Organized Labor Will
Fight to Maintain
the Constitutional
Guarantees.

In Il letter to the Central Federated
Union of New York City, read at the
meeting of that body on Sunday last,
Samuel Gompcrs, president OF the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor expressed his
appreciation of the efforts being made
by organized labor to arouse public opin-
ion against the suppression Of free
~pccth and free press by Judge made
law
The letter is as follows
Dear Sir and Brother Permit me
to thank You for your message. Many
other friends. fellow workers and sym.
pathizcr- in all walks of life have also
tolcgraphed and written me, and while
| would like to reply to each one, yet
find it impossible to concy in a let
ter all that is in my mind to say, and
therefore | am making this acknowl
cdcmcnt of your message and TO say
to You that from the many comuni
cations of this character which have
been sent to me, ] believe l am right
in saving that the great mass of the
liberty y-loving American people are with
John Mitchell, Frank Morrison and my
self, at this crucial time, in the effort
we have made and are still making to
maintain the principle OF justice and
right, and the constitutional guarantees
OF the freedom of the pres
Regarding Of personal results, we
are confident that the principles for
which we contend, and for which we
may suffer viii be restored, maintain
ed and permanently guaranteed to all
our people, the workers included. Tenn
porary Inconvenience or suffering OF
anyone or a few men is OF lesser i'm
portancc than the establishment OF equal
justice to all the people of our repub-
lie.
Under the circumstances, and in
view Of my many duties, YOU will real
izc the impossibility of my dealing
more fully with this subject in this
communication
wishing You the compliments OF the
season and imprcssing upon You and
all our friends the necessity OF the time
to moro closely how to the line. to de-
vote ourselves unrescwcdly to our
duties. and from now on to work hard
cl than ever for the great cause of the

BIG SEATTLE MILL BURNS

Fire completely destroyed the Western
mills, on the south shore OF Lake Union,
shortly before 3 o'clock "Wednesday
morning The loss is estimated at
Sl5O0OO. Insurance in the amount OF
$4,000 was carried. Ali the buildings
and machinery, with the exception OF
the dry kilns and lumber, were de
stroycd.
The Western Mills were owned by
John $. Brace and Frank Hergcrt. The
mills were to have resumed business
this morning after a shut down OF ten
days.
The destruction of the mills will worl,
a great hardship on loggcrs and mill
men who cut timber on the shores OF
Lake Washington, Union bay and con
tributory points. For more than 20
years the old Western Mills have handl-
ed this business.
Eighty-fivc men were thrown out OF
employment as result of the fire

PRISON MADE CLOTHES
FOR THE MILITIA

Discovery that uniforms needed in
the various regiments of the Illinois
State Militia are hereafter to be man
ufacturcd in state pcnitentiarie2 and
that the National Guardsman, with the
exception of the officers, will wear pri-
son made clothing, was made recently
by officials of the United Garment
Workers of America.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
many of the trousers now worn by
the miitiamcn have been made in the
Chester pcnitcntiary and asylum for
the criminal insane, although informa-
ton concerning this move has been kept
from both the soldiers and the tailors.
Heretofore there have been l75 per
sons employed at the Chester peniten
tiary in making clothing of different
kinds, including trousers for the sol.
diers. This number will be increased
to supply more than eight thousand
militiamen with their miforms-Wcek-

BUY ONLY UNION-MADE GOODS

Ii the women would only know their
power in their purchasing capacity they
could soon break any strike that might
occur Did they but compare their
present living to what it was but a
few short years ago and what it is to-
day they would be willing to pay a
little more for what they purchase. 1t
i, not the question of the cheapest, but
it is the purchase they make under fair
conditions. 1t is of not much use for
the men to fight all the time for better
conditions if the money they bring home
is spent to their killing, which it GER
tainly is if spent on articles not made
by union men. With the women lies
the onus; let them once awake to the
fact, the road will be easy for the men.
They should get nothing but what bears
the union label if ii is to be got il one
Shop does not have it, another will;
if not, 90 without altogether until such
time as the shopkeeper gets it which

THE EAGLES SUPPORT THE LABEL

The Grand Aerie of the Fraternal Or

union labelled products. In a report
of the grand board of trustees to the
worthy grand president Theodore \
Bell, the board of trustees says:

CHICAGO WAGE SCALE
Bureau OF Statistics Says it Is Highest
in the World.

