The Disdain For Manual Toll In Al
most Universal.
There has never been any reason ex-
cept superior smartness which has JUS
titled the brain worker in eXactng for
. what he does share of the proceeds
so wholly disproportionate over the one
who labors with his hands. The result
of putting the premium on mental rath-
err than manual labor has been to over
crowd these callings with many who
are unfit to render the world real serv-
ice even If they are not more in num-
Der than the world requires IN such
fields. The economic equilibrium has
always been disturbed because manuel
labor has been degraded. Many who
might be useful in manual labor are
forced to live by their wits. This phrase
is only IL cuphcmism for parasitesm.
The disdain for manual toll is SO uni
versal that almost no men work this
way who can win a living otherwise.
Yet manual labor is necessary not only
to the support of the race, but for the
physical welfare of the Individual We
should not have half 50 much of this
50 called nervous prostrati0n If the vic
tins had cultivated little first hand
acquaintance with mother ealth IN
ministcring to their own nearest and
imperative wants with their own
hands. In spite OF the fact that physi-
cal labor is thought TO be severcr than
mental. the longevity Of the two offers
whatever of choice there is to the Ia
borer.
We all preach that intellectual cul-
tllre is its own reward, and then we
not only give large measure of mate
rial things to him who hath this
rich mental endowment, but we listen
without seeing the inconsistency to
plutitudes of this sort and then see the
preachers and teachers of this doctrine
reaching out themselves for all the
emoluments they can command. in
the sweat OF thy face shalt thou eat
bread" is not curse. but blessing,
and 1t is one not to be enjoyed VI
cariolsly. There is nothing about
which the human race is more gener-
ally and consciously hypocritical than
in this palaver over the dignity of la
Dor. If we paid as we talk the scale OF
wages in the world would be upset,
but 1t isn't n foregone conclusion that
work would be any the worse done.

MANS BlRTHRlGHT.
Is He Born Free, or Is Freedom,
Something to BE Wont

IL He Born Free, or In Freedom
Something to BE Wont
DR.. Gunsaulus, head Of the Armour
Institute of Technology, Chicago, re-
Gently delivered baccalaureate adj
dress before the graduating class, in
which he said:
"Freedom is something to be won.
Men are not born free. Every power
into whose control man comes is a
conquered freedom. There are no
equals in this universe of Gods. God
is no socialist"
Let us take now, for example, the ex-
act opposite of this statement, and we
have the following:
Freedom Is natural to man. Men
are born free. Every power into whose
control man comes is his master be-
cause he chooses to make it such.
There is 10 inequality in the sight Of
God. God Is, in this sense, u socialist"
Which do you think comes nearest
the truth, the paragraph of the doc
tors or its opposite? 1t is not a matter
of surprise to us to find that wide cur
rency is given to the unusual statement
of the head Of the Armour institute,
and 1t is refreshing TO note that few, II
any. noted critics agree with the emf
nent divine in his Miners
Magazine.

THE STRIKING Transfer.

Right For His Lights.
The teamster holds the strategic point
In the battle between labor and emf
ployer. You can see him any day in
the rush and jam Of tsc downtown
street, an Irish American, rough, swag
gering, big hearted, honest. He is up
In life now, but four years ago lie was
decidedly down. His wage and hours
were like those of the sweatslop vic
tim on whom so mitch sympnthy has
been rightly poured. Thousands of
transfers worked from $50 Il. IN. until
1880 p. M, and their wages averaged
from So to $40 a week. There was this
difference between item and the sweat
shop victims: Society, Willie ii sweated
the wrctched tailor, taught him to lie
down and die. 1t taught the tcamster
to strike back. His whole waking life
was an endless fight for precedence.

police gave up making arrests, for

given him--"the toughest, toughest

At odd moments upon his box he
read the newspapers. About 1900 he
began to read more c,osp!Y and said
things harder when interrupted. He
grew absorbed in the coal trust, the
oil trust, the steel trust ard n score of
other capitalistic combines. Soon after
he began TO read every morning the
story of some new labor combine ere

DEMANDS OF LABOR.
All 1t Asks Is Fair Share of What
1t Produces,

The struggle of labor is for Il fair
share of what it produces and for
manly independence, making the work
man Independent of everything save
his duty to give a fair days work for
fair pay. Such are the demands Of
labor, and the man who does not ell
dure these demands is Il menace to both
employee and employer. Wendell Phil
lips said, II hail the labor unions as
our only hope for democracy"
Contrary to general belief, labor
unions are not the creation of an hour,
year or 100 years, but are tue nat
ural growth of natural laws. Strikes
are not the creation Of the twentieth
century conditions, neither are they the
result of unions, for since historic times
we have accounts OF strikes; first,
Egypt and Persia, then Greece and
Rome. Then the scene is transferred
to England. where in 1881, history
tells us, Wat Tylers jnsurrection &C.
Cured as tie result of the rich trying
to force down the price Of labor, but
at that time laborerS were not consd-
cred as men, and even Shakespeare
speaks of Iaborers as fragments. Yet
from the uniting of these same frag-
ments has sprung n branch of one OF
the most benevolent associations of the
world.-Freight and Baggageman.

CHINESE CHEAP LABOR.
Newest scheme For Its Admission
Into This Country.

Into This Country.
The following item is clipped from
Gunton's Magazine for the current
month and is self explanatory:
- new scheme has just been devised
in California for amending the Chinese
exclusion act Ii will be remembered!
that this law was passed especially to
please California, but il certain class
of fruit growers and farmers in Cali
forna want to admit the Chinese SO
as to procure cheap labor. The new
scheme is to permit Chine Sc laborers 10
come to the country, but to forbid
them going to the cities and permit
them TO remain only from three to four
years.
"This is the worst botched effort to
get cheap labor yet announced. If the
Chinese or any other immigrants are
fit to come to the country ut all they
are fit to have the full benefit of. all
the conditions the country affords. If
they are not fit to enter orr cities and
not fit to stay more than five years and
not fit to be citizens they are not fit
to come to the country at all. Any In
lustry that cannot prosper without re-
course to such methods can very well
be spared

THE SCAB LIKE THE TURTLE
Neither One Nor the Other Learns
by Experience.

biologists tell us that the turtle is
the only animal that never learns any
ding by experience. If you put red
hot poker in front of a turtle he will
walk straight up to 1t and burn his
feet or nose. No matter low often he
gets burned. the turtle never learns to
avoid the redhot poker. The brain Of
4 turtle is smaller than the brain of u
mouse and much less active.
Now, "scab' is simply human
turtle. He Is creature who never
learns by experience. Although non
unlonism has never raised wages or
shortened hours, and although union
ism has always done both of these, the
turtle workman never gets wise. he
continues TO refuse TO bear a part OF
lie social burden and fights for the
light to bear his own heavy burden all
alone. The turtle is not the most stu
pid animal in the world.
