CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
TUESDAY, AUGUST &c, 1902.
LABOR DAY.

Labor Day is the great day for la
boris celebration. The working peo-
pie usually exhibit themselves in such
numbers as to give an idea of their
strength and power. A strength
and power that they woefully lack in
exercising to their own full interest
and benefit. Being the controlling
force, if they exercise it, they are
through their divisions and non
unity in essential matters, mega
tive power, used, not for their own
benefit, but for the benefit of those
few who divert them from their own
best interest.
When the laboring people will not
only show their strength on labor
day but also on election day to a
common aim and end, then, and not
until then, will they be cognizant of
the strength and power vested within
them.
AS it is now the laborer celebrates
Labor Day and the capitalist has his
celebration on election DAY. Let labor
combine and see that IL will here
after celebrate both days.-Labor

The Doodle politicians and manip-
ulators of the machine in Montana
are so busy watching one another that
no move has yet been made to call
conventions. The Socialists have
boldly stepped out from cover, how
ever, and after the Livingston conven-
ton it is probable that the laborites
of the whole state will call conven'
tions and have their tickets nominat'
ed while the big three are sparring
for points.

would stop their nOn-union plumber
from working on the building. We
were waited upon by several com
mittees from the union asking us
to discharge our man. and put in
union men.
We will also state that we were
told that since the organization of
the Business Mems Association some
of it's members had their employees 'oin
the different unions through fear of
being boycotted.
Now, we consider that several of
the members of the Business Mems
Association have violated their
pledge to the association and cater
ed to the unions. And some more of
them are on the fence and ready to
fall on which ever side the biggest
dollars show upon, regardless of their
promises to the association. Not one
week ago one of the prominent Off
Gals of the city used our goods but
would not allow our plumber to put
them in place, because he did not be-
long to the union. Even our poll
ticians are already trying to buy up
the union vote for the coming cleo
ton.
Looking the situation over, we
think the business men have done
nothing to try to hold it's members
together, and very little has been
done to help the members that have
been boycoted.
We have been asked by union men
several times why we were bucking
the union and we will reply that We
consider that the union is bucking us,
and we are not bucking them. We
are going along trying to run our bus
mess as we have always done.
In speaking to some. of the prom
inent members of the Business Mems
Association about calling meetings,
they simply refused to talk about
the matter Now, under these cir
cumstances, and considering the way
the majority of the business men
have acted, and several of them VIC
lated their pledge to the association,
we consider that we are under no
obligation after this date to the asso-
citation. Would like to hear from
some of the good members of the as
ISOLATION.

THE GoMPERs POLICY.
Communicated.

Editor Bee: Dear Sir:-The senti-
ments expressed by Samuel Gompers,
by way of advice to unions affiliated
with the Federation of which he is
the head, has an Anticipated sound to
this writer, and l believe to major
ity of union men, who have been and
are now identified with the labor
movement in this western country. z
To one who has had experience
and watched such matters closely for
the past ten or fifteen years it is easy
to read between the lines, in such
letters of advice.
When Sam Gomper,s and others,
give such advice they do not mean
what they say but rather let us keep
the rank and file from discussing their
interests when assembled together,
but let us few labor leaders get in
to politics up to our necks, if possible,
and use the pull thus obtained to
further the interest of will not say
whose or what interest, but simply
ask any who may read this to examine
the record of such policy in this
state for the past ten or twelve years
and answer according to facts which
will convince any fair minded person
that president Gompers & Co." mean
just what I read between the lines
and nothing else.
The policy advised by him regarding
union men joining militia compan-
les which in unions affiliated with
his federation is more than advice,
being portion of their constitution,
an example existing in this city, where
the constitution distinctly declares
that members of militia companies are
| ineligible to become members of that
union.
I mention this, not to criticize this
policy, for it must be admitted that
the purposes for which the militia or.
CARNATIONS have been used in the
past, nearly always in the defense OF
the real enemies of the people and
against the citizen, laboring men es-
pecially, cannot be expected to swell
with patriotic pride when a militia
&ompany marches past.
I simply mention this fact in order
to compare his policy of stay-out OF
and do not admit any member of a
militia company into your union.
And then look at the opposite pol
icy of the American Labor Union
and decide between them which pol
icy is most liable to create dissention
and discord.
The superstition which existed In
all unions, and was fostered and en-
couraged by certain labor leaders,
that the political aspect of life should
not be mentioned above whisper
in the meetings, not even at the pc
Rod when the "Good of the Order
was under discussion, I am glad tc
think is becoming a thing of the
past, and the whisper of the "labol
leader" with the pull will no Longer
buzz in the ears of the few dupes
4 but he will have to come in openly
and say his say without the pull.

THE NEW PARTY.

