MAKING PROGRESS

only those who keep In touch with
iapor movements and the opinions OF
LABOR leaders are aware Of the enor-
nous progress that is being made in
The right direction. The most infuen-
tial leaders Of labor everywhere are
giving to those under their direction
such wise counsel as will, il followed
make the cause of organized labor not
only more powerful than It has ever
been before in this country, but prac-
tically irresistible.
AS an illustration of this we call at
tentfon to the address of President
Keefe, Of the Longshoremen's union.
This organization has not been SUD-
posed to be one of the most temperate
or moderate in the country, yet here is
what its president says:
Sympathetic strikes should never be
countenanced or sanctioned by this or

Tor the solution of differences and dis
agreements between industrial forces
Is common and dangerous error of
portlon OF the public and some of our
members to believe that we must have
law TO govern all our relations with
our fellow men: The clamor of com

any laborer who may have given the

This is the soundest kind of sound

times more than 1t has ever helped it.
violation by any union of an agree
ment or contract is literally "suicide
anu oiohoHoi. 1t is amazing that so
many labor leaders should be obIivio,s
Of the fact that their demands for ah.
solute unionization of industries is also
one OF the things that keeps working
men out of the unions. The .laborer
does not like to be driven any more
than the capitalist. He does not like
to be met with club. He does NOT
relish being told that he cannot worl,
at all unless he complies with eonsi-
tions already laid down by an order TO
which he owes no allegiance, and which
has as yet no power over him. The
better the man the most likely he Is
to accept the challenge. He STAYS ont
Of the union because the union has
virtually threatened him.. His very in
dependence leads him to prove to It
that ne does not have either to give or
to accept aid. Thus the rule OF the
closed shop creates warning factions
in the labor world itself, as well as
prejudice in public opinion.
The great advance that the unions
are now making is In their reliance

SUNDAY, JULY II, 1904.
THE FAULT WITH THE FAIR

As an exposition the st. Louis fair is
it is the greatest exposition of the
progress of the world that has ever
been made. It is therefore the more to
be regretted that it gives promise Of
being financial failure. For it is not
to be doubted that the attendance Is
far short Of what it should be in order
to leave a balance on the right side
when the books Of the corporation are
closed.
The reason for the light attendance fs
SO obvious that 1t scarcely need be
pointed out. The fair has not been ad-
yertised.
The promoters Of the exposition
showed real ability in the tremendous
financial undertaking necessary to
realizing their aims in producing the
worlds greatest exhibition of the prod
ucts of the arts and sciences. They did
more than this: They succeeded ad-
mirably in constructing a UNIQUE and
beautiful collection of buildings for the
housing of these exhibits The visitor
at the fair has been astounded quite as
much as delighted by the spectacle
presented within the grounds. 1t is a
crying shame that the grand work of
the promoters should have halted when
they approached the problem Of in
ducing people to go and see the result
of their endeavors. The department of
publicity has failed utterly in creating
interest in the great fair.
The experience of every newspaper
In the country has been the same with
regard to worlds fair literature. Every
newspaper pretending to enterprise
stood quite ready to open it's columns
to the work Of the worlds fair bureau
of publicity. And that bureau had be-
fore it material absolutely new.
There was no possible excuse except
incompetence in the performance of
the work for the exclusion of world s.
fair stories. Unfortunately that ex-
cuse presented itself. The matter sent
to the press was never up. to the stand
ard required by the editor who had any
regard for the feelings or intelligence
OF his readers. For a year before the
opening OF the exposition, while the
1alr was in the making and each day
was rife with splendid material for
sstories," the bureau sent out the yeri
0st rot. Sunday editors were driven to
despair in the attempt to lick into form
the sophomore efforts of men who did
not appreciate the wealth of the ma
teriai they had to work with, OF, being
informed of it, did not know how to
put into readable form or illustrate tbe
matter in hand.
This totally inadequate attempt at
securing publicity disgusted the news.

magnificent work performed by the
department Of promotion and publicity
for the Chicago fair can but feel sorry
for the unhappy men who are doing
the same work for the St. Louis fair
and doing 1t so badly.

IOWA SPORTS.
Humboldt Man Secures Heavyweight
Championship.

Iowa is showing up this year in The
world of sport as well as in other di
rections. An Iowa man has won the
championship for heavyweight, catch
as-catch-can wrestler. The name Of
the new champion is Frank Gotch and
his home is Humboldt, Iowa. He de
feated Tom Jenkins, last years cham
pion, at Bellingham, Washington. Jen,
kins weight was 210 pounds, while
that of Gotch was twenty pounds less
The match was for a two thousand
dollar purse and a, side bet of two
thousand dollars.
The contest was one of the most
stubbornly contested and one of the
most sensational recorded in the his
tory Of American wrestling. Jenkins
fought stubbornly to retain the cham
pionship, but the Iowa man was too
much for him. Jenkins was clearly
out-classed when foot work was con-
sidered and he failed at every turn
to solve the tactics of the Iowa man.
He became furious when he found
the championship slipping from his
grasp and at the end of the last fall
he was in a helpless condition and
was carried from the mat.
