After an intense and re lentless, lawless rule, the indications are that industrial peace will be re established and the miners given final recognition in their manly struggle. We are all familiar with the gen eral causes which lead up to the exist ing troubles, and the methods and spirit of the representatives of the Smelter Trusts and their allies. Much has been written of the re markable conditions of this great min ing state both sides have given wide circulation to their respective claim in the matter every paper of any note has discussed the issues of battle and urged many and widely different views in explanation, and Congress has been forced to pay official attention to the prevailing conditions and their causes, by instituting a special investigation. Colorado has given the world an im portant lesson, it has taught us that there is hardly a limit to the excesses which the opponents of unionism, the enemies of human liberty, will not go in their painstaking efforts to control without hindrance the forces of in dustry. When laws are trampelled ruthless ly. when women in the quiet of their homes are brutally insulted, when crime, in all its nakedness is encourag ed, and industrial tyranny rules with out mercy, and with unclothed arrog ance, then it is time for us to stand out boldly and raise our voices to high heaven in protest and condemnation. The people of Colorado have wit nessed all these things, they have seen a corrupted legislature openly defy the unqualified will of the people, and a governor execute without a murmur of objection, the criminal demands and wishes of the mine barona of the state. It takes such struggle?, as theseto re-call humanity to its reason, so that it can rightly, see and understand the trend of human development. It takes the brazen expression and uncalled for actions of a Peabody to make some men think, it takes the sharp point of a bayonet to awaken others, and yet there are some who will condon 'the conditions In Colorado with the pass ing conclusion,—" such is the just punishment of unionism." No less an able writer than Ray Standard Baker casts this impression abroad, in an article In McClure's magazine for May. This is the position of the Mining and Smelter Trust and that of the Citizens' Alliance of Colorado, and very natural ly so some one must be given the responsibility for the reign of .crime and unlawlessness as they have no desire to accept it, consequently they charge the many offences of violation of law to the Western Federation of Miners. At the present time the official or gan of the Citizens' Alliance of San Francisco and their social mouth piece, the Wasp, are charging almost every crime that is committed in that city to union men and that it is in spired by union motives it is natural, we say, because their position has no foundation in truth or justice and they must resort to slander and misstate ment in order to argue their case. After many months of military rule and the political domitation of Pea bodism a change has taken place, Adjutant General Bell has formally given notice of resigning his position. His reasons are given in a statement published recently, he says: "The state militia was degraded to the uses of corporations which con nived at the breaking of the law. The very men whom we used the troops to protect, imported all-around bad men, the very men I ran out of their camps, to break the law in Denver and carry the election in their inter ests." "I shall resign the office of Adju tant-Oeneral probably tomorrow and by the first of July there will be an other man in my place I do not ap prove of using the militia of the state to help any political movement. I am accused of using the militia of the state in the late campaign. This la false, but the corporations used the militia for their purposes, and Instead of the militia being used to protect the people and uphold the law, that jforce was actually used to encourage trouble." A blind man can see from this state* jinent that the unions are not the .cause of the law-breaking. The elec tion referred to is the recent municipal flection of Denver, when Peabody Ism were snowed 'under by a tremendous majority of 10.000 votes the same Bell who said, 'To hell with the constitu tion, I am obeying Governor Peabody," now vindicates 'unionism. HIS USELESS MILLIONS. Senator Stone, of Missouri, is a long way from being The Labor World's Ideal public man, but that does not prevent us from agreeing heartily with the following utterance from him re garding Carnegie's "hero fund": "I consider this newly established Carnegie hero fund the most ridicu lous, foolish and insane organization oi the present day. If the same spirit now prevails that was shown by Am erican? uding the civil war that in significant fund of $5,000,000 won't last a week. Heroes