ROOSEVELT AND UNION LABOR.

The National Labor Tribune of Pitts
burg, Pa, official organ of the Amalga-
mated Association Of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers Of the United States, says
that the more influential leaders of or
ganized labor are not in sympathy
with the savage onslaught on President
Roosevelt because on his "open shop"
stand.' Samuel Gompers, head of the
American Federation, has always been
a friend of the PRESIDENT says the
Tribune, land certainly the same thing
may be said of John Mitchell, president
Of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea. These two men have not 50 soon
forgot the courage with which the Pres
ident came to the rescue of the workers
at the time Of the anthracite strike as
to now consent to have him represented
as an enemy of organized labor for
campaign purposes, or any other puF-
pose whatever. If Theodore Roosevelt
had not demonstrated his friendship
and sympathy with the labor cause, it
has never been demonstrated by any
man in this country. 1t is by no means
certain that he has done anything in
the Miller case that is in violation of
union principles or practice, and we
shall evince no surprise if the American
Federation of Labor at its annual con-
vention indorses the President enthusi-
aStically.'

DEBs FIGURE As A PROPHET.

Eugene V. Debs has just given an
exposition of his social philosophy be-
fore the Hull House Woman's Club.
The title of his address was "emanci-
pation," and it's theme was the econ
omic revolution of the future Mr..
Debs made the prophecy that the
dawn of the era of cooperation, not
competition, was near. asserting that
trusts and the great cooperative enter
prises are paving the way to it. I'm
that way" he said, "war will be no
more, for with the death of competition
war dies. abhor the thought Of war,
and sometimes doubt that I could
strike a fellow man if my own life We're
at stake.'' ';.-
The speech was, filled with epigrams,
each expressing some aspect Of Mr..
Debs' economic views. Some of them
follow:
It Is ,commendable to relieve crime,
but infinitely more rational to prevent
it.
Could any man with a good heart be
satisfied with the world as it is?
The machine 1eaped from the brain
of the laborer, but he let it slip from
his hands. ).
I do not find fault with the capitalist;
he does as he. must. find fault with
the system. =: :
Political liberty is rooted in industrial
| freedom.

which labor is sold at so much per day.

SO when help is needed, scab is the

L1NlEMEN WIN STRIKE.
After = Five Months Struggle, Victory
: Crowns the Union.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 15.-(Specia1
Cdrrespondence.)-On May 5, five
Months ago today, the International
Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers de-
clared strike against the Sunset Telez
graph. and Telephone company, which
involved the entire territory from Van
couver, B. c., to Ell Paso, Texas. To-
day the men went back to work. the
company having come to terms. In no
city throughout the vast stretch of
country was the fight so bitter as i'll
Los Angeles, where the Employers AS
sociation, aided and abetted by the
notorious, Times, exerted every effort
to break the strike. Scabs were armed
and encouraged to create disturbances,
union men were arrested without
provocatton,$ and the vile Times daily
branded the peaceable. law-abiding un-
ionists as hoodlums. But without avail.
The men stood like granite wall, and
the result was inevitable. The splendid
victory of the linemen has been the oc-
casion of much rejoicing by the union
men and women in Southern California,
not only because Of the good that will
accrue to the sturdy unionists who re-
mained true throughout the long strug-
gle, but also it means one more defeat
for Otis and his coteri Of union -haters
The Times has reason for it's shrill
denunciation of organized labor, as ad.
after ad. is being withdrawn from it's
columns through the efforts of unionists
everywhere. You can aid this good

HAMILTON, O., Oct. 1s.-Judge

sweeping injunctions ever issued by an
Ohio court.
1t was directed against the Hamilton

pany, publishers Of the county trade
organ. The defendants are enjoined
from continuing boycott on the Re-

was to force the plaintiff to unionize
and abandon it's "open shop" policy. =

State Board Of Arbitration.

