salary for the shortest possible days
work
When fighting for recognition of
their unions or for higher pay union
men confer and sign agreements with
their employers, thereby recognizing
them formally.
Work for All, No Employers.
Syndicates, on the other hand, wish
to secure employment for every hui
man being willing to earn livelihood.
Their primary aim is so to shorten
the working day so that there shall
not be any workers out of employ
ment. Secondly, regarding the en-
ployers as mere parasites, they aim at
driving them out by demanding a
steadily higher wage until the work
ers receive the full value of their
labor. They never confer with en-
ployers and never sign any agree
ments with them.
One labor union can only admit
men belonging to one craft. Locomo-
tive engineers, telegraph operators
and ticket agents may be working for
the same railroad, but cannot belong
to the same union.
Syndicates, on the contrary, bind all
workers in one solid union, divided up
for local convenience into groups of
more closely allied interests. Take,
for instance the employees of a steel
mill According to the union system
steel workers, machinists, truckmen,
stationary engineers, blacksmiths,
should belong to different groups. A
syndicate would admit every one en-
ployed in the mill, from the janitor to
the foreman, from the Office boy to
the stenographer.
Finally the labor unions have re-
duced to the strictest minimum the
number Of apprentices. Syndicalists
of France, Italy, England and Amer
lea agree on calling this a crime
against the rights of the individual.
AS Haywood put it:
see Evil of Trade Union Rules.
"The penitentiaries of this country
and of Europe are filed with young
boys whom unions have prevented
from learning an honest trade"
The antagonism between syndical-
lists and union laborers is well illus
trated by the fact that in Scranton.
Pa. union men have been helping the
police in breaking strike organized
by syndicalists.
It can easily be seen what tremen-
dous power syndicates may WELD ow.
ing to this system of organization.
Should only one class of employees,
say the spinners. walk out of wool
en- mill, production would be at a
standstill until the strike was over
| Whether the strike was won or lost
however, it would only take few
days to put the whole plant once more
| In good working order. On the other
hand, should the truckmen. watch
men, stenographers and bookkeepers
also strike in sympathy and stay out

NJ duced into the Industrial world
III vi by syndicalism. In the United
States most people made their
first acquaintance with it through the
strikes at Lawrence, Mass, and at
Paterson, N. ]. Even then they
learned little of it's principles. Yet
many students of the labor questions
believe that those principles will have
to be reckoned with more and more.
Therefore an account is given here
of syndicalism up to date.
In an address delivered before the
Sociological society in England a few
days ago A. ]. Balfour declared that
syndicalism has been brought into be-
ing by the apparent failure of the par
liamentary system.
TT is pathetic fact" he said, "but
many of the most earnest men of Eu-
rope regard the representative sys-
tenn as almost played out 1t Is pa
thetic when you think with what high
hopes each successive development of
the representative system has started
out"
Syndicalists have given up all hope
of attaining their ends through par
Vamentary or legislative. action and
look to other means for securing So
cial reforms
Direct action is the epitome of the
syndicalist platform: You want some
thing? II you are strong enough to
compel the people to give it to you,
take it. Syndicalists do not preach
plumber. neither do they say: If you
want something, ask for it. No. You
must demonstrate that unless a GER
tain thing you desire is given to you,
you are in position to destroy "pas-
sively'' property equal or superior in
value to that certain thing.
How the Idea Works Out.
Every striker knows that and the
idea is not original. What is original,
however, is the application of this
principle to every act of civic life.
Syndicalists are modern if anything.
They do not believe in a millennium
in which love and brotherhood will be
the only motives of human action. On
the other hand, they refuse to share

ilization and his hankering for a re-
turn to nature. They are practical
and tusinesslike. The past is dead
and "a future Is unknown. The i'm.
mediate needs of the present hour
are to them the sole object of interest
Consider now the application of the
syndicalist theory.
The primary aim of labor unions is
to have the work of the world done
by their members only; secondly
they are trying to keep out Of their
ranks as many worlingmen as posi-

