But it typifies to blind humankind

rations for their fuel. He declared
that the people must be able to assert
their sovereign authority over the
transportation lines, and that they
must be so controlled as to protect
the general public. 1t had been said
that If the railroad companies want
the coal lands they will get them, re-
CARELESS Of what congress may do.
He could not agree to that doctrine.
II want" he said, Ito put on re-
cord the protest of one individual
against the doctrine that the railroad
companies can secure the mastery OF
the natural products of the country
so as to interfere with their being fair
and even-handed transporters of the
products of the country. I want II
put on record that this government
of the United States is stronger than
the railroads, in the aggregate, and
all the centralized power of the cor
porations represented by unlawful
corporations and trusts. 1 would
write it in the statutes that the rail
road companies must be common car
riers and nothing else, and write il
SO as to make it effective"
With the entire speech, and especi-
ally the closing sentence, the Labor
World is in full accord, and it is glad
to see the question that stirred the
senator to action coming into pro-
minence in the senate. The mastery
of mines by railroads, and the secur-
ing, holding, and withdrawing from
development of mineral or agriculture
al lands by individuals or combina-
tions of individuals, are two evils OF
immense proportions and paralyzing
power.

The Associated Press Dispatches OF
Thursday contained roast for An
drew >Furuseth Of the A. F. of L. leg

been before congress for more than
twenty years in the interest Of labor
legislation, and is regarded to be one
OF the brainiest men in the labor
movement.

have said:
III he understands this bill and ther
gives 1t his endorsement, he is an en-
envy to honest lobar, struggling under
ADVERSE conditions for better life
nay, ne would be an enemy to hum

The Labor World is familiar with
the work OF Andrew Furuseth. We
would never believe that he could be
Induced to be disrespedtful in his
work He is gentleman of the high
est order, and the Associated Press
misrepresents him when it leads its
story of the incident by claiming tina,
Mr.. Furuseth's remarks are bitter
against the president.
When the above alleged remarks are
carefully analysed it will be found thai
Mr.. Furuseth's logic is sound. Labor
is struggling under adverse conditions
Tor better life. The use Of the in
functions is being abused by the
courts, and labor leaders can not be
blamed for being severe in their de-
nunciat1ons Of modern court methods
We want the recently assumed powe,
OF the courts considerably curtailed
1t IS In the interest Of human liberty
that they should be restricted. The
Judicial depotism of today is far more
dangerous to human liberty than the
monarchal depotism of century arc
ever dared to be.
If President Roosevelt is support
ing a measure that legalizes by stat
ute the assumed power of the courts ir
late injunction cases, then Mr.. Furu-
seth's contention is sound. Not even

TRADE UNION POINTERS.
Outline Of An Address: BY the Rev.
Charles Sickle,

Organized labor welcomes Employ
ers' associations which are organized
for the purpose of guarding the
interests of their members, but it de-
plores union smashing" alliances Of
any kind which deny the same right
to organized labor. Organized labor
does not stand for equal earnings Of
all Work1ngmen, thus reducing 1.-The
skilled Workingman to the level of the
lowest; 1t simply insists upon the min
lmum amount which shall be paid all
workingmen. There is no rule which
prevents an employer from paying
an employe as much more as he
p1eases. 1t does not insist upon the
employment of incompetent men,. The
employer may hire whom he pleases.
It is only when the employer disFim-
mates against an employee because OF
his membership in the trade union
that organized labor thinks It neces :
sary to protect him. "'t
Organized labor does not draw the
color line. A portion of the pledge
taken by every candidate who becomes
a member of the American Federation
of Labor, Is as follows:
Il promise never to discriminate
against fellow worker on account of
creed, color or nationality" That a
eolored man is not always as accept
able as a. white man is sometimes
true, but in such cases it is true, not
because trade unionism is opposed to
the colored man, but because the gen.
eral sentiment of the community is
against him. No one has a right to
charge against trade unionism ex-
clusively, that which can be brought
home to other organizations and in
stitutions in the same community
which are supposed to have a higher
standard OF ethics.
Trade unionism is not a .'labor
trust" A trust excludes the many for
the benf1t of the few. Trades unionism
opens wide it's door to- every man in
the craft, frequently reducing and
abrogating the initiation fee in order
to make it easier for the candidate.
A trust is close corporations; a trade
union diligently seeks new .members.
The walking delegate" does not
have ultimate power in the matter Of
calling strike. The men do not
blindly follow his sdictation. A BUSH
ness agent can order strike only
when the question has been voted
upon by the members of the union.
He then simpl announces the strike.
Sometimes he is given power to order
the strike by the men themselves in
an extra ordinary case but even in such
cases. the action must be endorsed nv
those directly concerned. 1t is not his
business to stir up trouble" for peac-
ably inclined workmen. He is con-
sidered the most successful business
agent who keeps his men at work.
Frequently he winks at open violation
Of stipulated agreements on the part
Of the employer in order to prevent
strike. He is. really the "Pastor" of
his union. He visits the sick, he finds
work for the unemployed. and cares
for those who are in distress of any
kind. .-a -

