COLORADO MINE OPERATORS
CRITICISED BY PROF. CLARK
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY TEACHER
DEFENDS TRADE UNIONS
Declares Strikebreaker Evil Makes Vio-
lence Inevitable and Argues Such
Methods Be Made Impracticable.

If there is a sounder, better informed,
more moderate thinker on economics
than John Bates Clark, professor of po-
litical economy at Columbia University,
he is not especially easy to find. Those
conservatives who think criticism of the
mine operators emanates wholly from
noisy and professional agitators might
enjoy Professor Clark's article in Busi-
ness America for June.
He thinks the crisis in Colorado twas
due to wholly justifiable impulse ON the
part of the miners to make for them
selves certain gains which union has Sc
cured for miners elsewhere and some of
which the law OF Colorado guarantees" !"
Nor does this movement mean that the
country is drifting into anarchy. "On
the contrary, the general success of
trade. unions affords nearly the strong
est protection against that really men,
acing tendency
Mr.. Clark is not special pleader. He
does not excuse violence even in a just
cause. He does maintain, however, that
the strikebreaker evil makes violence
almost inevitable and argues that
strikebreaking gangs. secured temporar-
lily at high prices, should be made i'm
practicable. "A corporation that, when
its men are striking for 81 day, will
pay to other men 81 in order to break
the back of strike, deserves to be
forced to give to its original employees
the S4 rate. 1t would be entirely equit-
able to make the amount that is given
to the emergency gang the minimum
that must be given to the permanent
force"
That is for the capitalist class to
smoke. There is something for certain
radicals to smoke also Professor Clark
thinks anarchy really threatens us
now. The way out is through labor
unions, but with machinery for publicity
and impartial decision of rights in la
Dor disputes. II unions accept these de-
cisions union men should have the jobs;
otherwise, non-union men protected by
the government. Such is the view that

MR.. WILSON'S BIG OPPORTUNITY.

When General Grant took his chair as
President of the United States General
Sherman wrote him:
you are now Washington's legitimate
successor and occupy a position of~al-
most dangerous elevation. But if you
continue, as heretofore, to be yourself
simple, honest and npretending-you
will enjoy through life the respect and
love of friends and the homage of mil
lions of human beings"
In this crucial time, when the war is
in the air respecting Mexico and the
rights and lives of human beings are be-
ing violated in Colorado, let President
Wilson remember that he is the legit
innate successor of Lincoln, whose heart
was as great as the world,r and who
declared labor to be the superior of cap
ital and that 'to secure to each laborer
the full product of his labor. or as near.
ly as possible, is a worthy object of any
government"
President Wilson has n wonderful op.
portunity to establish himself as the
champion of common humanity.

ELITCH'S GARDENS.

The Elitch-Long stock company will
return to the presentation of light com
edy during the week that starts Sunday
evening, July 10. The play will be
"Your Neighbor's Wife" which had one
OF the biggest runs of any recent piece
in New York. Bruce McRae will be the
leading man and Miss That's Magrane
the leading woman. The company will
still include all the other favorites. Per
formances will be given every evening
at s:l5 and on Wednesday and Satur-
day afternoons at Pals.
The comedy of "Your Neighbor's
Wife" grows out of the efforts of two
men, neighbors, to trade wives. One of
these men is n clean, neat. hard working
chap, who has a slovenly, lazy wife. The
other man is an artist-a lazy, incompe-
tent and untidy person; but he has a
neat. energetic mate. When the men
try to perfect plan for swapping their
wives the fun starts, and it never stops
until the final curtain. Every speech is
bright and sparkling. The play will be
uncommonly well acted.

OVERTIME TO SEE BOSS PLAY.

Wilson Barrett used to tell an anus

give them a treat, he asked If. after
work one evening, they would like to
have seats to go and see him play in
"The Lights o London" at the Princess

They said they didn't mind if they
did, and being complimentary tickets,
all went on Saturday night to see
their employers performance.
AT the end of the week Barrett's eye
caught sight of this item against each

BUCHANAN WINS STRUGGLE
TO PROTECT LIFE AND LIMB
LABOR CONGRESSMAN SECURES
ENACTMENT OF MODEL LAW.
Affords Protection For Building Crafts
men in District of Columbia and
Laws Regulating Contractors.

Representative Buchanan, member
of the Labor group in Congress. and
former president of the International
Iron Workers Union, has won his battle
to amend the laws for better protection
to building craftsmen in the District of
Columbia. Last week the House OF
Representatives suspended the rules and
passed the bill by an overwhelming
vote.
The law is believed to be model for
future legislation that has for its pur-
pose the protection of life and limb to
workers in the erection of buildings. All
scaffolding and platforms will be re.
quired to bear four times the maximum
weight required. and the inspector Of
buildings shall be Immediately notified
by workmen of any defect or sign OF
weakness. This information shall be
treated as confidential. Strict regula-
tions are provided for the running of
elevators and hosting machines, and it
shall be unlawful to use these unless the
holes or openings on each floor shall be
closed to a heighth of at least six feet.
False floors are provided for on every
floor, and fines ranging from $50 to $500
and imprisonment from three months to
two years, are penalties for violations
of this act.
Representative Buchanan has attracted
attention the past few weeks by his
determination to unwind Congressional
red tape and secure the passage of this
bill. For several days he conducted a
filibuster and compelled the House to
spend much time on roll calls by raising
points of order. On one occasion the
acting speaker of the House called the
trade unionist to the chair, believing
this would silence him and permit the
House to pass the huge appropriation
bill, then under consideration. But the
iron worker took advantage of his new
position TO make history, and for the
first time in the annals of the House Of
Representatives. presiding officer was
heard TO announce there was no quorum
present and another roll call was
ordered A 'gentlemen's agreement" 4"
followed by a suspension OF the rules,
resulted in the bills passage.

JOB FINISHED WITHOUT BAGpIPEs.

One of the first building strikes In
London is recalled by the announces
ment that the demolition of the Tivoli
will involve interference with the Adel-
phi arches. 1t was on the construction
of these arches that the Adams Brothers
employed Scotch workmen (they were,
of course, themselves Scots), and intro
duced bagpipes to encourage them in
their task. The canny Scots discovered
that this resulted in too much work be-
ing done for the money, and strike
was declared against the bagpipes. The
Adams sent workmen and bagpipes back
to the north of the Tweed. and the
work was completed without music) by
Irishmen.
