CRACKER TRUST Is
TREMBLING TO ITS FALL
Sells Preferred and Common Stock in
Order to Pay Dividends-Organized
Labor Can Bring it to Terms.

(From the Bakers Journal.) 80.
The fight against the cracker trust
has now truly become a fight Of or
gained labor. The mouthpieces of or
ganized labor, the trade and labor jour-
mails, local as we'll as national and inter-
national, are reverberating the COM
plants and grievances Of the bakery
and confectionery workers against this
monster Of inequity from one end of
the country to the other, bringing them
to the attention of the public, and rails
ing a sentiment which will become more
powerful every day until Justice is done.
There Is not a true labor paper in
the country that has been without men
tlonlns our fight against the National
Biscuit Co. the past weeks. The CEN
trail bodies in every city and district
are aroused by circular letters sent out
by our International secretary some
weeks ago. The members Of organized
labor will have their memory fresh
from these incessant appeals on this our
long struggle.
New Factories Building.
u; Even some daily antitrust papers in
the +larg cities have given the matter
space: The independent manufacturers
all over tho country report their plants
turning out biscuits and crackers to the
utmost Of their capacity. New cracker
companies spring UP. and have an as
sured trade as soon as they open BUSH
ness. Old firms are erecting factories
and every indication goes to show that
the way of the cracker trust is strewn
all with thorns and that the roses bloom
in the garden Of others.
VIII the generation coming after us,
in learning economic history, look at
the trust creations in about the same
manner as we look at the huge mon
sters opast creations with jaw-b1>4
ing names, such as the ichthyosaurus,
the elasmosaurus which we admire to-
day in our museums? Be this as it
may, trust managed like the National
Biscuit Company has certainly no fut-
ure. It's soul is too narrow. It is made
up OF selfshness that spares neither teh
hair that is gray nor the child In it's
tender age. Money! Money! Divi-
dends! Dividends! are its hideous
cries, and those who look the monstDr
between the eyes clearly see that it is
capable neither Of pity nor conjunction
in getting what it wants.
Dividends From Borrowed Money.
But will 1t get what it wants? This
is another story. Those who did not
believe US when we put down the share
holders plan of this concern as largely
impelled by need OF more money, may
now think differently, when we MI
them that it was compelled to issue
some more stock certificates last week

tempt would be regarded as very bad
form by the members Of good society"
Therefore, it is q great deal more
important that Gil labor leaders be men
of spotless reputation than it ts for
capitalistic leaders or government Off
Gals to be SO. Just now unionisrn is
being searched for faults by the clever
est and most unscrupu1ous writer's in
the country, and wherever a fault is
found the blame is put upon unionism
and not upon the individual. The flu
ture Of unionism in a large measure
depends upon the personal character
and ability of those who are it's leaders
today.-Herbert N. Casson in Boyce's

THE NECESSITY FOR HONEST
LABOR LEA DERs,

A labor leader in NJ W York has been
accused of taking brides from cor
porations. It is said that he received
$4,000 on one occasion and $500 on
another for stopping strikes.
At present no on4 knows what the
truth Is. His enemies call it justice,
and his friends call it persecution. On
the one hand 1t III said that he has
$4,000 in the bank; and on the other
nand 1t is a fact THAT he has worked
SO hard and so successfully for his
union that he hasashortened the hours
OF labor, and doubled the wages OF his
fellow workers SIC e Il: ~ n / 2..S*$
His particular fase IL not so very
important. If he is guilty, he is only
another rascal, ar ID there have always
oeen plenty OF tho m. If he is innocent,
he is only another martyr, and there
nave always been plenty of them. The
important point TO notice is the un-
usual amount Of publicity that Is be-
ing given to these accusations. Labor
union stock has fallen from the high
ngure which it re- ached during the coal
miners strike, and all the newspaners
are solemnly lecturing the unions on
the rare and TERRIBLE crime Of placing
money before principle.
The incident shows how necessary II
is for young Arsd radical movement
IKE the trade Yniontsm to have lead
ers who are above suspicion. The pre-
JUDGES against |ursionism are so strong
and its enemies are so powerful and
active that ALMOST any accusation is at
once believed By ]arge numbers Of peo-
pie. SO far fs The general public is
concerned, union Ism is still on trial.
1t Is still regd Lrded with suspicion, even
by those who have ceased to oppose #.
Unionism lis SO far from being an
established Institution that it is blamed
| for the acts of individual members and
those who gan IN no way be connected
| with it. 1T a hoodlum throws a stone
| during STRIKE 1t is unionism and not
! the hoodl1m that receives the blame.
1t labo1 leader is discovered to be
corrupt. il is unionism that is reproved
in the editorials.
| We do not treat other organizations
so unjusfly. No one is advocating the
abolition of the postoffice because its
highest officials are being proved to be
corrupttPnslsts. No one in st. Louis
! and Minneapolis is demanding that
municipal government be abolished be-
cause the city officials in both places
have cen shown to be dishonest.
The almost incredible fact has just
been reported that the railroads of the
United States killed AMI injured 1880
people last year, yet no editorial writer
is demanding that all railroads should
be destroyed and that stage coaches
should be put in their place,
! But unionism is not vet taken for
grated 1t is a new force in the world
and cannot expect to receive the con-
sid4rate treatment that other institu-
TOPS get. 1t has nothing to support it
except facts and figures and few
sc9re years: Of experience. No senti-
mfnt clusters around it yet. There are
nq trade union songs in the music halls
n3r trade union sermons in the
churches. :. -,

