Factories Had Been Closed for
 More Than Nine Weeks.
ONLY TWO PER CENT RETURNED

That Is the Claim Made By the Pres
 ident of the Textile Workers-Mill
 Agents Say Response of Operatives
 Gs Satisfactory-Gates Were Opened
 at 6 O'clock and 200 Greeks Made
 Grand Rush-The Textile Workers
 at Philadelphia Went Out To-Day.
 Lowell, Mass, June 1.-The gates of the Massachusetts, Merrimac, Boott Fremont and Suffolk, Hamilton and Appleton cotton mills, which have been closed by reason of labor troubles for nine weeks, were opened this morning. The Lawrence mills, which were part ly closed, were also resumed, but only about 4,OO0 operatives responded out of about 18,000 who had been idle. President Conroy of the Textile coun- ell at S:S0 said that reports from meetings held by the. various unions indicated that not per cent of skilled organized help went into the, mills He said that every beamer, B out of 80 loom fixers, every mule spinner and TOO out of 500 ring spinners had an swered to their names or were account ed for to the satisfaction of the union officers.
 All the mill agents say that the re sponse of the operatives is satisfac~ tory. Agent Thomas of the Boott mills says he can run his mills. The rlnion stationary firemen refused to work but all vacancies according to the agents were filled. Both sides will issue statements later in the day.
 Most of the mill gates opened at 6 o'clock. An elderly woman was the first to go into the Merrimac. A body of Greeks, fully 200 In number, made a grand rush into the Fremont and Suffolk gates. Elsewhere the opera lives went in singly or in couples Alb solute quiet reigned everywhere. The labor unions began roll calls at their halls at 6:30 and kept up until s. The result indicated that the Textile coun- cil had held union members in line.
 Tn view of this showing the Textile council claimed that it had won the first test of strength and that the mills will again be compelled to suspend Every mill agent. however, in an inter view. said that he was satisfied with the situation. It is estimated that ot those affected by the shutting down Of the mills. not more han 1f.O00 have remained in the city. On that bases the mill agents claim that 40 per cent of the operatives returned to-day and expressed the belief that by the middle of the week from 1000 to 10000 vii be in their old places.

Should lie Proud Of Wyoming.
Within II few miles of where, only

called Sheridan the chief point Of

That IA city like Sheridan should

derful is the evidence accumulated at
Sheridan of the wealth in resource
and the industrial development of
the country of which that town is the
center. All that is shown in the In
dustrial and agricultural exposition
now in progress.
This exposition is but an incident
to the industrial convention repre-.

Bill Barlow on Organized Labor.

Bill Barlow on Organized Labor.
My compliments to the two or
three jack leg jawsmiths who have
taken occasion recently to class me AS
an enemy of organized labor-tell
wild em and all their ilk. The man
who works is a king to whom | W
and pay my homage; the true aristo-
crat if yol please, who is indepenu-
ent of the many worries of the veal
thy because he always has a meal
of livelihood i'll his toil-hardened
hands. He is entitled to the best
wages and honorable and honest
treatment, and if word or deed of
mine can aid him at any time in any
way he has only to press my button
and my bell will sure ring. Labor
has IA right to organize more it
is "A duty--and the value of such con
certed action has cured mann a griev-
ance and righted many IA wrong.
There are unjust and INSCRIPTIONS
employers today just al there were
once slave-driyers in the south. The
high scale of wages paid to-day in
this country in all II of EN-
ployment-the highest in history
are doubtless largely due to the wise
action of organized labor in asking
only what was its just due but in
sisting on that due with the efficacy
OF IA demand. Labor should organ

tice it always have and always will.

things must cease. even though they
are resorted to as aids to the
ful issue OF "a strike. No man ever
climbed the ladder of crime whose
conscious ever gave him sweet rest
again, nor could he enjoy that which
he waded blood te gain. And the
labor skate-that wood-tick upon the
man who works-who blackmails EN-
ployer and employe alike and who
stirs up senseless strife and sympa-
thetic strike as excuse for his exis-
tence-he must hike-and he'll have
to hurry. There is no place for him
in modern business or industrial me
thods. Let him shed his brief au-
thority and a few turgid things and
earn his bread in some other manner
than through the sweat of a jaundic-
ed and double jointed jaw, or join
the innumerable caravan of his class
whose final home is the calaboose and
state quay.
There is an a%ristocracy to whom
every man may belong if he will-to
which all belong who find work
worth doing and doing and do it res
olutely and with a will. 1t vas to
the man who works that the most
widely read of American poets paid
tribute as he wandered through the
streets of ancient Nuremberg sang:

Hans Sachs, thy cobbler bard ,
Birth, station, wealth these be fine
things to have, perhaps; but he who
does well for his family, his neighbor
and his country while helping him

tanned the very pinnacle of place anc

racy of honest toll.

Much has been said about the
different things needed to properly
develop Wyoming. 1t seems to me
that the greatest need, Just at this
time, is that of "A railroad from some
point in the southern part of the
seate, Rawlins, for example, and the
north, both Cody and Sheridan. At
the present time the north is practic-
ally cut off from the south in Wyo-
ming. But nothing seems farther
from probable, at this time, than the
building of any such road.

he hlSht To IdDOf.
The right of every man to work
without regard to whether he is or is
not "A member of IA labor union, is SO
distinctly recognized not only by
President Roosevelt in respect to EN-
ployment in government service, but
also by the arbitrator in the settle
ment of the anthracite coal strike,
that II should no longer be disputed
anywhere.
The laws of this country, both state
and national, make no distinction be-
tween men ON account of their rela-
tions to organized labor. A citizen
who is not a member Of IA union has
a. large rights under the law as one
who is IA member, and in the exercise
and enjoyment of these rights he is
entitled to full protection.
The sooner labor organizations rec
ognize this fundamental priucipie the
sooner will they place themselves in
line with both the law and public
sentiment. 1t is the corner stone on
which must rest the settlement of the
labor problem, for it il the law of the
land, and no organization, whether OF

Capital Punishment is Murder.

Capital Punishment is Murder.
Much capital punishment is being
done of late and sometimes we stop
and wonder who will be called to ac-
count for all of it. Is it right TO take
a mans life Just because the laws of
New York or Colorado say so? Thou
shalt not kill was not meant to be
regulated by the laws of certain
states. Capital punishment is as
much murder a. the crime committed
as both have taken life without
the sanctum of Him who gave us life.
How much more humane ii would be
to shut felons up 10 keep them from
doing harm and surround them with
environments that would tend to
their betterment than to send them
into eternity u%nprepared. Much bet
ter a soul saved at no matter what
the physical cost than to send that
