A WORD FROM THE EDITOR

Owing to the illness of Mr.. Nc
Even the editorial work for this is
sue has devolved on other shoulders.
It's long time since work of this
kind has been handled by the writer
and never before has the work OF a
labor paper came under our control.
We confess our inability to properly
present matters of interest to the
laboring man, but we have made a
free use of Mark Twain's editorial
pen, viz: "Shears and paste pot in
a frantic endeavor to get the paper
out on time. We have done the best
we could, nothing more can be ex-
pected 1t is hoped that before the
time for preparing copy for the next
issue comes around that Mr.. Nc
Even will have sufficiently "thinned

COURTS AND LABOR.

Organized workingmen are often
criticised with bitterness for their
low opinion of the courts. But have
not the courts t themselves gone a
long way to earn this contempt? Re-
Gently the court Of appeals OF New
York decided that the eight hour law
Of that state, which makes all pub
lie work contracts subject to a con-
dition that the, contractor must OBJ
serve the eight hour day, is invalid
because it restricts freedom of con-
tract. Hardly had the wires ceased
ticking the news Of that decision
against workingmen and in favor OF
freedom Of contract when an Appel

Of he state decided another case
against workingmen and in favor of
restricting freedom OF contract. 1t
held that a contract between an en-
ployer and his men for a "closed
shop" is not valid because contrary
to public policy. Don't these deci-
sions indicate anti-labor bias rattle!

In a word, then, why did labos

UNIONS AMERICANIZING OUR
FOREIGN POPULATION.

Unionism is the greatest educa-
tional and Americanizing force at
work among the hordes of immi-
grants that yearly come to this cOun-
try. This is what United States
Commissioner of Labor Carroll D.
Wright maintains, and Mr.. Wright
generally has the Statistics to back
up his opinions. He has been con-
Quoting some Investigations among
the thousands of Slavs, Germans and
Lithuanians in the stock yards dis
trict in Chicago. In his report to
President Roosevelt on the result
of the Investigations he not only
commends the Americanizing and
civilizing Influence of trades unions
among the foreign population OF
Chicago, but he declares that the
union in the stock yards district
has been the most efficient instru-
ment in preserving peace.
This conclusion must be somewhat
startling to President Roosevelt who
ordered Mr.. Wright to investigate
the conditions in Chicago under the
apparent impression that some grave
disclosed. The press from time to
time dwells on the lawlessness pro-
NOTED by the unions among the ig-
norant foreigners in the stock yards
district in Chicago. But Mr.. Wright
says that the organization of the
unions among these varied races has
brought the men into closer relation
ship, has eradicated their narrow
race prejudices, and in fact, has pre-.
vented the breaking out of disas.

opinion, he quotes a sergeant of DO.

and less crime is committed
For the Poles, L1thuanians an(
slovaks in Chicago, Mr.. Wright dis
covered that the union was the onl,
Americanizing influence that was a
work. He found that unionism i,
order to be successful must eradi
