A COLORADO "ATROCITY."
Why the Head of the Fuel and Iron
Company Was Panied.


In recent editorial anent the Colora-
do mine situation the New York World
says That President Welborn of the
Colorado Fuel and iron company
should have been greatly panied be-
cause, after the arrival of the federal
troops in the Colorado strike field.
they will not permit us to bring in
any men from outside the state, !"
shows that he had sensitive chord in
his heart. That 1.-The policy of the fed
eral troops is not satisfactory to u.s.
to quote from one of his letters, only
proves with how little intelligence he
considered the occasion for federal in
tervention.
Mr.. Welborn, of course. was i'm
mensely interested in the freedom of
labor; 1t was a. cause dear to his heart.
But somehow he seems to have i'm
agined that the federal troops would
serve much the same purposes as the
Colorado militia had supported and
act as a chock on only one side. They
were sent to Colorado to keep the
peace. not solely to oblige Mr.. Wei
born's corporation They did what
they were intended to do and did it
most effectively, and that, as a matter
OF fact, is the policy which he finds
mot satisfactor to u.s."

OBSTACLES TO PROGRESS.
Ignorance and SeIfishness Two Great
Sources of Human Misery.

Ignorance and Selfishness Two Great
Sources of Human Misery.
One of Americas leading economists
shows that the two great obstacles to
progress and the two great sources of
human misery in the worlds past have
been ignorance and seIfshness.
Ignorance has made men the victims
Of one another by war. oppression.
slavery, murder robbery, theft. fraud
outrage, revenge and a thousand and
one other wrongs. and at the same
time, notwithstanding all his wrongs
at the hands of others. it has made
man his own worst enemy.
In California we have an organiza-
tion known generally as the Merchants
and Manufacturers association. whose
chief function seems to be the propaga-
ton of these two adverse influences.
1t is endeavoring to keep the work
ers Of the state from organizing and to
destroy the organizations Of labor al
ready in existence because it knows
that organized workers become edu-
Gated and better able to combat the
forces that prosper off their exploita-
tion.
1t recognizes in the labor unions
the greatest educational agencies for
the enlightening of the working class
and so has arrayed to eliminate them
The principal subterfuge of the NJ.
and NJ. is its efforts to establish so
called industrial Independence
This industrial independence" means
condition of industry in which or
ganized employers shall have no In
reference from organizations Of work
ers.
1t is a system for the propagation of
selfshness.
1t would have the workers adopt the
barbarian creed of every man for
himself"
1t would resolve industry on the
workers side to a state Of universal
contest with each other for Jobs
1t would destroy organized labor with
all its beneficial cooperation features
1t would eradicate the brotherhood
of labor, which can exist only among
organized workers.
So it will be seen that the NJ and NJ.
is devoted only to the things that OBJ
struct progress and promise misery

BENEFIT OF UNIONS.
Street Car Workers Show the Value of
Trade ORGANIZATION.

Street Car Workers SHOW the value OF
Trade Organization.
In a pamphlet entitled Wage His
tory of the Amalgamated Association
Of Street and Electric Employees of
America" international President Ma
hon of that organization has compiled
an effective argument for organization
by wage earners
The wage records for before and aft
er organization of 200 cities are printed
and include all sections of the country
advances made:
Waterloo, " Y. before organization,
15 cents per hour the first year Il cents
second year, 10 cents thereaftea, after
organization. 10 cents per hour the first
year, q cents second year. - cents
third year and "A cents thereafter.
San Francisco before organization,
20. q and 81 cents per hour; after or
ganization, 37la cents per hour.
Pottsville. Pa before organization.
13 cents per hour; after organization.
% cents per hour the first year and q
cents thereafter
New Orleans before organization.
1874 cents per hour; after organization.
"a cents per hour the first. second and
third years: 244 cents thereafter
With wage increases through organi-
cation hours have been likewise de-
creased
In addition. the pamphlet makes men
ton of other advances too numerous to
mention These include improved work
ing conditions. such as air brakes. sand
boxes, stools for motormen and con
ductors, the protection of the men
while at their labor and protection
against unjust discharges. Mention Is
also made of the hard fight to pass
laws compelling all ears to be vesti-
buled This was the first effort of the
Amalgamated association to improve
conditions. 1t succeeded first In Ohio
The work was carried from state to
state despite the opposition of practi-
cally all of the companies. Now the
practice is universal in the United
States and Canada.

