He is reviled and traduced on every
hand, cartoons of him grace the pages
of the comic papers, he is spoken of as
blatant arbritray tyrant, who wears
loud clothes, cheap jewelry and says
"dese'' and ''dose"-the walking dele
gate. At least that is how he is re-
presented to the public by sycophantic
journalists-the toadies of capital. We
have met several walking delegates, or
as they are more correctly styled, bus
mess agents, and we must admit that
we saw nothing very fierce" about any
of them. They were all human though,
and prone to err like the rest of us,
but as a whole they appeared to be
level-headed, conservative fellows
many of them tactful and discreet, and
alive to the advantages of Industrial
peace.
This business agent, as we prefer to
call him, is a product of the develop
ment of the trade union movement in
large centers. He became particularly
conspicuous in New York durig the re-
gime of the, board of walking delegates
and many Of the screeds against him
and his methods appeared in the press
of the metropolitan district. It is 70
these exaggerated stories we might
largely attribute the disfavor into
which this genus homo has fallen else
where. But as we have said, this OBJ
jectionable parsonage is the product Of
orderly development. The fact of the
matter is that the business interests of
certain communities of trades unionisrs
became so extensive that they were
not receiving proper attention from
men, who besides attending to these
interests, had to work every day for a
living, and they very wisely determined
to employ a man who would give his
undivided attention to them. By virtue
of his office the business agent became
the representative of the union or
unions which employed him, and is, in
reality their executive officer. Necessar-
lily considerable power is vested in his
hands, and he is saddled with such
heavy responsibility as can only be
safely trusted to a man of firmness, tact
and even temperament. Such a one is
not always selected, and his mistakes
and impulseness sometimes involves
those whom he represents in trouble,
which had their interests been in more
capable hands, would have been avoid
ed. We are not prepared to say that
all of the charges made against bust
ness agents are unmerited, but we have
many reasons to know that many of
the charges against them are exagger-
ated and are born of the ill-disguised
hostility which the compliments feels
towards organized labor itself. AS
rule, too, the employer who is disposed
to deal fairly with his men, who is
willing to pay the wages agreed upon,
and to take no advantage of them,
gets along very we'll with a business
agent or any other representative of the
union. He has no little schemes to
conceal, he is not conniving to over

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

During the week a bill was introduced
into the legislature establishing a
court Of: arbitration.i 1t is compulsory
in it's nature, and upon the complaint
of one party to strike any case can
be brought before the court. While We
are in favor of settling all disputes by
arbitration and hope that the time is
not far distant when strikes will be a
thing Of the past, yet we look with
askance at the proposed measure. The
court is appointed by the governor. 1t
is to consist of one laboring man, one
employer and one lawyer, 1t is aboard
that wifi hear all trials. Neither side
has anything to say as to the, appoint
ment ofthe board. If it proved to be
biased, there is no way by which they
can be removed. Their decision will be
final and must be accepted under pen
atty of fine and Imprisonment. Some
will say that we might find the same
objection to the Supreme Court, but
the Supreme Court gives it's rulings on
law, while this body will decide merely
can go before the court and say that he
must have an increase in wages in
order that he can live and keep out
of debt. It costs him SO much to live,
and he earns so much, he must have
the amount that he is striking for in
order to live. The employer appears
before the board and shows by his
books that the cost of production is a
certain amount and the sales amount
to another sum. He shows that>if he
payss the increase asked for he will
simply have to go out of business. His
competitor in another locality gets his
labor cheaper than he does. The cost
of living is cheaper there, but he can
not help that. In such case what will
be the decision of the board? Against
- the laborer, of course, and he must &C
back to work under penalty. of i'm.
2prisonment and his family may starve
even while he is working so far as
they are concerned.

1t is with a feeling something akin
to- contempt that we hear members
speak of those who take an active
part in the deliberations of the AS
seml'ly, as trying to run the whole
thing" as being full of ''hot air. and
as being Jim Crow politicians, when
they themselves never say a word on
any subject and some do not even
vote. Delegates should make criti-
cisms of other delegates during the
sessions if they have any to make.

FREE LABOR BUREAU.

Mayor Hugo is having difficult time

mission. He says that it it hard to find
business man that has the time to
devote to it. 1t would please us very
much to see some lumberman accept
the position. He would be Of valuable
service to the commission. His know
ledge of the business and the fact that
he employs large number of men who
usually get work through an employ
ment bureau, would make him the best
kind of commissioner. 1t would
create a confidence in the bureau and
give it an immediate prestige.

WOMAN's WORLD.
Progress Of the Nineteenth Century

Progress Of the Nineteenth Century
One hundred years ago woman was
not a factor in religion, industrial.
commercial or political life to be con-
sidered. At the beginning of the nine
teenth' century she had no legal rights
that man was bound to respect. She
belonged body and soul to some man.
She did not own the clothes she wore,
even it she had earned the money
with which to purchase them. She
had no legal control over her own
person, earnings or children.
Women were shut out of the schools
and colleges, the trades and profess
ions, and all offices under the govern
ment; paid the most meagre wages
in the few occupations opened to
them, and denied everywhere the
necessary opportunities for their best
development. Worst still, woman had
no proper appreciation of themselves
as factors in civilization, and the few
noble souls that were possessed of a
prophetic vision of what the future
held in store for women were met on
all sides with ridicule and contempt
Believing self denial higher virtue
than self development, women ignor-
antly made ladders of themselves by
which fathers and sons and brothers
reached their highest ambitions, Great
ing an impossible gulf between them.
Nothing was more common than to
see the sons of the family educated

ant.
DR.. Gregory, who was standard au.
thority upon female propriety in the
eighteenth century, in his work, en-
titled Legacy to my Daughters says
"Should you be so unfortunate as
to possess robust constitution by
/ nature, assimilate such sickly deli
| cacy as is necessary to keep up the
proper female charm" He cautioned
all women to carefully hide all good
sense or learning they might possess
as men looked with malignant eye
upon women of sense or learning.
For over one hundred years after
public schools were established il
Massachusetts, girls were not allowed
to attend, and when the effort was
made on the part of one of the trus
tees of Hatfield school to admit girl:

a New York paper says that many
of the churches in that city have en-
tered into competition to see which
shall obtain the most eloquent preach
ers, the most costly cathedrals, the
finest singers, the most expensive of
chimes, and the largest membership
among the wealthy and the leaders of
fashion. That is capitalistic religion,
IA mixture of pha1:isaism, ostentation,
pride and prunella, in which neither
common sense people or angels take
any stock.

1t is very gratifying to note that
in the person of Labor Commissioner
O'Donnell we have man who does
not lose interest in, organized labor
because he happens to hold public
position. Mr.. O'Donnell is member
of the Minneapolis Plumbers union,
a delegate to the Trades and Labor
Council and chairman of an import
ant committee of that body. This is
as it should be. There is no good
reason why trade unionist should
forsake his principles because he holds
& a position of public trust.
