The exposure Of union graft does the cause
Of labor more harm with the public than any
other evil connected with organization. Violence
in strikes is poor leadership uuwise or i'm
potent, and every one knows how the cause Of
union labor has suffered from It in the past.
The Chicago case proves corrupt leadership and
this case of bribery and those in the building
trades in New York a couple of years ago tend
10 arouse suspicion OF every strike Without
the support of public opinion strikes rarely sue
ceed, and public opinion will be hard 10 win If
il be shown frequently that the strike is for the
leaders pockets.
The Chicago case is peculiarly evil one
According 10 the sworn testimony of Albert
Young, for two terms president Of the Team
sters' Union Of Chicago, he and Cornelius P
Shea, president OF the International Brotherhood
Of Teamsters, and several other leaders called
out the Chicago teamsters for the sake of
bribe OF S1.50O The money was paid by the
Garment Workers Union, which wanted SYN
pathetic strike The strike involved a loss TO
the merchants OF Chicago of nearly S1OOO0O0O
But leave the merchants Of Chicago and their
losses out Of consideration. Pass over the riots
that came from the strike with their record Of
killed and injured Ignore all but union labor
itself. Thousands Of teamsters were out Of work
for long period Their loss IN wages was pnaDv
thousands of dollars. They and their families
SUFFERED through the prlYaC0n or enforced Idle
ness. All this 10 put $1,000 into the pockets OF
half dozen labor leaders! The very men whose
business It was 10 safeguard the interests Of
labor sold IL out. They inflicted that unnecessary
suffering on the men they led They rocked not
Of others empty stomnchs 30 that their purses
were full. And II was "sympathetic" strike
that bought with this money What sym
pathy had the bribers. brother labor men, with
the suffering they were buying? The whole
thing is shocking revelation Of heartlessness
involving rwo unions. The professional
friends" Of labor were traitors: have the
enemies" Of labor ever treated It as badly?
The teamsters' organization was a curse TO
it's members, and II this thing should go on IL
the Youngs and the Sheas of Chicago and the
Parkses and Weinseimers Of New York should
multiply, organization would become a curse 10
labor in general. Strikes called for the purpose
or hlling corrupt pockets might DO labor more
harm than organization ever has done II good.
Fortunately most OF the greater unions are free
from the suspicion Of such dishonesty, but labor
must exert all It's energy IN getting rid Of its
grafters. Unfortunately labor unions are not
in practice sufficiently democratic Many Of
them in the less intelligent trades are practically
autocracies or oligarchies. A leaders word is
the law. The Car of Russia has not more
power in his dominions than ii "Sam" Parks in
his. If the teamsters union had not been an

THE ANDRE HOyUHENT.

A spot Of great historic interest, the place
where Major Andre WAS hanged. was brought
into fresh notice last week 5y c curious mistake
which the Rockland County authorities com
mitted. The land was sold for non-payment of
taxes, as 1t has been repeatedly before. Last
year, however, the tract was purchased by the
American Scenic and Historic Preservation So
ciety, whose charter distinctly exempts its prop
erty from taxation. When the deed whereby
that organization acquired ownership was put
on record notice of the fact was served on the
assessors. Hence II may be taken for granted
that last weeks proceeding was the result of
a mere oversight. Obviously, the county could
net give a clear title 10 any buyer where n
sale Illegal, but in the present instance its
dilemma is not serious No one wanted the
property, and the county itself was the only
bidder,
When the late Cyrus W. Field purchased the
knoll on which the execution occurred the pro-
priety Of erecting any memorial there was ques-
toned by more than few. Even yet. perhaps
there is a little lingering opposition 10 the step
though TO a large extent ii is probably based on
a misunderstanding of the underlying motive
The only sentiment to which Mr.. Field was COM
mitted is that which Dean Stanley expressed for
him in the inscription upon the tablet marking
the spot This reads as follows;
Here died. October >. 1880. Major John Andre
Of the British Army, who entering the American
lines on a secret mission TO Benedict Arnold for
the surrender OF West Point. was taken prisoner

fought, not 10 perpetuate the record or strife

RUR4L POSTAL NUIsAyCES.

