THE LABOR PRESS.

Now here is rhyme for the Labor
Press
That blazes the toilsome way.
And shoulders the load Ger the rocky
And gets more knocks than pay:
For you grudgingly give to your truest
friend,
Who bears the brunt of the fight;
What you freely bestow on your dead
The organ of wealth and might.
You have dollars to help the pluto
Gratis press,
And pennies to give to your own;
And a kiss of delight for the hand that
would smite,
While you hurl at your friend a
stone;
Yet the Labor Press in the battles van
Ever welcome the fiercest fight.
And dauntless heart for the riaht.
Yes, here is song for the Labor
Press,
Whose heroes may never know
Their need of fame. or the worlds
acclaim,
AS they battle our common foe:
But whose hearts, as ever did heroes
hearts,
Since this queer old world began.
Ask nought for pay but the dawning
day
Of the Brotherhood of Man.

eight hours per day; likewise eighty
men working ten hours per day per-
form 500 hours Of labor. Therefore
the eight-hour day would give employ

employed. The eight hour workdav
would likewise decrease the competi-

PIRATES RAID A MANSION
STEAL 81, ZOO WORTH OF SILVER AND
ESCAPE IN YACHT.
Bold Robbery of the Summer Home of
j. A. Morris at ThrOgE's Neck
Fight with Saretakers.

NEW YORK. March 15.-River pirates
raided the handsome residence OF John A.
Morros at Throgg's Neck, on Long Island
sound, and after running fight with two
caretakers escaped in yacht with more
than $1,000 worth of silver plate
The Morris mansion adjoins the country
estate of Coils r. Huntington, and is
guarded during the winter season by two
caretakers. They were asleep when the rob-
bers raised a ladder to the second story,
broke a window and entered, and creeping
into the sleepiSg room covered the care
taker with pistols. The men were bound,
but succeeded in loosening the cords. They
secured revolvers and the robbers, who
were at work down stairs, fled with the
caretal1ers in pursuit Many ineffective
shots were exchanged. a dory was anchored
to the beach, and into this the pirates threw
a heavy bag filled with the silverware,
leaped after il, and while one manned the
oars his companion kept up a steady fire
with his pistol. The caretakers answered
shot for shot. a short distance from the
beach yacht was waiting and the pirates
apparently reached this in safety. The care
takers saw several men on the yacht make
sail hurriedly and the boat swung into the
wind and raced off down the sound. Re
turning 10 the house the caretakers picked
up on the way more than $500 worth of sill
verware which the pirates had dropped in
their flight.
