now comes Massachusetts with a law

years in a power house where his work
required him to breathe poisonous gases
as he looked for a moment seventy
times each day through the peepholes
of gas producer installation.
Can it be that the economists and
representatives of labor are becoming
more conservative than the judges?
Probably some Of the existing laws,
must be amended. and undoubtedly
new legislation in unmistakable terms
must be passed before victims of occu-

and justly. But surely the time is
soon coming when advocates of com

realize that Il logical consideration of
the facts leads likewise to compensa-
ton for industrial diseases.

WORK DISEASE VICTIMS.
New Laws Granting Compensation as
For Industrial Accidents.

New Laws Granting Compensation ae
For Industrial Accidents.
BY JOHN q. ANDREWS In the Survey
Just before the legislature of On
tario adjourned recently it did new
thing in America. 1t made law ito
provide for compensation to workmen
for injuries sustained and industrial
diseases contracted in the course OF
their employment" Twenty three of
our states and the federal government
have already covered accidents by leg
islatiop more or less inadequate. But
industrial diseases compensated by
special right in the title of the law is
worth attention. 1t hasn't happened
before on the American continent
This means tl&t III Ontario victims
of insidious trade maladies are to be
compensated just like sufferers from
sudden and obvious accidents. The
law mentions by way Of introduction
half dozen work diseases about
which we have been learning lately
poisoning from lead, phosphorus, mer-
curry and arsenic, as well as anthrax
and the miners ailment spelled anky-
lostomiasis.
Readers will remember the technical
decisions of the federal government

ENGINEERING FEATS.
Clever Tricks With Which Emeraen
cies Have Been Met.

NiSS nave Been wet
Engineering is filed with so many
tricks to meet emergencies that most
OF them pass unnoticed. but two have
recently attracted the attention of en-
gineers because of their real oddity.
One was a scheme for stopping a
blazing leak in big high pressure gas
main in San Francisco. Some unknown
men who wanted to make trouble set
off chemical preparation on the gas
main, with the result that In a few
seconds a hole had been melted in the
main, the gas poured out and a great
flame shot twenty-five feet in the air.
1t was then after midnight, and it was
very inadvisable to shut the big main
off, so 1t was decided to make an at
tempt to stop the leak without shutting
off the gas.
An oil we'll trick was used. An iron
pipe six inches in diameter and twenty
feet long was stood on end beside the
gas main and then by careful manipu-
lation placed directly over the leak
This sent the leaking gas shooting
through the pipe and flaming out at the
top twenty feet in the air, Some gas
leaked out at the bottom of the pipe
but this was easily stopped, so the only
flame was that at the top of the pipe.
Ropes had been attached to the pipe
and finally at a given signal the ropes
were yanked and the pipe was thrown
many feet away from the gas main
The pipe carried the flame with ii. The
leaking gas then shot directly into the
air from the main. but as there was

FOR UNi0NiSM ALONE.
Gompers E<horts Workingmen to Bat
tie Under the Banner of Unity.


While personally pledging his best
efforts to the committee having in
charge the union forward" movement
in Philadelphia, President Gompers has
declined to make an address to raise
funds to finance the movement. Pres
ident Gompers declined to speak to
workingmen where an admission fee is
charged He declared the gospel of
trades unionism is free and without
price and that his preaching Of it would
be done only under circumstances that
would make it free to all. The Ameri.
can Federation of Labor executive
made an effective plea for unity among
trade unionists. Without unity" he
declared "your efforts to secure your
rights are defeated before you start
Trade unionism should alone be our
slogan. We should eliminate every
cult and ism from our ranks and with
unity as our watchword present solid
front in the great cause that has for its
aim the welfare and advancement of
humanity.
while listening to your deliberations
am impressed with the fact that some
Of you are not working in harmony
You charge each other with more Of
fenses than are charged against you
by special privilege, which has long ex-
plotted you for its own benefit Each
of you declares your position to be cor
rect and insists that the other has some
sinister, selfish interest he wishes to
advance. A plague on both your
houses Cease this constant attempt
to belittle each other and save your en-
ergy to promote the welfare of the
greatest force making for the advance
and welfare of mankind
IF labor acts as a unit there is no
limit to what it can accomplish in Phil
adelphia Divided it is defeated before
1t begins.
Trade unionism, and trade union
ism only, must be our slogan. We must
eliminate from our ranks all efforts of
individuals to advance their pet hob
bies and battle under the banner of
unity
I'm this way, and in this way only,
can the great cause of organized labor,
which has helped the individual to a
more equitable distribution of the
wealth he has produced and for which
thousands of men have consecrated
their lives for advancement of human
ity, be brought to a successful culmina-

NOT AN INNOVATION.
Trade Unionism Has a History That
Dates Back to Genesis.

Dates Back to Genesis.
Unionism is not an interloper. 1t
has not entered the modern field of in
dustry as an innovation. 1t has his
tory as long as the human race While
the labor union as an institution is of
comparatively modern origin, from the
days OF Moses and perhaps before at
tempts have been made through yari-
Gus means to regulate and improve the
condition of the workers OF society
Labor leads back to Genesis. Since
man began to eat bread in the sweat
of his brow" labor has been a human
problem. The historian has not seen
fit to say much about it, for the ancient
worker was not looked upon as a max
er of history The common conflict of
the olden days was that by which
man secured the right to live. The
clash of arms in primitive societies
means physical development, and all
the struggle for existence meant this.
The change gradually came to the
world from militancy to industrialism,
not the struggle for existence, but the
struggle for subsistence"
Ruskin defines labor He says, Ia
Dor is the contest of the life of man
with an opposite" The lot of the la
borer Is one Of struggle. He has to
win his way. He is no social pet The
man with the hoe" has to "hoe his
own row"
The weapons Of the worker may be
in some cases crude. but they are
welded by hands reaching out toward
ideals Of advancement. Individual, do
mestic and social betterment is the in
centiye. Had the worker been insensi-
BILE to such incentive slavery and serf-
dom would be the lot of the man Of

LABOR'S RIGHT.

Free men have the right TO be
stow or withhold their labor and
their patronage whenever or
wherever they may wish. To
gainsay this right is to deny free
dom.
Labor power and patronage are
. what make the workman effec-
tive and forceful They consti
! tute his principal protection and
! means Of self expression. They
must be guarded us the founda
tion of individual freedom. the
: precious birthright OF a man free
to be himself and to possess his
: own soul
Not only must the Theoretical
right TO best0w or withhold Ia
Dor power and patronage be
maintained. but this must be
given reality and effectiveness
by permitting men to pursue le
gitimate courses of action in eX-
ercising this right If the end is
. lawful and worthy. then the NOR
! al means for attaining that end
. must also be recognized as legal
and necessary. = Samuel Com
