CARDINAL GIBBONS IS
ADVOCATE OF LABEL
Urges Congregation to Buy Union
Made Goods in Preference
to Others.
Powerful Rebuke Of Sweatshop
Methods Resorted to by New
York Employers. r.

Cardinal Gibbons, the highest digni-
tary in the Catholic church in this
country, urges the purchasing Of union
Slabeled goods as the best and most
practical method of abolishing sweat
shops. In a sermon to his congregation
recently in Baltimore he urged them
to discriminate in making purchases
in favor Of such employers as treated
their employees with justice. He said:
There is class of persons in this
city and in other large cities who are
employed by proprietors of large CLOTH
ing establishments. Some of these
workers are employed in the stores;
others make garments in their homes
and bring them to the establishments.
Many Of these workers, men and WON?
en-, are compelled to toll in sweatshops.
of which there are eighteen in one Sec
ton of this city, which are contracted
in space and poorly lighted and VEN
tilated. They are overworker and I'M
derpaid. After a careful investigation
I have discovered that after laboring
for six days at 10 or ~ hours a. day
their weekly compensation amounts to
Sc or SO. With this pittance they have
to pay house rent, food and clothing
and other expenses incident to family
life You can encourage and cooper
ate with that excellent society, exist
ing here and elsewhere, called the Con-
sumers' League. It is composed OF
| women jealous in works Of charity
and has already accomplished great
| deal in improving the condition OF
these oppressed toilers and of es-
tablishing happier and more just re-
lations between them and their EN-.
| ployers."

| the principles of conduct inculcated
by the Great Founder of the Christian
| religion.
1t Is certain that any condition or
system, that is recruiting ground
for the hovel and the house of shame
Is curse to the community, state or
nation that tolerates it, and good men
Of every creed ought to be a unit for
graduating IT,
II all buyers, or even a respectable
number of them, would demand the
union label On all articles to which
the label appertains the amount of
good accomplished thereby would be
simply incalculable.
This is an intensely practical age.
Any system that cripples the nervous
energy of men and women, and de-
stroys their moral efficiency, is DOOM
ed. If the Methodist Church desires
to maintain it's great evangelical rep
utation, it must discipline that mer-
CHESS and mercenary crowd that con-
trolls the Book Concern of the church.
Such a speech as was recently
made by the Methodist head of SYRIA
cuse university. wherein he put him
self, and his denomination as far as
he could, s1uarely on the money side
rather than ON the moral side Of in
dustrial issues, will not only do great
harm to the Methodist church, but to
the cause of evangelical Christianity
generally.
1t seems like a huge farce for
preachers to work themselves up into
an almost insane enthusiasm in the
pulpit, and when the emotion has SUBJ
sided to throw all their influence with
men and measures that work directly
antagonistic to the teachings of the
humble Gallilean

woes. Add 20 his allotment sufficient

and he will become less and less con-

MEN
PROGRESSIVE BUSINESS MEN
FAVOR UNIONS.

Progressive business men are III
longer opposing or attempting 10
destroy organizations Of their en-
ployees. They realize the necessity
of such organization and the futil1ty
of attempting to crush them. They
are beginning to understand that
the unions are a benefit to society
in general and that the efforts OF
the obstructionists to discredit them
by citing specific instances IN which
trade unions have committed errors
and making the claim that these are
symbolic Of the organizations as
whole should not be supported. The
far-seeing business man comedies
that in the main the unions are
right: that the fundamental prin-
ciples are correct; that were 1t not
for the organizations a chaotic con-
dition would exist which would
prove reactionary on society.
The trade unions are progressive
and because they are SO they meet
with innumerable obstacles. the
surrounding of which is an ardu-
Gus task; one which often threatens
their very existence. Because they
are continually involved in struggles
for their very existence, the oppor-
tunity for making serious mistakes
frequently occurs. But, in spite OF
their weaknesses, they are constant
ly moving forward along higher
plant. They are continually edu-
eating the workers to higher ideals,
making them lovers and champions
of Justice, honor and honesty.
The trades unions are often &C
cused by their traducers of making
unreasonable and arbitrary demands
upon employers, of asking for con-
cessions which it is impossible for
employers to concede.
Those who are prone to make
such accusations fail to take into
consideration the fact that the
unions as rule are in better posi-
ton to pass upon such questions
than the employers themselves. It
is no uncommon occurrence for the
members Of the unions to be far
better posted on trade conditions
and the economics related thereto
than the clippers of coupons who
employ them. Unions seldom make
demands for increases in wages and
reductions in hours of labor without
first carefully considering trade con-
ditions, cost of living and all econ
omic conditions which affect the
question. Right-minded employers
know and understand that the
unions act conscientiously in these
matters, that they are willing to
discuss all questions affecting their
relations with their employers, and
that once entering into an agree
ment they will abide by it even
though it should work to their dis
advantage.

