
affects the interests Of the entire coun-
try. Consider, first, the actual work
ing conditions existing in the state, as
shown by: the following. excerpts from
the report: .@estsSs s3ss.
Agricultural laborers, wages per
month. with board. etc., highest aver
age for men, s1s. q j; lowest, s. o. !; wo-..

wages per day. highest average for
men, $1.72: lowest, Sic; women, highest
average, "a cents; lowest, 80 cents;
children, total average, 81 cents: length
OF working: day from 10 to 127z hours.
Railroad employees: Average wages per
day, station agents from $1.14 to 81
cents; engineers, $2.7o1t; fremen, $1,09;
conductors, $2.19; trainmen, S9hc; for
trackmen,, Is cents; telegraph opera
tors. $1.2o: other employees. $1.o4. i
These figures betoken q condition Of
Reorganization among 4 the workers
without parallel in any part Of the
world, except in other states In the
South. It seems. too, that there Is
little hope for Improvement by selfsef-
fort, IL we may Judge from the people
themselves so far as they can be heard.
In great number OF letters to the
commissioner the opinion is almost un-
animous that the low standard Of the
wage earners is due to their laziness,
extravaganza and intemperance'-the
stock subterfuge Of the industrial pir-
ate. ss5:s zs 4 55.@ 81 5s-f5 @ q .@7s5 rs
In all the mass Of opinion rendered
there is not q single suggestion Of q,
cause underlying the conditions noted
or remedy therefor. Even the Ques-
tion of compulsory education is favor
ed mainly as a political measure. For
this reason the public attitude on the
latter subject is interesting as an In
stance in the concrete Of the error pre-
vailing in the state The following are
q few OF the expressions on the subs
ject, taken Unfortunately from Diff

The Carpenters union will be repre-
sented by five delegates. Among them
is j. HI. Baker, the oldest union man in
the city. Mr.. Baker became connected
with organized labor in 1857, over forty
years ago. He is still in the harness,
and is now engaged by his union in the
capacity of business agent. He is the
most successful business agent they
have ever had, and watches his unions
affairs very closely. Like all men OF
the movement who. have given the
greater part Of their life to it, he has
both enemies and friends. It matters
little how much his enemies may sue

gagement he .bobs up serenely' like
