MACE1INISTS
ARE LOYAL.
Fight Still on With the B. & O.
Railroad-West Virginia Judges
Come in For Well Merited Rap.

That the strike of the Machinists on
very much alive affair was shown by
the report of conditions made on the floor
OF the Federation last Wednesday night
by Business Representative A. T.. Stark
of the Machinists. He told the delegates
that the union had lost but eight men
out of nearly 100 in the three months
and one week that the strike has been on.
Any statements to the effect that the
fight is off he branded as unaualifiedly
false.
To show the disposition of the com
pany he read samples of two injunctions
which have been issued against the men,
one i'll West Virginia and the other in
Ohio. These two show the differences
that exist in the judiciary of the States
The West Virginia judge enioined the
men from doing little more than breath
ing, refusing them the privilege of Ioiter-
ing about the company s shops. On the
other hand, the Ohio judge, while he
granted an injunction, did so only with
the expressed intention of keeping the
men from acting disorderly on in turing
the company's property.
He told the men that he believed in
organization, that he believed that the
organizations have right to strike, and
that they have the right to picket after
they have gone out, but that they must
do so in an orderly manner That is
why he issued the restraining order
Stark said that the strikers, from the
actions of the two Judges have placed
West Virginia outside of the Union,
while Ohio is still a member of the United
States.
AS showing the disposition of some
men who sit dispensing a form of ''ius-
tlce, - Stark told of a case in West Vir-
ginia where man and his wife were
walking along n road accompanied bv
their dog. The animal stopped at a tel
egraph pole and barked at the lineman
who was at its top. Both man and wife
said to the dog: ''Come away, Fido.
don t You know that s scab up there. ,,
Each of them was sent to Jail for six
months because of this remark

with clothing, shelter and all the com
forts of life? And yet every decade sees
less per cent of the wealth produced
remaining in the hands of the wealth
producers. This condition is neither lust
not satisfactory. The toilers on the
farm and in the factory have cause to
oelleve that they are being cheated out
of part of their earnings
one OF the things that labor has reason
to fear is the effect of private monopoly.
The trusts have been growing rapidly
during the last few years and all wage
earners are menaccd by them Some have
suggested that the employees should ioin
with the employers in controlling the in
dustrics and then divide the advantages
of higher prices Such a proposition is
immoral as well as impolitic The en-
polyes could no more justify aiding the
trusts to eXtort from the consumers. even
IT they could share in the result, than an
honest citizen could justify giving aid
to highwayman on promise of part of
the plunder.
But such an agreement would be as
unwlse as wrong. If trust made articles
are sold at high prices, compared with
other products, the demand will be re-
duced and labor thrown out of employ
ment.
In a test of endurance the farmer can
stand 1t longer than the man in the fac
tory, but why should the laboring man
in the city array himself against his best
friend-the farmer?
1fle trust hurts the consumer first. and
then the producer of raw material, and
last-and possibly most-the laborer. All
three should combine to destroy the pri-
vate monopolics now in existence and to
prevent the creation of any new monopo-
lies.
Next to the trust in its evil effect upon
labor is what is known as government by
injunction. According to our theory of
government, the executive, Legislative and
judicial branches should be kept sepa-
rate and distinct, but it is coming to be
the custom for the judge to issue an order
declaring an act to be unlawful which
befor" was unlawful and then to as
sumo the prerogatives of the executive
and enforce the law, while as Judge he
sits without jury to condemn the person
whom he is prosecuting. The main pur-
pose OF this judicial process is to de-
prIve the accused of trial by jury, and
while every citizen should resist this at
tack on the jury system, the employees
OF great corporations are just now its
special victims.
The aSeearners as u part, and as an
important part, too, of society, are inter
estcd in all questions which effect our
civilization, but they are at present ex-
periencing the necessity of reform along
the lines above suggested.
1t was noticeable everywhere that those
who address the people at Labor Day
meetings point out the fact what wrongs
could only be remcdicd at the ballot box
Mayor Reed of Kansas City stated the
ease aptly when he said that the laboring
men not law w-breakers, but should be
law makers
Jackson, in his celebrated message We
toing the extension of the bank charter
said that the humber members of So
ciety were the victims of injustice when
ever the government, by granting legisla-
tive favors and privileges, made the rich
richer and the potent more powerful.

THERE is an ever increasing demand
for good seamstresses.
The market may be- full Of them. az

ones. The good ones have every bit oG

had her experience with the seamstresa

puts her trimmings on askew and cuts
her seams before she is sure Lots
and lots of women go out by the day
without having learned one bit about
sewing other than what they have
picked up In spelling their clothes.
And thess women wonder that they
don't find employment! Why should
they?
The proper thing when starting out
to be a sesrastress IS 20 take a course
In dressmaking, practical dressmalxing
that is in remodeling skirts, cutting
over sleeves and making simple dresses

Some women undertake the mendinRs
for bachelors and bachelor maids at so

When you go out sewing by the day
have preliminary talk with your GUS
toner Look at the gowns to be re-
modelled and make out a list of the
things needed, so that you will have
them ready on the day you need them.
Never promise to be on hand on a GER
