Labor Unions IN Pnlltlos.

Displeascd with the reception Of its
official list Of grievances by President
Roosevelt, Speaker Cannon and other
officials at Washington, the American
Federation Of Labor has issued a pro-
nunciamento in which il threatens to 60
into politics for the purpose of securing
all that il wants, or may think il wants.
in the way OF legislation
In the course Of a circular letter sent
to all the trade unionists OF the country,
the Federation says: "That the American
Federation Of Labor most firmly and un-
equivocally favors the independent use
OF the ballot by the trade unionists and
workingmen, united regardless OF party,
that We may elect men from our own ranks
to make new laws and administer them
along the lines laid down in the legisla-
tive demands Of the American Federation
Of Labor, and at the same time secure an
impartial judiciary that will not govern US
by arbitrary injunction OF the courts nor
act as the plant tools of corporate
wealth"
Herein, it will be seen, the Federation
practically charges that our courts are
corrupt, and it would have the labor
unions so vote as to secure judges who
would do as the labor leaders desired
them to do, regardless of law and order.
This feature Of the situation need but be
suggested in order to arouse the people
to a sense OF the danger that would attend
the realization Of the American Fedora
tons desire for courts Of It's own.
We have little belief, however, in the
probability that the labor unions of the
country will enter politics as an organized
body, with the purpose of securing,
through their votes, laws in the sole in
terest OF organized labor. To do this
would expose the numerical weakness Of
the Federation, as enumerated by votes
actually deposited in the ballot boxes.
With the elimination of the votes Of those
who have a personal concern in partisan
politics, OF those who are subject TO the
influence Of shrewd politicians and Of
those who are closely attached to their
political faith, there would be few left to
vote the ballots which stand for the
aspirations and objects Of the labor unions.
And the labor union leaders themselves
are too wise to adopt this suicidal political
policy. They can do much more effective
work for themselves and their organiza-
tions under existing conditions, by hold
ing candidates for Office and members of
Legislature in control through fear of
the bugaboo OF the "labor vote" From
candidates they can exact any manner
OF promises, and from weak-kneed moral
towards in the Legislature they can wrest
AS we have already had a sample in
Delaware-the legislation they demand.
Therefore, we do not look for the
American Federation Of Labor to 60 into
politics as an independent political or
ganization-not this year, at any rate

The Straight Way.

Police Commissioner Bingham Of New
York City, who has already shown the
good effects of his administrative ability
In the decided improvement of the police
force under his control recently gave an
illustration of the directness of his methods
which goes a great way towards revealing
the secret of his success.
A Brooklyn preacher made serious
charges against certain policemen I'M
mediately Commissioner Bingham sent
for him and asked for details and proof.
But the preacher refused TO comply, de-
string to content himself with making
charges.
Commissioner Bingham s next step was
to have the preacher summoned before
a court, where he will be required to give
testimony under oath. Then it will be
known whether his charges have any
foundation or not, and it will not be
surprising il it turns out that they arc
nothing but wild talk
Every community has among it's MEM
hers those who are ever ready to make
charges against public officials, but who
lack the courage TO prefer them to the
proper authorities, whether they are true
or false. The plan pursued by Com
missioner Bingham will bring these per
sons TO the book, and will result in either
proving them TO be reckless slanderers
or directing the machinery of the law
against those whom they accuse.

According 60 r.. G. Dun & Co.'S Re
view, prices at present are 6 per cent
higher than they were on October LIST,
1908, But how many people are earning
q per cent more now than they were last
October ? The answer to this question
may well incite inquiry as to the cause
Of constantly increasing prices, which
make the cost of living so high that many
people who earn more money now than
they did twenty years ago find them-
selves worse off, 30 far as making both
ends meet is concerned.

Years in Cradle at Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Born with
out bone in his body and absolutely
helpless, Antonio Congro, of Brook
Ign, lived for twenty-one years. He
died on Friday and was buried .yester-
day. His case attracted much atten-
ton from medical men, who frequently
visited the home of his father to ex-
anime him.
From the day of his birth until his
death Antonio was never out of a
cradle. He could see, but could neith-
er hear nor talk. He was powerless
to move hand or foot, and yet was per-
fectly formed, except for the fact that
he had no bones. Antonio was twen-
ty inches in height, and his body was
broad. Despite the absence Of bones,
for years he apparently enjoyed the
best of health.
