Would you believe that it is a
daily occurrence for me to see brake

their trains, like a dog, "hoboes"

laborers, who have been placed up

acter of the union from a capitalistic
craft union to one which means the

Tell me that; then you will have rid

We are not only fighting the cor
porations, and the non-union men
but the pity of it all, our fellow EN-
ployees, due to a very defective sys-
TEN (if not worse) of trades union.
Most of the employees of other
crafts, it is true, sympathize with
us, but that is cold comfort; what
we want now is action-federated
action, and not sympathy to win
this strike. We are a long ways
from that.
This is the second time that /
have been in strike on this road, and
what a contrast and retrogressiop
this strike is to that of 1894, under
the leadership of Comrade Debs in
the A. X. U., trouble, when we were
all federated together, from the sec
tionman to the engineer (if you will
excuse the expression) and which
ended in the complete capitulation
of Jim Hill, who himself remarked
that the mountaineers in Montana
are together so well, that you can't

this was the only and most complete

Beattie Stand
UpandExp1ain

f. w. Beattie, the United States
surveyor general in Montana, legis-
lative agent for the Amalgamated
Copper Company and the Jim Hill
railroad companies, also chief lieu
tenant of Tom Carter, was the au-
thor of the petition to the council in
opposition to issuing a saloon H.
cense on Park and 9th Ave. 1t so
happens that Beattie owns some prop
erty on Clore street where nocturnal
festivities are the occasion of high
rents for very small but lively quart
ers.
1t is queer, isn't it1 Ask Beattie
about it. We wonder if Beattie OBJ
jects to the close proximity of the
Bucket of Blood" saloon to his
Clore street property. If one, why
not the other.
During the summer of 1904 it was
discovered that there was something
rotten in the u. S. marshaPs Office,
that money had been stolen, that
false vouchers had been filed, that
deputy u. S., marshal had charged
mileage when travelling on passes,
that this same u. S., deputy marshal
had charged for assistant guards
when none had been employed, that
same deputy had accumulated thous-
ands of dollars while receiving legit-
imately only a moderate salary.
1t was investigated by special agent
of the government. and this and
other deputies resigned. Yet moth
ing was said in any Montana papers
and no one was prosecuted by the
government. The u. S., district
attorney undoubtedly has now, or
did have the report of the special
agent yet he did nothing to prosecute
these embezzlers. We ask why

rade Debs advice to make haste
slowly"
! am we'll satisfied that the de-
crease in the ranks of organized la
Dor given by your quotation of sta
tistics in proof thereof, emanates
more largely, from a universal dis
content among the union men and
workers generally, on account of
apparent inefficietcy and corruption
pregnant in the Gompers unions,
than to the lessening of jobs.
Candidly | think that if some of
the Socialist editors, who, | think
are sincerely combating the new
industrial movement, and whose un-
ionism has been confined to typo
graphical union experience, which
heretofore has met with little, or no
opposition, by the capitalist class,
or even in unions embodying So
called skilled OF professional crafts,
could be reduced to the ranks of
railroad unionism, which is unionism
de facto, or with vengeance; where
to take part in organized labor means
the bounding over the country via
the railroad blacklist, with the same
degree of efficiency that the peniten-
tiary Dlood-hounds seek a murderer,
think they would realize the neces-
sity of industrial unlonism.
However, | am rather constrained
to think, that some of our Socialist
editors, are prone to let their per-
sonal prejudices stand in the way of
working class interests.
Why is it Comrade Warren, that
Eugene V. Debs stands in the labor
world without a blemish? For the
reason that when the time arrives.
and upon all occasions, he is will
ing to meet friend and enemy alike,
in the interest of the working class.
Note his manly action at the late in
dustrial union. in the midst of his
supposed enemies.
The time has long past Comrade
Warren, when we Socialist must re-
fuse to point out fearlessly, and with
an unerring hand, defects, foolhardi-
ness, and even unscrupulousness in
the labor unions on the ground of
sympathy for the union" The

Why would the concentration of

men that were working for him, l
told him that his wishes were moth
ing to me, but inquired if he forbade
me to go through the mill. He re-
piled that he did, and | told him l
would see thtt the men were inform
ed that he wished to interfere with
what they listened to, or any Discus
sion of politics. He said all right,
and | went on distributing my bills
to the different houses. Sitting in
the shade of a saloon, were four
men whom / approached to give
bills to. One of them was the gen
eral manager of the company,
though of course unknown to me.
He said he wanted me to go after
the bosses and get the men to strike.
When | told him that the only strike
that did any good was the strike
that was made at the ballot box, and
the bosses were the victims of a
vicious system as well as the men,
he looked sort of non -plused. |
had discovered that it was rumored
that dance was to be held after the
meeting, and went to inquire as to
the arrangements from the propri-
etor of the hall. He said no ar
rangements had been made, but the
hall would cost me SIS. | said the
street was good enough for me, and
learned afterwards that the man had
said he would charge me S. for the
hall, and the young people could
have a dance erwards-making
amusement for the town at the ex-
pense of the Socialist. But the So
cialist wasn't built that way-or
rather, we are on to the curves of
the capitalist system.
The general manager and the su-
perintendent are the Ryan Brothers
who are chief stockholders in the
company. They own the hotel, and
almost everything in the town. The
landlady gave me permission to
speak in front of the hotel, and
it was a wonder to every one that |

Nature has made Jardine one of
the most beautifully situated towns
in Montana. II nestles pictures
quely amid green mountains some
five miles above Gardner, the gate
way of the National Park. 1t is the
finest, and the richest gold camp in
the state. When a receiver had
hold of the company, he was
paid $40, 900 out of the product of
the mine. and large dividends we're
declared beside. But the name of
Jardine can hold pleasant associa-
tions only for the nonresident stock
holders of the company. The town
is the scene of the most crushing
and degrading tyranny over labor
that exists within Montana.
On going into the camp to speak,
/ was told that the manager reigns
supreme over the lines, and the
words and the thoughts of the men
and everybody in the camp for that
matter, and that it was dangerous
to go in with any word of freedom,
or plans for bettering the con-
dition of the wage working part
of humanity.
However, where freedom is the
greatest stranger, there it is that the
Socialist message must be most per-
sistently carried. If freedom AMI
opportunity are a possible goal of
humanity, the slaves toiling in ig-
norance, and helpless submission,
must be aroused to possible man
hood, and courageous resistance.

and at once" Yet the emminently
respectable" citizens and their
friends of the emminently respect
able class who have most occasion
and the automobiles, and spanking
turn in which to go to the mines
back of Helena, are the people who
own the cribs" and other houses
on this same Clore street where
lives this undesirable element. "
The fact is most of the owners of
Clore street houses own the finest
carriages in the city and entertain
strangers" in the most sumptuous
style. One of them is a vestryman
in one of the most fashionable
churches, two others are rich sub
scribers to Peters Pence and bow in
humble submission to a certain big
toe; others make no particular claims
to respectability. and bow only to
the terrible dollar, whether tainted
by profit on Clore street or in any
other business transaction.
Should these women be concen-
trated in one pen, these emminently
respectable owners of Clore street
dens would lose their income and the
houses would have to be sold. Their
property would be confscated.
Vested rights would suffer, and ac-
ton would lie for damages in vast
sums. Now to whether these
women constitute a desirable or un-
desirable element depends upon the
point of view. From the owners
standpoint these tenants are very
desirable, not because they enjoy
the spectacle of abandoned wretches
Haunting their fnery in the faces OF
the more fortunate, but because these

enjoy the rent money they receive
