UNION WORKMEN.

What Glass blowers' Victory Means.
President D. A. Hayes of the Glass
Bottle Blowers' association of the
United States and Canada has written
an article on the settlement recently
effected by that association and the
Cumberland Glass company of Bridge
ton, N. J., which so strikingly illus¬
trates the advantages accruing to
workers from successful organization,
that I here present a summary of it:
The firm has agreed to recognize the
• association, its officers, and regularly
elected committees; it pays union
scale of wages, and abides by such
rules, etc., as do or may exist between
the Blowers’ and the Manufacturers’
associations. It was the largest non¬
union bottle-making concern in the
country, employing about 300 blowers
and 1,000 other men. It had been
fighting-the union since 1SS6. It had
been conducting a company store so
exacting that when April 8 last a strike
was declared, every one of the men
who went out was in debt to the same.
Now i the wages cf about 1,200 men
have been increased from ten to forty
per cent; they will be paid in cash,
and may spend their money where
they please. The firm stated that its
fight against the union cost it, directly
aud indirectly, $240,000. I do not
think it needs argument to prove that
the condition of the union glassblow
ers, etc., is substantially better than
was that of their non-union fellow
tollers. Individual blowers, no
how great their number, could
have gained the points won by the or¬
ganized blow r ers. What is true of glass
workers is true of every other branch
cf work, with possible exceptions so
minute as to be undiscernible to
naked eye. On the farm, in the woods,
the mine, the shop, the office, the ditch
and the bank, those who work should
organize. They must stand together
or fall separately. Capital realizes
the same thing is true of it. It doesn’t
set one dollar on edge, and another
and another beside, and expect each
all by itself to even preserve itself, let
alone bring returns. It lumps its
units into thousands, hundreds of
thousands, millions, hundreds of
millions. And the dollars are pre¬
served, increase, and well-nigh rule the
land. When I hear the non-union labor¬
er and mechanic marvel at the wisdom
of the captains of Industry, I some¬
times think it would he well if lie
could, just for a moment, be made to
marvel rather at the magnitude of his
folly in refusing to ally himself with
liis fellows.
State Labor Agencies.
The Illinois State Board of Statistics
has formally opened three free employ¬
ment offices in Chicago. The manner
of conducting these agencies is spe¬
cifically provided in the law, and work
throughout the state will be carried on
systematically. Superintendents must
report on Thursday of each week to
the State Bureau of Labor Statistics
the number of applications for posi¬
tions and for help received during-the
preceding week, and also those un¬
filled applications remaining on the
books at the beginning of the. week.
The secretary of labor statistics shall
in turn cause to he printed each week,
showing separately and in combina¬
tion, the lists received from each of¬
fice and shall mail a list to each
agency. A copy of these lists must
also be mailed to the factory and mine
inspectors in the state. Under the
law it is made the duty of the vari¬
ous-superintendents to place them¬
selves in communication with the prin¬
cipal manufacturers, merchants, and
other employers of labor in order that
the co-operations of employers of la¬
bor may be obtained. To this end the
superintendents are authorized to ad¬
vertise in the daily paper such situa¬
tions as they can fill. An applicant for
employment must fill out a regular
blank, giving name, address, kind of
employment desired, number of peo¬
ple dependent upon him or her,’the
reason for lack of employment and a
statement as to whether prevented
from obtaining work for religious or
other prejudicial reasons. After an
applicant for work is registered re¬
turn postal cards will lie used to carry
out the object of the law. One of these
cards will be sent to an applicant stat¬
ing that there is an opening at a cer¬
tain place. When the applicant visits
the employer named, the return postal
card must be returned to the employ¬
ment office, containing information as
to whether or not the position has been
accepted, and, if not, briefly stating
the reasons. The employer will be like¬
wise Informed by postal card that an
applicant will call on him, and it is
required that he return the card, stat¬
ing the disposition of the applicant.
Man as Man.
The United Mine Workers of Amer¬
ica, one of the many great bodies affili¬
ated with the Federation of Labor, is,
perhaps quite unconsciously, demon¬
strating very forcibly that organized

labor is thoroughly democratic—that
it knows no color, section, or creed.
