Why Labor Laws Are Knocked Out.
A few Aonths ago the legislature of
Michigan enacted a law empowering a
commission to purchase the street rail¬
ways of Detroit and turn them over to
the municipality. The commission or¬
ganized and entered upon the dis¬
charge of its duty. Now the Supreme
court of the state has declared uncon¬
stitutional the law under which it was
proceeding, and further progress is im¬
possible. Things remain as they have
been. This is but a repetition of what
is constantly occurring in every state.
It emphasizes the fact that those who
desire a speedy accommodation of laws
to new conditions, industrial as well as
otherwise, must direct their attention
not simply to the makers of laws, but
also to Interpreters of the same. They
must elec.t or insist upon the appoint¬
ment of judges who will resolve a
doubt, when it arises, in favor of ac¬
commodation to show conditions,
rather than against it, as is now almost
uniformly the case. I do not mean to
suggest that the judiciary is flagrantly
corrupt. Speaking strictly for myself,
I believe that a higher degree of in¬
tegrity characterizes the bench as a
whole than characterizes any other
profession or calling, except possibly
the medical. I know very many of my
readers do not share this opinion, hut
1 $tm sure they will accord me the same
right to form opinions they themselves
exercise. What I do mean to call at¬
tention to is this: Every condition of
ais surroundings tends to make a
judge, no matter hpw upright, very
earful of sanctioning an innovation,
he can possibly avoid doing so. On
yof; rock many a labor law has suf
ff ,,i shipwreck. It is incumbent upon
yon people, and especially upon the la
, dement, to strive to elevate men to
■each who are not only competent
I? nonest, but imbued with the con¬
viction that new conditions need new
rerne. tjj eg and ready to act on this be
,
Mef. The law moves slowly; judicial
iiiterp:- station lags still further behind.
R.evol<^ solely utlons have been precipitated
on this account—their sole pur¬
pose e i n g to bring law and the inter¬
pret' on thereof up to date. I don't
lmag e we are to have any revolution,
excer one kind: A revolution in the
ideas the people when they set about
cboos ; those who shall make and in
terpre . a ws, or appoint the interpre
te? B , at the case may be. And that
revolut; a should come as quickly as
possibles, It can’t arrive too soon.
‘‘Wanted:' A Bureau of Information.”
Under ablove caption Mr. Paul J.
Maas, who tljie ■ conducts the labor depart¬
ment of Chicago Times-Herald,
publishes /'article ?the following incisive and
pertinent that must, I think,
commend itself to all fair men who
read it. Hie says;
Although the American labor move

tor in evet’y walk of life, and is here

wherever it,can, there is still in the
movement too much that savors of
child’s play. I refer to the proneness
of labor bodies, great and small, to
unmercifully score and condemn pub¬
lic men and public officials without an
Investigation or hearing for some real
or fancied Injury or wrong done or in¬
tended to the laboring man or
cause. The labor movement in this
country has arrived at that* "stage
where it is absolutely necessary and
essential that either the

er or
Information could be gathered
easily and with littje or no expense,
and many a labor union could be
ed from the humiliation of having
demned or judged a person too
ly and too severely. Almost
day we read accounts of this or

in all parts of the country
having adopted resolutions which
placed a stigma on some public person.
Such acts as these usually occur when
some member or clique in an organiza¬
tion has failed to impress some public
man or public official with their
“greatness,” and in their eagerness to
“sacrifice their valuable time and tal¬
ents” have failed of obtaining politi¬
cal preferment; again, it occurs when
these persons decide to remove some
obnoxious (?) being and All the place
with some one after their own heart,
never stopping ,„ r , moment con
siaer what the incumbent may have
done for the cause of labor in the past,
mueh , what he may io in the fu
ture. As a rule, , words „ of condemna¬
tion generally follow a tirade of some
glib-tongued “ wind-jammer, who envies
everybody _____ , success in life; a person „ „
whose greatest pleasure is to tear
down rather than build up The speak
f is J* followed “ore lung by several power than, in the eloquence same
strain, and when all have exhausted
their 1 e " vocaouiary vocabularv of or invectives invectives a a flm- n.p
pant set of resolutions is adopted and
the harm is done. The friend of the
abUSe J ] part ?, * h ° ha ! l °
*’ Jse knows little heed, if any, will be ,
paid to his words of defense, and very
much less to his suggestions for an in
vestigatlon. As .... it is, we of . the ., labor¬ . ,
ing class allow ourselves to be Influ¬
enced or become prejufliced against a
policy or person through the opinions
or advice of our friends without mak¬
ing a personal investigation for our
selves that we may know the advice
ha?, not been prompted by ulterior mo¬
tive.
