"One July morning tn '03," said an In
valid Infantry olllcer of the regular army
to a Now York Sun man, "Duck Nlvens, tho
foreman of th 4-T ranch, near tho Ne
braska post, on the Union Pacific line, at
which I was stationed, led a big 1G.3 chest
nut horso up In front of my quarters
Iiuck and I were very chummy and called
mo out to look the nnlmal over
"I asltcd Duck If he'd taken to rustling.
Tho horau didn't look as If he belonged out
that way. He wan rank and hairy and
muddy, and bla ribs wero rather painfully
visible, even through the mud and tho long
hair. IJut ho had blood Unci and a thor
ouglfbred's feet and legs, und ho was n
stargazer never saw a horse, oven on a
race track, carry his bead more proudly.
" 'Whoro'd you nab that one, Duck?' I
naked him,
" 'Well, lio'a a kid o' gopher, I reckon,'
replied Duck, grinning 'He Jes' nnchully
prnncod up to me, about six miles over the
range, this raornln'. lie walked right over
to me, and put that flno head o' hla'n
ncrost my pommel, hooks like he's 11
hrocdn'. hoy?'
" 'llreedlug? said I to Duck. 'He's a thor
oughbred from end to end. I'rctty shaky
story of yours, Duck, ahout picking him up
on tho range. That kind don't come up on
sage-brush. They'ro made of sweet tufts
of liltiegrast.'
" 'I'm tellln' you right, though,' replied
Duck, knowing that I wns only fooling. 'I
can't flgger out nry n renson for his belli'
nroun these yere parts but thar ho wero
ns big as a Mobe and an mild as a setter
pup Acted like he were-lonesome and used
to the rnmpan o' humans, the way ho
enmes a-waltzln' up to me.'
"Well, It waB a qtieer klnd of business, for
u fact.
" 'fllvo you a hundred for tho waif. Duck,
and no questions asked,' ( said to the fore
man. Illicit Mnkr n l'roi(iNl(lnii.
"'Nope replied lltlck. "The young fel
ler he'a only l-yoar'-old. by his molars
has taken n kind of a shine to me, and I
reckon I'll put him under a shed and fix
him up and git them ribs out p' view. Then
maybe I'll uso him.'
"I loaned Duck n bridle nnd he hastened
It onto the handsome but abuscd-looklug
chestnut and trotted off to the ranch, lead
ing his odd four-lcggeJ llnd alongside his
Hwcrvlng cnyuso.
"I didn't see Duck again for a month.
Then he ciuuo cantering up one afternoon
on tho chestnut. Now, I'vo been looking at
race horses, odd times when I've been on
furlough and hnd n chance, for a matter of
a quarter" of a century or so, but I don't
think I ever saw such a ripping looking
brute ns this lost, strayed or stolen rnugo
pick-up of Duck Nlvens' had turned out to
bo In the course of that month,
" 'He's oine hoss, ain't ho?' said Duck,
proudly slipping out of tho saddle.
" 'Well make It a hundred and a half,
Iluck, and I'll furnish him oats,' said I.
" 'Not ten hundred and llfty,' replied
Duck. 'This feller and mo Is mashes, sure
cnoujjh, Cap, nnd wo git along together like
two chum gala In boardln' school. Ho don't
stand for nobody foolln' around him but mo
and I reckon It's wuth while to have any
ol', kind of a four-lrggcd thing feel thnt-n-way
toward you, particularly one with all
tho Instincts of a gentleman like this boy.
How 'bout that?'
" 'Well, It 'ud bo a shame to keep one
like tbnt plugging around n beef ranch,
that's all,' I told Duck. 'He's good enough,
by the looks of him, to go to the races.'
" 'And," replied Duck, with n strong nc
ccntuatlon of the "and," 'he's good enough
by Bomethlu' else than the looks o' him to
go to tho rnces. That's what I'm over here
to sco you about, boln' plum loco mysolf
when It gits down to n matter o' figures.'

dog-robbers to hold the chestnut for awhile
und onnw Into my sitting room. After he'd
liquored up n couple of times bo presented
his little arithmetical problem to me.
"'It's thli-a-way. Cap,' sold bo, turning
his chair the wronp way around bo's he
could lean his elbows on the back, 'This

callln' him, Oopher, und you know why
this yers orphan hoss hits me ns belli' n
suro-unuugh blood proposition. I didn't do
nothln' but feed and burnish hi in till about
a week ago. Then I puts one o' tho light
addles on him about forty-flvo pounds, I
reckon and gits on him to glvu his legs n

" 'Oh. well, there's nothing remarkable
about that,' 1 paid, 'seeing, as anybody can
see, that bo's a thoroughbred and mennt for

