and generally there are dividends to
pay on Watered stocks. Good times are
worked for all they are worth, and
sometimes the employe is expected to
bear the brunt of hard times The law
must supply the element of justice
which is now wanting. Employers say,
own property?' Certainly, so long as
they attempt to control nothing else,
but when in controlling their own
property they seek to control the lives
and liberty of their employees, they
subordinate human rights, and this is
as dangerous to their own descendants
as to the descendants of those who
work for them. No method has yet
been devised for insuring the employ
er's children against the possibility of
being among the wage earners of the
next generation. No person or class,
therefore, can afford to legislate for a
year or even for a generation or to
place it's immediate advantage above
the permanent good Of society.

CHICAGO MACH|N|STS
CAN HOLD OUT 10 YEARS
Men Determined Not to Su1ren-
der Until Employers
Withdraw Demands.
Union Will Not Agree to Have
Its Men Graded Into Vari-
GUS Glasses.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Jan. 19.-Although the
Machinists' District Lodge has paid out
$161 900 to strikers in Cook County dur
ing the past year, the officials state
there will be no settlement until the
employers agree to employ union men
and withdraw their demand that the
members of a union shall be graded
into classes with a different wage scale
for each.
This report was completed yesterday
by Business Agent Lee Fisher and will
be presented to the next meeting of
the district lodge. The money to pay
strike benefits came from the members
Of the International Association of Ma
chinists throughout the United States,
less than per cent being donated by
still receiving strike benefits. Married
men are paid 81 a week and single
men IS. Besides these amounts about
$4,000 additional has been given the
strikers during the year.
The strike began in May, when 800
machinists left the employ of eighty
members of the Chicago Metal Trades
Association. Since then many have
found work and others have left town.
According to John D. Hibbard, presi-
dent of the Metal Trades Association,
great gOOd Will come out OF the strlke.
Il have always. and do now favor,
joint trade agreements" he said. But
neither the employer nor employe in
the machinery trades is ready for that
peaceful means of settling disputes.
After both sides have fought until they
are satisfied peace will come. I be-
lieve it will require another years
struggle before we can make an
agreement and keep it afterward."
The union officials are more optimis-
tic than President Hibbard.

years if necessary" said Business

lZed, make mistakes and sometimes
grievously wrong their employers and
even each other. To err is human, and
the laboring man is human, but let
the law fix limit to his activities and
forbid anything that is inimical to the
public welfare. Then if a labOring
man violates the law let him be tried
like any one else accused of crime, for
certainly aman who earns his bread by
the sweat of his brow is entitled to ev-
cry presumption that is given to the
confirmed criminal.
Nom Unionist Injured, Too.
THE employers have started out on a
crusade against labor, ostensibly
against organized labor, for the men,
bers of the association are no more
willing to- safeguard the interests of
non-union labor than they are to safe
guard the interests of union men,
whereas the work done by labor unions
has benefited all laboring men, those
outside as we'll as those inside the la
Dor organizations.
''Some employers, smarting under
some particular grievance or supposed
grievance, have Joined the employers
association without fully considering
the nature of the movement or conse-
quences. Those who really sympathize
with the masses but have been misled
will soon become aware of the perils
Of the course upon which the associa-
ton has entered and will withdraw.
They cannot long remain ignorant of
the uncharitable spirit of those who
are at the head of the organization.
Sowing Dragons Teeth.
'"The laboring men need the capital
list, but the capitalist needs the labor
ing man also. Captains Of industry,
with the genius of organization, are
needed, but the captain cannot do any
thing without the aid Of sergeants,
corporals, and privates. There ought
to be confidence and sympathy be-
tween employers and employees, and
this is impossible without a feeling of
brotherly love and an ungrudging rec
ognition by each Of the rights of the
other. The employers are sowing
dragons teeth when they combine ia
crush the aspirations of employees, who
in peace or war contribute so largely
to. the nations strength and wealth.
Any association for the bri1iEing 81
labor and capital together would prove
far more benefcent than an associa-
tion formed to resist the just efforts OF
laboring men to advance their physi-
cal, mental and moral welfare

Humane Society of San Fran
cisco Used as Tool by
Union Wreckers.
Thugs Join Society and Secure
Permits to Become Walk
ing Arsenals.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, JAN 49,
The Citizens Alliance is using the Pa
cific Humane Society as a means to
provide strike breakers with permits
to carry weapons. The Humane Soci-
ETY. is organized for the ostensiblo
and professed purpose of the preven-
tfon of cruelty, but it's actual business
appears to be the sale Of memberships
at IS per annum. The inducement sto
purchase membership is the fact that
membership gives the holder some sort
of official status, carrying the right to
bear concealed weapons. This busi-
ness of selling an official status has
become quite profitable since the Citi-
zens' Alliance began hiring strike
breakers whom it was desired to arm.
notwithstanding the fact that they
might be persons altogether unfit to
be trusted with deadly weapons.
These facts were developed by the
admissions of John Thorpe, the propri-
etor of the Home Made Pie bakery OF
]. w. Thorpe & Co., 504 Post street..
He is member Of the Citizens Allf-
ance, holds membership in the Pacific
Humane Society, and wears the star OF
that organization. He also carries .

FORC|BLY UNsEATEL
Corporations Still Thwarting
Popular Will to Get Con-
troll of Senate.
Corporation Judge Must be
Confirmed or Senators
Will Be Unseated.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 19.-Senators
Robert NJ. Born and Daniel Healy were
expelled from the Senate Saturday
on a resolution passed on a majority
vote. Both are Democrats. Born's
seat was given to James B. Dick and
Healy's seat is vacant and Governor
Adams will call an election to fill the
place.
Delong, Republican, protested against
the action and said it was unconstitu-
tional.
Senator Adams stated that the mat
ter will be taken into the Supreme
Court on injunction proceedings.
Born refused to give up his seat,
whereupon he was forcibly elected by
Sergeant nt-at-Arms Berry.
The Democrats fear the Republicans
do not intend to stop until they secure
a two-thirds majority in the Senate
50 that they can veto all measures un-
favorable to corporations.
Healy made a statement in his own
behalf in which he stated that an at
tempt was made to bribe him. He said
that Saturday, during the joint ses-
sion, he was called into a private room
and was told that if he would vote for
the confirmation of Judge Goddard
he need have no fear Of being unseat-
ed.
The deal whereby the corporations
allowed the Democrats to seat Adams
was completed, yesterday. 1t is said,
when Speaker w. H. Dickson an
nounced his committees in the House.
Everything fell to the Peabody Re-
publicans, the Wolcottites and the
Democras being left out in the cold.