The Chicago bureau OF statistic, has
come forward with Figures for the forty
six principal trades, showing that in
twcncy-onc of these the highest hour
rates in eight selected cities Chicago,
New York, Philadelphia, Roston Bati,
more, Cleveland, Buffalo and Pittsbmg
arc paid in that city
Moreover, the highest wage per hour
paid in all the cities to class OF
workers is given in Chicago. The limo
type operator gets an average Of near,
ly - cents an hour in Chicago, which
sets him up as the king pin OF all the
American labor would in the matter OF
wages.
New York cXcels Chicago in wages
paid to only three divisions of the
building trades The Manhattan brick
layers get 20 cents an hour as com
pared with 81 cents and fraction in
Chicago and carpenters receive I cents
an hour more. New York's third top
wage in building is that of plumbers,
which, however is les, than a penny in
advance OF that paid in Chicago.

York leads are those of machine cloth
ing cutters, foundry smiths, foundry

vertise at all may or may not be
your friend, fellow-worker, but 1t il
foregone conclusion that he who
literally patronizes the columns of
all other papers and refuses to ad-
vertise in the labor paper, is not
looking for the workingman's pat

A CONFEDERATE'S ESTIMATE OF THE
18th REGIMENT. N. J. VOLS.

"a wreath of laurel for our erst-
while foes"
The 18th N. J. Vol, presented by
Col. Chas. Richardson, Confederate. J
"The Fifteenth N. j. was one of the
first regiments in their state to re-
spond to the proclamation issued by
President Lincoln July LIST, 1862, for
volunteers for the war. Those patri-
OF youths quilted their occupations
and homes, leaving their loved ones
with fearful eyes and marched away
in the sunlight of their sweetheart's
smiles.
1t is more than probable that not
one of those young men bore in his
heart enmity towards the southern
people. Taught from their infancy
to revere and love the flag of their
country, they rallied to the cause for
its defense. We think so, because
after fight we have seen hungry
"Johnnies" sharing their scant ra-
tons with captured "Yanks' and
helping their wounded OFF the bloody
field.
As the limping ''blue coat" leaned
on "Johnny's" arm you would swear
they were friends, once adverse bnt
ont of whose heart all ire had been
burned in the fire of battle
The survivors of this noble organi-
cation come now 10 mark with fitting
memorials the ground whereon they
won Immortality. SO young men may
know. aud vet unborn generations learn
the story aud repeat the tale. The thun-
smoke of battle has drifted away, We old
confederates, onr duty done, stand on
the verge of eternity, silent, but yet
alert. listening for the bugle call
"Iights Ont" Thus waiting, with
our minds eye we sean the recurrent
view aud harken to the echoes of the
momentons past. We see the com
pact blue line advancing like II great
wave rolling over the main. We see
| the waves dash on Salem's shngg,
heights aud we hear the deadly tenn
pest roar, porting down leaden hail
while incessant, red, kissing hashe,
light the black horror of the wood ant
scorch the sangninary sod.
Loud shouts from the blue and gra,
alternately shock the echoing hiIlt
and smoke intolerable hides til,
bloody fight.
Undaunted, the brave Fifteenth
dared the repelIing storm. Again and
| yet again, with files depleted, the,
attempt the desperate assault But
mortal man could do no more. Slow
Iy. reluctantly. they fall back in good
| order, leaving el ose by the Gonfeder-
ate line one.third of their roll dead or
wounded, NJ II sacrifice to their
country's cause As the beam of Il
distant star long since extinct, still
dummies the night, so from the
mighty fire that ragged in the sixties
shines light that circles the brow OF
every Union and Confederate soldier
with halo that shall shine brighter
and brighter unto the perfect day.
