PRISON MADE :BR0OMs
ARE FLOODING MARKET
Ex- Union Broom Factory Fill

n riot d lade Broo
Unsuspecting Public Is Being
Deceived by Former Union :
Broom Manufacturer.

PARIS. ILL.,, Jan. 26.-The broom
makers of this city, who were forced to
join the broom makers union by their
employers some years ago. are now
being forced out Of the union by the
same interests. The employers are at
tempting to run the open shop. but the
men who five years ago were forced to
unionism, and refuse to surrender the
organization that brought them 30
many rich blessings. The prtncipal
firm that is opposing the union is the
Merkle-Wiley Broom Co, and has
been extensively advertised by the In
ternational Broom Makers union on
account of using their union label, and,
they have reaped a harvest of money
in increased business, but this seeme
to be forgotten when their employees
want a share of some Of the dividends.
The men were forced to strike and
have been out over ten weeks, and are
determined no longer to be made tools
Of by corporation to satisfy their
selfish greed. In order to meet the
wants of their customers this firm has
been purchasing prison made brooms
and relabeling them with their own
business label. The following articlo
clipped from an exchange will give an
insight to the nerve Of these Lords oE
the Open Shop Policy:
'Merkle-Wiley run large broom
shop in Paris. but their employees arc
on strike. The proprietors want to
run their factory on the open shop
plan, and the employees want 1t union-
lied. 1t is said to be the largest fac
tory in the United States. They res
ceived a car load of brooms from the
Jackson, Mich, penitentiary, and.
counting freight and all, they say the
brooms were laid down cheaper in Par
is than the union men could make
them. Here is a nice little problem
for sociologists and union men to pon-'
der over.''-Oakland, ILL.,, Ledger
Union men and women. is this not q
matter that should concern you?
Think of it-brooms made by CON-
VICT LABOR being used by manu-
facturer to fill his orders after run-
ming union label shop for years!
Who knows but what some Of thes.
brooms are for sale in your city2 It ID
the duty Of every union man to visit
his grocer or merchant and see II any
of the Merkle-Wiley brooms are for
sale, and put in a protest against this
unfair firm, and don't forget to inform
the wife, sweetheart or mother.
The wife who buys one Of these
brooms is giving much better grounds
for divorce than one usually finds in
the bills presented to the circuit court,
and the daughters and sweethearts
who do that sort of q thing should res
ceive notice that they needn't expect
anything better than witness non-
unionist. = 81

JUDGE ASKS QUESTIONS.

JUDGE ASKS QUESTTON8,
Judge James Phelan of Detroit asks
these questions:
"Have you ever known of q trades
council or labor organization corrupt
ing or debauching a legislature Of any
State?
"Have you ever read Of a labor or
Eanization, no matter how humble, cor
rupting or debauching the members Of
a common council for the purpose Of
securing franchise?
"And Is it not the principal object Of
labor organizations to secure better

AS Seen in Anderson.

The people of Anderson county
have shown their emphatic disap-
proyal of the dispensary system 10y a
large majority. Their action is in
thorough keeping with the traditions
of the county, which has always stood
for temperance and law and order.
The dispensary issue came up before
the voters squarely on its merits, ,ard
the result must be taken as their
sober eldict on system that has
been tried and found wanting.
Now that the dispensary has been
voted out, it is the duty of every
citizen to lend his influence 10 hav-
ing the law enforced. There have
been few blind tigers in the county
in recent years, and there is no reason
why their number should increase.
Public sentiment of the right kind
will enforce any law, aud We believe
that it will uphold with Il hrm hand
the cause of law and order when the
first attempt is made to violate the
laws of the State by the illicit sale
of liquor. The people of the coun-
ty have done wisely in rejecting the
dispensary. A little revenue bas
been lost, but what is that to be com.
pared with the incaiculable gain to
follow in other ways ID making hap
pier homes and training up better
citizenship:
The issue has been fairly and hon
estly settled at the ballot box, and
there is no reason why contest
should be instituted. This has been
done IN other counties. The dispen-
sary advocates will only do their
cause harm by any attempt to set
aside the will Of the people.
The county was never in Il more
prosperous condition than 1t is today
and We believe that the removal OF
the dispensary will make no little
advance in its further progress and
prosperity. ty.-Anderson Intelligener.

The Black Mingo Vote.
Carolina.

The State SAYS in fine burst OF
Scoyuful enthusiasm:
s'Black Mingo. Williamsburg
county, holds the dispensary record.
There Il votes were cast for the dis
pensary to one against. How dear
to the hearts of the faithful should
be held Black Mingo. What a world
of enlightenment this record pres
agesnr'
Black Miugo is dear to the hearts
of the faithful and justly so.There is
no more enlightened community in
South Carolina and none where the
moral code is higher. A Virginian
of distinguished ancestry only recent
ly said of it that residence there
woul'! compel any man to be a gentle
man. 1t is an old community and
some of the brightest names in Rev
olunonary history sprung from ii.
Major John James, the hero of the
Georgetown episode,is buried within
a few miles of it. Its splendid plan
tat,ons and cultivated people are
ever she subject of remark. The
South Carolinian who does not know
Black Mingo and its people, from
headwa,ers to mouth, has much to
rsrn. The polling precinct is the
,ting place fol Rome and RHEIMS
and from tine very spot two large
steamers nly egrlrly to Georgetown
and even YET tie. lie unable to han
die the swelling trade. 1t is the best
section in Williamsburg county in
every sense of the word and there is
no better anywhere. Its splendid
vote for the dispepsary is a high tri'
butte and shows the strength of the
dispensary principle with the best
people of the State-Georgetown
Field.
We endorse everything said by the
Field in praise of the good people of
Black Mingo; but we do not believe
that the overwhelming vote given
the dispensayy at that precinct neces-
sarily implies that all the best and
most patriotic people of South Caro-
lima or Williamsburg county uphold
the Great Moral Institution. No,
no, contemporary, there are many
citizens of this county jnst as good
and just as patriotic as the people
of Black Mingo, who voted solidly
against the dispensary. For instance,
take Salters, where the count showed
twenty five to nothing anti -disPen'
sary. The voters of Williamsburg
did their own thinking in the recent
election agd the fact that they voted
for Or against the dispensary is by no
means indicative of their ignorance
or enlightenment. People. who

PORT ARTHUR SURRENDERED

Gen. Stoessel, commander of the
besieged Russian forces in Port Ar.
thur who have held out against the
Japanese army for nearly eleven
months, has at last surrendered and
the fortress has been occupied by the
victorious army under Gen. Nogi.
At 9:45 O'Clock Monday night the
commissioners appointed by both
sides completed the signing of the
capitulation agreement. Both armies
had suspended hostilities five bonrs
earlier.
To what extent the fall of Port Ar
thur will make for a restoration of
peace is an open question. There is
an encouraging note in the expression
by Baron Hayashi, the Japanese min
lister at London, of ''the hope that in
some way it will facilitate final peace. -
though the pacific note is perhaps lost
in the later words of the minister
which call attention to the fact that the
besieging army will now be free to 60
north where they will be an offset to
the achievements General Kuropat-
kin has been receiving from Russia
since the battle of Shakhe. The
spirit of the Russians may be Judged