" 'Dut this yrro's what I want to git nt,'
proceeded Duck, 'A couple o' days ago I

I've got it fixed with ono o' the hinds that

I puts the hoss through a little gallop out

The serious problems which face the
worklngman today are machinery, division
of labor, and trusts.
Machinery and division of labor affect
blm In two ways they drive him to over
exertion and they cut his wages. Formerly
when n skilled tailor made tho entire coat
he changed about from basting to machine
stitching, to hand sowing, to pressing, and
not only was each change a relaxation but
it was impossible for blm to get up speed
In any of his operations. Now one man
dors the stitching, another the basting, an
other the pressing, and bo on. Tho man at
tho machine gets an amazing skill In narrow
limits, which amounts merely to tho skill
necessary to drive his work through M high
speed. True, the prlco of ready-made coats
has come down, but the man can no longer
earn wages after he is 43 years of age.
This effect of tho division of labor nnd
machinery extends to all trades. Even
bricklayers In New York have Increased
their speed thirty per cent in the last ten
years, and a German bricklayer lays fifty
per cent more brick than ho did In Germany.
A weaver now operates twenty to twenty
five looms whero by hand ono was enough.
Dut tho male effect of machinery Is not
that It Intensifies exortlon or even that It
displaces labor, but that It cutB wages. A
certain tannery introduced a machlno to
tnko the placo of men nt 918 per week. Th
men wero forced to work for a week,
nnd then proprietors threw out tho machlno
becatibo labor was cheaper. Almost uni
versally employers hold It absurd that they
should be asked to keep 'a $3 man on the
J 1.C0 machine which takes his place. If
such a view succeeds, then machinery does
not stand un Its own merits. America ex
ceeds In the Introduction of machinery be
cause American wages are so high that em
ployers must seek mavhlno substitutes.
Dut. plainly, It tho machine Is used to cut
wages, then tho economical reasons for Its
introduction are gone, and It becomes
mainly a club to cow labor. Contrast tho
tannery mnchlnn nbove mentioned with thu
typesetting machine Tho compositors when
faced by this machine anw that boys and
women wore likely to taku tho places of
men, and their wugei likely to bo cut mid
hours lengthened. On the contrary, nt tho
present time, thosj same compobltors who
formerly set type by hand ten to twetvo
hours a day at whatever they could make,
paid by the plere, nrc now operating
the machines six to nine hours a day nt u
minimum of 18 to $30 per week, according
to locality, paid by tho day. At the same
time the cost of competition to the em
ployer has been reduced two-thirds. Here,
It Is plain, machinery stands on Its merits.
It has benefited directly both the work
man nnd the employer. It has not been a
club, but nn economy. Dut notice, tho
only condition that made tho effect of tho
typesetting machine different from that of
machinery in other trades was tho strength
and wisdom of the printer's trndo unlou.
It may bo stated as axiomatic that labor
without organization will bo reduced to the
lowest wages, longest hours and hardest
exertion that physical strougth can endure.
Lack of organization Is the essence of the
sweating system. Apparent but not real
exceptions to this rule nrc members of
those highly skilled trades or those Indi
viduals of extra gifts who are advanced
as experts or as supervisors or pacemakers
for the less gifted mass, and thoso non
union workmen In trades whero a union
exists. Setting aside theso exceptions,
which prove the rule, there Is no substitu
tion for organization for the grent ma
jority of worklngtnen and working women
eipt legislation, nnd in proportion as
organization falls tho demand tor legislation
Increases,
Whllo organization Is escntlal, It cannot
succeed If not rightly directed, for this
reason the old-time trado union Is gradually
giving way to the Industrial union. As a
manufacturing establishment grows and en
ters a trust It can subdivide its operations
and substitute automatic machinery until It
eliminates trado skill. Therefore, tho
union based on trade skill controls a
smaller and smaller proportion of tho
employes, although on account of tho
growth of the business the absolute num
ber of skilled men In tho country may not
be reduced. This Is the reason why tho
largest establishment In mnny Industries
are non-union. To nn outsider It seems
unfair that 10 or 23 per cent of tho work
menthose who are skilled should be able
to stop tho work of an entlro Industry In
order that they alone may get an Increase
of wages or the recognition of their union.
Another point whero the older trade union
theory Is giving way Is In Us theory of
restrictive output. These restrictions place
union shops at a disadvantage In competi
tion with non-union shops- where machin
ery and division of labor nro carried to
their limits. This disadvantage Is obscured
for a time by tho device of tho label which
has enabled employers of union workmen
In certain cases to sell their product nt
higher prices than those received by
employers of nonunlonlsts. Dut the
label cannot bo considered a-' fea
ture of organization It produces n kind
of hothouse unionism; It Is only a substi
tute for billboard HdNertlsIng, and Is lim
