ONE UNION WILL NOT BOYCOTT

New York, Jan. 27.-Many retail
dealers who have hitherto held out
against the agitation for cheaper meat
lowered prices today and other com
modities continued to decline under
the combined influence OF the agita-
ton.
Meanwhile official attention, al
ready deeply engaged in probing the
reason for the high prices of milk
is turned more searchingly upon the
cold storage warehouses, declared by
some investigators to be responsible
in large part for the sustained high
prices of meat and other perishatle

The Merciless
[By Associated Press. ]

Paris, Jan. 27.-It is rumored this
evening that the dixie protecting Gen
nevillers, 6 miles from Paris, has
broken and that the entire town has
been inundated.
Late today the fiuvial department
predicted further rise of S inche7
before the crest of the flood in the
River Seine is reached.
The situation at between 20 and
80 suburban towns above this city
is worse than in the capital itself.
At Charenton, where the swollen
River Marine enters the Seine, an
area OF 200 square miles has been
flooded.
The submerged district includes
Alfortville and Irvy-Sur-Seine. with
a total population of $4,000. At this
point the soldiers and firemen are
doihg heroic work in reScuing falni-
lies In boats and pontoons.
At Alfortville the cemetery has
been washed out, and caskets, lifted
from their resting places. are floating
down stream.
From Anteuil to st, Germaine. the
lower portions of all the riverside
towns are deep beneath the waters
and soldiers are forcing the residents
to evacuate their homes. The do
mestic supply of water at several OF
the towns has been cut off.
The animals of the geological gar
dens, which were in danger of being
drowned. have been removed to high
er grounds.
The depleted supply of drinking
water has caused the greatest alarm
With the rise of the flood but few
inches higher the pumping stations
still in operation must stop, and Par

WILL NOT FINISH CASE TODAY

At 10 o'clock this morning. on the
convening of county court, the case
of w. b. Gould. case entirely sim
liar to that of Johnson, was called
for trial. Gould is under conviction
in the municipal court for unlawfully
selling liquor in a dry" town. He
was sentenced TO ninety days in Jail
but took an appeal to the county
court. The charge on which he is
being tried today is not, however,
this appealed charge but 1t is a diff
ierent complaint charging him with
conducting an ill-governed and dis
orderly house. AS in the Johnson
.ase the two charges. the one in the
municipal court and this one in the
county court, are based on the same
)ffense but the disorderly house
charge is brought under the state
law. Practically the same evidence
introduced in the trial of Gould on
the other charge in the municipal
court is being introduced against him
n the county court on the new
charge.
Gould. like Johnson, was arrested
in the raid on December "a. He has
been out under bond ever since his
arrest.

VALUE OF UNIONIsM IS
NOT HARD TO ESTIMATE

Let him who questions the
value of unionism pause to con-
slider for a moment just one thing
that unionism has accomplished.
It is we'll known that in the
early days of the present factory
system the days work extended
usually to fourteen or sixteen
hours.
This long day existed for all
workers, the skilled and the un-
skilled, the children as we'll as the
men and women. ~. @s-.g r

learned to organize and as in
dividuals they were utterly help
less to effect change in the; hours
of their labor or in the scale of
their wages. ... ii

NoN-Ex1sTENCE OF
LABOR UNION DID IT

Mr.. Schwab's plea Of TITS no
worse than other steel plants" in
defending the shocking conditions
at the Bethlehem steel works has
gained him: almost d full return
Of his former publicity. Here was
the showing Of the plant: Out of
every 100 men-29 working seven
days every week; 43, including
these 20, working some Sundays
in the month; 81 working twelve
hours a day; rs working twelve
hours a day seven days week ;
46 earning less than two dollars
a day: =. =. . r..
The government s inquiry into
Mr.. Schwab1s treatment of en-
ployes shows what happens in the
steel industry to ignorant foreign
labor when no labor organizations
exist. The twelve-hour day and
the seven-day week seemed to be
considered as fixtures in the steel
industry.
When he says that pverwork
and o'yerstrain are general, he is
correct, and his admission, as a
captain Of industry, will aid in
lighting up the Legitimate and
almost intolerable methods used
in dealing with helpless masses Of
immigrant labor. @:* {.

just how much union workers
have benefited by higher wages.
In that matter there is always
the question as to the increased
cost of living which makes diff
fcult any comparison of wages
here and abroad or of wages now

MIL WAUKEE PIE COUNTER

talked with e muckraker the other
day about Milwaukee, says Robert
Hunter.
He was keenly interested in Mil
Waukee and wanted to know all the
Socialists had done there and all they
expected to do there.
Milwaukee had surprised him, amaz
ed him, astounded him.
1t was not that the workers had
won or that Socialism had gained a
great victory.
The thing that astounded the muck
raker was this-it seems amusing
not single Socialist had asked for
a. job!
The Associated Press sent out the
news and it was telegraphed to all
parts of the United States and it was
news because such thing had never
before happened in America.
1t was contrary to the ordinary idea
OF politics in America. It was vic.
lation of every political law in Amer
lea.
And so the -astoundod reporter sent
out the astonishing news that aston.
ished the world and deepened the,
awful mystery of Milwaukee. Not a
single Socialist had asked for job!
1t never occurred to me that there
was anything remarkable in that facr
until I talked with this muckraker
and then I, too, began to get glim-
mer of what it meant.
I began to see in that fact some
philosophy.
I began to unders tand better tho
revolution that had occurred in Mil
waukee.
The fact is politics in America are
entirely unlike politics in any other
country of the world.
We are ruled nearly everywhere by

ers, grafters, thugs, lawyers and ex
convicts.
They are not exactly of the work
ing class nor are they of the capitalist
class.
Politics is their business and it's
whole philosophy to them is summed
up in jobs, in rake-offs, in brides, and
in blackmail.
These professional gentlemen con.
troll the Offices, the legislatures, and
the courts, and they sell PRIVILEGES
at so much per horse power to cur
financial grand dukes.

an active part in political routine.

that the stone and granite cut
tiers are we'll organized. i.
When we look up the figures of
their hours we find that they
work about forty-eight hours per

The brick layers, the carpen-
tiers, the hod carriers, the paint:
ers, the paper hangers, and the
plumbers are highly organized
trades and when we inquire into
the hours worked by these men
we find that they rarely average
more than fifty hours per week.
These workers then are the
aristocrats Of labor simply be-
cause they are we'll united in their
trade, are loyal to their organiza-
ton, pay their dues and fight a
common battle.
It would be difficult to find an
argument in support Of unionism
so potent as this one.

the stone cutters working forty
eight hours per week and another

The normal conditions that ex-
listed little more than half CEN
fury ago in England and else
where throughout the world of
the factory system are equalled
today only in certain plague spots.
When one reads the stories of
the misery and oppression, the
long hours and low wages Of those
days one wonders how the work
ers managed to live at all.
How much the condition of the
workers generally has been i'm
proved it is by no means easy to
say, but we do know that the con
dition Of the workers has vastly
improved wherever they have
learned to value unity.
In those trades where the men
have known enough to fight for
their rights and to stand together
there has arisen what some SCOT
fers like to call an "aristocracy
of labor"
And if in certain trades there
are indeed aristocrats of labor it
is simply because they have had
intelligence enough to fight to-
gether, to pay dues to one organ