No cause can prosper when it adopts
falsehood or misrepresentation as its
foundation stone. All well-meaning
citizens will gladly support every le¬
gitimate effort to aid the cause of la¬
bor. This cause, however, can only be
injured and in no way benefited by
acts of unwise friends (?), who intro¬
duce and carry resolutions based on a
tissue of falsehoods. Justice for all—
just what labor unions stand for—de¬
mands a personal investigation or ac¬
quaintance before judgment i* passed.
If the American Federation of Labor
or the central bodies in industrial cen¬
ters hijve a bureau of information—
the information to be collected by fair
minded committees—many distressing
incidents, some of which are a dis¬
grace to organized labor, would never
occur. Justice to all demands that
some action along these lines be con¬
sidered, and a more convenient time
cannot be found than the present.
So tea.
The United Hatters of America have
appointed a committee having for its
purpose the unionizing of all non-uni¬
on hat factories in this country.
The Boot and Shoe Operatives’ union
of Great Britain has forfeited $1,500,
because a branch struck work contrary
to the terms of the arbitrator’s award.
One-half of the world’s production of
petroleum is credited to the United
States, and the Standard Oil company
controls a pretty good share of both
the home and foreign yield.
Mr. T. H. Young, the livery man of
Syracuse, N. Y., who precipitated the
trouble that ended in the disruption
of the Hack and Cab Drivers’ union,
of that city, a few weeks ago, has
been sold out by the sheriff.
The federal industrial commission
as a body has adjourned for the sum¬
mer vacation, although three or four
sub-committees will remain at work
during the two months when the com¬
plete body will not be in session.
Factory inspectors In the .district in
and around Pittsburg have started a
crusade against violators of.the state
factory laws. Proceedings are being
instituted against laundry companies
and owners of large establishments
where women, girls and minors are
employed more than sixty hours per
week.
Packing house employes to the
number of about 500 held a meeting in
the stockyards district of Chicago,
acid formed the Packing House Em¬
ployes’ union, the purpose of which is
to take into one organization all the
employes in the yards other than
those which are organized at the pres¬
ent time.
The settlement of the street railway
strike at Cleveland is a victory for the
strikers. They went out because the
company refused to recognize their la¬
bor union and to deal with the em¬
ployes as an organized body, and they
cqme back with the union “recog¬
nized” and under an agreement that
80 per cent of the old employes be
taken back and the rest within a very
short time.
Discussing the outlook for the ma¬
chinery trade, the Iron Age says that
additions to the iron and steel pro¬
ducing capacity of the country will not
be made eo rapidly as many people
hope. Brick and stone can be had in
unlimited quantities, but projectors of
new works find trouble in securing
equipment. Builders of engines con¬
forming to modern requirements are
with work, and it is doubtful
if contracts could be placed for the de¬
livery of blowing engines or heavy
rolling mill engines much under a
year and a half. A large steel com¬
pany recently arranged for engines
for a projected plate mill, and the best
delivery that they could get was fifteen
months.
POLITICAL THINKERS
THEY WERE ON EARTH FIFTY
YEARS AGO.
Pennsylvania Democracy Hall a Century
Ago Would Pass for Populism To-day
—An Address Issued by the Philadel¬
phia Young Democracy.
About fifty years ago the Young
Democracy held a convention and is¬
sued an address to the public, which
contains fundamental truths not found
in the political platforms now issued
by such city Democrats as are con¬
trolled by Choicer, Harrison and the
present Philadelphia boss, whoever he
may be.
This old address of the Young De¬
mocracy is very gooct Populism or Bry
anism. Read it:
“The time is coming when a man
will no longer be regarded with abject
and cringing subserviency, simply be¬
cause he possesses millions more than
he wants, or can use, while millions
are pining in poverty, hunger, aud
nakedness.
“The time will come when those who
build houses shall own houses;
“When those who create all the
wealth, shall own at least a portion of
the wealth they produce.
“When those who work shall eat;
“And when the great law of Chris¬
tianity In relation to the accumulation
of wealth shall at least be hinted at
once in an age by those who are its
professed teachers and disciples.
“Well has It been said that where
the poor are robbed there is a fearful
reaction upon the rich. The effect of
their crime and destitution falls upon
the opulent in the shape of taxes, etc.
“The criminal, made so by our anti
Christian social system, lives at other
people’s expenses; if he is prosecuted,
it is at other people’s charges; if he is
in prison, it is at other people’s coet;
if he is at large, he lives upon other
people’s property; if he is in confine¬
ment with a crowd of others, he is sent
to a school of crime,a nursery of abom¬
ination.
