G0hPERS TO FORCE

ahead now on this policy. The cam
paign viii be aggressive and without
cessation until every employee Of the
corporation is IN our fold. Then we will
be in a position to force a recognition Of
the unions"
This statement by President GOmpers,
Of the American Federation of Labor,
might be taken as the labor viey today
of the resolution declaring war on the
United states Steel Corporation adopted
here by the conference Of labor leaders
late yesterday.
That the corporation regards the resO-
luton IA another light as indicated by
a statement by a local official who
promptly stamped Il as zone big tumble
of words"
Aside from the denunciation Of the
Steel Corporation and the resolve to
appeal 10 Congress. the President and
the governors of States, labor men point
TO the fact that the resolution is an APP
peal FOR closer organization and fnan-
ciai assistance for men now striking
against the corporation, and II the com
bined forces Of the federation can be
brought TO bear against the corporation
the unionizing Of its employees is as
sUred. they believe.
Steel officials look upon their system
of making employees stockholders in the
corporation a safeguard against any

Consider Switchmen's Strike

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 15-Al-
though the special meeting OF the rail-
way department OF the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor called for Saturday.
in St. Paul. has been heraIded as a mo-
mentous event. which would affect the
switchmen's strike considerably, there
Is now a possibility that settlement may
be reached through some other chan
nels- The situation changes rapidly in
a few hours. and It is expected that the
meeting in PittsbUrg between the
switchmen and the general managers
committee in Chicago win bring the
matter to a close.
Strike leaders have practically main
tanned that they did not wish for any
sympathetic strike. but since the an
nOuncement that the railway depart
nent of tire Federation would meet, the
general opinion has been that the main
question TO be taken under cOnsidera-
ton would be a sympathetic strike.

The yacht wa almost as spick and

Of Passing Interest
British Laborites and the czar
orchestra.

It has been the declared and eonsis- tent policy of the largest combinations of organized wage-earners in the United States to keep out of partisan politics that is to say, as the American Fed eration of Labor. That policy has con tinued, even though it has not prevent ed officials of that body, notably Pres. ident Gompers, from expressing their individual preferences in campaigns The one departure from this rule in the attempt to influence congressiona! elections in behalf of proposed labor legislation never went to the extent that the movement has gone in Great Britain, with its representatives in the house of commons of distinct labor party. But it is of noteworthy interest that in the British parliament the Lab orites base any declaration of policy upon the assumed popular will Thus runs the very opening sentence of their protest against the announced visit of the czar to King Edward: "We be- lieve the visit is offensive to a great majority of the people of this coun- try" That is an appeal 10 the very essence of the princip-es of popuiar government against the personal em bodiment of autocracy. Whether the assertion be true or not is quite another matter.

THE AESTHETIC COW

Strange tales come out of rural New Jersey that sometimes may be promoted by the exist ence of inventive journalism in the adjacent cities of New York and Philadelphia. It is a New Jersey farmer who claims to have discov- cred that the music that has power to soothe the savage breast has also potent effect upon the lacteal capacity of the gentle cow This dairymaid hired milkmaid who brought with her from her native Switzerland the mountain yode with all it's valley spanning power and it's wild Alpine charm. The spell of her vocal efforts so entranced her bovine charges that their yield of milk grew daily richer and more abundant. The farmer saw his profits waxing so rapidly that he had dreams of forming him. self into corporation, so that he could legally water his stock and simultaneously increase his dividends But these visions were brought to an end by the maid herself who quit the farm for home of her own. As the opera has taught matrimony is fatal to mascots
 But this New Jersey farmer did not abandon himself to lamentations over the loss of the yodling maid and the coincdent decrease in the yield of his dairy He displayed both power of inference and gift of invention. If yodling pleased the bovine mind why should not other forms of music wield an equally potent spell !! The voice had gone, but could there be no sub stituteg The experiment thus suggested was tried, with most gratifying and profitable sue cess. A phonograph with collection of choice records was set up in the meadow. The flock of COWS almost forgot to chew the cud, so en- raptured were they with the melodious strains. But almost joyously they resumed their duty and that dewy eve once more saw the pails in the barnyard filled to overhowing.
 This is a subject to be commended to investi- gation by the department of agriculture. In stead of sending all of his travelling experts upon foreign tours in far countries, let the sec retary assign few of them to examine and re- port upon the magic influence of music upon the New Jersey COW. The distance is not great and the expense need not stagger the appropri- ation A pleasing and artistic monograph might result upon this new relation between Melpomene and Pan. The result might be that no dairy farm would be complete without its orchestra.
