SCHWAB'S LAND PIRACY.

According to the testimony of Presi-
dent Charles Schwab, of the great
steel trust, the net earnings Of that
corporation are $14O,OOO, 900 a year. The
widest figures any newspaper writer
has ever written only credits the Uni
ted States Steel Corp on;5With en-
ploying a hundred thousand men. One
hundred thousand men at an average
wage Of $3.50 per day (and this is much
higher than the average) and working
300 days a year (Which is more than
they do Work) would make the pay roll
of the great corporation just $75, 5,O00,O 900
per year. This is really almost twice
as much as it is but the figure is al
lowed just to be LIBERAL A hundred
thousand men, wearing their lives out
before a furnace, in constant jeopardy
of life and limb, receive $75,000,000 a
year. One hundred men, seated in
comfortable parlors in New York city,
Son the deck of a private yacht Or an
ocean going steamer, or enjoying
themselves at Bar Harbor or some
other resort, receive $140000,000 for

TRUST SMASHING A FAILURE.

Dispatches from Washington say
that the threatened proceedings against
the beef and anthrac cite coal combines
will probably amount to little. The
beef barons claim the right to fix the
price of their products, and owing to
alterations made in the bill in At
torney General Knox's office the hog
trust will experience no great diff
Guilty in having the injunction dis
solved" The people who are being
forced to pay higher prices for meat
products are becoming accustomed to
the new conditions, and so the combine
can go ahead with it's schemes of
mulcting the public out of money to
be used in launching a big trust. In
the matter of the coal combine it is
declared that the government cannot
prove that a trust exists. 1t can only
be: "surmised" that the organized cap
italists are skinning the public. So all
the antitrust agitation emanating
from Washington was, as we predicted,
merely gallery play on the part. Of
Roosevelt and his politicians and can
be safely regarded as a closed incident.
The only way the people can gain
relief from the trusts is to take control
of and operate them. Workingmen
should give this matter thorough con-
sideration.

WHAT THE CENSUS REVEALS.

The census reports disclose the fact
that there are 1900 shoe factories in
this country-4S2 less than 10 years ago.
This remarks the Brockton. Mass,
Enterprise, 'is a decrease of 23.2 per
cent, which may be said to indicate a
leaning toward the tendency of the
times-combination and larger con-
cerns." To which the Brockton Times
adds: ''The statistics show that the
number of workmen engaged in this
industry, has increased 7 per cent, while
the amount Of their earnings has de-
creased 3 per cent To these two Of
ficial statements add the further fact
that the product per man increased
fully Is per cent. From these figures,
the following four propositions are de-
ducible: First, fewer firms engaged
in business; second, a greater number
of men Employed; third, a decrease in
earnings; fourth, an increase in the
productive capacity of each man.
These four propositions are true of all
the Industries of the land, and it will
take a greater poitiea ls contortionist

figure out just where the prosperity

Dear Sir:-There are two reasons
why we are sending this letter to you.
First, because we want your members
to know that the hats and caps we
manufacture and sell, are union made
goods; and that we have the reputa-
tion Of paying the highest wages of any
similar factory in Chicago, while CIV
ing as good qualities for the money as
any like house in America The sec

are no better goods made at the prices,
than those we make and SELL We
buy the very best materials, and only
standard grades are used. The best
skilled Workmen are employed, (no
cheap or sweat shop labor will ever
be tolerated in our factories) and great
care is taken in the finishing and in
specting of our goods; so that when
they are ready for the market, they
are perfect.
We believe such hats and caps we'll

NEW Y0Rk's SUBMERGED

The women Of New York have been
moved to deep indignation by the re7s
cent revelations Of the horror Of the
child labor system in the South and in
New jersey, yet they remain ignorant
Of thes fact that in this city are in
stances quite as bad, 4, said Robert
Hunter, head worker Of the University
Settlement to a Tribune reporter.
These conditions have led the. Neigh
borhood Workers, an organization just
formed of all the settlement workers in
the city, to make child labor in New
York the first object of its effort. A
committee has been appointed of which
am chairman, to work for this object.
Cases of child labor going on in the
tenement house district are constantly
coming under the observation of set
tlement workers. Here is recent
case: Two little girls, nine and eleven
years Of age, frail, stunted, ragged
little creatures, 3. were q found to be"
breadWinners. They spent the morning
in school and at noon climbed three
flights of stair to q dark back room,
where a luncheon Of bread and weak
coffee awaits them prepared by their
mother, pants finisher, who by rare
ly dropping her needle during her wax
ing hours makes on an average Of So
cents day. After swallowing their
food they would hurry away to a, base
ment shop, dingy and unventilated
where they make paper bags till II
o'clock at night, pasting hour after
hour without intermission. At that
hour Of the night they went home to
another meal Of bread and coffee,
which, poor as it was, they often could
not eat from sheer weakness, falling
asleep with crusts but half gnawed.
These two children made each from rs
cents to $1.25 week. For such a pit
eously small sum they were, to use the
words of the person who investigated
the case, being working almost to
DEATH. But this is a common fate
among the tenement house sdWellers.
They have to work to the very edge of
death in order to keep this side of it,

The Adopted Son Of G. p. Huntington
From the New York Evening Tele-

Archer Milton Huntington, son Of
Mrs Arabella D. Huntington and
adopted son of the late Coils P. Hunt
ington, who was operated on for ap-
pendicitis by DR.. Vt. Bull at his
home, "Pleasanee,'' Bay Chester, is
reported to be well on the road to re-
covery.
Mr.. Huntington is the author Of
number of books on Spain and Spanish
literature and is the possessor of a
library that is said to be unequaled in
private collections. Every. year he
makes a trip to Spain and rides mule
into the mountain regions, where, at the
old monasteries and castles he unearths
volumes of priceless value to the col
lector.
Mr.. Huntington was born in New
York March 10. 1870. He was educated
by private tutors here and in Spain
and subsequently received the honorary
degree of "A. M. from Yale. He was

Holgate has been a resident of Duluth
for Is years. In 1887 he sold out a
large and profitable manufacturing
business in the, east to come and make
Duluth his home, investing much
money here; and has always been a
public spirited citizen, ever mindful of,
and taking great interest and pride in
the. upbuilding of Duluth. His repu-
the people of st. Louis county have
confidence that if he is nominated and
elected. to the office of County Treas
urer, the business of that office will be
conducted with faithfulness, integrity
and ability. AS a party man, Mr.. .Hol-
gate has always been active in promot-
ing the interest of the Republican
party both national, state. county and
municipal. His faithfulness to the
party has not been prompted by any
thought of office, having never before
been candidate for anything. It is
such. faithfulness that the party should
consider, when men of known ability
are candidates for office His nomina-

the best interest of the party and the

INJUNCTION FARCE HAS NO
LIMj u.

Several local judges got together last
week and fired an injunction at the
city council to restrain that body from
5legislatins on the franchise question:
After studying over the righteousness
of the situation they dissolved their
injunction and graciouslyI informed the
public that the council would be al
lowed to enact laws Quite likely the
order of the court was merely a feeler,
to learn how the people would regard
the act and after this we may prob
ably hear of more of such moves. If
they can enjoin the city council,
even temporarily, the courts can like
wise block a legislature or even
congress. Government by injunction
is no dream. II.