The French and Italian syndicalists
are fighting militarism with tooth and
nail. for a standing army is an ever
present danger in case of strikes.
AS early as 1903 the government of
Holland broke general strike by the
use of the army to operate the rail-
roads. and the same thing was done in
Hungary in the following year. In

that the Hungarian government went

Meeca,s Polluted Wall.

a scientific analysis has been made
Of the Zem-Zem water from the sacred
well at Mecca, which. according TO the
Arabs, is the well that the angel show
ed to Hagar and whose water saved
the life Of Ishmael. After reading the
results OF the analysis one cannot won
der that pilgrims who drink the water
frequently are attacked by cholera.
The specimen examined contained six
ty-nine grains OF chlorine to the gallon.
Water which contains so little as nine
grains of chlorine to the gallon is ordi-
narily regarded as scarcely fit for hui
man consumption. Moreover, I'm the
case of the Zem-Zem well it is believed
the chlorine originates from the Gus
tom of pouring the water over the pill
grims and allowing it TO run back into
the well The sacred water was found
TO possess an extraordinary degree OF
hardness three times as great ms that
of average water 1t also held twenty
times as much ammonia compounds as
drinking water should contain.

Tho Process That Begins When the
Two Are Mixed.
1t Is not correct to say that salt dis
solves fee. since real solution only takes
place when solid. liquid or gas is
dissolved I'm liquid.
The true explanation of the fact that
ice melts when common salt is added
TO it depends upon the simple physical
principle that when n salt is dissolved
in water heat is absorbed and its tenn
perature is lowered. When salt and ice
are mixed together some of the salt
dissolves in the small amount OF wa
ter which is always present. the tenn
perature is thereby lowered. and new
freezing point Is established.
The remainder OF the fee, being at
temperature higher than this new
freezing point. slowly melts. and more
salt is dissolved until the solution is
saturated. The temperature can in this
way be lowered to % degrees c.. which
is the freezing point of definite com
pound of salt and water.
The salts dissolved I'm sea waters
serve very important purpose. rs II
requires a greater degree OF cold to
cause the formation of ice on them
than on fresh water.

WHEN BUYING STOCKS.
Do as the Successful Wall Street Spec
ulator Does.


If you want to speculate buy stocks

buy things offered by smooth tongued

guaranteed to have big advance.
The successful Wall street SPECTATOR
never tries to make money in these
sort of things. He buys stocks that
have passed muster and been listed on
the exchange. Before they can be list
ed the company must make report
that will justify listing. While this re-
port is not as complete as 1t should be.

It is just rs easy to buy listed stocks
as any other. Brokers of good stand
ing I'm the stock exchange are adyertis-
ing in reputable publications, and one
can always open up a correspondence
with a broker and have his questions
freely and fully answered. The broker
likes nothing better than to answer let
ters from customer or from pro
spective customer.
If any one is timid about dealing
with broker he can always deal
through his bank or get reference to
some broker from his banker.--Jasper,

SLEEP AND REST.
Every Organ of the Human Body Has
Its Periods Of Repose.

Every Organ of the Human Body Has
Its Periods Of Repose.
All the organs OF life rest in some
way or other. The heart has an inter
val Of rest between each combined act
Of contraction and expansion and the
beginning of a fresh act. Between
each expiration OF the lungs and the
succeeding inspiration there is a period
OF repose. Psychologists have calcu-
lated that the heart reposes during
about one-fourth of the time. Certain
Of the other organs suspend their ac-
tiyity in part during sleep.
Old Psychologists supposed that sleep
was caused by the pressure of the
blood on the brain. But modern physi-
ology, with tendency to regard the
brain as the origin OF all force and of
all functions of the body, inclines to
the view that sleep is caused by "A
withdrawal OF blood. from the brain.
AS rule, the larger the brain the
more sleep it requires. Webster went
to bed at 8 o'clock and rose at .. Gen
eral Grant used TO say during his cam
palgns, II can do nothing without nine
hours sleep"
A curious trait has marked men Of
large brain-that OF sleeping at will.
Bonaparte used to throw himself on
the ground and go to sleep within a
space Of two minutes. Pitt was a
sound sleeper and slept night after
night in the house OF commons while
his colleagues watched the debate and
he should speak.-New York Herald.
