Michigan Grange Matters.


The Michigan state grange has been
supporting many excellent measures
before the state legislature this year.
and the legislators have given a willing
ear to the grange requests. Ten OF the
thirty-two senators and thirty seven OF
the 100 representatives are members
Of the grange. which fact explains to a
considerable degree the favorable at
titude Of the legislature as whole to
the grange They have carried to q
successful issue amendments to the
state constitution providing for the ini-
tiative in statutes and amendments to
the constitution and have secured an
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing for the recall Of officials other than
judges. The grange also favored the
bill for the organization of associations
on the cooperative principle and one to
facilitate the shipment Of live stock
within the state. Cooperative work
among the oranges has been pushed
the past winter harder than ever, and
cooperative selling associations are be-
ing organized and placed under the
supervision and direction Of an expert.

igan is about 10000

lazy Husbands

An excellent measure. says the
Portland Oregonian. is that IN
Washington which provides compul-
sorry labor for lazy husbands. to-
oether with a rate of compensation
for their families. The law has
heen having something of a run
since its installation, which shows
that it meets need.
Treble are the benefits derived.
The INDECENT family gets wages
that otherwise would not be earaed,
the state gets the benefit OF labor
that otherwise would not be per-
formed the victim of Incidence gets
forced out of the rut of inactivity
into which he has fallen.
Idleness very often goes hand IN
hand with viciousncss. although
there is a large class of men which
falls Into idle ways through mere
weakness. shiftlessness and lack OF
energy. Inherent laZiness masters
them. 1t becomes stronger than
they, overshadowing even pride,
shame sense of duty to self and
family and all other normal sentl-
ments.
Severa, months of enforced labor
form in them a new habit. new
outlook on life. Work rather than
laziness. is established as habit.
Flabby muscles become hardened,
the blood flows more freely in the
veins. If drunkenness has been the
underlying cause six months or
year of clean living with daily toll
added does much for the victim.
Many will return to the old ways,
of course, where there is no inner
ent or latent force of character to
build upon. But then they can be
given an additional dose of enforced
activity. Men should be compelled
to support their families by their
own efforts, whether those efforts
are voluntary or stimulated by pro-
cess of law.

that each contestant shall submit with

Char Factory Readers.

Workers in Havana cigar factories
are aristocrats of labor. Without a
mold or binder or any pattern to
follow, each hand turns out fifty,
seventy-fve or 100 cigars a day, all
identical in shape, size and weight.
Working by the piece and highly
paid, the cigarmaker insists on be-
ing amused. His amusement takes
the form of being read to aloud. At
every cigar factory in Havana a
reader, engaged and paid by the
hands themselves, occupies a pulpit
in the center of the room for some
hours every day, RECALLING his audi
ence with newspapers and novels.
Some of these readers receive as
much as $50 a week. - Chicago

10000 STEEL MEN
ORDERED TO STRIKE

Pittsburg.-War was declared here
on Monday by the American Feder-
alton of Labor on the United States
Steel Corporation. Following a mass
meeting of the 1000 strikers from
the Rankin and Braddock wire mills
Frank L. Morrison, Secretary of the
federation, issued a call for a gen.
eral strike in all the Steel Corpora
tion's mills in the Pittsburg district.
If the call is needed 10000 men will
walk out. The conflict here, Morri-
son said, was the opening gun in the
great tight organized labor would
wage on the corporation.
Hostilities outlined in a statement
last October by Samuel Gompers,
Morrison asserted, would begin now
in all the plants owned by the Steel
Corporation. He predicted the fight
would involve Chicago, Gary, Ind; /;
Cleveland, Buffalo, Pueblo, COL, and,
in fact every place in which the cor
poration had a mill. In urging the
men to come out Morrison said:
This is the first step in our big
fight for recognition by the Steel
Trust. President Gompers and 1
discussed this affair earnestly.
can pledge to the steel workers in
the Pittsburg district that a Nation
wide contribution will be taken up
to provide strike fund large
enough to enable us to continue the
strike here for a year. The Steel
Trust is ready to spend millions to
prevent the unionizing of its mills,
and the Federation of Labor will
spend millions to win it's fight for
the betterment of working condi-
tions."
An effort was made by the strikers
to get a conference with the officials
of the company. 1t failed. General
Manager Jewett of the American
Steel and Wire Company said
Nothing new to add to our state
ment of last night. We are standing
pat. There won't be any recognition
of the union. The mills will be open
and we will take back any men who
apply as individuals. But we won't
discuss wage scales or other condi-
tions. If the men want TO work for
us, they can have their jobs. If they
want to follow the labor agitators
they can do that. Well run the
mills, no matter what course the
strikers take"

ner in the generals house. The Incl
dent was dramatic in the extreme. It
was more of a social affair than a
physical expression by the state of its
power against crippled old veteran.
1t was in this hour OF need that
many personal friends and many prom
came to the front with offers of fnan-
cial aid. All expressed their patriotic
purpose of merely helping their coun-
tryman to repay in pitifully small
way the incalculable service rendered
by the general for his country. 1t
was proposed to raise and repay the
$4,000 by popular subscription.
Most notable among those who came
to the aid of the general was Mrs.
Helen D. Longstreet, widow of the
general who led the attack against Ma
jor General Sickles and was driven
back in the famous Pennsylvania con-
f1ict.
Through Mrs. Longstreet it was
made possible that the beaten foes of
the troubled general might now come
to his aid.
This is the letter General Sickles re-
ceived from Mrs Longstreet:

against Miss Eleanor Earl Wilmerding,
the generals housekeeper. When Mrs.
Sickles, who was the first one looked
upon as the one to save the general,
expressed her willingness again to
solve his trouble she made the condi-
tion that Miss Wilmerding must leave
the generals house. She declared she
would sell her jewels and beggar her.

would not do that to provide the COM
fort of the woman she declared was
her husbands undoing.
General Sickles received this ulti-
matum from the lips Of his son and
thought 1t over for day. Then he de-
cided to accept the charity of his old
foes rather than submit. He shut the
doors of his house against his wife
and son. 1t was final display of the

pride.