In Barclay, ill., Mr. Webster Hutchins,
a negro miner from the South, is sec¬
retary of Local No. S26, U. M. W. of
A., and in a letter written in reply to
some resolutions adopted by a con¬
vention of colored men, recently held
in New Orleans. La., he says: “I will
say that I think that if the colored
men down South would organize and
come up here the white miners would
iet them work in the mines, and I want
them to know that I, as a colored man
find no difficulty in working in this
field. But if they come up here to take
the place of white miners at reduced
rates they will also he taking the
places of myself and other colored
union men, and I think the time has
arrived when it is the duty of both
colored and white men to stand to¬
gether in defense of their God-given
rights.” In Alabama, Tennessee, Vir¬
ginia, West Virginia, and Maryland,
white organizers of the U. M. W. of A.
are urging miners, white and black
alike, to join hands in the trades
union of their craft, and in the an¬
thracite regions of Pennsylvania,
where thousands upon thousands of
Italian and Slavish men, unable to
speak or read English, find employ¬
ment, like efforts are being made. The
United Mine Workers’ Journal fills
nearly half of its eight large pages
with matter printed in their language,
and organizers and lecturers of their
own race or conversant with their
tongue are being sent among them to
urge them to join fortunes with their
fellow-craftsmen. In another field the
same ideas are being carried out. The
New York city Typographical union Is
engaged in a conflict with one of the
great newspapers of the metropolis.
It is receiving the support, moral and
financial, of many other labor organ¬
izations. An English body, with head¬
quarters in I,ondon, promptly voted
several thousand dollars to assist In
the fight, and promised further aid-if
required. These are but a few of the
many points wherein organization
gives strength. A’non-union man may
be as ready to assist a fellow-worker,
but he cannot do it effectively. He
doesn’t know the other man, and the
other man doesn’t know him. He is
a civilian, not a soldier, and frequent¬
ly has to deal with compact organiza¬
tions when he tries to make good his
claim for a higher wage, a shorter
workday, improved surroundings. He
may entreat, but cannot insist; he may
prefer a petition, hut dare not present
an ultimatum.
frusta from Two Standpclnt*.
The Journal of the Knights of Labor
and the American Federationist do not
look at trusts from the same stand¬
point. Both no doubt mirror the senti¬
ment of the great majority of their
respective constituencies. The former,
in its current issue, substantially
summarizes pages of contents devoted
to the subject in this sentence: “Bust
the trusts, or the trusts will bust the
country.” The latter, in a brief edi¬
torial, says: “Organized labor looks
with apprehension at the many pana¬
ceas and remedies offered by theorists
to curb the growth and development or
.destroy tlie combinations of industry.
We have seen those who knew little of
statecraft and less of economics urge
the adoption of laws to ’regulate’ in¬
terstate commerce and laws to ‘pre¬
vent’ combinations and trusts, and we
have also seen that these measures,
when enacted, have been the very in¬
struments employed to deprive labor
of the benefits of organized effort,
while at the same time they have
simply proven incentives to more
subtly and surely lubricate the wheels
of capital’s combination.
"In the early days of our modern
capitalist system, when the individual
employer was the rule under which in¬
dustry was conducted, the individual
workmen deemed themselves suffici¬
ently capable to cope for their rights;
when industry developed and employ¬
ers formed companies, the working¬
men formed unions; when industry
concentrated into great combinations
the workingmen formed their national
and international unions, as employ¬
ments become trustified, the toilers or¬
ganized federations of all unions—
local, national and international—
such as the American Federation of
Labor. We shall continue to organize
and federate the grand army of labor,
and with our mottoes, lesser hours of
labor, higher wages, and an elevated
equal’ standard and of life, justice we shall all,” establish

one sees in aggregation and central¬
ization cf industries a deep-laid
scheme of a few to plunder the many;
the other a development that is as de¬
sirable as it is inevitable, demanding
only concerted, intelligent action on
part of the many to secure for them¬
selves a Just share of benefits accruing
therefrom. It is noteworthy that of
late years the growth of the Federation
has altogether outdistanced any addi¬
tions to the ranks of the other organ¬
ization.
The shoe industry in this country
gives employment to about 213,000 per¬
sons, without including kindred trades,
such as those employed in the manu¬
facture of leather. About 5 per cent
of these employes are in labor or¬
ganizations.
" A UNIVERSAL UiUUiilDflH TRUST IXUJOl.
