the Department of Agriculture and has
discussed with the Secretary and the
various officials there ways and means
for improving general agricultural con-

Senator Camden believes that the CO.

Discussing his purposes, he said:
Kentucky to be Farming State.

TWO POINTS OF VIEW.
Who Had the Happier Lot, the Lady or
the Laborer7

the Laborer7
A Fashionable Woman, coming from
the Opera in the rosy nest of Limou-
sine passed a group Of Laborers at
midnight. Machines, like terrible Ami
mails, were burrowing into the Earth.
Steam was kissing as If from the
mouths of a million Serpents Rocks
flew in every direction Torchlights
famed. There was the thunder of La
Dor. The Night Shift was in full swing.
And the Woman, glancing from the
window at certain Workman, for an
instant thought:
How wish | had that brawny La
borer's strength and Joy of Life! How
| envy him his Power, his physical per.
fection, the wonder of his Manhood,
his freedom from the Shackles that
bind me. He is his own master, while
| am a slave-the slave OF a Man
despisew
at that moment the Laborer paused
long enough by the deep Chasm where
his Engine rocked to glance into the
Motor as 1t sped by him. And he
thought:
"Oh, to be like her! To know Leisure
and Wealth and Rest To be free from
Drudgery and Toll to come and go as
l pleased! To throw off the chains Of
Debt and Worry and have the days
and nights stretch ahead of me like a
Field of Flowersr'
But In another instant the Motor was
gone. The Torchlights fared brighter
than ever. And each had forgotten the
other. Charles Hanson Towne, In
Judge.

President of the itinerant Workers
Union Defines Its Objects.
JEFF Davis. international president OF
the ltinerant Workers union. was Civ
en- the privilege of the floor at one Of
the sessions of the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention.
In witty, snappy speech, III hobo
lingo full of epigrams, switching for
moments into pathos and political
science he offered the services Of his
organization to the American Fedora
tion of Labor. advocated universal
eight hour day as ii solution OF the
problem Of the unemployed and plead
ed the cause of the down and cutters.
When the hobo king tried to stop
talking though it was fortyhye min
utes past adjournment time, he was
urged TO 20 on. Gales of laughter
greeted his humorous statements and
a sympathetic silence his flights of
emotion.
For one thousand years. he de-
clared. society has been investigating
the hobo. Now the hobo is fnvestigat
ing society.
"A hobo is Il man out Of job, who
wants work and will work under right
conditions.
"A tramp is man who doesn't work
and won't work If 1t is given him.
"A bum is man who couldn't work
IL he would.
Stray cats and stray dogs get some
attention. but stray men get none
THE authorities arrest us for va
grancy and give us hard work with
little food and comfort
''We are lining up all those who will
work on our side in an effort to get
society to recognize that we exist and
to grapple with the problem.
Congressman Frank Buchanan Is a
member OF our organization. and we
have his support for the repeal Of the
vagrancy laws. He was once a hobo
and is a member OF the organization.
Davis declared that his organization
was chartered In Indiana and that
100000 men already had taken the
'hoboes' oath" which pledged them
to help those who help themselves, re-
turn runaway children to their homes
and never take another mans job.

Industrial Accidents.

In an address before the A. Z. of L.
convention in recent session at Phila-
delphia Lewis T. Bryant. New Jersey
commissioner of labor. declared that
the establishment of sanitary and
wholesome working conditions was of
as much Importance to the workmen
as was the fight for higher wages and
shorter hours.
He said complete list of statistics
showing the loss of life in this country
from industrial accidents and disease
would show totals far more appalling
than the losses in the present Euro
pean war Out OF a normal industrial
army Of 36,000,O00 said Mr.. Bryant.
there were about 100000 incapacitat-
ed for full service. aud one third Of the
number suffering from preventable
causes and another third through
causes probably controllable.

LABOR IN CONGRESS.
Membership Increased as a Result of
the Recent Elections.


Unofficial reports to A. +. of l.. head
quarters indicate that the Labor group
OF the Sixty-third congress is not only
reelected. with the exception Of Rob.
ert e. Lee, Blacksmiths' union, Penn

In the election of Mahlon NJ. Garland
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers union
Pennsylvania; Carl Z. Van Dyke,
Brotherhood of Railway Postal Clerks,
Minnesota, and John g. Cooper, Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, Ohio
1t Is quite probable that when official
returns are published this number will
be increased and the incoming con
gress will have larger aud still more
effective group insisting on legislation
for the workers.
Another feature is the reelection OF
a large number of congressman who,
although not members OF trade unions,
have in the past been friendly ana
helpful In securing labor legislation
There have also been elected for the
first time large number of congress
men who have declared themselves as
favorable to the demand OF labor for
statutes in the interest of justice and
humanity.

What Happened to worker Who Gd-
vertised For Job.
An unemployed machinist of st.
Louis. despairing of finding work by
any other means, paraded the streets
carrying q sandwich sign as follows:
Chief Young wants 300 more policemen
to stop increasing crimes.
What shall I do?
No work, no money four motherless
children to feed.
Shall l steal commit highway robbery
or kill myself and children?
One thousand are in the same position
In this city today.
Enormous luxury: enormous poverty.
What shall ! do?
He was advertising himself, the only
commodity he had to sell. Other ad-
vertisements were being carried around
the city in the same manner, but or
ganized societys answer to his was to
throw him into jail. He blocked traf-
&c by causing crowd to collect.
New York city had an epidemic of
jailing seekers after work in uncon-
ventional fashion last winter That
treatment didn't solve the problem
The authorities now are aware that
the unemployment problem will be
more acute this winter than last-so
acute that all the charity and relief
reasonably to be counted on will not
meet the need Enormous luxury;
enormous poverty"-and what most OF
the poor ask is chance to work for
wages sufficient TO enable them to
keep on living in the way to which
they are accustomed. Jailing insistent
applicants for work and relieving
meeker ones will not wash society &
