Plumbers at Work Today Getting
the Drinking Fountain at
Post Office Corner in Order.
WATER WILL SOON FLOW
BY Tonight, it is Stated, the Water De-
partment can Turn on the Water. and
Horses can be Satisfied Drivers Pleas
ed = Drinking Place was Badly
Needed.

Plumbers are at work today fixing
the drinking fountain at the post Office
corner and it is expected that by to-
night the water department. will be
able to turn on the water. much to
the pleasure for the drivers.
Some time ago the water department.
was compelled to close the fountain
on account of the pipe being in bad
condition. Just what the trouble was
at that time they could not say, and
as no one seemed inclined to give
orders to have it fixed the fountain
has remained idle. The plumbers to-
day put in whole set of new pipes.
For some time past the Evening
News has been calling attention to
the fact that the fountain was public
necessity and pointed ont that the
city should do something towards
getting it in running order. As it
seems the MIDSUMMER days are now,
here, the action is timely.

TUCKERTON BAY is
FREE OF DRUM FISH.
Oysters Planters in Those Waters
Are Happy this Season
Much Damage Last Year.

Tuckerton oyster planters are re-
lieved to find that the drum fish have
not this year entered their bay and
disturbed their oysters.
Last year Tuckerton planters bought
heavily of Long Island Sound seed
from Long Island and Connecticut.
They had just about got through with
their planting, when along came great
hordes of drumfish, and in two week s
time, $780, worth of seed oysters
were destroyed The drum were final
ly driven out by dynamite, the fish
being driven by nets and boats to the
channels where mines had been laid
and great numbers of them were kill
ed by the explosions.
This year they have not returned,
and the planters hope that the dyna-
mite treatment has driven them away
for good.
Some planters fear their self con-
gratulations over the non.return of
the drum, may be too early, as the
cold weather may have kept the drum
back. No channel bass have been
caught at any of the usual fishing
places for that gamy monster as vet
this summer, and they will average
about June 10th for their coming.
Drumfish are looked for week or so
later than channel bass.

A NON-UNlON UNION,

Down in Indiana a non-union union
has been organized. It is Incorporated
under the laws of Indiana, and is a,
union" opposed to unions. Several
Of these kind of organizations have
been formed of late and enemies of or
ganized labor are making the most of
them. One of these organizations has
had a moribund existence in the print
ing trade for a number of years. It
flickers into lie only when there is
trouble. The iron industry is also af-
fltcted with such an organization. it's
members being rushed from point to
point at great expense for the purpose
of making a show of non-union labor.
and thus disheartening the more timid
in the ranks Of organized labor.
While the rules of these leagues cal,

LABOR'S DEATH kNELL.

The -knell of organized labor
in the United States has been sound
ed by the injunction issued recently by
Judge Elmer f. Adams of st. Louis,
says the New York Sun. 1.-THE DEATH
knell Of organ ized labor has become
somewhat Of a joke among people who
have good memories" retorts Herbert
N. Cassen, the preacher-labor advo-
cate.
again and again it has been sound
ed during the last fifty years; obitu-
aries have been written; funerals have
been arranged and graves prepared;
yet the rude and unobliging Labor
Movement lives on, healthier and
heartier than ever"
The fact is that the Labor Movement
Is one of those extraordinary things
that thrive on ill-treatment. You may
weaken it, perhaps, with kindness or
prosperity, but you cannot kill it with
injustice.
1t is the child of conflict. 1t is no
hot house weakling. Like iron, not
crockery, the more it is hammered the
stronger it grows. The reason why
is very plain-the greater the opposi-
ton, the greater is seen to be the need
of organization Trade unionisn has
been killed as often as Finnigan's cat.
To mention few instances, it was
killed by the conspiracy laws adopted
from the English code when the Re-
public first began; it was killed by the
verdict of a Philadelphia Judge in
1906; it was killed by the verdict OF
Judge Edwards Of New York, in 1896;
it was killed by the disruption of the
National Labor Union In 1858; it was
killed by the disintegration Of the
Knights Of Labor in 1898: it was killed
by the failure of the A. R. u. strike ir
1894; and now the poor thing Is dead
again, because of a scrap Of paper
signed by Judge who is the hired
servant Of the st. Louis Transit Com
pany.
The history Of the last century
shows that organized labor is as per-
sistent as Sir Thomas Upton, and well
1t is d great deal more successful. 1t
can receive no heavier blow than it has
already withstood again and again, and
1T will survive, no doubt, as long as the
United States endures.
These perpetual "death-knells' re-
mind one Of the little verse written
by Oliver Goldsmith, which ran as fol
lows:
A dog went mad and bit man,
and though no cure was tried,
The man recovered from the bite
The dog it was that died.

M lNNESoTA's FIRST SOCIALIST

Minnesota has elected it's first So
cialist to a political office Down in
Austin an election was held last week,
and P. H. Gender, the Socialist candi-
date for alderman at-large was elect
ed by safe majority. The Socialists
also succeeded In defeating the new
city charter which attempted to limit
the right to hold office to free holders.
This was one Of the issues in the cam
paign, and as the Socialists took the
broader stand they succeeded in elect
ing their candidate. Mr.. Gender en-
joys the distinction of being the first
Socialist elected to a political office
in this state. That Socialists in other
cities will soon succeed is evident from
the great amount of propaganda work
that is being carried on throughout the
entire state.

A non-union union of workingmen Is
the best evidence that organization is
necessary to accomplish a purpose.
But why workingmen should unite to
fight united workmen we cannot under
stand. It surely is not because the
labor, for all are welcome there. In
this respect do unions differ from
trusts.

The old, false, foolish idea of the
shame "old maidenhood'' has almost
disappeared. They consider carefully
before taking that important step.
Joining the labor union increases the
girls sense of dignity of her work, and
she gives to it more of her interest
and energy. So long as young women
simply looks upon her employment as
stepping-stone to marriage, she will
not make success of it. She must
think it important in itself-that is a
lesson working women cannot too soon
learn.
Women interested in their work and
putting their minds and hearts in it,
and organized into labor union, will
soon command positions, influence and
wages equal to men, which is what
