The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1909-05-14

Mrs. Augusta EvansWilson, the nov
elist, died at home in Mobile on the 9th
inst Her st. Elmo" was probably
the most widely read novel in the South
decade ago Her style has been criti-
cised, but the moral tone, the charm
and the beauty of her characters have
stood for a generation as ideals of fiction.
Dickens language was, in days gone,
sometimes described as stilted and ordi-
nary, but his constructive genius placed
him high above the herd, and to-day
there is no comparison without the
name of Dickens. Rhetoric without
story does not make novel.

The support that the Illinois Central
people are willing TO contribute in a
combined effort with the citizens of
Union City to construct a macadamized
road as stated means practically the an
nexation of Union City with the road, a
proposition which would be of great
value to us and which would have been
worth thousands, perhaps much more,
if it had been utilized years ago.
II such a road were built motor cars,
sufficient to accommodate all the travel
ing public, would be put in operation
at once, a luxurious trip of ten or fifteen
minutes, and an extraordinary induce
ment to visit Union City.
The advantages of such a proposition
are manifold-they are immeasurable-
and the wonder is that Union City
hasn't taken hold Of it years ago
Why is it that Union City citizens
will continue to doze and slumber ard
sleep waiting for some other town less
capable and less fortunate to lay the
pattern and lay us in the shade. OF all
the Rip Van Wrinkles" on earth we
have them.
Union City has had opportunity after
opportunity that could not come in the
nature of things to other towns, and
she has with indifference and impunity
declined them, opportunities that might
have and would have made us the largest
town in West Tennessee outside of Mem
phis, and yet we continue in the same
shiftless way
The Commercial began a few year;
ago to advocate hard roads. There ar,
practically no other roads as far as thi
country is concerned. 1t is not only ;
road to Gibbs we need, but a macada
mixed road leading the four points o
the compass from Union City.
The Commercial believes thoroughly
in progress and advancement in al
lines, especially in good roads and gooC
schools. We also know what it means
to agitate these things. The agitator il
criticised and sometimes exiled Boss
Shepard was exiled to Mexico for hi
activity and success in widening thu

THE LABOR MOVEMENT IN EUROPE
I. The Organization of Trades Union
lists.
by the Rev. Charles Stelzle.)

Organized labor throughout the world
is about 100000 strong. The trades
unionists in Great Britain, according to
the most recent figures, have total
membership of 100000, of which num-
Der 100000 are women. 1t is estimated
that 80 per cent of the workers in Great
Britain are connected with the trades
unions. There are practically four divi-
sions among the organized workingmen
affiliated with the British Trades Con-
gress, consisting, first, of about 100000
in the General Federation of Trades
Unions (Which is composed of 1874 ma
tional organizations, and who are, for
the most part, skilled workers,) 10000
miners. $4,000 members of the Railway
Servants Societies, and about 100000
general workers and laborers who are not
affiliated with the General Federation.
The organized workingmen in England
are represented in their political and gen
eral activities in what is known as the
Joint Board" which is composed of four
members each from the following bodies:
First, the Parliamentary Committee
consisting of the Executive Committee
of the British Congress;) second, the
General Federation of Trades Unions;
third the Labor Party, which is the dis
tinctively political organization of the
trades unionists. This Joint Board out
lines the policies of the workingmen and
unifles their activities. Mention should
be made, however, of the Independent
labor Party, which is the Socialist wing
of the Labor Party, and which contains
about Is per cent of its membership.
German Trades unionists number 1920,
600, with about 10000 women, but in
addition to this, it is estimated that
there are 100000 christian Trades I'm
ionists' who are controlled more or less
by the church. OF the total number of
trades unionists in Germany, perhaps
3S5,O0O are Social Democrats, standing
specifically for the Socialist movement.
Estimates of the number of trades UNI
ionists in France vary considerably but
there are probably 100000 members of
organized labor, 100000 of whom belong

Assistant Secretary of War Oliver,
has made a recent ruling very obnoxious
to the American Federation of Musicians
and considerable adverse comment has
been made 4 certain dancing academy
in Seattle which refused to hire union
musicians asked for and obtained the
services of two players from the L. s.
army stationed at Fort Lawton. The
matter was taken up by the Musicians
Union and finally reached the Assistant
Secretary of War It might be stated
that the War Department does not recog-
nize the union and musicians employed
in regular army bands are subject strict
ly to army rules and regulations 1t had
been understood however, and we believe
an order issued TO the effect that mus
icians enlisted in the L. S. army should
not compete against civilian musicians
for any outside functions or entertain
ments for less than the union scale of
wages or against union regulations. In
this case, however. Secretary Oliver ruled
that the army musicians were not com
peting against civilians because the dane
ing academy asked for their services and
would not hire union men. We fail
to see much justice in this decision. 1t
amounts to this; that the military forces
are to be used with full consent of the
government to break if possible the un-
ion. 1t is worse than an open shop pro-
position because under open shop rules
the employer claims not to discriminate
between union or non-union men. In
this case union men We're barred from
working and the employer finding that
he could not get enough non union men
to complete his orchestra called on gov
eminent musicians and they went to
work for him. It is plain to be seen then
that if all places of amusements re-
fused to hire union musicians and the
government allowed musicians from the
regular army to step in that the union
would be speadily put out Of business.
1t would be no worse for the govern
ment TO furnish strike breakers from the
regular army in case of a strike. The
ultimate result to the union is the same
in either case.

Probably the largest percentage of
workingmen in the trades unions of any
country in Europe are to be found in
Denmark and Sweden, the Denmark
trades unions containing fully so per
cent of the toilers and Sweden about 3S
per cent. In Hungary there is an esti-
mated membership of 100000 or % per
cent of all the workingpeople. Austria
has nearly 100000 or IS per cent, while
Italy. with its immense population, con-
tains only 100000 or per cent.
The United States with its 100000
trades unionists, is in the lead in the
total number of workingmen and work
ingwomen who are in the trades union
movement, even though the percentage
of workingmen in the trades unions is
not as great as it is in some countries in
Europe.

to maintain his grip ON the cigar

Rumors of what the State intends
to prove by its rebuttal testimony
have been rife today, but most of
these have been vague and indefinite.
Yesterday it was said that witnesses
would be introduced to prove that
secret service men were sent to Car
mack's office the afternoon before
the killing to ascertain where he
boarded, when he went to his rooms
and by what route. Thus far none
of these witnesses have been intro
duced.

party then proceeded to the capitol,

They entered the senate chamber
as President Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft,
but they came out as Mr.. Roosevelt
and President Taft.
Only few people braved the ele-
ments, and the crowd was very small
Many persons who had paid as much
as $25 each for seats on the platforms
