TOO MUCH. EASTERN LABOR.

The statements, given out from time
that this year will be the leader in
tourist business, and the fact that
California under the colonist rates pre-
vailing last month, are causes for alarm
in labor circles, says the Los Angeles
Labor News. While business condi-
tons here are good and there has been
employment for the greater part of the
labOring class in the city, the past
few months, conditions do not warrant
such an importing of working people
from the east. The pressure is being
felt already in labor circles and unless
the railroads are too hopeful there is
sure to be a surplus of labor in the
market this winter that will work to
the disadvantage of the working class
in general. For with only ordinary
wages and with prosperity prices for
all the necessities and comforts of life,
those who are already here have no
reason to feel elated over conditions
Most of those who come from the east
are accustomed to good wages and the
state of affairs here will cause disap-
pointment and perhaps hardship among
the newcomers. There is always room
and warm welcome for people of
means, who come to the city looking for
health, recreation or mild climate, but
no encouragement should be given
working men Of limited means until
their services are needed. :
Since it is the railroads who are en-
couraging emigration to this country,
and at the same time running opportu-
mites for white labor by the import
alton Of cholos, and since the railroads
are abetted by Otis and his cheap la
Dor" employment bureau, it remains for
the working people of Los Angeles to
warn their brethren in the east of ex-
listing conditions. The good and well
fare of both demand 1t.

when saw him last in Paris" said
a New Yorker who has just returned
from Europe, "he was the daintiest

a day. He had the most poetic blond
locks and q complexion that was a.

the shades of white and pink.
HE is so proud of his beuaty that
scarcely a year passes without pro-

noted painter. After Whistler had put
him on canvas along with the famous
cane that did such effective work at

by Boldini and Gandara and the pic

COMBINATION is THE
RULE OF THE FUTURE

Combination in the ranks Of labor is
going to be the rule in the future, and
employers can not overcome or de-
stroy it by simply shutting their eyes.
1t demands recognition, and will
have it.
Combination is one, and the chief
OF the methods by which labor will
place itself upon more nearly equal
ground with capital. Capital has no
rights save those it has acquired and
labor no rights save those fought for
and won.
Thus far capital has kept far ahead
in the race. 1t long ago learned the
value and need of combination: but la
Dor, through union, Is gaining on it.
It demands the right of something more
than a bare subsistence, which, it ap-
pears. is all that monopolist and pro-
tectionist newspapers are willing to
accord it, and it will learn how to en-
force It's demands.
1t will be worse than folly for great
corporations to seek to crush out or
ganized efforts in behalf Of the rights
of labor by ignoring them.
1t is better to treat brotherhoods of
employees contemptuously, to ignore and
offend them, possibly provoke them to
unreasonable courses, or to receive
their deserts, as reasonable beings with
whom conferences can be held argu-
ments mutually satisfactory and bene-
fetal can be reached?
Shall the obligation of the reasona-
bleness be enforced upon the members
and directors of those brotherhoods by
treating them fairly and courteously.
or shall they be gruffly repealed and
driven by sour disappointment to take
up arms under the banner of consci-
eceless demagogues New York Times

THE U0WER OF THE LABEL.

It is well known fact that in nearly
every state and nearly every nation
there are very strong laws against boy
cotting. So much so that we have
coined new phrases to tell the people
about our unfair list" and 1--WE don't
PATRONAGE etc. After all is said and
done, it appears to US, that every time
we levy boycott against a firm we
are exhibiting to the world the one
weakness rather. than the one power
of organized labor. Seriously now
it we carried out to the full our trade
union policy on the label question
would there be any need of boycotting
II we insisted in season and out, on
having union made goods-union label
goods, and further insisted that those
goods be supplied at stores that had
only union clerks, that they were de.
livered by union drivers only, ETC., and
so on does any sane person imagine for
one moment that we should have to
publish a column or two of a I'VE don't
patronize"' list?
OF course not. The label was in
vented in order that we might use it's
tremendous power, unionize every shop
A~oSSAS NAAo oSol e. az "Cll 1o OI1C1 UuSl-
ness. This label question is the most
important because it has the most pow
er, it is the gigantic power, if only used
unitedly, that will bring out an univer-
sal labor organization.
Do we want to unite all the workers
under the banner of organized labor
The label will do it.
Do we want to secure short hours
and high wages? The label will do it.
Do we want to put an end to govern
ment by injunction? The label will
do it.
Do we want to control the trusts in
stead of their controlling us? The label
will do it.
Do we want to make the labor move
ment the greatest power in the world ?
The label will do it.
The label will not bring complete
emancipation, but it will build up the
labor movement to position Where 1T
can emancipate itself, for rightly used
it means that all employers would be
forced to deal fairly wits us or they
would be forced out of business.
That is what the label is for. Are
you abusing it?-Shoe Makers Jour-
nal.

day the movement numbers over 1O0,-

REVIVAL OF OLD GAMES.
BY the ChaperOn.

