"The condition of the women and
children in the shacks that the labor
unions have built to shelter them will
not bear description. They are herded
without any regard for comfort or
decency; they live in their own filth;
they are eaten Of vermin; they are half
starved; they are clothed in the castoff
rags Of others; they are the innocent
victims of great social wrong.

THEY NEED NO UNIONS.

Mississippi Roustabouts Control Their
Own Labor Market.
The most formidable aggregation Of
laboring men known to students OF
American labor conditions are the
roustabouts who work on the steam
boats on the Mississippi river.
They furnish the most remarkable
example Of what can be accomplished
by the community of interests" theory
by which they hold together in their
demands for higher wages before hir-
ing to the steamers that are ready
to start on trip.
Unorganized and without head or
leadership. they demand and obtain
during the busy season 800 to $12O
a month for labor that requires no
skill, but considerable muscular
strength and endurance.
They are a refutation of the adage,
"In union there is strength" as they
have no unions. They are an ANAL
gamated labor anomaly, without or
ganization of any kind, having no
meetings, no officers, no walking dele.
gates; they do not strike. the boycott
is unknown to them. they are proof
against legal proceedings Of any kind,
yet they have compelled capital to bow
to their demands. and the steamboat
men aver that the roustabouts are able
to defy powers Of God. man, the
devil and the civil laws"
Government by injunction is Of no
avail against the roustabouts owing to
the lack Of organization.
Efforts have been made by many OF
the steamboat men to thwart the ef-
forts of the roustabouts by employing
Italians, Greeks and Hungarians. but
the foreigners do not take kindly to
life on a Mississippi river steamboat.
They seldom remain on a boat more
than one trip. and the negro is again
importuned to go back to work.
The methods of the negro rousta-
bouts In enforcing their demands for
wages are simple. They gather near
a boat that has finished loading her
cargo and await the call of the mate.
II his offer of wages does not suit
they refuse to accept The boat may
be filed with passengers. and the Of
ficers may want to get away. Ii the
demands are not met by the officers
Of the boat the negroes walk of. and
the boat may be delayed twelve hours
or more by their action
Every hours delay means additional
expense to the boat, and unless a new
gang can be obtained the officers of
the boat will be forced to come to time
by meeting the demands.

Not a Printer In Stripes In the vlr.
ginia Penitentiary.

The Interesting statistical fact was
recently developed that among the
1000 or more convictS in the Virginia
penitentiary there is not among them
q printer 1t seems that the editor OF
a weekly newspaper recently wrote to
Governor Mann. making inquiry on the
subject with view to giving the man
employment. The governor sought In
formation at the penitentiary with the
result that not printer could be
found among the felons In striped
garb.
1t might be asserted that this is
mere curious accident, inasmuch as
there have recently been preachers,
lawyers, physicians and men of every
vocation among this large criminal
class. and perhaps the condition Is
unique. There is a reason, however.
why more printers are not criminals.
In the first place, the trade or art is
one In which a man need rarely re-
main long unemployed. The demands
for printers is still great. even since
the invention of several typesetting ma
chimes. The hand compositor cannot
be dispensed with yet, and there is
scope for much taste and judgment In
the business of hand composition In
the first place. the printer is seldom
loafer. If he loafs or sprees for time
he goes back to work again. Another
reason for this immunity from crimi-
nality is the fact that the printer who
has been at the business for any length
Of time is usually intelligent and well
informed. Not few men have &C.
quired practically all the education
they have at the case. They think as
they work and read. Indeed, no man
will become q competent printer who
does not soon begin to understand
what he reads. Generally the ability
to speak and write correctly and fiu-
emily comes to the man who stands all
day picking up type and aligning them
In stick" Life would be a dreary
monotony to him IL he did not COM
prehend what he was putting into type.
Intelligence, education and employ
ment are antithetic to crime. just as
ignorance and idleness are contributory
to It. All honor to the calling whose
thousands have no representatives in
the felon class. May the vocation
maintain its present high standard
and prove an example and an inspira-
ton to future apprentices to main
tain the ethics Of the ''art preserva-
! tive OF all arts."-Danvine Va) Bee.

THE COST OF A QUARREL
Pathetic Story of the Strike In the
WestmoreIand Coal Fields.

Pathetic Story of the Strike In the
WestmoreIand Coal Fields.
In Westmoreland county, Pa. the
longest strike on record still drags on.
A. S. Crapsey has just finished a COM
plete investigation and makes thrill
ing report in the August American
Magazine.
1t is a coal strike. and it has been
going steadily on since March 10, 1910.
On one side are the operators, and on
the other side are the United Mine
Workers of America. The operators
are organized. but they object to the
unionizing Of the men. The quarrel
really started over that point. Then
questions of pay. conditions of labor.
and SO on. became involved.
But 1t is the cost of the quarrel that
is most interesting now. The United
Mine Workers have actually paid out a
million dollars In cash to the men who
are on strike. The operators have spent
half a million for extra police protec-
ton. Untold millions are the loss
through limitation of output and in
creased expenses.
Twenty lives have been lost and I'M
speakable suffering incurred. Babies
have been born in the open fields where
the strikers have camped out. Sickness
has abounded. Drinking has increased.
Moral degeneration has set in. Physical
weakening of the men has taken place.
1t is a terrible story.
The war Is coming to close because
the miners have exhausted their re-
sources and must give up. Mr.. Crap
sey, who writes In great fairness. says,
in conclusion:
mo one could be with these men for
any length of time without feeling for
them a pathetic admiration. They
were sacrificing their immediate COM
fort for a future good. They were fight
ing for cause. They were convinced
that they were battling for two primi-
tive rights of man-the right of man
to own himself and the right Of a
man to own his job. Most of them
had come from eastern Europe allured
by promises of freedom and plenty.
They found slavery and starvation
awaiting them. One Italian said to
me, drawing his hand across his neck,
Il Gamma live like a man; cutta a
throat
"These men were living on starva-
ton allowances. The union gave each
man $3.50 a week, with small add
tional sum for each child. They were
limited to the simplest food. Bread
and molasses was luxury. They
would march every afternoon a dis
lance of i've miles to and from the
mines and go supperless to bed, and
yet they hold on. There is a wistful

Menace 70 Unionisno.

The A. f. Of L. executive council
was In session in Washington the 9TH

on its members that the jurisdictional
quarrels in affiliated unions have be-

session that "the absurdity Of unions
warning among themselves to deter

do that long since has been apparent