1t is believed by various labor
leaders of the state that at the forth
coming state council of trades and
labor delegates at Livingston, that
council will wisely conclude to en-
dorse the Socialist state tickle, and
recommend to all labor men in the
counties of the state to hold con-
ventions and nominate union men
thereon from top to bottom, regardless
Of the pledges, promises or endorse
ment of the democratic party, the
republican party or any old party.
Consider now if that will neces-
sarily result in throwing away votes,
even in Flathead county. The various
labor unions in the county comprise
a membership of at least 1000. Per
haps the roll includes twenty-five wo-
men and maybe as many men who are
not qualified voters. A phalanx of $50
votes is not to be despised by either
of the old parties and II the labor
ing men do but heed the admonition
of the Denver convention and of the
Livingston convention and fully
embrace the Socialist platform they
can come pretty nearly electing
every, man on the ticket without the
help of any other partisans.
Much wire-pulling is being INDUCED
in to overcome the work of the Den
yer convention: bell men for the
old parties have arisen among the
11nioO mon and ORC apJaov nriDo vs. n
might and main to encourage and
demonstrate the advantages to be
derived from fusion. The thinking
labor man cannot be thus deluded,
however, and takes no more stock in
the method of the fusionist than he
hands of both of which he has been
trampled under foot.
1t is believed that the majority of
delegates to the Livingston conven
ton understand the class difference
that should separate decisively the
politics of the working people and
the employers in this and every other
state The Amalgamated Copper
company, w. A. Clark and F. Aug
ust Heinze are in the political bust
ness for the benefit of themselves. o.
these three nominal factions the
working people should steer clear
That which would benefit Clark, ct. al
would certainly not be profitable tt
the laboring man. AS these hi.
three dominate the old parties, the la
boring men are put to the necessity o
organizing themselves and for them
selves, and the way out is plainl,
stated by the Denver convention.
Returning again to county poll
tics, the ranks of union labor com
prehend some of the best and mos
intelligent men of Montana, capabl
of filling satisfactorily and credite
BIZ any and every Office within tn
gift of the people. A proposition t
consider well is whether those 95
voters cannot sweep the county? TIL
republicans think they can. the den
ocrats think they may What do tn
union labor people think?
At this writing it is safe to sa
that uneasy lies the head that seek
political preferment in Flathead coul
ty, be he numbered with the in
or the outs, republican or democra
Time alone will tell whether tn
people of the labor party of tn

He WAS SANDBAGGED.
j. Cole Robbed Within Half a
Block of Police Station.

]. Cole, who is employed at the Hap
good livery stable at 514 jackson street,
was held up, sandbagged and robbed
last night in the alley just back of the
barn and within half a block Of police
headquarters The two bold robbers
who made the assault evidently knew
Cole and knew that he carried money,
as they secured more than 500 from
him.
The robbery occurred about $780, Cole
had gone up on Kansas avenue TO a
restaurant, where he ate a lunch and
was returning to the barn through the
alley. He entered the alley on Sixth
avenue between Kansas avenue and
in dark place in the rear of Peterson's
barn, two doors from the place where he
is employed when the two robbers
jumped upon him, without saying a
word, and began to hit him with some
heavy weapon. Before he could utter
a cry he was knocked insensible. He
don't know how long he was in this con-
dition, and when he partially recovered,
staggered into the barn and began to
tell his story to his assistant.
What has become of your watch?"
exclaimed his partner. His watch and
chain had disappeared. He began a
search of his pockets and discovered
further that he was also short all the
money he had on his person when he
was assaulted. over 500. The robbers
cleaning $50 Of his own money and
about $50 belonging to the proprietor
of the barn. He went at once to the
police station and gave the alarm, but
owing to the darkness of the spot Sc
lected by the robbers, he was unable
to give much of description of them.
His arms and face were bruised and his
neck showed unmistakable signs of a
vigorous attempt at strangulation.
This is the only successful hold up,
from a financial standpoint, which has
occurred in Topeka for some time. The
victim usually escapes with bad fright
and all his money. The nerve of the
men in holding the man up so near his
place of business and within call of
the police station would indicate that
they were not novices at the business
and were confident of their ability to
fix" the victim before he could make
an cutlery The circumstances would
also indicate that the robbers are par
ties who know Cole and his habit of
carrying money.

THE APPROACHING ELECTION.

GFrom the Washington Post.l
So apathetic has been the country re-
garding the present campaign that it is
impossible, even with theselection less
than six weeks distant, to predict the
outcome upon the basis of definite
knowledge. The claims of the profess
sional politicians are not worthy of
serious consideration. The Republican
managers are positive that the election
will result in a Republican victory.
while the Democratic leaders are equal
~ certain that success will perch upon
their banners. AS a matter of fact,
neither side knows anything about it.
Each is working in the dark Each is
sowing seed in the shape of spoken word
and printed sentence, but, like the far

ago the Tennessee company declined to
withhold the assessment money from
certain miners at West Pratt who OBJ
jected to it's payment and 500 men at
