KILL MEN LIKE SHEEP
IN EAST RIVER TUNNEL

In constructing the tunnel under the
East river, In New York. for the Penn
sylvania railway hundreds Of men have
already been killed or ruined physi-
cally by contracting the bends" yet
nothing is being done to reduce the
mortality list, although coroners' juries
have repeatedly made recommendations
that certain devices be employed to
protect the lives of the workers. I'm
ions have passed resolutions, commit
toes have demanded action, newspapers
have offered few timid comments, but
Mayor Mcclellan has gone to Europe
to take "a needed rest" while District
Attorney Jerome, the man who talks a
great deal when some labor man hap
pens to get before him in court, went
up into New England on a fishing trip.
And while these loafers are disportinx
themselves lives are being constantly
snuffed out in the tunnel, and Cassatt.
president of the Pennsylvania, doesn't
as much as sweat a hair. The condi-
tions are described as being simply
awful and the unionists are DISCOURAGED
by the conditions they are In.

UNION MINERS BECOME
SORE IN PENNSYLVANIA

The organized workers of Pennsyl-
vania are becoming extremely bitter
toward the so-alled state cons tabu-
larry, better known as "Pennypacker's
Cossacks." The Cossacks have made
themselves especially officious in the
mining regions and lately in the street
railway strike in Allentown and
vicinity. The Cossacks who were
brought into being upon demand Of
the mine barons and railway and iron
and steel magnates, were recruited
as rule, in the slums of the cities
and are an all-round dlsreputable set.
Their appearance In any working class
community Is usually the signal for
outbursts of protests. boots and jeers
from the entire population AS a result
Of establishing this state constabularv
for the use of the monopolists the
workers are everywhere discussing in
dependent political action. and the
miners are especially leaving the Re-
publican party by the hundreds. The
Cossacks will be the leading political
issue in the state this fall, and manv
politicians who voted to create them
will be buried so deep that they will
never be heard of again. But they got
their price.

strike of the A. r. u, In May 1894.
1t is said that Mr. James J. Hill was
very solicitous about the attitude of
the switchmen. His long railroad ex-
perience had told him that they were
mighty fine fellows to make peace
with in a hurry. He sent an emissary
to meeting Of switchmen with the
message that: 'Mr. Hill wants to see
a committee Of the switchmen.'
At the meeting hall door standing
guard was a big, broad, red-faced,
popular fellow known as ''Peck's Bad
Boy" He was a good natured, go
as-you-please character, and always
conveyed little humor with his
earnestness in the labor movement.
Peck gave the message to the un-
ion. What does he want?" was the
presiding officers reply. Don't know, "
said Peck. go up and see," was the
instructions from the chair. This was
done in less time than 1t requires to
tell.
Up to the general offices Of the
Great Northern railway hastened
Peck's Bad Boy. He didn't have time
to ask permission to see the great
railroad magnate, but carelessly
pushed tn colored porter aside, made
direct for Mr.. Hills private office, and
found him debating to a stenographer.
Upon seeing the switchman, Mr..
hill quickly asked: well sir, what
do you want" Without tremor, and
just as cough as he was grurf, Peck
replied to the query: Did you send
for a committee of switchmen?" Yes!
yes! come in, where is the balance OF
the committee?' asked Mr.. Hill. Peck
threw out his chest, staggered his
broad shoulders, and casting his half
clenched hands to and fro across the
front Of his body. as II he were getting
ready to give a signal proudly answer
ed: Il am the whole cheese what do
you want?'
There was not much tact in Peck's
Bad Boy, so the ordinary reader will
say, but Mr.. Hill saw in him switch
man diplomat and lost no time In ad-
justing matters. with Mr.. Peck. BY
the way, "Pecck's Bad Boy is still In
! the employ Of the Great Northern
system, and will undoubtedly remain
there as long as he desires to be.

that certain letters in one line were
raised microscopical distance above
those next to them. These raised let
ters spelled the employees name. Seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars was
enc price paid by the authorities for
their engraver's joke.
The kaiser's persis tent interference
in all matters of art has cost the
fatherland heavy losses in Cancelled
printed matter. One Of his first acts
as sovereign was to show his sub
ordinates how the imperial arms
should be printed. After many thous-
and forms and documents had been
impressed with these arms an an
tiquary of high, authority proved to
his majesty that the new design was
not only wrong, but also humiliating
to himself. Eleven thousand five hum
>dred dollars worth Of papers were
promptly reduced to ashes.
In another case the kaiser Sub
edited" the German money order form
in such a way that the public could
not make head or tail to it. Finally
the new form had to be callel In, and
thousands of unissued copies destroyed.

UNIONS AND TRUSTS
HAVE NO SIMILARITY
Common Method Of Attacking
Trade Unions by Likening
Them to Trusts.
Unions Need no Defense
Ever on Defensive-No SYM
pathy Between Them.

