THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE

Tune "The Old Oaken Bucket"
How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood
When fond recoections present them to view
The church. and the store and the school in the wild
wood,
And all the loved spots that my infancy knew
Last summer wandered again to the village,
But found not a neighbo of old or his spouse;
The streets deserted the farms needed tillage
The town had been killed by the maiorder house.
The village had vanished when merchants were ban
shed
But one lone survivor, scared a rabbit
found, and asked why the village dead.
"The town got the mal-order catalog habit,
And that was what killed it forever" he said
at not war, epidemic or piage,
No foeman's invasion robbers carouse:
The money that should have developed the village
Was all sent away to the maiorder house
The money earned here-never returned here
When once it to the mail-order house."
-Erchange.

BILL WILL MILITARIZE
NEW ZEALAND WORKERS

Wellington, New Zealand, Aug. q
The Massey-Ward bill for Prussianiz-
ing New Zealand is before parliament.
If it is passed, a system of almost alb
solute militarism will be established
here. The new bill destroys democ-
racy and sets up a monstrous mill
tary rule.
Under its provisions parliament is
stripped of many of it's important
functions, the cabinet is made a dan
gerous oligarchy, and the functions
of the court martial are extended.
The bill converts the honest, con-
scientious objector or critic of the
government into a criminal and con
fronts him with the threat Of death
for his actions or utterances.
The bill provides for compulsory
CONSUMPTION, and Jail terms for those
who resist such drafts may be made.
Every boy of twenty or over would be
forced to serve.
Against these efforts to Prussianize
New Zealand, and to take from the
workers their hard-earned liberty, the
entire labor movement is fighting one
of it's bitterest battles, and it is pre-
pared to fight to the last ditch.

GIRL CIGARMAKERS STRIKE

Detroit, Mch.-The strike of non
union cigarmakers has spread to II
shops and now includes over 1000
employees, mostly women and girls,
who are demanding higher wages,
abolition of the filming system and the
many schemes by which they are
compelled to make cigars without
pay.
The American Federation of Labor,
the Cigarmakers' International union
and the local trade union movement
are giving these workers every pos
sible aid.
Several years ago number of cigar
companies formed a combination to
devise methods to secure labor at the
lowest possible cost. This resulted in
such Conditions that the executive
council of the A. F. of L., under in
structions of the Philadelphia con-
ventiOn, assigned a representative to
investigate. 1t was found that the
companies started a school in which
female students were taught a part
of the cigar trade.
In order that the school might be
self-supporting, they made it a cigar
factory and named it the Detroit Ideal
Cigar company. Young girls were
compelled to sign an agreement to
learn whatever part of the cigar trade
was assigned to them, to work 35
days without pay and to pay the COM
pany SIS in advance for such instruc-
ton, besides furnishing their own
tools. If they could not pay SIS in
advance, they paid Sc in installments.
After SO days these girls were given
positions in the various factories.
Here they work six months for GER
tificate of 81 per week payable at the
expiration of six months, on condi-
ton that they work steadily during
this time. If an employe, on account
of illness or other Interpretation,
worked a day less than the time re-
CURED, the company wuold refuse to
cash the 81 certificates.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
WON'T BREAK STRIKES

Washington.-The United States
department of labor cannot be useC
to break strikes.
This is the essence of a statement
issued by Secretary of Labor Wilson
to all officers and employees of the
department "who are connected in
any way with the work of labor dis
tribution."
The former secretary of the United
Mine Workers Union shows he is
fully alive to the purposes of the law
creating this department, ito foster,
promote and develop the welfare of
the wage earners of the United
States, to improve their working con
ditions and advance their opportun-
tiles for profitable employment"
He says it is not deemed advisable
to publish or in any manner prOmul-
gate information concerning workmen
wanted where a strike exists or is
threatened, and that the department
of labor is authorized to promote in
dustrial peace rather than industrial
disturbance. To furnish information
in times of strike, he says, would be
simply sending people from where
there is a surplus of labor to places
where there is already a sufficient
supply of labor.
when a strike exists or is threat
ened it is prima facie evidence that
the workers who have had experience
in that employment do not look upon
it as being profitable, and that they
are persons qualified to do the work
is evidenced by the fact that they
have been doing it.
The department of labor cannot be
made the medium through which in
formation may be conveyed which
may induce workers to accept en-
ployment where there is already a
sufficient supply of labor, and where
either result in their being dismissed
from the service they have accepted,
or will leave other workers who have
been on strike unemployed.
Nor can it be a party to inducing
men to accept employment where
their presence will act as a disturb
ing rather than a peacemaking fac
tor"

NEW ALABAMA LAW
MAKES STRIKING A CRIME

Admission, Ala, Aug 3.-Workers
who decide to go on strike here will
be committing crime, for which they
may be punished by a six months
Jail term at hard labor, under the new
law just passed by the city council
This law provides that one man may
quit his Job, or strike, but if two or
more persons "conspire for the pur-
pose of preventing any other employe
from working for a firm, corporation
or person, or preventing such firm,
corporation or person from carrying
on any lawful business or interfering
with same" they will be considered
as law breakers who are liable to i'm
prsonment
To stop the possibility of having
some judge apply this law to others
than workers, the council has inserted
provision protecting business, read
ing as follows: Nothing herein shall
prevent any person from soliciting
trade or business for competitive
business"
1t is also made criminal to "entice,
decoy or persuade any apprentice or
servant to leave the service or en-
ployment of his master"
Labor men here are aroused to &C
ton by this drastic blow at their
rights. This new attack on the work
ers follows closely upon a decision
of the United States supreme court
declaring another outrageous law
directed against the workers as il
| legal
1t was some time ago that this state
invented a principle and passed a law
under which an employer could hold
any person, once entering into his en-
ployment, to serve as long as the en-
ployer pleased. Should worker
strike or attempt to leave the job
boss wanted to keep him at work, it
was possible to hale the worker into
court and get judge to sentence him
to prison.
Organized labor fought the case bit
terly through the state courts, and
finally brought the matter before the
country's highest tribunal, where the
toilers won a sweeping victory. In
effect, the United States supreme
court declared the principle wrong
and the law absolutely unconstitu
tional.
Now that the Admission city council
has taken it upon itself to fix things
so that one man may quit, but that
disconnected workers may not strike
in body, it is likely that labor will
again take up the fight to have the
courts nullify this vicious attempt to
make striking a crime.
