cal shysters. Oh, for few st. Johns,

as if the life blood of the revolutions

voices had faded from the councils of
these miners.
''The Western Federation of Miners
has lost none of its real revolutionary
character on account of the st. Johns,
Heslewoods and Haywoods having
seats no longer in the councils of the
organization. Wfndbags are never
revolutionists. If Haywood, Hesle-
wood or st. John have ever won any,
thing for the labor movement, it is
somewhat strange that the Weaver has
failed to mention the achievements.
Real reEolutionists are not induIg-
ing in verbal fireworks. Revolution

there is danger. In times of compare

the horizon is dark with danger, the
revolutionist finds it convenient to

delegates in the late convention of
the Western Federation of Miners
were as radical as ever, but their
radicalism was based on reason. There

and being crazy. The majority 6r-tle

Most OF the problems relating to fin
ance and direction have in SO far as
they rest on purely industrial basis,
been solyed-that is to say, there are
highly evolved and efficient modes of
organizing and applying capital in in
dustrial processes, the necessary steps
being that of utilizing skilled men who
have the Immediate direction 70 the
business. There remains, however,
the problem of labor, still SO far from
adequate solution. It is q problem
partly economic and partly human. It
is obvious that on its economic side.
Sany change must meet the require
ments enforced by the competitive sys-
tenn. In other words. it must be on q
paying basis. It can not be expected
that in this field philanthropy win
bring about general and permanent
consequences. It Is indeed far from
evident that the plans Of betterment
which manufacturers have carried
through out Of the goodness of their
hearts have been successful.
There should be no hesitation in
acknowledging that the usual ''better-
ment" Is designedly or in effect a sop
thrown to the owrkers to hide that
percentage Of wages which they really
earn. but do not receive. The factory
village may be attractive, but labor in
the factory Is not. The rent of the
houses may be lower; but what of the
wages in the works? Then this hous-
ing ties the man to the job in a man
ner that reflects little credit on the
system. One comes to the realization
that when, q man gets away from his
work he belongs to himself, and is bet
ter left to himself The employer has
only to pay labor fairly and the labor

THE EXPLOITING OF CONNECTS

In recent issue of the Baltimore
Sun, whole page was devoted t.
the Jail Of that city, under the cap
ton OF .Baltimore's Hospitable JAIL
wherein was set forth the immense
faVors and advantages which follow
Incarceration in that benevolent in
stitution.
The story is interesting In many
ways, as it is illustrated profusely
and one part of the story is especially
interesting to the workers in the shirl
industry. because should they ever
face period ofidleness all that they
would have to do is to go to Baltimore
commit some Hetty crime, and they
can at once resume the making OF
shirts.
It should make no great difference
to them that they would not receive
as much for their labor as they would

State. and operated for the benefit Of
favored contractors under the humane
task system, as part of their reward
would come to them by being permit

1T, therefore. behooves the prison
ers to turn out as much as they pos
sibly can, and all day long in the shirt
shop the prisoners work with all the
speed Of which they are capable.
This applies to the men, as well as
the women, and shirt after shirt is
completed and carried away to be
sold, each counting so much for the
prisoner.
