STRIKE OR SUBMIT.
Problem That Confronted the Min<
Workers of Colorado. :,

The clauses which are responsible
for present conditions in the Colorado
mining district are not new 1t is the
same old story of refusal to accept the
principle of collective bargaining in
dealings with work people.
IF any of our employees have griev-
ances," says Mr.. Rockefeller. "our
managers will gladly hear them, and
they will be adjusted according to the
justice of the case"
And who will be the judge of the
justice of the case? Why, the mine
manager, of course. And what can the
employee do if dissatisfied with the
verdict? He can quit.
But the men do not want to quit
They want to have their grievances
adjusted by representative Of their
organizations in conference with repre-
sentatives of the company, and they
would prefer to remain at work while
negotiations are pending. They want
to be placed on something like an equal
footing with the other party to the
controversy. That is fair, isn't It? To
accomplish this they maintain an or
ganization, and in this they are strictly
within their rights. aren't they?
But Mr.. Manager, upheld by the alb
sentee director, says he won't recog-
nize the union. Which means that the
men can come up humbly on the carpet
one by one and plead for better condi-
tions, with no alternative but to accept
the decision as final.
The men then decide to quit work in
q body-to strike. 1t is either this or
submission, and men do not like to
submit to injustice. The company Inn
ports strike breakers. for the most part
made up of the toughest of rough
necks. The state militia is called in to
protect the company's property
which probably would not need pro-
lection If the troops had not been call
ed. All these things are calculated to
engender a spirit of resentment among
the strikers, and they do some things
they should not do. They are human,
and their provocation is great. One
act of violence leads to another. The
troops usually are overzealous in their
desire to protect the interests of the
company and this attitude kindles the
fiames which leads to a state of civil
war.
Now, just Judge, place the RESPONSE
bility. Could not all this have been
avoided with a little diplomacy In the
first instance, a little more regard for
the rights of men and frank accept
ance of their right to organize? We
await your verdict.-W. Il. Luce In To
peka Capital.

THE committee for the 1914 eel
ebration of Labor Day was appoint
ed Tuesday night. There is vast
amount of work to be done by this
committee to make the celebration
a success. We want TO say to every
trades unionist that part cf this
work and the success of Labor Day
in this city belongs to him. To
make the day a success we must all
get right down to The work and do
it TO the best of our ability. To
give large outing of this kind is
no small matter and it means an
outlay of money if it is not success
full. We don't want to 60 down
into the treasures Of each union to
make up deficiency and it will not
be necessary if we all help to do
the work. We have always made
money out of our celebration but
that is not our object, we must
make money to keep from running
into debt. We can make money
this year and we will if we all do
our part of the work.

THE GOLD TEST.
It's Use In Diagnosing Diseases of tho
Brain and Nerves.

It's Use In Diagnosing Diseases of tho
Brain and Nerves.
Like the weird remedies and tests
of medicine in the middle ages are
some of the latest means science has
devised to detect and classify forms
of insanity and brain affections. Salts
of gold in solution. drops Of spinal
fluid, bits of the tissue from the Gov
ering of a normal persons brain and
various other similar materials are the
means employed.
The g&d test. for instance, is used
TO prove definitely the existence Of
paresis, meningitis and several other
practice it is used mostly as cor
roborative proof rather than the only
proof. Solutions OF salt of gold of
carefully graduated strength are put
into test tubes, with the weakest so
lutions at one end of the row grad
ing up to the strongest at the other
end
Fluid from the spinal column OF the
person who is being examined is then
dropped into the tubes. The presence
of certain kinds Of brain or nervous
trouble is then indicated by the col
ors produced in some of the tubes.
The particular color produced and the
strength of the solution that shows
the color strongest give the clew to the
kind Of disease
Another peculiar test for certain 9th
er kinds OF brain trouble is TO take a
drop of blood from the person exam
ined and place in it a prepared solu-
ton from a tiny particle of brain COW
ering of a normal person. Epilepsy
causes an easily detected reaction on
the combined solution. while other
brain disturbances are detected by a
similar process, using other materials
in the same way Saturday Evening

Sign Agreement With
Retail Clerks.

The following stores have signed
the union agreement with the Re
tail Clerks Union and will carry
the Union Store Card.
The Goodman, Strauss Co., Geo.
Krebs, Wilmer & Yeakle, Style
Shop, Worthmore Clothing Co,
c. S. Millikin, The Adams Co,
aud VIM Winkler.
These stores are worthy f the
patronage of union men and some
attention should be given these
stores by organized labor. Other
stores visited by the clerks and
asked to sign refused. The clerks
should have at least fifty stores
signed up and they can do it with
the assistance of organized labor.

UNIONS should not be too hasty
in placing firms and business men
on the unfair list. Everything
possible should be done to adjust
grievances aud disputes before this
is resorted to. We find of ell that
little difficulties can be adjusted by
sending a committee of reliable
trade unionists to talk the matter
over. Merchants will not stand for
rough tactics and the committee
whe meets to talk business in a
business like manner, invariably
wins the point.

THE bakery workers ask the
public for its moral support or as
sistance when purchasing bakery
products. The people are urged to
see that the union label is on all
bread or upon the wrapper, when
making purchases, as this label of
the bakers stands as a guarantee
that the cleanest and most sanitary
conditions prevail, also that decent
wages and hours of toll are main
tanned in the shops where the union
label is in vogue. This protects
the public as we'll as the bakery
workers and is extremely import
ant to all concerned.
