Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1904-06-03

COLORADO union men are bellyaching because
the daily papers seem to be in conspiracy to
maintain silence toward the Cripple Greek
strike" They permitted the best labor paper
in the country to starve to death-and now
they whine because the daily papers do not be-
come labor papers. In this respect, COLORADO
deserves all she is getting. g.-The Unionist.

any friend of unionism to answer this letter.
And it seems to us good idea to print the let.
ter, as it is fair sample of the sort of argu-
ment generally advanced against the unions.

ter, as It is fair sample of the sort of argu-
ment generally advanced against the unions
This writer assumes that A, the married man
with family, is satisfied with his three dollars
and half, and that the majority of married
men are satisfied with THEIR th-ee dollars and
half.
He assumes further that B, the unmarried
man, is shiftless and more or less intemperate,
and that he, "with few Of his brother union
men''-also bachelors, presumably-force
stiike upon the unwilling, decent married man.
We know nothing about the particular con-
ditions to which the writer OF the letter
refers, but we do know good deal about
unionism and its principles.
In the first place, as every employer will
testify, no matter how much he may dislike
unions, the union rule absolutely discourages
drunkenness, and they discourage the shiftless
class.
Ask any big employer. and, it he answers
truthfully, he will tell you that the principal
difficulty in dealing with uon-uuion mechanics,
in large centers of population, at least, is to
secure sober men, reliable men, honest men,
that will not shirk work when their employers
back is turned.
It may be occasionally that the union man
with family of children hesitates to join
strike for higher wages-even though the higher
pay be reasonable. Certainly, four dollars per
day is not an excessive price for skilled
American mechanic, when we consider the in
creased price of living. Nevertheless, the
married man might hesitate and prefer his
three dollars and half day, free from worry,
to the possibility of getting more at the end OF
strike, which involves some deprivation and
self-sacri6ce.
But let the three. dollar. and .a.half men re-
member this:
Without the unions, no carpenter in the
United States would be getting three dollars
and half day.
Only a few years ago, when there were no
unions, the highest pay for carpenter was one :
dollar per day-and many men worked tor less.
The married man who gets his thee dollars
and half day now gets that amount of money
because bis fellow workmen 10 the past had
the courage to strike and demand their rights.
The workman who gets good wages to-day
owes his good fortune to the courage of those
that preceded hm-of those who were not
afraid to strike, even ii it meant temporary
discomfort.
Workmen should refrain from making unjust
demands. 1t is proper tor the married men
those who have the most at stake-to use their

Duncan Mcmillan and others. The man

cure Chief Two Feathers and War Eagle
the champion Indian wrestlers of Amer
lea.
One of the prettiest matches of the
week will occur when Champion Gotch
on side bet of 500 will try to throw
Chris Larson three times in one hour.
Many of the sports here expect to see
Larson win the money. He is man
of great muscular build and well up in
the art of wrestling. OF course he is
not in the same class with Gotch.
Duncan Mcmillan will meet Joe Car
roll. Joe Carroll will wrestle Jack
ONeil. Frank Gotch announces that
he will throw any ten men in Yakima
county within 60 minutes or forfeit the
sum of 800. He will also throw Joe
Carroll and Duncan Mcmillan four times
in 90 minutes.
Eddie Thompson challenges any light
weight in the world or forfeit $3.50. He
would also like to box either Rufe Tur
ner or Louie Long for $500 a side. There
are scheduled several fast boxing bouts
by prominent opponents of the fistic
arena. The carnival will certainly be
a good one and prove satisfactory to all
lovers of this kind of sport.

Will Not Fight Very Hard.


Senator Jack Splawn has been nomi-
mated for reelection for the office of
state senator from Yakima county.
Senator Splawn is good man and
would no doubt make this county a
faithful representative, but he realizes
the overwhelming republican majority
in the county and also that he is run
ming against Walter J. Reed another
strong man which said thoughts cause a
feeling of indifference to have suddenly
seized the senator and he now declares
his intention of not intending to make
a ahrd fight for the place. As a matter
of fact Mr.. Splawn's business interests
are too great for him to allow himself
TO be sacrificed at the hands of the
democratic party in Yakima county. He
said that while he would make no fight
a hard fight for the place. As matter
duty towards his constituents and the
people of Yakima county if they again
choose him for the honored position of
state senator.

RAIDS ON INTERPRETATIONS.
That Seems to Be the Latest Brand OF
Burglaries in Topeka.

Several reports of petty thievery in
the vicinity of Ninth and Madison
streets came in to the police Friday.
The thefts are credited to tramps or
bad negroes, and were confined al
most exclusively to canned goods and
provisions purloined from cellars and
back porch refrigerators.
At the residence of James Robert
son, at 913 Madison street. the cellar
was robbed of everything portable, and
a similar state of affairs was discov-
cred at the residence of George White
ker, at Gil Madison street. L. B.
whiteker of 917 Madison street also
lost the contents of his refrigerator.
Fowls for A generous repast were
taken from hen roost on the alley
back of the Whiteker residence. Some
noise was made by the thief or thieves,
but no one saw them during their
operations.
The police have a theory that the
only way to catch a thief is to sit in
the Jail office and look over the pawn
shop reports, but as the preserves,
butter, chickens and steak stolen by
this gang are not liable to appear at a
pawn shop, the robbers will probably
escape detection.

CONCERT BY MARsHALL's BAND
Musical Organization Never Played
So Well.

About 2.00C sat around in the Audi
torium last night and listened to good
music by Marshalls band. The band
is in better shape than it has ever
been before, and the people got their
moneys worth of music. The picture
show" which was scheduled to follow
the band concert, was a cipher with
the rim removed One of the man
ayers came out and regretted to
state" that the film ribbons for the
machine which had been ordered from
Chicago, had not arrived but that an
assistant was at the express office wait
ing for a train to come in, and maybe
they would be able to deliver the goods.
Later, after the prize drawing, he an
nounced that the trip to the express
Office had been fruitless. but that he
would show what he had Whereupon
half dozen short, shoddy scenes,
some of them running backward and
upside down, were chased through the
machine, and the show was over.
