THE OPEN SHOP IDEA.

Farmer Wilson, secretary of agricul
ture, says the average laborer of
Washington eats meat three times a
day, and that he is not satisfied with
anything but the best cuts. Mr.. Will
son argues that this condition of af-
fairs is what keeps UP the price OF
meat The inference is that the
"best CUTS belong to the profit-maker,
and that the laborer should confine
himself to the lower grades or those
which the profit-maker would select for
his dog. That is the ''open shop" idea
and those who favor it claim the right
to fix wages and prescribe what is
most becoming as diet for those
who do the Washington Trades
Unionist.

A BENEVOLENT TRUST.

"Scab" but illegal.
That great benevolent trust, the
National Cash Register Company, of
Dayton, Ohio, it seems, is not such a
good" trust after ALL The attorney
general of that state complains that
this company is doing acts not con-
templated by it's charter and has Gre
ated and is maintaining a trust to
suppress, prevent and interfere with
competition in the manufacture and
sale of cash registers 1t is charged
that the company increases or reduces
the prices of it's product as competi-
tion suggests. The good people of
Dayton have long desired to rid itself
of this benevolent" trust, which has
been more an injury to the city than
a plague, and perhaps, with the aid
of the law, their hopes will be graft
fed. The concern should be put out
of business altogether, or at least put
on the same footing with other manu-
featuring concerns and force it to obey
the laws of the land, which it has not.
The law should play no favorites-

SMITH FOR ASSESSOR.

S. ID. Smith has been nominated by
the republicans of Havelock for as
SCISSOR in that township, and they
couldn't have selected better man
for the job. If he isn't elected it will
be because the people of that town
ship do not want the best man in that
position. And by the way, The Wage
worker wants to confess that Brer
Smith is the kind of labor paper boost
er that counts with the editor man.
He has brought in hatful of sub

RECEPTION TO eoMPERs.
Twenty Thousand Men Welcome Him
Home From Europe.

Organized labor, representing many
parts of this country, Canada and
Cuba, paid a notable tribute last Tues
day night in Washington, d. c., to the
Homecoming from Europe of Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, who arrived there
early in the evening from New York.
The celebration in honor of his re-
turn after an absence of several
months was probably the most enthus-
iastic demonstration ever accorded an
American labor leader.
a There was monster parade, fol-
lowed by a big mass meeting at Con-
vention hall. Estimates of the num-
ber of men and women in the parade
ran as high as 10000. The event de-
rived added interest from the fact that
this was the day upon which the court
of appeals of the District of Colum-
bia was expected to hand down it's de-
cision in the contempt proceedings
against Mr.. Gompers and other fed
Grafton officials. The decision of the
court, however. failed to materialize.
An incident in connection with the
parade was the action of President
Gompers in refusing to allow COM
pany of the national guard of the Dis
trict of Columbia to participate. The
central labor union at a meeting Mon
day night went on record in favor of
the guardsmen taking part in the cele
bration, although there was some op.
position among the delegates, on the
ground. it was stated, that the Or
ganized militia of the country was
used only to shoot down strikers and
union men,"
Mr.. Gompers. however. was COM
municated with and he decided that
the guardsmen should not parade.

NEckTIE GIRLS STRIKE.
And No "Bonus Scabs" Showed Up to
Help Defeat Them,

nelP OeIeat mem.
Six hundred girls employed in a
couple of New York City necktie fac
tories struck the first of the week for
increased wages and better working
conditions. There were no bonus
scabs'' at hand to help defeat the girls.
On the contrary, the girls had no
trouble in securing what they asked
for. The bosses couldn't find any
girls to break the strike, and no
faithful employees hung back and re
ceived pay while standing up for the
company. That sort of thing remains
for yellow-livered men" in Omaha.

fully compromising these formulas and
putting them up in a marketable con-
dition, he offered them to the public
for few pennies, easily within the
reach Of the poorest family. He hired
eminent specialists at large salaries
and offered their services absolutely
free to the public to diagnose their
cases and advise them what remedies
to take. After giving the public all
these benefits he was still unsatisfied
and offered further to those who were
not in reach OF the Offices which he
established throughout the country;
he advertised, asking them to write to
his specialists for free medical ex-

talk began in rather wide circles The
rush to the land. the bumper crop,
the system of summer following pur-
all discussed, and then, with sort of
apologize smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm bit interested in this country
myself. Some of the men down home

line, and I'm going to have look at
them. Never been up in Canada be-

You see. it's like this" said the
man from Iowa, quite manfestly con.
tnuing an argument that had been
going on in his mind for some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $40 or $50 an acre for it. and ev-
cry farm that's offered is snapped up
In Saskatchewan we have just as good
land that cost us Sill and $12, so that
man can take up five or six times as
much there as in Iowa on the same in
vestment of money.
! 1T isn't the money, though, that
brings most of LIB up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that money would be enough.
The invasion is family affair We
have no chance Of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have to
| leave the farm and go into the big
cities of the neighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with US. we come up here
and make little colonies with the chill
dren around us, on homesteads or
bought land This makes it easier for
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes The fami-
lies that come to Canada are kept to-
gether and the families that buy the
farms they leave are kept together,
too There won't be any slackening
of the rush. either for they still raise
