ination Of the two witnesses have been
well blished by other unions who
were on the stand and testified alona
the same line. They reveal a state of
slavery that the vast majority of peo-
pie did not dream existed in this coun-
try, and unless we misjudge human
nature the indignation that will be
aroused as a result of this investiga-
ton, as we'll as the strike and the gen.
eral plutocratic behavior Of the oper-
ators, will do more to advance the
principle Of government ownership of
mines and other monopolies than any
other cause. The American people al.
not yet cowed into abject servitude
and have not yet lost their spirit of in
dependence. They are patient lot,
but history shows that when they be-
come fairly we'll awakened they lose

CAN A BLOODY
REVOLUTION Be AVOIDED

The problems of the modern state
have grown so enormously that it is i'm
possible to solve them without an ex-
tensive division of labor and a high
grade of professional knowledge. The
capitalist manner Of production robss
the ruling class of all the leisure that
they previously had. Even, if they do
not produce but are living from the eX.
ploitation Of the producing classes, still
they are not idle exploiters. Thanks to
competition, the motive force of pres
ent economic life. the exploiters are
continuously compelled to carry on an
exhausting struggle with each other,
which threatens the vanquished with
complete humiliation.
The capitalists have therefore neither
time nor leisure, nor the previous cul-
ture necessary for artistic and scientific
activity. They lack even the neces-
sary qualifications for regular partici-
patton in governmental activities. Not
only in art and science but also in the
government of the state the ruling class
is forced to take no part. They must
leave that to wage-workers and bureau
cratic employees. The capitalist class
reigns but does not govern. It is sat-
isfied, however, to rule the government.
In the same way the decaying feudal
nobility before it satisfied itself by TAX
ing on the forms Of a royal nobility. But
while with the feudal nobility the re-
nunciation Of it's social functions was
the product Of corruption, with the
capitalists this remuneration arises d.
rectly from their social functions and
| is all essential part of their existence
With the help of such a powerful
government a class can long maintain
itself, even if it is superfluous. Yes, even
if it has become Injurious. And the
stronger the power Of the state, just
so much the more does the governing
class rest upon it, just so much more
stubbornly will it cling to it's privileges
and all the less will it be inclined to
grant concessions. The longer, how
ever, it maintains it's dominat ton in
! this manner, the sharper become class
antagonisms, the more pronounced
must be the political collapse when it
| finally does come, and the deeper the
social transformation that arises out
of it, and the more apt the conquest
of political power by an oppressed class
to lead to revolution.-Karl Kautsky.

A. short time ago the Social Reform
club Of New York offered a prize for
the best essay on the union label. The
clubs committee on organized labor
awarded the prize to John N. Bogert,
organizer of the American Federation
of Labor for the state Of New York
Following we give Mr. Bogert's essay
completes:
The union label and it's great pos
sible influence as a factor in the pend
ing solution Of social problems is a
new proposition only to that portion Of
the community not connected with
workingmen's trades organizations.
For seventeen years the union print
er, halter, ironmolder, shoemaker and
building trade workman have been
familiar with the blue label placed
upon cigars by the union cigarmakers
as token Of cleanshop surroundings
and good wages. During twelve years
these organized workers have found
hidden in their hats the fraternal mes
sages to them from the fair factory of
their brother halter. Six years of
agitation by the Typographical union
has secured recognition from other.
craftsmen Of the one safe channel
through which their money may flow
back to the pockets Of we'll paid print
ers.
The organized workers know the
value this means Of mutual assist
ance and they know that it's logical
development will commend it to the
large and growing class of consumers
outside of labor unions, who are now
taking a friendly interest in the sub
ject. They therefore aim to enlist and
hold the cooperation OF all classes IN
extending this improved line of social
reform work, and they appeal to the
general public for support on these
grounds.
That while primarily the extension
of the label makes the union strong, II
is this very strength that begets the
friendly conference between employers
and employed which averts the strikes
and preserves the peace. The history
of our strongest trades unions prove
this.
That the label is a boycott's sub
stitute. 1t puts good will in place of
savagery. Instead of tearing down the
bad mans trade, it builds up the GOOD
ones. The fair employer, asked about
his help is proud to say: my men
and are on good terms. See the label
on our work.
" That consolidati ton Of union label
interests besides giving added power
to'each affiliating union, has the ap-
prevail of public opinion, because all is
harmony there-the Label League has
no disputes; no quarrels between or
CARNATIONS under this banner, no con-
flicting grievances to waste the time
and patience of the delegates; no SYM
pathic strikes to threaten civic order.
That the label condemns tenement
and sweatshop production for the
benefit of the worker and the sanitary
world.
That the lavel never tempts "Christ-
tan civilization to assist the factory
tyrant in the soulless system which is
crushing out the young life blood of
our race. 1t would keep the child at
school, run the mill with adult labor
and enshrine the workman's home.

ST, CLOUD LABOR
WELL TO The FRONT,

Last year there were but two unions
in St. Cloud. This year there are sew
eral. The two old reliable organiza-
tions are the cigarmakers and the
granite cutters. The new organiza-
tons are the carpenters union, which
is completely organized, the bricklay-
ers, who are drawing good wages, the
painters, who are exceptionally active
and the granite polishers, who greatly
aid the granite cutters.
Among the staunch union men of St
Cloud are Jos. Boos, for many years
secretary Of the cigarmakers' union
and Morgan Flaherty, Of the granite
cutters union, and one of the most re-
liable men in the state.

CANS Is CHAMPION.
Whipped Erne In First Round at Fort
Erie.

Ring Side, Fort Erie, Ont, May 49,
Joe Cans, the Baltimore colored light
weight pugilist, is champion in his
class, after knocking at the door for
the past ten years.
Frank Erne lost to him la the first
round last night at Fort Erie. The end
came with startling suddenness. The
men were scarcely warmed up when
Cans. trying cautiously, caught Erne
mapping and landed a hard right on
the ear, which appeared to jar Erne
badly. Erne spared wildly and Cans
sent out a left jab as a feeler. It went
home through Erne's guard. drawing
blood from his nose. Then Cans rushed
in. Erne's defense was pitiably weak
and Cans slapped his left to the face
and right to the point Of Erne's jaw.
The blow completely settled Erne. He
sank slowly to the floor, fell on his
back and was rolling over on his
stomach when Referee White finished
counting him out. The quick defeat
astounded the hundreds of Erne men
at the ring side.
