LABOR LEADERS FOUND
GUILTY.

Last week thescourt at Wash
ington, p. c., found Eugene V.
Debs, James Mitchell and F.
Morrison guilty of contempt OF
the charge Of contempt Of court,
iniunctions in which the Buck
Stove Co., has secured an IN
junction for bidding them using
their name and for this violation
the court sentenced each to the
penitentiary. Those leaders had
gone too far, they had violated
the majesty of the law and like
any other violators should be
punished, while the labor union
has done much good for the
working men yet they have not
treated the Colored labor fair
or just, they always evaded him,
opposed him on joining the union
until he became an important
factor in the labor world, then
they were forced to take him and
even now th,y do not treat HIM
fairly. UniQnism will not or
ought not to succeed in getting
Justice until she herself practices
Justice to all labor, Ye must
first do equity, before you ask
equity, treat the black labor
fairly then unionism will flourish.

Ancient Uses of 1loodhoundS.

Although the use Of bloodhounds
for tracking criminals still stfrvives.
another ancient use Of these dogs
seems to have died out Bloodh0unds
were at one time often called upon
to assist an army in the field. the
forces with which the earl Of Essex
suppressed the Irish rebellion in the
time Of Elizabeth, for instance, being
accompanied by 800 dogs. In the Scot
tish clan feuds and the wars between
England and Scotland bloodhounds
were regularly employed In tracking
fugitive warriors, and both Wallace
and Bruce were hunted in this man
ner. Wallace is said to have bafiled
his pursuers by killing a follower and
leaving the corpse for the hound to
find, while Bruce adopted the less
cruel plan of wading some distance
down stream and ascending a tree
which overhung the water.
