:UN|0N|STS JOINED
WITH SOCIALISTS TO
FIGHT COMMON EVIL

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 18.-
Labor leaders in this city agree that
three things mark the political up
heaval that has just taken place,
namely. the unseating of the large
majority of the congressman motor
iously unfriendly to labor, the pass
ing of the power to the Democracy,
and, lastly. the first decided drift
of union men to the socialist ballot.
Election returns, far from complete,
leave no doubt of this, as witness the
action Of California in the throes Of
the most bitter war on labor.
That state turns the previous high
water mark of socialism from a. vote
of $4,000 in. 1908 to 10000 with the
aid of organized labor in San Fran
the miners in the Silver Bow Dis
trict piled up 1000 votes where but
$50 had been polled before.
But the radical west is apparently
not alone in, this the most radical
turn of American unionists, for Co.
lumbus, Ohio, just emerged from a
bloody struggle with imported strike
breakers, turns 10000 unexpected
votes into the socialist column.
In Connecticut, Robert Hunter,
socialist candidate for governor, finds
$4,000 votes for his support where in
1908 but 5000 could be found-and
Hunters great gain In votes came
from the mills and shops.
Pennsylvania witnessed masses of
her previous docile labor vote break
ing away from the usual path in
Reading, where they elected the So
cialist James H. Maurer to the leg
islature, and in Philadelphia, where
10000 votes were polled as against
5000 in 1909.
And then there is that ever-spread-
ing spot of red called Milwaukee that
has elected the first socialist con-
gresham to Washington, Milwaukee
marches on and, firing the county
with some of it's own spirit, sends 13
members of the legislature, one state
senator and II assem- blymen, to swell
the socialist strength in the govern
ment of Wisconsin.
These facts on the face of the
election returns are not gathered from
the countryside, where populistic
farmers may have swelled the total
socialist vote but from trade union
centers, where it is known beyond a
doubt that organized labor spoke
through the ballot box.

A v|PER'S VENOM IS
EXPRESSED IN OTIS
ASSAULT ON UNIONS

LOS ANGELES CAL, Nov. 18.-A
squad of IL city police have been as
signed to guard Harrison Grey Otis,
editor of the Los angeles Times, and
his various offices in this city. Protest
against this uncalled fors squandering
of public money upon private in
d1vidual, who is in nowise threatened
with personal harm, is being voiced
in the daily press Of Los Angeles.
The potent influence of the Mer-
chant and Manufacturers association
asserts President Fred G. Wheeler of
the Central Labor council. is undoubt-
eddy behind this move to impress the
public with the idea that the city is
in continual danger from organized
labor.
Determined to make Los Angeles a
model open-shop city, the Merchant
and Manufacturers association has
fathered a system of boycotts against
business men and newspapers friend
'ly to labor; the latest of these being
an attempt to- put the Los Angeles
Record out Of business because of it's
fearless editorials demanding a square
deal in the investigation of the Times
explosion. Inc boycott was, dismal
failure, for the public rallied to the
Records support, increased it's street
circulation SO per cent Increased it's
street sales. and moreover, $50 of the
papers advertisers declared openly
that they would not withdraw their
ads.
AS specimen of the Times vituper-
action, the following editorial UTTER
ance is taken from Otis paper:
IF the labor unions would discard
from their leadership the cowardly,
murder-inciting, corpse-defacing bull
lies, then their more cowardly yellow
editorial hackers, who have for
months been engaged in futile efforts
to bulldoze Los Angeles employers: in
to an abandonment of the open shop
policy. they would illustrate their
tardy WISDOM