A common method of attacking the
trades-union is that of damninE 1t
with faint praise by likening it to the
employers associations, and sometimes
to the trusts, says the Coast Seamen's
Journal. This method has the merit
of enabling those who use it to make
an apparently strong case against the
trades-union while pretending friend
ship for that institution. The argu-
ment in favor Of tn e trades-union
based upon the presumption that the
trades-union is a trust is like the argu-
ment in favor of a red-handed mur-
derer based upon the presumption of
his innocence-merely a piece Of fiction.
That argument gives the prosecu tor
in both cases an opportunity to pose
in a disinterested capacity. but the
result in both cases, /. O., conviction
and sentence to death, is equally g.
matter of foregOne conclusion.
The trades-union needs no defense at
this late day. Certainly, 1t needs no
defense of the sort here noted, name
ly, that as a trust in labor" 1t is no
worse than the trust in capital" To
that to say for the trades-union we
would suggest that they keep silent.
or, better still, that they come out
openly on the side Of; the opponents
Of trades-unionism. The trades.union
emphatically disclaims any sympathy
with, or similarity to. the trust or
other form of organization among en-
ployers. In particular instances these
bodies may resemble each other, but
we are now speaking OF the general
rule. OF course, we recognise that in
asserting the essential difference be-
tweenn the trades-union and the en-
ployers' association some dependence
must be placed upon an assumption Of
common agreement between honest
and Intelligent men regarding the
ethics of these respective bodies. We
have no fears upon this score. That
which we do fear is that dishonest
and uniptelligent men may secure the
public ear to q greater extent than.
the friends OF trades-unionismsar are able
to do, and thus secure . verdict In
their favor--tha is, III favor of the:
claim that the trades-unior u i

quently expended by various govern
ments to rectify errors, often appar-
emily trivial, in government printing.
The United States, some years ago,
destroyed 4OO0,CO0 telegraph forms
owing to the misspelling Of single
word. In 1888 several hundred thous-
and greebacks were Cancelled before
issue owing to the same cause. An
employe was convicted for attempting
to steal some of these worthless notes
with the intention of selling them to
collectors.
The Austrian government Is so in
tolerant of mistakes that 1T cancels
documents not only on the ground of
serious mistakes or misspelling but
even as the result of a misshapen let
ter. The use of a small. instead of q
capital 'B' in the word "Briefe" led
short time ago to the destruction
of $4,000 forms issued to the various
postoffices.
In 1850 an Austrian designer Of bank
notes signed his name in tiny letters
at the foot of aa drawing. The en-
graver copied the name, and before
the mistake was discovered 1000 notes
were printed, all of which had to be
burned.
A symbolical figure on another Aus
trian note was maliciously given a
beard which could be seen If the note
was held at certain angle In the
light.
Before the union of Italy more than
one attempt was secretly made to turn
official papers and notes to propaganda
ist uses. A custom-house regulation
form was so spaced by the compositor
that the initial words in every line, ii
read consecutive, were a declaration
against the papel claim to govern
Rome.
In another case the spacing Of words
in certain bank notes was SO arranged
that by drawing a pencil line in a
particular may a rude outline of the
arms of Savoy resulted. These notes,
of course, never saw the light, the de-
vile being too obvious to escape detec-
ti'\n.
IN 1901 Spanish engraver was
he \rd boasting that he had signed
hiA name" on every one of 10000 bank
no Us about to be issued. When called
up and asked for an explanation he
declared that he had been joking. But
an examination Of the notes showed

The political battle is on.

In circular just mailed to every
labor organization in Minnesota, the
state central political committee of the
moral and financial support Of organ
lied labor in the election of men favor
able to labor legislation.
There is to be no half way doing
in the contest. Labor is in politics In
earnest. Every foe to labor legisla-
ton is to be given a fight for his
money.
In concert with the appeal of the
political committee, the labor editors
of the state, and the publishers of
papers Interested in carrying out the
political program of organized labor
propose TO meet in Minneapolis for the
purpose of agreeing upon line of
editorial policy to best promote the
cause The meeting will probably be
held during the conference of state
organization interested in Direct
Legislation.
Secretary TREASURED G. W. Deason,
Of Minneapolis, in his appeal to the
| unions, writes as follows to all unions
| in the state:
. For a number of years the working
| people in this country and state have
! tried to secure the same recognition

For fifteen years the Minnesota
State Federation of Labor has been
begging the railroad labor organiza-
tions to federate with the working
mems organizations in other walks of
life
These pleadings were in vain until
this week when the Switchmen's un-
ions of Minnesota decided by unani-
nous vote to affiliate with the State
Federation of Labor.
The Duluth local of switchmen is
the first railroad organization in Min
nesota to make application, and 1t
was husky and enthusiastic commit
tidings 10th office of Secretary Nc
Even this week.
They were given full information
about the Federation and its work.
They also decided to affiliate with the
local Trades Assembly, and three
delegates were elected.
It Is understood that the action OF
the Switchmen's unions has been taken
| on the advice of Grand Master Frank
| T. Hawley, who has been making q
| tour through this section of the coun.
! try. Mr.. Haw1ey it is said, is very
grateful to the federated movement OF
the country for the splendid mora
support received during certain
troubles in which the Switchmen were
the principal factors. The United La.
Dor League of Western Pennsylvania
recently adopted strong resolution
pledging its support to the Switch.

gahela Connecting Railroad.
Why should not all labor organiza
tions feel kindly towards the Switch
men? They have always been the
advance guard In railroad labor af
fairs. They never "scabbed" on an
other organization, and 1t is to be re-
GREETED that this cannot be said abou
one other railroad labor organization
! The Switchmen are the men O.

outdoor, hazardous. daredevil work
moulds their characters Every oni
