SOME ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
UNION WORKMEN.

Help Paul. .
Wherefore?
Black sea, black sky! A ponderous steam¬
ship driving .j
Between them, laboring westward on
her way,
And In her path a trap of Death's con¬
triving
Waiting remorseless for its easy prey.
Hundreds of souls within her frame lie
dreaming,
Hoping and fearing, longing for the
light;
With human life and thought and feeling
teeming.
She struggles onward through the star¬
less night.
Upon her furnace fire new fuel Hinging.
The swarthy firemen grumble at the
dust
Mixed with tlie coal, when suddenly up
springing,
Swift through the smokestack like a
signal thrust.
Flares a red flame, a dread Illumination!
A cry of tumult! Slowly to her helm
The vessel yields’ mid shouts of acclama¬
tion.
And joy and terror all her crew o’er
whelm;
For, looming from the blackness drear
before them
Discovered is the iceberg—hardly seen—
Its ghastly precipices hanging o'er them.
Its reddened peaks, with dreadful
chasms between.
Ere darkness swallows lt again, and
veering
Out of its track, the brave ship onward
steers,
Just grazing ruin. Trembling still and
fearing.
Her grateful people melt in prayers and
tears.
Is it a mockery, their profound thanks¬
giving?
Another ship goes shuddering to her
doom
Unwarned, that very night, with hopes
as living,
With freight as precious, lost amid the
gloom;
With not a ray to show the apparition
Waiting to slay her, none to cry "Be¬
ware!”
Rushing straight onward headlong to per¬
dition,
And for her crew no time vouchsafed
for prayer!
Could they have stormed heaven's
with anguished prayer
It would not have availed a
weight
Against their doom. Yet were they dis¬
obeying
No law of God, to beckon such a fate.
And do not tell me the Almighty Master
Would work a miracle to Bave the one.
And yield the other up to dire disaster.
By merely human Justice thus outdone!
Vainly we weep and wrestle with our sor¬
row—
We can not see His roads, they lie so
broad;
But His eternal day knows no tomorrow.
And life and death are all the same
with God.
—Celia Thaxter.
Eschew Secrecy.
The International Typographical
union at Springfield, Mass,, has re¬
solved that hereafter representatives
of the press and employing printers
who may choose to attend shall be ad¬
mitted to the meetings of the union.
This action was taken after a discus¬
sion which brought out the advantages
to be derived by trades unions from
publication of the truth about their
wprk, and by disabusing the minds of
employers as to secret and discred¬
itable methods of conducting union
business. I see that this action is
being widely noted In the press as be¬
ing "probably the first time a trades
union in the United States has adopt¬
ed such an open policy.” While It may
not be the first time, it certainly is a
radical departure from time-honored
custom, and a step In the right direc¬
tion. Whatever is done in secret
arouses suspicion of its fairness.
Neither have I ever known employ¬
ers to have been ignorant of what was
going on in unions, if they cared par¬
ticularly to find out. The rule of se¬
crecy keeps matters secret only when
no one cares to learn about them.
Open meetings should be the rule
everywhere. They must be, if orga¬
nized labor is to receive general rec¬
ognition as a body of -dignity second to
none. Nothing, I believe, would more
rapidly advance the cause of labor
than the removal of secrecy from Us
meetings. Secrecy may have been nec¬
essary In the past, when it was al¬
most a crime to belong to a union.
That day has gone. It Is now held as
honorable to belong to a union as it
is to be a member of a church, a po¬
litical party, or a benevolent society.
The removal of secrecy does not mean
that every counsel of the union shall
be open to the world, any more than
open sessions of congress mean that
every word spoken by a committee in
deliberation must be uttered in a loud
voice before a gallery of spectators.
A union, as a firm, must at times de-,
liberate with no outsiders present.
But there is a wide difference between
going into executive or secret session
when necessary and constantly saying
to the world that under no circum¬
stances must the light of day penetrate
to where you work.
Labor is a giant. Its counsels are
honorable. Its ends create a better
America. The more labor Js under-

