To Abolish Guard System.

Washington, Feb. 13.-In bis
first annual report Secretary of La
Dor Wilson asks Congress TO pass
legislation that will prevent the in
terstate transportation of armed
guards in times of strike. Refer

ports, ''are said to have been im-
ported from Colorado and other
States through a business concern
engaged commercially across State
Ii es in supplying corporations with
an armed and trained soldiery or
police in numbers running into
hundreds and even thousands. In
connection with the Pere Marquette
strike in Michigan, armed guards,
furnished by agencies in other
Sta,es supplying men to take the
place cf local strikers, accompanied
those men to Grand Rapids, They
were then turned back by the Unit
ed States marshal under instruc-
tions from the district Judge. In
the Calumet copper mining region
arEied guards under contract with
the employers were forwarded to
the locality by agencies in other
States" Mr. Wilson urges Con-
gress to take action within its con-
stitution limitations to regulate
this business in the interest of
peace and order. II is shown that
this suggestion is neither novel or
new, and the report Of the Con-

Holds Railroad Liable.

Indianapolis, Feb. 13.-The
State Supreme Court holds the
Chicago and Erie railroad liable for
damages in the case of workma n
who was injdred while executing a
special order to move a car by
placing his shoulder against 1t and
his feet against an adjoining car on
the same track. While SO situated
the string of cars against which
his feet were placed was bumped,
and he was injured. The company
held he was guilty of negligence.
The court disagreed with this view
declaring that it was the duty OF
the foremen 10 protect the worker,
who was justified III using the other
car as resistance basis In an effort
to obey orders.

Girls Win Stubborn Fight.

Philadelphia, Feb. 13 After a
seven weeks strike of 2 900 hosiery
workers at the Taubel mills, the
management has receded from its
no arbitration " position aud &C
cepted the solution offered by
the strikers and officers of
the United Textile Workers, affil-
lated to the A. F. of L. The strike
was called after a reduction OF
wages and refusal to even discuss
the matter with the interested
workers. The strike completely
tied up several mills, because OF
the enthusiasm shown Uy the girls
and the aid given them by the 10
cal trade unionists and officials oi
the Textile Workers. The activity
together with the efforts OF the ex-
President Cronin of the Central
body, who, as a representative oil
the state labor department, induced
the management to change its
views and an agreement was en-
tered into whereby the girls will
return to the mills under the old
rates and conditions, which shall
remain in force until the entire
matter is decided by board or ar
bitration. The strikers accepted
this plan, as it was the position
they maintained during the walk
OFT. Another section of the agree
ment provides that "The Taubel
hosiery mills shall not take any
drastic action towards any of its
employees which might be con-
structed as penalty fer going on
strike, and no discrimination shall
be made on the part of the Taubel
hosiery mills toward any employe
because of their being out on
strike" The girls are enthusiastic
over their efforts to stand together,

FRANKING MAIL MATTER.
At One Time Soldiers In This Country
Enjoyed the Privilege.

At One Time Soldiers In This Country
Enjoyed the Privilege.
The postoftice was first established
for the principal and in some countries
for the exclusive purpose OF carrying
official correspondence by mail Later
in France, Great Britain and the
United States because of the great ex-
pansion and commercialization of the
postal system the free carriage of mail
matter came TO be>regarded as privi-
lege and this privilege was claimed by
persons in official position.
In England the mousse OF commons
claimed the privilege as early as 1860.
1t was abolished in Great Britain.
however, by the passage of fiaowland's
cheap postage measure in 1859. In the
United States the first appearance OF
the franking privilege is traceable to
the action of the Continental congress
assuming control of the postoffice In
January, 1776. 1t is interesting to
learn that it was then granted to all
private soldiers actually In service for
all letters they might write or that
might be written to them.
In the early years of the United
States government the privilege was
granted widely. but it soon became
necessary to restrict it. An act of
March 8, 1S45, limited the privilege to
the president, the vice president. mem
bers and delegates in congress. the
third assistant postmaster general and
all postmasters. Other offices were di-
rected to keep quarterly accounts of
postage

Against Private Armies.

Denver, Feb. 13.-Under the
caption, SPrivate Armies and Pri-
vate Government Intolerable in
United States, the Evening Ex
press of this city, says: The first
political lesson at Trinidad, taught
also at Homestead more than TWEEN
ty years ago, is that private armies
are intolerable in free govern
ment They helped TO destroy
Rome. They must not be allowed
to contribute to the destruction of
America. The enforcement of a
law is public duty. When it is
sublet to either party in controv-
ersy, justice vanishes. Through its
own agents, the United States now
knows that, for months in the Col
orado coal country. free govern
ment did not exist, it had broken
down In its place was private
Cover nment, paid for by federated
greed. The Go"ernor of Colorado
lays the burden of blame upon i'm
ported agitators, but the United
States now knows that the big
trouble was with imported gunmen
and with their remorseless EN- ploy-
ers, the absentee capitalists. 1t is
not just to compel underpaid labor
10 bear the cost of this default in
government. 1t is cruel to take il
out of starving men and women.
The public welfare clause of the
federated constitution is ample
warrant for Uncle Sam to butt in
Mother Jones detention without
due process of law is another inn

COSMOPOLITAN DAMASCUS.
The Oldest City on Earth, 1t Show
All the Worlds Peoples.


