PLACE CREDIT MARK TO

The complete victory Of the
United Mine Workers of America
in their contests this summer
speaks well for the generalship Of
the head Of that organization. AT
one time 100000 men were out,
and there was no violence on
either side,
The only matter to be deplored
was the loss Of time to the work
men while negotiations were be.
ing carried on. This has been
provided for in the future and
Cancellation and arbitration has
won another victory. T. l.. Lewis
has been criticised for the Illinois
incident, yet with all the other
sections out, and a good conces-
sion in a large district he was pro-
viding for contingencies which
might have arisen.

DISTORT TRUTH TO FILL
SPACE IN BIG DAILIES

The Associated Press carried a
story last week that Albert
Kreitler, vice president of the
pressmene union, had made an
infammatory speech before the
trades assembly in Denver, where
the pressmen are on strike on all
Of the large dailies. He is quoted
as saying that the papers there
would blow up before the union
would come to the terms offered
by the proprietors.
The Freshmen s union, as we'll as
the Typographical, has never been
accused of resorting in violence in
an effort to win a strike, only by
their avowed enemies, who use
that means to solicit public sym.
pathy. Nor do we believe that
Kreiter made any such statement
as is credited to him by the As
ISOLATED Press.
1t is sometimes the duty of the
Associated Press representatives
to twist the truth so that it will
conform to the wishes of the
Manufacturers Association.

most outrageously. Even fashion
able women's clubs may be unable
to resist the sense of outrage ami
mating the great majority Of the
city's inhabitants. Even police
men may be. carried away by the
universal indignation against the
company and refuse to do strike
duty.
But our stern hero, who is con-
demned to starve on an income of
$50, 900 a year, is not affected by
the senseless clamor of the pop:
ulace. He knows that law and or
der must be preserved in the first
instance, that the company must
be permitted, first of all, to re-
organize it's service with strike
breakers and that then will be
time enough for the discussion of
the rights and wrongs of the case.
Such is the ''justice'' which the
American would-be Little Napo-
leon is willing to concede to the
working people.

Even the kindergartens and nurs-
cries for their babies are a problem
to the rich.
The rich form boards to study how
to clean the streets. to make sanitary
the houses and to light the rooms in
which the workers live.
To care for their hungry babies
and to provide for their old age is
problem to the rich.
The idle, the fashionable and the
learned busy themselves with chart
ties. trouble themselves: with boards
to provide for the weak and helpless
dependents of the working class.
Sometimes when one thinks of the
burdens borne by the workers, even
the burden of the idlers that pretend
to help them, and of the misery that
is theirs, all this aims giving and
charity and philanthropy arouses only
bitterness and resentment.
For the poor not only provide the
idlers with rent. interest and profit;
they even send their sons and daugh-
ters into the homes of these idlers
to prepare their baths, to shave them,
to brush their clothes, to wash their
hair. to cook their food and to clean
away the dirt.
Yet these very ones, who are cared
for like babies by cooks, buffers, foot
men, Wallets and waiting maids, are
looked upon as philanthropists, and
rush off to their boards and commit
tees in the mad belief that they are
trying to solve the problems of the
poor.

BURDENS BORNE BY LABOR
"*5=I~% 5&.4. BY
By ROBER + HUNTER.

Sometimes one sees great build
ins supported by columns fashioned
like the giant figures OF human forms
And across the massive shoulders
of these men is an. enta blature on
which rests the structure.
In Greek these men were called
Atlantes, which is merely the plural
for Atlas, who was one of the older
family Of Gods and bore up the pill
lars Of heaven.
1t used to be very common in for
NAL architecture to place these two
giant figures at each side of a great
doorway.
1t is not easy to learn now all that
the ancients meant to tell BY these
figures.
Nearly everything they did was
symbolic, and it is possible they meant
to typify by these figures labor
bearing the burden Of the world.
And, indeed, when we think of
what labor has done for the world
it seems incredible that it should be
SO despised.
1t seems beyond belief that those
who produce food, clothing and shell
ter for the entire world--for them
selves and for all others-should be
still condemned to poverty and in
security.
1t seems impossible that a great
class, numbering vast ma tority Of
the population, toiling day and night
to produce all the necessaries and all
the luxuries of the world, should yet
themselves live from day to day in a
dread, uncertain existence.
Is it only a nightmare that these
men who solve the problems of our
material existence should today be
the problem of philanthropists and
aims givers?
Can anything be more weird than
that men of fashion, of wealth and
of leisure. should form their boards,
committees and charities to solve the
problems of these poor?
Is it not strange that in the midst
of vast wealth, of great estates.
palaces, cathedrals, skyscrapers and
marbleshops, of silk, satins. ewels
and laces which these Atlantes have
produced, the great mass of these
working giants should be ever on the
edge Of misery?
They take trains across continents
every day and night.
They cut the ties. lay the rails,

stringency is felt by all with
whom he has to do. Truly it has