who are heroes become so for love and devotion to their country and their fellow-men, and would shun public charity for their deeds." Carnegie would probably be the first to admit that it is impossible to. do good by giving away money. His "hero fund" may be taken as the last resort of a man anxious to get rid of the millions which never should have been his, but unable to find a way to restore them to the people to whom they rightfully belong. The single tax continues to win vic tories in New Zealand, where a local option lrfw has made possible its ad-, option by local governments. West port, a coal-mining center adjoining two towns that some time ago adopted the single tax, has joined them in the plan after observing the results achieved by them. A second borough having the same name, but situated 600, miles distant, and West Harbora and Maori Hill, two suburbs of the city of Dunedin, have also adopted the plan of exempting everything but land values from taxation. Managing a local is evactly similar to managing any collective enterprise. If it is given care and attention, its wants studied, advantage taken of Its position, nothing other than proper dividends will ensue. Mismanagement invariably crushes a union and acts in the direct opposite to success. Many a fellow picks up a pin from sidewalk for the purpose of trying to convey the impression that he is fru gal in his habits. This is the sort of saving one finds in some unions they refuse to contribute for real progres sive purposes, but give willingly for publicity's sake. The expenditure of one day's- wages for non-union products, should be con sidered and really Is, lost to the cause of labor. Such a day Is added to the credit the opponents of'union l&hor and can never be _$rrested( ijrom thejth The Omnipotent created the beauti ful things on the earth to admire and enjoy. Man has caused a discord in the symphony by creating or allowing to prevail what is known as a Scab by some dubbed a Parry Hero. Admitting that imitation is the sin cerest flattery, does not warrant the successor to make the mistake of try ing to follow the steps of the fellow that "took the bundle of the union" and forgot to return. It is said that good judgment is the essence of success in business. A lpcal union is a business—a collective en terprise, so to speak. If good judg ment is used by the management, suc cess is the reward. Label? are not attached to union made articles for the purpose of mak ing them attractive the label repres ents union conditions and compensa tion. Get in the habit of using labeled goods. No organization that was ever form ed will conduct its affairs to satisfy the fellow who prefers skinning some one in a loaded dice game to attending a meeting of that organization. Notes and Comments. At the Boston convention of the American Federation of Labor a reso lution was passed instructing the executive council of that body to take the steps necessary to have all inter national unions connected with the Federation insist upon their local unions in Canada affiliating with the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada at the earliest possible date. Com paratively few of the locals, it is said have acted in accordance with the spirit of the resolution, notwithstand ing its importance. The Trades and Labor Congress last year secured the defeat of a most objectionable law which was introduced in the Canadian senate, the passage of whifch meant the disruption of international affilia tions. As this piece of legislation is likely to come up again, a united movement is required to prevent its enactment into law. The Chicago Federation of Labor proposes to select a number of the best orators to address the Students oC the different universities, women's clubs, and all other organizations that gain their knowledge of the labor movement from the newspapers and magazines, and in this way explain the hopes and aspirations of organised labor. Prior to the great strike ih the an thracite fields the cost of mining a ton of coal was 12 and the price at tidewater was *8.60. Since the Roose velt commission granted the men an Increase -In wages amounting 'to is ^t-^rryri. per- cent the cost of mining a ton of coal has risen to $2.18, and the' price at tidewater to $4.90, /Before the strike the profit per- ton. was $1.60 but now it is $2.72. While wages have increased 18 per cent, profits have In creased 68. VI i' It is believed, that at least 20,000 children of the. sweatshops and other institutions ^hich employ child labor can be gathered together in Chicago, for the purpose of participating in a gigantic parade which is being planned for the Fourth of July. The object of the proposed demonstration is to show how niahy children are forced to work at an age when they should' be attend ing School. The