LABOR IN BONDAGE
Steel Trust Workers No Better
Than Slaves.
THE UNIONS CRUSHED OUT.

Bio Corporation and Independents
Have Agreement to Repress Trade
ORGANIZATIONS Political Coercion
Also Practiced.
The New York World in a recent
article has the following to say con-
corning the attitude of the steel trust
toward its employees:
BY apitalization, financial jug
Cling and a misleading system Of ac-
counts the enormous profits of the
steel trust have been hidden from the
public eye, but the World has already
shown how the capital stock and
bonded debt of the Steel corporation, at
the time of its organization in 1901
exceeded its actual assets by more
than $7OO,000,000. In other words, its
capitalization was water to that ex-
tent. Leaving out Of account the hun
dreds of millions added to the steel
trusts assets by the absorption of T.
G. and |. and the $531 $4,000 written
off for depreciation and sinking fund
allowances in the last ten years, no
less than 1886, 170,521 Of the original
water has been eliminated and replaced
by actual tangible assets.
The World presents herewith the re-
suits of an investigation showing that
this modern miracle of changing water
into wine has been performed at the
expense of the steel workers by means
of labor policy which is fast bringing
about an industrial crisis. The Steel
corporation and the independents have
"gentlemen's agreement" as to wages
and labor conditions, the same as they
have in regard to selling prices, per-
centages of trade and pools.
The labor policy Of the Steel cor
poration-which has been extended to
all the big Independent mills-is to in
fexibly exclude the men from any
voice in the conditions Of their employ
ment. To more securely rivet this pol
icy of absolute control over the lives
of the men. repressive and coercive
measures have been introduced, spy
system is maintained and an unrelent-
ing censorship exercised which forbids
free speech, curtails civic rights and
stunts the growth of citizenship, espe-
cially among the underpaid foreign
element.
Organized labor has been entirely
driven out Cf every Dig steel mill in
the country Not only are the men for
hidden to organize, but they are not
even permitted to appoint committees
to present any grievances they may
have. If worker has anything to
say he is allowed to state his case as
an individual, but to serve on a COM
mittee of employees or to sign petit
ton is in many plants punished by dis
missal
The United States Steel corporation
not only pursues this policy of repres-
sion. but actually coerces its employees
and even its officials into supporting
its political policies and insuring its
control of every borough and town
where its works are located.
The great bulk of the steel workers,
more than 60 per cent of the total
labor force of the United States Steel
corporation. are paid just enough to
enable the men to live without leopard

A Woman's Admonition to the Wives

You have untiringly cared for and
guarded your children up to the time
they enter the working world. Then
you relax vigil over them. Don't you
think you should understand the condi-
tons under which they must labor?
Knowing what your husbands union
has done for him and his fellow work
ers-given them better hours, better
pay and better working conditions
why is it you do not urge with all your
strength upon your son and daughter
the ACCESSIBILITY of joining a union as
soon as they enter the labor world?
OF course you do rather expect your
son will eventually join a union be-
cause he is in industry to stay, and in
order to earn the best wages and work
ing conditions, it is to his advantage to
belong to a union.
But what of your daughter? When

How do you figure this? Does it cost
you less to clothe and feed your daugh-

daughter so much stronger physically
that she is able to work ten to fifteen
hours for small pay, where your son
works only eight hours Of a member OF

that collective bargaining can procure?
Have you considered that your

Washington, D. c., Feb. 21.-
Farmers registered protests against
the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment in the hearing today before
the senate committee on finance.
Former Gov. NJ. ]. Bachelor, OF
New Hampshire, master Of the
National grange, made the opening
argument and announced that IL
the committee had time to hear,

masters of oranges of many states
as we'll as representatives of dairy,
horticulture and other associations
including the directors Of state ex-

The witnesses received valuable
assistance from Senators Hale,

deneed sympathy with their at
taeks upon the agreement and
aided them with questions SEN
ator Stone took the lead in cross
examination and as a result some
interesting coIloquies were heard.
In his opening statement MIR.
Bachelor said that 5000, 900 farm
ers were united in opposition to
the agreement and he said that he
voiced their protests against free
trade in farm products while pro-
lection was continued upon manu-
featured articles which the farm
ers are compelled to buy. ~

BIG RAID At
CASSELTON
States Attorney FowlerS wOOp-
ed Down Yesterday
TWO PIGGERS WERE NABBED
STATES ATTORNEY WAS ACCOM-
PANIED BY SHERIFF, AND UNs
DER STATUTES SET UP A tenn
PoRARY couRT-MANY PROM.
NENT CITIZENS sU5PoENAED.

A. w. Fowler, states attorney; Hem
~ T. Boyle, sheriff of Cass county, and
w. c. Green, reporter of the district
court swooped down upon the little
city of Casselton yesterday and created
a big stir. Before they returned the
sheriff had arrested George Howe and
o. g. Nelson for blind plugging, and had
subpoenaed a number of witnesses in
Guiding some Of the most prominent
residents of Casselton.
This morning Nelson appeared be-
fore Judge Hanson of the county court
and pleaded guilty to the charge OF
blind plugging and was sentenced to
ninety days in the county Jail and
fined 5000.
Howe appeared before Judge Miller
this afternoon, pleaded not guilty,
waived examination and was bound
over to the district court. He will be
tried at the next Term OF the court.
This Is not his first offense Of blind
plugging.
According to the prohibition laws OF
the state, the states attorney has the
power to go into any town and hold
a court of his own and demand immed-
late action from the witnesses that
are subpoenaed. Sheriff Boyle summon
ed fifteen witnesses in all to appear
before the states attorney yesterday,
and for a time affairs waxed warm.
All the evidence that was secured
was taken down as dispositions are taxi
en-. For time the court conducted by
Mr.. Fowler was doing a rushing bust
ness and witnesses were kept busy
answering to the questions fired at
them by the states attorney.
Nelson has for the last two years
operated pool room opposite the First
National bank at Casselton. His place
has been watched by interested par
ties who furnished the states attorney
with the information which led to the
action taken.
Howe has some nice, coy bachelor
quarters where 1t is alleged that he
operates. One OF the witnesses testi-
fed that he had drank at Howe's
rooms, but that he was drinking simply
as guest, and in no manner did he
purchase the drinks, nor so far as he
knew, did Howe operate drinking es-
tablishment.
1t is entirely probable that there will
be further action taken because of the
investigations which occurred at Cas-
selton yesterday. States Attorney
Fowler limited as much this morning.
The three officials returned home
this morning from Casselton, where
they worked yesterday, and with them
came Howe and Nelson. It is thought
that few OF the Casselton blind pig
gers got wind of the fact that the of
fcials were on their tracks, and made
a hurried getaway.
