WASHINGTON, June 12.--Presi-

operation for nastoiditis. He has
been i'll nearly three months, and
owing to his general physical condi-
ton the physicians deemed it not adj
visable to- carry out the usual treat
ment-that Of performing an opera
tion--but prescribed a treatment to
keep the affection in check and build
up his general health. President
Gompers responded to this treatment
in such a satisfactory manner that it
was decided to perform the operation,
believing that he could Withstand the
shock. .-...-.. Il, -. s.. 49,.

GOO.Goo's APPEAL TO PREJU
DICE. -

THE so-called good government
league of Illinois is addressing a
-plalntive message to the farmers
against the initiative and referen-
dunn, declaring that. it means single
tax. The good government league IS
very anxious that it should be per-
mitted to govern the people instead Of
letting them govern themselves. They
are SO afraid the people will make a
mistake If they have any power. It
is certainly kind on the part Of the
1900 COOS :.5.$s s=*f
Appeal to Reason.
In telling farmers Of the possibility
Of stngle tax through the Initiative and
Referendum this league Of pure and
holes appeals to an ignorant preju-
dice. Either directly or through In
Terence it conveys to farmers the cid
falsehood that the single tax will
burden them when as q matter OF fact
it Will relieve them Of heavy hnrdens.
a half truth has long been known
to be the worst form Of. a lie and this
e the kind Of deception now being
practiced by. this coed government
league on the farmers Of Illinois. The
main difference between It and an
ordinary POLITICAL gang IS that the
gans does not pretend ta be pure and
holy, Il. ~ 81 55#

THE MEANING OF THE OPEN SHOP.

If those justice-ovng citizens who not direct
employers of labor, but who think they sympathze with
the Kbytes and others of his class in their demand for
the "open shop would study the question for five min
utes, they might withdraw their sympathy The question
is simple and not hard to anayze If approaches
it from the proper side
In the first place it is agreed by all fair-mnded
that the workingmen have the right, legally and
upon moral grounds to organize Now, the closed shop
is only another for the union shop AS matter Of
fact there is such thing 'closed shop All union
shops are open" to workmen who subscribe to union
principles
If unions have the right to exist they have the right
to prescribe conditions under which they will work COL
ectvey just the members of the unions have the right
to do individually. Where of the conditions pre-
scrbed is that only members of unions shall employed
to admit n-unon men to such employment would be
only compromising with union principles and policies
but would be detrimental to the continuance of
of unionsm.
So really the socalled "open shop is shop in which
the union not recognized by the employer and the
union might just we'll not exist at all, in far
that shop is concerned.
When you have fully absorbed that thought you will
have taken good, strong draught of "the milk the
cocoanut you will realize that the Kirbyes do not
want what reader believe is open shop" but
out-andou nonunion shop They want to drive out and
destroy unionism because it is thing that the
greedy boss treat his employees fairly and decently
But, you say, those bosses willing to employ
union we'll non-unon men; they object only to
being compelled to employ union exclusively"
That sounds WE'LL when taken alone; but it doesn't
harmonic with what you have already recognized as
truth Remember labor has the right to do collectively
what each individual members has the right to do.
member after half century of hard struggling unionism
has reached it's present position and that the conditions
of labor have been Intellectually benefited sacrifices
and hardships endured by the pioneers of unonism

kept down by the unions and that the
greatly benefited thereby though they pay nothing in
service support these improved conditions

other conditions prescribed by their respective
If nonunion receiving the they recev-
ing those things to which they have right If they
working under conditions less favorable than their
union shopmates they must certainly, in time

justice to themselves approaching what the has
done for them, consent to work with who allow
themselves to be used club to destroy unionism?

Many employers prone to tell that labor
union has not the right to specify the wage which
should receive for his toll They are free to admit
in instances, that the most competent should
be paid according to the union SCALE but the other
hand they invariably contend that the medocrial
ability should be left the mercy benevolent
discrimination.
Our to this sort of logic is that labor union
sets the minimum wage, and not the maximum. This
demand is based the amount of money necessary to
insure living. and not bare existence We have no
objection to offer should employer desire to pay an
empoye than the union rate, but insist that
he shall not pay wage below this rate No employer
is compelled to engage the services of who is
incapable of doing his allotted work, and is the
capable man who gets steady employment when his
skillfu brother is shifting about from pillar post
Indeed, 1t is the employer himself who is generally
responsible for the influx of unsked labor into any
particular trade and this is invariably fostered by the
desire to pay cheap wages. All employers responsible
for the making of inferior mechanics should be COM
PEELED to for their poor creations the blame
upon themselves
Every employer knows full we'll that good mechanic
is seldom found outside the ranks of
He also knows that good have grit brain, muscle
and backbone. Every who is worthy of the name
joins union of his trade craft if the opportunity
fpresents itself 1t naturally follows therefore, that
radesunionism, in brief is synonymous with ability
manhood good workmanship and independence.

Will Prevent Hounding.
/ This will enable the witnesses for
the miners to 90 on the stand and
give their testimony without having
been previously bounded and intimi-
dated by the subsidized riff-raff Of
the coal barons. It is not believed
that the senate subcommittee will re-
main in West Virginia longer than is
absolutely necessary, but that it will
work fast once it gets started.
The big fight on the part Of the rep
resentatives Of the miners unions will
be to get the pick Of the West Vir-
GINA coal kings on the witness stand
to face the crossAre Of questions that
it is planned to turn upon them. This
is something they were permitted to
escape as result of the munificence
Of the Glasscock commission.
Subpoenas will also bring prominent
members OF both the Glasscock and
Hatfield administrations before the
senate subcommittee and every effort

hand the great mass Of the voters, the
workers, know Chiffon too we'll to be
misled by anything that he may say.
They also know that after this United

puppets can. not longer be sent to
Washington by the mere purchase Of

The kindly manner In which the in
terests treat their pet representatives
is divulged in the confession Of the
other United States senator from West
Virginia, Nathan Colt, tried and found
true, who told the senate lobby-hunt-
ing committee that he had q yearly in

added to another yearly income of
