The Square Deal for Labor.


Two developments have taken place
in the past few days which are of in
terest to workers in and out of labor
organizations. One was the action of
the Mine Operators Association in
Goldfeld, New, which abolished the
card system by which all employees
were compelled to pledge themselves
to renounce the Western Federation
of Miners. The other was the decision
of the United States Supreme Court
that an employer has the same right
to discharge a worker because he be-
longed 10 labor union as that worker
had to quit such employer at will.
This decision annus the law of Con-
gress of 1893 which prohibited railway
companies from discriminating against
members of labor organizations in the
matter of employment.
In the Nevada case this action ought
to restore peace in the gold diggings.
The workers in the mines complained
that members of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners were shut out of EN-
poyment by the Mine Operators AS
ISOLATION on account of membership in
that organization. The operators de-
clared that they were compelled to eX-
clude these men because they were dis
turbers, and because they have injured
the community by giving it bad name
in the outside world. However, the
operators have now removed the ban
against the members Of the Federation,
and will allow them to work on the
same conditions as non-members. The
mines will be worked on the open
shop plan, without any discrimination
against anybody, in or out of the unions,
so long as he does his work satisfactor-
lily and refrains from meddling with
the management of the mines.
Both the act Of the mine operators
and the decision of the Supreme Court
are in the interest of fair play and In
dustrial independence Justice Harlan,
in rendering the decision, said that to
discharge a person because he was a
member of a labor union might be I'M
wise, but the employer, in discharging
him, violated no law. The Nevada adj
justment supplements the work of the
Legislature of that state in passing an
act for the establishment of a police
system to punish lawbreakers. The
open shop ought to remove the griev-
ance of the members of the Western
Federation of Miners who were dis
eliminated against by the employers.
No class privileges or determinations
should be permitted in the United
States. The $500, 600 members of the
labor unions of this country should be
allowed to have the same privileges as
the 10000 900 wage workers who are
outside Of the unions-no more and
no less.

Saves Boys from Vegraney.

During his life as brakeman Chief
McCabe had seen hundreds of little boys
many of them not more than eight
years old. kicked off trains to fall into
the hands of these vampires or not, just

trainman a boy car-rider is merely a

Cabe saw that large number of these

would "hitch onto" a milk wagon, and
had been carried beyond the point
where they had intended to drop Off; or
else over-imaginative readers Of dime
novels who had started West to find
some place where interesting things
still happen He realized how important
it was that these boys should be kept
from becoming the tools Of criminals
and constitutional loafers, but until he
became chief of police he saw no way
of doing anything. Then, however he
announced that Il he could help it mo-
