(By NJ. Grant Hamilton)
Without knowledge thereof the antag-
onistic employers associations are per-
unions. Opposition of the character ex-
hibited in the Buck Stove & Range com
pany's case indicates an irrational con-
cept of human relations.
The objects to be attained by these
associations is entirely predicated upon
the destruction of unionism. r
Experience unfolds history that de-
struction of humane effort to elevate the
standard of men for the purpose of graf
flying purely commercial and selfish mo-
tives, finally meets out it's own destruc
ton.
Under the combined and persistent
policy of bitter warfare our movement is
becoming more thoroughly solidified.
The purposes of these employers are be-
coming more apparent to the general
membership, and the feeling is growing
that the union is the only method where
by the interests of the wage-earner can
be protected.
While the Manufacturers association
is conducting its mo quarter" battle the
unions are growing in efficiency and
strength. Greater opportunities are pre-
sented to place our cause before the pub
lie, and with an increasing understand
ing of the objects sought by the unions
the future must declare them in accord
with the highest ideals of American citi-
zenship.
Condemnation and hostility for any
cause founded upon justice and equal
arrestment, but their influence will
eventually fade and the efforts of the
true stand out in greater relief.
The occupation of men engaged in an
effort to deprive wage-earners from re-
tanning a fair share of their production
is not a philosophy that will stand the
test of time.
Political economists of the me only"
kind have no thought further than that
economy which brings to the manufac-
turer an ever-increasing profit. The econ
omists of the genuine sort appreciate
that ability to consume is equally as i'm
portant as the ability to produce.
Increasing consumption of the manu-
factured products can only be attained
by increasing the ability of the wage
Garner TO purchase these products. The
candle can be burned at both ends, but
it's light is not materially increased.

STRIKERS IN BIG PARADE.
Union Men Show Contempt for Non
Unionists.

Union Men Show Contempt for Nom
Unionists.
For the first lime in several weeks
violence entered the lockout situation of
the Homestake Mining company at Lead,
S. D.. when Thomas Fadden, an ardent
union man, took exception to some re-
marks of George Mathews, an aged man,
made in a saloon here, and slugged him.
At the same time Martin Burke attacked
James Matthews, and serious trouble
was averted by some bystanders. Both
Fadden and Burke were arrested, and
given night trial in the police court,
Fadden being sentenced to 80 days in
Jail and Burke being given time for
later hearing. The assault was caused
by the Mathews men signing the Home
stake lists and announcing the fact.
The big parade given by the unions to
show their contempt for the nonunion
order of the company drew over one
thousand in line, despite the snow. The
parade was orderly, there being no DEM
onstration of any sort. Signs showing
the attitude of the stand-pat union men
toward those who have signed the hsts
were displayed in the parade, one de-
claring that as Saint Patrick drove the
snakes out of Ireland, SO should the
"scabs" be driven out of Lead.

CLAUDE w. STONE.

In the death of Claude w. Stone, which
occurred Thursday, Dec. 3Oth, 1909, the
Cigarmakers' Union and several frater.
nal orders have lost one of their most
valuable men that we have ever been
associated with. He came to the West
ern country in 1888 and was an active
member in union circles. During the
panic of 1898 he, with several other
cigarmakers, engaged in business as
manufacturers of cigars. He was sue
cessful in all his undertakings, and made
friends wherever he was. He Joined the
Cigarmakers' Union in 1888 at Jersey
City, N. j., and since that time has had
continuous membership. Some years ago
the Cigarmakers sent him over the state
for the purpose of advocating home in
dustry and he proved to be the greatest
agitator along that line of any man the
state of Colorado has ever had. He was
an ardent supporter at all times of home
industry. He was one who performed
his duties fearlessly and who dared to
stand up for the principles of organized
labor. During the Cripple Creek strike
in 1896 when Governor Waite was in of
flee, he visited that place and was or
dered out of the city, but instead of
obeying orders that were issued by few
members of the mine owners, he stood
firm and by his ability succeeded in
bringing the strike to a close. That be-
ing only one instance where he demon
strated his superior judgment. During
the time the Western Labor Union was
at it's strongest period in this Western
country, Stone was one of those who
dared to stand up and fight for the prin-
ciples of the American Federation of La
Dor, as being threatened with his life if
he did not cease advocating the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and join the
Western Labor Union, he refused to be-
come traitor to his own organization
and as time has passed we find that the
stand he took relative to the American
Federation of Labor was correct as the
Western Labor Union now is no longer
and the American Federation of Labor
is one of the strongest in the world.
So we can point with pride to our de-
ceased brother and always say, "He was
loyal to his fellowmen and in that way
proved to be a man among men." We
regret very much in the loss of this
brother. On March 5th, 1908, at the time
that he was beginnin gto get started in
nice shape in his business he had the
misfortune to be stricken with paralysis,
which caused his death. The remains
were shipped to his former home, to his
brother, Gus Stone, at Jamestown N. Y.
The various orders, of which he was a
member, the Fraternal order of Eagles,
the Order of Redmen, the Odd Fellows
and the Cigarmakers' Union turned out
in a body and escorted the remains to
the depot, Sunday, January End. The
large body of men taking part in the
funeral services Sunday demonstrated
the mans popularity, as his being virtu-
ally an invalid for almost two years and

The controversy between the railroads
of the Northwest and the striking
Switchmen did not end in an amicable
settlement at the conference in st. Paul,
MINI. Not only have the switchmen de-
clared all negotiations with the railroads
at an end, but the labor officials say that
there is a strong possibility of a general
strike by all OF the allied orders belong
ing to the railway branch of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. Conductors,
engineers, firemen. trainmen and many
switchmen are not affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor organiza-
tions, but will undoubtedly stand by the
strikers.
H. B. Perham, who has been acting as
chairman of the railway council of the
American Federation of Labor, insession
Monday night, where he will seeg the aid
of federal officers.
President Hawley of the Switchmen's
Union of North America, asserted: "Sev-
eral other members of the railway coun-
ell besides Mr.. Perham left for their
headquarters Monday night to make prep
arations for a strike of their respective
orders"
Mr. Perham said that he would reach
Washington on Thursday. He said he
might seek to interest the interstate COM
merce commission and he might take the
case directly to President Taft. In the
conference between the railroads and
the labor officials Monday the railroad
officers refused 10 take back striking
switchmen, except as they had places
for them. They gave the switchmen until
Wednesday to accept this offer The Of
fer was Immediately rejected by the Ia
