VOL. V 1 {. LABOR AND INDUSTRY SOME NOTES OF INTEREST TO UNION WORKMEN. What Glassblowers’ Victory Means to Many Men—Does It Pay to lie a Unionist—State Employment Agencies anti How They Are Conducted. 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 h-3 l____1 * V pi pi o o Q DEVOTED TO THE INTEREST OP JOHNSON COUNTY AND MIDDLE QEOBQIA, w RIGHTSVILLE. GA.. THURSDAY , NOVEMBER 16 , 1899 . 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 exact for Tho 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. Moral—Don’t try to account for Anything.—George Ade, in Chicago Record. 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.