fight' of the Watch Case En gravers' International Association of* America against. the Keystone Watch Case Company, of Philadelphia, Pa., and the T. Zurbrugg Company, of Riv erside, N. J., is still on. These firms have demonstrated their antagonism to organized labor, scorned an adjust ment, and positively refused to arbi trate. The United States supreme court has recided that W. R. Hearst, as a cltizcn, has the right to prosecute and expose the coal trust. As a result the coal barons will have to produce the records and give the testimony which they refused to furnish at the recent hearing. Twenty-five non-union chandelier workers, employed in a Chicago fac tory, decided that they had occupied straw pallets long enough, and made a demand for cots arid clean bed linen. An exchange remarks that they. were, probably forced to strike by the "walking delegates" in the beds. A college professor advises laboring men to put their wives to work. The reason assigned by the learned gentle man Is that a couple could live bet ter If the. man earned $10 per week and the woman $5 in the same length of time. How about their home life? The largest woman's labor organiza tion" iri the Dominion of Canada is the garment workers' union, of Montreal, Que. This union is progressing rap idly. A bill to punish picketing, boycot ting, and blacklisting has been defeat ed in the Iowa house of representa tives. SAMUEL GOMPERS PUTS SOME HOLES IN THE OPEN SHOP.

They can build just as cheaply on that as on the town lot, have a garden, chickens pigs, cow, horse and can in fact get about half their living off this jgniall acreage, get room for the children to play, fresh air, refreshing sleep and the song of the birds, and hen.ee, wherever pos sible, they leave the oity and go out algpg the., interurban. Wherever ln teruroah .lines come you will find this cutting up of farms and this extension of the" city to the country." Some Facts About the Coat of War. Recent war dispatches tell of ap propriations of 100,000,000 yen at a time by the Japanese for fighting pur* poses. The public may have an exag gerated idea of the value of the "yen,." It is silver coinage and at present 100, 000,000 yen Is equal to about $60,000,000 Ten yen Is the decimal standard worth 100 sen or cents. The sen is divided into ten rin, the rln into- ten mo, the mo Into ten shu and the shu finally into ten kotsu. Government transac tions do not acknowledge anything less than the rln, but merchants deal with mo and shu, although there is no coin to represent these sums, which are a small fraction of a farthing. Yet 100, 000000 yen is a vast sum when it be comeA known that the skilled artisan of Japan is rarely paid over 3 yen a week—the wages of 33,000,000 men, skilled craftsmen for one week to pay a single war appropriation. British Workmen Form a National As sociation. In the June number of the American Federationist, the official journal of the American Federation of Labor, Thomas Reece writes interestingly of the trades-union matters in England. The details of his article show that the unions are beginning to realize that the American method of combining wherever possible into national organ izations is the strongest method to de fend workmen against concerted em ployers' attacks. Also, that the unions are watching more closely the estab lishment of defense funds. Says the writer: "British trades unions are moving toward greater solidarity. The pre ceptlpn of the magnitude of the at tack now being made on the rights of the trades unionist drives even the most devoted believer in sectionalism and "Independence" Into the better way. The General Federation of Trades Unions moves steadily onward to a consolidation of forces which eventually must prove irrestible. From a doubtful experiment it has develop ed into a new factor which cannot be ignored, and under the gifted guidance of Isaac Mitchell, now labor alderman of the London City Council, and his able colleagues, the pathway of pro gress is being closely followed. "The vicious attacks made upon the unions is their present form—first, by the lockouts indicted by wealthy asso ciations of employers, and later by means of that instrument for the wholesale plunder of union treasuries, the T.aff-Vale decision—are having a result little expected by the enemies of organized labor. So far from de stroying the power of the working men's societies, the campaign of thT capitalists and plutocrats is tearing away the veils and showing the British workman that trade unionism with national federation will do more for him than he ever before even dreamed of wanting TRYING TO FORCE THEM. .. The Master Plumbers'. Association of Lynn. Mass., is asking the journey-' men to assist them in forelng all em-, ployers into the masters' combine. The POLITICS out AND POLITICIANS .The Labor World is in danger of being dynamited. Just beneath us in the Manhattan building the Dunn headquarters have been established. We like their company, but If such strong campaign reports appear again as were published this week we are liable^ to get the full benefit of Mr. Dunn's explosive vocabulary of wrath, which he is in the habit of letting out every time one of Van Sant's ap pointees makes a report. On this night, (Saturday) between the hours of seven and eight the Demo crats Will elect delegates to the St. Louis county convention to select delegates to the state convention, which will select delegates t?