AN ACCOUNTING SHOULD BE COMPELLED

The Stockton Mail advises the labor unions to
demand complete accounting of the money
trbuted for the defense of the Mcnamara broth
ers Every dollar contributed should be checked
up, says the Mail, and the who had the han
ding of it required to show what was done with
it. Well why not? If the money was honestly
expended for legitimate purposes why should
there be any objection to an accounting Why
are the men through whose hands this money
passed so reluctant to show what they did with
it! Our Stockton contemporary intimates that
some of it stuck to the fingers of the men who
have been living in idleness and luxury at the
expense of honest workingmen who actually toll
The suspicion is justified by the circumstances,
The obstinate concealment of the details of eX-
pendture is alone suspicious. Somewhere along
the line there is a rotten place in the business,
and the sooner the real workingmen locate it
the better They can do themselves and union
labor no better service than to find .Ou precisely
what became of the money. If they have been
putting up for lot of grating rogues the sooner
they find it out the better for the cause of labor
and the honest administration of the law

RIGHTS VERSUS CUSTOMS.

,ouino, aro the possibilities Swallowed by the
revelation of the readiness oil women IN the state
of Washington to avail themselves OF the tradl-
tonal I'M heretofore largely neglected right" of
nronosal in leap year. 1t would seem that the
recent noitical enfranchisement of women in the
nortberi coast state has given them taste for
tho nratcice Of rights even TO the extent Of eX-
p,.rilnerlting with leap year privilege Shou
Inc tendency become general in that state. and
not elsewhere, Washington will be one of the
most interesting regions in the world next year
Theoretically, the adoption of the custom will
but place women and men on equal basis, but
the really distressful thing about theories, bea
ing upon all sorts of things is that the harsh
and unllind facts of life and nature are wont to
interfere with the application
Past customs act upon present form OF exist
ence and conduct and conditions are not readily
changed in any specified desired fashion by the
amendment of statutes and constitutions, nor even
by popular edict AS this truth applies IN pcI-
zeal and industrial affairs, as it applied through
all biological processes, must it apply also TO
any attempt to put into general practice the leap
year tradition.
BY slow stages of psychological development,
through the years since first, in civilized coun-
tries woman was given in some degree the mega
| tive right in choosing her mate she has developed
I A generally graceful and kindly manner OF assur-
inc an undesired sutton of her eternal sisterly af
lection incidentally she has acquired certain
ability in the employment of positive, though IN
direct methods of choosing her mate.
To all Of this, through all the years, man has
adjusted his nature.
And now
Imagine the average young man, ardentlI
sought in marriage by some spnsler accustome
to having men obey her slightest request as a
matter of course and common courtesy, trying 70
assure his sutton that he will be brother to her
for life! Imagine him murmuring kindly that he
never dreamed-that he is 50 sorry--that it is
impossible that they ever should be more to each
other than friends.
All Of which, verify, would be entirely in con
formity with the recognized rights of women, 10
these many years; but would woman Selling Tho

THE CHINESE SITUATION.

If left alone China is probably able to work
out her own salvation by establishing republican
form of government; but outside interference is
now threatened which may complicate the sltua-
ton very seriously The latest reports state that
Mongolia and Chinese Turkestan TO declare
their independence, and in this the hand Of Russia
is readily recognized. Russia has already alb
sorbed all the Independent countries OF Central
Asia and nothing could prevent her from includ
ing this Chinese territory with the rest if on,
it becomes nominay Independent and therefor
not included in treaties or international agree
ments to maintain the integrity of China.
This would bring Russia and Japan face to
face along boundary line, which would not
make for lasting peace between them Russian
methods of pacifying conquered territories belong
to the days Of Tamerlane and other bloodthrstl
eenquerors who came out from the heart OF Asia,
and Whose blood Russia has inherited and shows
today in Persia. Sooner or later there would be
cause for war aud China would always be in
danger
As the United States is committed in various
ways to maintain the integrity of Chinese te.
tory this latest move the part of Russia will
cause great anxiety in Washington, for Russia
will not listen to reason when spoken by the
president of this country. OF course, the United
States will not and cannot do anything to keep
these provinces from throwing off their allegiance
to China but there are few who believe that this
alleged move for independence is anything more
than Russian rllse. As yet no absolute con
frmation of the report has been received.
Freed from Manchu rule and influenced by the
example Of Japan, China may wake up in fash
ION that will give Russia greater surprise thar
she received that famous morning in the Yellow
Sea. If China becomes great military power
and threatens the supremacy of the Caucasian
races in Asia some day in the future, it will BE-
another illustration of the old proverb about let
ting sleeping dogs lie
Both China and Japan lay asleep until tn,
the middle OF the last century They asked only
TO be let alone. Their peoples did not go outsd,
their own boundaries except to trade and they
excluded foreigners from their territories excep
at specified trading posts on their coasts The
soldiers were armed with bows and arrows anC
they were powerless to attack others Then thu
United States woke up Japan, and England anC
France committed Of the foulest crimes il
history by rammng opium down Chinese throat
at the lannon's mouth The sleepers stirred il
their slrmbers. The Chinese came in foreign ship
to California and the Japanese armed themselve
with modern weapons Now the white race face
the yellow peril in America and Australia an,
Japan adds her name to the list of the world
greatest military powers White men starte,

