ANOTHER CONVERT.

The Atlanta Constitution, the lead
ing daily paper of the south, in- an
editorial recently says: SLOWLY, but
surely, the world is beginning to UNI
derstand the labor movement, and
with that understanding comes each
day a larger measure of cooperation
and sympathy from the other classes.
But there are still those who cannot
or will not see the workingman' 8
movement as it is intended by him to
be, therefore he is periodically de-
nounced. He is a striker, they say.
So he is, but not until ne has been
arrogantly told that there is nothing
to arbitrate. He boycotts. Yes, but
he learned the use of that weapon
from the cruel 'blacklist-the blacklist
that made him an industrial outcast,
that denied him the right to be a
breadwinner and sent him away from
his home with the wall of his child
and the sobs Of his wife breaking his
heart The striker is but a. rebel. The
rebel has been the torchbearer Of
civilization since man realized he had
a soul.''

PENDING LABOR BILLS.

Many matters Of interest to labor
are being discussed at the present
session OF congress, but with a man
presiding over the deliberations Of the
House. who is the avowed champion
Of capitalistic monopoly, and possess
ing more arbitrary legislative power
than any man in the civilized world,
organized labor will get no remedial
legislation.
There are two bills which we UNDER
stand the American Federation will
endeavor to have enacted into law.
The two are the Pearre anti-in-
junction bill and the Gardner eight
hour bill. Both of these bills were
before the last congress, but were
never reached for final action. They
have been reintroduced, and active
work to secure their passage has al-
ready been begun by the legislative
committee Of the Federation.
The Pearre bill prohibits injunctions
in labor disputes unless necessary to
prevent "irreparable injury to prop
erty or to a property right of the
party asking the application" The
bill also seeks to restrict the meaning
Of the word conspiracy" so that it
will not apply to agreements between
laboring men concerning the terms or
conditions of employment Of labor.
= The Gardner bill Is intended to limit
to eight hours the daily service of me-
cnanlcs and laborers employed upon
work done for the United States or
any territory of the District Of Co.
lumbia This bill was favorably re-
ported by the labor committee of the
house last session, but nothing more
came Of it.

ULTIMATE EFFECT,

The ultimate effect Of recent court
decisions against labor will be to open
class interests, promote their solida-
rity, and hasten the overthrow Of the
prevailing. A few more such decis-
ions. a few more Haywood and Cold
field cases, a few more useless panics
caused by capitalistic gamblers in
which the common people are the
chief sufferers. and we will have the
masses voting right, and for emanci-
patton from wage slavery.-Exchange

the right kind of man for mayor.

hoboes that they brought to New
Orleans as strikebreakers. At first
the railroads refused on the ground
that 1t would be violating the anti

remarkable how the big corpora
lions will violate every law of God

made to make them do their duty
by the public they are always able
to find out from their so-called
legal department that it is against

WHOM TO PATRoNlzE,

Organized labor, in it's battle for
Justice and recognition, must realize
every legitimate weapon to make its
influence felt. Organized labor must
consistently strive to uphold it's
friends and refuse to strengthen its
enemies. Whenever a merchant shows
by his actions that he is friendly to
the cause Of labor, he is justly en-
titled to the patronage Of the working
class, while the man Of business who
is known to be unfriendly should b
just as severely avoided. =

CHANCELLOR DAY.


The chancellor Is an exempliti-
cation of very old Scotch para
doxical saying, that 1t is possible
to have education without havlns
brains"
The chancellor ought to learn that
in the United States of America
special interests shall not be permit
ted to prevail when in conflict with
the common good.
Further, that laws are enacted
for no class or financial condition,
but for the people. I~ot the rich
people; not the poor people; not
the great; not the small; not the
white; not the colored, but all of
the people, rich and poor, great and
small-all alike.
If the interests of whom the egos-
tical chancellor is the paid direling
don't enjoy the disapproval of a
long suffering people, let them
transact their business honestly.
Here is the language in which
the chancellor makes poetry do
duty in expressing the sentiments
of an educated ass: ''before anoth-
err half decade blood will flow in
our streets and the night riders
torches will light the heavens with
appalling light
Bah! Should there ever be such
a departure from the principles OF
our republic as your language
would imply, we know where you
could be found-hiding in the tall
timber.
The facts of the case are, chan
cellor, you prove yourself to be
profoundly ignorant of men and
the world, howsoever proficit you
may be in certain species Of tech
nical knowledge.
You are not alone in this respect.
The world is full of people who
have mastered the intricacies OF
the Greek verb, and don't know any
more about the practical affairs OF
life than Jack Rabbit.
Your rhetoric is matchless and
so is your logic, but for different
reasons: the former for it's words,
words, nothing but words; the lat
ter for the lack of the conclusion
being justified by the premises.
There is not a fallacy in whately
or mills that does not find illustra
ton in your deliverances.
The elementary error of a mis-
use of words is objectionable in any
one, and in you it savors of dis
honesty. You say that honesty is
our nations mightiest asset" why
don't you practice a little of the
ASSET" What would you think of
a man who would use such mean
ingless term as "atheist-christian
Wouldn't you suspect, either that
there were rooms to let in his up
per story, or that he was wilfully
dishonest?
Your use of the term anarchistic-
socialist is on par with "atheist-
christian We are not a socialist,
but we know the doctrine of the
socialists is just as much removed
from anarchy as christianity is from
atheism. If you don't know this
you had no business to write upon
the subject at all.
The trouble with you Chancellor
Day is that you have imbibed the
spirit of your masters, who are
panic stricken because the American
people have called a halt on their
rascalities.

