of labor, the issuance of the false
Mediator being but an incident. In
the next issue Of the American Feder-
at1onist we shall publish matter clear
ly demonstrating this beyond doubt
and which even Van Cleave and his
allies with their crooked methods will
be in no position to deny.
In the meantime, we ask our work
ers of our country to be more on their
guard and more elert than ever. They
must organize and stand more firmly
tnan ever before. Organize the yet
unorganized, and bring hope and
progress and gladness to the toiling
masses. Organize for the good that
we can do. Organize for the enemies
that we make. Organize for human
freedom. 3.sgs::4 1. 5s.5z:Is... Z. 4 ;.3s33sSs5

PLAY GROUND CENTERs
FOR CITY CHILDREN
Movement to Establish Play
Ground Centers in Cities is
Growing Rapidly.
Experience Teaches That Abund-
ant Opportunity for Play is
Conducive to Health. .

The movement to establish play
ground centers for children in all
large cities is growing rapidly In
out Of the hundred largest
cities of the United States such play
centers are already established. In
some cities these Fairgrounds are
managed by the park commissions,
in others by playground associations,
and many have combination of sew
eral authorities. New York City is
one Of the last group.
Fairgrounds in France.
Mr.. Henry De Peyster of Commit
tee "des Ecoles de garde,'' Paris,
France, has sent US the following
account Of Fairgrounds in that city:
Two small associations nave started
six or seven play centers each. The
latter, organized in 1904 with some
Of my friends and myself after the
'Swedes, has now, seven. -centers, three
and four by their own means.
chiIdren's School Farm League.
At the recent tuberculosis Exhibit
in New York city, the Children's
School Farm League mad very in
teresting and instructive exhibit, the
model of children's ideal farm being
especially worth a visit. Samples of
the products, even to- a crop of pea
nuts raised by the children, were
displayed in a pleasing manner.
Next Playground Congress.
PranQr9fiNnS in
the third annual playground congress
to be held by the Playground Asso-
citation Of America, in Pittsburg, Pa,
May II to IA, 1909. Suggestions re-
garding program, etc., will be appre-
ciated.
Fairgrounds Lessen Crime.
Carefully compiled statistics show
a comparative lessening Of % per
cent in juvenile convictions within
the half mile radius Of Chicago's
South Park Fairgrounds. Any police
man with experience before and after
a playground was started will testify
to similar effect. And these Chi
cago Fairgrounds, the most expen-
sive in the world, cost $1.76 for es-
tablishment and % cents a year fo1

'The child" says Joseph Lee, an
authority on city Fairgrounds, "de-
MED a. playground resorts to- lawless-
ness. But his law breaking is fa1
more lawful than our neglect. The
law that we have violated is the more
ancient and more authentic of the
two.
"why have Fairgrounds chill
dren always play if they have a
chance, but do they need to? What
useful object does play accomplish?
Briefly, play builds the child
Muscles are developed by use. So also
of the heart and lungs and other Or
gans, even Of the bones. So also of
the mind and character. Play is
growth. It is natures prescription o1
the activities that shall form the
child. It is her method of making
him man. The child plays for the
same reason that the grass grows OF
the flowers spring up; for the same
reason that he is here at all.''

INdllWdy Company
My Dear Mr.. ----: Under separ-
ate cover we are forwarding you a
copy Of the first issue of the Mediator,
and as a personal favor we respect
fully request that you look over the
same.
During the past five years the
writer has been requested time and
again to issue a journal along these
lines, and as the requests have been
so insistent of lateI have decided upon
the venture.
Ihere never was a more OppOrtune
time to reach labor than the present,
owing to the recent court decision
AFFECTING labor leaders. We believe
this will have a tendency to cause
the rank an file to recognize, that
while they nave rights which must
he respected, others have rights which
must equally be respected. Indications
from different parts of the country
show that labor is beginning to recog-
nize this fact, and as the next year
Will see great changes in the labor
movement we are extremely desrous
of placing this magazine in the hands
OF as many Of the laboring element as
~ Is poSSlOle 10 TedCn.
Under normal conditions we should
prefer to secure our subscription by
straight personal solicitation. but
owing to the fact that labor everv-
where Is studying this question from
a more liberal standpoint that ever
before in tine history Of the move
ment, it is desirous that this magazine
reach the largest possible number in
the shortest space Of time. We will
ask you to subscribe for as large a
number of your employees as you see
fit, sending us their names and ad-
dresses (home actresses preferred)
subscribing for them for the term of
one year. We expect to make the
magazine SO desirable from their
standpoint during the term Of sub
scription that they will become regular
subscribers.
We hope this plan will appeal to
you and that you will assist the Me-
d1ator In the manner suggested.
Very truly yours,
J. K. TURNER
AS already stated. the above is not
from any oral information, but is an
exact transcript Of one Of the original
letters In our possession, all Of which
are similar in phraseology, the one
difference being the names Of the
parties addressed.
The letters disclose at once that
the Van Cleave- Turner Detective
agency Of Cleveland, sailing under the
name Of. the Manufacturers Informa-
t1on Bureau Co., is the publisher Of
the Mediator, and that they endeav-
Il ored to hide their identity and thereb,
impose upon the public as impartia
writers and commentators. The letter
also shows that the false pretense
was carried further and that employ
ers were asked to aid in the nefariou:
work by subscribing for the publica-
ton for free distribution among thei]
employees.

PUBLISHING NEWSPAPER
UNDER FALSE COLORS
Pretending Fairness But Designed
to Antagonize Every Effort
Friendly to Labor.
From American Federationist.

a few W.kls ago there appeared
the first issue Of a publication styled
the Mediator, published at Cleveland
Ohio. 1t was sent broadcast and
sailed under the false pretense, that
it aimed to be an impartial critic of
organized labor, as we'll as organized
employers. In every line the most
causual observer could understand
that the purpose of the sheet was to
antagonize every effort made by the
workers to protect and promote their
rights and interests. 1t was clearly
discernable to be a publication issued
under false colors. No names Of the
persons publishing it was given or
those who were responsible for it's
issuance or utterances.
We have previously called attention
to the fact that all employers of labor
are not union haters; that many of
them, including managers Of rail-
roads, are in friendly accord and
agreement with organized labor; and
that these though receiving the
screeds of Van Cleave's manufacture
fulminations and supposed exposures
of labor's activities are utterly dis
gusted with the doing Of the Van
Cleave, Turner, Pinkerton, Parry, Post
combination. Through the courtesy
of several fairly disposed employers
we have received the original letters
sent to them by the Turner Detective
agency, al OF them bearing Turner s
original signature and all reading the
same. The following is a copy:

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 22.-Rev.
Mr. Thwing has sent TO the Depart
ment of Justice and to the President
a complaint that he was not given
fair treatment by United States At
torney Breckons when recently called
before the grand jury for the district
of Hawaii and invited TO present evil
dence and witnesses regarding alleg-
ed violations of the Federal law and
alleged derelictiOns of duty on the
part of the United States Attorney.
The communications to the Presi-
dent and to the Attorney General are
similar to the interview of Mr.. Thwing
published in the Honolulu papers i'm
mediately after the grand jury made
its findings. The report of the grand
jury to Judge Dole has also reached
the Attorney General through official
channels. 1t can be stated with GER
tainty that the Department has decid-
ed that the report of the grand jury
with reference to the Thwing charges
closes the incident, and serious atten-
ton will not be given to the COM
munications of Mr. Thwing on the
subject.