“True economy as well as expedi¬
ency, if not religious duty, will one day
teach us that it is far easier, and far
cheaper, to prevent than to punish
crime. We shall some day or other
seek means to reform rather than de¬
stroy. Some day or other we shall
provide a shelter for the myriads of
children who are born to a necessary
inheritance of crime, under our pres¬
ent system—for those who can be no
other than vicious by the very condi¬
tions of their present lot.
“The nation’s wealth depends upon
those who toil.
“How then does it happen that the
wealth creators are the poor, the
wretched, the destitute, constantly
creating wealth, yet continuing to be
poor?
“Affording to the world the strange
anomaly of the poverty of the creators
of riches!
“All honor to those who labor—all
gratitude and respect to the men who
toil, whether at the loom, the hissing
engine, or on the heaving wave; wheth¬
er in battling with the angry elements,
or breaking the stubborn sward;
whether wielding the hammer, the
ax, the shuttle or the spade; all that
blesses man on sea or shore, we owe
to the men who toll.
“They are entitled to the first rank
of society, and will occupy that posi¬
tion to which they are justly entitled,
when society shall be organized upon
the basis of Christianity and brother¬
hood.
“They will then be no longer repre¬
sented, or rather misrepresented, in
our legislative halls; they will repre¬
sent themselves.
“They should have done this long
ago, they can tell their own story, re¬
form their grievances, represent their
iwb wants and wishes, far better than
any one can d« it for them.
“They are as an hundred to one —it
is their own fault if they do not make
laws to suit themselves.
“We maintain that every man has a
right to live, and to live In comfort.
“Heaven never made the rich alone
to smile, while the whole earth Is ring¬
ing with laughter—never made a scanty
few to feast In Idleness, while the toll¬
ing many are weeping in their rags
and wretchedness, want and woe, wear¬
ing out their lives in a long death
dream of hopeless misery; the God¬
like soul blasted with penury and ig¬
norance; fever filling heart and brain
with horror, from the cradle to the
grave.
“This is a land of liberty; but what
is political liberty without social lib¬
erty, equality and fraternity?
“Talk not about the blessings of lib¬
erty to the pauper mass who sell them¬
selves day by day for a paltry sum
Just sufficient to keep them from the
graven
“Liberty means something higher
than freedom to toil and starve.
“Selfishness everywhere—from the
teacher to the taught—is the creed of
our times.
“Its festering venom has filled the
world with blood and crime.
“We must demand a reform of these
crying evils, and demand it boldly.
“Let the mass unite and resolve, and
the work is done.
“Without union we are nothing, and
can do nothing; with it we can move
the world.
“We demand that one man shall not
hereafter be allow-ed to hold ualimited
thousands of acres of the common in¬
heritance, while hundreds and thou¬
sands of the race are homeless and des¬
titute.
“We maintain that every man is en¬
titled to as much of the earth's sur¬
face as may be necessary to supply the
wants of each and all.
“The first great natural right of ev¬
ery human being—the most essential,
the most vitally important of all with
which mail ds most endowed, is the
right to as much of the food and other
necessaries of life as will make exist¬
ence not only endurable, buf a pleasure
and a blessing.
“This right is as old as creation—it
is coeval with man’s wants, and is as
inalienable as life itself.
“If a man has a right to live, he has
a right to a place, a home in which to
live, and a right to all the necessary
means which go to make life a benefit.
“Man has just as much right to the
means of living as he has to life; the
one grows out of the other, and he can
as justly he divested of the one as of
the other.
“He who robs another of the means
of life, as certainly commits a murder
as he would have done had he thrust a
dagger into his heart.”
THE WAY THE PEOPLE RULE.
The "people rule in this land,” you
say?
“Yes.”
Then the people must be favorable
to the gigantic trusts that are robbing
them?
“Well-—no, you see they”—
And the people decided to pay $20,
000,000 for the Philippine people and
islands.
“Oh, no. McKinley Instructed the
peace commission *o—”
And then the people declared that
the Filipinos were too barbaric to
govern themselves, so ignored their
plea for self government, and thus
brought on the war—
"No, that isn't, the how. You see
McKinley and Alger and Han—”
And the people don’t want the gov¬
ernment to issue Its own money, and
so they ordered bills Introduced Into
congress giving bankers an iron clad
monopoly of the money business?
