cHAs. sTELzLE TALKS OF
WoRKMANs CAUSE.

In Letters From Workingman, Rev.
Chas. Steltze says in part:
Why shouldn't workingman have
as much right as anybody to have a
minimum rate of wages? The doctors
get together and decide what shall be
the least amount for which they will
make a call. The coal dealers agree
on uniform price. The same thing
is true of practically every. business in
the country. Even some preachers or
CARNATIONS will not install a minister
unless the congregation promises to
pay him their union rates of wages
Why doesn't somebody set up a howl
on some of these folks? Why does ev-
erybody jump on the labor union when
1t simply follows the examples of those
who are supposed to know better?
Same thing with limiting the out
putt How often do we get slammed
on this question? Why doesn't the
country jump on the coal operators
who deliberately decide at the begin
ming of the season just how much coal
is to be mined, so that they may regu-
late the price? What about the owners

porations who do just as they choose
about such matters? Nobody seems TO
care very much about what these peo-
pie do, but the whole crowd will throw
1t into the workingman when he tries
to make fight for decent living. The
corporations do these things so that
they may get a bigger profit. The
workingman seeks to regulate his craft
so that he can make both ends meet.
Union is No Trust.
They call aus a trust. How can an
organization be a trust when we are
all the time after new members, try
ing to get every man in the craft TO
join us, and sometimes lowering or cut
ting our initiation fee altogether in
order to make 1t easier for him TO do
so? A Trusts exclusive. It's close
institution whose doors are closed only
to incompetent, immoral and disrepu-
table characters.
Then they say that we are insisting
upon CLOSED" shop. There's quite a
difference between closed shop and
union shop. AS a matter of fact,
when the average employer runs a So
called open" shop, 1t is actually a

ed every man who applies for job

member of a labor union?" II he is,

A ROUSlNG ADDRESS
Leatherworkers' President Gives Views
on Great Labor Fight in the
United States.

A large and enthusiastic audience
of union laborers and their friends,
listened to II. j. Baker, Kansas City,
president of the International Leather
workers Hnion, who delivered a very
able address at Union hall Saturday
evening. The head of, the leather
workers has made a close study of
the great union fight in this country,
having sized up the situation on the
coast on the present trip. In the
opinion of the speaker, the carrying
out of the sentence of the court in the
Gompers- Mitchell case-the serving of
time by the leaders-will mean more
to union labor in this country than
can possibly be estimated.

DISCUSSION OF
union QUESTION
PROTECTION OF RIGHT TO LABOR
REQUIRES PUNISHMENT FOR
TREASON TO THE CAUSE -
VIEWS OF IMPORTANT SUBJECT
BY AN EXCHANGE.

Concerning the great union subject
an exchange says:
No word in the English language is
held i'm more adherence than the word
"scab." No other cry will so quickly
rouse all the fierce passions of a work.
er No other name carries so deep dis
grace. Why is\this? What has the
man to whom 1t is applied done that
renders him creature of such con-
tempt? only taken a chance TO
work." says the average newspaper.
Acting like a free man." says the
capitalist apologist. Judge, police and
public press rush to defend him. Min
listers of the gospel justify him. All
the enginery by which public opinion
is ordinarily made, declares that he is
an honorable man. .,
Unionists Not Convinced.
Nevertheless the trade unionist, who
is usually all too willing to let these
people make up his mind for him in
other things, persists that of all the
creatures that cumber this earth the
scab is the most contemplate, the most
despicable, the most to be hunted out,
Cross qpestioneds he win admit the
theory that the scab has a right to
hunt for a job, but the next time he
sees the scab trying to carry out this
theory he is up in arms for his own
protection. And he is more nearly
right in the last than the first instance.
For the scab is truly the most damna-
BILE object our present civilization has
produced. But while down in the
he of fG ind "a Ioh De
worthy of the name, recognizes this
fact, it would puzzle him to give a
reason for the faith that is in him."
True View of the Case.
Let us look at 1t this way: Society
is today divided into two great classes,
between whom there is and must con-
tinue to be, while capitalism shall last,
eternal and bitter war. The one class
who own and control all the means of
life, the government, press and platform,
are compelled by competition to seek
continuously to reduce the other class
to the stage of mere existence. There
is no room for philanthropy in bust
ness. The capitalist who buys his raw
material, his machinery and his labor
power the cheapest can alone survive.
INC iel"oi = NieaF's' "hiCh peIloIihS
the work of the world must sell itself
to the ruling class. 1t cannot produce
independent of the owners of the ma
chimes, mines, and factories because
under competition only the cheapest
producer can exist and cheap produc-
ton demands the best. most expensive
and complicated machinery. The mem
bers are compelled, because of the fact
that social progress and private prop
erty in improved machines in making
vast numbers of them unnecessary in
the process Of production, to fight
among themselves for any opportunity
to live. If they are to rise an atom
above the slaves portion they must
unite and fight side by side against the
class of exploiters.

MARRIAGE OF CLERKS.
Have to Wait For a Certain Amount
of Salary in Australia,

A report on behalf Of sweated bank
clerks, setting out their conditions of
labor has been issued by the Sydney
(Australia), Clerks union. The report
states that banking regulations forbid
marriage until certain rate of salary
has. been secured, which is declared TO
be an Ubiquitous interference with the
clerks private affairs. Altogether the
document is one more proof Of low
wages being the cause Of low birth
rate.

on the 11th. We left San Francisco
after about two months at the Baldwin
theater. Our engagement. 1 think,
closed on the 11th of May. 1876. and we
went TO Chicago.
Hotel accommodations in those days
were not what they are now, and We
were put up as best could be arranged
in a Chicago hotel. I was TO so on to
New York the next day and Louise
Hawthorne begged me to make ar
rangements so that she could get the
apartment which 1 was leaving. Hers
was even smaller. I did so. 1t took. in
those days. 36 hours to reach New York.
The first paper that was thrust into my
hands told the story of how Louise
Hawthorne had fallen from the window
of the room to be crushed on the flags
five floors below. The sill was low, the
window was open. and though nobody
will ever know how the accident hap
pened, it is presumed that she leaned
against the sill. lost her balance and
plunged into space.
"She was great leading woman, a
statuesque beauty. and charming, de-
lightful personality"

Nobody on the stage, of course, hears
it, That's funny isn't it? But this Is

in a stage whisper that the said
gentleman in the last seat in the