Perhaps the usual wet weather has
something to do with it, but people who
are tired of bridge are cultivating the
old games. Ecarte is being almost
universally played. There have, I hear,
club, and one always sees that it is
quite the fad at Tuxedo. Dominoes
have come into fashion at Meadow
brook, and one hears Of house parties
on the Hudson being devoted to chess
and checkers. Dominoes, however, are
leading. The reason Of this is because
you can put small stakes on the game,
and it is impossible to get up any in
terest in indoor or outdoor sports if yor
do not have n little sum to gain or tt
lose.
In the meantime Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
has been introducing blind mans buff
and ring-a-round- a-rosy, and at the
Hot Springs of Virginia croquet is
played morning, noon and night.
would not in the least be surprised
to see MRS. Nicely Vanderbilt and Mrs.
Charlie Marshall-who is now abroad,
but who will be back shortly-rolling
hoops in Central Park or in one of the
squares and to hear Of Harry Lehr
spinning tops or flying kites.
In fact the word has come from Eng
land, and we are all obeying it as fast
as possible. Children are the fashion
and we must all become juvenile. Doll
houses and dolls are being brought to
light, and the broken playthigs of the
nursery are being mended.
Seriously speaking, many of the inno-
~
the homely sports have been brought
into requisition. Each little episode is
the subject Of pretty joke. At Nor
ristown last week at the Scribner lunch
con little coal scuttles with chocolate
ice cream in the shape of Goals were Of
fered to the guests.
Do you know there must be something
in the old song which asks SO plaintive-
ly that the singer be made child again
only for that night or for a night, I
forget which. You remember it. I
think it begins with 'Time" being re-
quested to turn back in its fight.
Even in England they are doing the
thing quite seriously. have heard
from many people who came over this
last week that the turning over Of the
motor car and the landing of some of
the suite Of the Duchess of Connaught
in the soft bog at Mrs. Adair's was
regarded as a great joke and that the
royalties laughed heartily over it. You
remember that the mother Of the pres
ent Duke of Marlborough was quite
noted for playing practical jokes of all
kinds, and that this always has had
quite vogue in England.

THE |NFLEXlBLELAW

Every once in a while the law runs
up against case in which, the facts

When such a case occurs woe betide the
Individual whose interests are con-

A striking example of what is liable
to happen when the 'Inflexible law

considerable servise around Chtcka-
manga during the late war.
At an early stage of the hostflities
Mooney was stricken with typhoid fe-
Yer and was removed to one of Sur

show at least. He insists, however.
that the record is mistaken.
At any rate he came to regimental

IRGLADD'S HOPE

Ireland May He Enabled to Own
Land and Become Their Own
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Will Com

The next step toward the millen-

Peace in Ireland!
1t has been the troubled dream of
centuries past, and, if brought about,
must be the wonder of centuries to
come.
At last sane. business-like attempt
is to be made to that end.
A plan is before the British parlia-
ment whereby the poorest tenants of
Ireland may be enabled to own land
and become their own masters.
This plan is in the form of a compul-
sorry act, by which the landlords, whose
rule has been the bane Of the island for
centuries, will be bought out by the
tenants.
Leaders of the Irish Nationalist see

of $500,O00,0OO as the purchase price

borrow the money at PA per cent, as
needed. paying yearly installrnents to
the landlords, and the tenants paying
the money. in, lieu Of rents, back to

est to insure it against loss. In eighteen
or twenty years the transfer would be
complete, and the people Of Ireland
would be changed from serfs to free
holders.
1t is a plan that beats all the armed
revolutions ever proposed.

rights above established custom, uer-
manent peace above expediency

posed action.
been in operation, though on small
scale. eYt 10000 tenants have bought
land by this process, using $100,000,000
of government money.
But 410,00 tenants remain.
This reform, if accomplished, will no
doubt prove to be father to many otl1e:
lony- prayed-for reforms in Ireland.
The s7,500,000 a year now expended
in a constabulary to keep the tenants
in subsection will be the first burden
removed.
The home rule question will become
simplifed, for, the interests Of the
landlords being disposed of, they will
the popular will.
Whether the Irish people will be able
to retain the lands put into their pos
session is a question.
But there is no question that, in the
name of justice. liberty and progress,
they should be given a fighting chance.