NEW CHILD LABOR LAWS
OF NEW YORK SET ADDED
RESTRICTIONS ON BOSSES

NEW YORK. Nov. 18.-A num-
Der of regulations making a new
standard in the laws Of New York
with respect to the employment Of
children went into effect November l..
The most sweeping restriction, the
new 1aw, prohibiting in first and
second class cities the employment
of boys under twenty-one years Of
age after 10 p. m. or before a. m.
as telegraph messengers, is the re-
suit of a recent investigation of the
night work of messenger boys in
tenderloln districts of large cities
Their intimate contact with disorderly
houses and their surrounding evils
was proven so conclusively by the
New York child labor committee. in
advocating the bill that the legisla-
ture went to. the limit in extending
the laws protection.
For the first time the labor law
now makes specific reference to boys
setting up pins in bowling alleys, and
the employment of children as mes
sengers, ushers or checkers in places
of amusement. Hereafter such work
is forbidden for children under four
teen unless in possession Of regu-
lar employment certificate and then
only between the hours of 8 a. m.
and 7 p. m. Theaters employing boys
as pages or IN the distribution of
water or other articles will be directly
affected by this new law. While in
many instances the work is not hard,
it is open to serious objection for
young children, as 1t frequently means
their returning home alone late at
night.
Another new provision, affecting
only cities outside Of New York, Buff
falo and Rochester, prohibits the en-
plOyment Of children under sixteen
after p. m. in mercantile establish
ments. This has been the closing hour
for several years in the cities men,
toned and is now extended to cover
the smaller cities. Proprietors of de-
partment stores in upstate Cities
who desire to continue using chill
dren under sixteen, will have to re-
arrange their schedule of hours so
that their junior help shall not be
employed later than m. This ap-
plies equally to Monday and Sat-
urday evenings, and to the rush sea-
son prior to Christmas.

WILL PREACH DOCTRINE:
OF LIFE PRESERVATION
IN MINES OF COUNTRY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Is
Six life-saving cars for rescue work
in case Of coal mine diasters, are now
being. equipped by the bureau of
mines and will be located within a
few days in the midst of the differ
ent coal districts of the country. A
corps of miners trained in rescue
work and furnished with the latest
rescue apparatus will accompany
each car.
The terrible loss Of life in Ameri-
can coal mines finally forced con-
gress to take some action, for it was
shown that where. in foreign cOun-
tries. from one to two miners were
killed in every 1000 employed-here,
in the United States, the average was
from three to five lives wantonly
sacrificed.
A mining engineer and a surgeon
of the American Red Cross will ac-
trated lectures on the use of explos-
ives, electrical equipment, fire pre-
vention, sanitation and first surgical
treatment.
Each car will contain eight so-calfed
oxygen helmets, supply Of oxygen

HE MADE A DISCOVERY.

1t is we'll known that Ben Howard,
the local lumberman, possesses an
abundant fund of humor and that it
does not take much to call it forth.
Recently while down town at noon
he entered one Of the "every-man- his
own-waiter' eating houses and found
himself seated next to a little perky,
inquisitive, mind-other-peopl s-busi-
ness man.
The latter at once noticed that his
neighbours sleeve was empty and kept
eying it in an how-did happen sort
of way.
Ben paid no attention but went on
with his lunch until at last the in
quisitive one could stand it no longer.
He changed his position, cleared his
throat and said II beg your pardon
sir, but see that you have lost an
arm"
Ben picked up his empty sleeve and
peering anxiously into it, said "Why,
bless my soul. I do believe you're
right"

AGRICULTURAL .LABORERS
ARE STRIKING IN FANCE

PARIS. Nov. 1S.-AccOrding to fig
ures Issued by the labor bureau the
number Of strikes in France is In
creasing to an extraordinary degree.
In September. 1909, there were only
ninety-three strikes; this year 1873
were recorded. The month of October
shows a. similar increase over last
years figures.
A curious feature Is that strikes
have extended even to agricultural
laborers more than twenty having
taken place in October In the mid
die of the harvesting season.
Another curious fact Is the long
duration of the conflicts. Some Of the
strikes reported as still going on in
September had been begun more than
six months before.

Tickling tho Debtors.

John Barrett was only twenty-seven
years old when President Cleveland
appointed him minister to Siam. The
first important task which confronted
the youthful envoy was to press
claim against the siamese government
for $1,000,000. Experienced ambassa-
dors warned him against using threats
In obtaining the money. BE cunning;
avoid arrogance" they said.
'That is" responded Mr.. Barrett,
you favor tickling with straw to
pricking with a bayonet."
The statesmen nodded assent.
When the young minister had finally
succeeded in collecting the claim the
ambassadors asked In astonishment,
"How did you accomplish itT
by tickling" explained Barrett II
had to tickle them almost to death,
though. before they agreed to pay It."
