STEEL STRIKE OFF.
Executive Board Ends the Long Struggle
"A Fourteen Months Strike.

The strike of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
against the United States Steel Corpora
ton, which has been on for about IA
months, is now thing of the past. The
executive board of the Amalgamated as
sociation, yielding to the many appeals
from various lodges and individual tin
plate workers, decided to end the strike
and allow the men to return to work
wherever possible. This action of the
executive board coming SO soon after
the announced determination upon the
part of the lodges affected to continue
the strike, has naturally caused much
surprise in some quarters. However, the
board is more than likely justified in
setting aside the decision to continue
the strike, because of the fact that only
small number of the men affected voted
upon the proposition, and the result
could not by any stretch of Imagination
be viewed as rejecting the sentiment of
the majority. The strikers in all towns
affected were reported to be greatly
pleased when the news reached them.
Many of these men have been without
work for the entire IA months of the
strike.
The trouble was precipitated by the
Steel Trust, which just prior to the close
of the scale year, in July 1, 1909, an
nounced five per cent. reduction in all
tin mills and the determination of the
trust to operate all of its mills in the
future on the open shop basis.

LEGALITY OF The BOYCOTT.

At last one judge has come out with a
logical decision. 1t is Judge Manton Of
Toledo.
This Judge holds that II It is legal for
business to combine It is also legal for
labor to combine. That II 1t is legal for
one merchant to freeze another out by
lowering prices and thus taking the Gus
toners away it is legal for labor to agree
to freeze employers out by refusing to
buy their goods.
This same Judge also holds that the
right of defendants to publish and make
known to the public their grievances.
real or imaginary. against the plaintiffs
in the manner the evidence shows they
acted. is guaranteed by the constitution
of the state"
Judge Manton should be a Socialist.
He stands for the rights OF the workers
and for freedom OF speech and boldly
tells the capitalists that they can't ride
rough shpd over the unions.
If he stands for collective ownership
of the productive machinery and the
means of life he is ready to step into
the ranks of the revolutionists.

ONE DEFINITION OF WAGES.

Wages are a perpetual reminder of
mans inferiority to man. When all men
are equal there will then be no necessity
for them.
Wages are in reality a blind, intro
party not in control into the belief that
they are free.
Formerly the vassals of an overload
gave their allegiance to him and sup
piled him in kind with everything that
they could make for him. Now they are
just as much bound to him, only they
don't know 1T, because he pays them
wages. But these wages that he pays
them he gets directly from them. What
it amounts to is that, as they work for
him, they take only small part of the
product for themselves or, rather, he al
lows them only a small part. He takes
the rest, puts it in the bank, or buys Sc
curities with it. or anything else by
which he can double his money in a
given time. Thus he Is enabled to con-
troll more, because he can pay more
wages.
The only difference between the old
system and the new is that in former
times men were frankly slaves. They
were called slaves and known as such.
Now they are also slaves. but it is more
expedient to give them the delusion that
they are free. Thus they are apparently
paid for their services in wages, which
in the form of toll they themselves sup
ply to the captains of industry.
When they strike they are condemned
for interfering with the rights of prop.
erty."
Thus the whole system is complete,
even to the voting power. For men vote
only for those who are sanctioned" by
the party in control.
When anybody kicks and tells the
truth he is put down as a fanatic or
dreamer If the kick is strong and at
tracts the attention of the plain peo-
pie" Mr.. Hill, Mr.. Rockefeller, Mr..
Gould and other lofty patriots come out
with interviews in the papers, in which
they say that an era of prosperity is
bearing down so hard on us as to bring
the tears of joy to all eyes.-Life.

LABOR NEVER BETTER.