Socialist and Monopolist.
The trust may be quite accurately
defined as the modern socialist and
monopolist. Seems like an unusual
combination, but it’s so. Mr. Francis
Thurber, the millionaire grocer, a few
days ago told the national industrial
commission that trusts ave socialists
in principle, which every one knows,
and that they are necessary, which Is
not so certaim. That trusts are monop¬
olists as well goes without saying. One
of the latest illustrations is the action
of the tin plate trust, that has started
in to squeeze the sheet mill owners on
a plan similar to that used by them in
compelling the manufacturers of tin
mill machinery to enter Into contracts
with them for five years. Sheet own¬
ers are now unable to secure a set of
new rolls unless they sign an agree¬
ment not to use the rolls for rolling
plates for tinning. In years past, when
organized labor knew less than now,
single unions or large bodies occa¬
sionally overlooked the fact that they
were not the whole beach, but sim¬
ply a pebble on It, and not the only
one at that. Trouble followed every
time, and just as regularly lodged with
the organization that had overlooked
that great fact. Labor has learned.
It has prflted by mistakes. New trusts
are pursuing the same course,
leads to the destruction of all who
persist in traveling it. Trusts want
the earth. They want to dictate hours
and wages. They want to control
kets, say what and how much
may produce; when, where, to whom,
and at what price you are to sell lt.
All this will lead to the smashing
trusts. 1 believe that the same
ine American spirit that forced
abandonment of the “bulldoze”
ple by trades unions will force
abandonment of that same policy
trusts. Trusts will certainly go
smash, unless there Is evolved in
conflict a new sort of trust—one

trust will be evolved. Conditions

What Help. Petar Will Help Paul.
The following extract from the
for the annual convention of the
ternational ’Longshoremen’s
tion, to be held at Buffalo, N. Y.,
11, calls attention to the hardest
of facts, and should receive the
tention of every workingman or
an. After it has'received
the conclusions reached should be
ed upon. Here it is:
“Every effort Is being made to
this convention one of the largest
most thoroughly representative
held, so that every branch of the craft
may receive due attention. Were
not for the fact that the
men had banded together under
banner of the International
shoremen’s association, their
tions would not be what they arc
day, but unity in action resulteJ in
many enjoying a fair living. But
are yet many things to be done;
of our people are yet unorganized, and
it is to their interest to point out
them the necessity of affiliation.
stronger we are in numbers of locals,
the less we will have to fear the oppo¬
sition. The International is what the
delegates to the convention make it.
Select as your representatives men of
good, sound Judgment; men who are
conservative in thought, yet ready for
action. Upon the delegates you send
depends the future of our association,
and it is necessary for each local to be
represented by its proper number
two. At no time would it be more im¬
portant that each iocM be represented
than at this convention. The vessel
interests are fast combining and merg¬
ing into a trust. If it is beneficial for
the carriers lt is certainly equally good
for us to complete our trust, which is
more perfect than that of the car¬
riers.”
What this call impresses upon ’long¬
shoremen should and must be im¬
pressed upon every worker, and lived
up to by every worker, If labor is to
get where lt ought to be.

