GERMAN CHILDREN DYING OF
HUNGER in REFORM SCHOOLS

Amsterdam, June 12.-The death of
six children at the German Reform
School in Tiefenort, SaXe-Weimar,
from what practically amounts to star
walton, although it is politely called
"under-nourishment" in the official re-
ports, has caused widespread COM
ment in Germany.
Assailed in the Grand Ducal parlia
ment for tolerating such conditions
the government put forth the divert
ing excuse that the children died from
tuberculosis brough on by deficient
mental condition" This. says Vor'
warerts in scathing editorial, is "a
disease that is likely to prove more
serious and more mysterious than the
influenza epidemic in Spain"

America how it was possible that such

A MATRIMONIAL PRIZE.

A young man who, during his brief
career, had never been required to
do very much labor at home, enlisted
for the present war, and is now in a
training camp Somewhere in Amer
lea" A few days ago his mother
received letter from him in which
he said that he had never worked so
hard in his life, that he had been
doing kitchen work, making beds,
washing and drying dishes, etc, and
that when he returned from the war
he would make some fellow in Cali
fornia the very best wife there ever
was.-Los Angeles Tribune.

| What kind of organization is the
Employers Association
Its president, Herb George, has
written us several letters because We
in the interest of industrial peace, re-
fused to print his inflammatory ads
against labor.
They were written on stationery of
the Employers Association, which
bears the name of fifteen directors. y
Among these names were men who
we did not believe would lend them
selves to such anti-American propa-
ganda as setting labor and capital at
| each others throats in time of foreign
| war.
We endeavored to ascertain the
views of these fifteen men listed as
directors" The result speaks for
| itself:
w. J. Barker-"Didn't know l was
director. Haven't seen the ad. Will
look into the matter"
w. c. Nevin-"Am not a director.
! They used my name. haven't any
| thing to do with it."
L. F. Spratlin-"Attended one meet
| ing of directors when we organized.
| Haven't seen the ad but will look it
| up. This is no time to stir up in
dustrial trouble"
J. E. McPhee-Gone to war.
Calvin H. Morse-Didn't want to be
quoted Is not director and had not
seen ad.
H. H. Howard-"Am a director, but
haven't seen the ad. Will look into it"
R. V. Weicker (transfer mani
eff you don't like the ad you don't
have to print it. l approve of it"
T. C. Owen-"Have not seen ad.
Don't believe in going around with a
chip on the shoulder at a time like
this, but think a spade ought to be
called a spade"
V. H. Kennicott-"Knew there was
such an organization, but didn't know
| was a director"
Joseph Murphy-"Pretty sure I'm
not director Think | was named
as temporary director once. Have not
seen ad."
Luke Goodheart, j. L. Taylor, C. A.
Bowman, Douglas Millard and J. Fred
Roberts, the remaining five listed as
directors, could not be reached.
We are in receipt this morning of
another letter from George, in which
he says 400 men have been brought
in to take the places of those striking
machinists and boilermakers who have
left town.
Before the strike Denver shops were
paying 5212 cents an hour, while shops
in other cities-and the government
also-were paying rs and some were
paying so cents an hour.
With the demand today for skilled
labor much greater than the supply,
all over the nation, what kind of men

| On the morning of May l, 1884, no.
tices were posted in all the shops,
round houses, stations and freight
houses of the Union Pacific railway
stating from that date the wages of
all employees would be reduced 10 to
% per cent. There was little organi-
zation on the Union Pacific excepting
among the engineers, firemen and
| conductors at that time, writes Joseph
R. Buchanan in the Toledo, Ohio,
Union Leader.
The struggle which followed this
announcement seemed to me one of
the very interesting episodes of the
labor movement. / was at that time
slowly starving to death publishing a
labor paper in Denver. In that city
| there were then employed in the shops
and other departments of the Union
Pacific about / 200 men.
1t was about Q o'clock on the MORN
ing of the 1st of May aforesaid when
committee called upon me and
asked my support and advice on be-
half of the Union Pacific employees.
At my suggestion a hall was secured
and the strikers were assembled. To
the several hundred who were present
made a talk. The following day
another meeting was held and or
ganized local several hundred strong.
Word came from other important
points on the Union Pacific and its
branches that the men had struck
against the reduction, and by wire it
was decided that Denver should act
for the whole system. With two men
| from the shops, i went to Omaha to
interview the officials of the COM
pany. We won, and the men all went
back to work within a week at the old
scale.
1t was predicted that the company
would not be long in trying to COM
pass in detail what it had failed to
accomplish at wholesale. The men
were advised to organize the whole
system, and to do it quickly. They
| took the advice and acted upon it; not
moment too soon, however, as events
showed
On August Is, 1884, or just fifteen
weeks after the incidents above re-
| lated, an order issued from the gen
eral Offices of the company at Omaha
to reduce the wages of the machinists
in the company's shops at Ellis, Kan,
and to discharge fifteen specified en-
ployes at Denver. The employees
were well organized by this time, and
| by common consent the executive
board of employees at Denver acted
for the whole system.
| / was again sent to Omaha to con-
fer with the company's representative,
S. II. II. Clark, general manager. Mr..
Clark had been with the Union Pacific
for twenty-one years. He had started
with the company as brakeman and
worked up to the highest position on
the operating force.
This second seance with Mr.. Clark
lasted thru the greater part of four
days, and it was one of the hardest
of the many fights / have had in the
labor war. Mr.. Clark was not hard
to get on with, but he was only the

