tributing Socialist Literature Among
tho Cigarmakers.

CHICAGO, June 16.-The hostility
between the socialists and their OPP
ponents In the Cigarmakers' union Fri
day night caused a personal encount-
| er between John Sishine, socialist,
and George J. Thompson, a leader in
the organization and member Of the
| board Of education. Siskine took ad-
| vantage of the Brands hall meeting of
all branches of the cigarmahers to dis
tribute copies of socialist publications.
You cannot do that here" said
Thompson. This Is a session of a
labor organization, and we will not
permit politics to be brought in.''
Following up the socialist, Thomp-
son then tried to gather up the Htera-
ture he had scattered. Siskine object
ed. Thompson, it is said knocked him
down. Then the business Of the eve
ming went on without any more Soc
ialism.
The Cigarmakers are contemplating
holding convention, the first in eight
years, and the socialists are charged
with planning to secure the delegates

Employers Opinion. of Union Men

Employers Opinion. Of Union Men.
We don't vouch for this: A well
known employer Of Dayton, O., who re-
alizes that organized labor is a benefit
to the worker, and who desires the
friendship of unions, taught some of
his employees practical lesson by post
ing a notice that on and after April 80
those of his employees who could not
producea clear card in the union of
their occupation would be paid at non-
union rates, $3.50 less than the union
rate. In his opinion good union men
are worth the difference to him in his
business -.

SOME SOUND. ADVICE
A Fair Days Pay Should Bring a Fair
Days Work.
From the Rochester, N. Y. Labor


Days Work.
From the Rochester, N. Y, Labor
Journal:
Samuel Parks, the weak and faith
less labor leader who was sent to Sing
Sing prison for extortion and who died
there, should have learned wisdom
from Frank Buchanan, president of
the international Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers. Fair
minded employers certainly cannot find
fault with the views of Mr.. Buchanan.
While zealously upholding the interests
of his constituents in all cases, as every
true labor leader always will, he is a
man Of temperance and judgment.
He does not entertain the silly and
costly belief that the highest inter-
ests Of workingmen are served by per-
petual warfare, but realize that labor
and capital have vast interests in COM
mon. We fancy he has quite as much
courage as he has conservatism, and
he does not hesitate to point out
abuses within the unions any more
than he hesitates to resist abuses aim
ed against the unions from without. In
his official address to the local unions
of New York he says:
Select men on their merits to rep
resent you and see that the unions
dictate to them instead of letting
them dictate to the unions. Our as
sociation should keep agreements in
violate. A fair agreement means a
fair days pay for a fair days work.
The men who are trying to use the
unions to hold their jobs when they
are unwilling to do a fair days work
in 4 workmanlike manner are enemies
| to the principles that trade unionism
is founded upon,e5 and an organization
that will permit its strength to be used
for such purposes will come to grief in
the end"
| This is brave talk and true, and the
! best members of all unions (and we
| would have it understood that theset
members are not in the minority will
applaud his utterance heartily.
| The one weakness of labor unions
today is the difference Of the many
members, which is taken advantage OF
| by the few. Just as great cities elect
bad officeholders because thousands of
honest voters neglect to attend the
polls, so trades unions go astray
through the Vaccinations of the radi-
| cal and evil-minded.
! The most successful union, the most
| influential union is invariably that in
which meetings are nu1nerously at
! tended, and everyone takes an active
interest in the welfare of the body
If shining example is wanted, it is
found in the United Mine Workers OF
America. Mr.. Buchanan's words carry
a valuable message to the members OF
seYery great bors unionsin America.

MADRID, June 16.-The coffinmak-
ers of Malaga, masters as we'll as

King ran for the gates, drawing his
revolver as he fed. The mob in
creased in numbers and fairly show
cred the negro with stones. Among
the mob was Matt Sullivan, a deputy
sheriff. Sullivan made no effort to
quell the riot, but instead took part
in the chase. Finally arriving at the
gates King made a stand and raising
his revolver fired rapidly at the mob.
At the first few shots the pursuers
came to halt and began to scatter.
Sullivan fell with a bullet wound in
his thigh and close by him Lameska
;limped away with a bullet in his
ankle. King emptied his revolver
while the mob scattered, fleeing in
all directions. 1t all occurred within
a minute or two when squad of po-
lice reached the scene, most of the
men had escaped. Sullivan, Lameska,
King, Andy Bidho, George Bulowich
and John Nicholson were arrested, the
last three for throwing stones.

Ais that come from coffee are

To begin WITH" says a Kansan, II
