Deficit Growing.

The ever-incrcasing postal deficit is
shown TO he still larger during
the year covered in the report and the
estimates for the two years follow
ing make allowance for still greater
increase. The deficit for 1908 was 81
650.044.73. an increase of 81 ,622. 394.9
over 1902. For 1904 it * estimated il
will be S7.2O6.9O6. and for 1905 S.
613, 7O9.2s.
\ large part of the report is de-
voted to the subject of the betterment
of the conditions of the employees in
the service. An extract follows:
As stated in my last annual report.
the department had been endeavoring
during the fiscal year ending June 50.
| 1902. to better. wherever possible. the
conditions of the postal employees.
especially so in the cases of clerks in
postoffices. there having been. in my
opinion. very great inequalities and in
| Justice in the compensation of this
class of employees. TO remedy this
| inequality more than 1000 clerks
were promoted during the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1903. nearly all of
whom were receiving less than $1,000
| per year compensation, and il was the
intention Of the department to contin-
ne this equalization and promotion
in the lower grades of clerks during
the fiscal year ending June 30. 1903,
but for reasons hereinafter stated it
was found impossible to do 50. much
to my regret. In order to enable the
| department to deal in practical way
with this subject. | earnestly recon-
mend that congress make lump
sum appropriation for clerks in first
and second class postoffices, instead
of appropriating for clerks by grades

MITCHELL ON TRADES UNlONISM

The trade union has given the work
ing man more money, more leisure.
greater safety and better conditions of
work and life. The average working
man now leaves his work an hour or
two earlier than formerly.
There Is more money in his pay en-
velope and the mill or factory in which
he tolls is better lighted. better heated,
better safeguarded and in every way
better to work In.
All these things lie on the surface.
There are other things, however, deep
err and more important. Man does not
live by bread alone, n the trade
union has helped to workingman spir
itually as well as physically.
1t has taught workingmen to act to-
gether. to unite for a common end, to
make joint sacrifices, to abide by the
will Of the majority, to struggle against
great odds for the sake of an idea. II
has taught workingmen that they are
all related to one another and it has
preached and practiced solidarity.
Workingmen are now united where
they once Were disunited. 1t is no

worked when and where and how their
masters decreed. AT another time they
were serfs, attached to the sail and
disposed of with the land-like an old
farm building.
1t was only later h a they worked
for whom they wished and at what
wages they could obtain, though even
! then 1t sometimes happened that the
law forbade them to ask for more than
SO many farthings for their days
work.
At the present time the trade union
is necessary to the real freedom of the
workingman. During the latter part
of the eighteenth century and the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century there
occurred one of the greatest revolu-
tons in the history of the world. 1t
was a silent movement. The newspa-
pers did not speak of it and the wise
men of the time did not know that 1t
was happening.
The revolution changed manufacture
ing. introduced the steam engine and
turned little workshops, where the
master worked with the journeyman
and apprentice at the same bench, In
to huge factories, where one man holds
dominion over thousands of employees.
In the older time the employer and
his journeymen We're on fairly U
terms. 1t was a case of man against
man. and master and man knew each
other, for the master had been a jour-
newman and the journeyman hoped to
become a master.
All this is now changed. The en-
ployer can no longer know all the men
in his employ, and few, If any, of these
men can hope or expect to become EN-
p~loyers. Each w~orkingman is depend
ent on his employer for his job, but the
EMPLOYER can dispense with any one Of
the thousand men in his establish
ment.
If there is no union the condition OF
all w~orkingmen tends to become that
Of the poorest in the establishment. If
the working men are to be protected at
all, they can be so only by joining to-
gether in a union and by making a
contract for all.
Trade unionism stands for the right
Of all workmen in an industry to de-
fend the interests of all.
Those who oppose trade unions do so
on the ground that they are defend
ing the freedom of contract. The free
dom that they defend is that of a bill
ion dollar trust contracting with a
single Polish or Italian laborer. The
freedom for which the union stands is
hat of all the employers in an indus
ny contracting on equal terms with
Ill the workingmen.
The first freedom means sweating,
poverty and the destruction of the
poor; the second freedom means in
creased wages, shorter hours, better
conditions of work. moral elevation of
the workingmen and amicable rela-
tions between employers and employ
