WORKS BOTH ENDS,

When the average contractor or en-
ployer in these days is talking to the
newspapers the interviews read some
thing like this:
Eyes, sir, the country was never
more prosperous. Our business has
increased so per cent over last sea-
son. Got all we can do and pros
poets brightest"
When he is waited on by his EN-
ployes for a raise he makes a noise
like this:
Sorry, boys, but the business Isn't
paying. The raw material and labor
are taking the profits. We took out
contracts when materials were low
and labor plenty and we're absolute
ly running at loss when we figure
in the capital invested"
A protean artist on the vaudeville
stage couldn't make quicker light.

The total attendance was consider

HOSTILITY or CONGRESS.

The hostility Of congress to the la
Dor measures IL manifested not by the
defeat Of the latter. but by their
deliberate. and In fact malicious. sup
preston In committee. \ i
A congress- that should openly OPP
pose any measure by defeating 1t on
q vote might be entitled to respect,
II only upon the ground that it pos.
sesses the courage OF It's convictions;
but q congress which positively re-
fuses to discuss. to say nothing OF
voting upon a given measure, is en-
titled to nothing but contempt upon
the ground Of its cowardioe.
It matters not what may be the
merits or dement's OF the bills in
question: once introduced, they are en-
titled a full and fair hearing and to
a vote.
The fact that measures are sup
pressed in committee is presumptive
evidence Of their merit, or at any rate
OF the likelihood OF their passage;
otherwise there would be no motive
In preventing the discussion Of them.
The treatment that was accorded
labor bills and the representatives Of
labor by the last congress Is Disgrace
full from every point of view-to say
nothing Of being grossly unjust to a
large element Of the people-and IN
dicates q low caliber Of statesnanstip.
if, indeed, that term may properly BE
used in this connection.
The responsibility Of this situation
rests directly upon the Republican
party and upon the speaker OF the
house, who dses his enormous; Sin Fart
despotic, power Of his office to frati-
fy an ingrained prejudice against Or
ganized labor and every other element
Of the masses.
With Speaker Cannon in the chair.
supported by weak and willing ma
jority Of representatives, tbs house has
even in name, and has become merely
a machine to record tho will OF the
Interests or powers in whose ser
vice the dominant party is enlisted.
All party considerations aside. and
regardless Of individual opinion con
corning this or that legislative mea-
sure, this situation liz intolerable tc
every fair-minded person. presenting
! as it does a condition OF despotisu

Unless change can be effected thu

as it now is, a pitdful and expensive

YOUR LABOR PAPER.

President Ulrich, of the Iowa State
Federation of Labor, paid the labor
press a compliment in his annual re-
port to the state convention recently
held. He said:
1.-THE labor press stands higher to-
day than it ever has in it's history.
While the obstacles to overcome in
bringing it to it's highest efficiency
are still many, yet progress has been
distinct. Realizing the great power
for good to our movement, all pos
sible encouragement should be given.
'Our membership must appreciate
the fact that the need of such press
is urgent, and that with every encour
agement in 1t we place ourselves in a
position of being better able to reach
the general public in the education OF
our purposes, principles, and deeds so
necessary to rapid progress.
THE public press, because of it's
necessity to draw financial support
from sources comprising within their
ranks our strongest opponents and
enemies, cannot be relied upon to set
forth our views, rights, purposes and
deeds.
I'm the first place, but very few Of
the editors, publishers, and news
gatherers have any distinct under
standing of our needs, DESIRES,
thoughts or deeds; and In the second
place, their advertising space, the
source Of profit of newspaper is
filled by the interests generally hos
tile to all that our movement stands
for.
"A great many Of the criticisms of
the labor press come because of the
same conditions-necessity driving
the publishers to doubtful friends for
advertising matter in order to maet
expenses, and then becoming fearful
O? publishing matter sought after by
our membership lest the advertising
patronage be withdrawn.
There Is only one way for us tt
have a perfectly free and independent
labor press that can help us to the
utmost in promoting our welfare, anG
that is for every member of a trade
union to help in supporting sucl
labor press.