RICHMOND. Va, July 16.-Six
hundred and sixty-seven motormen and
conductors Of Richmond are and have
been on strike since June Is, the result
OF a determined effort on the part OF
the Virginia Passenger and Power
Company to break, at all costs, the Or
ganization Of their employees.
The city has been under military
rule, the entire militia Of the State
having been here since few days after
the strike was ordered. Orderly in
their conduct and with a determination
born OF long oppression, the strikers
are stronger to-day than on the morn

and then with joyous hearts return to

workingman in Virginia distinct VIC
tory, and placed another plank in the
foundation Of organization.

COST OF UNION STATION.
Right Of Conferees to Take Action Dis
cussed.


The suggestion that the railroad compa-
MES may wish to reduce the cost Of the
union station, to be located on Massachu-
sets avenue, from four to three millions of
dollars when the union station bill is con-
sidered in conference on the Goth instant,
Is causing considerable comment as to the
right of the conferees to take such action,
even II they should wish to do so.
The conferees are supposed, in all cases,
to contend in conference for the bill as 1t
passed their respective houses. Senators
seek to maintain the Senate. and represen-
tatiyes insist upon changes that the House
has made, and this Is always done regard
less of the personal Inclination Of the SEN
ator or representative. For instance, when
the SpOoner amendment was adopted in the
case Of the isthmian canal Senator Morgan,
who preferred the Hepburn bill as passed
by the House In the first instance, became
a conferee,. and regardless Of that prefer
ence stood out for the Senate amendment.
In the case Of the appropriation for the
union station both houses have passed the
bill providing that its cost shall be at least
1900, 900, so that there is no dispute in
that respect to warrant any change. 1t is
seeing the plans for the union station
changed In any material way that the
statement has frequently been made that
this union station would cost S., 600, O0O In
fact, that has been the figure used In gen.
eral conversat ton, and 1t has been referred
to from the beginning Of the formulation
Of plans for the elimination of grade cross
ings, and has been influential in every
thing that has been done in that respect.
They say that If the plans Of the depot
are to be cut down only million, then I'M
questionably they will still cost at least
81 100000.
There will be a strong effort made when
the bill Is in conference to have the exact
routes for street railways defined in the bill
instead of allowing that question to be de-
cided by the Commissioners.

GALLANTRY REWARDED
CAPT. LAYTON, 26TH INFANTRY,
TO BE PROMOTED.
Brought Up Reinforcements That
Saved the Day in the Battle Of
Tientsin-Will Be Retired.

The President has directed the appoint
ment of Capt Louis B. Lawton of the Goth
Infantry to the vacancy Of major in the
judge advocate generals department result
ing from the recent death Of Lieut. Col. J.
N. Morrison. Maj. Lawton is one Of the
heroes Of the Chinese campaign. He was
with Col. Lscum's column In the assault
on Tientsin when that gallant officer lost
his life, and was himself badly wounded He
was on the firing lire and was sent back to
the rear with an order for reinforcements
to assist the small force standing the brunt
of the enemy's fire. 1t was in execution Of
that order that he received bullet wound
IN the upper part OF the arm. His escape
from death was almost miraculous, as he
had to cross an open field, cut by bitches,
exposed almost the entire distance to the
nerciless fire of the Chinese He succeed
ed in his mission. however, and the day
was saved. In recognition of his gallant
first lieutenanD he was rendered the posi-
ton of captain and quartermaster, but he
preferred to remain in the line and de-
clined the promotion.
His severe wound practically made him
unfit for field service, and he was brought
home for treatment. The army surgeons
have now decided that this injury is perma-
nent and that he will have to be retired.
The President has therefore directed his
promotion at once in order that he may
have the benefit Of advanced rank on the
retired list. Maj Lawton has recently been
on duty at the Shattuck School at Faribault,
Mich, as Instructor of military science and
tactics. He is a native of New York, but
was appointed to the army from Iowa. He
was graduated from the Military Academy
captain Of the 18th Infantry in February.
