REASON WHY HE
USES THE LABEL
Philadelphia Business Man Ex-
Plains His Position on Union
Labor to Opponent 70 Cause.

An opponent of the union label
wrote Philadelphia business man
protesting against the appearance
of the label on the business mans
printed matter, and asked why the
label was used. Among other
things, the business man said: ct
can remember when, in my boy
hood days, little boys and girls
from 6 years ofage upward trudged
through the SNOW and mud, winter
and summer, to twelve hours of
toll in the mills of Lawrence,
Lowell and Fall River, Massa-
chusetts When women who were
employed in the mills or factories
were subjected to the grossest
familiarity upon the part of SEN
sual men. When there were no
private dressing rooms, and prac-
tically no separation of the sexes
in any of the toilet arrangements.
When all the influence of old and
young were to promote immortality.
When there was no protection to
employees at dangerous occupations,
FOR the safety of life and limb.
When there was no mining in
spection or factory inspection.
And / have been associated in
practical way with the develop
ment of labor legislation, so called,
which has covered all the points
referred to. as we'll as te the system
of sweat shops and the employ
ment of mere babies under I'M
healthy conditions at laborious
toll, making the very cradle part
of the mechanism of profit to the
employer. l desire to say, upon
the evidence written in every line
OF remedial legislation, that union
labor has been the great instru-
mentality of reform. I do not re-
member in all my experience,
which has covered such legislation
in several states, that manufac-
turns associations, or associations
of employers in any industry, or
general reform organizations, have
been prominent in their demands
for the application of remedies.
1t has always been the labor unions
that have knocked at the doors of
legislative halls. Theys have im-
peratvely demanded recognition.
They have abolished to a great
extent child labor.-They have
protected the employees in every
industry against injustice and
brutality, and have almost trans.
formed labor conditions through
out the country.

Powerful interests are at work
throughout the country to destroy
organized labor, and the working
people who have been looking to
me unions for protection should

themselves according. The time

Norris & Rowe have genuinely

GROWING program that they are
presenting. Their program US made
up Of some of the best circus talent
ever seen in this city with any show.
There are some daring bareback
riders, hair-raising ariel acts, trained
elephants aid other trained animals,
acrobats, contortionists and other
acts too numerous to mention, to-
gether with a bunch of funns clowns
to provoke screams of laughter.
The big tents were crowded this
afternoon and those who did not
see the circus this afternoon should
certainly not miss 1t tonight. 1t is
good and intact, equals many circuses
that have appeared.

New York, Aug. 11-Four children
of one family dead and ten other per.

the record of fierce blaze that swept
through crowded tenement in East

Scores were carried down ladders

and wild scenes of panic ensued as
the scantily clad tenants rushed to
the street. The dead all were the
children of V. Sausto, janitor of the
house, aged from eight months to ten
years. Frank Sausto, son of the jan
itor, is dying from burns and Sausto
and his wife are both suffering from
severe burns about the face and body.
AS he leaped from a second story
window to escape the flames Saliva
tore Logeferni had his right hip dis
located and several others were more
or less seriously injured either by
burns or from Commissions or lacera-
tons caused by leaping from windows.
By the time the fire was discovered
the flames mad spread through the
first floor hallway and had seized on
the stairs, cutting off escape. There
were $50 persons in the building.
When the fire1nen arrived ladders
were rushed up the sides Of the build
Ing and thirty persons were rescued
by means of them. Many would not
wait for the ladders and, craZed with
fear, leaped to the street below, re-
ceiving injuries more or less severe.
After hard work the firemeh finally
got the blaze under control. -
The police declare the fire was I'm.

GREATER NORRIS & ROWE
CIRCUS IS HERE TODAY
Is Clean, WelI.Conducted Show, and
Performance One Of Best Ever
Seen Here.

The creator Norris & Rowe circus
arrived in Bemidji at an early hour
this morning from Grand Rapids,
where they played yesterday to an
enormous crowd of pleased and sur
prised people. Word comes from
the Rapids that the Norris &
Rowe circus is one of the cleanest
and best shows that has ever visited
northern Minnesota.
Although this was the first visit of
this circus to Grand Rapids their
reputation had preceded them as
being clean, square-dealing people
and they entirely justified their
reputation by their performance and
behavior there yesterday.
The juvenile element of the city
are happy today. This is the day Of
days nearest the hearts of the
youngsters, and furnishes papa and
mama an alibi for being present at
the circus. For some reason OF
other man is loath to admit that
he is interested in the advent of the
great American amusement.

so blase that they fail to receive
