IHE WORLDJGROWING RAPIDLY
Divides All Mankind Into the Capitalists, the Unionized Skilled La
bor and the Ignorant, Non-Unionized, Often Alien, Non
Skilled LaborMany Men of Great Powers of
Thought Have Been Drawn to Movement.
Now York. Tho present labor disor
ders In Butto, Mont., bring into sharp
contrast tho two very different sys
tems, tho I. W. W. (Industrial Workers
of tho World) and tho old lino trades
unions,
I3y desperate struggles tho Ameri
can Federation of Labor had brought
tho mine owners of Butto to such a
dogroq bf docility that thoy Blgned an
ngrcement allowing tho union to hnvo
representatives tako their stations at
tho mouths of tho initio pits and bar
all men not In good standing, as nhown
by a "union card," from tho workings.
This is about tho acme of "collective
bargaining" and tho zenith of union
ism. But tho I. W. W. has discarded col
lective bargaining and sneered at tho
right to let only union men into the
mines.
"Tho mines nro tho workers'," say
tho I. W. W. "Thoy not only belong
to the minors, but tho miners actually
have them in their bauds. All they
need to do is to tako possession nnd
keep tho so-callod owners, or capital
ist class, out altogother."
Sq when a section of tho Butte min
ers rovolted against tho Western Fed
eration of Miners and tho card system,
these malcontents announced their
intention of affiliating with tho I. W.

was their vastly greator demands as
compared with thoso of tho bargaining
trades unions.
"TIicbo pooplo nro ( not looking for
wages, ' they want to own tho fac
tory," declared an aotonlshed Phila
delphia manufacturer in tho early
years of tho 1. W. W.
So thoy do. Tho 1. W. W. leaders
toll their followers they will otrlko
and demand IS per cent of tho prod
ucts of tho factory then strike ngahi
and get a further 1C per cent and con
tlnuo this process until labor has the
wholo 100 per cent.
Tho ownor of tho factory will tako
his placo at a loom or a wheel and re
ceive tho samo proportion of tho re
turns an tho other workmen.
Writing more than two years ugo,
Charles Willis Thompson, who has
mado a study of labor questions, de
clared tho 1. W. W., "Is tho most se
rious menaco tho present system of
socloty has over boon called upon to
face.
In these two years many things
havo tendod to bear out his predic
tion. Tho t. W. W. strikes como with
Increasing frequoncy. Many leaders
of literary talent and deep powers of
thought, such as Bouck White, Lin
coln Stoffons and Upton Sinclair, havo
been drawn to tho I. W. W. from oth
er systems of social reform. A few
leaders havo mado mistakes, and
caused tho I. W. W. to appoar ridicu
lous, as in incidents of tho last few
months In Now York city, but tho
general movement has been broaden
ing, a constant steady Increase of
strength.
At tho present moment thoro Is not

States where largo numbers of cheap

which Is not watching with real con
corn tho I. W. W. rumblings of tho
proletariat, or already has felt tho of
fsets of tho organization's methods.
it Is tho very formlessness of tho I.
W. W. which makes It so much to bo
dreaded. It Is un lutnnglblo thing.
There Is no president tho I. W W.
fenrs, no Gompers, no treasury and no
organization that dosorves tho namo.
It 1b merely a theory which somo havo
Identified with" tho Byndlcullsts of
Europe, but which Is broader and
decpor.
Tho 1. W. W celobrnted ltB tenth
birthday not long ago In tho winter
of 1903-04 less than two scoro man
who had fought In tho rankB of tho
trado unionists and wore dissatisfied
with tho results, gathered In Chicago
and hero tho Rov. Thomas J. Hngorty,
a Roman Catholic priest, wrote tho fa
mous preamble, a remarknblo docu
ment which may provo to hnvo a
placo In history equal to the Magna
Charta, the Bill of Rights and tho
Amorlcan Declaration of Independence.
A remerknblo thing that a Catholic
priest, of a rollglous sect which has
now condemned tho 1. W W., Bhould
havo opened this terrltilo pronmblo, de
claring war on tho social structure
reared by tho centuries.
lloio Is tho famous preamble written
by tho Rev. Thomas Hagerty, a Ro
man Catholic prlost, and adopted with
minor changes by tho foundora of tho
Industrial Workers of the World ten
years ago:
"Tho working class nnd omploylng
class have nothing In common. Thoro
can bo no petico so long ns hunger and
want aro found among millions of
working people, and tho few who mako
up tho employing class hnvo all the
good things of lifo. ,
"Between these two classes a otrug
glo must go on until all tho tollers
como together on tho political as well
a'a on the industrial field, and tako and
hold that which they produce by their
labor through an economic organiza
tion of tho working class, without affil
iation with any political party.
"Tho rapid gathering of wealth and
the centering of tho management of in
dustries into fewer and fewer hands
makes the trades unions unable to
copo with tho ever-growing power of
tho employing clnsB, becauso the
trades unions foster a stato of
things which allows ono set of work
ers to bo pitted against another In
wago wars. Tho trades unions aid tho
omploylng class to mislead tho work
ers Into the belief that tho working
class have Interests in common with
their employers.
"Thcso sad conditions enn bo
changed nnd tho interests of the work
ing class upheld only by un organiza
tion formed In such a way that all Its
members In any ono Industry, or In all
Industries, If necessary, ceaso work
whenever a strlko or lockout la on In
any department thereof, thus making
an Injury to ono an Injury to all."
Among tho other leaders In tho
Chicago convention wero William D.
Haywood, who shortly afterward stood
trial and waB acquitted of tho murder
of Governor Steunenberg of Idaho,
Chas. O. Sherman, William E. Traut
man, editor of tho Brauer Seltung,
Frank Bohn who had been an organ
izor of the Socialist Labor party; Ern
est Mills, at one time secretary of tho
Western Federation of Minora; nnd
another Haggcrty, spelling his namo
dlfforently from the priest.
It was In tho West that the I. W. W.
operated mostly tho first half dozen
years of Its oxlstonco. There wero
serious disorders at many points.
The agitation has kopt up In the
West, but now It is spreud or rather
scattered all over tho Country. Some
of tho more famouB struggles were
tho war for free speech In Spokane,
which resulted In adherents of tho I.
W. W., being denied tho right of ob
taining American citizenship In threo
states; tho San Diego and Los An
geles riots, ono Incident of which was
tho forcing of a hundred I. W. W.'s
to kiss tho American Hag preliminary
to being "run out" of San Diego; and
tho spectacular strikes In Massachu
setts nnd Now Jersey mill towns.
A successful tactic of tho I. W. W.
leaders 1b to Jump into a strike already
started by tho other organizations,