PICTURE OF TODAY.
READJUSTMENTS IN
SOCIETY BEING FORCED.
Realistic Description ot the Ordeal
That All Employes Are in Danger of
Undergoing These Gold Standard Trust
Times.
Falling prices Increase the burden
debt upon all farmers, business men
manufacturers. For nearly thirty
years prices have been falling, con¬
stantly squeezing out of business the
weak men and weak firms. The busi¬
ness once done by the bankrupt small
fry naturally goes to the surviving
strong concerns, and thus the genesis
of the trust evil Is falling prices. And
generally falling prices, as the most
subservient gold standard economists
will certify, Ib due to the increase of
production and exchange faster than
the volume of money.
If, during tho last thirty years, the
mints had remained open to all of the
silver offered for coinage, and in case
the free coinage ot silver as well as
gold did not give us a currency vol¬
ume large enough to maintain stable
prices, legal tender paper money had
been issued in sufficient quantity to
prevent the fall of the general aver¬
age of prices, there would not have
been as many small concerns driven
out of business, nor so many huge
trusts and combines formed. The trust
movement, the natural product of the
gold standard policy, has now acquired
a tremendous magnitude, ai:C the re¬
sult is that thousands of men who
have heretofore commanded high sala¬
ries—such as traveling salesmen, man¬
agers and head bookkeepers—are being
thrown out of employment and find it
hard to obtain any kind of work. This
Is the serious problem of today and the
more serious problem ot tomornow,
and the waving of "prosperity” ban¬
ners by a mammon-controlled daily
press cannot hide the facts.
First the general fall of prices, from
1870 until today, forced out of business
the smaller business men, who ob¬
tained employment with the large con¬
cerns. Now the large concerns are
forming Into trusts, closing down all
unnecessary factories, dispensing with
numerous traveling salesmen, man¬
agers and bookkeepers, as well as me¬
chanics and laborers. And where are
these displaced men to find employ¬
ment? This is a question that will
soon .seriously disturb this nation.
They cannot get jobs as skilled labor¬
ers because they have not the skill.
They stand no chance of obtaining
common laborers’ jobs, because there
are already more common laborers
than jobs and men with soft, white
hands are not wanted for rough work.
The army of well-paid employes is be¬
ing reduced every day in this trust era.
What arc we to do about it? Present
political policies may suit- you well
enough while you are drawing a good
weekly salary, but how will you feel
wh*n you cannot get a Job of any
kind? Tho following story from a
New York paper Is a picture of a
in that predicament, and Illustrates
what the country is coming to:
Two years ago 1 lost a good, well
paying position. My employers were
cutting down expenses and I had to be
cut down with the rest of the extrava¬
gances. My wife and I were not at all
worried. I had a little money laid by.
I knew I was competent—I had good
letters from my old firm—and I
thought I could walk right out almost
any day and get a good position. We
had cpmfortable rooms, plenty to eat,
good clothes and we knew some very
nice people who seemed to like us. I
rather enjoyed my Idleness for a week
or so. I had worked hard for a long
time, and my wife and I took a kind
of holiday together. We went out to
the parks and went sight-seeing In a
small way all over the town.
Then I started out to look for work.
I _went to see people I knew. They
were All very glad to see me. They all
said nice things about my abilities, but
they were all “cutting down.” I ad¬
vertised. No answers came. I read
every paper in New York—but the
Journal—and I answered every ad that
seemed at all promising. Our money
began to dwindle. We took one room
instead of two. We laughed and said
it was easier that way. My wife said
she thought it would be fun to do a
little housekeeping, instead of board¬
ing, and we cooked and ate our meals
in that one room. We said it was fun—
like a picnic all the time.
I went out every day and spent every
evening writing letters in answer to
the different advertisements. When I
went out in the morning I always
brushed up and looked the best I
could, and my wife always told me 1
looked too prosperous for a man hunt¬
ing for work.
She kept my clothes furbished up,
and when I met people I knew I talked
with them just as If everything was
all right. None of our friends dreamed
that we were really in danger of being
hard up. We had always been econom¬
ical and thrifty, and my wife has such
a way of putting the best foot fore¬
most that every one thought we were
very well to do. I got to haunting em¬
agencies. I talked with men
and at the parks. When I had
till I was tired out I always
to one ot the little parks and
dosvn to get time to brace up a
before I went home. The parks
full of men who are trying to
up."
My wife began to look anxious. One
she was sitting by the window
and the light shone on her
I saw something shining. I
bent closer and saw a gray hair. I
that she had been wearing her
differently for a while. I pushed
it back off her forehead, and there on
the temples, under the front locks, it
was all shining like silver.
She began to laugh, and then she
threw back her head and burst out
crying. Then the whole stcry came
out.
She had been looking for work, too,
but had found none. When I was out
tramping the street she was out, walk¬
ing up and down the city, trying to
get sewing or something to do.
She had had charge of the money,
and she told me then that it was all
gone but one dollar.
Well, we sort of faced thing3 that
day. She said that she would get a
little something to do somehow, and
get money enough to go home to her
folks on a visit. They lived up the
state, and they wouldn’t suspect any¬
thing. She hated to leave me, but
we both knew it was the best thing we
could do.
But we never could get enough
money together to pay her way home.
We pawned everything we had and
lived on one meal a day, and that was
not a very big one.
1 had been out of work fourteen
months. One day a neighbor came In
and showed me a Journal. There was
an advertisement In it:
WANTED—For temporary work a
double-entry bookkeeper who has had
experience In a public accountant’s of¬
fice.
1 had answered so many advertise¬
ments- and found nothing that I’m
afraid I wasn’t quite as grateful to the
neighbor as I ought to have been.
To tell the truth, we had just 10
cents left In the house—and we hadn’t
one thing we could raise one cent
more on.
I wasn’t going to waste two cents
on a stamp. But that night my wife
came up behind me when I was sitting
With nay head on my hands. She
a pen into my hand.
“Try this time, dear," she said, "Just
for me.” .
So I did. I mailed the letter be¬
fore I went to bed.
The very next afternoon the post¬
man brought me a letter. It was from
the advertiser and asked me to call
at once.
I went. I was so weak and nervous
that I could scarcely talk, but I man¬
aged to answer the questions, some
way, and I got the situation.
When I went home I ran the last
two blocks. I guess people thought I
was crazy. I was—almost. My wife
heard me coming up the stairs; she
caught me when I came in the door.
“You needn’t speak, dear,” she said. "I
know. I heard you come In the door.
Let’s be thankful—oh, let’s be thank¬
ful.” This happened in April, 1898. 1
began at $15 a week.
POINTS FROM THE PRESS,
it you don’t believe that prosperity
is here, just look at the Oregonian this
week. It only contains 72 columns of
sheriff sale notices. That is indisputa¬
ble evidence of prosperity (for the Ore¬
gonian and money brokers).—People’s
Press.
The politicians will find in due time
that the question of municipal owner¬
ship of important city plants will be
a popular one and will find that the
party which demands municipal own¬
ership will be indorsed by the people.
—Cleveland Herald.
The man who has to wait till
political party convention is held
fore he expresses his convictions
about as useful to his country as a
rutabaga.—Industrial Freedom.
After more than five years of busi¬
ness adversity, depression and distress
the periodic revival of trade has set
and the relatively prosperous or
period will last until the greed of land¬
lords, bankers, capitalists and profit
seekers has taken and hoarded from
the people enough of their rightful
earnings In money to cause another
glut in the market. Pnoducers being
unable to buy back out of the mar¬
kets as much as they produce is what
causes periodic dullness.—Social Gos¬
pel.
Recently the Apollo Iron and Steel
Company of Vandergrlft, Pa., issued an
edict requiring their slaves to work up
until 4 o’clock Sabbath morning,
thereby giving God’s day, as parsons
say, a foul blow below tho belt, so to
remark.—Spirit af *76.
It sounds queer to hear a man talk
equal opportunities for all, with
privileges for none,and. then see
advocate a system which gives to
hundred men In a state the special
of making laws and denies all
in that line to a million.

