ALTON FREIGHT HANDLERS OUT.
Believed Attempt VIII Be Made to Tie
Up Other Roads.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Chicago, June 2i.-Two hundred freight
handlers on the Alton road went out OF
strike this afternoon, on a sudden and un-
expected order from President Curran of
the Freight Handlers and Warehousemen's
Union. There is a rumor that this official
may call similar strikes on other roads and
try to tie up traffic. but the report is not
confirmed.
The strike of to-day. so far as can be
ascertained. was called because two of the
committee who had called on the railroad
officials to set forth their grievances were
discharged.
The Alton recently made concession to the
freight handlers in the way of an increased
wage, and the railroad management feels
that the present strike Is unjuStitied. The
Alton management declares it has secured
at least fifty men to take the places of the
strikers tomorrow and says there will be
no Interference with traffic.

BAD BOOKS.

Twenty nine booksellers, of Chicago
have !, been arrested on the charge lot
selling tory and s. 81
wholesome literature = -: K T. . 7
The literature thus designated is in
most cases of the yellow back" dime
novel variety.
1t is alleged by the reformers who
have taken up the matter that these
Observation-Disclosures stories" are COR
rupting. It is said the police records
of Chicago will show that a. majority
of the young criminals of that city ar
rested for lawlessness began their
careers in desire to emulate the
heroes of the cheap novels.
The work of suppression is a good
one so far as it goes. But
You cannot make boys or girls good
by law. You can remove some temp
tations, and do away with some evil
influences, But that is all negative.
You can only correct taste for bad
books or bad things by implanting a
taste for good books and good things.
This latter must be done by some
parent and the home.
Unfortunately most of the young
people who are the victims Of 1urid
literature are those who have no
homes or parents. to speak of. They
| are mostly estrays.
And here is the field for the benef1-
cent juvenile court.
In the absence of parental influence
and direction, the temporary guardian
appointed by the juvenile court takes
the direction of the young mind. The
guardian can do what the parent has
| neglected to do-revise the habits and
elevate the taste.
If the child is to be a good citizen
| somebody must interest himself, be-
! cause

poison of the body.

THE INCREASE OF DIVORCE.

1t would be flying in the face of the
| records to deny the increase OF the
divorce evil in the land. Whatever the
| cause, the fact is appalling and de-
serves more attention than 1T is re-
ceiving.
Undoubtedly this increase is due to
the ease with which in one state or
another the marriage tie can be sun
dered by legal process.
The laws actually encourage it.
States vie with states in getting the
business by making divorce easy.
Some have turned it into an industry,
Towns boom themselves as divorce
centers just as they do as seats Of
manufacture or trade
In all twentyone causes of divorce
are recognized in the various states,
some Of them extremely trif1ing.
Cardinal Gibbons has just expressed
the view that the divorce statutes
serve to legalize successive polysamy
in distinction from the simultaneous
polygamy which even the laws Of Utah
now forbid.
The thoughtful sense of the land,
however, is not altogether with the
cardinal in his contention that the way
out of the evil is to abolish divorce
entirely. It is too true that in many
instances this would lead merely to a.
substitution of evils, and for the worse,
while in many more cases it would in
yolve undersigned punishment for in
nocent husbands or wives.
The idea which constantly gathers
strength is that of regulating both
marriage and divorce by means of laws
uniform for all the states. An inter-
state divorce convention might lead to
uniformity of legislation In the several
states. Such a convention, if 1t caused
no further practical results, would be
a tremendous factor in arousing public
interest and stimulating right public
sentiment in this grave question-and
this, after all, is the highest end to be
attained.
Carefully drawn uniform divorce
laws would reduce to reasonable
minimum the causes for legal separa-
ton; equally discreet laws governing
the entrance into wedlock might do
much to prevent those hasty and reck-
less marriages which furnish the d.
vorce courts with so large a part of
their work.

