MISS RrTTNER WANTS $1,000
Sues Laundry Company for Damages
Based on Expectation of Life.

Sues Laundry Company for Damages
Based on Expectation of Life.
According to the complaint filed in the
case of Hattie Bttner against George
Nj and Arthur B. Carter proprietors of
the Elite laundry, the defendants agreed
to employ the defendant for the rest of
her natural life at the rate of $4 per
week. She asks damages in the sum of
$11 300. That is the substance of the com
plant.
Miss Bittner, who is twenty-one years
DID, was employed about a year ago by
the defendant company in their laundry.
While employed in the work she was hir-
ed to do she had both her hands caught
in mangle, and lost the fingers of both.
The laundry people seemed willing to
do what was right by her, and she agreed
to accept $3.50 in damages if they would
sign an agreement promising to give her
employment as long as she should desire
it at the rate of 81 per week. Miss Bit
ner, having signed away her right to sue
for and recover damages, sought out r.
D. O'Brien and laid the trouble before
him. After some consideration, he de-
cided to ask the court to compel the
company to pay her at the rate of 81
a week for the rest of her natural life,
and to pay it all at once.
Then O'Brien and Assistant City At
torney McDermot, who is associated with
him in the case, set about to devise a
means to set upon the amount to be asked
for. To this end they were finally COM
PEELED to consult a mortuary table. The
table said that inasmuch as Miss Bittner
was only tWenty-one years of age, there
was every reason to believe that in the
nature of events she would live to be
flfty-one years old, thus making thirty

ceive the 81 per week. had the defendants
lived up to their agreement. At the rate
OF 81 a week for thirty years, they found
that she would be entitled to $11,S00, and
thus they fixed that as the amount of
| damages required.

The trustees of the Rowe Congrega-

home of F. P. Shuffleton, 936 East Sixth

informal one and the future outlook of

the corner of Forest and Case streets
and the Congregational Union has given
the church the old Como mission build

Judge Lewis Engaged in Unrave1-
ing Tangled Case.
Judge Lewis was yesterday engaged in
trying the case brought by William Ell
lott, as executor of the estate of Lizzie
B. Tiffany, against Louis B. Tainter, Will
liam Clark and others. 1t is stated that
Clark owned some real estate in st. An
thony Park and applied to Mrs. Tiffany
for loan of $4,000 upon it, which was
negotiated. Clarks abstract of title prov
ed defective. inasmuch as it failed to
mention a former mortgage of 2,001 on
the same property, owned by fainter.
Clark owed the Northern Trust company
certain money on a mortgage and paid
the company $1,000 of the money he re-
cieved from Mrs. Tiffany. The question
at issue is, can the Tiffany estate be adj
judged. to stand in the place of the
Northern Trust company, whose mort
gage was satisfied with the money adj
vanced by her.

WHY WE MOURN

We socialists mourn for the slain
president, not only because a cruel
murder was committed, but because
it might have been prevented.
We, mourn not alone for Mrs. Nc
Kinley, but for the countless other
women made widows unnecessarily.
We are Mortified by Czolgosz' deed
and by the murders and suicides that
are recounted in every morning paper.
We grieve over the terrible anarchist
spirit revealed by the Buffalo tragedy
and by the hysterical capitalist press
and pulpit crying out for lynch law
and vigilance committees.
We look abroad over the civilized
world and behold one vast graveyard
filled with the victims of this awful
system. Mckinley and Czolgosz are
alike its product.
The most ominous sign of the day
is the obstinate refusal of the capital
list leaders is to consider causes. The
only talk heard now in all these ora
tions and editorials is of repressive
measures. 1t is the quack treatment
of the symptoms instead of the causes
of disease. Such a method is both I'M
scientific and dangerous. 1t is un-
worthy of reasoning men and will
only nourish fresh disaster. We say,
remove the injustice which underlies
modern society like a modern earth
quake, and you only tell us fiercely,
"Away with you, your teaching is a
stepping stone to anarchy"
Brothers, do you not understand,
can you not understand, will you not
understand, that never yet in the his
tory of our kind, could freedom of
thought and criticism of injustice be
SO suppressed? We must speak and
we shall speak, on your behalf, and
our own behalf and on behalf OF all
the opposed and enslaved of capital
ism.
In these days of universal express
sion of grief and horror, we socialists
are bound down as no Others can be
because we see so much more thar
the unthinking and hysterical mass
To us modern civilization is one un
ceaainS tradgedy which might yet b.
turned, as by magician's wand, into
one glorious day of peace and plenty

All other classes, despite their apparent or
actual conait is, are alike interested in the
upholding of ia system OF private ownership
of the instrumt nts of wealth production.
The democratic. republican, the bourgeois
public ownership y. lrties, and all other par
ties which do not stand for the complete
overthrow of the capita list system of pro-
duction are alike poit. cal representatives
of the capitalist class.
The workers can most e. tecClVely dGG ds
a class in their struggle againA Vhe coliec-
tive powers of capitalism by CONSTITUTING
themselves into a political party uiSsl1cu
from and opposed to all parties for llleu ny
the propertied classes
While we declare that the developm. ut
of economic conditions tend to the overthrow
of the capitalist system, we recognize that
the time and manner of the transition of So
calism also depend upon the stage of de-
velopment reached by the proletarat. We
therefore, consider it of the utmost import
ance for the socialist party to support all ac-
tive efforts of the working class to better its
condition and to elect socialists to political
Offices in order to facilitate the attainment
of this end.
AS such means we advocate
|. The public ownership of all the
means of transportation and communication
and all other public utilities as well as of all
industries controlled by monopolies trusts
such industries 10 be applied to the reduc-
ton of taxes on property of the capitalist
class, but to be applied wholly to the in
crease of wages and shortening of the hours
of labor of the employees, to the improve
ment of the service and diminishing of the
rates to the consumers.
2. The progressive reduction of the
hours of labor and the increase of wages in
order to decrease the share of the capital
list and increase the share of the worker in
the product of labor.
3. State or national insurance of work.
ing people in case of accidents, lack of en-
ployment, sickness and want in old age: the
funds for this purpose to be furnished by the
government and to be administered under
the control of the working class.
A. The inauguration of a system of pub
lie industries, public credit to be used for
that purpose in order that to the workers be
secured the full product of their labor.
3. The education of all children up to
the age of Is years. and state and NUM-
cipal aid for books, clothing and food.
6. Equal civil and political rights for
men and women.
:. The initiative and referendum. pro-
portiOnal representation and the right of re-
call of representatives by their constituents.
But in advocating these measures as
steps in the overthrow of capitalism and the
establishment of the cooperative common
wealth, we warn the working class against
the so-called public ownership movement as
an attempt of the capitalist class to secure
government control of public utilities for the
purpose of obtaining greater security in the
exploitation of other industries and not for
the amelioraton of the conditions of the
working class.
