it, to the end that the general govern
ment may not be leagued with the op-
pressor and share the condemnation
which justly falls upon him; we would
request that the Secretary of Labor use
his good office to right these wrongs,
and would further request the Executive
Board of the Western Federation of
Miners to supplement these resolutions
by such statements as the facts justify
and use every effort to raise the stand
ard of the tunnel workers."
President Wood Makes Address.
President r. T. Wood of the Missouri
State Federation of Labor attended the
convention and delivered an address at
the morning session last Saturday. He
urged that the Western Federation take
up the work of organizing the $4,000
zinc miners in the Joplin district, and
pledged support of the trade unionists
of the state to assist. "The Missouri
State Federation now has a militant
membership of over 5O,OOO,' said Wood,
"and We are especially anxious to assist
the Western Federation in reclaiming
the Joplin district, which for years has
been a recruiting point for strikebreak-
ers in all mine troubles throughout the
country" President Wood expressed the
belief that the Joplin miners are now
anxious for the opportunity of joining
the organized labor movement.

METAL STRIKE SETTLED AT
INDIAN MOTORCYCLEWOR
STATEMENT GIVEN OUT SAYS
BOTH SIDES SATISFIED.
Men Quit Work Last January in Hendee
Factory to Resist Cut in Wages of
s1.1o Per Day for Metal Workers.

III
The metal polishers' strike against the
Hendee Manufacturing Company at
Springfield, Mass, makers of the Indian
motorcycle, is settled and the strikers
returned st. work Monday. The men
were forced on strike January last
because of wage reductions which in
some cases, they declared, amounted to
sl.lO a day.
Dissatisfaction with working condi-
tions in the shops was factor in caus-
ing the walkout.
Details of the terms of the settlement
are lacking, but it is known that both
sides made concessions. The strikers and
the company agreed to submit the fol-
lowing formal statement to the press:
''The controversy existing between the
Hendee Manufacturing Company and its
striking employees has been satisfactor-
lily adjusted.
'The men and the company have both
made concessions which have resulted in
a very satisfactory settlement of the ex-
isting difficulties"
Originally about 100 men were affect
ed by the strike. These were members
of the Metal Polishers, Buffers. Platers,
Brass and Silver Workers Union of
North America, which, together with the
general trade union movement, gave the
strikers much assistance. The settle
ment reached with the company not only
includes the metal polishers, but differ
ences with the Building Trades Council
are adjusted, and dispute with the
machinists will probably be settled.

At Last Mill Owners Openly
Oppose Freeing Child Slaues

The gentlemen who have been waxing
fat and rich on labor of children in
Georgia are finally showing themselves
in their true colors.
For years they have been posing as
the friends of the poor, the guardians
of children, the great uplifters.
For years this bill has failed to pass.
The mill owners know why. In the
meantime the men who employ child
labor have waxed richer and fatter and
the children whose labor increased their
riches and fatness have become poorer,
more illiterate and weaker in mind and
body.
And now a bill has been prepared
which is identical with the laws in force
in other Southern states. 1t has been
prepared with great care. Its passage
will mean that Georgia will no longer
be disgraced by the worst child labor
law in the Union.
The Legislature sees the fairness in
this new bill and the mill owners see
that there are no jo<ers in it.
The mill owners. begin to rally their
forces. They prepare collection of
jokers. They call it bill and try to
have it substituted for the bill of no
jokers which Assemblymen Sheppard is
fighting for.
'Let us look out for the poor little
children" they say. 1--WE have done it
so well in the past. We will do it bet
ter in the future"
Their record is an excellent one !:
George stands at the foot of the list
of states in the matter of child labor.

Evolution of the Daily Newspaper

The newspapers of today differ from
those of 80 years ago chiefly in Size and
quality; they are bigger and better.
Then the New York Sun was four pages.
the Times, Tribune, Herald and World
were eight pages. It was impossible to
make them larger except by printing
supplements hours in advance of the
regular edition. Today the managing
editor may decide Is minutes before 60
ing to press what size to make the news.
paper-up to 30 pages or 80. This very
great advantage is made possible, Of
course, because of the marvellous i'm
provements in the printing press.
The newspapers are better because we
may give more space to topics that de-
serve expansion. For years the Sun
was compelled to present the days news
in about ten columns, the other news
papers in Is or 20, whereas nowadays
we give so columns to the Titanic dis

If this is true a great many children

their bill of jokers substituted for the

These amendments will contain all the
jokers necessary for them to continue to
collect dividends from child labor and
to wax fatter and richer while the mill

tighter than ever to their looms.
Along the road of dividends the child
of the factories and the mills leads the
exploiter of child labor.
At the end of the road the child drops
into the grave worn out. And the en-
ployer drops into his automobile or his
comfortable yacht. How long will "civ-

FATHER WAS IN BAD CONDITION.

