TRADE UNION IS AID
To NON UNION LABOR
Every Time Organized Labor
Moves Forward It Takes
Non-Union Men Too.
The Trade Union Is Not Pure
lv Selfish In It's Aim.
Others Get Benefit.

Trade unions are alleged to be
purely selfish institutions working for
selfish ends, and consequently in op-
position to public, and in fact, all
other interests. The allegation IS
based on the fact that trades unions
strive to improve the industrial life of
the workers. This they strive to do
by increasing wages, refusing the
hours Of labor and improving any and
all conditions that impose upon the
workers, whether those concitions are
the established ones of full competi-
ton, "accepted" legitimate business
principles, avaricious individual am
bitions and prof1t-making, or the ar
tificial conditions growing out of spec
ial privileges or control. The ultimate
aim Of the labor movement is to Sc
cure economic equity of labor.
Each trades union is an autonomous
body Of the greater, federated move
ment is engaged in this work in it's
own Industrial sphere. The further
ance of this work Is not free, untram-
melled of without opposition. Every
inch of the way is combated every
advance has been gained only after
innumerable defeats and bitter strug-
giles. Those of our critics who crit
icise from a standpoint of the high
est ethical considerations view the
trades union movement apart from
the opposition and conflict with which
it is confronted, and fail to appreciate
that opposition to organized labor Is
neither Influenced nor guided In It's
warfare by ethical considerations. 1t
is impossible for organized labor alone
to establish Industrial peace only BY
unconditional surrender. II ethics
prescribes this course no movement
of the people has ever voluntarily sub
mftted. but has followed compulsion.
The selflshness ascribed to unionism
as universal movement is no more
than the highest form Of enlightened
self-interest. It Is not that selfishness
which disregardsf or denies and ex-
cludes others from equal right. oppor-
tunities or a share of the emoluments
About everything in the nature OF Inn
proved Industrial conditions has been
secured by organized labor, and those
improvements are enjoyed by the non
unionists equally with unionists or
those who bore the burdens Of se-
curing them: Certainly, improving In

NEW YORK. May 2.-Anticipating
the convention Of miners which will
meet at Scranton tomorrow, the an
tracite coal operators today issued a.
statement outlining their views OF the
negotiations to date. The object of
the statement, according to it's intro
ductory paragraph, is Ito prevent mis-
understanding Of the situation which
had led to the convention"

1t declares that in the summer of
1905, the leaders Of the United Mine
Workers found their organization rap
idly dwindling. Having obtained a
arbitration award of the commission
appointed by President Roosevelt in
1902, the men apparently saw no rea-
son to continue to pay union dues. 1t
ADDS a. ms1s,thst, that on June l. the total union
Mitchells tour resulted, the statement
ship to S0,487.
Backed by the results Of this cam
paign." the statement continues, "and
disregarding the fact that the anthra-
cite commission had settled the fun
damental principles which should gov
ern relations with the operators, the
miners representatives came forward
new demands"
HARRISBURG, Pa. May 2.-Gover-
nor Pennypacker today issued pro-
clamation in reference to the industrial
disturbances in Pennsylvania, in which
he calls upon the citizens to assist in
the maintenance of the law and de-
clares that violence will not be toler-
ated. He says a man has g. right to
, stop working when he thinks that
course will benefit him. but he has
no right to keep others from working
who may desire to do so.

who were shot during the rioting on
Monday, are alive, although several

BURGLAR HOWARD GUILTY
Prisoner Who Broke From Jail and
Was Caught in Arizona
Sentenced

Harry Howard was found guilty of
burglary in the second degree by a
jury in department one of the superior
court late yesterday afternoon and was
remanded for sentence.
Howard, who is medium sized. well
built young man about twenty years
of age, made sensational escape
from the city Jail here early in Feb
ruary. He was arrested with another
young man, Edward Eddelman, on a
charge of breaking into store at
Long Beach.
They were brought to this city and
placed In the same cell in jail. One
morning they were turned out of their
cell into the exercise corridor and
while the guards were watching the
first relay of prisoners at breakfast
they dug their way through the plas-
ter ceiling with a pewter spoon which
had been given them with their food
removed the steel plates of the roof
and then clambered through a window
into the rooming house just east of
the Jail. Their escape had passed un-
noticed for some few minutes and with
the start they thus obtained they sue
ceeded in getting out of town.
Howard was caught about two weeks
later at Yuma, Arizona. Eddelman
has not yet been captured.
