Wilkesbarre. Pa, March 1.-Two
mine workers we're killed, another is
missing and about twelve were badly
burned by an explosion of gas in No.
IA colliery of the Erie Coal company
at Port Blanchard, Pa, near here.
Fire followed the explosion and sixty
miners were entombed back of the
fire for several hours. All, however,
were gotten out alive. They made
their way to the surface through all
old working. Some of them were over
come by black damp, but these were
carried along by their fellow work
men. There was great rejoicing at
the colliery when 1t became known
that the entombed men had reached
the surface. The Ore in the under.
ground working is still burning, but
1t is thought to be under control. The
two men who lost their lives were
foreigners.

SMASHING IAN IDOL.

1--WE must have a practive tariff to
protect the workers." declars Senator
Dick and his colleagues in the senate.
That's very fine if the tariff really
protected all the workers.
But for one protect for the worker
there are ten for the man who owns
! the work of the worker.
As the Toledo Union Leather well
says:
"If Senator Dick wants to protect the
workers let him and his gang quit bay
ing at the mooIl and raise their voices
against child labor sweat shops, unsani
tary workshops and declare for higher
standard of wages, the only manner in
which civiizSaicn can advance; old age
pensions, simon pure free speech, free
press and countless other things which
the courts and mis- kind are stealing
from us day by day.
"The highest protected industry, the
steel trust, after being given a license
to rob the nation through tariff, is
demanding free Ia Dor, which is only
another word for ps uperized labor, and
is now engaged in battering down the
scale of wages of the steel workers in
order to make larger dividends, more
govt, snobbery AMI divorce court pro-
cesdings.
"This bunk about protecting the work
| ers is falling ON deaf ears. The time is
gone by when we throw up our hats
when papsucking- politicians t ell us
about thtir efforts to protect the brain
and Drawn of America. The workers
get about the same kind of protection
from these parasites as is handed out by
the left hind foot of a Missouri mule"

Organization IS q Necessary Measure
C. Protection.
The experience IF wage earners
through all the years IF trades union
history proves thai those trades that
were organic Il We're less likely to be
attacked by The employers, while in
those trades that We're unorganized
the pairing clown process is constantly
or substituting child labor for the Ia
Dor of adults. There are countless
ways of reducing labor cost where the
employees are unorganzed-
Trades unions exist because IL large
number of the workers understand
these elementary facts.
They will grow stronger as more of
the workers come to refliZe that to
hold perfunctory mem bership in
union is mere fraction of the duty
Of unionism.
There are still many wage earners
who refuse to accept the union idea.
and to reach this mass. whose coop
Grafton is essential to the ultimate
success of unionism, the cause needs
the best missionary efforts of every
member.
Many of those now outside of the
union are there because of disrespect
shown the union by its members.
If member of a family tells you
that other members of the family are
mean you get to believe after awhile
that it is mean family, and you
would not wish to have any of your
relatives marry into it.
In the same way members speaking
poorly of union give nonmembers
the impression that the union is
mean institution that they do not wish
to be identified with.
We exist largely because we are
driven together by industrial condi-
tions, or, in other words, by the lash of
the employer, but we cannot be effec-
tive in the higher sense of success I'M
less we put united and intelligent eff
fort behind our movement.
We cannot stand still.
Inc predatory lHteTeStS are CouStdHt-
ly increasing prices of necessities, and
year by year we find 1t costs more to
live.
If we stand still we find ourselves
growing constantly poorer.
To hold our own we must be well
organized and united and forge ahead
If we are well organized now We
need to he better organized for the
struggle to come.
Perfection is not easy of attainment,
especially in human associations, but
we have a right or privilege to aim
high and to come as near perfection as
possible.
The union as whole represents the
sum total of all the efforts Of all its
members; therefore let us not be sat
isfied to depend upon five in a hundred
to contribute all the effort, but. on
the contrary, let each one of us re-
solve to contribute the best and most
perfect work we are capable of to this
union cause.-Shoe Workers Journal

HIGH DUES AND HIGH WAGES.

Some of the union men who are pay
ing IS cents or 81 month dues should
compare their condition with the print
ers. The printers pay $3.50 to $3.50
per month dues, according to position,
besides an assessment of ont-half of
| per cent on all money earned; the
union has large membership, plenty
of money on hand; pays benefits !;
maintains a home for aged and broken
down members; pays strike benefits
promptly-in short, the Typographical
Union treats its members royalty.
And you never heard complaint from
the members about their dues.
Remember, Mr.. Building Tradesman,
that your union must have money to
pay all of these things, and the only
way to get that money is from high
dues. Paste this in your hat and quit
kicking if your union wants to 'raise"
you a little.
The wage rate fixed by labor organ
ization seldom declares that the en-
ployer cannot pay a higher rate if he
wants to do 50. 1t does declare that
he cannot pay lower wage rate than
the minimum fixed by the trade agree
workman is protected, but in affording
him that protection, the superior
workman protects himself, for, if he
did not, all workmen, superior and in
ferior alike, would be working for min
imum wages until wage competition
forced the inferior workman below the
minimum and took the superior work
man along with him proportionately.
A labor union is an association of
men who mutually agree to organize for
the protection and benefit of its men,
bership. 1t was never intended to be
used as machine to prosecute a part
or faction of the group. 1t sometimes
but it is learned nevertheless. 1t is lust
as well for members to be on the level
with themselves. Min who cannot be
square with their associates in mutual
voluntary association or union are not
liable to be any too square with their
employers. In the meantime good
white streak in union man becomes
larger when he spends his union made
caves for unon-made goods.-Building

Cor Uniform Labor Laws.

Labor organizations have long ap.
preciated the necessity for uniform
labor laws throughout the Union.
Commissioner Charles p. Neill of the
bureau OF labor names the following
subjects upon which he believes there
should be uniform state legislation:
Employers liability. the guarding Of
dangerous machinery, Industrial n.y.
giene. compulsory reports on a uni
form basis of all Industrial accidents
and the compulsory registration Of
deaths, showing facts as to occupa-
ton and the like. He also recon-
mends uniformity of legislation regu-
lating the employment of women and
children. the hours of labor of all en-
ployees In injurious occupations, fac
tory and mine inspection. and with
regard TO convict made products.

SECONDARY BOYCOTT LAW.

One of our highest courts has broken
away from the absurd distinction in Ia
Dor cause that while primary" boycott
is Lawful, secondary" boycott is I'M
lawful That is-observe We, oh, puz-
zled reader-that Jones' strikes may ask
their friends Not to patronize Jones, but
they must not ask their friends not to
patronize Smith if he continues to pat
ronize Jones. 1t is the supreme court of
California that has "kiboshed" this
jurisprudential tomfoorery. The decision
is summoned up as follows by the San
Francisco Coast Seamen's Journal of
July %:
This court recognizes no substantial
distinction between the soeaIled primary
and secondary boycott Each rests upon
the right of the union to withdraw its
patronage from its employer and to in
duce by fair means any and all other
persons to do the same. and in excerise
of those means, as the unions would have
the unquestioned right to withhold their
patronage from a third person who con-
tinued to deal with their employer, SO
they have the unquestioned right to
notify such third person that they will
withdraw their ps1 manage if he continues
so to deal"
Law is indeed the essence of common
sense, but it takes judges a good while
to get down to its essence when new
kinds of quarrels arise betweep mass and
class.-The Public.
