PRESIDENT JOHNSON WAS
ONCE A LABOR LEADER

Some of the historians of Tennessee
assert with great positiveness that
President Andrew Johnson, when a
young man and working as journ-
eyman tailor, formed the first bona
ide unions in this country. While
Eugene V. Debs was lecturing in
Knoxville, Tenn, recently, he was ap-
preached by Col. John Bell Brown
low, of that city, and asked him If
he knew of the existence of a labor
union prior to seventy years ago. Mr..
Debs said that he did not. Then Col.
Brownlow said that in 1885 Andrew
Johnson organized at Greenville the
shoe makers, plasterers and mechan-
les. This bit of history struck Mr..
Debs very forcibly as it did a number
of others who were present. But
the presidents of those days, like the
economic conditions, were somewhat
different from those of our time.

were mistaken. We knew nothing of

scrap for having work done. That is
if they have it to do. But the union
is SO fixing things that only those firms
which are opposed to union labor will
give them work. Their plight Is sorry.
They have our sincere sympathy, be-
cause they are blindly entering a
business adventure which they think

RICH RASCALS Do NOT
CONTROL THE CHURCH
Rev. Chas. Stelzle Says That
the Wealthy Do Not Run
The Christian Church.
Rockefeller Never Explained
How He Got His Wealth
Until Church Questioned.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 10.-Rev. Chas.
Stelzle Of the Presbyterian Board of
Home Mission. in an article to the
the labor press this week, entitled,
DO Rich Rascals Run the Church ?''
says:
1t has sometimes been said: 'The
church Is composed of d-hearted
employers who are always grinding
out their lives OF their employees" ."
There are more than 100000 Pro-
testant church members in this coun-
try. OF Roman Catholics there are
100000 more. Surely they are not
all Of the employing class. Sometimes
the rich control the churches where
there are in the majority or where they
have been placed in official position
by vote Of the members of the church,
but it does not always follow that be-
cause man is rich he is hard hearted
and cruel. Furthermore, the poor man
who has the necessary qualificati ions
is usually given the place he deserves

ufacturer.
1t is admitted that some hard-heart-
ed employers are in the church. They
have come in because Of the good
company they will get into. But they
are not the church. They are the
parasites in the church. They might
better be out of it, so fas as the good
they do is concerned. But" some
body says, they are the men who sup
port the church." Don't you bel;ere

Work1ngmen have noticed that prac~
tically for the first time in his life,
Mr.. Rockefeller has consented to dis
cuss the matter Of how his wealth has
been accumulated. He has been alb
solutely silent to the criticisms of the
press. He has apparently been in
different to the deerees of the court.
But when the church questions his
methods, he instantly replies. And
yet many Workingmen have been
scorning the only institution which
has the power to move men to give
an account of their stewardship.

LABOR BANK CERTAIN.

Chicago trade unionists seem to be
in earnest regarding the proposition
to start bank to receive the depos-
it's of local organizations and men,
bers. 1t is said that charter has
been applied for and that the pre-
liminary arrangements are rapidly be-
ing made to establish the bank. While
the idea has been suggested before,
it was never given serious considera-
tion until the action of the bank ring
recently in voting large sums of mon
ey to support the Employers Associa-
tion in it's campaign to destroy the
unions. The men argued that some
of their own money!, was being used
to accomplish their undoing. 1t is
claimed that millions of dollars would
be withdrawn from the capitalists
banks and deposited in the labor in
stitutiOn.

GOV. JOHNSON UPHOLDS
CHILD LABOR CRUSADE
Refuses to Interfere With La
Dor Commissioner Williams
in His Good Work.
This in Spite of Strong Polit-
ical Influence Being Brought
to Bear on Him.

If there is anything that will tend to
remove the impression gained during
the last campaign. that Governor John
son was unfriendly to union labor, it
will be Labor Commissioner Williams
determined effort to remedy the child
labor evil in this state.
Governor Johnson is to be congratu-
lated for the support he is rendering
the Labor Bureau on this matter. All
kinds of political influence is being
brought to bear on the Governor to
call Mr.. Williams off, but the Cover
nor has stood pat. He not only re-
fused to interfere, but is reported to
have assured Mr.. Williams of his
hearty sympathy and support in his
noble and commendable undertaking.
We are sure that the workingmen of
Minnesota, particularly that portion of
them who are working for more eQui-
table economic conditions, will ap-
preciate the Governors position, and
they will lend him such. support as
will further encourage him in such
good and useful work
Mr.. Williams is demonstrating that
he is made Of the kind of material
that is ever needed in a useful Labor
Bureau. He has manner which is
typically his, that enables him to pur-
sue an aggressive course without Civ
ing unnecessary offense. This sort of
tact is most necessary in the enforce
ment Of labor laws, where the tendency
is to be lenient with those who violate
this.
In his crusade against child labor,
Mr.. Williams is bringing to him the
support Of every sociological club in
Minnesota. The Women's Federation,
the Woman Suffragist associat ton and
other organizations Of women have al
ready pledged him their support. This
together with the aid that Mr.. Williams
can always command from 1000 men,
bers Of organized labor ought to be of
sufficient encouragement to him to
quickly settle the child labor evil of
this state.
The Superintendents of Schools
throughout the state can also be of
considerable aid to Mr.. Williams. Many
of them have already promised to CO.
operate with him. Prof. Denfeld of
the Duluth schools was most enthus-
iastic when Mr.. Williams explained his

purpose to him. He will keep close
watch ON conditions here, and the To-
cal inspector, Mr.. Hagberg, will be
notified when every child makes ap-
plication for a permit.
In other cities, where political in
fluence cannot be used to influence
school superintendents, the same
watchfulness may be expected. This
is getting opposition to child labor on

Jams is entitled to the commentator
of every citizen for the systematic
manner by which he is conducting his
campaign.

