out the apparent advantages of the

View Of Laborer, Capitalist

hicdg hfdlng u
small suite ne ofsccroo1ns son the top floor
Of an apartment building on Dearborn
avenue, TJohnsMi Mitchell, president of the
United MineE|Workers' Union of Ameri-
ca, and onesof the worlds acknow-
lodged great labor leaders, is hard at
work on his new book on trades union
ism. For more than a month he has
been in the same rooms, quietly at
work with his sta % of four stenog-
raphers, writing, debating and reading
and revising proofs:
Mr.. Mitchell snubs M. D. Parry by
not mentioning his name once in his
book. The labor leader took occasion
to sap that Mr.. Parry is not a big
enough man to deserve attention or
space in the volume on trades union
ism. Neither does Mr.. Bear receive
any mention. Said he:
1.-The book will be in defense of
trades unionism, more than 400 pages
long. I have taken up the questions
that face the Industrial world, and
have dealt with them fairly, as I know
them. do not doubt that from cover
to cover it will be seen that the writer
is a trades unionist, and a man who
has the interests of the laboring man
at heart. But I will say that the ar
guments of the capitalist have been
set forth fairly, and that have been
conscientious in my efforts to meet
these arguments without prejudice. I
have also devoted great deal of at
tention and space to the interests and
influence of the public in the labor
controversy, which, as I have said in
my book, is a three sided problem that
can only be settled by compromise by
the three-labor, capital and the pub
lie.
"a careful perusal of my book will
demonstrate to any reader, I am sure,
the necessity of establishing more
amicable relations between capital and
labor than exist at present. Nothing
in this world has ever been gained
without fighting, but in all great re-
forms there has come a time when the
fighting has ceased It is for this
time in Industrial reform that I am
now praying. I have shown that in
a vast majority of cases the disputes
between labor and capital can be set
tied if the parties to dispute will
only evince a mutual desire to be re-
asonable, sensible and fair. If this
desire is shown there will be fewer
strikes and fewer demands for arbi-
tratiOn." -

THE "FULL DINNER PAIL"
From the New York American:


The supper had been scant in the
home of Thomas Fitzgerald, which is
in little rooms at 412 West Seventeenth
street. In fact for a month there has
not been much to eat there. He could
get no work. He was young man,
but there was that about the wan look
Of his wife, the pinch look of his little
daughter Margaret, who is ten years
old, that finally made coward of the
man.
At the supper table the man wept.
His wife wept with him. The child
looked and wondered. Then as her
mother sat with her head resting in her
hands, the little girl saw her father
suddenly grope in his pocket, draw out
bottle, look at it, get up and walk
into the front room.
Little children of the poor, pitably
enough, know about persons who kill
themselves because they are poor
This little girl, following her father
into the room. saw him uncork the
bottle and put it to his lips.
Silently the child went swiftly to
him. With sweep Of her thin arms she
knocked the bottle from his lips. Then
she screamed. The face and the arms
of the child were painfully burned by
the acid. The man stood staring stup-
idly, uninjured.
He was locked up in the West Twen-
tieth street station house on a charge
of attempted suicide. The child, after
being attended by DR.. Mills, surgeon
Of the New York hospital, > remained
with her mother in the dreary home.

gentlemen. I will give away the fran