At last we are set down in the midst
of Damascus. a city that can claim
life without a break from it's founding
back in the dim dawn of the world s
history When Abram crossed the des-
ert from Haran 1000 years ago this
city was standing Genesis xiv, Is. and
XIV. q. She dates back to the time of
the Pharaohs in Egypt. In fact, she
was old when Greece and Rome were
striplings in years. Rome may be
termed the Eternal City, but Damas-
Gus is twice as old. and though her
streets have run red with blood OF
battle and rapine many times. she
has not been overthrown.
BABYLON is an heap in the desert
and Tyre ruin on the shore" but
Damascus remains.
Was there ever such place to see
the nations of the earth parading to-
gether? Here in the market place are
motley crowds of Persians. Moors. AT,
ghans. Indians, Egyptians, Sudanese
Jews. Bedouins. Druses. Turks, Euro
peans. The streets-so crooked. SO mar
row. so dirty, so full of life. with thai
strange spell of the desert upon them
The residences as seen from the street
are ugly and disappointing enough
yet like old barns and tumbledowr
mills at home are fascinating and pic

GAMING TIE CULPRIT.
The Marks 1t Leaves Look Worse Thaa
the Whaling Feels.

In London police court recently a
teacher in public school was prose
cuted for assaulting a pupil by Gaming
him. The magistrate decided that he
had not used undue violence and there
fore discharged the master.
In this case the father of the boy
who had been caned took him TO a
physician on the evening of the day
of his castigation and this doctor found
about fifteen wheals on the lads back.
This was evidence of severe punish
ment but the magistrate considered 1t
was not too severe for the ofense
which had caused it, and said that
parents had formed an exaggerated
opinion Of the amount of force that
had been used.
Commenting on this the London Ian
Get says;
"a blow from a cane causes at the
time an appreciable amount of pain
(Which. by the way. is what it is in
tended to dol. but it leaves behind a
mark quite out of proportion in its
formidable character to the amount of
suffering which it causes after the first
sting has been endured. If any one
doubts this, having perhaps avoided
the opportunity to observe it in the
course of an exemplary boyhood, the
experiment is easily made. Any small
boy will be willing to do his share by
infiicting upon the seeker after truth
a sharp cut or two, the results of
which will no doubt be distinctly felt
for time, but only for about an hour,
while there will be visible on the well
protected and tender skin Of the back
for some days wheals which would
harrow the heart of any mother"
In other words, boys back after a

Bricklayers and Masons' Interna-

substantial plurality. The plan is
practically the same as the one
which las proved so successful for
the International Typographical

Typographical Union applies the

Mystery of a Rridearoom.

The mysterious disappearance Of a
bridegroom at wedding is recalled
by T. F. Thiselton Dyer in his
Strange Pages From Family Papers.
The wedding took place in Lincoln
shire about the year 1850 I'm this in
stance the wedding party adjourned
after the marriage ceremony to the
bridegroom's residence and dispersed,
some to ramble in the garden and
others to rest in the house till the
dinner hour. But the bridegroom was
suddenly summoned away by a do
mestic who said that a stranger wish.
ed to speak with him. and hencefor-
ward he was never seen again. All
kinds of inquiries were made, but to
no purpose. and terrible as the dismay
was Of the poor bride at this inex
plicable disappearance of the bride

Fall River, Mass, Feb. Il OF
hcials of the State Board of Aibl
tration and Mediation scored the
management of the American
Printing Company for refusal to
arbitrate differences w th its en-
ployes who have tied up the fac
tory in this city because of discrlm-
nation and wages. Chairman
Wood said that the strikers were
willing to abide by an arbitration
decision, but the company declined
because it did not want to submit
to the intervention of a third par
ty " II answer to this position
the state representative said: The
ccmpany's reason is not logical
Other difficulties that il encounters
in its business have TO be settled
oy a third party. troubles OF
legal nature require the interveu
tion of third party. Arbitration
is recognized by law, and by al
fair minded people, as quare log
ical method of set ling trouble ot
this sort. There is no reason il
our minds why this trouble should
not be submitted to arbitration
which provides for a complete
careful and fair settlement of the
questions involved. The company
has been placed in an awk ward po-
sition because Of the publicity giver
it, and It has offered to take back
all the strikers and renew negotia
tions on the wage question. The
company's previous offer was tt
take back IS per cent, but this wa.
rejected.

look brighter than some may think
and we have been a power in past
legislatures and we can be greater
power, declared President Maurer
of the state Federations of Labor
at a mass meeting Of unionists and

speaker said that the last legisla-
ture passed fourteen labor laws,
which was a record for that insti-
tuition. At the coming session es-
pecial attention will be paid to
child labor laws, an act regulating
the hours of women and a work
men S compensation law. Besides
this, the state branch is urging a
union labor foreward movement

Hoffman, of the State Labor De

are expended to improve machin-
cry and install safety devices, and
that it will take two years to make
the improvements ordered by the
department inspectors. He also
says that in the majority of cases
employers are quite willing to as
sist state officials in their work but
where orders are disregarded to i'm.
prove or place safeguards in fac
tories the employer is given 30 days
to comply with the demand. If
he falls in this time the machinery
