Assuming that the advice to the
man who was hungry and out of work
is all in, we wonder, what of the
man.
Is he still hungry, or has he work?
A safe answer would be, it depends
on the man.
The fact of his being out of work
long enough to be hungry, is not TO
his credit. The socialists ratings
at present conditions are of no moro
use to him than are the sayings OF
Solomon.

Unon Labor Sermons. No. q.

Organized labor in Pensacola, as
elsewhere in the country, has a fight
on it's hands. This is especially true
of this city just now, owing to a strike
of the employees of the city traction
lines against an intolerabie rule OF
their employers. This fight. as all
others of a like nature, should be met
squarely and fairly. Labor should not
forget the dignity of its position, and
should do nothing that will bring a
stigma upon It's members No-NioIenoe
should be coTntenanced, and the fight
should be conducted with that degree
of regard for public interest that will
hold public sympathy where it now
is-with the working men. The men
should win, and IF they do not. the
public may rest assured that the car
men of the future, whether the present
striking employees or others, will be
organized. and that eventually labor
rights will be respected-even by for
eign corporations. Be ION the level
with the people. and the people will,
if not now, later, be ''on the level
with you. Fight if you must, but fight
fairly and openly, and only for what
you believe to be right

Labor and Politics.

Labor and Politics
Organized labor has delved into
every subject pertaining to its inter
est except politics hitherto. Politics
has generally been tabOOed as a theme
for discussion in regular meetings OF
locals and is prohibited by the con
situations of some of them. This at
titude is doubtless wise one since
1.-THE varying opinions of members
would so conflict as TO arouse antag-
oniSm and create factiOnal spirit
where only harmony should prevail.
Besides, it is a. subject, once brought
up, tends to prolonS meetings unne-
reSsarily. Recent decisions by the u.
5. supreme court and minor courts of
the land have shown the laborer that
the time has come when he must take
active part in the government of the
country if he IS ever to receive lust
rec0mpense for service rendered ana
equity in the enforcement Of the laws.
He pepceiveS now that he must
cease to be a mere automaton pIod-
ding to the election booth, ma-han-
ically marking his ballot as per in
StructiOnS of leaders CD of his party
the horizon of his intellect is wild
ening and he sees that the quadreu
nial voting of the democratic ticket
because he is a southern man and his
grandpa voted lit, or voting the repub-
lican ticket because by accident he
was born north of the Ohio, is a huge
farce The majority of voters are
wOrkingmen and by virtue thereof are
most affected by government: then
why should they not participate in the
selection of the government person
mel? Surely there is no better place
to discuss men and measures des-
tined for their ruling than the meet
ings of their labor unions. Pensacola
is lamentably slow in many ways, but
its workers are manifesting evidences

STEAMER COMBINE IN TROUBLE
Receivership Is Asked for Console
dated Steamship Company
at Boston.

BOSTON. Jan. 3O.-The proceedings in
this city for a receivership for the Consol-
idated Steamship company were instituted
simultaneously with those in the courts 5f
Portland, Me, and New York today. The
action was brought by William A. Muller
of Arlington, Mass. whose counsel filed
three bills of complaint against the Con-
solidated and also against two subsidiary
companies, the Eastern and Metropolitan
Steamship companies.
Petitions for an injunction against these
companies were also filed by counsel for
Mr.. Muller and for the Berwind- White
Coal company In his bill of complaint
Mr. Muller declares it his belief that the
Eastern Steamship company has total
floating Indebtedness of 81. 900, and that
the Metropolitan company has a floating
Indebtedness OF $1.S6OOO0. with unpaid bills
of $250OO0 and interest on outstanding bonds
of 81, 10000 The immediate cause of the
petition was the failure of the Eastern
Steamship company to pay a demand note
to Mr.. Muller OF $1,000
1t is expected that as soon as the United
States court in NeR York acts upon the
petition filed there. sinlilar proceedings will
result insthe courts here and in Portland.
The difficulties Of tnc Consolidated
Steamship company are regarded by bank
ers in this city as the result of excessive
steamship building. and failure on the
part of the company TO provide a sinking
fund for the underlying bonds of the six
companies that were consolidated by
Charles w. Morse of Bath, Me.
