Ether Vibrations.

The effect OF movements in the ether
depends upon the rapidlty OF the vibra-
lions producing them. The unit OF
measurement for short waves In the
ether Is the bicron, which Is about one
twenty-five milliontL of an inch. Waves
measuring $50 to so bicrons affect our
sense Of sight, the former number CIV
ing violet and the latter red color. The
invisible rays, to which the actinic and
Roentgen rays belong, are shorter and
have been measured as short as 100
bicrons. Ether waves longer than
those giving light give the feeling OF
warmth. The longest heat waves are
eight times the length Of those of the
red rays, or one three hundred and fif-
tieth of an inch.

generally advisable to put in some spe-

strongly advocate the practice Of CIV

to the fact that it may be necessary
to feed grain in addition to the green
food supply. as grass alone may not
keep them feshy enough.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 16.-
Special Correcpondence,-E train
arriving here brings mechanics who
have been lured hither as a result of
literature spread broadcast over the
United States by enemies of union la
Dor. A secret anti-union labor organr
ization is formed. This organization
is headed by General H. G. Otis, pro-
prietor Of the notorious non-union Los
Angeles Times. General Otis has
sworn to disrupt the union labor move
ment of California. He first made
war ON the Typographical union and
that war is still on. The mechanics
coming to Southern California find
that it is impossible to secure employ
ment unless they underbid union men.
It is for this reason that they are be-
ing enticed here.
During the past week several for
eign advertisers have Withdrawn their
patronage from the Times because of
the pressure brought to bear upon
them by union labor throughout the
country. Among the leading advertis-
ers that have taken their patronage
from the Times is the manufacturers

In another passage Mr.. Perry refers
to the American Federation of Labor as
that great octopus which has for it's
purpose the dissemination of socialistic
doctrines and .brazen-faced insistence
on the right, justice, and legality of
the picket, the boycott, and organized
persecution

Progressive employers should read
Mr.. Parry's utterances In order to know
what to avoid-''how not to do it." For
the amusement of our readers we Gull
few choice specimens.
Referring to the affiliation Of the
Teachers Federation of Chicago with
the Central Labor union of the same
city, Mr.. Parry said:
AS I say to you, the entire country
stood astonished when Chicago an
nounced that it's public school teachers
were hereafter to wear the badge of
trades unionism, to march under the
banner of Gompers, chief boycotter of
America; Max Hayes. so"ia|istic con-
fiscator, Of Cleveland; John Mitchell,
apologist for dynamite and property
wrecking. To the mind Of the aver
age newspaper reader outside Of your
city this seemed like the tabled straw
that broke the camers back. To think
that the educators of the future citi-
zens of Chicago were to parade the
streets on Labor Day in company with
men who put a premium on violence
and hatred Of the employing class!

graphical studies, inpolitics, in political

The eight-hour day for the intelli-
gent American working man should
mean at least two hours of intellectual
work. Within the next five years there
ought to be in the House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington at least fifty
actual workingmen. They would be
the most powerful body in the House,
as they would speak on behalf of fifty
millions of other workingmen and
women throughout the country.
We should be very glad to hear from
workingmen their opinions on this
subject. Our suggestion is that the
ablest and most thoroughly equipped
labor leaders should be elected to Con-
gress at the first possible opportunity.
But we suggest more especially that a
chance for political advancement
should be offered to the young Ameri-
can mechanic. 1t should no longer be
necessary for man to feel that he
must go through the detailed work
Of some political organization, or crawl
into politics through some law office.
An honest working day Of eight
hours, and good hard study for two
hours, following upon the foundation
Of the public schools teaching, should

aster. Labor will neither disband at
the behest of an employers association,
nor abandon any of it's claims It will
not ask even Mr.. Parry to revise it's
programme, and the pretense that the
employers who are organizing to resist
labor are engaged in a work IF ma
tional defense is hollow and absurd.
The interests Of employers are not
the interests of the nation. BY insist
ing upon a high standard of living, on
a reasonable rate of pay, on restric-
tion of child labor, on the substitution
of real contracts for sham and one
sided industrial agreements" labor
promotes not merely its own welfare,
but the. welfare and progress Of the
whole nation. The opposition to !abor's
reasonable demands is not altruistic.
but selfish. sordid, and perverse. And
it is idle to assert that it IS only to ag-
gression, violence, and lawlessness that
employers object, for labor. is far. more
sincere. than capital in fighting these.

$4,000 FEE..
Clarence S. Darrow's Pay for Services
to Mine Workers Union.

