employer of labor and, incidentally,
to the detriment of the labor union
itself; to degree, to the detriment
of unionism and the injury of peo-
pie in general. But, with body
composed of men whose general av-
erage OF intelligence is on par
with that of their leaders, such work
is impossible and is never attempt
ed. No move is made by the l. 7.
y. which has not first received the
careful and enlightened considera-
ton of every member. There is
little laundering and no rashness.
1t is not intelligent unionism that
capital has to fear, and capital is
realizing this. There are unions in
which the walking delegate is by no
means supreme. There are unions
which understand that more can be
gained by cooperation with the en-
ployer than by coercion, whether
the latter seems successful or not.
Such union is the typographical
union. If some of the organizations
lower in the scale of intelligence
can be brought up to its mental,
moral and patriotic standard, the
time will come when the country
will have nothing to fear from un-
ionism = when unionism and the
forces of law and order will never
come into conflict.

That Georgia Burning.

Speaking of that inexcusable hor-
ror III Georgia-the burning of two
negroes who were already under
sentence of death for murder-Col-
lier's Weekly says:
The darkest fears are justified
by so gross, cruel, and unwarrant-
ed a case of lynching as this. 1t
almost makes us believe that Prof.
James may have been right when
he foresaw burning at the stake on
Boston Common. We know moth
ing in the contemporary history of
the world more discouraging. Cru
city in Russia leaves us at least the
refuge of belief that it may cease
with the ignorance of the people
and the false system of government.
The Georgia disgrace is without
one redeeming ray of light. Even
the photographer was present here
to give the last touch of grotesuue
horror to the tragic satire. 1t was
undiluted hatred and love of Grim
inal excitement. To compare il
with the Spanish Inquisition would
be unjust, for the Inquisition had a
motive at least. The trial of these
negroes had been prompt and their
day of execution was near. The
brother OF the man they shot begged
the tigerish human beings to allow
the law TO take its course. The
crowd merely refused to miss the
fun. The time may come when
some hopeful side may be seen once
more. For the present it makes US
look upon the future with discour.

NEGRO BOYS ARE
DARING IN CRIME
WALTER FUSE AND MATTHEW
puNsToN CHARGED WITH BUR-
GLARY-cHoKED \ LITTLE BOY
AND A YOUNG LADY.

Various acts of lawiessness have been
committed by the negro boys Of Birming-
ham in the past few days, but none has
equalled In daring those Of Walter Fuse
and Matthew Dunston, aged IA and 10
years, respectively. which were commit
ted Monday night.
Burglaries have been frequent in the
city, but never before have two negro
boys under the ages Of 10 dared to enter
three houses in the same night, and ac-
tually choke individuals in their efforts to
commit burglary.
The first house entered was that of
T. M. Stone at S1S North Twentieth
street, where little Robert Stone was
choked to prevent his calling for help. 1t
was here that Fuse was captured in the
act of rafting one of the bureau draw
ers, and Judge Feagin yesterday bound
him over to the criminal court on a
charge Of burglary and grand larceny
A short while afterwards a burglar was
discovered in the residence of Fred
Mauser at 202S Eighth avenue. where Miss
Lizzie Mallett was choked by negro boy.
This boy was caught about $3.50 O'Clock
yesterday morning by Detectives Bodeker
and Hamilton, who had traced him TO
West Highlands, station on the North
knsley car line. Fuse was used by the
detectives to aid in tracing his partner
2 he detectives were assisted by Policemen
Kellar and Parker.
Yesterday morning Miss Mallett identi-
fed Dunson as the negro who had choked
her, and he was bound over to the Grim
inal court on two charges. Both of the
boys have been before Judge Feagin in
the past, and were sent to the country
on probation. In accordance with the
judges plan, the second time they were
arrested they were sent to jail to serve
out their term. Dunston was sent to a
PHYSICIANS home at Berry, Ala, but es-
capped and beat his way on freight train
to Memphis, later coming to Birmingham.
1t seems that Miss Mallett, who is Wis
iting her sister, and brother-in-law, was
left alone at the house for a few min
utes last night. She heard noise in her
bed room and went back to investigate,
when she faced a negro, who was rifiing
the contents of the bureau drawers and
her trunk. The negro jumped at her,
clasped both hands around her throat.
and was choking her when Mr.. Mauser
returned home. The negro jumped
through the bath room window and es-
capped. He was later caught and arrested.
