Chicago.-The powerful Street Car

Buckley led in organizing the street

Now that he can no longer work, his
associates he served so we'll protect
his home by lifting mortgage and
providing for himself and wife in
their old age.
The benefit was attended by 5000
persons. They were addressed by
Mayor Dever, President Mahon, of
the International Street Car Mems
Association, and other trade union
lists.
Mr. Mahon referred to strike ir

union, and which marked its first ad.

The autocracy which machinery has
made possible is apparent without
much searching. The spider in his
web is no more the master of the en-
trapped fly than is the unlimited mon
arch who sits at the heart of net
of machinery demanding output and
to the devil with the human machine
tenders.
Of course, the best answer of today
is the trade union. 1t is and has been
the great barrier to unlimited author
ity and unlimited oppression.
But trade unionism can not, in the
very nature of things, answer the
whole question, until it comes into CO.
operation with other agencies. This
great Portland declaration against
that which Mr.. Garrett now so whole
somely decries, laying down the only
sane answer yet propounded.
That the machine will rule with the
ruthlessness of iron and the heart
lessffess of steel is clear, unless hu-
manity uses wisely the one thing the
machine can never have-brains.
