Serious Mistake Was Made by
Striking Chicago Freight andler

Every union man is and ought to be
in sympathy with any class os workers
striving for better wages and condi-
lions, but they may not all agree
on the methods pursued to attain that
end While it may be unnecessary to
waste sympathy on employers as
class, as they are generally capable
OF looking out for themselves, union
men as Wen as others must
admit that employers have certain
rights which ought to be respected.
They at least should be asked by
their employees for an increase in
wages. if the employees want such an
increase, and if taey refuse and it be
comes necessary to strike. then the
employee is not to blame. In the case
of the Chicago eigh.-handlers, a
wage schedule was prepared by the
officials of the union That it was a
fair and just schedule may be admit

glad to give them both an engagement.
The little girl soon became a gen

quick to learn and good singer, but
she went out of her way to do kind
things for other stage people who got

Mr. Engel was especially attracted
by the child-she was not yet IS

he could OF her past life. with the idea

that the girl came from Milwaukee.

In the course OF two months the
pretty young girl had been promoted

sleeping beauty, and 1t was her duty
to lie apparently asleep in soft, white

awakened by the coming of the prince.

For Equal Justice
Great Point the Labor Unions
Are Contendina for 7

The great point that labor unions
are contending for to-day is that the
terms of employment should not be
left entirely in the hands of the
employer. but that the employee should
have a right to be heard. The unions
to-day say to the employer: Meet
with our representative in confer
ence; recognize the principle of col
lective bargaining; make an agree
ment mutually satisfactory, il posi-
BILE; if not. arbitrate the question,
Some employers refuse and take the
position that as they pay the bill they
alone are the judges of what mans
labor IS worth. Such employers are
roundly denounced for being arbitra-
~. still they are not one whit more
arbitrary than the union that draws
UP wage scale, presents it to an en-
ployer, and says: Sign that or we
won't work for you" The principle
is wrong whichever side it comes
from. and it may just as well be rec

a star, This was the plan finally
agreed upon:
In her scene with the prince the
fairy princess came on the stage all
alone and lay down to sleep on the
couch in the center. Then. while her
eyes were shut, the prince came on
and Weakened her by singing. She
aroused herself, and, making out the
prince standing by the far side or
her couch, few into his wide opened
arms.
The actor who played the prince was
called into the conference. and among
the three men a plot was carefully ar
ranged. 1t was agreed that the man
from Milwaukee should be smuggled
down into the dressing room of the
real prince, who was 10 play his own
part right through the play until it
came to the scene with the princess.
At that point the man from Milwau-
kee was to put on the gorgeous robes
Of the prince and go on TO the stage
after the princess had gone to sleep on
the couch. The actor who played the
prince agreed to help out the lover in
his impromptu role by standing in the
wings and singing the tenor solo by
the sound Of which the princess was
awakened. Then, when the princess
awoke and sat up to greet her prince.
she would see for the first time the
face of her faithful lover from Mil

to rush into his open arms. That sort
of thing, it was figured, would certain

The scheme was carried out and it
worked perfectly. The girls mother
sat in a box, where she could see
without being seen. The lover from
Milwaukee slipped down into the
princes dressing room without being
seen or recognized. The house was
crowded. Finally it came time for
the awakening of the sleeping beauty.
The pretty little princess went on
and lay down on the gorgeous couch.
Her eyes were closed and her regular
breathing closely initiated the evil
dences of sleep. On then came the
/ bogus prince-the man from MiIwau-
kee. So far as looks go Mr.. Engel
declares that he had the regular
