Up.
Some of the Jokes That Have
Been Perpetrated on the
People Of Duluth.

The member of the Duluth Typo
tetae who gives out the information
that is published in their circulars
puts us in mind of the boy who whis-
tied to keep up his courage while
passing a graveyard at night. The
remains of many of the Typothetae
dead are strewn all over the land and
it is only by most superhuman ef-
fort that they can pass by their
graveyard. II one were following
close they would see a frightened
glance over the shoulder very fre-
quently as though they expected some
one of their departed friends to hold
up warning finger.
In a recent number of their per-
varicating circular occurs this para
graph:
''Our other members are firm, and
the strike Is looked upon as a huge
joke by those outside the printing
fraternity, and orders are being exc
cuted WITHOUT MUCH delay. Some
are as we'll of as before the strike"
1t seems to us that several weeks
ago they made practically the same
statement. The boy and the grave
yard is an apt illustration here. The

people have a peculiar way of crack

REAPING THE WHIRLWIND.

According to Chicago papers, that
city is overrGn by burglars, hold-up
men and other criminals, and the best
citizens are loud in their denuncia-
tion Of the conditions that exist But
the brazen effrontery sof some Of those
same kickers is refreshing. to say the
least. Last summer many OF these
gentlemen, as Manufacturers Associa-
tion members, Imported crooks, thieves,
loafers and specimens Of all the riff
raff Of this country generally into the
city as strike breakers. Into the hands
of this nondescript mob of criminals
the Manufacturers Association placed
weapons, induced the authorities to
decorate them with special po1icemen's 8
stars and turned them loose upon the
community. Now that many Of these
strike breakers are out Of a job, they
go back to their old craft, the criminal
business, and commit all sorts of dep
relations. And the same men, who,
as Manufacturers Association mem-
bers, paid their money to bring theso
criminals into Chicago, assemble now
as Commercial association" de-
nounce the reign of crime to which
they are accessories before the fact,
and endeavor to load their sins upon
the shoulders Of others. If the thieves
and thugs would only prey upon the
plutocratic scoundrels who imported
them 1t would be even handed justice
| but the trouble Is that the crooks make
| no distinction. That's all the more
reason why the Parryites should be
| regarded as tho worst enemies Of So
| ciety.

THE DIFFERENCE.

When the Parryite employer en-
ters a retail store to buy goods, he
pays, the price fixed by the merchant
and he pays it uncomplainingly. He
has no voice in fixing that price-is
not even consulted. In the purchase
of luxury or necessity it is just the
same-he pays the price. In the
purchase of raw material which his
ed product, he is not consulted as to
the price which is charged. The
right of the owner of the goods to
fix the price is undisputed
Many of the articles of merchan-
disc which he purchases are controll-
ed by, trusts, who fix the price at an
arbitrary and exorbitant figure, yet
the Parryite employer will pay that
price and say nothing. Or If he does
complain at the extortion of organiz-
ed capital; 1t is not nearly so loud
a voice as he denounces the efforts
of organized labor to maintain wages
at a standard of decent living. He
does nothing to circumvent the trusts
in their exorbitant charges, and he

An UNBIASED OPINION
OF THE PRINTERS STRIKE
Leading Catholic Weekly of
America Has Good Words
to Say Of Them.
The Typographical Union Will
Win in Spite Of Corpora r
ton Influence.

Thes C,atholf1sss Un10rt airu uf
Buffalo, N. r., Is easily the foremost
Catholic weekly publication in the
country. It's editor is, too, one Of
the most distinguished priests Of his
church. Owing no allegiance to pri-
vate interests Of any sort, and earn
est in It's mission for the spiritual and
moral uplifting Of the masses. the
Union and Times would naturally be
expected to sustain the cause of the
eight-hour workday.
That it does so in the case of the
strike of the union printers Is gen.
orally known; but of the uncompro-
missing and enlightened character Of
it's advocacy most people are, Of
course, ignorant. AS an indication
of how a truly religious journal re-
CARDS the demands of the printers,
the following extract from a recent
editorial, will prove interesting to the
readers Of the Labor World:
I'm these days of preponderating
corporation influence it is difficult
for the cause of organized labor to
get fair hearing in the daily press.
This hardship is more especially
felt when strike is on, and the con-
tention Of the striker would be en-
hanced by placing his side before the
public which is not directly concerned
and probably little interested in the
Issues involved.
IF the daily press is not openly or
covertly hostile. 1t is at best lukewark;
in any event it has no comfort for the
untonist. All Of this being so, when
a paper openly and fearlessly espouses
the side Of organized labor, it deserves
we'll of the vast body of wage-earners
who make up the ever increasing trade
union army. OF all the
strikes Buffalo has ever had, that of
the printers is the quietest and most
orderly; the strike has been in pro-
gress since October 1; and there has
been no breach of the peace, no noise
or disturbance-in fact, so far as the
public seems to know there might as
well be no strike on at all. For all
that, the contestants are in deadly
earnest. with the outcome apparently
in doubt. The Union and Times does
not hesitate to say that its sympathies
are with the eight-hour workday. 1t
Is long enough period of labor for
hands and brains that are earnestly
engaged, and gives no more than q
reasonable time for rest and recrea-
tion. The eight-hour day for printers
may not come on January 1st, though
it looks as If it will: but its advent
can not be long delayed, and 1t would
seem to be good policy for all concern
ed tc accept the inevitable and live in
amity."

DOWN WITH THE UNIONlST!

How One Class Of Employers Would
Treat Organized Workers.
At the annual convention of the Ma
tional Metal Trades, association held
at Chicago recently L. II. Colburn,
making his report 70 rthe Sixth Dis
trict, which has it's headquarters at
Franklin, Pa, said: I'm one of the
shops, formerly the Grant Tool Co.,
now known as the Shepherd Engineer
ing company, they have as their general
foreman a man who is president Of
the. local central labor, union and AN
srdent agitatort and unionist. We Corr
slider it a detriment~ to have such a
man in a position Of this kind, and
we hope the matter can be brought to
the Shepherd Engineering company in
a way that will convince them that they
should not put such men in responsible
positions. AS long as such men hold
positions of this kind they are a men,
ace to the other institutions in the To-
cality."
Now, If it had been a labor conven-
tion and it had been reported that a
certain firm was unfair and should be
boycotted, what howl there would be
from these same upholders Of American
liberty! They would send for Daniel
Davenport, Of Bridgeport, Conn.,, with
his anti-boycott association, of which
he is the whole works, to uphold liberty
and freedom. But the blacklisting Of
workmen is an altogether different
affair evidently. Of course. a union
man should not be in a responsible
position, because the union keeps him
down to the level Of the least efficient,
according to this class Of employers.
Fine incentive, a union man has to
raise himself to responsible position
when a lot Of manufacturers get to-
gether and plan how to get him dis
charged!-Luke Grant in Chicago

understand that these three classes
alike depend upon the public for sup.

of organized labor in our ranks This

to these the friends and sympathizers
