Child Slavery In the North.

A great deal has been written of late
about child labor in the south and espe-
cially by our esteemed northern con-
temporaries. 1t is unfortunately a fact
that little children are employed in
some of the southern cotton mills who
ought to be at school and who are be-
ing deprived of their childhood. But in
recent number of McClure's Maya
zine Mr.. Francis H. Nichols directs at
tentiOn to child labor in a northern
state, compared with whom those of
the south enjoy life of ease and
pleasure. These unhappy little toilers
are in the anthracite region of Penn
sylvania and number nearly 10000, of
whom $4,000 are boys who work for
the mining companies and the other
girls who work in textile mills estab:
lished in the mining region in order to
utilize this cheap labor. Thus the pop
ulation Of the mining region is becom-
ing more and more densely ignorant,
bitterly hating their employers, but
knowing nothing beyond coal mining
and for this reason absolutely at the
mercy of pitiless corpora tions.-Balti-

FOR. UNION LABOR'S BENEFIT
1--WE Have Quit the Thanlkless Job Of
Fighting For Nonunion Miners"

1--WE Have Quit the Thankless Job Of
Fighting For Nonunion Miners"
Patrick Dolan, president of District
No. 5, United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, says:
When said that only the union min
ers of the Pittsburg district would re-
ceive the tull benefit of the new wage
scale which goes into effect on April 1,
] meant every word of it. The opera
tors all understood it that way before
we left Indianapolis, and while they
may say that all employees will benefit
alike, the fact remains that the union
men will be the greatest benefciaries.
do not blame the operators for saying
was 'only Joking or for making the
statements they did, for if l were an
operator would have done the same.
But that does not alter the facts. The
union miner will benefit by the new
scale to greater extent than his non
union brother. Therefore l would ad-
wise all nonunion men to get into the
organization before April l.
Where the union man will benefit
will be in the dead work scale. The ton.
mage wage will be uniform. The opera
tors could not afford to pay one man
80 cents a ton and the man in the next
room only 80 cents ton, as it would
involve too complex system of book
keeping if nothing else. Besides it
would breed dissatisfaction But you
must understand that every two weeks
the pit boss is required to visit every
miner and measure up the dead work
he has done. Now, it is to the advan-
tage of the pit boss to get the work
done for the least money. That is what
he is there for, to get all the coal out
he can at the least cost to the operator
He understands perfectly the unions
dead work scale. The dead work costs
from $3.50 to $40 for every 100 tons of
coal mined. The man who belongs to
the union will get this. When pay day
comes the nonunion mans envelope
will be short. If he dares to kick he is
told to take his tools out.
This system has been in vogue in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois for years,
while here in the Pittsburg district we
have been fighting the nonunion mans
battles without any thanks from him.
Heretofore the nonunion man has been
receiving the full benefit Of the scale
and the union has taken pains to en-
force it, even for the nonunion man.
We do not propose to do this any more
and will let the nonmember of our or
ganization stand on his own bottom, as
he desires to do, and then see where LIE
will come out.

do. They take their offspring from
their breast, carry it to the operator.
the master, and say, What will you
give me for my child?" That is what
is done day after day. These white
slaves form large percentage of the
producing class of the country In fact
they are the producers. What about
their rights?
In West Virginia you can't step on a
piece of ground unless you step on an
injunction. You try to cross a river,
and the capitalist thrusts an injunction
at you. If one half of the river belongs
to the trusts, you have right to think
that the other half at least still belongs
to God Almighty, but it seems this isn't
true.-Mother Jones.

Joined in circular letter to the build

In the suit Of John Martin, a baker, Of

Vice Chancellor Pitney expressed the
following opinion of labor unions:
wherever you see labor union you
expect boycotting. The labor unions
have two methods of enforcing their
demands-the boycott and violence Do
you suppose that that man would have
been murdered at Waterbury yesterday
If it had not been for the influence Of a

Postal Savings Banks.

Their tendency toward their establish

A Railroad Strike In Holland.

Something unusual in the way of
strikes has just occurred in Holland.
1t began through an engine driver on
the Hollandsche railway refusing to
shunt train into premises where the
workers were already on strike. He
declined to do what he called "scab
work. He was discharged, but his
association supported him, and all the
1900 employees of the two great rail
ways in the country came out as one
man. Such united action has never
been seen in Holland before.
The decision to stop all trains was
arrived at on Friday night, Jan. 80,
and on Saturday not a tra was run
ming. Curious results followed. All the
stations were closed and guarded by
the military, which had been hurried
to the chief points, especially to Am
sterdam, where the strike originated.
The mails were carried in motor cars
which the minister responsible for that
department had called into use from
private owners. One trainload of pas
sengers on the way to Germany was
delayed at Amsterdam for six hours,
and the unfortunate passengers were
afraid to leave the train, lest it should
60 on without them. Humorous Incl
dents were not lacking. An opera CON-
pany had to travel from Amsterdam to
Rotterdam. They travelled part way in
cabs and other vehicles. Then they got
a train part of the remainder of the
way, but the engine driver struck when
he got some distance on, and the sing
ers had to walk the rails to complete
their journey. A crowded house await
ed them, but they had neither instru-
ments nor costumes, so they gave Ell
delio" in the clothes they had travelled
in, and the music was supplied by q
piano.
Late on Saturday night, the 31st, the
railway companies gave in to the men,
and the strike ended.-Collier's Week

Chicago WoOdworkers' Agreement.
The woodworkers employed by the
Mill Mems association have been grant
ed substantial wage increase, but in
return have given up the right to go on
a sympathetic strike. The new agree
ment raises the minimum wage for
bench and wood men to % cents an
hour and that of the wood carvers to
30 cents an hour. 1t affects between
1900 and 1000 men and means an ag-
gregate yearly increase of $4,000.

PRIL 10 and ii, 1868, two sharp
actions were fought at Fort Bis

tedious campaign Of opening the
lower Mississippi to Federal
ships of war. Grants plans for reduc-

Confederate garrison there drew sup

son from the west bank, and also reach
the Red river country.
The Confederates, under General
Dick Taylor, held strong positions on
Bayou Teche, at Fort Bisland and
Irish Bend. With two divisions of the
Nineteenth corps, under Emory and
Grover, Banks attacked Taylor, NOV
ing his troops to the scene by feet of
river gunboats. Growers division was
to attack the Confederates at Irish
Bend and drive them back upon Fort
Bisland, which in the meantime EN-
DRY would carry by assault. Owing to
delay in putting his men ashore in the
shallow water of the Teche, Grover did
not open the fight until the 14th, when
Bisland was already in the hands Of
Emory
Emory's force moved against the fort
in two columns, marching up both
banks Of the bayou. A few days before
the attack the Confederates had cap
tured the Federal gunboat Diana, which
they turned to good service by opening
her batteries upon the line of battle.

taking place on the extreme flank the
main line Of Federals, led by the Thir-

federate works and halted under fire to
await general attack. Meanwhile the
column on the left marched forward in
crate guns. This fire was kept down in
part by Federal guns, but the musketry
from dense canebrake held by the
Confederates on the extreme left in ad-
