Much Interest Being Taken in the Probable Lineup
 at Chicago
MANY ARE STUDYING
 MATTER SERIOUSLY
Ne One Yet Knows Just What Sena- tors and Representative Will Lineup With the Pro-
 gressives for 1916
B, c. E. sTEMARr

Washington, November 2S-tSpeclal.) )- The call for the third party conference to be held in Chicago December 10 and Il is expected to call many leaders of the new organization to that city and the bull moose crowd fondly expect also to see many of the big guns in the republican party slipping aboard their band wagon
 While it is not yet too late, it is consid- cred the eleventh hour for those who wish to shine in American politics, and who have no craving to shine with the democrats, to make their decision, either to go over to the bull moose, or to fling their fortunes and their prospects again with the old organization, the g. O. D. Just how many senators and representa- tives will attend is q matter of much speculation at present. Not many mem bers of the national legislature joined the progressive party during the recent cam paign. but the results of the balloting three weeks ago, it is said, have put some of them to thinking very profoundly and it is now a question of Button, button, who has the button?"
 Dixon and Poindexter
 Senators Dixon of Montana and Poindex- ter of Washington are the only members of the upper house of Congress to make positive statements of their intention to stand by the progressive party. MT. Dixon was Colonel Roosevelt's campaign man ager and Mr. Poindexter represents state which elected two progressives as representatives at large. Other "insur- .,an4,. ,ap,,hlfea,, eana+orS to,5a mt ca faf declared themselves out of the republican party and into the progressive party. Sen ator Clapp of Minnesota has been expect ed to join it, but the fact that Senator Nelson running as a regular republican was reelected in Minnesota and that a solid republican delegation was sent from the state to the House in the recent cleo tion, it is believed that Senator Clapp will pause and reflect while the pausing and rehecting is good. before throwing over his aneganoe to the republican party.
 Senator Bristow is another recruit whom the progressives have been counting. on, and it would not occasion surprise if the senator decided to cast his lot with them But at the same time in his state of Kan sas he saw such regular republicans as Phil Campbell and D. R. Anthony re-elect- ed to Congress and witnessed the defeat of the progressive party candidates in the state for the Senate and the House. Sen ator Bristow, therefore, is also wrapped in a deep brown study from which he may not appear in time to join the advance guard of the faithful in Chicago. Senator Works, a pronounced progressive repub- lean. is known not to be in sympathy with Roosevelt or the third party movement, and he is expected to hold firm 10 the old reliable.

A communication was read from the

on the Unfair List. The request was
concurred in. The communication, which
is self Explanatory, is as follows:
Seattle, Wash, Dec. 5, 1911.
"To the Members of Organized Labor:
Greetings Hope Lodge No, 70, l. A.
of NJ, desire to call your attention to
the fact that they have placed the Mel
son Compression Grease Cup on the I'm
fair List at their regular meeting, No
vember "a, 1911, and have asked the
Central Labor Council of Seattle and vi
cinity to take the same action. The
action is now pending with this body.
Representatives of this organization
have had several meetings with Mr.. j.
NJ. Frye, who is selling the grease cups
in the state of Washington, and when
he was first approached, was very will
ING to agree that they be made in fair
shops, but after having discussed the
matter with some of the members of
the Metal Trades association he changed
his decision in that respect, and would
only agree ohave them made in a fair
shop where it was absolutely necessary.
This the machinists of No. 70 would not
agree to.
This company owns a shop and are
manufacturing grease cups in Los Ange-
les under unfair conditions, and if there
was any standard size so that they
could be got out to fit all wagons, there
is no doubt all the manufacturing would
be done at that point, but as it is, their
work is done at local points. The North
western Iron works has been doing the
work in Seattle for Mr.. Frye. This firm
has been on the Unfair List in the city
of Seattle for the past eighteen months.
This grease cup is made to fit all wagons
and vehicles, and organized workers can
be of great assistance to us-more espe-
cially the teamsters' organization-as
any new appliance on wagons depends
on its recommendation, to a great ex-
tent, to the man driving the wagon

LOT OF THE W0RKlNGMAN.
Not Until Recent Years Did He Receive
Consideration.

COnSideratlon,
1t was on May 4. 1860. that the Rev.
Henry Solly of Lancaster. England or
ganized the Workingmen's Mutual I'm
provement and Recreation society, the
first of the now numerous institutions
for the mental and social uplift of the
toiling millions.
From the dawn of history down to
the middle of the nineteenth century
the lot of the workingman was most
dismal one in pretty nearly all lands of
the earth. Herodotus tells of the slaves
who built the pyramids. of the cruel
taskmasters, the terrible strainiDS and
struggling, the degradation of the toll
ers, the whole making u picture that
can never be forgotten by those who
have once had their attention called
to it. and 1t is not too much to say that
the spirit of the Egyptian taskmasters
prevailed, to a considerable extent at
least, as late certainly as the time Of
the French revolution.
The workngman was simply a no.
body. If he was permitted to toll and
by his toll TO get Il fairly decent ami
NAL suStenance-a p,enty of coarse fare
and a pile of straw to sleep on at
night-he had no right to look for
anything further.

work of the world might desire to bet
ter themselves socially, might have q
wish to hear music and look at pic
lures and become acquainted with the

whose names they had in one way or
another heard of. was perfectly ridicu-
ous. The workingman needed only
strong muscles and stiff backbone.
| He had no sort of use for mental cul-
ture or fer social aspirations, for
knowledge so materially helps along.
Labor was degraded and degrading
| Only the gentleman was respectable.
and the gentleman was the man who
did not have to work. Such was the
absurd opinion that prevailed from
the time of Aristotle and earlier away
down into modern time.

MAINTENANCE OF WAGES.

The substitution of female la
Dor In the work of coremaking
in the foundries Of Massachu-
sets and elsewhere is receiving
much attention at this time. the
objection being based very large
ly upon the moral or sentimental
grounds that those engaged In
such work are scantily clothed
or that the work is too severe
for women to perform. We may
grant that both of these reasons
are perfectly sound, but there is
another reason that is not given
much prominence, and that Is
that these women are introduced
at eight or nine dollars per week
to displace the male coremakers
that formerly received from So
to $3.50 per day. The mainte-
nance of the wages is fully as
important as the maintenance OF
health or morals. because both
health and morals must give
way under the pressure of a
wage rate that is not self sus
tanning.
