conditions more real benefit would re-
suit. But the sweatshops where these
victims cough away their lives are not
flounted before the face of the pub
lie. They are hidden away and their
very existence denied by that class of
commercial harpies who profit by
their labor, and it is only when the
gasping victim staggers forth and ap-
peals for aid that their existence is
recognized and some effort made to
relieve individual cases.
Labor unions have fought these
conditions for years, and such few
laws as have been passed TO anchor
ate these conditions are to be placed
to their credit.
The United Garment Workers, par
tlcularly in the East, where the sweat
shop flourishes, have done their ut
most to better the condition Of the
workers in the clothing trades, and
with some degree of success. But
while they have had the moral sup
port of organized labor, the union
men have continued to buy the pro-
duct of the sweatshop in preference to
garments bearing the label Of the gar
ment workers.
The workingman who rails at the
law for not suppressing the sweatshop
while he himself buys the product of
1t should case his clamor and see that
the garments he wears bears the
label Of the United Garment Workers.

Story of Santa Fee Strike.

goods that were shipped weeks ago,
the worst tie-up of the freight in the
history of the Santa Fee road is now
on."-Los Angeles Examiner, Feb. 10,
1907.
But of all the "accidents'' that
have happened on the Santa Fe rail-
road, since the machinists walked out
three years ago, none have more
significance than the accident" that
happened to Master Mechanic I. C
Hicks, last Sunday night. 1t is a
strange story but the truth is unques-
tionable, as the following clipping
from the Los Angeles Times of April
81 is proof:
I'm one Of the most peculiar acci-
dents in railway. annals l. c. Hicks.
master mechanic of the Santa Fe
railroad, escaped death last night

The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1907-06-22

Just three years ago, or to be ex-
act, on April 80, 1904, the machinists
| on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad went on strike for re-
| duction of hours from to 10.
These men were the best mechanics
obtainable and when they left the
their places were mostly the discard
ed, the refuse in the world Of labor,
those unfortunate beings who finding
themselves unable to compete with
skilled mechanics are only employed
in a great Worship when there is
| strike.
Some skilled men, to be sure, re-
manned in the shops, or everything
would Immediately have come to a
standstill and these men were natur-
| ally the superintendent and the few
! experienced mechanics that were
! tempted, by big increase in pay, to
assist in the terrible task of keeping
| the rolling stock in shape.
Few people realize what this means
the horror Of trying to guide UNI
skilled men In the task of patching
up disabled engines, that keep piling
into the shops day after day, and
knowing all the time that the ignor-
ance of some poor scab will certainly
be followed by a wreck of mingled
shattered locomotives, cars and
mangled bodies, heaped together on
| some desert stretch or mountain pass.
These are the nervous strains that
turn the superintendent hair grey
and makes him as fit an object for
the scrap pile as the engines that he
is continually patching up.
A strike, such as the Santa Fe is
now engaged in, is nothing short of a
daily recital of horrors-hospitals are
filled with engineers and firemen who
have been caught in the wrecks; I'M
thinking passengers are killed or dis
abled in the frequent smash-ups; no
trainman leaves his family without
the thought that he may never see
them again-for a railroad strike is
war, and war is hell.
In dollars and cents, no one can
estimate the cost to the community of
this Santa Fe strike; probably the
following clipping from the Los
Angeles Examiner pictures the STOP
page Of traffic as we'll as any single
piece of evidence that could be .f-
fered:
"Over two thousand cars Of mer-
chandise billed to Los Angeles and
San Francisco are tied up between
Albuquerque, N. NJ, and this city on
the Santa Fe lines because Of lack of
motive power.
Cars that left Kansas CITY or Chi
cago over a month ago, consigned to
Los Angeles merchants, are side
tracked at Ration, Flagstaff or Cajon
waiting for engines to pull them up
the heavy grades. Many OF these cars
have been waiting fortnight or
more at the foot of the heavy grades
and it will take weeks to deliver them
to their destinations
Judging from complaints of local
merchants who say they cannot get

write to the railroad commits
sioners about our freight and
rates and other mean
treatment that we were receiv-
ing.
That started our boom. The
newspapers published our letters
in the funny columns. A lawyer
came to see us about raising
money to sue the railroad for
discriminating against us in an
attempt to compel us to move
up to a town on a branch line,
where they owned land and had
other interests and wanted to
build up the town. The lawyer got
mad because we would not sign
over half of our property to him
and give the town a new name.
Or rather, the old name that he
was using himself, and some Of
our citizens got mad because
we did not give the lawyer what
he wanted. They told US (the
citizens) that they controlled the
business, had all the money and
all the brains, and if we didn't
do what they said we would not
get railroad rates or anything
else.
Well, we didn't do it; we didn't
have much money, but We got
together and raised what we
could and sent for a newspaper
man. We also sent money for a
carload Of watermelons, ice cream
freezers, American flags and
things to make o noise with.
The new spaper man got busy
and wrote a lot Of good things
about our town and invited the
people of the world to come and
make their homes with US and
enjoy the blessings that we were
so bountifully supplied with in
the way Of good land, good
water and good climate, and to
come tn time to eat some Of our
good watermelons on the Fourth
of July. Now my friend, that
is the reason ! say to you come
and open a store here and put in
a stock of goods like mine or
better than mine and | will get

pie hear that we have a new
store in town they will come to
see what your prices are, and if
you can't sell them | will have a

town and thereby increase the

WHAT CAN WE DO. AND HOW
CAN WE DO lit

questions that were put to me by
the citizens of the West Texas
towns that | visited lately, while
in search of oil and gas land in
that part of the country.
All Of these towns have rooms
fitted up with maps and other
advertising matter describing the
surrounding country and giving
all the information that pros
pectiye settler or man with
money to invest would want to
know if he wants a farm, pas
ture or truck garden, brick clay,
oil or other kind Of deposit.
They keep the tables we'll cover
ed with pamphlets and other
descriptive matter giving all such
information. You can also meet
one or more of the business men
of the town in these rooms, who
will tell you all about the town
and the opportunities they have
for business houses. If you ask
one of these men what he thinks
about you going into the drug,
grocery or dry goods business he
will take you by the arm and
walk q block or two with you to
introduce you to a merchant
who is in the business in
which you wish to engage, and
request him to give you all the
information wanted about his
particular line of business. The
merchant will take you into his
office and proceed to show you
what business he has done in a
given number of days and give
you so much encouragement that
you are liable, if it is your first
experience, to think that the
merchant wants to sell out, but
your suspicious will soon turn to
admiration for the man who can
sacrifice all selfishness for the
good of his town. At least that
was the way | expressed myself
to one of the business men of a
town not a great way from Dem
ing, but he did not take that view
of it. He looked at it from q
broad business standpoint, and
to prove it he explained to mt
his own experience. | will give
his own words: Three or -four
stores carrying the same line Of
goods will bring more people t
a town than one store that has
q monopoly Of the business.

that the people did not go to the
towns where one man controlled

thought we were charging them
more than the merchants in thu
next town, where there wer'
four or five stores carrying

we did charge them somewha

the reason that we had q SINAI