“No, the people didn’t. The bank¬
ers caused those bills to be introduced
—confound ’em—but—”
And the people ordered embalmed
and rot “refrigerated beef” for our sol¬
dier boys in Cuba, and then—
“No, sir; that was done by that Al¬
ger through Eagan, and if—”
And then the people gave Eagan a
seven year furlough on full pay, and
then—
“No, sir; the president did that, and
the people—”
Aud the people then appointed two
whitewashing committees to coat and
bury the embalmed—
“No, sir; McKinley did that, and say
—hold on now—say, I guess the peo¬
ple don’t rule after all. May be we’re
changing into a kingdom or something
like it.”
HOW ABOUT YOU?
What kind of a bird are you any¬
how, that you want more money in
circulation and vote for less?
That you advocate free silver and
vote for gold bugs?
That you want a home and vote
yourself homeless?
That you want good wages and vote
yourself out of a job?
That you want to get out of debt
and vote to destroy half of the money
and double your debts?
That you love your family and vote
them out of a home?
That you love liberty and vote for
wage and debt slavery?
That you profess Christianity and
vote for hell on earth?
That you love to dwell among hon¬
est neighbors and vote rascals into of¬
fice?
That, as a young man, you are ambi¬
tious, you vote to fill the land with
tramps and enforced thieves?
That you adore knowledge and vote
to suppress it?
That you enjoy life and vote to
make life miserable?
That you bqjieve In a republican
form of government and vote for Impe¬
rialism?
That you call yourself a man and
vote to crush manhood?
We repeat, what kind of a man are
you anyway?—Centralia (Ill.) X Rays.
It may seem pessimistic, but the
young man who puts away all thought
of marriage in the present condition
of all wealth in the hands of the few,
will get the most happiness In the end.
The poorhouses are full of people who
have lost all In the endeavor to support
somebody else, the insane asylums are
full of Inmates who have been linked
with somebody else, the thousands of
suicides attest the Vain struggle to get
support for wives and children, the Jail
and the prisons are all lull of men who
committed crime to support somebody
else,—Duluth (Minh.J World.
TONGA’S KING A BRIDEGROOM.
The Pacific Inland Monarch Hud All
Sort? of Trouble Getting a fiaeAi.
The marriage of King George of
Tonga, an island in the Pacific, has
been celebrated after postponements
that suggest some of the incidents in a
tropical comic opera. The news of the
marriage has come here by the steam¬
ship Mariposa from Honolulu.
The august King who took a degree
of B. A. at tho Wellington University,
New Zealand, where lie was the worst
player on the college cricket team, Is
one of the most Civilized mounrebs in
the Pacific. He plays a banjo, speaks
several languages and was the father
of a law imposing a line of $5 on any¬
one convicted of cannibalism.
When lie arrived at the age of twen
ty-foir years, a short time ago, he an¬
nounced that he was ready to take a
Queen. All the marriageable maidens
in ilie kingdom were paraded before
him. lie set two aside as the most
promising.oue tlie daughter of James .T.
Kulm, the chief of police, and the
other the daughter of a peasant of
Niba Island.
Being unable to decide which to mar¬
ry, lie resolved to wed them both. Ar¬
rangements were made for a grand
double ceremony. The tax collectors
worked hard and tilled the royal treas¬
ury with gold to defray the cost of the
festivals.
Just’before the day set for the festi¬
val Kaapar. the crown treasurer, took
all tho assets of the King, and putting
them on the royal steam yacht, headed
a straight course for the horizon.
The grand double wedding had to be
abandoned. The two brides were sent
back weeping to their parents, and the
King and the indignant Chief of Police
busied themselves mailing circulars
bearing descriptions of the missing
money, yacht and tlilef.
The wicked crown treasurer came to
grief however. Having no capable
pilot, lie ran the yacht on a coral reef.
He was captured and put in a leaky
jail, from which he easily escaped, not
with any of the money, however.
Now all is well and the King is tho
husband of the beauteous Princess Li
vinia.
This is the second time some one has
carried off all the King’s property, and
lie lias written to American safe manu¬
facturers for their catalogues.

A Fancy of llic Hour.
One of the newest fads is the collect¬
ing of belt buckles from different parte
of the world as souvenirs. Travellers
can pick up curious coins in odd places,
and many bits of fine silver aud gold
arc found in old junk shops and pawn¬
brokers’ shops. Uncut jewels are
seized upon and set iu unique designs,
and each of these tells its story to the
owner and forms the subject for inter¬
esting tales.
W. D. Howells says that genius is
simply hard work. But that is not
the reason why every man who thinks
he is overworked regards himself ns
a genius. The trouble with most
“geniuses” is that they don’t know
how to work.