LATE ELECTIONS MARK
NEW ERA IN POLITICS
Hearst's Campaign Brings ALI
Good Citizens to the Front
in Americas Metropolis.
Other Municipal Campaigns
Show That People Are on
Guard Against Graft.

Tuesdays elections have their sig
nificance that can best be appreciated
by those who are striving for eco
nomic reforms in municipal govern
ment, as we'll as good government.
Every municipal ownership advocate
recognizes that the first thing neces-
sary to true progress in that direction
is pure government. Wherever that is
the issue the pest men in all parties are
usually found on the same side.
Whatever difference of opinion may
exist in the minds of men relative to
the personality of w. r. Hearst, it is
generally conceded that he stood first
for good government in New York.
Now that it is evident that the elec-
ton was stolen from him in the big
city by corrupt gang Of political pi-
rates. every self-respecting citizen of
New York is behind him in his con-
test for a recount. An honest count
may show that Mr.. Hearst was elect
ed Still the worst feature of the elec-
ton was the voting of over 10000 men
under assumed names.
The election Of Jerome will greatly
aid Mr.. Hearst in his coming legal
battle, and it should not be surprising
to hear of a number of Tammany
braves soon playing checkers with
their faces in Sing Sing.
The election, in spite of the results,
indicate the trend of thought through
out the country. People want progress.
They want honesty first, in order that
true progress can be made. Who says
we are going to the bad? We are get
ting better every day.
Tom JOhnsOn's reelection as mayor
or Cleveland was a healthy bit of
news to students of municipal govern
ment. Johnson stands for good gov
ernment and a more equitable system
of taxation. Those who own property
in Duluth can thoroughly appreciate
the value of campaign along Mr..
Johnson's lines.
The most surprising results were
seen in the Philadelphia election where
the machine imagined it had every
thing its own way. When Philadelphia
gives the machine Jolt there is Ger
tainly room for hope. " ~.

WASHBURN-C ARE
GIVEN TASTE Of FIGHT
East Liverpool Ohio Unionists In
duce Grocers to Pass Up
Their Unfair Flour.
Earnest Campaign Started
Throughout East In Support
of Flour Mill Employees.

The non-union and unfair Minnea
polls flour mills have frequently boast
ed that the boycott on their flor is
doing them no harm, but reports from
labor papers over the country indicate
that they are having hard sleding.
Minnesota workingmen may be in
terested in the following extract from
the proceedings of the Trade and La
bor assembly of Feast Liverpool, Ohio
which shows what the eastern union
lists are doing for the Minnesota flour
mill employees:
A short while since the Council or
dered printed and sent to the differ
ent grocers of the city the following
circular as regards the unfair WASH
brun- Crosby Milling Company:
Dear Sir:
We are addressing this letter to you
in the interest Of all loyal union, or
working men: We especially desire
it to be understood that we are in no
sense making a fight against yourself
or firm, but simply desire to present a
fair proposition which we know will
be met with such consideration at
your hands as will be satisfactory to
all parties concerned.
AS you are perhaps already aware,
the Washburn Crosby Milling Com
pany, of Minneapolis, Mimi, has been
waging war against the members Of
the International Flour and Cereal
Workers, an organization believing in
a fair days work for fair days wage.
The trouble between the firm and it's
former employees is not strike. The
men were lOckd out, and in spite Of
repeated entreaties in their own be-
half for arbitration and requests on
the part of the Executive Officers of
Dor, the firm still persists in maintain
ing their position against organized
labor. They d1ave not only taken this
arbitrary stand, but are running their
mammoth establishment with boys and
girls who should be enjoying the ad-
vantages Of at least a common school
education.
In common with all the wage work.
ers Of the United States the members
of the East Liverpool Trades and La
Dor Council respectfully request you
to refuse to handle the product Of the
Washburn Crosby Milling Co. If you
are now handling their goods and will
be so kind as to comply with our re-
quest, please notify the Recording Sec
retary of our organization to that ef-
feet, and your action will receive the
endorsement of every labor organiza-
tion In East Liverpool. II you are not

HILL CALLS US "FOOLS."

Jim Hill, the "Great Northern"
railroad magnate, says we are fools
to let Oriental trade slip away from
us, that we cannot compete in manu-
facture without cheaper labor. So
we must be still bigger fools and
work for less! The dollar which
already looks like thirty cents be-
cause of food products trust and 9TH
er trusts and the exactions of land
lords, usurers, ddlemen and retail
ers, must be still further squeezed.
Why not abolish the tariff on all ar
ticles that need no protection? Per-
haps prices to consumers might de-
crease, and with cheaper raw mate
rails the factories could turn out
cheaper goods. 81
