Workers Wives Victims of the Degen
erate Employers in Pennsylvania.
"A pit of infamy where men are
driven lower than the degradation of
slaves and compelled to sacrifice
their wives or daugthers to the vil
lainous foremen and little bosses to
be allowed to work. I was allowed
to enter the plant at my will & few
years ago, but I saw too much of the
malicious crime perpetrated daily,
and the gates closed on me. It is
too horrible to discuss."
This statement was made by Rev.
Father A. F. Toner, pastor of St.
Mary's Roman Catholic church, Mc-
Kees Rocks, when asked what he
knew of the treatment the employes
of the Pressed Steel Car company
received.
Daniel Kissam Toung of Philadel
phia, writing to the New York Call
on the McKees Rocks strike, said:
Our Pittsburg salesman told me
that at the works of the Pressed Steel
Car company at McKees Rocks, near
Pittsburg, the bosses and foremen
threatened the Polish, Bohemian and
Slavish workers with discharge un
less the wives and daughters of the
workers were given to them for pros
titution, and that starvation being
stronger than morality among the
poor wretches, these demands were
frequently acceded to. It appeared
to be much earlier for the worker
with a comely wife or daughter to
obtain work at the mills than for
others. This salesman is not at all
a socialist, but is a very good repre
sentative of the employe who up
holds capitalism and all its hideous
phases, and therefore I have no reason
to doubt bis word."

WONDERS NEVER CEASE.
One Federal Judge Actually Denies a
Labor Injunction.
Judge Baker, of the federal court in
Indiana, denied an application on the
26th of the American Sheet and Tin
Plate company of Elwood, Indiana, for
an Injunction restraining its striking
employes from picketing the plant of
the company. The company com
plained that some of its employes had
been attacked by strikers and intim
idated; that the wives of some of the
men who had remained at work had
been threatened and hints male that
homes would be dynamited; and. that
but for (the picketing of the strikers,
many employes would return to work.
but under present conditions were
afraid to do so. But Judge Baker de
nied the injunction because, as he
said, the affidavits of the company did
not make any specific allegations
against any of the defendants, and
did not show that the defendants had
attempted to interfere with the free
dom of the company in the labor
market. He held that the strikers bad
a legal right to organize and leave
their employer in a body, and that
they did not interfere with, the em
ployer's access to the labor market
Elwood city authorities testified that
the strike had been orderly.

men from the company's mills to act
as cagers and track men. No doubt

How about your good wife? Has she an electric