Defends Compensation Law.

Harris Weinstock has answered the
charge of an insurance company that
California's promise to refund 10 per
cent Of its premiums to policy holders
in the state compensation insurance
fund is get rich quick scheme" and
is "pilfering of fund set aside to
protect industrial cripples."
Weinstock shows that these reduc-
tions now total 40 per cent over the
charge of private companies and that
the state in the matter Of efficiency has
broken all records in the settlement of
5000 claims. OF these there have been
only eleven disputed cases. and out of
these there have been only three cases
where the injured workers right to com
pensation had to be determined by the
commission. In the remaining eight
cases the issue was simply to deter
mine who were the rightful dependents
of the injured workers, the extent of
such dependency or the extent of per
manent disability.

The Advance of Labor.

In 1909 twenty-four members of the
Shoemakers' union of New York, then
recently organized, were arraigned be
fore De Witt Clinton, mayor of New
York. and Alderman Peter A. Mesier
and Thomas Carpenter as justices of
the sessions. The shoemakers were
charged with conspiring in that they
had combined TO extort money from
master shoemakers by agreeing not to
work for less than a specified scale of
wages. The defendants were found
guilty, and against each of them a fine
was assessed. Labor unions for col
lective bargaining with respect to
wages were suppressed and did not
appear again for forty years. Then
they won the right to exist, and, says
the New York Globe, for half cen
tury the legality of organizations for
the purposes named was not seriously
questioned.

THE LARGER VIEW.

The organized labor movement
is great today because great and
self sacrificing spirits have been
behind it in the past and emo
bled 1t by their example. To the
time server and him who counts
his self interest as first neither
organized labor nor any other
movement will mean much more
than mere name. There is no
workman so humble that he can
not take his place and play a
: manly part in the battle of life
The labor movement has a place
open and ready for every man
and woman who aspires to do his
or her share in making this
world better The greatest of
) failures is the man or woman
who does not recognize that hu-
manity has claim upon him or
her and whose sole ambition is
to just enjoy life and have
good time. TO him who really
lives will come the realization of
things to be done. of battles to
fight, of victories to win and oft
; times of sacrifices to be made for
. our common humanity Indus

CONSIDER THE LABEL.

We particularly have in mind
the disposition of the working
man to spend his money making
his enemies prosperous. This is
what he does every time he buys
nonunion article or patronizes
an unfair concern.
II you want to make your un-
ion strong you must do your best
to make all organized labor
strong. If you have a personal
dislike for merchant you will
not trade with him. You have a
personal dislike for the labor
crushing employer who employs
nonunion labor at starvation
wages and denies the right of or
ganization to his employees, and
yet you buy his goods Further
comment upon your intelligence
is unnecessary Shoe Workers

MINE FOREMAN'S COURAGE.
Saved Many Lives by Quick Wit and
Firm Resolution.

Firm Resolution.
E1fty-two men were killed in q gas
explosion in the north mine of the
Franklin Coal and Coke company at
Royalton. H.. Oct. ~ At least sixty
others might have lost their lives but
for the quickness and resolution of the
mine foreman, j. B. Brown, who was
courageous enough to order the air cur
rent reversed within minute after
the explosion, the very thing which is
blamed for increasing the death toll at
the Cherry disaster five years ago.
The last cage load of 357 men had
just gone down the shaft, and Brown
himself was waiting for the return of
the cage when the explosion occurred
With the memory of the criticism of
what was done at Cherry it was a ter
rible responsibility for Brown to take
But like 4 fash be ordered the fans
reversed and then threw his own life
In the balance by going down the shaft
to notify the men who might be endan-
gered by his action.
AS he expected he found men lying
all around the foot of the shaft gasping
for breath, but already the reversed
fans were pouring fresh air down upon
them. He sent fifty-two of them in all
stages of exhaustion to the surface.
Then. with his helpers. he rushed into
the workings. They met and turned
back thirty eight men, and then, pene-
trating the farthest working, they
found and sent to the surface 213
others who did not know there had
been an explosion. Survey.