GREAT "slNNERs" RETURNING.

GH6AI SINNeHS RETURNING.
New York Typothetate employing
rrinters) are beginning to see the
light, since the Typographical union
refuses to quit fighting for the, few
remaining nine-hour shops. The Tea
pots have forgotten their position of
three years ago, and have changed to
the extent Of actually conceding there
may be merit in the unions claim.
The Teapots have become real tame,
and the New York organization has
mailed the following to it's members,
which is a. very diplomatic way Of
crying ''quits": D.,
I'VE believe that the United Typo
thetae Of America should remain an
association broad enough in its policy
to include all printers, whatever their
opinions concerning the exped1ency or
inexpediency Of employing union labor
or making union contracts. The United
Typothetae OF America must always
obAgate itself and its money to tire
support and defence Of It's members
who believe in and operate open shops.
That attitude must never be laid aside,
yet, without forsaking this pur-
| pose. it is possible for US to operate
our association on a. basis broad
enough to include all master printers
who are awake to the value and i'm.

THE ENEMY ALARMED.

The enemies Of organized labor are
very much agitated over the political
action of the American Federation OF
Labor they charge that President Com
pers and other officials Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor have made
a bargain to. deliver the labor vote
Labor knows that the charge has
its Inspiration in a habit of thought
quite common in the circles from
whence the charge enanates.
The habit referred to Is that Of re-
garding labor as a. commodity, mar
ketable article, a thing to be bought,
sold, exchanged or delivered, accord
ing to the state of the labor market"
At bottom; the protest against the
alleged bargain to deliver the labor
vote" is. directed not against the char
acter Of the. transaction itself, but
against the parties engaged In 1t.
The offense charged against Presi-
dent Gompers is not that he has "bar-
gained to deliver the labor VOTE" but
that he has bargained to deliver the
''comnodity'' to the wrong customer.
The American Federation of Labor
knows that labor is not 'commo-
dity," and that the labor vote" is not
deliverable quantity.
The Federation knows more than
this; it knows that labor can be
united in it's own interest for action
in the political field as we'll as in the
economic field. This knowledge in
spires both the hope Of the Federation
and the fear Of the Federation's oppo-
nents.
The Federation hopes by campaign
Of education to unite the labor vote
in such manner as to make it: an
effective factor at the polls. 7: g. FL
The opponents Of the Federation fea,
the result Of that campaign and or
| the desperate chance OF defeating Il
! have raised the false issue OF an at.
tempt to deliver the labor vote.''
It remains to be said that that fea1
IS as we'll founded as the method
adopted to offset it is absurd an6
futile.
That the campaign Of education will
| produce material results is now beyont
doubt.
| That the "lahor v0te' will ha "tie
livered" where it Will do most good
Is equally certain.
The delivery will be made, however
not i'm obedience to "oFders from
Gompers'' or from any other source
but in obedience to the deliberate judg
nent of the individual voter

THE QUIET MAN.


Don't think because a man keeps still
That he was born a fool;
The quiet man thinks much more than
The talker as d rule.
While others prate he thinks AMI
thinks,
And works great problems out.
Quite willing only to discuss
The things he knows about.
The talker makes a lovely show;
You'd think he knew it all,
And yet his knowledge oftentimes
Is very, very small.
He's like the empty tin cans tied
TO dogs tails by the boys
There's nothing in them ever.
But they make a lot Of noise.
The quiet man says little, i H..
! But he thinks an awful lot. Z.
And when it comes<Hto knowing, ~
Why, he's Johnn! on-the-sp
He seldom speaks, but when he does
The wise ones al draw near,
For he's most sure to say something
It's worth your willie to hear.~---.

Mrs. Spates Brady has returned
from Tidloute. Pa. where she was
called by the death of her aunt, Miss
Susan Emaline Magee. whose death
occurred on Sunday, the 18th of Janu-

The Tidioute News of the 18th in
speaking OF her death says the follow.
ing concerning her history:
Miss Magee was born in Lime
stone TWP, two miles up the river,
about s!xty.five years ago. the daugh-
ter of Alexander C. and Nancy Smith
