tice law of the colony. which bars
father from teaching his own son trade
1t is frequently the case that man seeks
to perpetuate a business which he has de-
veloped after long years of patient strug-
gle In this ambition he looks to a son,
rapidly growing into manhood and willing
to take up the struggle where the parent
leaves it. 1t is but natural that he should
give this business to the son, but the Ia
Dor law of Australia DEGREES that the
father must not teach his son what he
has learned himself, but must apprentice
him out to some one else.
OFFICIALS ARE ovERPAID.
"There is also too much salary dis
pensed in Australia to its officials. States
men receive a certain amount for repre-
senting the districts which send them to
the legislative halls and they are paid an
extra fee for services as members of spe-
cial committees. AS a result certain men
are forever struggling to get these partic-
ular places. Their interests in affairs Of
their constituents diminish before their
avarice 1 believe that a man who is
willing to represent his people in the fur
therance of legislation that is of common
benefit should do so without a stipend. I
think a man who is honestly interested in
the welfare of mis- own people will do so
without asking pay
Lord Lonsdale added that he thought
that the paying of salaries to legislators
had a tendency to make them dishonest,
and when it was suggested to him that
American statesmen, that is, Senators and
Congressman, receive regular salary, he
quickly replied with smile on his face:
'I know, 1 know. But 1 am not quite
sure that this custom is at all times in
the best interest of the States. How
ever, it is not fair to compare your States
with those of the colonies, for they are
not on the same footing"
COLoNISTS ARE LOYAL.
Regarding his reported statement that
some day the colony would draw away
from the mother country, Lord Lonsdale
emphatically denied that he had ever
made any such prediction and he added:
II Travelled all over the colony and
spoke to all classes of her people, but
never did I hear the slightest intimation
of any such move and 1 have never
thought of it. On the contrary the people
to me seemed to be deeply concerned in
the affairs Of the mother country and de-
lighted in hearing anything new, a fact
that would suggest that they are not de-
Hberating over plans for separation"
Lord Lonsdale stated that he had rea-
son to believe that the new federation in
the colonies would prove a success. Asked
for an expression of opinion regarding
the report of the possible succession of
Lord Miner to the position of Colonial
Secretary, he said his only information
came through the press dispatches, but
he doubted If Lord Miner would accept,
although he would be splendid man for
the place.

CIGARMAKERS' UNION

A vote is being taken by the men,
bers of the Cigarmakers' International
Union throughout the United States
and Canada on an amendment to the
international constitution that will
permit any union or all of them to
join in sympathetic strikes.
The stogie and Cigarmakers' union
Of America has been chartered at
Charlestown, w. Va, with capital Of
$4,000. The objects of the new associ-
alton are to organize these crafts into
such organizations as will be expedient
for their welfare and mutual benefit.
A movement that it is expected will
result in improving the conditions Of
organized cigarmakers throughout the
country has been started by the Cigar
makers International union. The
plan is to more thoroughly organize
the craft in the poorly paid districts of
Pennsylvania and Ohio, and, by raising
the scale of wages in those sections,
directly benefit all organized cigar
makers

NARROWED ON THE
TOP OF A BUILDING

ALLEGHENY, Pa, Dec. 2.-While
trying to be friend in need wink"
Nipple, a prominent citizen, was put in
plight this morning, from which he
had to be rescued by firemen.
Mr.. Nipple was walking leisurely
along Mcclure avenue. In the street
several boys were playing football.
when one of them suddenly gave the
ball a terrific kick with the result that
it landed on top Of a four-story build
ing. The boys seemed dismayed over
their loss and were apparently unable
to devise a plan to get the ball down.
wink. surveyed the conference from
across the street and thought Of the
days when he was young The plight
Of the boys touched him and he VOL
unteered to get the ball. He went to a
painter. working near by and secured
the loan Of a ladder.o Assisted by the
boys he carried the ladder to the build
ing and placed it In position. He then
assembled to the roof and shouted to the
boys below that he saw the coveted
ball.
Nipple went after the ball, but when
he returned he was nonplussed. Instead
of finding the ladder in position and a
crowd Of joyous boys to welcome him
there was not boy in sight and the
ladder had been carried back to the
painter. Nipple called for assistance.
None came. People passed on the street
below by the hundreds, but were un-
able to hear his shouts. The chill De-
cember wind whistled merrily>, around
the gables. Wink was becoming
stiff with: cold and ran up *and down
the roof to- keep warm. III: r.
Finally his shouts attracted the, at
tention of a passerby, who notified the
lremen. a ladder was placed against
the. house and the. unfortunate, man
was brought to the ground, taken to
a drug store and tina wed out. Hethinks
he was the victim of q conspiracy. > 6.

ASS KNOWS MASTERS CRIB.
Church Declares Against Labor Un-
ions, Boyeotts and Certain
Kinds Of, Strikes.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. 3.-The
general conference of the Wesleyan
Methodist Church of America in session
at Grand Rapids, Mich, declared
against labor unions because they are
secret societies" They also declared
themselves against boycotts and VIOLA
ton of contracts. After assuming this
stand in opposition to the working class
these preachers will wonder why work
ingmen do not come to church.
If the plutocrats respond in the proper
spirit it is very likely these sky pilots
will feel more than compensated for
the absence of the working class by the
jingling Of plutocratic dollars in the
contribution box.

l. Child Helper liz Used. New Jersey
and Illinois Both Equally Sinful In
Employment Of Child Labor. System
Makes Degenratea Out of the Little
Old Men 1t Produces.

Newark, New Jersey Dec. 3.-The
glass blowers of New Jersey have noti-.
fled Governor Murphy that they pro-
pose to contest the new child labor
law of last winter, and the reason Civ
en- by them is that they cannot run
their factories at a profit without US
ing the boy helpers. The truth is that
if helpless little boys were not con-
demned to this work by ignorant or
brutal parents some other class of Ia
Dor would be found to fill the void.
It may be said at once that it would
be better to close all the glass factories
in the country tomorrow than produce
any more Of the horrible wrecks for
which they are now responsible.
While New Jersey is the greatest
sinner among the states in this matter
of child labor, Illinois is not far be-
| hind, and the authentic reports as to
the boys in the Illinois glass factories
! make reading which can scarcely be
eqauled for horror.
Depriving a little boy of his sleep
for years and stopping his natural
growth through long hours of night la
bor-and this for a pittance-produce
a class Of little old men at twenty who
are simply not human. They are not
| immoral, but nonmoral. They are worse
than degenerates.. They are "reverts,"
degraded, animal and half imbecite.
Their physical and mental destruction
is the revenge of Dame Nature for the
| violation of the sweetest of her laws
| the growth and development Of youth.
| The employment of children in New
Jersey factories is the greatest blot
| upon the fame Of that state, but the
| states efforts to abolish it have been
| most 1audable.
| Now that the people have taken the
trouble to pass the new law, nothing
should be allowed to interfere with the
strict enforcement of the fourteen
year old provision. This itself is bad
enough, but it is great step for the
| better.
