unioniSn applics bic to men and women
alike
The men have no voice in the con-
tract OF labor which the women work
ers may make. 1t would be folly for
them 10 assume the entire responsible
ity for their protection, even if they
were able 10 do so. Instead, the women
are allowed TO become members of the
unions on equal terms with the men
and must learn the same lessons of
mutual assistance and support. In no
other American institution do women
receive strf justice and equality
than is given them In the labor oraan-
izations- The continuation of this pol
icy is insured by the fact that IL is due
as much TO economic necessity and the
nature and aims OF trade unionism as
to sentiment.
Many causes have combined to
make ii difficult for women to take
the first step toward organization
While. as Professor Mason has shown,
they have fostered the industrial arts
since the dawn of civilization, they
have worked in the isolation of the
family unit AS this writer says, In
cooperation women have always been
weak. There are few duties that they
have in common. Even as beasts Of
burden they seldom worked in pairs. :"
Nor was this lack of industrial COM
bination replaced by any other form
of combination through which they
might gain social consciousness or a
realization of the power of united ac-
ton. Nowadays the women seem TO
be making up for lost time in the way
Of organization. Possibly the vast
number of women's clubs have an
other than the cultural and social sig
nificance which they claim. They
may be important factors in social
evolution, in that they help develop
the deficient social consciousness in
women and prepare them for the
share in our highly organized indus
trial and political life which all the
present tendencies seem to make in
evltable.
The San Francisco call., 1904-11-13

English trades unionists with the ex-
ception of the Lancashire weavers
have been far more reluctant about ad-
mitting women to their unions than the
American.
That in this, as in coeducation. the
influence of the Western States of the
Union has been potent is suggested by
the fact that in 1870 the Granger asso-
Citations of Western farmers announced
that no grange should be organized or
exist without women as members, as
we'll as by the large number and full
recognition of women trade unionists
in both Chicago and San Francisco.
While women have been admitted
to membership in the older, more con-
servative mems unions for over twen-
ty years, their greatest advance in
numbers and influence has been dur
ing thelast ten years. To-day women
not only sit as members in the central
labor unions of the great cities, but
also exercise the full rights of dele
gates in the American Federation of
Labor. They have not received such
recognition in any. other national or
ganization of men,
complete faith in a wise use of what
ever power they may help put into
the hands of women is proven by the
adoption of the following resolution
in favor of woman's suffrage which
was introduced by Vice President
Duncan at the 1908 meeting:
Resolved, That the best interests
of labor require the admission of
women TO full citizenship as a matter
of justice 10 them and us a necessary

with educational requirements which

KUBELIK LOSES.
His Suit Against Critic for Damages
Is Dismissed.

Berlin, June 11.-''Suit dismissed with
costs for the plaintiff was the YER
dict of the court yesterday at Frank
fort-on-the-M Main in the suit which
Kubelik. the violinist, brought against
Dr.. Gehrmann, the music critic OF the
Frankferter Zeitung, for what the Vlo-
linist deemed insulting personalities in
criticisms of his concerts. DR.. Gehr-
mann described Kubelik as a stupid
looking man." (bloede dreinschauen-
DEM or superfine effect, EFF
Terminate appearance" and spoke of
him also as a specialist and miracle
worker who produces nothing but
tones"
The proceedings turned partly upon
the meaning of the word "blOede,
which experts testified was used in
North Germany in the sense of shy
or 'expressionless" and the court noted
that DR.. Gehrmann came from Berlin
to Frankfort But Herr Schwarzchild,
Kubelik's lawyer, saw in the word that
offensive personalities characterizing
Berlin musical criticism were being in
trOduced.
The Frankfort lawyer also objected
to the word specialist" which he
claimed was only applicable to a varie-
ty performer. DR.. Gehrmann's defense
of the word "blOede" was that he only
meant to say that Kubelik riveted his
eyes on one spot when playing. The
presiding judge then took a hand in
the proceedings and pointed that he
possessed a pamphlet written against
Wagner during the great composers
life time and designed to prove that
Wagner was crazy. Yet Wagner never
once brought suit against his critics
The judge also claimed that Kubelik
invited criticisms on his personal ap-
pearance by having full length photo
graphs of himself displayed in shop
windows as advertisements.
Exports who were called testified that
Kubelik possessed astonishing tech
nique, but that he aimed more at eter-
nal efforts than artistic depth His
whole programme was arranged with
the view of displaying virtuosity.
The court in explaining the reasons
for the dismissal of the suit said the
word Specialist" was justified, since
Kubelik cultivated the breakneck
feats of a Paganini." adding, 1T is now
customary for critics to describe the
personal appearance of artists for their
readers who were not present at the
concert, and Kubelik probably would
have been better satisfied if the per-
sOnal description had been more f1atter-
ing.s'
The court also said that the express
sion 'bloede" was not insulting and
added:
IF Kubelik had a crooked nose and
the critic mentioned it, that would not
been an insult. The verdict of the
court is, therefore, acquittal"

DAY IN THE MOUNTAINS
How Party of Excursionists En-
joyed an Outing.

Lincoln, Kan. June 1.-THE Union
Pacific Denver excursion party from
the towns including Lincoln and west
to Oakley on the Saline & Oakley
branch, left Lincoln on time and reach
ed Colby in time to hear of a big wash
out on the main line in Colorado.
The excursion train reached Colby
about 10 o'clock at night with about
1000 eXcursiOniStS aboard After sit
ting up in the cars all night at the
Colby depot orders came for the train
crew to take the passengers home, and
at every town where any passengers
got aboard the money was refunded.
There were 178 tickets sold at the Lin
coin depot.
When the return train reached the
depot here, the Lincoln cornet band
met them and gave them a delightful
serenade and return home. Heading
the procession of tiredout excursionists
the band played There Will be a Hot
Time in the Old Town" and when the
band and Disguised eXcurSiOniStS reach
ed the business portion of Lincoln the
band changed its tune to Home, Sweet
Home.
A great crowd of people were await
ing the return of the excursionists, and
the cheers and hurrahs were almost
deafening. 1t was an incident long to
be remembered. Just the night before
it was one of the merriest and hap
piest crowds that ever left Lincoln for
an outing in the snOw-capped peaks
of the Rocky Mountains. They got $50
miles from home, and were packed into
the coaches like sardines. and while
they were patiently awaiting the or
ders for the train to proceed westward
there came the orders in the morning
to return on account of about 80 miles
of washout on the main line in Color
ado.
There is one consolation and that is
the 178 excursionists got to see the
country between Lincoln and Colby for
nothing.

coaches. Almost Immediately the work
of loading the men began. They were
marched to the train between heavy
lines of militia and deputies. A crowd
of fully 1000 people had collected to see
the men placed on board. Among the
spectators were wives and sisters.
fathers and mothers of the depOrted
men, and the scenes were affecting,
mothers, sisters and sWeethearts cried
goodbye and tried to push through the
lines for a parting handshake. Most of
the women had been allowed to see
their relatives at Armory hall before
the men were marched out.
Mayor Harrison of this city had been
apprised OF the decision to depOrt the
men and Immediately took steps to
see that none of them landed in Colo
RADIO Springs. Under mis- instructions a
large force of officers and deputy
sheriffs met the special train at 6:1O
last evening for that purpose. No at
tempt was made however to unload the
men here, arrangements having been
