I by While at t.hi: timu nol attempting to discuss the merits or otherwise of the modern trusts, it can be said that if the •1 i" i.de union is a combination or uudt in effect it has for it object, the advancement of the masses }t is not a close' corporation its doors open to all and its benefits a?e unlimited and shared alike by all. "While on 'he nther han't the modern trust, con r:-"]ied i'nd owned by the capitalists, js rxflusive in so far as it only ndmite a few it is re.etric.ted in its benefits to the few. and :s no regard for the *r the veal workers. There is iio iv:r.iv c-iuiporison between the mod ern trust ami the trade union in their u'feet upon the economic developments the ln-ispcs than there is between 'lialk and cheese. Those who make this comparison are secretly enemies of he trade unions.—Cigarmakers' Jour nal. Truue uniouc arc broad and liberal in their scope. They do not limit iheir membership to race, creed po litical or religious qualifications. They work upon the economic Held and em brace every one who will join regard less of any of the foregoing opinions of the applicant. As a consequence of this its growth Is limited only by the last unorganized man or woman of a given craft. This makes it the natural feasible and common sense sys tem of organization, and Is the under lying source of its great strength. Let us make comparision with other organizations as proof of this asser tion. The organization that is po litical in its nature and has declared for certain principles can hope to em brace only those who are of the. same opinion politically. The organization that is formed for the purpose of studying art can only hope to enroll those who are bent in that direction. SERVANT GIRL PROBLEM. A Writer in the Omaha News takes up the servant girl.problem, and urges the employment.of men as housekeep ers, cooks and chambermaids* The' principal reason given is- thafwen can do tlie work more satisfactorily than can the girls. Men, this writer ways, can got along bettor with the women than men. because they will not stand the nagging that women give their girls. Girls would rather work in a factory under men at less wages than ihcy would in a home under women, because, they have a certain amount of kitchen. For the men their time given at from a. m. to p. m. While there may be some merit in the News article, it is hardly probable that it will be generally adopted. There is one thing which servant girls should do, and that is organize for .shorter hours. They have reason to feel dissatisfied because of the long hours they are compelled to be on duty. Employers, when they learn the the trouble is more on their own account than with the girls, will not be faced with this question so fre quently. The question of wages is not so important as that of hours. One lady recently said that the time of her girls belonged to her, and she paid for it and was entitled to the time the 24 hours of the day. This lady might, perhaps, be called a tyrant from that remark, but she Is not. She shows her help the greatest considera tion, and plans the household work so that everything can be done within ten hours. In explanation she said that when a girl demanded her even ings and spent from two to four hours on the streets, returning home on the last car, she was not in flt condition the next day to do the work as she expected it to be done. She wanted her girls to have their evenings for their personal enjoyment, but she de manded early hours for retiring. She says that the dissatisfied condition of girls comes largely because of the late hours they keep making them anything but agreeable the next day. In the factory with the many others at the same bench or table, there is enough excitement to keep a girl awake, even though she has tripped the light fantastic the night before un time. Her work is the factory is merely mechanical, while in the home she is obliged to think, and after a night out her brain is not in the best of working order. Men em ployed in the trades do not have the trouble holding their jobs as do men in offices or banks. In the one line they can be out with the boys all night and be ready for business the •. next day with little effort. Let a bank .clerk do the" same thing for a few nights and his place would soon be filled by a more steady man. The kitchen requires more intelli gence than the factory, and the facul ties mue be better preserved. A girl who is kept at work from 5 or 6 o'clock a. m. to 10 or 11 o'clock p. m. is-not as good a girl as the one who has re gular hours and is able to get the sup per dishes washed and out of the way 7 p. ni. The employer cannot demand the 24 hours of the day of the help, but they can require that the hours they are off duty shall not be spent in such a way as to injure them during the hours they are at work. it is a nice problem to work on, and cannot be solved without an organi zation to promote it.—Ex. The organization that is erected for the purpose of studying the works of vShakospeare is limited to those who de Hire to pursue that field of thought and study. An so on through the various systems of organization they are all limited to certain well prescribed lines of activity and can only grow up to those lines. Not ao the trade union it embraces in Its membership people organizing. But the workingmen of who endorse all of the foregoing ideas England did organize, and today they and hundreds of others. The union tent that divides them into hostile camps, but no man sane can deny or contend that the proposition to in crease wages and shorten the hours of wages and otherwise improve the con dition of the workers is not a good one. The worker can hold all kinds of idea on other subjects, but on this one all are agreed regardless of opinions he may haw on other matters. Hence the claim that the trade unions is the .most logical. natural and feasible system of organization. Because it conlhies itself to this broad -eommon sense principle is due its 'Inherent strength and lasting, undyinequalities. Other organizations may be are constantly disrupted and diVSlea over questions of passing moment, but the trade union, owing to its logical sys tem, lives on forever.—Cigarmakers' Journal, "The littler world of Labor." Rev. Dr. Thomas, of. Chicago, after watching a group of blaclt men laying a hot asphalt pavement In front of his Monroe street residence, said: "It has made me wish more than ever that I might be in close touch with that underworld of labor. In this work I have seen some of the stuff that goes to the making of men. When the as phalt leave the furnace, it registers 285 degrees. It is dumped into the street at a heat of 230 degrees. With boards bound to their feet these negro experts begin spreading the stuff. Their feet has become calloused to the heat in a great measure, but occasionally a work man would leave his task, take off board and shoe, and discover a long pouched blister at the bottom of his foot. With a penknife he splits the skin, lets the water out and rubs salt into the opening. Then putting on his shoe and his plank sole, he begins to work again on a hot surface that would disable any ordinai*y man who would stand on it live minutes. And all this is done in the utmost good nature, with no houndings by a captious boss. The work has been a great lesson to me." Reneflts of Labor Unions. It is strange that we do not see the absolute necessity of centralization fo labor. It is necessary on account of the organization of capital. The organ ization of capital is not an expeiiment any loniger. In the matter of labor or ganizations this country is 50 years be hind England. Never in the history of the world was there a system of labor so grinding as in England at the close of the eighteenth century. Gradually there came about a reversal of things, although economists, prominent among whom was John Stuart Mill, told the workingmen that there was no use In are does not in the least interfere with the an* work half as many hours a day as VietiofH of membere on any question they did at the close of the eighteenth not strictly related to the trade it I c^Htury. The higher the degree of la r.jpresents. People will differ on the better fed, receive higher wages, bor abstract questions of the day to an ex- S Problem of the conflict between organization the more quickly will capital and labor be solved.
