what Labor Unions are Doing for
Their Members.

DR.. Frank Julian Warne, graduate
of the University Of Pennsylvania and long
an earnest student Of social and industrial
questions, takes up in the current number
of the Metropolitan Magazine in the course
Of his study OF THE Conquest of Poverty"
the particular part played by the labor
unions He takes the general position that
the dormant and primary causes of pow
erty are not individual or social defects of
character. but those economic forces over
which the individual victim usually has
no control And he makes the claim that
It is chiefly to the labor unions that the
credit is due for the prevention of poverty
by the removal Of It's cause-that Is, the
regulation of factory management, the pro-
vision of safety appliances and the general
enforcement of better sanitary conditions.
The record OF death and casualty in the
industries OF the country is briefly re-
viewed and authorities are quoted to show
that were the same precautions taken and
care exercised as in certain foreign coun-
tries vast proportion of the accidents
would be avoided and thousands OF human
lives saved.
From this DR.. Warne is led to a consld-
GRAFTON of the movement for a change In
the American law and practice concerning
the employers liability for accidents to
workers and he says that the brunt Of
the struggle for the prevention of indus
trial accidents.is being borne by the labor
unions. In this connection he gives the fol-
lowing table. not as complete showing
OF the relief work of labor organizations,
but as suggestion OF what is being done:
Omaha daily bee., 1909-12-09


An interesting feature of Dr. Warnes
article Is the statement which he presents
as showing the attitude OF the unions on
tho subject Thus he quotes John Mitchell,
ex-presidsnt Of the United Mine Workers,
as saying;
To understand what the trade unions
arc doing to combat poverty II is necessary
to oaconslder the cause Of poverty. Poverty Is
the result OF unemployment low wages,
disease, accident and misfortune. The trade
unions have sought with marked success,
to remove poverty by securing for the
wage earners a rate of wages sufficiently
nigh to enable workmen and their families
to live in a manner contormable 70 Amer
loan standards, They-the unlons-haVe
accumulated large funds whieh are used
may be In distress as result OF ACCIDENT,
death sickness or UNEMPLOYMENT Last
year there were paid for the relief OF the
unemployed members of trade unions out
OF the funds In, the union treasures. not
less than $4,000 These expenditures DO
not include several millions OF dollars paid
in strike and lockout benefits.
James Duncan first vice president Of
the American Federation Of Labor in his
statement OF labor's campaign against pow
erty enumerates the reduction Of the work
ing hours per day and the increase Of
wages as the most important contribu-
tions toward the cause and he adds:
contend that the recurrence Of panies
has Aeen changed by trade unions reducing
working hours per day ana 70 thsse-quar-
ters and two-thirds instead Of full time
so as to keep all employed; also In refusing
10 reduce wages during dull times.
Again experience proves that the totler
who is not oVerwOrked and who receives
fair compensation for his labor is a sober
thrifty living citizen, which fact gives him
better chance 10 guard against poverty
Thus again, prevention being better than
cure We score Judged from any stand
point. trade unions are performing their
share In the campaign against poverty.

trouble for several years and there
were severe pains in my back. The
kidney secrerions were very irregular
in passage, at times copious while at
others scanty and I could scarce void
them. I grew weak. lost flesh, could
not sleep we'll and was nervous and ir-
ritable. I finally procured Doan's
Kidney Pills at the Kaufman Drug
Co. and began using them. 1 can hon

Blew OUTFITS Brains.

With a posse in close pursuit and
tired of relentless chase of :.cficers of
the law, jeff Bradley, who killed Geo.
Wel,oorn, Jr,, near Clayton, &C.,, last
week, shot himselfto death near Noun
tain City. The suicide occurred when
the officers were almost within hailing
distance of the alleged fugitive.
The officers hearing the shot believ-
ed they were about to be ambushed
and dropped to cover. They waited
for other shots, and then cautiously
ventured out and followed the direc-
tion Of the shot. In an old feld. face
downward, with his gun lying by his
side, Bradley was found with his brains
blown ont.
Sometime Friday Robert Nix, living
in tho vicinity, went to straw stack
whore Bradley was concealed. Think
ing that Nix was hunting for him. a.
though armed with q shotgun, Brad
ley offered to surrender. Nix told him
that he was not hunting for him.
Subsequently Nix reported seeing him
to Sheriff ). 81. Jones, who formed g
posse of men, and started in pursuit.

Law As 20 ssaE30ARDs.
Law Requires That All Public Roads
Shall Be Posted.

There has been much discussion in
several newspapers lately as to the
law requiring the public roads to be
posted with signboards at all forks or
crossings. The law is very clear but
it is not generally enforced. Follow
ing is the law on the subject:
"Sec. 446. Any person or persons
who shall cut down, burn or deface
any mile post or stone, erected by the
county commissioners or county su-
peryisor of any county, he, she or
they, upon conviction thereof shall
forfeit and pay the sum of ten dollars.
to be recovered by indictment or in
formation before any court of compe.
tent jurisdiction.
"Sec. AT, If any person shall will
fully demolish, throw down, alter, or
deface any guide-post, every person
so offending shall, upon conviction
thereof before any magistrate of the
proper county be fined sum Of not
exceeding ten dollars and the cost of
suit, or be sentenced to labor on the
public works of the county for term
of not more than thirty days, and the
money when collected, shall be by the
magistrate collecting the same, paid
over to the county treasurer.
"Sec. 44S. TIE county board of
commissioners Of any county neglect
ing to cause the public highways in
their county to be posted and num-
bered and to have pointers erected at
each fork of said highways declaring
the direction of such highways shall
be liable to pay the sum of ten dol
lars for each and every said neglect,
to be recovered by Indictment in the
court of general sessions of the coun-
ty within which the same occurs, to
be collected and paid to the treasurer
ofsuch countyfor the use of the coun-
ty. Provided, That no county COM
missioner shall, BE- liable to said penal
ty who shall put sAd pointer at such
times as he shall hase bis division of
roads worked" - :.
The civil code of South Carolina has
alsoRAeetion bearing upon this which
gives the county commissioner au-
thority to erect such sign boards and
charge the cost to the county, and the
neglect Of this can be- construed by
the public to mean that they are In.
different to the convenience of the
public. The section is as followe:
"Sec. 1887. Each road overseer
within his district may erect and keep
up. at the expense of the county. at
the forks and Cross roads post and
guide-board, or finger board, contain
ing an inscription in legible letters,
directing the way and distance to the
town or towns, of public places, situ-
ated on each road respectively