and convert tho strikers. Tho I. W.
W. did this at McKccaport, Pa., Law
renco, Mobs., Llttlo Falls, N. Y., and
Patorson, N. J.
This Is not surprising when ono re
members that tho I. W. W. originated
in tho bull pons of Colorado. The dls
troBslng BcencB of the 1903 strugglo
between the Westom Federation of
Miners and tho Mlno Owners' associa

Far astray as somo of tho leaders
may now havo led, tho original means
of campaign of tho 1. W. W wero
pnclllc, or rather passive. Strike,
then go back, strike and go back
again, wns tho plan. "Wo will Btrlko

that there waa no necessity of appeal

Swarm of Bees Is Attraction in Capital Street
WASHINGTON.- Chauncey C. Brnlncrd, tho Washington correspondent of
the Brooklyn Eagle, entered his olllco on Fourteenth etreet in tho heart
of the business acetlon early the other morning and fotind a compact group
of visitors there ahead of him. Tho

a little poplar treo not more than 12 feet high which had been sot out to tako
tho placo of a storm-broken maplo.
The" bees wero an attraction. Traffic was blocked for a while with a
throng of curious but none too courageous spectators. Finally a bold ono
fastened a big paper box to the tree Just below the bees, saying that thoy
soon would settle In it and that when this happy retfult wns reached he would
clap tho cover on and bo tho owner of a swarm that would bring him $20
in tho market.
Tho bees would not go Into tho box. For half an hour tho crowd watched
expectantly, but tho buzzing bunch clung to the foliage of the poplar and
ignored tho trap retreat. Soon there happened along James P. Hornaday,
for years tho Washington correspondent of tho Indianapolis News. In his
youth Hornaday had lived on a farm, and ho know about bees. He said:
"Get a small bell, put it in the box, tinklo it and tho bees will enter."
Tho crowd told Hornaday he was a fine josher, but that It could not fall
for such stuff. Tho correspondent, finding IiIb advice reproached, went his
way. Five minutes later a man in a wagon came along. He was a farmer,
for ho showed It. Ho took a little bell off a blcyclo which was standing at
tho curb, put it in the box and rang it. In two seconds the bees had dropped
in a bunch from tho foliage Into tho box, tho cover was clamped on and tho
farmer drove away with his prize.
One Side of Politics at the Nation's Capital
HE HAD a keen eye, and from tho neck up he looked llko a brilliant, suc
cessful young man. A survey of him from his chin down disclosed the
fact that he wore a shiny evening suit a slzo too small for him, that he had
a telltale slnklng-ln somewhere in tho
immediate vicinity of his wishbone,
and the tops of his shoes wero In
fnr hotter condition than tho solos.
Altogether, he was on his uppers a
fact which ho was confiding to his
friend In the hotel lobby.
' After a while there appeared In
the dlstanco the picture of unlimited
wealth, unsullied success, nnd uninter
rupted prosperity. Instead of a Blnk-ing-ln
at tho wishbone, ho exhibited a
Dutch-window effect. His clothes iltted
him to perfection. Evidently ho had come out a victor in every battle he had
fought against adversity.
Ab soon as he appeared, tho young man In tho small evening clothes was
electrified Into now life
"Excuse me." he said to his friend. "That old duffer is from Wisconsin,
and ho wnnts, to get an ambassadorship. I'm helping him to get it."
All of which Is another indication that strangers looking for honors in
Washington will pay large sums of money to any needy person who claims
to havo Influence with Bill Jones, who says ho has Influence with Congress
man Smith, who la known to havo influence with Senator Jones, who must
havo Influence with a cabinet official who has moro influenco than anybody
else with the president.

"And thereupon, relying upon that principle of human nature I havo Juat

tho following night.
"I got my crowd In a good humor that evening with n fow preliminary

Wilson Likes June Brides, But Couldn't See 'Em

Marble Windows.
Remarkably beautiful effects are so
cured by tho use of marblo as a.
means of transmitting light Instead ot
glass. This has been accomplished
by a new process which has been de
vised by an engineer of Hamburg, W.
Englc. Ho has succeeded in making
plates of marble no moro than three
millimetres In thickness and for tho
use designated it is available up to
20 millimeters thick. Tho suitability
of marblo for this purpose wa3 real
ized some time ago, but tho difficulty
encountered waa that of securing the
marble in slabs of sufficient thinness.
These plates permit of tho passage of
a greater amount of light than frosted
glass does, and at the samo tlmo Im
parts to tho rayB a much pleasanter
color. Most opal glnss imparts to tliO'
light an undeairablo greenish tinge,
while the light which passes through
the marble has a reddish violet which
Is much pleasanter. After the marble
has been ground down to the desired
thickness it is subjected to an immer
sion in oil under high pressure, and
tho effects secured In this manner are
said to bo superior to those of stained
glass.