RAILROADS AND COAL LANDS

In the senate, last Friday, Senator
La Toilette spoke on his amendment
to the Indian Bill. prohibiting the
sale OF coal lands in the Indian Ter
ritory to railroad companies.
He laid especial stress upon the
necessity of prohibiting railroad
stockholders from acquiring the lands
and In support of his contention re-
ferred to the fact that through their
officers the railroads Of Pennsylvania
own SO per cent of the anthracite
coal In the state. He declared that
they had driven the Independent ope-
rators out Of business. thus rendering
all the people who use anthracite
depend mt on the eight er MIR s.orDo--

A Case for the Humane Society.


From Harper's Weekly:
A Philadelphia real estate broker
purchased an automobile last summer.
and proceeded industriously to, famil-
iarize himself with it's mechanical con-
struction.
After a weeks coaching under the
guidance of chauffeur, the broker de-
termined one evening to take a spin in
to the country without his tutor. He
decided to ride slowly. And to insure
against being helplessly stalled on 1
lonely road, hes fastened the family
horse to the rear of the auto. SO that
1T could tow the machine home in case
of a breakdown. =
The auto chucked along gently, when
of a sudden the horse swayed and was
dragged to earth.
Poor horse!' uttered the broker,
sorrowfully, as he stepped from the
car; ITS utterly exhausted L.
"Exhausted!" snorted a passing
farmer, as he shifted the oily atmos-
phere, you mean asphyxiated,"

DEATH OF SUSAN B. ANTHONY,

DEATH OF SUSAN B. ANTHONY.
Susan B. Anthony, the great
apostle of human rights has been
gathered into her fathers in the full
ness of her years.
The grand old lady, after a long
life of usefulness, breathed her last
Tuesday morning. All America la
ments her death, but we cannot live
always.
We say Miss Anthony wa. tho
apostle of human rights. Her ad-
vocacy for the rights of suffrage for
women, was but in line with the pro-
gram of the age for the full recognf-
ton Of the rights of all human be-
ings.
How she was derid0d and ridicul-
ed for her opinions How she was
mobbed for the expression of her
conviction. She outlived it all, and
went to her grave enjoying the res
pect and admiration of the American
people.
She lived long enough to see her
cause encouraged in several of the
western states, and that it is making
good 1nroads into the eastern states
is evident from the gradually revision
of statutes permitting women to vote
In school and library elections.
1t must have been gratifying to
Miss Anthony in the closing years of
her life to see the principles which
she early espoused chrystallized into
laws.
Her followers in the several states
have comparatively easy time of it
now. The personal sacrifice is not
SO great since Miss Anthony under
went the rough experience of her
! early life. Public sentiment has
modified Of late, and before MANY
years shall have passed universal suf-
frage will be accorded to women.
May the day be fastened, and may we
never forget the heroic services con-
tributed by that most kindly soul.
| Miss Anthony.
