GOOD FOR HAYWOOD!
Refuses a Big Bunch Of Money to
Pose as a Dime Museum Freak.

Secretary Haywood has been Of
fered $1,000 to speak twice daily for
a week at a Denver amusement re-
sort, and he has Indignantly refused
the offer. Il am not dime museum
freak" declared Haywood. A lecture
bureau has offered him $4,000 for
one hundred lectures during the COM
ing winter, and this legitimate offer
he has under consideration.
Haywood postponed his return to
Denver, thus preventing a big recep-
ton from his friends, by remaining in
Salt Lake City until his old friend,
John H. Murphy, general counsel of
the Western Federation of Miners,
was able to travel. Murphy is in the
last stages of tuberculosis. Despite
his condition he insisted on appearing
with counsel during the trial, but
when it was ended he was unable to
return to Denver Immediately. He
was compelled to stop for rest at Salt
Lake City, and Haywood remained by
him.
John remained by me when l was
in trouble, and I'll stay by John un-
til he is able to get home" said Hay
wood. And so the Denver demonstra-
ton was sidetracked. At Ogden a
big crowd gathered to greet Haywood,
but he refused to shake hands with
anybody until he saw his invalid wife
safely in a carriage, and had greeted
his aged mother, who was at the
depot to meet him. When wife and
mother were safely in the carriage
Haywood turned to his friends with
smile, thrust out both hands and
said: "All right now, boys"
And that's "Bill" Haywood, the man

CAUSES OF SOCIAL EVIL

The social evil" is with us today;
it was with us yesterday; we are told
it commenced many thousands of
years ago; we have every reason to
believe it will be with us when
Gabriel toots his horn. Unless-we
remove the cause for it. When we
educate the people to know that poor
ly paid women cause it.; the child
labor produces it; poorly paid work
men encourage it, then if it will ever
be removed. Until then the best
thing we can do is to confine it as
nearly as possible to certain district
where policemen can keep it within
bounds. In the meanwhile, let's do
everything we can to keep children
ont of the workshops, and women,
when they must work, paid decent
wage.-Union Banner.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
First August Meeting Will BE Held
Next Tuesday EVENING.

The Central Labor Union will hold
it's first August meeting next Tues
day evening, and owing to the near
approach of Labor Day it is to be
hoped that every delegate will make
it point to be present. There is
lot of business waiting for the at
tention Of the central body. If the
delegates would show up and take
some interest in the work it would
be possible to soon report the organ
ization of two or three new unions
in the city.
Several of the unions have not
been represented for a long time,
some have never been represented,
and some have been represented but
once or twice during the last six
months. This is not as it should be.
The meet Tuesday night should be one
of the largest held in recent months
There is going to be an election of
officers in few weeks, and the ac-
credited delegates ought to be getting
in the habit of attending SO they can
select the best available material to
conduct the affairs of the body.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Glenn Williams Instantly Killed at
Western Newspaper Union.

Working a freight elevator without
orders and ignorant of it's mechanic
ism, Glenn Williams, aged IA, was in.
stantly killed at the Western News
paper Union building Monday morn
ing about 1890. Young Williams was
employed the day before as office and
errand boy in the office. Manager
Julian insists that running the eleva-
tor was not part of the boys duties.
Young Williams, it seems, stood on
the second floor and pulled the cable
that started the elevator upward. He
raised the gate and let it rest on his
shoulders while waiting for the plat
form to come up, and when it did the
gate held him until the platform
crushed his head like an eggshell
against the floor above. Death must
have been almost instantaneous

would make even Satan himself
blush. Haywood is making good
these days, and in doing so he is
making friends for himself and for
unionism. He is taking Murphy's ad-
vice. AS soon as he was released
from Jail and had greeted his wife
and mother, Haywood fastened to the
bedside of Murphy, picked him up in
his strong arms and Rugged him to
his breast. Murphy, with tears OF
joy running down his face, put his
hand on Haywood's shoulder an i

them? 1t is unbelievable.

SHOULDN'T WILL IT?

The use of Pinkerton detectives in
the Colorado mining regions should
open the eyes of labor leaders. 1t
should have a tendency to make all
meetings of unions open to the public

temptible detective, who, in the guise
OF union man, betrays his brethren

The approach of Miss Danforth's