------------
TO BE CONTROLLED BY JOHN
D. ROCKEFELLER.
When tho Standard Oil Magnate* Con¬
trol All of tho Railroads Production
of All Kindti, and Producers, Will lie
at Their Mercy*
Heretofore certain men with offices
in Wall street have controlled the
finances of this country, and the
money supply of the people. Certain
other men with offices in Wall street
have controlled the railroads of the
country. Other men with offices in
Wall street control most of the fac¬
tories of the country.
The thought has heretofore occurred
to many, and the question has been
asked, “What if these Wall street
gentlemen should pool their interests
and form one universal money, rail¬
road and factory trust?” What will
then be the condition of the rest of u»?
The Rockefellers (especially John D.
Rockefeller) have for years controlled
the oil business of the country, and
have been reaching after an absolute
monopoly of many other branches of
production. Now it appears that John
D. Rockefeller has leaped into the
saddle as a general railroad boss, from
which position he can easily dictate
terms to all of the trusts and make
himself the head of the looked for and
quickly coming universal trust.
When Cornelius Vanderbilt died a
few weeks ago many guesses were made
as to who would take his place in the
management of His great railroad prop¬
erties, and it was generally expected
that his son, Cornelius, Jr., would fill
his shoes as far as able. But to the
great surprise of those on the outside,
the great Standard Oil magnate, John
D. Rockefeller, took up the reins where
tlie head of the Vanderbilts left off,
and was elected to the directorate of
the New York Central.
On the heels of this comes the news
of a great-railroad combine that in¬
cludes the Vanderbilt systems, the
Rockefeller interests, and the roads
controlled by Collis P. Huntington.
The combine, which is said to he well
on toward the point of success, will
include all lines of railway leading to
the Pacific—the Great Northern, owned
by the Rockefellers, from Tacoma,
Wash., to Duluth; the Northern Pa¬
cific, under the same control, from
Portland, Ore., to St. Paul; the Central
Pacific, from San Francisco to Denver,
where it connects with the Union Pa¬
cific, owned respectively by the Hunt¬
ington syndicate and the Vanderbilts,
and reaching to New York City; and
finally, tlie Southern Pacific, the con¬
trol of which has recently been ac¬
quired by Huntington, from San Fran¬
cisco to St. Louis, Mo., where it con¬
nects with Vanderbilt and Rockefeller
lines.
There is not a single industry in the
United States not at the mercy of such
a trust as this one of railroads. The
great grain belt of the central Western
prairies, the mines of the Rocky moun¬
tains, the cattle raising district of the
Southwest, the cotton plantations of
the South, the iron and copper mines
of the North, the tobacco trade of the
central Southern states—all exist only
at the pleasure of the members of this
giant syndicate.
Even now the Rockefellers are in
undisputed possession of the oil and to¬
bacco industries of America through
the Standard Oil and Tobacco trusts;
they dominate the iron trade through
their control of the Northern mines
and a great fleet of lake carriers,
which bring their ore to Pittsburg to
he manufactured by the steel trust in
which the same capitalists are the
dominating force. With others they
now own the whisky trade of the
country, and the coal mines of Penn¬
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana are also in
the grasp of the Vanderbilts r and
Rockefellers.
No man can say where the autocratic
power of such a trust will end, it it is
allowed to remain under private con¬
trol. The government of a nation
could be paralyzed by its influence and
the people might be starved at their
whim, should they object to the trust
method of operation. Work or idle¬
ness would he for them to give or
withhold as best suited their interests,
and every penny invested in industry
might be drawn into their coffers
whenever they chose to pull the string.
Hurt Ilia Head Thinking;.
One day a Caddy sat in the Long
Grass near the Ninth Hole and won¬
dered if he had a Soul. His Number
was 27, and he almost had forgotten
his Real Name.
As he sat and Meditated two Play¬
ers passed him. They were going the
Long Round, and the Frenzy was upon
them.
They followed the Gutta Percha
Balls with the intent swiftness of
trained Bird Dogs, and each talked
feverishly of Brassy Lies and getting
past the Bunker and Lofting to the
Green, and Slicing into the Bramble
—each telling his own Game to the
Ambient Air, and ignoring what the
other Fellow had to say.
As they did the St. Andrew’s Full
Ewing for 80 Yards apiece and then
Followed Through with the usual Ex¬
planations of how it happened, tlie
Caddy looked at them and Reflected
that they were much Inferior to his
Father.
His Father was too Serious a Man
to get out in Mardi Gras Clothes and
hammer a Ball from one Red Flag to
another.
