THE LOCK STEP.

From the New York Sun:
The three met in the park last Sun
day. and, lighting weeds seated them
the conversation became f1uent, or un-

THE LONGEST NATION

From Harper's Weekly.
The longest convention in our po-
litical history was the Democratic ma
tional convention which met at
Charleston, South Carolina, in 1860. At
the end of ten days it had accompo-
lished nothing, and adjourned to meet
in Baltimore. Even when the majority
of the candidates re-convened at the
last named city, they needed four days
to nominate Stephen A. Douglas. In
1868, the Democratic national conven-
ton met in Tammany hall, New York,
on the 4th Of July, which fell on Sat
urday. It did not begin balloting until
the following Tuesday, and it was not
until Thursday that the convention
was stampeded for Horatio Seymour.
In 1892 the Democratic national con-
vention, which nominated Mr.. Cleve-
land for the third time was in session
three days. Neither was it until the
third day that Mr.. Bryan was nomi-
mated by the Democratic national con-
vention which met in Chicago four
years later. The Kansas City conven-
ton also sat for three days, although.
after, the platform was carried through
the committee on resolutions by one
vote, MT. Bryan had everything his
own way. -..: -.

STEEL CORPORATION NAV
FIGHT STEEL WORKERS

CLEVELAND, O., July 21.-The
United States Steel corporation has
evidently decided to give the Ama1ga-
mated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers a final knockout blow. The
steel hoop mills in Youngstown have
been closed. the finishers paid off and
discharged, and they are to be re-
employed as Individuals provided they
consent to work in an open shop and
accept reduction of wages avera ging
about Is per cent. Next week Satur-
day the trust will make it's final de-
mand for a. reduction from the tin
plate workers, and if they refuse to
make the concession the mills be closed
Nearly one hundred union tin-plate
mills Of the steel trust are now >closed,
although most Of the non union mills
are working. A New York dispatch
says the trust did fine business in the
tin-pl:te industry during the past
year. But still the plutes want more
graft.

If every strike that takes place could
justly and incontrovertibly be attribute
ed to the so-called labor agitator, that
fact would not prove the charge that
trade unionism encourages strikes,
that it is essentially strike institu-
ton. The only way In which that
charge can be proven lies in proving
that strikes do not occur, taht strikes
never have occurred, among morgan
lied workers. Even if this hypothet-
ical state Of affairs could be proved as
fact, it would still remain to be
demonstrated that the non-existence Of
strikes among unorganized workers is
due to the contentment Of those work.
ers with the conditions under which
they labor, not to their inability to
strike, either through lack of Initiative
among themselves or through fear Of
external Influences.

Iitically in demanding public owner

That is true. But the legal power
expressed in private title and it's pro-
lection TO private monopoly Of a fac
tory is just as invasive or unjust In
nature, if not in degree, as the legal
power expressed in a franchise to pri-
vate monopoly Of a railroad.

BUILD A STREET RAILWAY.

The Duluth street railway Is most
assuredly pursuing short sighted
policy in refusing to build loop at
Twenty-third avenue East. The COM
pany is exciting the wrath and indig-
nation of most dangerous element in
this city. The rabble, that element Of
discomfort Of which the Labor World Is
q part, may clamor with poor effect for
the municipal ownership Of the street
railways, but when the nabobs become
aroused something will surely follow.
Unite the two elements IL, one cause,
and that cause will triumph.
The refusal Of the street railway
company to satisfy the wishes of a fair
people has prompted them to look for
relief elsewhere. The first thing they
did was to look up the franchise Of the
company. Here they found a piece OF
bungled up legislation which is dis
grace to the legislature that granted it,
and a discredit to the men who Sec
ured 1t. 1t seems that the people were
entirely ignored in the consideration OF
the franchise, and so no relief could
be- secured from this source. The

HEADS YOU WIN; TAILS LOSE!


Heads you win; Tails I lose!" said
a workingman to capitalist the
other morning, when asked how he
liked the Democratic party since It
again flopped on the labor question.
There is a good deal in this. The
workingman had reference to the ac-
ton Of both Of the cid parties in re-
cent national conventions. A refer
ence to the labor planks shows that
the disposition to trim organized labor
is manifested in every word.
Just think Of the brazenous of the
Republican party; its references to
la5or's desires; it's lack Of sympathy
for the workingmen in their attempt
to amellorate the conditions Of all men
who labor Here is what the platform
of tn, Republican party says about
organizations:
Combinations Of capital and Of
labor are the results Of the eco.
nonic movement of the age, but
neither must be permitted to in"
finae upon the rights and interests
of the people. Such combinations,
when lawfully formed for lawful
purposes, are alike entitled to the
protection Of the laws, but both
are subject to the laws. and neith-
er can be permitted to bresk them.
This sounds like so much taffy
handed out to the public. 1t Is true
that every good citizen stands for the
strictest observance of the law. Every
Ia ,or union wants the law observed.
No doubt the Western Federation OF
Miners would be glad to stand on this
declaration, were they assured that
they would be accorded the same
rights as their prosecutors. Inc
nlank promises nothing. 1t recognizes
the ia ct that organization Is the result
of the economic movement OF the age
and there it stops. Nothing tangible
is offered. No assurance is given la
Dor that legislative remedies will be
given by Republican congress, any
more than in the past. No labor}ne
man can expect much encouragement
from the Republican party at this
election.
Then the Democratic party is no bet
ter It is worse If anything. 1t fails
to recognize that organization IS the
natural result Of economic develop
ment. Just listen to its labor declara-
ton:
We favor the enactment and ad-
ministration Of laws giving labor
and capital impa rtialy their just
riohts. Capital and labor ought not
to be enemies. Each is necessary
to the other. Each has its rights,
but the rights Of labor are GER
tzinIy no less "vested," no less
"sacred" and no less "inaIienable"
than the rights of capital.
Is this not botched up piece OF
trimming? Is this not an Insult 10 the
intelligence of labor? All that con-
gress ever pretended to do for the last
century was to enact laws giving capi-
tai and labor equal rights. Labor
wants nothing more now than fair
chance. It wants national eight
hour law; an anti-iniunction law ana
several more such laws, which capital
imagires would be detrimental to It's
interests. Is there any hope for labor
III the Democratic party as at present
controlled?
The workingman who votes either of
the old party tickets will be in the
same position as the man who tossed
the copper, when his opponent said:
..Feads I win: Tails you lose."
