to become dissatisfied with the
strike and return to wcrk. We be-
lieve tnat the men on strike are not
going back to work until they are
granted the eight hour day with
no reduction in pay. We are told
that the factories are sending out
their lieutenants among the men
the same as they did in the strike
of 1901. These lieutenants use
evlry possi1l means to get the men
stampeded and if a bare faced lie
answers their purpose better than

hand it out. But the men are not

Machine Children Not Good
Citizens.

Syracuse, N. Y, Nov. 5.-Vo-
cational training that teaches only
shop work and makes the child a
mere machine is rot needed in this
country, even though it is favored
by most manufactucturers and EN-
ployers of labor dec ared Prof. Ro-
man of the Syracuse, unive1 Sit v in
an address before the Schoolmas-
ter club. The educator pointed
out the difference between a child
that has been developed into an
efficient machine and one who pos
sesses knowledge of those things
that result in citizenship as we'll as
manual skill
There has been a tendency"
he said, lin some states to force
upon the vocational school a curri-
culum that makes an eficient ma
chine olt of the child. The coun-
try does not need that kind of edu
cation. We are how producing
more goods than ever before in the
history of the nation. Wealth is
piling up faster. Everything is
materialistic. The question is "how
can we make more goods and get
more money
IF the vocational school is to
meet the problem of the future
welfare of this country: it must
give we'll balanced training, 1t
must teach the child the principles
Of democracy, citizenship, govern
ment and the proper use of its spare
time and collective bargaining. AS
the volumn of production has In
creased the workers hours have
decreased. Ignorant of his civic
duties and the fundamentals of
good government, the workers are
easy prey for the demagogue."

A Familiar Declaration.

Worcester, Mass, Nov s.
Professional agitstors' are at
work among working people of this
city for the purpose of changing
conditions of employment, de
clares the Employers association
of Worcester county, which has
voted to stand together fJr the So
called open shop" 1t is stated
that 100 employers are members of
the association and these gentlemen
are quite sure that professional
agitators" are responsiole for work
ers demanding an eight hour day
and better working conditions. So
the manufacturers announce their
faith in non un1onism and to create
the opinion that reign of terror is
imminent, they pledge protection
to all employees who "desire to con-
tinue as free and independent
workers"
The resolutions are identical with
hundreds of similar declara ions
by men who cant understand why
their workers should not be con
tented but who insist on shorter
work day that can only be secured
through collective action.

OF Judge Swami for District Attorney at
a meeting OF lawyers at % Cedar street

what everybody said at the time. that
Judge Swami was elected to the Court
OF General Sessions by grace Of Charles
+. Murphy. His knowledge of the rules
OF evidence and of criminal law is quite
limited.
1T would be a great practical folly
and "A great moral calamity II the voters
turned the office over TO Tammany Hall
and turned out the best equipped and
most experienced and trustworthy man
hat could he found In the whole
county. The possibilities in the Dis
trict Attorneys office Of corrupt manip-
ulation, of favoring political friends and
furnishing political enemies are i'm
measurable"
George w. Wickersham, chairman of
the meeting. also spoke harshly OF
Judge Swami. describing him "as a re-
spectacle nonentity. exactly the kind OF
man whom TaJnmany always seeks to
cover its own reputation"
Thus far Judge Swami has made no
campaign speeches. lie says he In too
busy with court work.