- the national convention to nominate a candidate for president of the United States. Every member of organized labor is expected to do his duty tonight at the Democratic primaries. Now is the time to show Wall strteet that the Democrats of this trust ridden coun try are for a progressive democrat for president of the United States. Turn and elect Hearst delegates. This is your duty, arid do not neglectf it. The St. Paul Globe gives Mr. Roose velt and Secretary of Navy Moody a hard roast this week on the proposi tion of the Federal government as suming control of all wireless teleg raphy as operated from the coasts of the United States. The Globe says that Mr. Roosevelt intends first to ac quire the plans and ask congress's consent after. This is fast becoming a one man government, and at last the Globe is beginning to recognize this fact. We are in favor of the gov ernment control of all such public utili ties, but it is a matter for the people's representatives to decide, rather than the president of the United States, as to whether the proposition is a desir able one. The local Democrats will meet to night to elect a chairman to succeed the late Joseph Mannheim, who had charge of the arrangements for the state Democratic convention. The loss of Joseph Mannheim to the local Democracy is almost irreparable. He was one of the most indefatigable workers In the, party. He was chair man of the congressional committee president of the Bryan and Hearst clubs, and chairman of the committee on arrangements for the state Demo cratic convention. He carried on the work with which he was entrusted with a will and spirit that were character istic of the man during his entire life. The local Democracy will sorely miss him. R. D. Haven has denied that he will be a candidate for county treasurer. Many of his. friends want him to run for sheriff, arid will listen to no other proposition, Jt Mr, Haven .is wise he will yen ter the1race. a" •. As patters nowlstand Mr. Bates has decidedly the best' of it in the race for sheriff of.'St. LOuis County. 'It is now conceded by?, liberal Republicans that Mr. Armstead wilk-not do. They can not afford to lope the labor vote in the coming election. If Armstead is elected a- large-number of union men have declared their intention of knif ing the entire ticket. We asked a local politician this week what there was new in politics, and he responded by saying: "Wait until the state convention has been held. There will be "something doing in this county that, will make the oldest in habitant think that he never saw a campaign' before. On account of our Interest In the convention we can not show our hand now, but just wait and you will see." Western States Pay High est Wages to Labor In the matter of wages there is marked divergence in the different sections of the country. The average of the. North Atlantic states is $459 per worker. In the- North Central states the average is $448. The lowest wages are paid in the Southern states—$334 per worker in the South Atlantic states. The Western states show the highest average, $556. Unions of Utah Form a Federation A state federation has recently been formed in" Utah comprising 45 unions affiliated with the A. L. U., includng the western federaton of mnes, head quarters at Salt Lake Cty. It was de cidede to make it an- independent state organization and strong resolutions concerning the Citizens' Alliance were adopted. Big Fine Imposed On Cannery Agent A prominent member of the New York Westminister branch of the Chinese contractors' and carinery work ers' association recently volated the rules of the society by supplying men to the canneries at a lower rate than that set by the Association. At a meet ing the latter, held at Vancouver, B. C,', a flfte of $500» was imposed. Ratify Workers in Canada Have Trouble At a mass meeting*, of the employers of the Toronto, Can., railway company, a new agreement was drafted for sub mission to the railway .company, to take the place of the one which expires on Jupe 1. It is expected that an amicable, arrangement will be arrived at with the company. S- Kentucky Miners Vote. The voting of the western Kentucky miners 'on'the, question of accepting a reduction in wages Avas ended recently. There is no doubt but that the result will' be in favor of the operators' terms. 