A YOUNG CHILD, TOO.
The secretary of the Omaha Typo
graphical Union wants to know "what
good it Is going to do the Typographi
cal Union to Bell one more shirt with
the label on it?" It is sad to see n
member of an enlightened craft com
ing from such a remote part of Mis
souri, and asking questions that an
intelligent child ought to be able to
answer. Streator Labor Gazette.
HAD AN ACCIDENT.
Sidney J. Kent, who Is spending the
winter at Laramie, Wyoming, met with
a severe accident a few weeks ago.
He slipped and fell on the ice, dislo
cating his shoulder anf) bruising him
self severely. Word comes that he is
rapidly recovering and that he is able
to do ajjttle work.' .
AND THE8E ARE MEN.,
How the Printers Went Into Their
Big Fight.
Some men are born with the spirit
of conqueror. They bow to no tyrant's
scepter. "Millions for defense; not a
cent for tribute" is their watchword.
Such are the printers of the United
States and Canada.
Out of more than 43,000 directly -af
fected by the eight-hour strike, less
than 250 proved traitors the rest
were men. Such a people cannot be
conquered.
Every union printer now at work
about 37,000 is paying one-tenth of
his wages to maintain his brethren on
strike. Such a people can never be
conquered" '
Five hundred printers in Chicago
unanimously voted to go to jail for
the cause. Such men are born for vic
tory. The printers have shown that they
can control themselves. Not a single
instance of disorder has been brought
against them. Such men live to con
quer. The printers are brave and openfleld
fighters. No sneaking, secrecy, no
dissembling has marked their course.
They gave the employers two years
notice and then whipped them on an
open field. Such men never bend the
neck to the yoke of slayery.
The typothetae had just as well be
trying to pluck the brightness from the
sun as to endeavor to dampen the ar
dor or conquer the spirit of the heroes
who are whipping them.
But the rats! Stomach and lan
uage fail us. Hamilton Press.
SLOWLY WINNING.
And Mississippi Will Soon Stop Child
Labor.
Miss Standlsh of the Bee tells of
another failure to secure the passage
of a child labor law in Mississippi and
says the bill was defeated in the state
senate by a vote of twenty ' to eight.
This is not a defeat. It is a, victory.
Two years ago there was not a man in
either branch of the Mississippi legis
lature who could be induced to intro
duce a child labor bill. Now we find
the disturbers and anarchistic agita
tors have succeeded not only in having
a bill introduced, but or actually get
ting eight votes for it. Mississippi will
have a child labor law before the wom
en get through agitating. The same
may be said of Georgia. The agita
tors .have been pounding away for
eight years to get such a bill through.
Each time it was defeated, but each
time there was a few more votes in its
favor. Western' Laborer.
VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN PROMISED.
Efforts Will Be Made by Central La
bor Union to Get Wage Earn
(, ers Into Federation. -i ,
A meeting of the v Central Labor
union was held last evening in the
G. A. R. hall. The meeting was one
of the most enthusiastic of the kind
held in 'the city and there was a large
attendance. The attendance has been
one of the gratifying features of the
meetings and shows the interest that
is manifested in the work of the union.
Several people were taken into the
Federated union, last evening and ar
rangements were made for a vigorous
campaign in this city.
It is the aim of the Central body to
secure as many wage-earners as pos
sible who ,are not affiliated with' a
union. These members ; are taken
into the Federated union until they
are strong enough to have a union of
their own. It is the intention, if pos
sible, to have .all the local trades rep
resented in the union and an invita
tion will be extended to all clerks em
ployed in the city as well as to those
in the trades who are not numerically
strong enough to have a union of their
own. Another meeting will be held
next Tuesday evening. Fremont Daily
Herald.
TO LEGALIZE. PICKETS.
Massachusetts Legislature Considering
Such a Measure. .
. Massachusetts State Representative
George H. Jackson, of Lynn, has intro
duced in the house a bill legalizing
picketing during strikes, lockouts and
other labor troubles. The bill pro
vides that strikers may legally walk
upon the streets and highways in the
vicinity of any place where a strike
is in progress, and that v they may ap
proach persons working or intending
to do so and persuade them to discon
tinue. In many respects the measure
is similar to those which have .been
introduced by the laboring interests
for several past sessions. Last year
such a bill was defeated in the house
by a close vote.
HOT AIR ARTISTS.
But They
Are the Men
Who Stir
Things Up.
A great deal is heard about "hot
air" in' connection with union meet
ings. Come to think about it, who is
the man that is dubbed the "hot air
artist" in union meetings? - Isn't he
the one who has something to say
upon pretty nearly everything that
comes up, and isn't he listened to with
attention, and doesn't his idea usually
prevail? The man who comes late to
meeting and leaves early, the man
who sits the meeting through like an
oyster, the,..m--whodoshIs taTRTngj
after the meeting is over, is never
called a "hot air artist.". The man
Who "does things" is the one who is
thus characterized and the man who
