A LAW, A WOMAN, SOME SHAME.

Mrs. Loo Sin is a refined Chinese
woman. She is highly educated. She is
going to teach in the Chinese schools
in New York. The schools need her.
Her husband is a merchant in New
York
Mrs. Loo Sin came to the Home Of
the Free. On the day she landed at
San Francisco, 1000 foreigners from
various parts Of Europe swarmed into
New York. Some of them looked
mighty unpromising. 1t will take years
Of mixing and molding to make Amer
lean citizens of them.
But they came in.
Mrs. Loo Sin didn't. She was barred
out by the Chinese exclusion act and
bales of red tape.
They put her in. the detention pen,
where they keep suspected convicts
and paupers, and there they kept her
for forty days, while the red tape was
unwinding.
Then bonds were given for her and
she was permitted to go to Montreal.
There she waited for papers to come
from China, and then she was admitted
to the United States.
1t took five months of tomfoolery TO
admit one quiet little Chinese woman
into this country.
The Chinese exclusion law may or
may not be a good thing. Not all the
people who are arriving by steerdga
from foreign ports are equal to the
Chinese.
In these days, when the trusts walk
through the statutes, when it takes
from two to seven trials to send a
known murderer to the gallows, it
would seem that a law that can make
a martyr of one little almon-eyed
school teacher ought to be renovated
and revised,

LABOR PURIFYING ITSELF.

President Buchanan and the majority
of the iron workers union have been
fighting the battle of some 15,o0O 900
honest workingmen in the country
against a small body of corrupt in
triguers, who had started out to infect
the whole with the spirit and practice
Of graft. The grafters have been so
successful everywhere in getting con-
troll of executive and delegate offices
that the fight at Kansas City was pro-
longed and the victory narrow, says
the Minneapolis Tribune.
But honesty has won. The convicted
blackmailer Parks has been defeated.
The corrupt combination Of unworthy
labor leaders with dishonest contract
s:ors, which has paralyzed !: industry, in
Chicago ana tthrea tened to,sH paralyzze :sit
in New York, has been cond emned ana
repudiated. We believe that this result
will be welcomed by the great majority
of the real workingmen of the country,
and that the leaders who have been
misrepresenting these will gradually
lose their offices and their influence.
The trade question Immediately be-
hind the conflict for Endorsement ut
Kansas City was whether or not
strike should be declared on the new
East River Bridge in New York. Parks
wants to hold up the contractors on
this public works for blackmail, as he
had held up private contractors.
The workingmen and their honest lead
erss are opposed to him, and they have
won a victory. President Buchanan
says there will be no strike on the East
River bridge. This looks like turning
point in the history of organized labor
in the country.
This conflict over Parks is broader
than it appears. It grew out of the
struggle to extend all over the country
the Chicago combine of corrupt con-
tractors with Matchmaking labor lead
ers to Cypress all industry with possible
high prices. Parks installed the system
in Chicago; he was sent to Now York
to install 1t there; had he been success.
full, it was to be extended all over the
country. The paralysis Of industry that
followed his work in Chicago shows the
fate from which the whole country
has been saved by labor's self protec.

A ROTHSCHILD IN JAIL

The richest man in Paris has been
sentenced to Jail.
He is Baron Henri de Rotnschild.
And
He will remain in jail but a single
day.
The offense for which this big man
has been fined and sentenced to one
day in prison is that of speeding his
automobile beyond the limits of the
law. 1t is the fourth time he has been
arrested for IA like mira ction of the law.
Three times he has been arrested, fined
and sentenced.s&and in each case par
doned. He has been warned; by the

companied by: musicians playing con-
solatory music. They will welcome him
again when he comes. out, the musici-
ans then playing triumphal airs
More than that: J. : .r~.
Some Of the high-toned friends of the
baron have applied for permission to
stay inside the prison to cheer him up.
But the government is somewhat I'M
couthly democratic and these kind
friends will wait outside.
All, the dear martyr!
And why should the Baron de Roths-
child be escorted to prison as if he
were king deposed? Because he is
richer than Croesus?
Not that alone.
1t is because, deep down in the hearts
OF. these patrician friends, there is
contempt for the lava contempt like
that shown by Rothschild.
They are birds of feather.
And America, also, has it's privileged
classes-those who seek exemption from
the burdens and liabilities which fall
upon the shoulders Of the common
people. They make no display Of OPP
position to the law such as the friends
Of Rothschild make. They secure prior
ity of benefits, not by opposing the
law, but by means Of the law. They get
their immunity; their prerogatives, by
special legislation-a safer method.
Which is the more dangerous?
While Baron Rothschild goes to jail in
his spectacular way-a martyr in the
eyes of his FELLOWSHIP the eyes of the
public the law is indicated.
But when the law gives license what
shall be said?
Nevertheless, the days of special
privilege are numbered. The people
are slowly coming into their own. It
has been a long fight and a hard fight.
Privilege dies hard.
But it dies.

FLOUR MILL MEN

There is a representative of the flour
mill employees unions of Minnea polls
in Duluth urging the local unions to
contribute to the support of the men
on strike in that city.
A representative Of the Labor World
made careful inquiries into the situa-
ton during the week. He found that,
with but few exceptions, every ell
ploye in the operating: departments of
the mills *affected,-union and non-u1a-3
ion-had Joined the strike. He found
that the union responsible for the
strike was the Flour Leaders union;
that about one year ago all other en-
ploycs of the Minneapolis mills were
granted the eight hour day, and that
the idea was to put every employee on
the eight hour basis. The employers in
this strike are arrogant, arbitrary, dis
courteous and malicious.
They positively refuse to submit their
case to arbitration. They doggedly re-
fuse to receive committees from the
union of their employees. They have
very harshly declined to discuss the
grievances of the men with any rep
resentative people of the Flour City.
The indifference of a Pullman, the des-
potic attitude of Baer and the pug
nacity Of a Parry are all combined i'll
the makeup of the capitalists who
control the milling industry of Mime
apolis.
They have sworn to destroy organ
lied labor in Minnesota. They have be-
gun the attack on the mill employees
unions. If they succeed there, they will
try to break the next strongest union.
This being true it is incumbent upon all
of the trade unions to support the
millers.
The State Federation Of Labor has
called for contribution of one days
pay from every union wage Garner in
the state. If this is responded to it will
give to the mill employees a defense
fund of 100000 In other cities Of the
state the unions are responding nobly.
Let Duluth unions DO likewise. This
is the fight Of all organized labor and
those who work should feel it their
duty to support those who are forced
| into idleness by the arrogance of the
enemies of organized labor.
