Reply to Pioneer Press Article
The st. Paul Pioneer Press recently

attached to the demand OF trade union
lists for an eight hour day law, for they
only comprised one-tenth of the work
ers of the United States. The Trades

tenth clause says:
TN reply to your assertion that the
eight-ho law is alone asked for by
the members of trade unions, who
comprise anly about one-tenth Of the

We will state that If It was left to those
workmen who are not affiliated with
the trade unions to secure legislation
in the interests of humanity. and the
wage-earners in particular. there
would be very few laws in the interests
of the toiling masses on the statute
books today; a days work would con-
sist of from twelve to fifteen hours,
wages would be considerable lower; in
Justice would supercede< justice, child
labor would take the place of adult la

The Electrical Workers union made
a demand on April for a union scale
Of wages, and supplemented it with !
declaration that eight hours should
constitute days work. The following
compensation was also demanded:
Thirty-one and one-half cents per hour,
time and half for all over time, and
double time for all Sundays and holi-
days. They also asked to have one ap-
prentice assigned to two journeymen.
The electrical contractors refused to
entertain this proposition, either in
whole or in part, and in consequence
the inside wiremen were called out.
At present the strike is confined to
what is known as the inside wire men.

"the owners of delivery wagons and so on
began having signs painted on the roofs OF
their wagons, to catch the eye Of those who
dwelt In homes above the street level. They
PAINTED these signs first with the name one
letter under the other, like a spine, straight
down the middle Of the wagon top from end
to end. Sometimes they painted the name
in the same location, but with the letters
arranged In the ordinary way, this making
a sign that could be easily read from one
side of the street only. Then they took to
natntinn the name on the wagon roof in two
places along either side Of the top, near the

A Practical Monument.


The suggestion Of Brigadier Genera. John
NJ Wilson that q Mckinley memorial arch
be incorporated in the design OF the pro-
posed bridge over the Potomac at Wash
ington is a very meritorious one, This To-
cation of monument to the deceased Pres
ident will have sentimental as well as q
practical advantage. At the gateway to the
old dominion state, where so many tredi-
tions of southern chivalry have had their
center and origin, is an eminently fitting
site for a memorial to a statesman who,
according to distinguished southern gen.
tleman, has done more to bridge the
chasm and smooth the breach between the
north and south than had any other living
man" The practical advantage Of ths site
Is that q monument erected here win not
be In an out-of-the-way place. 1t win be
passed and repassed by hundreds in the
course OF ordinary travel, as we'll as by
those who journey thfther for the especial
purpose of seeing 1t. n is to be hoped
that the plans for Mckinley memorial
will not miscarry. as have recent plans
Tor memorials to other distinguished citi-
zens, and in the furtherdnce Of those plans
the suggestion of General Wilson Is GER
tainly worthy OF serious consideration.

Reforms in English Coal Mines.

From GOO0 Woruss
Neither women nor boys Of tender age
are permitted to toll In coal pits. Sixty
wears ago, however, a very different state
of things obtained. The evidence given be-
fore the royal commission which inquired
into mining life in the forties was almost
incredible. One witness said that girls
ranging from ten to eighteen years Of age
worked in the Yorkshire pits naked to the
waist, and were clad In trousers only. "A
broad belt was buckled round the girls
waist, TO the front of which a chain was
fastened When she went on all fours the
chain passed between her legs. and was
attached to the corve, and she dragged the
coal wagon after her. being harnessed to
Il like an animal" Some Of the girls. the
nllers of the corves In the working places,
shoveled the coal in the presence Of miners
who worked in state OF nudity: and the
Decentralization OF both men and women in
the mines aroused the indignation Of the
commissioners The pitmen had become SO
accustomed to the prevailing shamelessness
that they were surprised at the sensation
the revelations caused, and one miner ad-
mitted though in rather q lukewarm tone.
that 'sit did make the girls rather boldish
being In the pits" Where self-respect was
absent there could be little religion, and
two piteous answers to questions on Chris
tianity were given by girl workers. one
saying, mo; never heard OF Christ; no.
body ever told me about Him." and an
other asserting this singular travesty OF
Scrfptural fact: ~'Jesus was Adams son.
