LITTLE POEMS OF WASHINGTON LIFE
A YOUNG SKEPTIC.

My Uncle Ned says. out t the Zoo
You know that owl saws ~yyhoo-or"
Well he says you walk right roun that Teller
And he'll keep those eyes so big and yeller
Right you! And you keen walkin, slow
And he'll twist his head off first thing Won know
An just give little kind O. cough
And that headll tumble right spang off,
He told me that out t the Zoo
But don't believe it, do you?
My Uncle Ned says, out t the Zoo
You know them birds goes ''Coo-coo-coor"
He says time, oh. a long time ago
Them doves was folks like Aunt En- and her bean
And they spooned they spooned till all they couId sa
Was Il love yOu-ou!" just that foolish way
I hope I'll never be that kind of folks
To turn into ring-doves, and have EN- make Jokes.
And sit all day saying 'Coo-coo-coo!"
But don't believe it, do you?
My Uncle Ned says. t the Zoo,
That great big unouse-coored kangaroo
Got out day and begun to hop,
And got to goin and couldn't STOP
And hoped up higher until he went
Right over the Washington Monument.
And scared the niggers and startled the town.
And they had to have bloom to git him down
That's what they had to do,
But l don't believe it, do you?
Ny Uncle Ned says, out t the Zoo
Some night We'll come jes me and you
And steal oil Dunk, and take him away
And feed him up your grandpa's hay,
And keep him hid out there t the farm
Where he can't possibly do any harm.
And then we'l take him TO far cline.
And have just the gorgeousest kind OF a time"
don't b'ieve he will, do you?
But ies let him think do

FRIDAY, JULY 2s. 1904.
Points on the Strike.

There are two questions for the
outside public 70 consider in connec-
ton with the meat strike. says Ernest
Poole in the Independent"
Should men be treated as mere ex-
pense items. or as fellow-workers and
fellow-sharers with the employer?
Shall an industry be developed for
the profit of the employer alone, or
shall the welfare of the workers be
considered of equal or even greater
Importance?
The unions point of view is easy to
understand, says Mr.. Poole, and he
states it thus:
"A month ago l asked Michael Dom
nelly, the unions president, whether
he would accept this threatened re-
duction of wage. He promptly an
swered, No; we cannot possibly ac-
cept it And yet John Mitchell has
accepted a reduction for his union l
said. The miners can do it, said
Donnelly. They had already forced
up their wages high enough so that
they could afford TO accept a slight
reduction, but how can you expect
these unskilled men TO do it-how can
you expect a man with a family to ac-
cept a reduction from S7.40 a week?'''
Mr.. Poole remarks that the trusts
point of view is equally easy TO IN
darcfanI an1
Yes, it is hard, l heard yesterday
from the superintendent of one large
packing house. 1t is hard that this
wage must be reduced. But it can't
be helped. It's simply the law of sup
ply and demand. Phe supply of labor
is steadily growing larger. Had you
come here last week at a. m. you
would have seen over 5 200 men look
ing for jobs. AS the depression
grows worse there will be 100 900 men
out of work in Chicago. They will
crowd out here They won't demand
1914 cents. They viii be glad to get
even Is cents. Why should we pay
more than We have to? We certainly
have the right to hire labor as cheap
as we can.
This is how one of the common la
borers answered the argument:
1t amt right. / have worked six
years for the packers. If they got
half shut down by the depression
then would have TO suffer, too. But
they amt shut down. They're dom
a big business. They're putin up
prices higher every year. Now. what
! want to know is, Amt l a part of
the show? If l am, why shouldn't |
get my share of their prosperity? At
any rate, why should l 90 down in
wages, just because the packers see a
chance to make still more money by
squeezing me?'"
Mr.. POole's questions bring to the
fore what is really the very essence
of the labor problem; that is, not the
economic relations between capital
and labor, upon which the false law
Of supply and demand lays its base,
but the ethical relations by means of
which business and right for all are
TO be determined.
The question really gets down TO
this: Is it right for one man TO feed
and fatten at the expense Of another
man, and, doing so, can he escape
condemnation by hiding behind a
specious argument Of economic neces-
sity. when in reality there is no ne
cessity at all, only greed? When in
the school yard we see a big boy
bullying a small boy we are indig-
nant. Is the game any nobler when
played by full grown men?
