V BARRE EVENING TELEGRAM YOL. V NO. 179. BARRE, VT., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1902. PRICE ONE CENT BARRE SOCIALISTS Issue A Protest Restriction Bills In The Legislature liitor Evening Telegram. Sir: Amcngst the bills introduo en tins wee to tne , Legislature are two that ought to be of more than pining interest to tee workers of tbe state. Indeed they are of such momentous Interest to them that no working mat. wb has any understanding of the conditions that govern his existence Can afford. to sit quietly at home vbiie they are being discussed. On Calis for ccmpulsory arbitration, and the other against boy- Coding, describes all the methods trade unionists adopt in trade disputes, so m '.irately, and brands them as crimes; ptmisbable with imprisonment . up to, lvi years, that it might have been drswa up by tbe coal barons in Penn sylvania during the coal stitke. With those two bills law, every trade union lc she state might shut up shop and tbe members make tricks for the poorfarnc. Three arbitrators are to be appoint ed it a salary of $10 a day with power to compel all disputants in trade to refar their case to them and allow them to settle what wages workmen hall reeeive, and under what condi tions tbey shall work. In short, when we r'gure the thing out to its logical end, we are expected to allow the Legislature to appoint three men " and Invest them with power to order what we shall eat and drink and where with we shall be clothed. The impudence of such a proposal is so colossal that is almost approaches the sublime. Laws must be founded on justice or they themselves constitute a moral Crime, and It is impossible to found any of these laws on justice. In appointing three men to fix wages and conditions by a Legislature Composed of tbe so called higher or ders, they are appointed by men who are, by birth and breeding, already biased, and if they are .elected demo cratically they will be composed of workmenand already biased The proposed boj cott law Is even worse, if that be possible. Tbe one compels us to work whether we will or no, one for whatever figure is fixed; and the other compels us to buy whether we will or a t. I we whisper to our friends that seme dealer Is running an unfair business or adulterating bis goods and does not deserve our patronage, that whisper is a crime even though it might save a life or lives, and force a dishonest man to run an honest busi ness. If we are working with someone we Mad objectionable and desire to quit we are committing a crime pun- Isnable with five years in prison. mis only wants one otner diu to make tbe thing complete, and after z THE HAZA.RD Steel And Win Rope OOM'Y.

It would have to compel men, who bad tolled through youth and man hood adding to the wealth of this great nation, when they begin to feel the strain bending their shoulders and shaking their toll worn limbs, to buy coffin lest their employers should have to do it for them. It would also have to provide that he buv it from some one designated by tbe three im mortal ten dollar a day men. and that should it turn out to be of infer ior quality and the buyer mention tbe fact to any of Us friends, he be im mediately killed and put into it as a warning to others not to boy cott. Such anarchisms as those two bills catering, as they do, the laws of feudal times to modern methods of industry, could only emanate from men who bare never studied indust rial evolution. To cure an evil you must first know the cause, and very little study would show that the con centration of capital into the hands of a few, and the.conaequent centraliza tion Industrial control giving a few men oower 10 stoD everv wheel in the country practically; is the evil here. Aralnstbis no coiidtsh foeinr with criminal laws can avail. Muni cipal or state ownership and manage ment for the whole people, and that alone can remedy tbe evil and until suoh time as this Is accomplished you may cover ail tne paper in Vermont with oriminal laws and your last state will only be worse than the first. But against those sins, wiiion pro pose to sweep away any economic freedom thejworkers atjpreeent possess, and prevent them using the only weapon tbey can use pgalnst tbe ex ploitation of capital; every working man in Vermont should rise and pro test with all his power and with all his migbs; neither should be stop pro testing until the memory of those who Introduced them are as black as the bills tbey would dare to hoist up on a free people.

WHOLESALE SWINDLE IN RUTLAND Rutland, Nov. 8. Nearly all of the leading merchants were swindled of sums varying in size from 125 to $100 this week by a slick stranger who represented himself to be a drummer for a (leading New York dry goods and cloak house. He came to tbe city with a large traveling bag filled with samples of small wares and credentials from the bouse which he pretended to repre sent, and ' found th; lxsal business men decidedly easy. He showed bis samples and took orders from nearly all of tho local stores which deal to any extent in dry goods or notions. After be had taken his oraerg he would ask tbe merchant to oblige him by sashing a check drawn on a well known back in New York city. He was Invariably aocommodat3d because tbe merchants had many of tbem cashed checks before for drum mers from the same concern, and they did not for a moment doubt the man's integrity. He spent two days in visiting the local business men, paid bis board bill in full at tbe hotel 'and then left town, saying at tbe bote! that he was going to Burlington. Nearly all of the checks wbioh were cashed for him in this city have re turned from New York with tbe in formation that the man had never had any connection with the dry goods house be claimed to be working for and that the checks were worth less. Tbe local police were notified of the circumstances and tbey will make an attempt to apprehend tbe man al though he has had about three days in which to get away, it is extremely unlikely that he will be captured. It is estimated than he cleared up in lbe vicinity of $1600 in Butland.the largest amount which be took from any one man being 200 It has been learned that the man has not put in an appearance at Burlington where he claimed he was bound and it is thought by the police that he went to New York from here. - HOMER FITTS Misses' Jackets !
