LETTER TO EDITOR
LABOR AND PROGRESS

Editor Day Book. - Thursday
nights issue of The Day Book told
how President John Fitzpatrick of
the Chicago Federation of Labor and
those that followed him made some
startling disclosures before the in
dustrial relations commission as to
the conditions prevailing on the in
dUstrial field.
In plain though convincing words
they proved beyond the shadow of
doubt how omnipotent the employers
are in the power they WELD over those
who must toll from day to day.
And yet this terrible evidence and
all that is to follow is as old as slavery
itself, having passed through several
economic phases from serfdom to
capitalism and will persist until the
workers will do their own inVestigat-'
ing and, above all, their own reform
ing"
We are well aware of the economic
power of the ruling class with it's
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-07-25

What do we know of the tempta-
lions that have made other men and
women fall, when we have stood erect
because we were strongly supported
by protecting arms?
Are we sure that both men and wo-
men don't have to sin and suffer
themselves before they can have gen
uine sympathy for others who sin and
suffer?
All this is in my mind when l say
it isn't important whether the vile
charges are true or false; that Mother
Jones must be judged for what she is
now and for the great service she
has rendered those who have far too
few sincere and unselfsh friends and
champions.
Despite all such charges that evil
men might make. 1 believe Mother
Jones to be a good and noble woman;
and if all the charges were true and
l knew them to be true, would take
off my hat to her for her great good
ness of heart and unconquerable
courage of mind.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-07-25

We know she has gone to jail for
the mine workers of West Virginia
and Colorado; that she has suffered
privation, humiliation and what
amounts to torture for the men, wo-
men and children of the working
class.
Yet a cowardly editor of the sneak
ing Polly Pry'-ing weekly publica-
ton would have us believe this wo-
manly martyr was an inmate of
houses of prostitution when she was
old enough to be a grandmother
for 1889 was only 25 years ago, and
Mother Jones is past 80 now.
But even if it were all true-even
if she had fallen in her youth-even
if she had lost caste and was a social
outcast, how could that possibly de-
tract from the service she has rem
dered humanity since?
Let us suppose another woman 80
years old-a woman who was virtu-
Gus as maid, wife, mother and grand
mother-a woman against whom
there was never breath of suspicion
and about whom the venomous
tongue Of scandal never wagged-a
woman who has lived a long life of
well-bred ease and churchly propriety
"a woman who has been devoted to
her family, but has never lifted her
little finger for humanity's uplift or
gone out of her way to alleviate the
suffering of the poor and oppressed
would anybody claim that such a
good woman was better woman
with all her virtue than a woman of
the same age who had sinned and
then starved and served and suffered
for humanity for many years?
Does sin kill all the GOOD in any
of us? If man or woman is SO per
cent good and 1 per cent evil, don't
we overlook the 80 per cent good and
punish the 1 per cent evil?
If any man or woman is GOOD

Wife IS FIRST IN
REACHING FOR GUN
Family Quarrel Ends in Death
Of Husband.

Deputy Sheriff Joseph Boyami of
Aurora, a town on the iron range,
reached for a revolver that. he kept
under his pillow, his wife said, while
he was quarreling with his helpmeet,
but she was quicker. She got the
weapon, thrust it against his forehead
and fred, killing him. Now she is in
custody at Virginia.
While their two children, three and
five years old, slept in the same room,
Boyami, his wife says, made accusa-
tions against her; she resented them,
and they Quarreled until Boyami fell
asleep, apparently partly pacified by
her replies. 49,.
But early next morning before the
couple got up the husband renewed
the quarreling, became Infatuated in
spite of his wife's efforts to calm him,
Mrs. Boyami says. 4.
Finally HIS hand sought the pistol.
His wife anticipated his purpose,
thrust her hand beneath the pillow,
her fingers felt the weapon and, draw
ing it forth, she fired before Boyami
could prevent her. This is her story
of the killing.

