Labor Conditions In Chicago.


The decision of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to place permanent
organizer in Chicago is regarded with
great satisfaction by the unionists
there. They say that never was the
time so opportune as at present. The
fever for organization is spreading at
a rate that is satisfactory to the most
sanguine. Appeals from workingmen
and women to organize them are be-
ing received daily by the officers OF
the Chicago Federation Of Labor and
a Est of new unions launched within
the past three months shows that
active work is being done by the local
organizers.
Nearly fifty new unions have been
organized since the fever broke out
in February, a record that is not
equaled in any city in the United
States. The membership of the older
unions has increased in proportion,
and if the campaign keeps up Chicago
will soon be in position to claim a
place in the front rank of the best or
ganized cities in the country.
Although the building trades have
been well organized there for several
years, and on that account Chicago
has been called the "hotbed" of union
ism by the Building Contractors
council, yet it was behind most OF the
large cities throughout the country In
the way of organization. 1t has at
last awakened to realization OF its
condition, and fields hitherto inacces-
sible are being invaded by the organ
izers with marked success. The num-
Der of organized workers in the city
has always been greatly exaggerated.
and 1t is extremely difficult to get any
thing like a correct estimate of the
actual number but 1t Is a conservative
statement to place the number
brought into the fold in the past three
months at 10000.

Not trace of partisan animosity has
been revealed by the president
against any town or state in the
south since he entered office, and it
is safe to say that none will be.
There will be no partnership in the
visit which the president has been
making to the birthplace of the old
confederacy, and none will be shown
in the comments of any of the re-
publican newspapers on that affair.
"Though we must not agree in
politics." remarked the governor of
South Carolina, in his address Of
welcome to Col. Roosevelt, 1--WE know
how to welcome the president of our
common country" 1t has been the
misfortune of Charleston that, des-
pite its historical prominence, it has
had few visits from presidents of the
United States. This is complaint
that it will hardly be able to make
hereafter while the republicans re
main supreme, for republican execu,
tives are beginning to establish the
excellent custom of greeting their
fellow citizens in different parts of
the country at frequent intervals.
The politics of the region visited will
it is safe to say, have as little intlu-
ence in determining the time and the
frequency of the visits in the case of
the present head of the government
as it had in that of his immediate
successor.
1t is a popularity OF the republi-
can party that it works for the ad
vancement of all parts of the coun-
try, regardless altogether of their
partisan attitude. The prosperity of
which the Charleston exposition is
an evidence is fruit Of republican
policy chiefly, though neither South
Carolina nor any other state in its
locality casts an electoral vote for a
republican presidential candidate.
1t is the policy of protection to do
nestle industries which had develop
ed the iron and coal fields of Ten
nessee and Alabama, and preserves
the cane sugar industry of Louisiana,
but not one of these states gives a
vote to republican presidential stand
ard bearers, or is expected to give
any. This has been the republican
practice from the beginning, and will
remain so while the parts lasts

Fair Postponement Is Certain.

1t is practically settled that the
Louisiana Purchase exposition will
be postponed one year. Announce
ment to that effect will be made with
in the next two weeks, probably
through message to congress by
President Roosevelt, explaining the
necessity of postponement.
The chief reasons for the postpone
ment have been apparant for some
time. One is the inability of the fair
promoters to have the ground and
buildings ready in 1903, and the
other is the announcement of several
foreign countries that suitable exhi-
bitions from abroad cannot be secured
in the next twelve months. The
people of st. Louis have hesitated
about acknowledging their inability
to get the fair ready on time, but
precedent is against them. The
Chicago, Paris and Buffalo exposi
tlons demonstrated that great fair
could not be rushed to completion
with any success. The st. Louis
spirit is indomitable. The people
were ready to make the effort, but
saner judgment seems to have pre-
vailed, and postponement is now
looked upon as certain. Undoubted
ly some sort of preparation could
have been made, but the st. Louis
idea seems to recognize nothing
short of the highest ideals, and to
acknowledge that the fair is below
the standard of the Chicago and
Paris exposition will be worse than
waiting another year.
Probably the postponement will not
affect congressional legislation. 1t
is planned to continue in force the
exposition legislation that has al
ready been enacted. Doubtless sim
liar action will be taken in the states
that have put through Louisiana
Purchase legislation, and consequent
ly the project will suffer no loss.
The gains IN point of a larger and
finer general exhibition will be in
calculable, and the objection that
another twelve months postpone
ments will throw the big exposition
into the stress of campaign year is
too small to be weighed.-Denve1

They are easier and more pleasant to
