Er-cdom of Speech, Justice and the

I Es-ndom of Speech, Justice and the
Right to Organize:
In the course of a recent interview
by New York World reporter, VIII;
liam D. Mahon, president Of the Anal

and Railway Employees, told the fol
lowing story:
1--WE had strike out in Indiana a
while ago." he said, "and left 1t to
arbitration, as we always aim to do
This time, however, the arbitrator
gave us the worst of it. To do my
best l couldn't wiring from the board
any concessions that seemed worth
while, and / dreaded to report to the
union. The union had been recognize
ed, told them, but the pay could not
be raised that year. l simply told the
facts and asked them how they felt
about it and waited. One Of the Oldest
men In the service jumped to the floor.
'Hoorayr he yelled. I'm a free
man. I've been a slave twenty-five
years. I've cringed and lied and been
traitor to myself because l had to
be. couldn't talk in favor of union,
l knew I'd be fired if did. A raise In
pay might come handy to a lot of us,
but it amt in 1t with being free Tears
were streaming down his face, and l
guess they were down mine. All Of US

ery-this depriving man of his funda-
mental rights, free speech and united
action--that is the worst thing about
the situation wherever rapid transit
employees are not organized The pay
here in New York is the worst Of any
large city know. But the intimida-
tion of the men is worse yet"

Trade Union Movement Has an lmpor-
tant Duty to Perform.
The sweatshop saps the vitality Of
the humblest worker in the industries;
it deprives him of fresh air and sun
light; it is a breeding place of conta-
gious disease. The white plague,
known as tuberculosis, fourishes In

the mental and physical development
of the children. 1t is a national dis

Zation.
The work in the sweatshop COM
mences early in the morning and ends
late in the evening. There is no clos
ing hour. 1t is perpetual grind en-
quilted in helpless and hopeless in
dustrial abyss.
The trade union movement has an
imperative duty to perform. The wage
slaves toiling in the sweatshops of the
country have to be rescued from the
inferno in which their spirits are
crushed, their health sacrificed. The
lowest paid and hardest pressed work
ers in the social scale are entitled to
full consideration. 1t is of equal i'm
portance to the general welfare to save
the sweatshop toiler from destruction
and raise the wages of the best paid
workers.
In the state of New York, where the
sweating system in the tenement
houses is growing constantly, the ad-
verse decisions of the courts in past
years have nullifed legislation tending
to eliminate this growing evil Moth
ing short of a constitutional amend
ment by the legislature and organiza
ton seems able to prevent the continu-
alton and extension of these dens of in
fanny and degradation. Cigarmakers'

Year of Strikes.

There were 3.160 strikes and los
lockouts during 1916 in the United
States. Probably there were more
strikes than in 1916, although there
were less lockouts. The employers won
In All and the employees in 706 strikes,
70 were arbitrated and 542 compromis-
ed. Practically every occupation was
involved somewhere "The year 1916"
says an expert of the federal bureau of
labor statistics, will long be remem-
bered as the year Of strikes. The scare
ity of labor and the rapid increase in
the cost of living seem to have caused
wage earners to feel that they were not
getting their share Of the present pros
perity ard to show their discomfort by
striking. Higher wages and shorter
hours were the causes Of twO-thirds of
the strikes last year, while large pro
portion of the remainder was due to
causes connected with unionization."

Pennsylvania Operators Grant Increase
to Bituminous Workers.

Concessions which will mean an in

In addition to an advance in wages
for all classes Of labor ranging between
20 and go per cent, the greatest single
increase evec given miners in this dis
triet, the operators agreed to assume
the burden of collecting the miners
union dues without charge and paying
the money. with a detailed statement.

asked SO 1-3 per cent advance, and
with this exception virtually ali of
their demands were met.

What number of men is usually sup
posed to include an army corps?
An army corps Is one of the subdi-
visions of an army and is in itself a
complete tactical unit, capable of indie
pendent action as an army. It's
strength varies in time of war from
10000 to 10000 men, and it is usually
composed of two or three divisions Of
infantry, contingents of cavalry, artil-
lery, engineers, telegraphers and sig
nalers, field hospital and luggage and
supply train.

viii you kindly give some idea of the
war envelopes said to have been 60
commonly used during the civil war?
AT the time of the civil war various
firms conceived the idea Of putting ca
the market envelopes bearing notices.
cartoons, pictures of famous generals.
Of the flag, battle scenes, names of reg
iments and the like. Often one-half
the envelope was thus decorated. some
times in colors The envelopes were
very popular and were used by all
classes of the people That so few of
them are now in existence is accounted
for by the fact that paper soon after
the war was very high. This old paper
was diligently sought for by manufac-
turers of paper, and the prices offered
were fancy and very attractive to the
housewives of the day, just as present
day housewives are doing a land Office
business in old newspapers. A very
good assortment of specimens of the
old civil war envelopes is hard to find.
One owned by the Fairbanks mu-
scum, St Johnsbury, Vt, comprises
some 600 envelopes and a dozen let
tiers. Many of these show pictures of
Washington, Mcclellan, Grant, Lin
coin and Colonel Ellsworth. The lat
ter appears to have been favorite
with the envelope makers. and his
tragic death was depicted IN a variety
of ways. The entire front of some ell.
velopeS is taken by views of army
headquarters. encampments and hos
pitfalls at such places as Baltimore, Al
exandria and Suffolk, while others dis
play the flag at full size of the enve-
lope, the address being written along
the white bars of the flag or on the
back Of the envelope Columbia fig
nred largely in these pictures. as did
the eagle. The cartoons OF the day
came in for their share of display on
the envelopes.

How did the custom of raising the
hat originate?
The custom of lifting the hat is
traced back to the age of chivalry,
when 1t was customary for knights
never to appear in public except in
armor. 1t became custom, however,
Tor knight upon entering an assem-
bly, of friends to remove his helmet,
signifying, II am safe In the presence
Of friends The age of chivalry passed

more direct in its origin than the lift
ing Of the hat to acknowledge the pres

perpendicular stripes of alternate red
and white with a red stripe next to
the flagstaff and the arms of the Unit

fore sunriJe and must always be taken