WHAT IS HAPPENING I'M F1N1AND2

The following extract from pri-
vate letter to citizen of Stockholm
from a friend in Finland, tells some
thing which a Russianized press dare
not print:
1.-THE struggle we are engaged in is
no doubt only the skirmish against a
better prepared foe.
lone would not erect barracks, one
would not fortify all of our coasts from
Viborg to Aaland, one would not con-
struct military railroads thru the
country and bring in soldiers by the
hundred thousand-for simply holding
down a people that does not lift a
finger against the armed forces but
contents itself with protesting that the
laws are being trampled under foot
Our judges are thrown into Rus
| sian prisons, when they do not render
decisions as demanded of them.
Eyes, one does not need be extra
ordinarily clearsighted to see what the
! meaning of all this is. One must first
| annihilate all old Swedish culture be.
fore attack on the old Motherland may
be made without opposition from oul
| part.
Just now Asiatic soldier hordes are
| passing my window, singing their wild
| war songs, and they think they are max.
ing as impression upon us, Installing
fear and showing us who has the
| power.
"They are mistaken. We are un
armed, and they have the advantage il
raw physical strength but we do no
fear them. We have our ancient Swed
ish faith in the right and that it vii
finally triumph over might. And W,
shall win.
But when? Just as soon as 20,
free men over there are called on t,
repulse an attack, and do so unitedl,
and with spirit, and this you must b.
prepared for in the near future.
II am Swede, the same as you ar
although my forefathers by Providence
were located in the chain of outpost
in this land, which I count as Swed
ish even tho it has more than a cen
fury been held by enemy. Therefore
could not refrain from giving my feel
ings vent in these hurriedly writer
lines.
May you go forth victorious in tn
battle for your great cause.

Admiral Mayo Intends ] 4 Keeping
Port Of Tanlplco Open.

Washington, June 8.-Another crisis
in the Mexican difficulty faces the
Washington government, a situation
fraught with perils for mediation and
with possibilities that might precipi-
tate actual warfare between the Unit
ed States and Mexico.
General Huerta has brought about
the new crisis by ordering his gun
boats to blockade the port of Tampico
and to sieze cargo of ammunition en-
route there for the Mexican Consti-
tutionalists aboard. the steamer An
tilla from New York, flying the Cuban
flag.
Huerta has notified the powers of
the intent to blockade the port and
that he proposes to seize the cargo
consigned to the belligerents against
his sovereignty as cOntraband of war.
The purpose of the United States
to suppress the attempt to blockade
and prevent interference with the An
tilla was indicated when Secretary
Daniels issued an official statement
announcing that, while no new orders
had been given Rear Admiral Badger,
there had been no change in the pol
icy of the government in reference to
its desire that the port of Tampico
shall be open to all commerce. The
statement follows:
ovtr hoc n
new orders to Admiral Badger since
the Mexican gunboats were reported
to be leaving Puerto Mexico. The
department has at no time contem.
plated furnishing convoy to the An
tilla or any other ship, nor have any
orders to that effect been issued.
No Warning Of Blockade.
"No word whatever has been re.
ceived as to whether or not the war.
ships of other nations have been mott.
fed of the blockade at Tampico or
what their attitude would be toward
such a blockade. There has been no
change in the policy of the govern
ment in reference to it's desire that
the port of Tampico shall be open
to all commerce"
AS to whether "all commerce" in
this instance includes contraband OF
war no official of the government will
discuss. So far as is known the only
orders relating to Tampico that have
been issued went to Admiral Badger
on May Is in the form of a message
informing him that, while it was not
believed that Huerta gunboats would
return to Tampico, it was deemed ad
visable that the commanders Of Amer
lean naval vessels understand that the
government desired that there be nc
interference with commerce at that
port.
That an attempt to carry out the
Huerta blockade decree will be made
was indicated by Rear Admiral Bad
ger In report to the navy depart
ment, announcing that the Mexican
gunboats Zaragosa and Bravo, which
left Puerto Mexico, had passed Vera
Cruz and were steaming toward Tam
pico.
The American cruiser Tacoma and
gunboat Sacramento are following the
Huerta ships