REYNOLDS VIEW OF 1T.

.London-Reynolds' newspaper. one of
the most substantial and accurate publ
cations in England, has this to say anent
the labor situation: The new year has
opened with a general unrest in the
labor world. and the issues at stake are
of national importance. Apart from a
number of minor trade troubles there
is the great lockout in the cotton trade.
This involves the question of non-union
labor. 1t seems outrageous that work
ers who do not share the cost of self
protection should have the impudence to
work side by side with those who levy
themselves to maintain a living wage.
control the hours of work and abolish
sweating. Yet we find this state of
things not only in the cotton industry.
but also amongst miners and in other
trades. Non-unionists gain all the ad-
vantages won by organized workers, yet
it does not cost them a single penny.
The trade unionist, has, however, come
to the conclusion that this is an impossi-
BILE state of affairs. 1t must be stopped
and the present struggle will clear the
air"

WARNING TO UNIONS.

Misunderstanding the past year a
number of items have appeared in the
Weekly News Letter recOunting in
stances where labor unions have been
imposed upon by unscrupulous men
gaining Endorsements for advertising
schemes, and in turn defrauding adver-
tisers by securing payment in advance
and then leaving the scene of their oper-
ations without carrying out their con-
tracts. A letter has just been received
from Savannah, Ga, in which it is re-
lated that an individual secured the in
dorsement from a local union to carry
on an advertising scheme. The plan in
cluded cut of the union labels, around
which space was to be sold to friendly
business men to display their ads. The
advertisements were solicited, the money
collected in advance, and then the fel-
low left the town without having the
printing done, thus swindling number
of business men. 1t is claimed that the
miscreant came from Memphis, Tenn.
Unions should be extremely careful in
giving Endorsements until they are fully
informed as to the character of the men
desiring them, and the purpose for which
these Endorsements are secured should
be closely scrutinized

o. A. Tveitmoe, who,
together with Anton Johannsen, organ
izer of the State Building Trades Coun-
Gil, has been indicted in connection with
allegations made of conspiracy, said:
There will be no plea of guilty, because
the men accused are not guilty, and they
refuse to serve as stepping stones either
for Mr.. Fredericks, who has his eye on
the governors chair. or for Mr.. Lawler's

DIRECT ELECTION OF SENATORS

Washington-It is quite likely that 4
compromise may be effected whereby
congress viii submit TO the people an
amendment to the federal constitution
providing for direct election of United
States senators by the people. Senator
Clark of wyoming. who heads the senate
conferees, has submitted to the mem
bers of the conference a compromise.
which is as follows: The senate of the
United States shall be composed of two
senators from each state, elected by the
people thereof. for six years, and each
senator shall have one vote. The elect

NO COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

Washington-Rev. Pereira-Mendez Of
New York, president of the union of
Orthodox Jewish Congregations of the
United States and Canada, recently
wrote to President Taft suggesting that
the time was ripe to commence agita-
tion for compulsory arbitration. The
American labor movement has expressed
itself as opposed to compulsory arbitra-
ton, and il is not likely that any change
will take place to modify its views. Presi-
dent Taft, in answer to the letter OF the
reverend gentleman. is reported to have
replied: Compulsory arbitration in in
dustrial controversies is one which would
have to be dealt with primarily by the
states rather than the federal govern
ment. The principal field in which the
federal government could act would be
that of controversies between railroads
and their employees, and step has al
ready been taken there by providing a
mechanism for voluntary arbitration. 1t
is doubtful whether any proposition for
compulsory arbitration of these disputes
would at this time meet with sufficient
favor to bring such procedure within the
realm of present possibilities"

for the codifcation and revision of the

a provision, which, il enacted into law,
will substitute power presses for the

which is being opposed by numerous Ia

that if power presses are substituted
