WILL FIGHT COURTS,
Governors of Twenty-Four States Resent
Invasion of State Rights by Fed
eral Judges"

The convention of state governors,
which met in session at Spring Lake,
N. j., went on record against the 'inva-
sion of the functions and rights OF the
states by minor federal judges
The action OF the governors was
prompted by the decision of Justice San
borne of the United States circuit court
of appeals, enjoining the railroad com
mission of Minnesota from regulating
state rates on the ground that such reg
ulation could not be enforced, would de-
prive the roads of proper remuneration
and interfere with interstate commerce
Hoke Smith, governor OF Georgia, de
cIared: IF the decision of Judge san
borne becomes the law of this country,
the twilight zone will so broaden that
we will never see twilight again in the
regulation OF passenger and freight
traffic"
A committee composed OF Judson Har-
mon, governor of Ohio; Chester II. Aid
rich, governor of Nebraska, and Herbert
S. Hadley, governor of Missouri, was Sc
lected to present protest TO the su-
preme court against what the governors
consider an invasion of states rights by
the courts.

DOING THINGS IN sERvIA.
Servians No Longer Work from Sunrise
to Sunset-Unionism Shortens the
Hours of Labor.

The introduction of trades unionism
into Servia has brought about many
!, changes for the better among the work
i2g classes The greater benefits as far
as hours OF labor are concerned, have
been secured by those working in fac
tories, a class that has embraced union
ism to a much larger extent than those
engaged in other lines of business. The
following statement is from the Daily
Trades and Consular Reports" issued by
the Bureau of Manufacturers, Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor: "In ac-
cordance with the law of June %, 1910,
it has been ordered that business houses
in Belgrade must not be opened earlier
than 6:30 a. m, and must be closed at
500 p. m. They must also be closed
between 1870 and 200 p. m.
"The stores of the wholesale mer
chants may be kept open two hours
later from March ! to April Is and from
September l to October 15, the busy sea-
son. Retail stores may be kept open
two hours longer from April Is to June
IS and from September ! to October !.
In the city of Nish business places may
be kept open from a. m. to 1890 p. m
and from 1:15 to 7:30 p. m. In all other
cities and towns in the interior the hours
are from a. m. to noon and from to s
p. m. from April l to September 30 and
from a. IN. to noon and from l to p.
IN. during the rest of the year. On Sat
urday the stores may be kept open until

WHY SWAT THE FLY?
ELEcTROCUTE HIM!

An electrical device to destroy flies
will be among the numerous interesting
exhibits to be shown in the inventors
department of the second annual cleo
trical exposition of the Colorado Electric
club at the Denver Auditorium October
IA to 81.
The machine not only corrals the flies
from a large radius and electrocutes
them. but 1t frequently incinerates the
pests. without disagreeable odor, but has
the further advantage of working night
and day. In the course of 48-hour pc
riod it will usually rid a room or dwell
ing of the insects which science now
declares are responsible for spreading
many of the worst diseases of the human
family
The device consists of cage of cop
per wires, the wires running horizontally
and parallel at a distance apart slightly
less than the width of the smaller flies

THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL.
Settlements of the Future Will Come
Not Through the Courts of Law
But Through the Courts of
Public Opinion.

United States Circuit Judge Grosscup
of Chicago, one member of the judiciary
who has never indicated any sympathy
for labor, after a career of 19 years as
member of federal judiciary in the
northern district of Illinois, has an
nounced that he will send his resigna-
ton to President Taft shortly after the
meeting of the United States court of
appeals on October s. Judge Grosscup
has given to the public the reason for
his coming resignation the following:
THE reason for my resigning at all
is that | wish more freedom, not only as
an individual, but as a citizen. The
world politically is trying to catch up
with the worlds radically changed eco
nomic conditions. The formative period
is approaching. Next years presidential
election, will, l believe, be the last one
on the old lines. And the settlement
for the future will come not through the
courts of law, but through the court OF
public opinion. | wish no office, but l
wish greater freedom than the bench
gives to do my part in this court OF
public opinion"

THE ROOT EVIL.
Employers In the Future Will Treat with
the Employed In the Spirit of
Equality.

