BUCKS STOVES IND
RANGES ARE UNFAIR
They Are Made by Van Oleave,
i President Of the Citizens
Alliance. ~
He Tries to Enjoin A. F. of L.,
Because He Says it Hurts His
-, Business.

The Labor World has heretofore
published the fact that the Bucks
stoves and ranges, which are handled
in this city by French & Bassett. were
on the I'VE Don't PATRONAGE" list Of
it is expected that all friends of labor
will purchase only such stoves as are
made under fair conditions, and will
particularly avoid buying those on the
UNFAIR list of organized labor.
In his bill of complaint Mr.. Van
Cleave alleges that the patronage of
the Bucks Stove and Range company
Of st. Louis has been greatly lessened
in many parts of the country and is
threatened with ruination, all because
the American Federation of Labor haa
approved the action of the Internation-
al Brotherhood Of Foundry Employees
ir, declaring the product of the Buck
Stove and Range. company unfair, and
because, that fact Is published in the
American Federationist, and the trade
union papers of the country. This is
as we would wish it.
In Mr.. Gompers answer he assures
workingmen and their friends that the
A. F. of L., will make this 4 test case
II 1t possibly can be done. or course
it is we'll known that Mr.: Van Cleave
has advised his associatiates to raise
a war fund of 100000 for this year,
and proposes to raise a million in the
next two years to crush organized
labor, and he will undoubtedly be
given a chance to spend a gootlly por-
ton of it. T.,
In the. meantime Mr.. Gompers adj
Yises:
$50 long as the right of free speech
and free press obtains, we shall pub
fish the truth in regard to all matters.
If any person or association challenges
the accuracy OF any Of our statements.
we are willing to meet him or them
in the courts and defend ourselves. So
long as we do not print anything which
is lfbelous or seditious, we propose to
maintain our rights and exercise lib
erty Of speech and the liberty of the
press. If for any reason, at any time,
the name of the Bucks Stove and
Range company does not appear upon
: the I'VE Don't Patronize" list of the
American Federationist (dnless that
toward labor). all will understand that
the right of free speech and free press
are denied us; but even this will in no
| way deprive us, Or our fellow work.,
men and those who sympathize with
our cause from exercising their law
full right and privilege of withholding
their patronage from the Van Cleava
company-the Bucks Stove and Range
company Of ST.. Louis.
80 far as we are personally and
officially concerned. we have fully
stated our. position in the American
Federationist and elsewhere. -. F., =,
do not fail to keep the Bucks
Stove and Range company Of st. Louis
In mind and remember that it is on
the unfair list Of organized labor of
America"

BEssEMeR Steel.
Dust what II Is and what n Has
Made PosnIbIe.


Just what II IL and what n Has
Made PosnIbIe.
Most persons are unaware Of the rev
olution created in industrial circles by
the introduction OF the bessemer proc.
ess Of making steel. This process be
longs In the same category with the In.
vention Of the printing press and the
introduction Of the steam engine In It's
relation to human progress.
Steel Is compound of iron with a
small percentage Of carbon, which Is
rendered malleabIe by being cast while
in state Of fusion. Cast iron is iron
with much larger percentage OF car
bon and other impurities. Bessemer's
process converts cast iron Into steel By
blowing a blast Of cold air through
melted cast iron. The oxygen OF the
air burns out the carbon. silicon and
other unwelcome elements until the
right proportion is reached. and then
the steel Is cast.
The effect Of the process was at once
to cheaper steel and to increase It's use
enormously. In 1855, when Bessemer
took out his first patent. steel sold in
England for Eve times It's present
price.
Sir Henry Bessemer shared the com.
mon lot Of inventors in encountering
lncredulity when his discovery was
first announced. but he was more for
tunate than most inventors. He lived
to enjoy the rewards OF fame and for
tune and to witness the worldwide
adoption Of his process.
The first bessemer steel rail ever
laid down was at Derby. England. in
1857. II was placed at a point where
It had been necessary TO renew the iron
rails once in three months because Of
incessant wear. II was not taken up
for sixteen years, during which time
100000 trains passed over It
II is to the bessemer process that we
owe the rapid development OF our great
railway systems. The giant locomo-
tiyes that draw long trains across the
continent and the steel rails upon
which they run are due to its discoy.
cry. 1t is estimated that the bessemer
process has reduced the cost of land
transportation two-thirds, and II has
also greatly cheapened transportation
by water. II has opened great tracts
Of fertile country which could not have
been reached otherwise and has given
the farmer good markets. In the de
yelopment Of electric railways it is all
the time bringing together scattered
villages and giving new opportunities
for intercourse.
We owe to Sir Henry Bessemer the
improvements in our modern steam
ships, the strength and lightness OF
the bridges which cross our rivers
countless modern forms Of machinery
and their cheapened products and the
skyscrapers, which could not have been
built save by the use of steel.-New
York Herald
