EXPOSE FAKE BENEVOLENCE

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS welfare
work" is handled in the following
vigorous maner by the United Mine
| Workers Journal:
Large employers Of labor who, in
the language of John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., preserve the liberty of their en-
ployers' by prosecuting such of them
who dare to show an inclination to
place himself and his fellow workers
in position to demand just treatment,
through organization, are ever long
on what they are pleased to call
'benevolence,' as a substitute for just
treatment.
I'VE have heard of their sick and
accident funds, which prove on exami-
nation to be supported by the en-
ployes themselves, with margin left
for the company or their favored en-
ployes who manage such fund; also,
we find, that in order that they may
receive the benefit provided by the
fund they have subscribed to it is
generally demanded of them that they
give the company clearance of re-
sponsibility for the cause of the dis
ablement
Their free CD hospitals are gen.
orally a graft on the envelope of the
employees. Their cheap lunch rooms
another source of revenue to which
the unfortunate who work in their fac
tories are forced to subscribe. Their
doctors are assured pay from the en-
velopes, and give Indifferent attention.
And then, they have their annual ex-
cursions.
1T is while enjoying this munifi-
cence of the employers that they are
expected to show to the outside world
how happy they are in their service;
to sing in unison Let us keep our
proper stations; Bless the squire and
his relations while the wicked agi-
tator for unionism stands aloof, and
impotent."

LOSSES IN TIMES OF PEACE.

SAN FRANCISCO-"While we stand
appalled, at the enormous loss Of life
and treasure which has been going on
in Europe in the past twelve months
we should not forget the victims of
the deadly conflict constantly going
on in our own peaceful land" declared
President Willet to the National AS.
ISOLATION Of Life Underwriters, in con.
vention in this city. statistics tell
us that $4,000 lives are annually de-
stroyed in the United States by dis.
eases of the preventable class. The
annual economic loss from this source
is estimated at s1,500,O00, or six
times the amount of our fire loss"

WILL REDUCE CHILD LABOR

PHILADELPHIA monthly bull
letin of the Pennsylvania Manufactur-
ers' Association predicts that more
than 81 per cent of the child labor
of this state will be eliminated be-
cause of the new child labor law,
passed by the recent legislature. The
paper canvassed 1000 manufacturers.
The main reason for the dismissals
is the clause in the new law which
requires eight hours of education each
week. The records of the department
of labor and industry at Harrisburg
show that 1880 minors are employed
in Pennsylvania and, according to the
association, $4,000 of them will be leg
islated out of employment on January
l. Including stores and offices the
bulletin predicts that $4,000 children
will be affected.
These figures will be increased to
$4,000 says the report, because of
laws regulating street trades. The
manufacturers opposed the law and
now they make this mournful COM
ment: industrious and often needy
families throughout the state will have
lost $11,000000 a year"

LARKIN TO SPEAK HERE TUESDAY!

James Larkin who is to speak in
the Peoples Theatre, Tuesday even
ing, Aug. 81, has looked out over
the world and seen no lines between
him and his brother workers. Color
and race he does not recognize In the
great class STRUGGLED is class and
class he sees opposed on the firing
line of life.
Jim Larkin speaks out from the
shoulder. He is an orator, not the
kind of orator that tries to cover up
the iniquities of the present system,
but whose blood boils when he speaks
of these things and the words come
out of his mouth red hot and sting
ing, for he sees the poverty and mis-
cry on the one hand and the riches
and unearned ease on the other. He

NEED NOT TAKE RISK.

TRENTON, N. J.-Justice Kalisch
of the state supreme court has ruled
that human being is not compelled
to take a risk of death, however
slight, in order that the money obliga-
tons created by law in a workmans
favor may be minimized.
This decision was made in the case
Of a worker who was injured while in
the employ of a railroad. A serious
case of hernia developed and in the
suit for damages the worker was only
allowed partial compensation by the
lower court, which sustained the COM
pany in its claim that an operation
would cure the worker in six months
The case was appealed to the SUI
preme court and the railroad attor-
neys again quoted medical reports to
show that out of $4,000 operations for
hernia only 4S have proved fatal Jus
tice Kalisch dissented from the views
of the lower court and rejected the
companys position The court ruled
that even though the peril to life
seems slight, the worker is not re-
quired to submit to an operation to
minimize the liability OF the company
under the employers liability law.

$1,000 BLIND IN THE U. S.

WASHINGTON are $1,000
blind persons in the United States, ac-
cording to figures issued by the fed
eral census department. This is a
ratio of 62.3 to every 100000 of popu-
lation. The report states that blind
ness has, apparently, decreased mark
eddy among the younger classes of
American population in the last fifty
years; that blindness is far more
prevalent among men than women
women; that it is more prevalent
among Indians and colored people than
among native whites; and that ap-
proximately one-half the blind report
ed in 1910 were sixty years of age or
over.
In the United States blindness is
most prevalent in New Mexico and
Nevada, in which states the ratio Of
the blind to total population in 1910
were 1898 to 100000 and 1855 to 100.
900, respectively. The high ratios for
these states are due to the fact that
Indians, among whom trachoma is of
frequent occurrence in those sections
of the country, constitute relatively
large elements in their population.