NO ROYAL ROAD.

Like everything else of human
endeavor, there is no road to sue

sacrifice. There will come times

made, honest failures will be mis-

magnified. But 1t is only as these
are overcome: as the barriers arr

HOW no PREVENT PANICS.

HOW no PREVENT PANICS.
A safe and sound, but simple ano
elastic American Banking System ie
desired by all. The people have
gotten weary of a system that ev-
cry so often collapses-brings de-
struction and ruin to thousands
and paralyzes every line of bust
ness
There is an easy solution of the
question, at least so it seems to the
Labor World, and if congress would
follow our advice, panics would
never again be disturbing factors
in our Industrial and commercial
life
Our plan would be the insurance
of the peoples money, by the people
and for the people. We insure
practically everything that we pos
sess, against every kind of calamity.
But we do not insure our money,
and deposit it in local banks, the
managers of whom may be honor
able and we'll meaning enough, as
are those with whom we are &C.
quainted, but under our present
system, they are at the mercy of a
gang Of Wall Street gamblers, who
apparently can precipitate a money
panic whenever they see fit
In the last analysis then we pro-
tect everything we own by insur-
ance, except our money, and that
we trust to an aggregation of the
most INSCRIPTIONS gamblers the
world has ever known. No wonder
we have panics; the wonder is we
don't have them oftener. Perhaps,
however, we have them as often
as in the judgment of those who
create them, the people would toll
crate continuance Of banking
system that renders the creation OF
such panics possible.
Our plan is the enactment OF
such drastic laws as would Cd place
all institutions receiving money de.
posts, under the immediate control
of the National government, and (2)
which would empower the govern.
ment to insure or guarantee the de-
posts of all such institutions.
A fund from which the govern.
ment could reimburse depositors OF
insolvent banks could be raised by
means of a small annual tax or
the average daily balances of de-
positors, or a tax on the banks
themselves.
This tax would be very small
never amounting to more than |;
per cent of one per cent annually
for statistics show that the actua
average yearly losses from banl
failures are now less then one
tenth of one per cent of the an
nual average deposits.
The plan here suggested woult
work no hardship to any one. 1
would not affect the rate of inter
est paid to depositors, nor the rat,
charged to borrowers. With tn
government behind the banks, Their
would no longer be any need o
keeping out of circulation so larg
q proportion the banks funds, il
surplus, as is now done.
Under such plan the govern
ment bank officials could max
laws and regulations that woul
be rigid enough to absolutely con
troll the situation, and runs" caus
ed not by people needing thei
money, but because they hav
doubts of it's safety, would be VI

back of the banks no panic woul
ensue so long as the governmer
endured.

party is rich in achievement 1t is
written large upon the statute books Of
the nation. 1t is a record of construc-
tive craftsmanship without u parallel
in the worlds history. Mr.. DaIzelrs
speech ably presents the record of this
great party, and it's claims upon the
confidence and support of the American
people. His address Is SO comprehen-
sive, So condensed, SO full of valuable
facts and figures that it would not be
possible to summarize it in the limits
of an editorial. 1t should be read in it's
entirety. 1t speaks for itself, clearly.
conciscly, and with no uncertain sound.
1t was a great text, and Mr. Dalzell
handled it with consummate ability.
He has given us in brief form Won
derfully clear and comprehensive state
ment of the notable part which the Re-
publican party has borne in the life of
the nation.
1t should be read by every voter in

against the separating of the civil and

country, and seems to be the principal
target of the very widespread revo-

Ameer of Afghanistan is concerned,
his recent hostile movement appears
to have been a dismal failure. The
English have fortified khypher Pass
to such an extent that it is practically
impregnable and they were able to
defeat the forces of the Amecr with
heavy loss. 1t appears that the
