equalled, and never excelled on the
Great Lakes or anywhere else. 1t is

AN ETHICAL IMPULSE.

The scab Is the kind cot
man) that seldom works regularly and
is almost never a good workman.
"Scabs" are essentially camp followers
of labor disturbances. He seldom
comes because he wants to work. He
usually comes becomes there are ex-
ceptional inducements offered, and be-
cause he is frequently made an object
of considerable attention. -
"He not only does not lessen the
total unemployed, but he defeats the
effort Of the other man to improve the
condition of his own class. He makes
the job worse for himself. for every
body else, and for those who come
after him.. Is he a benefactor? To
the extent that he II succeeds he pre-
vents Improvement. His only contrib
ution, Is to the forces that make it i'm
possible for the laborers in that group
to get better economic or social con-
ditions, and he is used specifically for
that purpose. Under no other condi-
tions extant would he have been en-
ployed. He is employed only as an
instrument for preventing that ~sim-
provement. There is every reason why
honest, industrious >laborers, whether
members Of unions or not, should des-
pise the 'scab' and refuse to associate
with him. It is an ethical impulse to
ostracise; him. -" Prof, George Gunston.

BIC CHINESE LOBBY
WORKING At CAPITAL
Our Manufacturers Are Threaten
ed Unless Chinese Restriction
Is Raised by Congress.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 20.-Con-
gress had no sooner gotten down to
work when there appeared agents for
the Chinese government and certain
capitalistic interests to renew their ef-
forts to secure a modification Of the
exclusion laws. All sorts Of specious
arguments are being made, and when
those fail to convince the threat to
push the boycott on American goods
Is used. 1t Is claimed that millions
of losses In trade will be felt by Amer
lean manufacturers unless a broader
construction is placed on the Chinese
exclusion laws. There is no gainsay-
ing the fact that powerful Western
and Southern capitalistic interests
are in sympathy with the agitation
and support the movement to scuttle
the law. The Western plutocrats
want cheap Asiastic labor to work on
railways, in mines, or ranches. or
chards, ETC., and assist in breaking
down the unions which they have
fought for a number Of years. The
Southern plutes are aiming to sup
plant the negroes on the plantations
and in other lines Of work. They look
upon the Chinese coolie as more docile
and Industrious and believe that ra-
cial troubles would cease if the yell
low man were substituted for the
blacks. It is a big question: that is
coming up and likely to cause much
agitation during the next few years.

Every workingman's family tried to
have little extra feast on Christmas,
but it is safe to say that no working
mans family in America or in any
other country had turkey for dinner
a hundred years ago. There were very
few families that had even fresh beef

Coarse bread and porridge and salt

on. Even this food was not always
cheap. There we're times when bread
was eight cents loaf and pork twenty

THE TAX AMEND
MENT. FRAUD

To the Editor of the Labor World:
Sir:-The fraudulent transposing
of the amendments on the Tally
sheets, at the last election evident
ly, accomplished the purpose for
which it was designed, by the
schemers who perpetrated the
fraud. There is not an election
pricinct in this city that detected
the fraud, and as consequence the
vote was concealed and counted
in favor of the amendment, against
which the people voted, and counted
against. the amendment that two
thirds Of the voters supported. 1t
is evident that the error escaped
detection by our City Clerk, or he
would have issued caution to the
judges of election, II is up to the
Secretary of State to purge him
self and his office from suspicion,
His silence, since the public detect
ed the matter, is painfully signi-
ficant There can be no lodging
the question. The wilfulness of
the act is too apparent. The mat
ter, should be brought, to the at
tention of Governor Johnson, that
he may probe it to the bottom,

CHICAGO STOCK YARDS
Hot Shot at Armour From Writer
in 1.-The Outlook" on Labor
Condition.
It Is In the Stock Yards Where
Labor Can Be Seen in Its
Naked Form.

The fact that Mr.. Armour Is only
following the ordinary business prin-
ciples in the hiring Of labor does not
alter or mitigate the other fact that
Mr.. Armour's- employees have wretched
homes and live wretched lives. Mr..
Armour is not responsible for the fact
that In hts business he needs three
tisan. But the consequence Of that
fact is that the district Immediately
surrounding the cattle yards is COM
mon labor district living on common
wages.
1t is that district, of all districts in
America, that common labor can be
seen in the nakedest form and in the
largest mass. There the concentra-
ton Of an enormous industry has
created an almost feudal domain Of
central factory castles and Of hoveled
Industrial peasants. There the devel-
opment Of scientific methods Of pro-
skilled artisan and has left sodden
monotoneous heap of mere breathing
muscle.
If the 50-cent man worked 10 hours
a day six days in the week through
out the year he would have an average
weekly wage Of $50. If the, 17h- cent
man worked steadily in the same
way he would have a weekly wage of
s1o50 But actual wages fall far be-
low this level
Work in the stock yards is irregular.
Tha chf ofc ~
is daily variation and there is sea-
sonal variation. The daily variation
runs from. say, 10000 cattle to say,
300 on Saturday. The seasonal varia-
tion IS an even greater hardship. In
summer there are comparatively few
animals to be slaughtered. Therefore
the average workday is much shorter
in summer than it is in winter.
A common laborer, a TN cent man,
would, Of course, be subject to the
same daily and seasonable variations
which reduced the earnings of the 80
cent man from $50 a week to $1411
in bad year and to $21.7O in a. good
one. The actual wages Of the 17h-
cent man now becomes clearer. With
shortened work days every week and
he earned an average
weekly, wage or $4:94 in 1897 and 81
$3.50 in 1902. He fell to just that ex-
tent below his theoretical wage of
$10.5O
This wage, about IS in 1897, and
about $3.50 in 1902, is the wage which
applies in general to all common labor
in the stock yards district. And COM
mon labor is three fourths of the total.
Nevertheless we have not vet
reached the rock bottom We have
ben considering a common laborer
who was kept in the gang throughout
the year whenever slaughtering was
being done. But frequently the sup
ply of animals sinks so low that a
great many men are laid off alto
gether. A shortened workday during
the winter is now supplemented by an
absolute lack of employment during
the summer. In the case Of certain
packing houses, a full third of the
force has been laid off during the
slack period. When such a disaster
happens, the common laborer's average
weekly wage of from $494 to $3.50 is
again pared to the quick-The Out
look.