8. Levin, Importer of wines and li quors, at S01 f"West Superior street carries the very beatstock 1" the city BY B. E. BUSH. Copyright, 1904, by W. R. Hearst. From my earliest childhood I had, been burdened by one" great misfortune. I was born a coward. When the other small boys climbed the rafters of the old barn, ran across the beams and did their many deeds of boyish daring, I sat uncomfortably* on the steps of the corn bin and begged them tearfully to come down. I was afraid to put my nose outside the door after nightfall, cried myself ill if left alone without a light, and, even in daytime, never walk td alone without constantly turning my head in fear of ghosts, and all sorts of things. More than anything else, dogs terri fied me.I would, run from the smallest yelping puppy, and shuddered and turned cold if a dog so much as passed me on the other side of the street. The wise old women of the neighborhood nodded their heads at me and told each other in whispers how my mother had been frightened almost to death by a savage dog before was born. When I grew to be a young man, it was no better, although I concealed my fears in some measure. It seemed as bad as could be when I was fancy free, but it became infinitely worse when I fell in love. Alice was the most daring young woman in our town and a born hero-worshipper. She was something of a naturalist, and had captured with her own fair hands a collection of snakes that made me faint even to think of. She had faced an angry bull in the field, had tamed unbroken houses, ridden jjolts without saddle or bridle, and done so many brave things that my heart sank at rehearsing th^em My case was hopeless, of course, but I loved her only the more madly. Whenever I went near her I suffered tortures, for her pet and constant at tendant was a horrible, snapping, snarling little dog. This vicious creature had an especial spite against me. From beginning to end of my calls at Alice's home he would growl and snap at my legs, my hands and my face. But though he sent me into agonies of terror and the cold perspiration poured from my body in a clammy shower at the end of every visit, I could not bear to give up my chance of seeing her. It was not long before she knew my story, as everybody in the town made haste to tell it to her. I think she pitied me and regarded my cowardice as not the act of a free moral agent. At any rate, she sent the dog away. Freed from the terror of his presence, I mustered courage to ask her the fate ful question. She was very gentle with me. but she gave me no hope. Choos ing her words as kindly as might be in her sweet womanliness, fearing to wound me and yet stinging the more by her very kindness, she let me know that she could never marry a man whom she did not consider a hero. I went out from her door in the firm determination to do something hero*"* and win, perforce, my matchless lade But before I had reached the gate, that miserable little cur rushed snap ping and snarling at my heels, and I forgot even Alice in the vain attempt to keep frorri showing the fear I felt. I lay long that night with staring eyes trying to think of something brave that I could do. I thought of going into the army and mowing down whole com panies with my single arm. It would not matter if I were killed if only Alice loved me. But the mere thought ^of.-blood turned me faint and I-would Jump, at the sound of a firecracker, be sides there was no particular war on Jnst then. I turned over plan after plan, to find all alike unavailoig. At last I must have fallen asleep with my eyes wide open, and dreamt horri ble dreams. I heard the roar of fire engines and imagined that the whole world was burning up. From her burning home, Alice was stretching out her hands to me and calling for help. I rose in my dreams—did I say before that I am a sleep-walker dressed, clambered from my window by means of a tree that grew beside it, and started for Alice's pretty home be side the church. I do not know how much I saw and how much I dreamt. The streets were filled with people, but I avoided them with the cunning of a dreamer. To my excited fancy every house seemed bursting with flames. Only the church stood cool and still. I thought I saw Alice on its roof and I clambered up, holding by the light ning rod, by anything. She was not there, but seemed to be on the steeple. I struggled up it, slipping and sliding. I looked down upon Alice's dwelling wreathed in fire. The roof and upper windows were not yet touched, but all the lower part was encircled by flame. Alice was not on the steeple. She stood at a second-story window, hold ing out her hands and calling to me again, while the horrid red