Clarence S. Darrow received fee Of
$4,000 for representing the Mine
Workers union before the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission. In view of
the fact that the decision favored the
miners to the extent Of over $4,000, 900,
with $3,000,000 back pay increase, the
charge is considered by business men
and lawyers one of the most modest
on record.
When sending in his bill, Mr.. Dar-
row told John Mitchell, president of
the Mine Workers, that if he had done
the same work for corporation. the
bill would have been at least $4,000.
Mr.. Darrow has done a great deal of
legal work for weak labor organiza-
tions and their members without any
compensation at ALL but where the un-
ion is large and able to bear the ex-
pense the union is expected to pay for
the services rendered.

We are aware of the. unfo fortunate
fact that there tis$an inclination among
union 1abormen to view with suspicion
their fellows who show political ambi-
ton. And we are aware also that it
is tendency of the ablest labor lead
ers to hold aloof from the general leg
islative powers Of the country, and to
work as an independent body apart
from the general scheme of social gov
ernment.
This suspicion by the workingmen Of
their politically ambitious members,
and this tendency to isolated effort on
the part of labor leaders are certainly
to be regretted.
Our great labor unions are rich both
in money and in ability. They should
pay their leaders extremely we'll, they
can we'll afford to do so. And they
should take pride in the political sue
cess of their own members. Both polit-
ical parties should be called upon to
give full representation In Congress to

FUNDS OF UNIONS.
MAY Be TIED UP
WATERBURY INJUNCTION IS THE
MOST SWEEPING EVER is.
SUED BY A COURT.
Closely Follows Tafe Vale Decision in
EngIand-6eIieved That Way Is
Being Paved so Unions Can
BE Sued,

WATERBURY,, Conn.,, April 1e.-The
injunction issued against the labor un-
ions Of this city on March 18th, is be-
ing closely studied by the leading le-
gal lights of New England. It is found
that the restraining order is the most
sweeping ever issued by an American
court. The street railway company
set forth that it was damaged to the
amount Of $4,000, and it attached the
bank accounts, under the injunction, Of
every union in Waterbury. Some twen-
.ty unions have bank accounts, and
their funds are tied up until the in
junction Is finally dismissed.
Heretofore restraining orders have
only covered the members of the union,
but this order going its full length re-
strains the very sinews Of the unions.
It has been argued by union labor ever
since capital has used the injunction
in strikes, that temporary restraining
orders were asked, for the sole pur-
pose Of defeating labor. Claims are
made to the courts that certain irre-
parable losses are to be sustained, and
the power of the court Is invoked to
prevent such losses. In the great num-
Der OF cases the petitioner fails to
prove his charge. The hearing on the
temporary order having been post
poned from time to time, when it is
finally heard no further restriction Is
necessary, and so the whole matter is
permitted to drop. BY that time labor
has been thwarted in it's legitimate at
tempt to win the strike. An injunc-
ton only restraints one from doing
something that the law says is right.
That is why labor opposes it. In the
Waterbury case the attaching Of the
funds of the union will doubly arm
employers. Closely following the
Tafe-Va1e decision of England it looks
as though the American courts are
paving the way so that unions may be
sued without having tt become neces-
sary for them to incorporate.

BIWABIK, April, Especial to the
Labor World.-=There41s state of af-
fairs existing here as. regards the la
boring men that is truly disgraceful.
Certain concerns here are in the ha-
bit Of paying off their men by bank
checks drawn on theAlocal bank, and
when the checks are&xpresented for
payment at the bank on which they
are drawn, the cashier informs the
holder that the: concerns have no mon
ey there to pay theIn,> but they. will
discount them three per cent. Further
than that the same checks are drawn
payable to John Doe only, and unless
the payee presents At: himself, they
make bluff at not paying it at all.
This leads the merchants to fight shy
of them, and the poor fellows have to
wait around till they can get into the
bank, if it does not happen to- be open,
or submit to a. discount by the dealer
who is sharp enough to know that this
"only is worthless, and of no force.
One concern will not give a check
on the bank for the 4full amount due
when man quits but discounts the
amount three per cent and the check
they then give Is good for immediate
payment at the bank without further
discount. These::-#:are:: also marked
"only." It eau. :be:sseen very readily
that there is a good sized rake-off be-
tween the bank and & the employer,
where there are a.snl1rnber Of men en-
ployed as there are in the mines on
this range. The..:reason they assign
for this peculiarsaction is that they
have no deposits the bank, and in
order to get the: checks cashed, they
have to pay heaVy percentage, and
consequently haxeSztp charge the men
the three per centSdiscount.
This is no thing here, for it has