ARE TRADE UNIONS UNREASON-
ABLEs

Are trade unions unreasonable? In
the course Of discussion on the labor
question the critics Of union labor,
most of whom are unwilling to recog-
nize the good in trade unions, invari-
ably charge that they are OVERRIDING
it.
While in many instances this may
be true, yet the fact remains that the
great majority of them are more con-
servative in their actions than they
ever were before.
Most of them stand out as a shining
example to capital in this respect,
For example, compare the calm and
ers union to the despotic, aggressive
and avaricious stand of the coal opera
tors. A moderate increase in wages
would have appeased the miners. I'm
yieldingly was this demand fought by
the operators, and yet, because Of the
famisned condition Of the coal market,
they arbitrated and without sufficient
reason decreased the cost of coal, in
some instances more than double it's
tory, and is so we'll known that it is
hardly worth while to mention. Was
labor reasonable here?
In Minneapolis the flour mill en-
ployers and the mill owners are en-
gagged in an industrial struggle;-one
for an extention of the eight-hour day
in the mills, the other for the extar-
mination Of the union.
The former s-la bors-position has
been surprisingly conservative. The
mill owners, on the other hand, have
assumed a most radical position,-not
a bit in keeping with the policy Of the
Pillsbury's and Washburns, which for.
years marked the success OF the flour
industry Of Minneapolis. Can il he.
consistently said that labor Is unreal
sonable in this case?
Because an occasional Parks springs
to the 'front.' or an isolated trade union,
possessed with more than ordinary
power, forces an apparently unreason-
able point, it does not necessarily fol-
low that all trades unions have bad
leaders or that all trade unions are
inclined to be unreasonable. The
trade union is the only logical refuge
for the producing closes. It's con-
duct will depend largely upon the
amount of Intelligence represented in
it.
We have no fear Of the outcome.
Labor will win in the end because JUS
tice requires 1T

:. Daniel W. Richmond, of Chicago,
president of the International Associa-
ton of Railway Clerks, was visitor
in Duluth last week. Mr.. Richmond
has been on an organizing tour through
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. He
organized a union at Ashland before
coming to Duluth He expects to have
a local here in very short time. Mr..
Richmond states that his organiza ton
is in splendid shape. It was formed
last April with 10 locals. 1t now has
80, and is growing daily. In Chicago
it received for It's members a fifteen
per cent increase in wages. Nothing
in the line of organization will be done
in Duluth until after a referendum
vote is taken with rival organization
which is in existence here. There is
a movement on foot to combine the
two organizations and if this is agreed
to the present organization in this city
will affiliate with the regular organ
ization Of railway clerks.
Mr.. Richmond Jeff here for st. Paul
in company with T. E. Larkin, of the
Flour Mill Employees union. On the
train was another labor advocate.
When the conductor came to collect
fares the stranger said: How differ
ent is this travelling for organized
labor than what it used to be in the
old days? Don't forget the old boys,
for they had their. trials When I
first travelled for my organization 1T
was on a freight train. When we
reached a town it was a question if we
got anything to eat, but we fought
hard and today I ride in a chair car
to pay up for lost time, I started
organizing when my International
organization had but ten locals. It
has over 400 today, so we can afford to
pay our travelling organizers good
wages, and give them transportation

WILL NOT Do.

Any union trying to compel an en-
ployer to hire an obnoxious worker, is
doing both itself and the employer an
injustice. writes Judson Grenell in the
Saturday Blade. The union has no
such right The members have the
right, to be sure, to say with whom
they will or will not work. This is
sufficient for all practical purposes,
for if they are strongly enough organ
lied they make null and void any at
tempt to run so-called open" shops
by declining to work with other than
union men and women. One of the
paragraphs in Umpire Wright's deci-
sion reads:
There can be no doubt that a man
has right to quit the service of his
employer whenever he sees fit, with
or without giving any cause, provided
he gives proper notice.. and that the
ploy and discharge men In accordance
with the conditions Of his industry;
that he is not obliged to give any
cause for discharge but that he should,
as in the reverse case, give proper
notice
This right to discharge must be
sustained. Any other view of the case
would result in compelling men to
work for employer when they did
not wish to. and thus enslave them,
when, on the other hand, 1t would com
pei employers to employ men whether
they had work for them or not, and
whether the men were competent or
not, and would thus stagnate business
and work to the injury OF all other
employers" 49, =:
