famine. No worse curse; could be pict-
ured on this earth than the toiling OF
men from day to day-where the fruits
Of their labors are destructive, degrad-

Today; aver that this cursed state
Of affairs around the docks-the deep
est and vilest stain on the character
and history Of any city Of our fair
country-is wiped out through organi-
cation Of the workers..

continuing to organize and band them

less to themselves and to their fami-
lies; but wherever the international
Longshorennen's Association has plant
ed it's banner these conditions have
been changed, and in many Of the con-
tracts which have been entered into
between the employers and the mem-
bers OF our association, . clause has
been inserted-that pure and fresh
drinking water with oatmeal and ice
shall be provided on the docks where
men are employed. We hear much
preaching about intemperance among
workingnen, but those who preach
seldom know that the contractor in
dealing with unorganized and helpless
men is often a promoter Of the liquor
traffic. Nor do we often hear as we
should. what unionism has done to
promote temperance by removing the
bad conditions which fostered the liq-
uor habit. ..sss.- -. /. {.

We recommend that section should
be framed to add to some act where IT
Is most advisable
Declaring it to be unlawful for any
captain of an American vessel to en-
gage or employ a Chinese person or
persons unless such Chinese are law

Its getting nearer to the end Of the
tlrst battle. 1t does not matter where
you, 90, you can hear nothing but the
discussion Of politics. Who viii get the
nomination? that's the question. It it
was not that the politicians were strip
ped OF their power it would be very
easy to say who the successful candi-
date will be. The primary election law
has not given any Of the candidates
very much encouragement as to the
result.
Both Republican candidates have
opened headquarters, and both are
working like beavers. Mayor Hugo's
committee has its axes sharpened and
Is doing great work. A meeting, OF the
Fifth ward Republicans was held IN
the Hugo headquarters Thursday ev-
enine, and the situation was thoroughly
discussed. The aldermanic candidates
In this ward are making an extensive
canvass and every Republican in the
ward has been seen, so that q full vote
of the party is expected in this ward.
Captain Stevens seems to have the
other fellows guessing, and by the way
they are working it looks as though
the captains friends mean business.
What ever the outcome may be, neither
Is going to have a walk away.
Truelsen, optimistic Truelsen is as
confident as ever. Several meetings
were held in his headquarters this
week, which were well attended.
His workers are confident the" the
old man" will succeed. They will hold
. meeting In Normanna hall Saturday
evening and another in the Great East
ern hall Monday evening.
Frank Crassweller's friends are per-
haps the most industrious Of all. His
advisory council holds q meeting every
noon and reports the work Of the pre-
vious twenty-four hours. In every pre-
cinct the workers are making a house
to house canvass. This maner OF work.
Ing and the fact that they are receiving
so much encouragement is giving them
faith as to their success on Tuesday.
Doctor Murray's friends are as in
dustrious as ever. Until last week they
were working on the outside. The doc
tor requested his men to keep off Su-
pertor street until the last week. Now
they are working along this street and
are visiting every business house. The
doctor does not expect to- make the