THE COLOR OF FLAMES.

From the Chemist:
You have often noticed the many
tinted bars and bands that rise in the
shape of "forked tongues of flames"
from wood burning in the CRATE. It is
ten to one, however. that you never
have thought to figure on the cause
Of the variegated hues presented by
flames. To bring the matter quickly
to the point We will say that the many
colors are the result Of combustion
among the different elements Of the
wood. The light blue is from the i1y-
.drogen and the white from the carbon;
the violet is from the manganese, the
red from the magnesia and the yellow
from the soda, which are constituent
parts of the wood. =,

EVOLUTIONARY PROGRESS.

The people of this day are MAX
ing history so fast that we cannot
get the latest page read until an
other is thrust before us! We need
not refer to inventions any more
than to human action and effort.
Only a very few. years ago, who
would have thought of Society, of
Government, State or National, the
inherent power of all the people, as
sorting itself in the control of great
corporate powers and aggregated
wealth; of saying to the railroads,
You are common carriers, and, as
such, you are at least semi-public,
and in the exercise of private con-
troll, thus far mayest thou go and
no farther; of saying to great pack
ing concerns backed by more than
millions. In what you - the pub
lie are concerned and the public
shall know how you do it; of bring
ing to court and indicting almost
a thousand times at a single sitting
the greatest corporation ever known
on earth-who could have thought
of the possibility of such things only
a few years ago? Now they crowd
upon the eye and ear with such
startling rapidity and import as to
be bewildering., And they are evo-
lutionary rather than revolutionary,
and all in the line of popular rights
and powers.

The man who wants his employer

YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRIS
TAN ASSOCIATION, DULUTH
Will Try to Raise $4,000 Before May
First

cITSys
The men and women Of Duluth are
making an effort to raise this amount
for the purpose of building a perma-,
nent home for the association.
This is one of the most worthy or
CARNATIONS in the city Of Duluth, and
every man and woman will be asked
to contribute to this fund to build
home for the women wage earners of
Duluth. Over one hundred thousand
women went to the association last
year for lunch, gymnasium, cooking
classes, sewing classes, bible classes,
socials and religious meetings. Many
more would have gone but for lack of
room in the building to accommodate
them. Committees have been formed
among the business men and women
for purpose Of raising the necessary
funds.

Among the few international unions
Which do not pay a death benefit is the

Death Of Freddie Pickering.

Freddie Pickering, the young
est son of Mrs. R. Pickering, of
this city, died at his home on
Saturday at twelve o'clock, of
diabetes, and the funeral services
were held from the Episcopal
church at three o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
The death Of this young man,
thus stricken down in the flower
Of his youth, has cast a shadow
Of gloom over the entire city and
community. He was but nine
teen years of age and numbered
his friends by his acquaintance.
The malady to which he succumb-
ed is incurable when it fastens
itself upon a young person and
he knew for some time that his
stay upon earth would be short
which seemed to make his cir
cumstance even sadder.
The bereaNed mother and fam
lily have the sympathy Of all in
their affliction, which is indeed a
great one.

In Memory sf Freddie Pickering.
We had a little treasure once,
He was our JOY and pride,
We loved him, ah! perhaps too we'll
For soon he slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling;
Lonely are our hearts to-day,
For the one we loved so dearly,
Has forever passed away.
'Tis hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart,
'Tis hard, SO hard, to speak the
words:
1--WE must forever part. !"
Dearest loved one we must lay
thee.
In the peaceful graves embrace
But the memory will be cherished,
Til we see thy heavenly face.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms
are DER,
On the border land we left him,
! Soon to meet and part no more.
