PITTSBURG SQUARED UP.
Pittsburg Typographical Union has
"captured, the enemy" by securing the
signature of five unfair daily news
papers to a union contract. The con
tracts mark the ending of nearly a ten
years' fight against the Gazette-Times,
Post, Sun, Press. Leader and Chron
icle-Telegraph. These proprietors, sev
eral years ago, joined hands and
locked out their union printers. Every
newspaper in Pittsburg, excepting the
Morning Despatch, declared war
against the union. But the fight is
ended and peace proclaimed by both
sides.

HEN Abraham Lincoln I
worked on his father's
farm Robert William Pat
ten worked by his side.
Patten lives to-day, and at
the age of 98 years is as
spry as a youngster. Grizzled, bronzed
and ruddy from the winds and sun
shine of an outdoor life, Patten sailed
into the editorial rooms of the Call the
other day and his smile illuminated
the whole place.
Old man Patten has come down from
Seattle on his way to New Orleans. He
is never happy unless he is migrating
like the wild goose. He was born at
Summer Hill, Cayuga county, N. Y., on
February 24, 1811. He is proud of the
fact, that he was Lincoln's workmate
in the old days on the farm.
"I first met Abe,"" he said, "when he
was living with his father, mother and
sisters on the farm, raising cattle and
general farm products. I took up 160
acres adjoining and helped Abe with
the work in return for the loan of his
horses for work on my place. We were
overrun ' with wild deer, geese and
brant, and it was almost impossible to
raise anything, for these pests would
come in the night and clean up every?
thing except the weeds. I lived with
old man Lincoln and slept with Abe
for a long time. Well, I take that
back I mean I tried to sleep in Abe's
room, but I had a hard time of it, for
Abe used to sit up nearly all night
reading books He had a little round
tin pan with the side about three
inches high. This he filled with wild
goose oil. Then he stuck a rag in the
oil and let one end hang over the edge
When this rag was lighted it made a
Mrs. Lincoln's Wedding Dress.
"Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd
were married at the home of Miss
Todd's sister, Mrs. Edwards, in Spring
field, on November 4, 1842. As the de
cision was so hastily made there was
no special dress made for the bride,"
said Mrs. Jessie Palmer of Spring
field, 111., to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat
writer, "but her sister, Frances,
had been married only a few months
before and her wedding dress was
worn by the bride.
"It was a white' brocaded silk (ot
pretty good electric chandelier, and
how he would read!
"What did he read? ' Why, every
thing in print that he could get hoid
of. The Bible, histories, story books,
any old thing that he could reach that
had print on it. Whew, how that old
ag used to stink! It used to keep me
awake half the time, and I often won
dered how Abe was able to lose so
much sleep at night and do so much
work in the daytime.
"I stayed four years with them on
the ranch, and then the old man rent
ed out the farm and Abe went to
school in a university at Chicago.
"After that I drifted about the coun
try acting as a scout, guide and Indian
fighter until the civil war, when I en
listed in the union army. I was badly
wounded and was taken to the hospital
on Fourteenth street in Washington.
Mr. Lincoln was president at that time.
One day he saw me lying in my cot
and squeezed my hand so hard that he
hurt me. On the next day Mrs. Lin
coln, his wife, came to the hospital
with delicacies for the wounded boys,
and I remember that was the first
time that I ever tasted cornstarch.
Mrs. 'Lincoln took me from the hos
pital in her carriage to the White
House, where I was treated as tender
ly as a sick baby. I remained' there 12
weeks and Mrs. Lincoln nursed me."

before the days of sewing machines,
At the wedding Mr. Lincoln or, per
haps, some one else, spilled a cup of
coffee on the bride's gown. It was
never worn again. It is now owned

Mrs. Walter L. Patterson of Springfield.

WHY WE OPPOSE INJUNCTIONS
Labor injunctions will be one of the issues during the
coming campaign and it behooves all workers to "book
up" on this usuipation of courts.
Here are a few points that will "floor" any defender
of labor injunctions: '
From the foundation of our government, injunctions
have been recognized for the protection of property. Sec
tion 917 of the United States Revised Statutes empowers
the supreme corns to prescribe rules for its application.
Rule 55, promulgated in 1866, provides that special injunc
tions shall be grantable only upon due notice to the other .
party.
Labor injunctions are capitalistic applications of jus
tice, masking under a hypocritical love for courts.
The' labor injunction was invented by Alex Smith, at
torney for the Ann Arbor railway in the strike of 1894.
It was applied by Federal Judge Taft, who committed
Frank Phelan to jail for six months, and since then near
ly every court has granted these writs on demand.
. Labor injunctions are not authorized or recognized by
any legislature.
Labor injunctions deny workers a trial by jury a
right accorded the meanest criminal.
Labor injunctions outlaw' acts committed at strike
times but legal at all other times.
Labor injunctions empower the court to act as law
maker, judge and executioner.
Labor injunctions class workers os property.
Labor injunctions make no distinction between proper
ty rights and personal rights.
Labor injunctions rest on the theory that when an ac
tion by workers injures property, fundamental personal
rights can be enjoined.
Labor injunctions protect dollars at the cost of a free
press and free speech.
Labor injunctions disregard the wrongs of workers in
a desire to protect gold.
Labor injunctions are issued on the sole affidavits of
men who place spies in unions. ' , :
Labor injunctions class the patronage of workers and
sympathizers as a property right that cannot be jeopar
dized Vya statement of facts.
Labor injunctions still the voice of protest against -the
grinding policy of unfair employers. .
Labor injunctions differ from injunctions for the pro
tection of impersonal rights. ,
La bJ injunctions guess a violation of the criminal
code wllf be committed. '.
Labor injunctions are strike-time "laws."
Labor injunctions axe not entitled to the respect of a
liberty-loving people.
Labor injunctions are judge-made laws, thanks to Wil
liam Howard Taft. Toledo Union Leader.
