BRADSTREET FURNISHES
THE REASON OF UNREST

According to Bradstreet's (and
! this is conceded to be the most
! reliable source of information),
bread stuffs and live stock have
more than doubled in price; pro-
visions, fruits, hides and leather
have increased over SO per cent,
and textiles over 60 per cent.
This increase taking place since
; 1896.
Going over the list of articles
j most used by the average work.
! ingman, flour has increased in
cost 100 per cent since 1886, beef
over 80 per cent, pork about $50
per cent, mutton l25 per cent,
hams % 1-3 per cent, bacon over
ITO per cent, lard over $50 per
cent, butter 70 per cent and pota-
ties over 100 per cent. Even
during the past twelve months
there has been great increase In
certain articles.
During the last year -four has
advanced 60 per cent, pork over
20 per cent, butter 18 per cent
and coffee over Is per cent.
Bradstreet' figures are based
on market reports which are be-
yond controversy.
This brings two points forcibly
to mind.
When it was recently claimed
the cost of living had increased
more than rs per cent within 10
years, the statement was disputed
by a large employer of labor,
who was opposing an increase in
wages for certain men who had
been working for the same wage
for more than twelve years,
Again, that even with the more
fortunate branches of labor, the
increase in wages during the
period mentioned has not amount
ed to quite 18 per cent.
Is it any wonder there is a
'clamor in this country for a more
equitable division Of the product
of labor?

NATIONAL. CHILD LABOR
=. COMMITTEE COMMENDED

Reforms do not come of them
selves. Abuses are not corrected
automatically. Last year twenty
eight states made important
amendments to their school and
child labor laws. If it were pos
sible to trace all these efforts to
their ultimate source, it would
probably be found that the initial
impulse in most cases came from
the National Child Labor Com
mittee, which has its headquart-
ers at los East. Twenty-second
street, New York City. This CON-
mittee, organized in 1904 and in
corporated in 1907, has done a
noble work in the investigation
Of child labor conditions, making
public the facts in a series. of
pamphlets Of which No. 107 has
just been issued. AS the work
is supported entirely by volun-
tary memberships, anyone who
wishes to make a Christmas gift
to childhood in general cannot do
better than to add his name to
the roll of 1900 contributing
members.
Despite all that has been done.
a vast amount of labor remains to
be accomplished. Children have
been forced into the industries at
an increasing rate under the pres.
ent pressure of economic forces,
While the population Of the con-
tinental United States increased
500 per cent during the years
from 1880 to 1900, the total num-
Der of children from ten to fiji
teen years of age engaged in
trade and transportation increas-
ed 216.5 per cent and of those
engaged in manufacturing and
mechanical pursuits 1854 per
cent. In spite Of sentiment and
legislation, the number is still in
creasing. Compulsory education
and factory inspection are but in,
sufficient safeguards, During
the past year a boy of nine was
found working in a Vermont
wooden mill. In the sardine can
neries of Maine good many chill
dren of eight or ten years are
employed and during the busy
season they sometimes work Ii
or 16 hours at a stretch.
| 1t will not do to condemn in
dividuals for this outrage. The
greed Of parents or employers is
not wholly to blame. Conditions
have brought about this state of
affairs and we must remedy the
conditions. Childhood is sacred
and must not be despoiled Of it's
golden bloom if manhood is to
reap the rich harvest Of life. In
this end the national child labor

,ALLL OF MOST POTENT
WEAPON FOR TQILERS


BALLOT MOST POTENT K
WEAPON Fer ToILERs
When The gigantic trust Of
trusts known as the United States
Steel company came into power,
almost the last vestiges of union
ism were wiped out of the steel
mills.
To do this all the machin-
atoms conceivable by the best
brains that money could purchase
were brought to bear, The unions
were filled with spies. The whole
power of the various states, and
the national government was used
when needed. Pinkertons, state
militia and United States regulars
were supplemented with a special
constabulary In Pennsylvania to
accomplish this end. The unde-
veloped corners of the old world
were ransacked to find men who
were ignorant Of the necessity of
organization and between whom
race prejudices could be excited
to prevent such organization.
AS a result Of all these almost
diabolically shrewd methods the
union was wiped out and wages
reduced to the very subsistence
point. The mills were made into
veritable slaughter houses. The
men were tricked out of every lie.
gal protection which the laws
were supposed to give them. In
fact, it would be hard, if not i'm
possible, to discover another body
OF men of equal size that has been
reduced to such a pitiable condi-
ton Of industrial slavery.
The manufacture of steel is the
most advanced point of the indus
trial world. The trust is the mod
ell Of the industrial organization
of the future, and the steel trust
is the very apex of industrial de-
velopment. 1t is pointing the
road along which all industry is
travelling. Whatever happens In
the steel industry, therefore, is a
forecast Of coming events in other
lines.
When, therefore, the union is
driven from the steel industry as
a part Of the process Of trustifica-
ton, and when an examination Of
the beef trust, the oil trust, the
powder trust shows that the same
1 >
thing is happening in these indus
tries, then it becomes evident there
is a deliberate effort to strangle
the growth of unionism by shut
ting it out from the fields of fu-
ture industrial development.
The American Federation of La
Dor has recognized these facts and
is preparing for a widespread
fight. IF it is to- be successful in
that fight it must adapt its meth
DDS to the new problems presented.
Against such a mighty aggre-
cation of capital it would be fool
ish for the workers to divide on
trade lines. Where the courts and
the laws and the whole govern
ment framework are certain to
play such an important part, it
would be; worse than foolish to
throw aside the powerful weapon
Of the ballot, 1t would be most
foolish Of all to continue to hand
that ballot over to the enemy.
