HELP ILLINOIS MINERS

Never has call for help gone unheed-
ed from the doors of the United Mine
Workers of Illinois. When Meyer, Hay
wood and PettibOne were in danger they
opened their treasury to fight the con
spiracy that would have hung these men.
When Mexican refugees were struggling
against the capitalism of two nations, the
national convention of the miners donat-
ed Il thousand dollars for their defense
Whenever another union of the work
ers has been on strike and asked assist
ance, the most liberal response has always
come from this organization. More than
Il quarter of a million dollars was poured
from the pockets of Illinois miners into
the relief fund of the anthracite coal
miners in their great strike. Fifty thou
sand more went to the West Virginia
miners when they were fighting for better
conditions, and the same generosity has
met every call that came to the organized
miners of this state.
Now they are fighting a hard battle.
That battle has reached the stage where
assistance must come from the whole
great army of labor. They have sent
out call to that army. Every union
that receives it should respond with the
same liberality that they have received in
the past.
The treasures of the unions should be
one common fund in time of war No
union will lose by assisting other organi-
cations in fight. Every victory won on
the industrial battlefield makes other vic
tories easier.-Chicago Daily Socialist.

WILL THE WORKERS FoPGETs

When the Sherman antitrust bill pass
ed the national congress, a committees
representing the industrial workers of
the country were assured by the judi
eiary committee that the bill could never
be construed to affect labor organizations
having in view the increasing of wages,
shortening of hours or betterment of CON
ditions.
AT that time the labor forces asked
that section of the bill be drafted ex-
empting labor organizations, and after
the assurance by members of congress
that the same was unnecessary, labor
unions were the first ones affected by
court decisions under this bill, and, in
fact, have been the only ones affected
When the sundry civil bill was before
the house, and an amendment providing
that no part of the appropriation for the
enforcement of the antitrust laws "shall
be spent in the prosecution of any organ

combination agreement having in view
the increasing of wages, shortening of
hours or lettering the conditions of labor

UNIONS AND HEALTH

One of the activities of the trades
union movement in which it has secured
remarkable results has failed to secure
the publicity which it deserves. In no
field of effort has more been accomplish
ed than in providing more healthful and
sanitary conditions for the wagc-carners-
AS Il result of these improved conditions
there has been Il marked decrease in the
percentage of tuberculosis among the
workmen of well organized industries.
From statistics recently secured we
find that in 1852 80 per cent of all cigar
makers deaths was due to tuberculosis.
In 1890 this percentage had been reduc-
ed to 30 per cent and in 1905 to "a per
cent In 1SSS the average life of n union
cigarmaker was thirty-fve years and five
months, and in 1905 it was forty-six years
and eleven months.
This certainly is n most positive ar
gumcnt in favor of the union shop, and
indicates that considerations entirely
apart from wages have influenced the
Cigarmakers' Union in its efforts to i'm
prove the social conditions of its men,
hership and the standard of living
The records of the Typographical
Union show n similar decrease, its sta
tistics for tuberculosis and diseases of
the respiratory organs indicating that in
1892 there was 40 per cent of deaths
caused by these diseases. in 1899 the per
centage had been lowered to A, while in
1907 it had been reduced to Sc
Both of these organizations stand for

followed the application of this princi-
pie.

Labor pays for everything. 1t pays
the expenses of living for those who do
not work. 1t pays all the expenses of
government, all the dividends on all the
stocks and bonds, all the cost of armies
and navies,, all the lavish expenditures of
the wealthy. 1t pays for all the Carnegie
libraries, all the Rockefeller college en-
dowments. 1t pays for building all rail
roads and trolley lines; all great public
improvements as river and harbor work,
irrigation, etc And labor has SO little
left after all these expenses are paid
that it very often has very narrow
squeak to get enough to eat, let alone the
other necessities.

Child labor is the latest social out
cropping of barbarism. The same greed
that exploited the black man exploits the
helpless child. Healthy society must have
healthy children. A million children in
America are defrauded through toll of
opportunity of developing healthy bodies
or to procure mental equipment for the
battle of life. Better have cotton mill
spindles idle than to turn out stunted
bodies and blighted lives every year. The
outright murder of an innocent child stirs
our wrath. But children by the tens of
thousands come to premature graves
through slavery and the nation is not
aroused The combined losses of both
Russian and japanese in the war were
not so great as the number of American
children who are worked to death every
year in our country.
