but it remains today as strong as it
did before the recent strike troubles.
Members Of this union have shown
themselves to be men made Of the

that they can and win stick together.
A strike is a peaceful cessation OF la
Dor, nothing more.
They talk about the death OF ex-
Governor Steuenberg. It was great
surprise to me how he lived SO long.
At the time of the recent strike he
established bull pen, and at one time
more than 700 men were therein con-
fined. They were held as prisoners in
this place for weeks and months. Fin
ally, after many died and others were

months.

will be a great change in the condi-

thing that goes with the capitalists is
force, and the workihgmen must force
the owners to time. The big men with
mint of money buy the congress, and
take the powers of the ballot box prac-

There must be change in the system

There are just two reasons why we
have no more socialists today. The
first is. ignorance, and the second is
that men know that If they support our

On the first few miles the roads were

made. One of the machines broke
down at Milan, and Charles McHugb

The Demand for Labor.

The officials of the District of Co
lumbia have found it impossible to get
a sufficient supply of labor for carry
ing out street improvements under the
supervision of the engineer of high
ways and have reSOrted to advertising
| in order to get the men they need.
Whether they will be successful is a
question as to which some of them are
reported as expressing doubt, notwith-
standing the fact that the work does
not require special skill and the wages
offered are 81 day.
To be sure this may not be regarded
as particularly high rate, but it is to
be remembered that ordinary manual
labor is all that is asked for. 1t is
stated that only once before in IS
years have the district authorities
found it necessary to advertise in this
manner. Apart from its political sta
tus, Washington does not rank among
the great cities of the nation. and the
scarcity of labor there would have no
marked significance if it stood alone
But from other portions of the country
there comes much the same story. The
railroads, for example. arc represented
in some districts as having great diff
ficulty to procure the men needed to
operate the enlarged amount of rolling
stock which they are providing as fast
as they can handle the enormous traffic
that is pouring in upon them.
Productive industries in general are
fully employed and there are few capa-
bic workers in any branch of industry
throughout the United States who are
idle except through their own volitiOn.
