Three National Capitals

The nations capital was moved
from New York to Philadelphia on
December 1, 1890, for period of ten
years, ending December 1, 1900, prior
to its removal to Washington. After
the burning Of the capitol during the
War of 1912 a strong movement arose
for removing the capital from Wash
ington. In fear of such result the
local interests formed the Capitol
Hotel company, and erected building
for government occupancy until the
repairs on the capitol were finish. II
was occupied from 1914 to 1919 and
was afterward known as the "Old
Capitol" and was used in the Civil
war as a military prison.

Dor. But the workers formed informal
friendly societies, or box clubs. At
taverns where they congregated they
kept a box, into which the dropped
pennies, to take care of their sick.
The ruling caste began to encourage
these sick insurance societies, but
when they found out the workers were
beginning to talk about their rights,
or rather wrongs, "the employers were
clamorous for the subjugation of men
who dared to talk about bettering
their condition"
In 1924 an investigating commission
found that these friedly societies,
nominally for insurance, had become
trade-unions. Whether because the
politicians feared their power or be-
cause the conscience of the nation was
stirred by the revelation of the de-
plorable conditions of the workers
the laws against combinations were
repealed. About this time the master
class of England seems to have dis
covered that the human work animal
might be a creature with "soul"
At any rate, the rise of modern
trades unions began in 1924, and they
are still fighting and need to fight,

FISKE DECLARES

By International Labor News Service.
That modern trade-unions were an
outgrowth of friendly (insurance) So
cieties, and that whatever measure of
justice workers enjoy today was en-
tirely due to their unions and hard
fighting, were statements made by
Haley Fiske, octogenarian president
of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, in an address to his Can
adian officers.

President Fiske recalled that prior
to the rise of manufacturing, wages
of agricultural workers in England
were eight shillings and six pence a
week. Manufacturing began largely in
the form of the putting out system" !"
but the conditions of labor grew worse.
The agricultural workers wage was
reduced by as much as wife and chill
dren could make in the new manu-
factures. The law enforced hard la
Dor and thrift. A family with child
over six years who could not knit, was
not entitled to poor law relief when
the head of the family was i'll or out

more than the junior astronomers at
the naval observatory, who receive
only $35 per week.
The next step in the negotiations
was letter from the President OF
the Bricklayers' Union to the Presi-
dent of the U. s., in which he in
formed the latter that if the Junior
star gazers would show as much sense
as the bricklayers by organizing
themselves into a union they might
earn as 1,uch as hod carriers at least.
Besides" he added, "junior astron-
omers can't lay bricks"
President Bowen might have rubbed
it in still more by adding that with
out bricklayers even the President of
this great land would have to live in
caves, adobe huts or frame shacks,
while the stars pursue the even tenor
of their way in spite of all that junior
astronomers may say or do about
them.
However, there is some good in all
of Gods creatures and so it is quite
possible that even junior astronomers
are worth more than $35 a week, in
spite of the fact that they haven't
got sense enough to organize union
of Sun, Moon and Star Gazers. The
only difficulty in the way of such
union would be its inability, in case
Of strike, to demonstrate to the bosses