Rural mail carriers in certain parts Of Penn
sylvania contemplate appealing TO the authori-
ties at Washington for relief from what they
consider great nuisance. They declare that
some Of the people along their routes buy only
a single stamp or postal card at g time. or
wish the carrier 10 wait after buying card
until a message can be written on IT, In these
ways his progress is delayed. and some Of
the people are thus prevented from getting their
mail soon they would like
1t is not unlikely that the same annoyances
are experienced in other states than Pennsyl-
vania. Human nature is much the same the
world over. Hence q question Of considerable
Importance is raised by the proposed protest.
and one on both sides of which a good deal can
be said. on the one hand II is obvious that the
carriers are not the only persons who are in
couvenlenced by the hindrances OF which they
complain. Hardness in delivery constitutes a
genuine. II not easily remedied, grievance.
People living the last half of a free deliv-
cry route certainly have rights which ought to
be respected. On the other hand. customers who
spend only one cent or two cents for postage
are technically within their rights, and the gov
erument would naturally hesitate to lessen the
benefits which the free delivery system was
designed 10 confer on the farmer.
Nevertheless, it is possible for the recipient
Of these favors to show his appreciation Of
them. and at the same time manifest little
consideration for his neighbors. by managing
his purchases in such a manner as 10 consume
the smallest amount of time. If he leaves his
money with an unstamped letter and if il is
not necessary to make change for him. the car
rier ought To be able 10 serve him quite as
quickly as Il the letter was already stamped.
AS to the lawfulness of demanding that the
carrier wait while an inscription is put on a
postal card. however, there is room for doubt
Whether the resulting detention amounts 10 ten
seconds or ten minutes it may fairly he CON
sidered an imposition and an imposition on
the public too. There would seem 10 be no i'm
propriety in the issuance of circular of instruc-
tions by the PostOtftce Department tn rural
mail carriers, explicitly Indicating the limits
Of their duty in this particular. No one could
justly resent refusal TO wait for the accom-
mediation Of q customer if a carrier were able
TO show that he had been officially forbidden to
wait

CUBA FREE AND PEACEFUL.

The impressions and shrewd observations
of A visitor TO Cuba are recorded in the letter
from Havana which we print elsewhere in
this mornings paper giving an illuminating
view Of the condition of the island under the
American provisional government. 1t is graft
flying to be assured that Cuba Is again entirely
peaceful and orderly. as a result Of the inter
vention of the United States and it is no less
gratifying to know that the administration of
Governor Magoon is commanding the respect
and confidence of all parties. The general be-
lief in this country that in sending Mr.. Magoon
to Havana the President was putting the right
man in the right place seems now to be fully
confirmed.
Nor will the policy which is being pursued by
the provisional government, as explained by
our correspondent meet with less approval. It
was an unweicOme thing to intervene at all in
Cuban affairs but since it was necessary to do
so, it was surely the part of wisdom to do so
thoroughly and efficiently. The Palma admin
istratiOn had done wrong. OF that there is,
unhappily no room for doubt. And the wrong
which 1t had done was the cause Of all the
trouble. The revOlutionists demanded that it
should be undone as a condition Of their laying
down their arms and Secretary Taft judi
ciOusly acceded de made his promise not be-
cause the Cubans demanded 1t, but because II
was right. 1t is being fulfilled with flrmness
ana tact and its fulnlment should supply the
foundation for just and lasting peace among
the people of the island.
Equally thorough is the policy of Governor
Magoon in guarding against a repetition OF the
causes which led to the late disturbances. The
laws Of Cuba seem TO have been so drawn as
to make possible much national usurpation in
municipal affairs and much governmental con-
troll Of elections, under the mask OF legality.
Governor Magoon purposes to end all that.
Before he calls q general election, which shall
bring into being a new insular government 10
take the place Of the provisional government,
he viii revise the laws in the interest Of good
government and Of fair and free elections. II
r. does not seem feasible TO hold the elections
Eefore next July, both Cuba and the United
States can better afford TO wait even so long,
and then have a stable and adequate govern
ment created. than TO hasten matters prema-
turely. and thus invite another Insurrecton and
another Intervention

autocracy or an oIigarchy it would not have been
possible to buy strike by buying half dozen
men. II the union had been an intelligent DEM
ocratic organization, whose officers were respon-
sible and representative, it would not have been
possible for the purchased leader of them TO
excIaim: ITO hell with the laws of the union ~
and call strike despite them. The more intel
llgent and, therefore, more democratic labor
unions have different class of leaders They
seldom resort to strikes and prefer to settle their
difficulties with capital on a reasonable basis.
Intelligence honesty, democracy are the need OF
too many unions, as this Chicago case proves.
Let the labor men fight their battle for their
own betterment by combating their foes within
their own ranks-graft and autocracy