ited In scope.
As a result of these changes a new union
ism Is springing up which bids fair to do
more tor the worklngman than anything
that has been done In the past. This Is
romollmrs called Industrial unionism In
plneo of trado unionism. It takes different
forms, nil tho way from amalgamation, ns In
the enso of tho mine workers, to a eloso
federation, ns In tho cn&o of the Unite 1
Garment Workers nnd United Hatters. Thf!
mine workers' union Is no longer n union'.
of miners nlouc, but it includes day labor
ers, 'op men, drivers, carpenters, black
smiths, firemen, hoisting engineers In fact,
everybody who works for waged In or about
a mine The United Garment Workers In
New York City nro now conducting for the
flrbt time n general strike under a central
council, In which ten or twelve unions take
part, covering tho ontlro trade, except the
Italian women, who work nt home. This
new form of alliance Is not necessarily nn
amalgamation, per does It wipe out trndo
lines, as wns attempted by the Knights of
Labor, but It binds together nil the trades
nnd all the unskilled workmen who work in
tho same Industry, much ns tho United
Statu Steel corporation binds together Itt
constituent corporations. Certain strong
and compact unions resist this movement
because they are opposed to making sacri
fices for their weaker associates, but in
proportion no they sec these unskilled men
with machinery taking their places they are
awakonlng to tho need of protecting them
selvts by protecting them.
""ha new unionism abandons restrictions
on the employer In tho mr.tters of machin
ery, division of labor, discipline of the
establishment, and speed of work. The em
ployer becomes free to manage his own
business and to introduce any economy or
improvement.
Dut the union strives to share the ad
vantages of machinery, division of labor,
and business organization by dtroctlng Its
attention to shortening the hours of labor,
raising the minimum day wages, nnd regu
lating the piece prices. Shorter hours secure
nil tho advantages hoped for from restric
tion of output, and, besides, aro the neces
sary compensation tor Increased Intensity
of exertion.
Hours and wages arc controlled on the
only basis on which they can fairly be con
trollednamely, through conferences of the
representatives of Inbor and the repre
sentatives of capital tor the entire competi
tive field. Neither would be despotism, but
the representatives of each agree In confer
ence. This is representative government,
It places all competitors on an equality; It
takes control out of the hands of local un
ions nnd walking delegates and places It In
the hands of national conventions nnd na
tional officers. This eliminates personali
ties, local friction nnd petty contentions,
nnd makes moro certain the enforcement
of a labor contract.
Again, tho new unionism relies on fair
treatment by the public authorities. The
first conference agreement betwoen the
powerful Mine Owners' tttijon of Illinois
nnd the operators of that slate, which has
brought notable prosperity and satisfaction
to both capital and labor, would, neverthe
less, have suffered defeat had not Governor
Tuuner refused to furnish mllltla to help
a company to bring In colored labor from
other states In order to break the agree
ment to which the company Itself was a
party. The fact that the mlnq workers
have political power is essential In main
tnlnlng organization. So long as tho abuse
of Injunctions which have now gone so far
tn Ohio nnd Connecticut ns even to prohibit
persuasion Is continutd or enlarged theru
Is but llttlo hope for labor organization
The only remedy is cither for tho Judiciary
to keep hands off or for the worklugmen to
control the Judiciary through practical
politics.
Finally, it must be noted that with tho
Increased tension of machinery nnd division
of labor and tho higher standard of wngos
there Is an increasing residuum of tho uged
and of Incompetents and delinquents who
cannot or will not work up to the mini
mum required by employers. Kor the sake
of honest labor as well as for thu public
good these clasnes need to bo clearly set
apart from .tho strictly Industrial occupa
tions. This Is a difficult problem, especially
for the aged, but for the other clstics a,
promising solution Is that of tho labor or
beggar colonics, whero these einsses volun
tnnly or compulsorlly work under super
vision. The colony Idea has already proved
its value in tho United States for epileptics
nnd idiots and in Holland and Gcrmnny for
heggars and tramps, .nnd Is being adopted
tn New South Wales for tho less competent
unlmployed. When once tho grip of theso
of tho working clnssos the labor question
can ba treated on Its merits as an Indus
trial and not as a partly police nnd n partly
charity question.

THE BEST KNOWN
Building in the West.
HF RFR RUTT-DTNO : nnf nnlva famili'at namr
I to people in Omaha, but is known everywhere
as one of the best office buildings in the couiv
try, It is the best advertised building in the west and
visitors to Omaha are seen every day admiring the
wonderful combination of the beautiful and the sub

the best office building in Omaha? Is there not also
a feeling of satisfaction in having surroundings that
are beautiful and pleasant ? Surely in choosing a
house you would rather be opposite a park than a
mud bank