New York, Oct. 15.-Lawyers with the
backing. of builders. and employers
representing 500, 900 or more in New
York City alone are now working on
bills to be introduced in the various
state legislatures" this winter. which seek
to destroy absolutely the power of the
walking delegate and make labor
strikes impossible. A state law of this
character has been under considera ton
for three years, but never before have
the conditions been such that there was
any probability of its passage. It is
believed the time is ripe for it now.
The measure will have the support of a
majority of union men as we'll as the
employers.
!: In brief, it is proposed to do through
state enactment what now is frequently
done by injunction. individuals or COR
poratfons may be restrained from acts
injurious to the public good, and it is
held that State law having the same
purpose would be constitutional. Such
law as this exists in Australia and sim
liar acts have have been enforced in
England. J. Powers Donellan, a lawyer
who has been at work on the bill for a
year or more, will have it framed in
time for introduction in the New York
Legislature early in the cuning session
/ We expect he said, "the measure
Will have the support of the better
element of the unions as we'll as the
backing of large army of employers
Such a law would be perfectly feasible
and constitutional. It will make it ii

THE ETHICS OF LABOR UNIONS

The treatment of the labor question
offers the strongest evidences of the
growth of a religious spirit. The labor
principles are, in a sense, new. Their
principles, which may be right enough,
do not always determine their actions,
but their actions will sooner or~later
conform to tn cir principles, which are,
based upon the recognition of the rights
of all men. The Introduction of the
spirit of Cancellation, the recognition OF
the right of agreement, so that the de-
tails relating; to the conditions of en-
ployment >can be fixed by a positive
contract, the readiness to arbitrate
when all other means have been ex-.
hausted, the recognition of the fact that
the worlxingman is seeking something
beyond his arbitrary living Wage-all
these influences. are the resultzof liy-
ing spirit in men, which must come
from religious ,precepts if at :all.-Car-,

MINERS MAY STRIKE.
Application Of District No. is is
Granted,

Indianapolis, Oct. 15.-The national
committee Of mine workers adjourned
at o'clock yesterday afternoon. No
other meeting will be held until the
national convention in January. Inn
mediately after the adjournment of the
meeting, President Mitchell and Secre-
tary Wilson issued a statement, which
in part follows:
1--WE have had under advisement
since the executive board has been in
session, the application of district No.
49, composed Of the coal mines in Colo
RADIO, New Mexico and Utah. to strike
for an advance in wages, reduction of
the hours Of labor, seini-monthly pay,
the right to employ. check weighmen at
their own expense and the abolition OF
the scrip system of paymnet for labor
done. The district has made application
to inaugurate strike in accordance
with the laws of the United Mine
Workers of America. After careful
consideration Of all the facts obtain
able, the following resolution was un-
animously adopted:
" Resolved That the national exc
cutive officers are hereby given full
power to inaugurate a strike in district
No. Is in one week after the adjourn
ment of the national executive board
if conference cannot be arranged or
an adjustment made of Colorado
''Concerning the strike OH the West
Virginia Central railroad, which was
inaugurated because Of the action OF
the coal companies in discharging every
man who was a member of the union
| although 10 demands had been made
by the miners for any change in wages
or condition of employment, the entire
matter was left in the hands of Presi-
dent Mitchell to negotiate settlement
if possible or continue the strike.''

BAKERS UNION To FIGHT
AGAINST CRACKER TRUST
CONSUMERS ASKED 70 BUY ONLY
UNION GOODS.
Officers of Bakers and Confectioners'
International Union Preparing for
Vigorous Campaign. Fight Will Be
Aired in Convention Of the A. r. Of
l.. No. Reason Why Cracker Trust
Cannot Be Brought to Time

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 15.-The Exc
cutive Board of the Bakers and Con-
fectioners' International Union are
making preparations to wage unrelent-
ing war Or the Cracker Trust as the
National Biscuit Company is called.
This great combination now controls
the majority of the cracker products OF
the country, but independent union
companies are springing up all over,
and are using the union label; and it
is the belief of the union officials here
that such fight can be made as will
compel the National Cracker Company
to unionize all it's factories before an
other year rolls around.
Every union meeting place in the
country will be supplied with hangers
showing the union label of the bakers
and cOnfectlOners and warning con-
sumers not to buy the goods of the
Cracker Trust. Every bakers union
will appoint committees to visit sister
unions and urge the members to ask
for goods bearing the union label. And
committees will also be appointed to
visit the grocers, particularly in neigh
borhoods where union men and women
live. and ask them to buy no goods that
do not bear the label of the bakers and
confectioners.
This fight will also be well aired in
the next annual convention of the Am
erican Federation Of Labor, which
meets in Boston in November. The
Federation has already endorsed the
boycott on the Cracker Trusts goods.
but the officers know it will do no harm
to impress the fact of the fight on the
hundreds of delegates representing the
100000 members of union affiliated
with that body.
There is no reason why the Cracker
Trust cannot be brought to time in
short order, if enough "ginger" is put
into this fight. 1t will take some money
to run such a campaign, but the Of
ficers are convinced that the member
ship will approve any expense that may