Commenting editorially on the recent
convention of the Trade Union Congress
at New Castle, England, Reynolds News
paper has this to say:
The hopeful element in the present
situation is the fact that the matters in
dispute are being debated by two public
bodies, the Trade Union Congress sand
the Royal Commission, and it will be
strange, indeed, if out of the airing OF
grievances and clashing of opinions
something like permanent solution of
the labor problem is not reached. For
one thing, in future there will be at
tempts on the part of the masters to
treat with the men in the spirit of equal
ity. The root evil in the industrial
world has been the attempt of the capi-
talsts to import into the labor arena
the old feudal spirit of the landed
classes. In the early days of industry
this spirit no doubt had its good side, but
when huge factories began to rise, when
men were congregated in masses, the
old personal tie between masters and
men was broken. Feudalism, as Arnold
Toynbee has well said, though it fingers
in a few country places, has virtually
died out of trade. The employer cannot
offer, and the workman cannot accept
the old relation of the protection and
dependence. Unfortunately the desire
to keep the worker in dependence still
fingers in the industrial world, and to
this must be attributed the friction
which eliminated in the recent strikes
In his work on labor, George Howell
puts the situation in a nutshell as fol-
lows: The whole business of the world
is carried on by system of bargaining
and competition. The trader seeks to
protect himself by all the means in his
power against competitor and consumer
alike He is the seller and he fixes the
price of his commodity, subject to modi-
fication, at his own sweet will or pre-
force as the case may be. The work
man is the seller of his labor; he seeks
at least a voice in fixing its value or its
price. The employer, who is the buyer
has always regarded this as monstrous;
he, the buyer, must fix the price and its
conditions This attempt at despotic
dictation, this attempt to bring into the
labor world the old aristocratic rela-
tions of lord and serf, has broken down,
and the outcome is a Royal Commission
to consider the best way of adjusting
differences so that capital and labor may
work in harmony"

SOME RESULTS.

The following excerpt from "Toilers
of Missouri" issued as a supplement to
the thirty-second annual report of the
Missouri Bureau of Labor Statistics,
will show that unionism is a profitable
investment: while the average time
for organized labor is S.S7 hours a day,
there are 94 locals in st. Louis whose
members worked only hours day. In
addition there were As with 8 hours, Al
with 10 hours, two with u hours, and
one with 10 hours a day. One local mad
a schedule of S12 hours day. The
highest wages per hour were paid to the
plasterers, who received IS cents. Then
came the bricklayers with 20 cents an
hour; stonemasons, G5 cents; carpen-
ters 60 cents; electrical workers, Go
cents; cement workers, 60 cents; engi-
neers, 62k cents; ironworkers and lath-
ers, 62R cents; painters, 60 and 62R
cents; pipe coverers, 62A cents; plumb
ers, G6h cents; machine operators,
printers, 60 cents; roofers, 621R cents;
steam filters, 6S24 cents; tuck pointers,
go cents. Union cooks drew $25.00 a
week, fiat. Some engineers were paid
$4,000 a month, straight"

HITS THEM AGAIN.
Dividend Dividing and Profit-Sharing
Scheme of the Sugar Trust and
Steel Trust Are Condemned.

