Cheap. Overworked and Underfed
Workmen and Filthy and Un-
healthy Conditions Prevail.

None OF the packing, canning
and sausage-making plants, which
are now under such severe fire, are
union establishments. Their chcap.
oyerworked, underfed and under
paid labor is on par with their
dirty, filthy, unhealthy surround
ings. 1t is such labor that the
meat poisoners of the country need
in carrying out their criminal and
selfish designs. :.
The remedy for the disgusting
revelrtion in the meat business is
not to stop eating meat. 1t is to
compel the packers, butchers, etc. /,
to unionize their plants, and to
place the union label on their man
u1actured product or the Butchers
Union Ship card in their window.
This is more practical and effect
i've than 100 Investigations or in

What has been done by the
cigarmakeS, garment-workers and
other unioniZed trades can be done
by the journeymen butchers and
meat workers.
what have the meat poisonerS
gained by their ill-gotten gains /?
They are today being execr1lted all
over the world; they have been
pilloried as the meanest scoundrels
alive, and social ostracism is their
sure portion.
Their rotten practices will lose
them millions III money and the
confidence and respect of their fel-
low citizens, which they can never
recover in this world. Their
wealth stinks. 1t will plague them
for the rest of their lives.

In union alone does the work

That for the sake of these great
benefits the worker must surrender
some of his ''freedom'' is true, lust
as is true that the citizen must give
up some of his wild freedom in

society. Even membership in "A
club involves giving up of some
freedom, the acceptance of some re-
strictions.
The question to consider is
whether other things being equal
and the industrial order being
what it is, the individual workman
would be freer, in the true sense of
the word, without unions than he
is with them.
The fossils who talk about per-
sonal liberty never deal with this

THE PLUCKY GIRLS
Refused to Work With Brick1ayers
Who Wore Scab Overa1ls.

'Hou can't wear those pants

BIG LABOR VICTORY,
Eight-Hour Day to be Strictly En-
forced by the Government.
Roosevelt Heeds Gompers' Warming
and Will Put an End to Notorious
Violations of Statute.

a radically new policy will be
observed by the government in the
future enforcement of the eight
hour law. The change is the re.
suit of specific instructions from
the President, and is a tremendous
victory for organized labor. 1t
VIII go into effect at once, and will
nave an application in every part
OF the country, including the river
and harbor work at Baltimore.
Instructions are now being sent
TO all the engineers and inspectors
engaged upon construction worl-.
for the government, directing them
10 report to their superior officers
at Washington every instance of
violation of the eight-hour law
coming under their notice. AL
though this law has been on the
statute books for II years, it has
remained dead letter. Govern
ment officers winked at its repeated
violation. and took no measures
whatever to secure its enforce
ment.
The change in policy is due to
the protests made to the President
before Congress adjourned by Pres
ldent GomperS of the American
Federation of Labor. The latter
took to the White House large
list OF cases where contractors on
government work were keeping
their men busy nine and ten hours
day. GompeIs in a very plain
statement told the President that
the eight, hour law was being will
fully violated every day and that
government officials knew of the
transgressions, and not only failed
to correct them, but aided in cover
ing them up.
The President promised to in
Vestlgate the complaints and stop
the abuses, if it were found that
they existed. Then he sent for
Commissioner of Labor Neill and
asked him if the eight hour law
was being violated. Mr.. Neill adj
mitted that it was. Thereupon the
President directed that every in
stance reported by Gompers be
thoroughly investigated, and if the
claims were SubStantiated that
prosecutions be instituted. Com
missioner Neill found that practic.
ally everything GompeIs claimed
was correct.
AS ii result of his inquiries suits
against contractors working for the
government will be filed in a dozen
or more places in the next 10 days.
Right in Washington tIagrant
violation of the law was found.
heretofore the policy of the army
and navy departments, under which
most of the violations occur. has
been to reply to complaints by
stating that they were not reSpon-
sible for the enforcement of law.
In this manner they cavalierly dis
posed of objections, leaving the
matter i'll the air.