MANILA’S STRANGE PANICS.
Our Forces There Unable to Learn the
Mystiry of Their Sudden Outbreak.
All of the recent letters from Manila
refer to the panics which seized the in¬
of the city at frequent inter¬
vals during the days just preceding
battle. One of these
is thus described by Capt. Elliott of
the Coffey ville company in the Twen¬
tieth Kansas: “About 2:30 o’clock the
natives and Chinese were observed to
be running in every direction. Pres¬
ently the soldiers began to come from
avenue in the direction of the
barracks. They moved quickly, but
with remarkable coolness and steady
demeanor. Corp. Barber, whom I had
sent on an errand near the barracks of
the First Battalion, came to my room,
saluted like the good soldier that lie is,
and said: ‘Captain, there is something
wrong going on in the city; the
are fairly Hying in all directions, the
Chinese are running like rats to tlieir
holes and the stores are being closed.’
“Like reports came in from all
tions from men who had been in differ¬
ent parts of the city. The call to quar¬
ters was sounded, the rolls were called
and every man of my company not on
duty answered ‘Here.’ The same
true of the.other companies of our bat¬
talion. Two or three officers were
caught away from home and did
get in on time.
“On the Escolta, at the bridge
Spain, and in the walled city the
that followed was beyond my
of description. No one seemed to
aware of the cause of the
I never witnessed any thing like it
my life. The wave of
swept over the entire city after
manner of a cyclone Tlie street
were jammed together in groups;
rabos’ carls piled up against one an¬
other and barricaded the
streets, quilez were interlocked,
turned and their occupants thrown
and shutters were closed and
barred; men. women and children ran
hither and thither and crowded and
jostled one another in tlieir frantic ef¬
forts to escape some dreadful, direful
calamity.
“Tlie soldiers alone behaved with ad¬
mirable coolness. Guards were doubled
and trebled. In au incredibly short
space of time platoons of infantry
were thrown across each approach to
the great, bridge, and no one but sol¬
diers- afoot was allowed to pass.
Armed men took possession of the Es¬
colta and the avenues leading thereto,
and used tlieir persuashe powers to
calm the storm and bring order out of
chaos. American courage and a dis¬
play of American sense and judgment
prevailed. In less than an hour the
‘whirlwind’ had passed and trade nud
traffic were resumed. The question
with the soldier was. ‘Wliat in tlie
was it all about, anyway?”
Honors for a Fallen Foe.
From out the smoke and carnage of
die late war, one incident shines like a
ltar In a cloudy sky. It is that, of the
military funeral in Santiago last No¬
vember of General Vara del Hey. Four
months after the Spaniard had fallen
it El Cauey, lighting at the head of
Ids men, an aged general, Valderrama,
i irived from Spain to beg the body of
Ids former comrade. General Wood
nt once dispatched an officer and com¬
pany to find the grave, from which all
marks had been removed by the Cu¬
bans. After a long search the body
was identified and transferred to the
handsome coffin brought from Spain,
and escorted to the vessel by an Amer¬
ican band and battalion. As the cor¬
tege passed the palace, Gen. Wood and
staff stood at attention with bared
heads. “General Vara del Hey was a
brave man,” said the. chivalrous victor,
“and we honor his memory.” No won¬
der the old Valderrama said, in fare¬
well, “Yon belong to sv grand Nation.
We shall not forget this day. The
saints be with you and your people.”—

The movement for the study of the
Irish language iu Ireland has met an
obstacle in the opposition of a number
of prominent Irish educators, among
whom are Dr. Mahaffy and Dr. Atkin¬
son, both of Dublin University. Dr.
Atlduson is regarded as the greatest
living authority on the Irish language
and literature, and might have been
expected to favor tlie proposed renas¬
cence, but lie takes the surprising
ground that the mass of extant Irish
literature, including tlie modern folk¬
lore, is too Indecent for popular tench
tug.