glovfl) crept nearer and nearer. Some one had rested a long ladder against the side of the church. I lifted it up with a strength that was not my own, balanced it with the mysterious power of the sleep-walker, .swung it across the fiery chasm till the end reached Alice's window sill, and ran across the tottering, sloping bridge as firmly as if it had been solid earth. By what seemed a miracle, it held till I reached the window, then fell totter ing to the ground. A puff of flame shot in after me. I seized Alice in my arms, bore her to the window and crashed through the glass with my fists. The pain in my hands awoke me and— The dream was true. I stood in Ali ce's room with the flames encircling the house. In my arms I held, not Alice, but the little, cringing white dog. In1 sickening terror I looked down. The flames colored the world blood-red. A great sea of fiery faces looked up at me. Beneath the window stood four men holding a blanket by the corners. "Jump! Jump!" cried scores of voices. I flung down the dog. The roaring of flames filled my ears. I dared not jump. I tottered and fell. A shock and a rebound. I had fallen unhurt upon the blanket. I'do not know how I got home. Perhaps I fainted and was carried. My mind is not clear as to anything that happened until the next day whenvI got a message from Alice. I was bruised and -burnt, but I must see her. With the help of a stick, I limped slowly, to her temporary residence, the home of our nearest neighbor. She re ceived me ajone in the parlor. It was one of those parlors with a bright red and green carpet, protected by blue. rugs. Across an ancient hair-cloth sofa was thrown a magenta "slumbering robe, cro cheted In a wonderful pattern. Enlarged photographs, which slightly resembled each member of our neighbor's family, de corated the walls along with pictures of the. royal family. But, oh, "what a para dise it was with my darling in It, and how like an angel she looked in: her wnite. gown as she came forward to welcome me with a gladness that sent my heart flut tering like a bird in May. I could not say a word. She poured, forth thanks, praise and admiration, until I did not know myself. She thought I had dared to walk along 'the tottering ladder: and, enter the burning iftouse,to save'her dcg. Jil-1' ~r How" could' I tell ther Howj-could' I quench the light in her sweet eyes and banish the smile, coward as I was, I would have given my life many times? She thought me a hero. She was ready to be* my wife. If she could only believe it always. But she would find out. She would grow to despise mo and unhappiness would embit ter all her days. Better lose her now than plnuge her into future misery. I tried to speak, but I could not. How could I interrupt her when her words were so dear, so dear! At last I grot to my feet. "Alice," I said—I must have turned white, for she sprang forward as if to help me. "Alice, you are praising me' for something I did not do. It was not I who climbed last night. I hav.e a horrible fear of high places. I tremble even to climb tie stairs, and I am terribly afraid of dogs. I would not go near one to save my life. It is all a mistake. I am not a hero., though heaven only knows how I wish I were." "But you did ciimb, George, and saved Mulfet at the risk of your life!" she an swered bewildered. It was the first time she had over called me by name. "No, no," I cried, terror stricken lest my courage should fail. "I was walking in my sleep. I should never have dared while awake. And I was dreaming that I was rescuing you. I would give the world to be the man you thought me, but I am not. I am a coward." I staggered weakly for my hat and stick. I could not bear to look upon her face. I would remember it as I had last seen it, filled with love. Dazed, I laid hold of the knob. My be loved came toward me. "George," she cried, in such a tone that I could not but turn back. She came straight to my side. "I think you are the bravest man I ever knew," she whispered. I dared not speak. I thought I was dreaming again and that a word would break the spell. I must hive tottered and almost fallen, for she put her arms around me and led me to the sofa. Then she slipped down and knelt beside me. Her lips were very near to mine. "Am 1 dreaming again?" I asked doubtfully There was no mistake. It was surely a kiss upon my forehead. Then the queenly head went down and her face was hidden in her hands. "No, no!" she cried, "you are awake— and I love you." I ahve a great fondness for red and green carpets, bine rugs and magenta dra peries. I would like to furnish one room in our house with them, but my wife says that we possess the essence of joy and do not need the visible symbols.

Substantiating all the good things that have been said about Dr. Mitchell we publish a few testimonials. Mv L. C.
