The Question Propounded Is, When Is

This is not conundrum, but plain
question that needs specific answer,
judging from the indiscriminate use of
the word. We answer that an engineer

Judoes Should Be Guided,

Some courts have tried to hold that
an employer has property right in the
labor of his employees. says the Shoe
Workers Journal If this is 80 then
labor is property. and II labor is prop
erty the employer must own the la
borer and the laborer must be a chat
tel slave. Since chattel slavery has
been abolished one cannot quite I'M
derstand how labor can be property.
If judges cannot see this distinction
it is time that lawmakers framed a
statute to guide the judges. 1t will not
do to forever leave such important
matters to be decided according TO the
within or prejudice Of a judge. who.
after all, is only a man and subject to
the frailties and weaknesses of the

Carpenters Organization Opposed to
Sympathetic Strikes.
Sympathetic strikes are no longer to
be recognized as legitimate weapons by
the International Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners of America, and
the stand Of that great organization
should be commended by every other
trade union of good repute. says the
Typographical Journal. In an address
before the recent convention Of the In
ternational Photo-engravers' union at
Indianapolis Frank Duffy, general Sec
rotary of the carpenters organization,
opposed sympathetic strikes or strikes
which have their origin solely In juris-

the carpenters will remain at work, in

regardless of what anybody else may
do"
Mr.. Duffy makes a clear distinction
between disputes that amount only to
quarrels among unions and disputes
between unions and the employers in
volving questions of wages, hours or
working conditions. Many contractors
have suffered in the past because Of in
ternal disputes among the labor unions.
In such affairs questions Of labor or
wages do not enter Yet the contractor
is dragged into the quarrel.

WOMEN OUT OF WORK.
Unemployed Female Toilers Have
Much TO Contend Against.

Complaint is being made that in all
our recent agitation for the intelligent
handling of the problem of unemploy-
ment woman was completely lost sight
of. AS a matter of fact, it is stated,
woman suffers from unemployment TO
a not inconsiderable extent. Many of
the trades open to her are seasonal
In time of general depression women
get no more consideration from en-
ployers than men.
While there are, however, & hundred
and one places where the unemployed
man can spend the day and even
night, where he can find shelter from
cold and rain, where he can even get
food free, the number of places open
to the unemployed woman is very
small. She cannot spend the day in
saloon She cannot sleep in hall
way. She cannot beg in the street the
price of a cup of coffee.
Why does not the woman who is in
such a plight turn to homework: is
often asked To begin with. there is
no housework for all such unemployed
women. You cannot make Il cook out

A Promise.

The world casts its burden on labor
And most of its sorrow and care
The heavy and terrible crosses
Are all for the toiler to bear.
But in spite of trouble and worry
That shut out the sunshine today
There's promise of brightness tomorrow
Some gladness to tighten the way
Unfavora BILE are the conditions
And tumults and conflicts abound.
But the orga niZation gives promise
That some better way may be found;
That union of labor learns wisdom
And. testing its strength as II should.
Shall combine with worldwide endeavor
To overcome evil with good
But there's promise still toy Improvement,
And courage must win IN the light.
Where the battle with wrong is raging
There's victory promised for right
And friends we believe In that promise
That boosts man out of despair
And gives him the strength that protects
him
From the greed that has placed MIN
there.

A. F. OF |. CONVENTION.
Important Questions to Be Considered
By the QeIeaates.

The thirty fourth annual convention
of the American Federation of Labor
will be held in Horticultural hall, Phil
adelphia, beginning at 10 o'clock Mon
day morning, Nov. o.
To be entitled to representation or
CARNATIONS must have obtained a char
ter at least one month prior to the con-
vention. and no person will be recog
nized as a delegate who is not a mem
Der in good standing of the organiza-
ton he is elected to represent.
Reference is made as follows to the
Importance of this convention by the
executive committee
1T is, of course. entirely unneces-
sary here to enumerate the important
subjects with which our forthcoming
convention will concern itself, but the
reminder is not at all amiss that every
effort must be made to broaden the
field and means for the organization
of the vet unOrganiZed workers, to
strive to bring about more effectually
homes of the toilers. to defend and
maintain by every honorable means in
our power the right to organize for our
common defense and advancement, for
the exercise of our normal and cOnsti-
tutional activities. to protect and pro
mote the rights and interests of the
workers and to assert at any risk the
freedom of speech and of the press
and the equal rights before the law of
every worker with every other citizen;
the tremendous conflict now being
waged in Europe and its possible con-
sequences and results. not only upon
the people of European countries, but
upon the people of America as well as
on the whole civilized world, must of
necessity receive the deepest solicitous
consideration of the working people of
America. These and other great ques-
tions of equal Importance will of ne
cessity occupy the attention of the
Philadelphia convention"

WOULD DEGRADE LABOR.
Colorado Mine Owners Want Peace on
Their Own Terms.

Their Own Terms.
1t is difficult to acquit Rockefellerism
of insincerity in the role which 1t as
sumed at the White House, where the
Industrial war in Colorado was under
discussion. Rockefellerism did not ap-
pear in person. 1t was represented
by proxy. 1t did not fairly and square
ly meet the issue as outlined by the
federal mediators and the president.
1t quibbled and paltered, processing
desire for peace and yet adhering to
the one contention which produced the
war.
The Rockefellers deny the right of
their labor to organize. They use to-
day the same arguments against trade
unions that were employed generations
ago, which in Great Britain have been
nulified by statute and in practically
all other countries by common consent
Processing to uphold the freedom and
independence of labor. they are in fact
adhering to system which In nearly
all civilized nations has been abandon
the degradation and oppression Of Ia
Dor.
The insincerity Of Mr.. Welborn. the
Rockefeller employee. who was heard
with surprising patience by the presi-
dent, lies, first, in the fact as stated
that he would yield nothing of impor-
lance and, secondly, in his pretense
that before he could give a final an
swer on some points he must consult
the other mine owners in Colorado.
There are only two men that he will
consult, and their name is Rockefeller.