Secretary Frank Morrison of the
American Federation of Labor lauded
labor organizations and fiayed the trusts
in St. Joseph, Mo-, recently. The fol
lowing excerpt from Secretary Morri.
sons address appeared in the st. Joseph
Union:
Morrison saw in the hostility of en-
ployers of labor not bad sign OF the
day, but rather an indication of the ne
cessity of organization of the wage work
ers. He condemned the dividend dividing
and proft-sharng schemes of the sugar
trust and the steel trust. He said that
if the roll was called of corporations
using the scheme that not one would be
found employing union labor. He said
in those concerns the man had nothing
to say about the hours of employment,
the wages or the conditions under whlch
the men must work.
There are some misconceptions OF
organized labor to which l would like
to call your attention. said Mr.. Morri-
SON The unions are not opposed to or
ganizations of employers. They welcome
such organizations, because with them
they are able to make terms which bring
about peace. But the unions will oppose
to the death organizations of employers
which are organized solely to destroy or
ganized labor.
unions provide that poor man shall be
paid as much as a good man at his trade.
The unions set a minimum rate, the
smallest amount a union man is entitled
to receive. There is nothing to prevent
an employer from paying any amount he
wants above the scale. The fact is that
the employer takes the minimum scale
provided and makes it his maximum. Or
ganized labor legislates for the majority.
Organized labor is not opposed to
labor-saving machinery. While organ
lied men are not begging for machinery
they do say that they want shorter
hours, so that more men can be en-
ployed, and that labor-saving machinery
will be a blessing and not a curse.
some say that labor is trust. The
definition of a trust is an organization
of few persons to control an industry
so as to control prices, the profits of the
business to be divided among a few men.
Organized labor welcomes every wage
worker into it's ranks and wants to make
the organization as big as possible.
Beats them all. La Belle sc cigar.

"THE DISGRACE OF CIVILIZATION"
Organized Labor Has the Medicine That
Will Stamp Out Phthsis and APP
plies the Remedy Daily.

Dr. Edwin F. Bowers, in a disserta-
tion On tuberculosis, declares it is
caused by poverty and malnutrition I'm
der the caption of Tuberculosis, the
Disgrace of Civilization" in the Western
Railway News, he writes: The splendid
work of Dr. Evans of Chicago in pub
licsing knowledge on this vital subject
has stimulated emulation from physi-
clans, health boards, district nurses as
sociations and civic improvement socie-
ties all over the country, and effective
work is being accomplished in stamping
out this disgrace of civilization, the
Great White Plague.
But (and here's the rub while we
know how to prevent and how to cure
lin the early stages the death rate
shows no perceptible diminution. Why
is this?
Because we haven't attacked the
basic cause of tuberculosis, poverty and
malnutrition. The wealthy do occasion
ally die of it, but in proportion of one
to seven. The poor, overworked, under
fed wage slave pays tribute to this mod
ern notwithstanding the farest and
most promising of youth OF what avail
the physicians counsel to rest up"
sleep in the open air force feed" upon
rich, nutritious diet and live a whole
some, natural life, to poor shop girl or
a mill operative, toiling u hours day
in vitated, lint-laden, super-saturated
atmosphere, from which the greater por-
ton of oxygen has long since been ex-
tracted and replaced by carbon dioxide?
What sardonic cruelty (devilishly
contrived as any in the pages of Greek
mythology or Dantes Inferno) to show
this doomed victim the beautiful vista of
life, hope, health, happiness, a continued
loving sojourn among the quick, and
then dash the cup to the ground, shat
tered in a thousand fragments, and prof
fer him instead the bitterness, futility
and hopelessness of his lot under Econ
omis Determinism
For his fate is predetermined by his
econmic condition. If he is able to carry
out the rules of health laid down for his
guidance, to play the game fairly and
squarely with unstacked cards, the
chances are extremely favorable for
complete recovery and restoration to
useful productive capacity"
DR.. Bowers prescribes good food,
proper clothing sanitary homes, short
hours, high wages, compensation for in
jured workmen, and the substitution of
the Golden Rule" for the Rule of
Gold" His prescription and that of the
unions are identical.

COAL FAMINE IN CANADA.

That the union miners in the North
west are still conducting their fight in
an effective manner is assured. Fuel,
an authority on coal mining, has this to
say: THE coal famine in Alberta is
still acute, The operators are hundreds
of thousands of tons behind in orders.
Four small mines, Hillcrest, Mcneil,
Canmore and Royal Colleries at Leth-
bridge, have started up with small gangs
at work in each. Dozens of cots are ar
irving at various collieries to accommo-
date strikebreakers and it looks as if
the operators are determined in their eff
forts to start up again
Advices from the strike district say
that the famine is likely to become more
intense If a settlement is not reached
between the strikers and the operators.
That the miners have the situation well
in hand and are prepared for emer-
gencies.
