A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

For the third time The Wageworker
wishes it's readers, and the whole body
of organized labor everywhere, a
Merry Christmas" and Happy New
Year" For almost three years this
humble little newspaper has been en-
deavorings to advance the cause of
trades unionism. 1t believes that it's
efforts have been successful in some
measure. 1t knows that organized Ia
Dor today, despite the attacks from
without and indifference from within,
is in better shape than ever before.
Earnestness, loyalty and zeal are more
manifest than ever before. and the
growth has been substantial even if
not SO rapid as some of us might wish.
Christmas should be happy season
among organized workingmen, for to-
ed than ever before in the history of
the country. Labor is getting better
proportion of what it creates than ever
before, even if it still lacks very much
of getting all that i. deserves. Fra
ternity has taken on a new meaning,
and the fraternal spirit is stronger
than ever before in the history of the
labor movement. A new era is dawn
ing in the industrial world. The true
worth of those who produce is becom-
ing to be appreciated, and the man
who performs honest work is coming
to be more highly thought of than the
consumer who lives on what others
produce. Labor's awakening and eman-
cipation is drawing nearer with every
dawning day. God speed the day when
it shall come into it's own.
And now again, this time in the
language of Tiny Tim, The Wage
worker, filled with the spirit of the
rlad anniversary which commentaries
the birth of the Carpenter of Gallilee,
exclaims, God bless us, every one!"

THAT JAPANESE TROUBLE.

The little trouble over the school
question in San Francisco need worry
no one. The neople of California have
a right to Iun their public schools as
they see At. and all talk of federal
interference is pure rot. The Japa-
nese have not been deprived of school
facilities for their children. San Fran
ciscans merely objected to furnishing
free schools for adults. They objected
to having Japanese men and women
age mingling with the white children
of from six to twelve years of age,
but they did not deny these Japanese
all school facilities. They established
separate schools for the Japanese, just
as Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas and
a dozen other states maintain separ-
ate schools for negroes. sIn this the
San Franciscans were clearly within
their rights, and President Roosevelt's
remarks in his message were wholly
beside the question. 1t is not a mat
ter for the federal government to
handle
The trouble with these Japs is that
since their little victory over a coun-
try weakened to the point of dissolu-
ton by internal troubles, they have
grown altogether too "chesty.'' We
have praised them and made SO much
over them that they really entertain
the idea that they can whip all of Gre
alton. They are becoming a nuisance
their prestige on land and sea. We
cheerfully admit that the Jap is quite
a fellow, and that he is really phe.
nomen. But there are few things
he can not do, no matter how hard

SHEA, YOUNG AND THE REST.

We have been reading the Associat-
ed Press reports of the trial of Con
Shea in Chicago with a great deal of
allowance for prejudice on the part of
the managers of the Associated Press
But there is no doubt that Shea, Young
and the rest of that Transfers bunch
have been guilty of acts that deserve
not only the extreme punishment of
the law but the denunciation of organ
lied labor everywhere. We have an
utter adherence for the methods pur-
sued by Con Shea, but bad as he is
he is no worse than the men who have
worked their revenge on him by turn.
ing states evidence, and at the same
time preserving their own precious
hides
Organized labor, made up as it is
of honest men, with only here and
there thug or rascal, will not de-
fend Shea and his methods. On the
contrary they will denounce them and
will lend every effort to mete out the
punishment that their crimes deserve.
Organized labor has learned bitter
lesson, and it's real members no longer
resort to violence. The labor troubles
of the last decade have been brought
about by men whose unionism is of the
doubtful order. Just as joining a
church does not of necessity make a
Christian of man, SO does joining
a union not always make trades
unionist of a man. Trades unionism
is a matter of education, not of carry
ing a card, and the old trades union
lists long ago learned the utter futility
of resorting to violence. They now
depend upon moral suasion, the JUS
tice of their cause and the sympathy
OF the public. The printers strike is
an evidence of this. For over a year
that strike has been in progress, but
to date not one act of violence has
been charged, although two or three

their rights as American citizens des

he tries. Among them is the little
job of making Americans kow-tow to
him. Another is the little job of bluff
ing Uncle Sam. The Jap will be
treated with all courtesy and fairness
but Americans are going to protect
their school system, their traditions
and their spirit despite the insolence

UNIONS AND THE IMMIGRANTS


Trades unionism is doing more to
4Americanize the immigrant than any
other institution, not excepting the
church, according to the United States
Labor Commissioner, in recent re-
port 1t is teaching him the nature
of the American form of government.
In some of the older countries the
word government is synonymous with
oppression. In the labor union he gets
away from his clannish instinct, which
even his religion has not heretofore
been able to accomplish Aad he real
lzcs that the best available means to
save tie body and better conditions is
through the means of the union

San Francisco Visited
 By an Earthquake

San Francisco, California, was visit ed by an earthquake Wednesday morning between , and 6 o'clock, and the loss of life and properly will be enormous To add to the horror of the situation fire broke out in the business section, and as the water system had been badly crippled oy the earthquake there is no means of com batting the flames and the entire city is threatened with destruction.
 The sickening upheavel came like the roller sent by d Mississipbi River boat to toss d skiff. Floors heaved drunkenly and buildings tottered.
 The first wave passed and d minute later a slighter wave flowed Ill the same direction and for an hour the earth trembled from slighter aud slighter shocks until the force was spent
 The area covered by the eathquake is about 50 blocks, in which the build ings have been almost totally destroy ed. The greatest damage WAS done east and Market street south 10 the bay This area includes Sansome, Mission. Battery, Front, Davis, Drum mond streets, and from Montgomery to the bay.
 The earthquake was not restricted to San Francisco, but extended to Mexico. Oakland, Cal, suffered more than San Francisco. 4 church filled with people swayed but did not fall. Lower Santa Clara Valley was badly shaken. The town of Saline suffered greatly. At Gilroy all the windows in the business section were shattered by the shock, and great damage was done to private residences.
 The shock of the earthquake was felt as far south as Sana Babara.
 The flames are not confined to any well-aetned path, but are raging in practically every section of the city. The fire department is dynamiting building after building in an effort to stop the conhagration. but to no avail.
 Panic, like fire, is sweeping the city. Tbe inhabitants little short of mad from terror, are leaving San Francisco to it's fate, desiring only to escape from the doomed city. There IS a jam of frenzied people at the ferry, seeking to cross the bay to Oak land.
 Semi.oflicial estimates place the number of dead or injured at approx imately 1000.
 Two ships, anchored in the bay, are reported to have gone down during the earthquake.
 The Palace and Grand Hotels con- nected by street bridge, have been destroyed. The Examiner, Call and Rialto buildings are ablaze. The lofty Gail building is swaYing and is
