THE RIGHT TO LIVE.
All That the Clayton Antitrust Bill
Gives to Labor and Farmers.

All That the Clayton Anti-tr Bill
Gives to Labor and Farmers.
The organs of the great corporations
and Of the organized interests are con-
cerned about the special privileges con-
ferred on the laboring men and farm
ers by the bill defining the Sherman
antitrust law What are these privi-
leges?
The provision insisted upon by rep
resentatives OF organized labor and
agreed to are that nothing In the anti
trust laws shall be construed to forbid
the existence and operation" of labor
and farmers unions and that such or
ganiZations and their members shall
not be construed or held to be Illegal
combination or conspiracies under the
antitrust laws
That is the mere right Of existence
The aim of the trust magnates has
been to discredt the Sherman act by
securing from the courts an interpre
tation under which the right to exist
to organize, to cooperate, should be
denied laborers and farmers.
Capital may incorporate Clearing
houses may exist. A thousand asso-
Citations may be formed legally. After
that they are judged by their acts.
Not SO far as laborers and farmers
are concerned Their associations are
denounced as illegal; their right to ex-
ist is questioned They are pariahs.
But this new law puts them on an
equality with capitalists, with corpora
tions, with insurance companies, with
boards of trade. with clearing houses.
Nothing in the antitrust law may be
construed to forbid the existence of
labor unions nor of farmers clubs.
Not too soon is this declaration made
Can this labor association or farmers
union commit acts Of depreciation or Of
violence or do acts in restraint Of
trade?
They have no such privileges They
are simply permitted to live under the
statute law, as from time immemorial
they have been permitted to live un-
| der the common law.-Louisville Post

the orbit of Neptune the sun would
look no larger than an arc light. Faint

into a pititui spark. In spite OF your
tensest efforts to keep that glinting
point clear of its fellows. it would at
last melt into the multitude OF soft
lights that make up the Milky way.

matically lnsures Workmen.
Every workman in New York state
employed In any one OF forty-two oc-
cupations that have been listed by the
legislature as hazardous is automat-
ically insured in case of injury or death
while at work. Persons dependent
upon workman were also automat-
fcally insured. This protection is Illus
trated by an expert In this way:
II workman earning 500 month
is killed his widow will get $50 a
month. II she is twenty years old at
the time of her husbands death and
IL she lives to be seventy she will
get total of $4,000, more In all
probability than she would get If sue
cessful In q damage suit. She would
also avoid the worry, expense and de-
lay Of litigation.
Ii the widow has a child one year
old that child will receive 10 per cent
of the fathers income each year for
Of child five years old up to the time
1t is eighteen years old. For child
seven years old 6 % per cent will be
paid yearly for eleven years
II a workman Is permanently dis
abled he will get two-thirds Of his
weekly wages for life
A person who earns SIS week will
receive for partial disability amounts
approximately as follows.

ing Laws Practically Obsolete.
Because of child labor today the fu-
ture generation OF men and women
will suffer. Their careers will bear the
stamp Of humanitys brutality
Scientific investigation tells us that
If the race is to be saved from dimin-
ishing In stature prevention must be-
gin with the child After the time for
growth has passed no improvement ia
the physical environment win cause
the bones TO increase In size.
The nation has no right to permit a
child to sacrifice during his years Of
possible physical development that
which he cannot hope to regain In later
years or to relinquish any degree OF
efficiency which would otherwise be
his and which he will need in his man
hood years.
AS a nation claiming to be enlight-
ened and civilized 1t is time we were
awaking to the fact that there are GER
tain imponderable values that must be
saved.
reports progress in securing laws in
favor Of child workers Almost every
state has gone on record, some more
pronounced than others, as opposed to
child labor and has passed regulation
laws. But we are told by the same
committee that most important of all
Is the provision for adequate enforce
ment OF the laws Without such pro-
vision any child labor law is obsolete.
The problem Of providing for the prop
er enforcement OF the law Is far from
being solved. Grace Brewer in Ma

FOR WOMEN TOILERS.
Training School to Teach Girls How TO
Organize Trade Unions.

Organize Trade Unions.
With the coming Of it's first two pu-
pills. one from Kansas City and the
other from Baltimore, the Training
School For Organizers. recently estab-
lished In Chicago by the National Wo-
mems Trade Union league has begun
work in earnest These two girls.
both by a coincidence connected with
the brewing industry. one in the bot
tling Of beer and the other in the
making of corks for such bottles, have
come to receive a three months train
ing in the work of organizing OF girls
and women. Both these young women
have had practical experience in the
labor movement as leaders in their
respective trades and now seek train
ing which will make that experience
more valuable.
The work Of the school has been di-
yided into field and classroom work.
The field work. which is done under
the direction of the presidents and or
ganizers of the local leagues, consists
of participation In whatever work of
organization is under way. The pupils
assist in the distribution of cards call
ing meetings and take part in the
meetings themselves. They are given
practice and instruction in the taking
and adjusting grievances and in pre-
senting them to employers.
Perhaps the most interesting divi-
sion of the work is the class in public

Anti screen Law to Stand.

The United States supreme court
has refused to issue restraining order
to hold up the operation Of the Green
ant-screen law, passed by the last ses-
sion Of the Ohio legislature. This law
has been urged by the miners for
twenty years, and they have protested
against the use of screens at the mines
by operators. Miners In that state are
not paid for the coal that passes
through the screens, although the op
orator markets 1t. The anti-screen Law
would abolish this practice, and it has
been resisted by the operators.

When the waves of the ocean are
one-half the length of the ship and
one-twentieth of the length in height
the stress upon the ship itself is very
little increased above that in smooth
water. But when the waves are of
the same length as the ship or one and
one-half times its length the stresses
are considerable higher than when the
ship is in smooth water; hence, in view
of the fact that waves are seldom
over 500 feet long, the maximum bend
ing moments which come upon ship
300 feet long are much less than those
which come upon one 500 feet long

LABoR's RIGHTS.

Labor demands and has the
right to demand that laws be en-
acted making a fundamental diff
ference between labor power
and property. Labor power is
not property because it cannot
be separated from the laborer
1t is personal. 1t lives only In
the life of the worker and ends
with his death. 1t cannot be
transferred like property.
Property is the product of la
Dor applied to some substance
of intrinsic value when perfect
ed by labor. 1t Is transferable,
can be inherited and does not
die when the person who owns
1t or produces it dies.
What organized labor is now
seeking Is the assistance of con-
crosses and courts to restore the
English common law definition
OF property and restricting the
jurisdiction of all courts of equi-
ty to it's legitimate limitations. as
1t was universally recognized at
the time of the adoption of the
constitution. CONGRESSMAN Isaac
