THE REAL VICTIMS.
Here Are the Thousands Who Suffer
From Financial Panic.

New York City was the first to feel
the full effect of the gamblers and
bankers panic, and now is first to
feel severely the individual depres-
sion that is bound to follow in its
train. The dispatches from the me-
tropolis disclose that there is already
vast 'army of the unemployed" and
that it is daily growing larger. In
round numebrs it amounts to $4,000
men at the present time This is
divided, roughly, among the various
trades and crafts as follows: Build
ing trades, $4,000; clothing trades,
sc, 900; cigarmakers, $4,000. This vast
number of men out of work does not
include, of course, those who were al

LABOR IN MEXICO.
Sister Republic Will Soon Have a
Federation Of Labor.

That Mexico, which for years has
been free from the question, is to
have her labor problem, was mani
tested last week when it was an
ncunced that meeting of delegates
from various branches of labor
throughout the republic would meet
early next January. It is planned at
this convention by certain of the new
ly-created labor leaders to organize a
great union society similar to the
American Federation of Labor of the
United States. At present railway
workers and cotton-mill operatives are
the only branches of labor organized
in the republic.

Armstrong, president OF the Armstrong

ever listened to by the organization.
Mr.. Armstrong was not feeling well,
SO asked permission to sit while speak
ling. Seating himself on the corner
of table he proceeded to address the
carpenters, using conversational
tone of voice and taking his hearers
into his confidence. He divided his
talk into three parts, ''The Advantages
of Organization" "The Consideration
!, Due a 'Scab'," and "The Natural
Man" He illustrated the first by tell
ing his early experience as dump

!, pay $3.50 a week for board that a
self-respecting dog would scarcely eat
and abused like galley slaves. They
were unorganized. "You men would
not submit to it, nor would you be ex
pected to do so. Your organization
not only protects you but 1t sets yo,
on a higher plane" Mr. Armstrong
succinctly covered the "scab" question
by saying that the man who woult
benefit by organization but refuse tt
= help share the expense of securin!
;. and maintaining the bettered condl
;. tions that unions fight for, is entities
to no consideration whatever. Th
third section was couched in homel

Little Children Deliberately Murdered
BY Big Coal 1arons.
Dorothy Dale, staff correspondent
for the United Press. was sent to
Fairmont, West Virginia, to write up
the Monongah mine horror in which
nearly four hundred lives were sacri-
feed. The laws of West Virginia pro-
hibit the employment of boys under
fourteen in the mines, but the law is
ignored by the big mine owners, for
child labor is cheap and children are
plenty. Miss Dale, after investigat-
ing the disaster, sent the following
over the United Press wires:
Fairmont, w. Va, Dec. 10.-"Please
letta me work, lady. Gotta getta
money"
It was the appeal on every side in
Monongah today, and it came from
little girls, many of them not over

THE SWEAT SHOP CRIME.
What Celebrated Divine Says After
Studying This Evil.

Stuoylu9 MS EV!:.
That close observer of men, DR.. Ly-
man Abbott, once made the following
observation having special bearing on
the sweat shop oppressor:
"The portraits of all the pickpockets
of our country do not hang in the
rcgues' gallery; the pictures of the
biggest pickpockets of the country
are not to be found there.
sThe man who takes money which
he has not honestly earned from the
pockets Of the people, at the gam
bling table, or in the SPECTATORS shop,
or in industry in which yonug children
are ground up in the sweatshop in or
der to supply cheap goods, Is far more
of a robber than the petty thief on
the streets.
In the life of the baby, the child
and the young man in college, we re-
cognize the things that are made for
the baby. the child and the collegian;
but when the young man leaves col
lege and enters business, this whole
order is reversed, and our American
people seem to accept it as truth that
man was made for things, not things
for man, and that the measure of man
| is the amount of money that he can
make

The Nevada County picayune., 1907-01-18

The supreme court of the state of Arkansas, Monday morning, affirmed the decision of the lower court in the Hammond Packing Co. vs the State and thereby de- cided that that portion of the antitrust law passed by the last legislature requiring that corpo- rations against whom suit has been brought for alleged viola tions of the antitrust law shall bring before a commissioner books, papers, etc., and testify to show that they are not mem- bers of a pool, trust or combine, is constitutional.
 The case was taken to the supreme court from the second division of the Pulaski county circuit court and by the decision the Hammond Packing company is declared to be indebted to the state in the sum of S10,OOO for alleged violation of the antitrust law. This is the first case under the suits recently brought by Prosecuting Attorney Lewis Rho- ton, Attorney General Rogers and counsel to be decided, and upon this decision rests the re- suits of the other suits. The at- torneys for the state declare that by this decision their further prosecution of the suits against the five other packing companies has been greatly strengthened.
 It cannot be stated at this time whether or not the case will be appealed to the supreme court of the United States.
 The opinion was handed down by Chief Justice Joseph Hill.

Judge J. NJ. Carter has not dis appointed his friends. In his opening statement when court convened, he said that other peo- pie beside the judge had some rights in that court room: that 1t would be his earnest effort to treat every one fairly; that be- fore the law in his court all men would be equal; that he desired the cooperation of the bar and the people in administering jus tice; that no attorney or litigant would be permitted to talk to the court about their cases when court was not in session. These were words of wisdom, savoring of justice. Of all men the circuit judge should be free from taint or partiality in the admins .,,ation of his official affairs, and

The mayor made weak reply and suggested that the preacher might look at things differently were he in the mayors chair.
 However that may be we be- lieve that the simplest, easiest and most satisfactory way for the officer or mayor to pursue is to enforce all the laws as they stand on the statute books. That, to cur mind, is the purpose for which a mayor is elected. It is understood that his oath of office pledges him absolutely to enforce all laws.
 What about the Sunday closing laws? Isn't it being neglected?
 The majority of the people want to see the Sunday closing law enforced for the protection of their families and for the betterment of conditions in this town.
 We do not believe it conducive to local we'll being to neglect the enforcement of this important law, as we'll as many others said to be violated.
 If we are rightly informed the mayor has ample power to en- force all existing laws on the statute books, and it seems to LIS that he would find it good policy to do so. We are confident that any incumbent of this office would find that he had the SUD- port of the better element of the community if he would be faith full to his oath of office and in- augurate a new and better policy in the conduct of the municipal affairs of Prescott.
 Will some one hand us the camphor? Think of the great secretary of war having the te- merity to ask the honest tax payers of this land to reimburse the saloon keepers of San Fran cisco for liquors destroyed by the United States soldiers. This de- struction of liquors was in obedi- ence to direct orders from Washington. It was considered a military necessity for the preser- vation of peace and order in the stricken city.
 He asks for an appropriation of $3O.000. This is, indeed, a rendering on the part of the secretary of war.

It is reported that the warm weather and the rains that we have been having is liable to in- iIre the cotton left lying in the field. Two years ago, when the climatic conditions were about the same as now, much damage and considerable financial loss was sustained by the farmers owing to rot in the cotton left in the fields. This fact being well known, it is hardly necessary to say that the safest plan is to put your cotton under shelter.
