LABOR DAY.
Before any central labor body
decides upon giving up the now
generally accepted features of
Labor day demonstration. In
cluding the parade, meetings and
addresses, let its delegates dis
cuss what would happen If these
observances should be abandon
ed for a single year In all the
cities of the country. Opponents
would declare that the labor
movement had collapsed, non
unionists would no longer on la
tor's own day be made to feel
the reproach of their absence
from among the defenders of
their rights, the press would re
main silent where It now is a
helpful vehicle for the cause of
unionism, and much of the op
portunity and occasion for our
propaganda of unionism would
be lost. Samuel Gompers.
WARNING TO UNIONS.
American Federation Urges Caution In
Giving Indorsements.
Recently warning was sent from
American Federation of Labor bead
quarters in Washington to labor pa
pers and the unions cautioning them
against entering Into business rela
tions with irresponsible men who are
traveling about the country getting
out special editions. This warning was
issued because In several instances
these men had gone into various cities
and after securing the indorsement of
the central body would take advertise
ments indiscriminately and fail to ful
fill the obligations they had entered
into. Information has come to head
quarters that another scheme has been
concocted.
The placards having the lithograph
ed union labels of the various crafts
issued by the American Federation of
Labor have been secured in some" man
ner and advertisements solicited to be
placed around the lithographs as a
border, the solicitor agreeing to divide
the proceeds with the union from
which he got the indorsement. It Is
stated that In numerous Instances
these obligations have not been ful
filled. The unions are cautioned by
the American Federation of Labor to
be very careful in giving indorsements
to any one. no matter for what pur
pose. Mr. Poet's Suit Failed.
Charles TV. Post lost his suit against
the American Federation of Labor and
the Buck's Stove and Range company
through a ruling of Judge D. P. Dyer
in the circuit court at St. Louis. Judge
Dyer sustained a demurrer to the bill
filed by the defendants. Post sought
to recover ?7ri0.000 damages and to get
an injunction against the defendants.
The suit for damages was filed under
the Sherman anti-trust act.
Post sued as" a stockholder and di
rector of the Buck's Stove and Range
company. He was the firm ally of the
late J. W. Van Cleave, president of the
stove company, and the Citizens De
fense association. Post sued to pre
vent the carrying out of an agreement
between the labor organization and
the stove company to make the Buck
plant a union shop, which followed
Van Cleave's death. He sued as a mi
nority stockholder.
A "Rabbit" Union.
While the labor unions in this coun
try are largely confined to trades and
special callings, those of Australia
cover nearly every imaginable charac
ter of work. There is now being or
ganized a "rabbiters' ' union. This or
iganization is being formed under the
auspices or what- Is known as tLe
"Trappers league." The men eligible
to the "rabbiters union, as the name
signifies, ar-e those engaged In the
hunting of rabbits for the market. Al
ready through the efforts of the young
organization the minister of agricul
ture has made arrangements for the
freezing and packing of rabbits to meet
the requirements of the rabbit bunt
ers for the coming season. This ac
tion on the part of the minister Is to
guard against the "rabbit combine."
LABOR AWAKENING.
The abolition of slavery la this
and other countries and of serf
dom in Russia Is but a part of
a worldwide Improvement In the
condition of the tollers of the
world, the working classes, upon
whom In the last analysis de
pend the subsistence, the cloth
ing. Indeed the continued ex
istence, of the human race. And
the betterment In their condi
tion Is only Just beginning.
With the diffusion of knowledge
among them as to the Impor
tance of their labors and the
power of their numbers It Is cer
tain they will not remain con
tent with the small share allot
ted to them out of the results of
their toil and their relative un
importance In government.
Chief Justice Clark, Supreme
Court of North Carolina.
Lawyer Strike.
Even lawyers nave been known to
go on strike. Three years ago the
barristers practicing In Sierra Leone
were so dissatisfied with the judge
acting as substitute for the chief Jus
tice while the latter was on leave that'
they unanimously elected to give up
pleading before him. Legal business
In the colony was therefore at a stand
still until the chief Justice-- veturned.
France, too. affords an Instance of a
legal strike. One of the judges of SC
Amand recently accused the local law
yers of deliberately promoting disputes'
in order to fill their pockets with fees
Thereupon all the lawyers In court
departed In a body and forwarded a
letter stating that they would not re
turn until this Insulting statement bnd
been withdrawn. Eventually the Judpe
apologized, and the lawyers returned
to work. London Chronicle.