His Father worked in a Lumber
Yard.
He was an Earnest Citizen, who
seldom Smiled, and he knew all about
the Sliver Question and how J. Pler
pont Morgan done up a Free People
on the Bond Issue.
The Caddy wondered why it was
that his Father, a really Great Man,
had to shove Lumber all day and could
seldom get one Dollar to rub against
another, while these superficial John¬
nies who played Golf all the Time had
Money to Throw at the Birds. The
more he Thought the more his Head
ached.

Anything.—George Ade, in Chicago

A Few Interesting Figures.
Read these figures, which simply ex¬
press the hard facts, and are absolute¬
ly reliable, and teach them to your
children:
One-eighth of the people in tho
United States own seven-eighths of
the wealth of the country.
One per cent of the people own 55
per cent of tho wealth.
Only two-hundredth of 1 per cent of
the people own 29 per cent of the
wealth.
That is to say, that 1-200 of 1 per
cent of all the people in this nation
have secured already 29 per cent of
all the wealth of the nation; that is,
this small number now own one-quar¬
ter, and approaching one-third of the
entire wealth, or about 6,000 times
their share on a basis of brotherhood.
If we have come to this terrible
state of affairs in, say, fifty years, what
is before us, unless the people learn
their rights, and change the system.
And this change must come while
the people have the power.—George’s
Weekly.
Not tho Whole Thing.
It must be matter of regret to the
Republican tuft hunter that Mr. Mc¬
Kinley is not the whole thing—that
is, the whole country. It is his mis¬
fortune to he only the chief executive
of’the government, one-third of it,
really. We are getting close to the di¬
vine right, however, when it comes to
charge American citizens with treason
for daring to criticise so exalted a per¬
sonage as Mr. McKinley. This whole
matter was settled in the impeachment
of President Andrew Johnson, the rec¬
ord of which reveals the curious fact
that the same persons who denounced
as traitors those who stood by the
president of the United States, are now
denouncing those who oppose Presi¬
dent McKinley’s personal policy, as
also traitors, Treason, nowadays.
seems to be a sort of tapeworm, split
up into sections, each of which may
produce the same kind of a tapeworm
as its whole.
Kemember 11.
The earth is our mother. Remember
that. The earth is our mother. Let
this potent truth be burned into your
brain. Other tilings are important, but
the most important thing of all is to
settle equitably the relation of all men
to their mother, so that none shall be
disinherited. While some men are al¬
lowed to hold land idle, other men
must starve or worlt for starvation
wages. Tho land monopoly is the
great parent and breeder of all other
monopolies.—Jerry Simpson’s Bayonet.
Not the Whole Thing;.
It is depressing to note that the ex¬
clusive partnership between the Al¬
mighty and the Republican party no
longer exists. We so infer from the
statement of Mr. Alfred J. Shepherd,
an English graduate to the Congre¬
gational conference, who announces
that “God has cast upon the Anglo
Saxon race the responsibility of gov¬
erning the world.” The Republican
party is, therefore, only a minority
stockhoider.—Chicago Chronicle.
A Good Idea.
Suppose each voter in the United
States, before casting his ballot at each
election, should seriously ask himself
and seriously answer this question:
“Am I now really about to vote, or
am I now really about to be voted by
some persons who have in fact the
steering hand upon my party’s ma¬
chinery for the making of the ticket
I am about to put in the ballot box?”
Would it lead to different results?—L
A. Russell, in tho Public.
Ill a Nutshell.
Increase the money supply and
prices will advance and times improve
regardless of whether the money "is
white or yellow.—National Watchman.

The size’ of the head should bo in
proportion to the rest of the body.
Artists and horsemen have agreed that
tlie length of the head from the poll
to the extremity of the lips should
bear a certain relation to the size of
the rest of the body. This proportion
is stated as follows: Tho height of the
body from the withers to the ground,
or the distance between the points of
the shoulder and the hip joint should
be two and one-half times the length
of the head. If the distances are
more than two ami one-half times the
length of the head, it is too short; if
the reverse is the ease, it is too long, i j
When the head is the proper length 1
it is carried with ease, responds easily
to the action of the bit, and does not
burden the front legs. If too long, it
is also too heavy, displaces the center
of gravity forwards, bears heavily on
the reins, diminishing speed alul pre*
disposes to stumbling.