Never was the American Federation
of Labor in better fighting trim than to-
day" This is the note sounded In the
yearly Labor Day review, which Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers of the American
the Labor Day edition of the Federation
list, the organ of the A. F. of l..
Gompers says: Never were the vari-
Gus big international unions generally
better provided with munitions for their
struggles; never was the movement
stronger in point of solidarity.
I'VE believe we can read, in the COM
posite voice of the pulpit, the press and
the platform, the encouraging fact that
the sentiment of the people Of America
has in the last few years turned towards
recognition of the necessity of trade
unionism.
Speaking OF the Injunction suits,
which. In the past year, have given the
Federation its most bitter struggles and
have placed above the heads Of the three
leads of the A. F. OF L. jail sentences
for contempt of court, Gompers says:
This case is nowise in the prejudiced
position In which 1t stood when first
brought before the public. Whoever sees
that in this matter the rights Of men
are being menaced by undue extension
of rights claimed for property. and that
the courts are Justly limited In their
powers by constitutional provisions. also
speedily sees that the case OF Mitchell.
Morrison and Gompers is not a petty
matter Of defiance of courts by labor agi-
tators, but Is one concerning in future
every citizen in rights that are vital un-
der a republic"
Gompers separates the labor move
ment in America from that In European
countries by pointing out that there the
differences are those of class and poll
tics, while in America the economic
question is all-important. He says that
the political tone OF the European labor
bodies is not apt to be adopted in this
country.
TN all its breadth and Depth" he con-
cludes. "the American trade union move
ment has waxed mightier. Its militant
activity has been justified by events"

MRS. WILLIAMSON HoNoRED.

Mrs. Katherine Williamson, candidate
for congresswoman in 1912, leader in
the women's organizations of labor, ac-
tive club women, has just been chosen
chairman of the legislative committee OF
the State Federation of Women's clubs.
This office was formerly held by Mrs.
M. A. b. Conine and is considered one
of the most important positions that
women can bestow upon their fellow
workers.
The work of the legislative commit
tee has been to bring about legislation
that shall be beneficial to women and
children in this state. Mrs. Williamson
goes into the new office with the inten-
ton of making the Legislative committee
as effective as she may in bringing about
such measures as shall advance her own
sex and improve the conditions under
which women and children in Colorado
work.
The eight-hour law for women, aboli-
ton of all child labor and better educa-
tional facilities are all her hobbies.

SOCIALISTS IN MILWAUKEE,.

Even the most hostile admit that the
Socialists have already done some good
things in Milwaukee. They have straight
ened out the city's finances. They have
separated tax receipts from bond re-
ceipts. They found in use methods of
accounting that are totally discredited
in all modern business houses Such old
style letter files as were used by Andrew
Jackson and Jefferson Davis had never
been discarded. Some department offices
had no inventories to furnish their sue
cessors. The new administration began
to introduced new systems Hereafter
when citizen wants to know how and
where certain funds are going it will not
be necessary to send to New York or
Chicago for commission OF accountants
as has been frequently the case in the
past.
Property accountability is being estab-
lished and the council has arranged to
install a cost-keeping system so that
hereafter any citizen can know at any
time what is the cost of every square
yard of pavement, every foot of sewer,
every item in every other Improvement
This in itself will probably work the
death of contracts and in any event will
make clear at a glance the exact profit
that every contractor will reap from his

the public service. No more sinceures
are maintained for political henchmen.
and not one place is given out as a re-

heads. They work from ten to fourteen,

professional schools, who really might
have made first-class mechanics On
the other hand, there are large num-
bers of workingmen who aspired to
positions in life for which they were
utterly untitled and who have today
degenerated into bitter cynlcs. This
class furnishes a large percentage
of those who are dominated by the
spirit of social unrest. They are the
disappointed Missionaries among the
artisan class-the idealists without a
sense Of proportion.
1t is unfortunate that our system
of neutrality-suspicious. our pub
lie schools-is such that the vast ma
jortity of children, even the sons and
daughters of the working class, desire
to become professional men and
women because they have an idea
that such work is more "genteeP'
than that in the trades; with the re-
suit that the professions are over
crowded with people who are untitled
flor the occupation which they have
selected as their life's work. The next
great task of our educational institu-
tional is so to dignity mechanical la
nor that it will appeal to the boys
because Of the possibilities in it for
them. This will raise the artisan
class to higher and >saner level, and
will give the efficient workingman
the place in society to which he Is
justly entitled. It will take away the
false conception, present even among
workingmen themselves, that to toll

Practically every American boy
has, at some, time, been dominated

he not been told repeatedly that this
is quite within his rights? Many a

undoubtedly be denied him. Forum
ately, he soon. found some other oc-
cupation.
There is something fine in the
thought that the greatest gift in the
power of the people may, in time, be
bestowed upcU the humblest youth
in the land. But here, as in some
other things, it would be welF to give
the young people of our country a
clear sense Of proportion and an ap-
probation of True values. It is so
'marifestly impossible for more than
perhaps a dozen men to become presi~
dent during the average period of
possibility in a mans life, that it
