Building Trades Lay Aside Rules in
Face of Great Calamity.

There is probably no better organ
lied section of the country, insofar as
the building trades are concerned than
the Pacific coast This is especially
true of San Francisco. The building
trades unions were in absolute control
of the field. But now that San Fran
cisco lies in ruins and the need of
haste in rebuilding is manifest, the
unions have let down the bars and
notified the world that there will be no
distinction between unionists and non
unionists in the work of rebuilding the
city.
This is body blow to the wrecking
crew that is forever bowling that the
unions will not allow free and inde-
pendent workingman" to earn an hon
est living. 1t is also another proof
that unionism makes men, not human
machines.
Building tradesmen, however, should
be in no hurry to go to San Francisco.
The immediate supply of skilled labor
Is adequate The chief demand now is
for unskilled labor in the work of re-
moving the debris and getting ready
for building operations. 1t will be
weeks before any adequate supply of
material is on the grounds, and in the
meantime the resources Of the country
will be taxed to take care of the desti-
tute now there. Doubtless word will
be passed along the line when there is
need for more building tradesmen than
are now on the ground ready for work.

weeks monster Eoltion.
Last weeks edition of The Wage
worker consisted of upwards of 10000
copies of twenty-four pages each.
There were six columns to the page,
or IA columns in all. Each column
measured 1875 inches, or 2,SOS inches
per copy, or a total of 33,696,00 inches
for the entire edition. The cover paper
weighed a fraction over 1000 pounds
and the twenty inside pages weighed
a little over 1000 pounds. The total
weight was approximately 3,1O0
pounds, or over a ton and half There
were 800, 400 "ems" of composition
apart from the advertisements. In the
twenty pages of reading matter there
were 10000 lines, each 2A inches long,
making total line length per copy of
sc, 900 inches, or 432 900, 900 inches in
the total edition This is equal to
SO, 100000 feet, or 6,S18 miles of line
length in the entire edition. Folded

would have made pile ITO feet high,

McCabe on The Unions

Addressing the East New York con-
ference of the Methodist church in
Brooklyn, Bishop McCabe declared
that his church is opposed to the labor
unions as they now exist, and made
this statement:
I'VE are opposed to having a small
percentage of labor men run the entire
laboring class in a high-handed and
authoritative manner. AS now consti-
tuted, labor unions cannot long stand.
Either they must reform themselves
or they will cease to exist, as they are
now unfair and unjust, and the honest
workingman cannot long be subjected
to oppression without rising in revolt
L want every one of the 800 ministers
here to accept this as his creed and
preach it. l am stating the position of
the Methodist Church today at this
conference, as the members of the
church do not seem to be disposed to
state it themselves. I want this state
ment to be published broadcast, so
there can be no doubt as to the atti-
tude of Methodists toward honest
labor. I believe this should become
part of the creed of every Protestant
church.
This is interesting. A great many
people, including, we doubt not, quite
a number of Methodists, will be cur
ious to know by what right Bishop
McCabe, for all his high place in the
church, is able dogmatically to align
it in open opposition to trades union
ism. We are inclined to think many
will question his right
In Omaha, for example, the McCabe
creed will come very much as a sur
prise. One of the leading lay men,
bers of the Methodist church is also
recognized and able leader of local
trades unionism. Among the fraternal
delegates representing the ministerial
association in the central labor union
and working in harmony with that
union to advance the material and
spiritual welfare of laboring men is
minister of the Methodist church. And
numerous union men are also good

Tuesday evening it was decided to per-

not get union made shoes for their own
wear in Lincoln, let them get together
and buy them elsewhere. The Wage
worker can tell them where to send
their orders. The shoe dealer who will
not make a special effort to win the
trade of union women does not deserve
to have that trade. There are plenty
of union made shoes for women, from
the cheapest to the very best. Ever

UNioNIsTs, READ THIS.

Be very careful of the patronage
you bestow upon merchants who adj
vertise literally in the daily papers,
but who refuse to advertise in your
labor paper. This is also true of the
merchant who will tell you that he be-
Eeves in union labor and wants the
union mans trade, yet persistently re-
fuses to advertise in labor paper.
There is common understanding
among many of the larger merchants
that they will not patronize the labor
papers, and hope by thus withholding
their business from such papers to
force their suspension, or at least
weaken their infiuence.-Labor Advo-

VIOLENCE IN STRIKES.
Too Much of It, but Not as Much as
Some People Charge.


"The only statistics of strike vio-

speaking, strike violence is insignifi-

Methodists. Bishop McCabe, sitting in
solitary dignity in an ecumenical coun-
Gil of his own, will hardly be able,
without at least a struggle, to read
them out of the union or out of the
church
There may be suspicion that
Bishop McCabe's personal interest in
the Methodist book concern, which is
now engaged in somewhat acrino-
NOUS contest with the typographical
union, has helped to color his views
and give them selfish bias, AS to
this we will not venture to express an
opinion
But the World-Herald does believe,
and will say, that the great Methodist
church, builded as it is of the very
bone and Drawn and cemented to-
gether with the blood of the common
people, the poor people, should be
among the last to pronounce anathema
upon laboring men who have entered
into union organizations for their own
protection. These laboring men have
no other means effectively to defend
themselves. The rapid concentration
OF capital into a comparatively few
hands, the amalgamation of industrial
establishments into trusts and COM
bines. leave the workingmen helpless
unless they, too, combine to meet or
ganization with organization.
The abuse of the power of labor
unions, the 1awlessness and disorder
that occasionally spring from them
just as from the capitalistic unions.
the folly and short-sightedness that
sometimes mar their management,
these are all to be deplored and con-
demned. Intelligent and patriotic
union men, as a matter of fact, are
among the first to admit and strive to
correct these faults.
But the central idea of unionism-
that of effective labor organization and
labor brotherhood-is something that
not even Bishop McCabe and all the
bishops of all the churches, will ever
be able to crush SO long as the present
social and industrial order maintains.