On pleasant Saturday evening a
young man and his doting father were
seated in well-known cafe. The old boy
was warning his successor against the
evils of intemperance.
"Never drink too much, my son. A
gentleman stops when he has had
enough. To be drunk is disgrace"
'Yes, dad; but how can I tell when
have had enough or when I am
drunk?"
The old man pointed with his finger.
"Do you see those two men sitting in
the corner? If you could see four men
there you would be, without doubt, in

"Yes, dad" came the blow that nearly
killed father, "but there is only one man

FRESH MILITARY SCANDAL
DEVELOPS IN STATE GUARD
OFFICERS TO SUE FOR BOARD
BILLS AT DENVER HOTELS.
verdicts of Courtmartial Being Held Up
by Chase and Ammons While Men
Indicted Remain in States Pay.

Another scandal threatens the Colo
RADIO National Guard. If present Pur-
pose is realized a mandamus action will
be brought in the District Court to COM
pei General Chase to approve and the
state to pay officers and men to the
number of about % full pay and board
from the time the military courtmartiai
was convened at the Golden rifle range
to thee present time.
The theory of those starting the ac-
ton is that having been summoned as
defendants or witnesses in the court
martial they are entitled to full pay and
what is known in the army as Com
mutation of rations," which, for a num-
ber of officers, means a board bill at
the expense of the state at the Albany
hotel.
The officers who have been living at
the hotel include Lieut.. X. Z. Linder-
felt. Lieutenant Benedict, Lieut.. Gerry
S. Lawrence, Lieut.. Edward Welch, Cap
tain Hawkesworth and others. Some OF
the enlisted men have been living at
state expense at less pretentious hotels.
The action in the District Court, it is
said, will be initiated by Welch,
Hawkesworth and Lawrence.
If their contention is sustained it will
mean an expense to the state for the
cOurtmartlal OIL an amount estimated W
be about $4,000, of which amount about
$500 was expended for making the
transcript of the record, about 10000
typewritten pages.
And the findings of the courtmartial
never have been approved by General
Chase and have not been reviewed by
the attorney general or the governor.
The report persists that the findings
never will be made public. General
Chase, it is said, is not satisfied that the
proceedings were legally conducted and
Governor Ammons is said to be dissatis-
fled with the findings.
From an unofficial but reliable source
the information has developed that of
the % officers and men tried only one
was found guilty, Lieutenant Linder-
felt, who was given the equivalent of a
light slap on the wrist in that he was
reduced five files in rank. Linderfelt
was convicted, it is said, for striking
Louis Tikas, afterwards killed, under,
however, severe provocation."
The courtmartial was instituted to
make a formal inquiry into the battle
at Ludlow April 20.

the amassing of big fortunes property
for power has come to mean not only
power over material things but power
over the lives of people. 1t means power
to control where men, women and chill
dren shall live, how they shall live and
where and under what conditions they
shall work. 1t means power to limit op-
portunities for development and for ac-
tivity; power over all the details of
daily life and over the realization Of
aspirations for the future.
Power of that sort implies such grave
responsibilities and duties that it can
not be exercised for the benefit of the
owner alone, but must take into consid-
Grafton social welfare. In fact no one
man or few men can safely be trusted
with so much power. Those who exer.
else power must be made responsible.
In political Affairs We have found it nee.
essary to abolish autocratic power and
to make all agents responsible. lire.
sponsible power in industrial affairs
may be Just as deadly to individual ini-
tiative and progress as it was in politi.
cal.
The working people belong for the
most part either to the class which owns
no property or to theose who possess
property for use only. But they have
worked out method for protecting
themselves and maintaining their rights
as human beings even against those who
possess incalculable power through their
great property possessions. By organi-
zation the workers who possess no prop
erty have succeeded in making employ
ers realize the duty that accompanies
property.
Organization gives to the workers a
sense of safety and stability and en-
ables them to establish standards OF
Justice. 1t is means by which the
masses have made irresponsible wealth
recognize the rights of other individuals
in society and conform to its duties. Or
ganization of the workers has been made
imperative by the concentration Of prop
erty in the hands of a small percentage
of the citizenship. For this reason men
of property whose purpose is exploita-
tion of workers and all the other
agents of production have made, unre-
mitting warfare upon labor organiza-
tions.
The mine operators in the three states
in which civil war has been waged dur
ing the past year made unreasoning op-
position to dealing with workers in their
organized capacity. The operators of
West Virginia finally realized the hope
lessness OF opposition to necessary,
natural development and established
with their employees permanent means
for attaining industrial justice Organ
lied labor and collective bargaining are
the most potent forces for making own
ers of property responsible for the use
of their power.
So long as the mine operators OF
Michigan and Colorado maintain their
opposition to organizations of laborers
they are stopping progress and prevent
ing industrial peace, which can only re-
suit from justice. -
So long as the citizens of these states
permit these property holders to use the
power derived from their property in an
irresponsible, autocratic manner they are
giving their sanction to the maintenance
of medieval industrial conditions.
The citizens are doubly culpable who
permit the maintenance of such use OF
power by armed troops.
