DEMAND EIGHr-HoUR DAY

San Francisco.-Several thousand
culinary workers, bartenders, bakers
and musicians are unemployed as the
result of a strike by culinary workers
to enforce an eight hour demand and
because of lockout by the Restau-
rant>Men's association, which has de-
clared for the non-union shop. The
workers charge the so-called Flaw and
order" committee of the chamber of
commerce with being responsible for
present conditions, because of inter-
ference in mediation proceedings.

All the arrangements are complete
for the Labor Day celebration, with
the exception of a few minor details,
and the event, as usual will be one of
real holidays of Boise From glancing
at our exchanges it is evident that
Labor Day is to be more generally
observed throughout America this
year than ever before and the reason
is plain. The progress of labor's
cause during the past decade has ever
been at an increasing geometrical
progression and labor finds more and
more cause for rejoicing and celebrat-
ing.
The time was when labor unions
were antagonized by the employing
class on general principles, but now
collective bargaining is taken as a
matter of course by the large ma
jority of employers. There are only
few of the old reactionary employ
ers left, as the benefits of shorter
hours and commensurate pay have
been demonstrated by the co-opera-
ton of progressive employers with la
Dor unions.
The fight for union principles has
been long and bitter one and there
is much yet to be accomplished, but
all the evidence points to complete
victory. This knowledge will be the
basis of the enthusiasm which will
be displayed in Boise and in all other
places on Labor Day.

SHERMAN'S ATTACK ON SAM'L
GOMPERS

Lawrence Y. Sherman, a United
States Senator from Illinois, during
the week made a vicious attack upon
Samuel Gompers in the Senate. Mr..
Sherman is of that class of special
interest serving politicians who is an
tagonistic to labor unonism on prin-
ciple. 1t is the class that has largely
brought the Republican party into dis
repute in the labor world and which is
responsible for the reactionary tend
encies of that organization, despite
the progressive work of such other
leaders as La Toilette and in lesser
degree Roosevelt and Cummins.
An attack upon Gompers is an at
tack upon unionism itself for Mr..
Gompers is one of the most trusted of
the labor leaders and the confidence
reposed in him by the rank and file
of organized labor has been justified
upon so many occasions that it may
be regarded as a settled condition.
Senator Sherman's remarks as printed
in the press dispatches consisted solely
in abusive epithets and merited no
response, although Mr.. Gompers has
dignified them by a courteous reply |
Mr.. Gompers was denounced as a ty- +
rant in the labor field and as a men
ace to Americas progress. AS what
ever power Mr.. Gompers possesses |
comes from the confidence and good |
will of the members of the organZa-
ton of which he is the head-and as |
the principles for which he stands are |
the principles of organized labor it
will be seen that Senator Sherman's
quarrel is not with Mr.. Gompers, the .
individual, but with organized labor |
itself. 1t is fresh evidence of the real
opinion OF that element of American |
public life of which Leslie's Weekly /
is the most outspoken champion and
which is justly termed the reaction
airy element. 1t is an element that /
would conduct modern States and
modern society upon the outgrown
laws of the past age. 1t is a n element /
that would seek to make the individual
workingman the prey of the employer,
without any regard to the modern
complex machinery which makes col I
1ective bargaining by labor fully or
gained absolutely essential to the
welfare OF the worker and the pro-
gress of humanity.
Senator Sherman's outburst will be
beneficial as it will tend to draw
closer the bonds of unionism and will
demonstrate who are the avowed en-
emies of organized labor An open I
foe is more to be respected and is less
liable to do harm than is a secret one, h
and hitherto it has been the policy of
men Of the stamp of Sherman to cloak
their hatred of unionism in a garment
of can't Senator Sherman is to be
praised for coming out into the open.
His real opinions have undoubtedly
been known to his close adherents ,
and the fact that he was Illinois ia ,
vorite son for the Presidential nomi-
nation demonstrates how strong the :
special interests are in the public $
councils.
