Strangely enough, there is universal
applause in New York press for this
strike, but then practically everybody
in New eYrk uses the street cars. IF
they understood the evils of the mine

those of the crowded street car and the
careless corporation, the tone Of the
New Workers would be different.

SAYS HB> JOINED UNION
TO BEqRtY SECRETS

Cheyenne, Wyoming, May 2O.-F.
E. Chapman has been expelled from
the Cheyenne union of machinists for
cause. His case. provides an interest
ing story and holds a warning TO every
labor organization in the United States.
IT the confession which he has made
is true there are spies and spoilers in
many of the lodges who are paid to
betray' their secrets and to provide
emploers with information concerning
their employees.
Recently the Cheyenne union came
into possession of positive evidence
that the proceedings of it's secret ses-
s1ons were being betrayed. The only
way such secrets could leak out would
be through the treachery Of men,
Der Of the organization and in this
case proof of the guilt Of F. E. Chap
man was quickly secured. Tuesday
he was tried by the union on a charge
Of being spotter, the trial lasting
from IL o'clock, noon, until O'Clock
in the evening. The trial was fairly
conducted and resulted in q verdict
of guilty. Chapman was expelled from
the UNION and escorted to the door
with: a. warning to never set foot with
in the confines oH the lodge room again.

ed Of their plans, especially after the
beginning Of the strike last June. He
admitted that he had betrayed the
plans Of the union repeatedly, and
said the agency by which he was en-
agents in unions througout the country
for the purpose Of hetraying employees
to employers. This confession followed
an effort by. Chapman to convince the
| machinists that he had been the vic
tim OF an Injustice when expelled from
! the union.
| Chapman had been a member of the
| Cheyenne uion for sixteen months,
coming to the city from Denver. Since
| the beginning of the strike in June he
has regularly drawn a. married mans
benefits from the national organiza-
ton, claiming that while he had no
wife he was compelled to support a
son.
| The members of the union were very
much wrought UP by the discovery Of
| Chapman's perfldy, but attempted no
! violence. 1t is said that he was prepar-
ing ito join Cheyenne secret societies.
but wheather his desire in that direc-
! tion was inspired by the agensy which
he represents is not known.

STREET CAR PASSENGERS FORM
A UNION.

The fact that nothing succeeds like
unionism was shown recently in Brook
lyn by a. curious incident. Sixty pas
sengers on the elevated railroad, bound
for New York. were ordered to change
cars when only half way to the city
This was new and very inconven-
lent regulation. and the passengers
refused to move.
They at once organized an Anti
Move Association" elected a president
and secretary and took the names and
addresses of every one in the car. A
policeman was called, but his arxu-
ments had no effect, and he was sc
completely outnumbered that he did
not dare to use force.
This was defiance Of law, but the
militia was not called out.
The car was then sent back three
miles to where it had started from,
The passengers remained, sang songs
: and plotted q collective revenge.
At this point statisticians began to
figure how much was being lost by
the strike.
When the car startedta second time
for New York the conductor tried to
collect fares, but was promptly seized
by the passengers and put out on the
platform q where be was: ordered tore

A UNioNlzED NATION, WHY NOT

A UNiONIZE0 NATION, WHY NOT
Every man should be worker, and
every worker should join. the orsaniza-
ton of his trade or profession. This
is a truth that no American citizen
can deny. It is one of the foundation
principles upon which the Republic is
founded.
Every full-grown, healthy; sane in
dividual who lives without working
is q loafer, a dead-beat, CRATER, M
matter what legal Or respectable ex-
cuse he may have for being idle.
To do nothing is to degenerate, to
rot, in body and mind and character.
The first commandment today is
EARN YOUR OWN LIVING.
Centuries ago it. was considered a
disgrace to work. In few years it
will be considered double disgrace
for an American citizen not to work.
Therefore, 1t is safe to say that the
power of unionism will continue to in
crease. In the last two years nearly
100000 new members have been added
to the American Federation Of Labor,
in spite Of an opposition which is be-
coming less and less. The school,
teachers are falling in line, and all the
progressive men and women In the
middle and professional classes are
cooperating more and more with the
labor organizations in matters of good
citizenship.
Is 1t not clear, then, that in ten or
fifteen years the American Federation
of Labor will include the greater part
of the nation? Is it not plain that it
will band together the workers and the
thinkers against ldlers and exploiters :
Is it not evident that it represents the
really useful and worthy part of the
nation, excluding both the froth and
the dregs?
And can any work be more progress
sive. mo :soc1a lily useful and. zmora
patriotic than. the, education and or
ganization Of nine-tenths Of the Amer
lean nation, 80 that they may possess
their rights and perform their duties
as citizens Of great Republic?

CHILD LABOR MEANS NATIONAL
DECAY.

"Why was it that soldiers of the
same race as those that charged three
times up Bunker Hill in the face Of a
whitening fire, were not shot in the
back while fleeing before the enemy in
the Boer warp asked S. p. Donnelly,
the labor member Of the New York
Boar dof Education, at a legislative
hearing of the child labor question.
1T is because the mothers of the
English people have been weakened
by long hours and bad conditions in
the factories Of Great Britain" sal he.
1.-THE nation that supplied the cotton
kings and iron masters with child
workers for fifty years has today to
take back seat in both military and
Industrial affairs"
Mr.. Donnelly has done we'll to call
attention to one Of the most serious
of all the many evils of child labor
tho fact that it causes national decay.
The overworked child, with very few
exceptions, grows up into an ignorant,
stunted, low-grade citizen. Like tree
that was trampled on and broken when
1t was a sapling, man who was cru
ELY treated in his childhood is marred
and defective as long as he lives.
He who robs man Of money takes
something that may be regained at
some future time. He who robs man
Of health does not necessarily inflict
an injury that is permanent. But he
who robs a human being of childhood
takes away what can never be regain
ed. and makes the whole life inferior
to what it might have been.
To make a child work like an adult
is as unnatural as to make an adult
play tag and dress. dolls like a child.
as we'll as a great deal more harmful
Every horseman knows that to-: work
a two-year-old colt means to- spoil a
horse. George Macdonald the English
author, says that if he had his way
no horse under five years of age should
ever have harness on.
The nation that will lead the world
in commerce, literature, music, art
philosophy and morality in thirty or
forty years from now, will be the ma
ton that today has the cleverest, best
born and best educated children. Tc
know the children of a nation is tc
know that nations future. What fact
can be more evident than this!
1t is quite certain. that in the child
hood of the 100000 tramps, criminals
and detectives in the United States
there was some marring, destructive
influence that prevented them from
becoming normal human beings. It is
also quite certain that many of thu
same Influences that ruined them are
still at work, running thousands of tn.
children who In thirty years will be
voters and citizens of this Republic.
Child labor is like poison ivy of slow
growth. Injuriour as it may be a
the time when 1t is first planted, it,
banefrl effects are never fully discov.
cred until the coming of the next gen.

to which have to be added the I00a9

The force 70 the explosion was terrific,
and timbers were torn from the walls
Of the passages for several hundred
yards at the mouth Of entry *" The
passages were so completely obstruct-
ed that the work Of rescuing the en-
tombed men was tedious in the ex-
treme, and several hours were oonsum-

is believed that the gas was ignited
by a miners lamp. The miners who
escaped, with the aid of others, sum-
moned from nearby shafts, Immediate
ly set about clearing the passages in
the hope that some of the 13 entombed
men might have survived the explo-
sion.
Six bodies had been recovered and
the rescue work is stiu in progress.