go-between for the president of the
company, Charles Francis Adams.
From his palatial residence in Bos-
ton the latter gentleman conducted
the discussion by wire, but he must
have had whiff or two from the
greasy overalls of round house pit
man before the matter was settled.
The operator In Mr.. Clark's Office said
we wore out wire between Boston
and Omaha during those four days.
At the beginning of the fourth day
the situation was serious. The shops
We're closed over the entire line and
the train service was badly crippled
for lack of necessary repairs to roll
ing stock.
Mr.. Adams finally came down off his
high horse sufficiently to consent to a
withdrawal of the order to reduce the
wages of the Ellis machinists. He,
however, stubbornly refused to rein
state the discharged men at Denver.
These fifteen men were the leaders of
the organization in Denver and among
them was the secretary of the eXecu-
tive board. My instructions on leav-
ing Denver were to stand out for the
reinstatement of these men to the last
ditch.
When | went to Mr.. Clark's office
On Inc morning OF tHe lOufJn udy VI
the conference, he told me that Mr..
Adams was willing that fourteen of
the Denver men should be re-em-
ployed, but that under no circum-
stances would the secretary of the
board be allowed to again work for
the Union Pacific Railway Company.
Here was a situation, but thought /
knew my book.
"Tell Mr.. Adams that unless all of
our demands, including the reinstate-
ment of the secretary, are conceded
before o'clock tomorrow night, every
train on the road will be stopped"
was my answer The tears ran down
Mr.. Clark's face as he turned to in
struct his operator, but he said not
word.
Was it bluff? Bluff or no bluff,
we won, and for several years after
the Union Pacific was the best rail
road, from labor standpoint, in the
country.

has Herb George secured in place of
the efficient labor he has lost to Den
YER?
George encloses an advertisement
of the strikers for jobs. He says this
indicates that our claim that many of
them have gone out of town is a mis-
take.
1t may be true that many are still
here. Despite the view of certain en-
ployers and their agents, laboring men
are human beings. They are not
beasts of the field, with no response
bilities.
Many have families with children at
tending school. Many have lived here
for years, with their entire lives
their work, their friends, their social
relations ns-intertwined with the affairs
of Denver.
1t may be possible that some of them
love this city, with the same love that
has been so feverishly expounded by
representatives of business. 1t may
be that they are 10th to leave this city
which has been their home for years
until starvation drives them away.

THE DISLOYAL PACIFIST
BY ROYD MORRISON.

Scott Nearing, Victor Berger and
Frank Stephens personify the most
pernicious types of pacifism. Near
ing is a brilliant young chap who is
long on theory and short on common
sense. His is the mind that is graft
fled when he is "bucking the tiger of
public opinion" He thanks God daily
that he is more progressive than are
other men. He also is keenly alive
to the fact that there is more advcr-
tising for him in the espousal of un-
popular viewpoints. He has read lots,
talked lots, but is still half baked on
the basis Of political economy. A
term in Jail while drastic would per-
haps cool his ardent posings.
Victor Berger is a foxy politician.
The avatism of his blood simply com
pels him to do those things which in
their nature are favorable to Ger
many and Austria. His is not the
high type intellect. He is cunning.
He is shrewd He purposely keeps
himself unkempt to create impress
sions of his commonalty. He has dis
covered prolific field to exploit in
his regions where the German and
Austrian blood is plentiful. He main
tains that he is standing on "high
ground" on the war question-in his
blood the virus of Germanism un-
consciously does its "bit" for Kaiser
Bill and his ferocious Huns.
