LABOR MEN IN POLITICS.

Influenced by the precepts Of Mayor
Schmitz, Of San Francisco, and by the
enthusiasm and example of bodies
composing the American Federation of
Labor, which recently held it's conven-
tion in New Orleans, La, every labor
organization in that city has ordered
the payment of It's membership poll tax
and has prepared to take an active part
In the elections which will hereafter
occur in New Orleans and in Louisiana.
This new move of the laboring ele-
ment is principally the result of Mayor
Schnlitz's. visit to New Orleans dur
ing the convention of the Federation of
Labor. His stay there aroused more
enthusiasm among laboring people
than any other visit that has been
made there for years.
He was recognized as leader, not
only among laboring men, but among
all classes of men. The addresses which
he made urging the unions to take
more active part in politics presented
facts which were in revelation to men
who heretofore left politics to others.
The marked courtesy showed him
by the mayor and others in authority
impressed upon the masses the dignity
of the CONTINGENCY which had raised
him to high office. The impression
which he made was evident immediate
ly, union after union ordering the pay
ment of it's members poll taxes, and
urged concert Of influence in all pol
itical matters. go.
Committees are going about places
where the unionists are, securing funds
for the polls. In other cases the polls
are paid in lump sums and then col
lected from Individual members. The
organized labor of: New Orleans COM
mands a total of $4,000 voters. The

evolved wonderful scheme for fooling
the public into the belief that he is a
generous employer.
He announces his intention of setting
aside certain amount of the profits
of the United States Steel corporation
each year with which to buy stock to
be presented to the employees of the
trust. In other words, the Steel Trust
Is to be made a profit sharing concern
in which a small amount of the profits
are to be divided among the men,
The scheme looks very fair to the
public at first sight. But Morgan ds
not so generous as he seems. tt must
be remembered that when the Steel
Trust was formed the constituent COM
panles were paid abont twice the value
OF their plants, in stock of the big COM
bine,, so that the more than a. billion
dollars worth of stock represents only
half its face in real value. Water con-
stitutes a half of the stock.
The Steel Trust did a big business
last year, and the profits, were i'm
mense. But there lis a time for all
things and a period Of Industrial de-
preston would send steel stock down
to its real value or lower. Then the
men who are: getting these certificates
Of stock in part return for their labo,
will find that they are worth only halt
their face value, and have accordingly
been buncoed.> -. x, -. G..,

THE NEUTRAL MAN.

"He that is not with us is against
u.s." should be Inscribed upon the ban
rer OF organized labor, and should be
displayed as a warning to our non
union friends who say II don't belong
to the union but have nothing against
it, or the union is all right" etc.
For a man to remain neutral is: of
course, personal right" but for man IN
remain neutral when he hopes in his
heart that the union of his co-laborers
will succeed in obtaining for himself and
others an increase in wages and better
working hours, is a pretty poor stick
Of man" There is no neutrality for
wage-worker to stand upon $ he must
be for or against the union representa-
tive of his labor. The simple, fact, that
the union exists, that the object Of its
existence is to- secure benefit to- the
class of labor it,7represents, and that
it's platform is broad and it's principles
I praiseworthy destroys all possibility OF
any one maintaining a dignified, hon:

''Why is it that some O. the labor Or

getting into trouble?" repeated Henry
c. Barter, secretary treasurer of the
International Longshoremen, Marine

he was asked the questions: "I'll tell
you why a great many Of them are not

deadwood on the membership rolls.

In those connected with work on the

lished and reta ilers re anxious. .to quit
business. The latter are bitter In their
denunciation Of the trusts methods, and
declare that it is simply a question Of
winding up their affairs or being ruined
later on. The New York and Chicago
papers especially print sensational
stories almost daily Of the Vaccinations
Of the trust in it's attempt to bankrupt
rivals from the big independent tobacco
manufacturer down to the poor widow
or cripple who runs a little cigar store
for a living.
The trust, of course, has the advan-
I tage not only Of controlling raw mater
|ial, immense factories and in being
closely associated with other combines
of capital, but also because the inde-
pendents are fighting for business
among themselves and can come to no
agreement as to how loosely or COM
pactly they should be organized.
One thing that is certain is that if
the Independents do not. organize and
do not know how to help themselves,
nobody will organize or assist them,
and they are doomed. Still another
thing that is certain is that the. pres
| ent Developments are converting many
| people to the principle of government
ownership of the trusts. Those in the
tobacco industry have the choice of de-
Tending private ownership if they de-
! sire, but we shall learn presently who
comes out victorious in the game.

Eventual Outcome.

Some interesting news of the strug-
gle now going on between the big to-
bacco trust and some Of the independ-
ent concerns which fear they will be
crushed comes from different parts of
the country.
A cablegram from Berlin says the
American Tobacco trust has secured
control Of a large plant in Dresden and
equipped the same with labor-saving
machinery of the finest make, and the
same methods Of underselling and CIV
ing rebates that proved so successful
in England and the United States are
being put into operation in the Father
market.
At home the trust has just obtained
control Of it's largest competitor in the
plug and chewing tobacco line, the
Weissinger Co., of Louisville, and New
York daily says the latter concern is to
go into liquidation that Is, the
minority stockholders are to be
squeezed out. The magnates celebrated
their achievement by having $1,0O0,0C0
more stock Of the Continental Co., one
of the subsidiary branches, printed and
parceling it out among themselves. 1t
was like finding money, and if the
"liquidated" small-fry 60 into the courts
they will throw good money after bad.
On the other hand the Independent
concerns are at SKIES and sevens.
There has been much talk of their or
ganizing, but they are unable, to agree.
A Chicago paper says the larger in
dependents seem to have some secret
| agreement with the trust, and that a
number Of them live in hopes that the
trust will buy them out. The big in
dependents argue that to go into a new
combine they would lose their indi-
viduality, and for that reason they
would rather join the present trust
which is making barrels of money. A
trust-fghter in the south says unless
something is done TO- check the greed o1
