CURED in various parts of the country,
and which seem to be increasing in fire.
quency and malignancy. In fact every
thing indicates that it is rather the work
of those who sympathize with the men
who are engaged in the struggle and to
this extent at least it may be said to ere
ate prejudice against labor organiza-
tions not justified by the facts.
ut may also be said that the course
of the leaders of the unions in denying
to non-union workmen the right to seek
and obtain employment whenever and
wherever the nonunionists see fit, is to
no little extent responsible for the many
acts of lawlessness which are committed
by outsiders, who are but carrying to its
logical conclusion the indefensible posi-
ton of the organization and labor lead
ers in that respect
ITO demand the dismissal of non
union men for no other reason than that
they are nonunionists is, in my opinion,
but a modified form of coercion, which
naturally begets actual violence in the
struggle that frequently follows the re-
fusal upon the part of employers TO COM
ply with such demands.
LAS an earnest friend of the laboring
man can but wish that he and his lead
ers shall adopt less coercive measures.
Let them gain their ends by peaceable
rather than by forcible means, by per-
suasion rather than threats, by arbitra-
ton rather than by strikes and lock-outs.
Labor is strong enough to be just, and
unless am much mistaken union work
lngmen will ultimately find it to their
advantage to increase the mem bership
in their organizations by voluntary en-
listments brought about by the educa-
tion of their fellow-laborers to an appre-
,iation of the manifold advantages re-
sulting from union Of interests nationally
and lawfully applied"

every city of the country there Is now
an established scale of wages and a
maximum working day of ten hours.
Largely through the agitation of the
union, closed yestibules to protect
motormen and gripmen have been
adopted in nearly all cities.
In the IL years since the union was
organized wages have increased from
an average OF IA cents an hour to %
cents, while a higher rate than that is
paid in all the large cities. In Chicago
the wages are from % to % cents an
hour, most of the men being paid "a

three to Ave cents an hour in the past
two years, brought about since the men
organized here. The history of the
Amalgamated association is so identi-
fed with that of the national presi-
dent. w. ID. Mahon, that one cannot be
written without the other. Mahon
represented the Columbus union at the
convention where the national organ
ization was formed, and a year after
ward became the ruling power. He is
powerful speaker and splendid or
ganizer, and has done much in the
labor movement of the country, not
only for his own organization, but for
others. During the memorable strug

with other labor leaders, left the work
of his own organization and went into
West Virginia. on the firing line. In

the deputies and carried on the work

The strike proved to be the starting
point of the United Mine Workers,
now the greatest labor union in the
world Mahon has piloted his organ
Ization through many stormy strug-
giles, but he has learned to avoid
strikes wherever possible and resort to
arbitration. 1t is under that policy,
adopted few years ago. that the or
ganization has prospered until it now

Why Girls Should Cultivate
Friends Of Their Own Sex

There is a certain type Of girl whose

She has no use for girls" seldom
makes girl friends" never "bothers TO
cultivate women"
In the company of her own sex she is
listless and Indifferent. sometimes even
to rudeness. But just let a man loom
up on the horizon. ard instantly she is
all alive 10 the necessity of displaying
every advantage. Her eyes sparkle.
her lips smile. and her voice is heard
in animated conversation.
Lots of girls go through this little
performance unconsciously. Ever since
babyhood they have been bidding for
masculine admiration, till it has become
second nature. They have been passing
right over the value of a sister
woman's admiration. as IL 1t were not.
as IL really is. one of the finest things
a girl can possess.
For one thing, the average woman's
admiration IS given for different rea-
sons than the mans He will admire
the lively girl" the pretty girl" and
the swell dresser" But a woman's
admiration for a woman is generally
built on more enduring grounds and
lives longer. The world may joke as it
pleases about the G.kleness OF wonen's
friendship. but women who have
shared them know they are not false

not withdrawn when physical charms
