TERSELY DEFENDS PICKETING.

San Francisco, Cal.-James w. Null
len, editor of the Labor Clarion, in ad-
dressing the San Francisco Center of
the California Civic League defended
picketing in the following terse force
full and logical language:
"The proposed anti-picketing ordi-
nance has for its purpose denial to the
large workers of equal rights, as free
American citizens, and of their liberties
as workers in industry and commerce.
The right to picket is essential to Sc
curing an understanding or even hearing
in many an industrial dispute" contin-
ued Mullen. THE proposed measure
would take away from the workers their
most effective means of getting facts
before the public, and for placing fellow
workers in a position intelligently to de-
eide upon their attitude toward the strike
or lockout There can be nothing illegal
or wrong in securing hearing for the
facts in strike. Therefore. as citizens
they have a right to use the streets, side
walks, public highways, or public places
for this legitimate activity necessary for
furthering the welfare of human beings.
This right is guaranteed by the consti-
tuition of the United States"

SAYS STRIKERS ARE FOOLS

New York Striking street car men
are circulating a decision made by Mag
istrate Kochendorfer, of Long Island
City in case involving one of the strik-
ers.
The strike was forced on the men
when they discovered the companies had
violated an agreement that the union
would not be interfered with and were
compelling employees to sign individual
contracts.
Magistrate Kochendorfer ignored the
facts in the case and expressed his opin-
ion of trade union officials and strikers
in general in the following manner:
In my opinion you are simply mis-
guided fools, and if | could only have
before me the strike agitators, who, by
Representations, led you poor, un-
fortunate men into financial ruin,
would deal with them as their cases war
rant.
1T is unfortunate that we cannot have
upon the statute books some law which
makes 1t crime for agitators, for
large salary or o.her consideration, to
go about among you laboring men and
mlSrepresent matters to such an extent
as to lead you to leave your employ
ment.
Now you have lost your jobs and are
out of work. ! do not know that YOU
can go back with the railroad company
again, and if you cannot-it is your own
fault
ut is about time you workingmen real
lied that strike agitators are not taking
any real interest in the laboring men. 1t
is about time you realized that. Every
one else in the community realizes it.
After you lose your jobs. and the strike
is over, and you cannot go back, you do
not find strike agitators standing on the
street corners telling you how you can
get work again Their job is completed.
They got you out. The strike is over
and they go back to their families and
you go out walking the streets looking
for job. 1t is about time you realized
that"
New York.-The 1000 striking street
car men in this city have appealed to
Gov Whitman to use the power of his
office land personal influence to adjust
the present difficulty with the street rail-
way companies and this great army of
men now on strike which will relieve
the decentralization that is now existing
on the traffic lines of Greater New York
and vicinity.
The employees state that they are strik-
ing for the right of organization the

recognized by the law of the land.

HARRINGTON PUBLIC LIBRARY
GETS MANY GOOD BOOKS

In spite Of the very inclement wea-
Their Tuesday the Pennington Public
Library was launched with donations
of nearly one hundred and fifty books.
The School Board had given one of
the rooms in the High School for Ii
brary uses, and the U. d. c. had fur
nished a rug, a table and some book
shelves from the fund raised by them
at a couple of entertainments. Invi-
tations were issued for Library Tea
to be held last Tuesday, in the after
noon from to and in the evening
from to 10, and an offering of one
worthwhile book was desired. The
books received were nearly all of that
character, and the Library Board is
very much gratified over the response
to their invitation.
During the afternoon a musical
program was furnished by the pupils
of the High School, and in the even
ing by a string orchestra consisting
of Messrs. Nations, Isenman, Keith
and Francisco Punch was served
during both sessions.
Arrangements have been made with
Prof. Johns to receive donations OF
books at all times, and during March,
committee will be there on Tuesday
and Saturday afternoons from three
to five to receive and classify the
books. 1t is hoped that early in
April the books will be ready to cir
culate.
1t is most worthy and commenda-
Bile effort that is being made to es-
tablish a public library in Farming
ton, and everybody should help. Send
in some worthwhile books.

which he spent with Mrs. Wells and
daughter, Miss Georgia, who are Wis
ting at the ranch of Mrs. Wells IA
ther, near Pueblo. Mr.. Wells reports
the health of both wife and daughter
as being greatly improved, and they
will remain there two or three months
longer in hopes of receiving addition
al benefit from that high altitude.
The name of Lawrence o. Wells APP
pears in this issue Of The Times as
candidate for denomination as the
Democratic candidate for Assessor of
st. Francois County, subject to the
action Of the voters at the August
primary. Mr.. Wells has filled the Of
flee of Assessor for the past four
years in a manner that has met with
the hearty appreciation of all citizens
who are in favor of just and equi-
table assessment. While he has not
been permitted to go as far as he
would like in correcting the inequali-
ties that have long existed in the
method by which the small property
holder is compelled to pay larger
rate of taxes than the larger proper
ty holder, he is the first to make any
material advance in that direction.
That his official record the past four
years entities him to denomination
is the claim Of his host of friends,
and it does not at this time appear
that he will have any opposition for
that place from the ranks of the
Democratic party.
