The above statement covers a period
if nineteen weeks. If every item was to
be given separately it would lake up
pretty much the whole of The Labor
Enquirer. Those wishing to find out
the items, both in receipts and expendi
tures, are invited to call at the office,
when the treasurer will be pleased to
throw open his books. Any brother is
respectfully invited to call when in the
city and inspect for satisfaction. From
this time forth we propose to isjtie quar
terly printed reports, itemized, to all the
assemblies. During the past week I
have visited the brethren at Fraaceville
and Marshall, and fonnd them as ever
alive to the necessity of perfecting or
ganization. At the Fox mine in Lane
ford a lockout has been inaugurated by
the company.
The facts which have resulted in this
course are those : The miners load all
their coal inside with forks_ having an
inch and a quarter space between the
prongs, and after it is brought out of the
j, mine the company deduct out r of every
mine car 300 pounds on account of slack.
' The conciliation board resolved several
weeks ago to send out a committee to
investigate the matter. The committee
last week reported and the hoard on
Saturday adopted the following motion :
"That no further deductions be allowed
the Fox companv on account of alleged
“slack,” inasmuch as the coal is filled
inside the mine with ' forks having a
space of one and a quartei inch between
the prongs.”
The secretary of the operator’s side,
Mr. L. M. Fouts, was instructed to com
municate the decision of the board on
Friday the twentieth instant, to show
reasons why the miners should not be
paid for the amount of coal “docked” of
them since the third of lust November.
Other matters will be brought before this
committee relative to the “give and
take” principle of weighing and crediting
all odd pounds. The committee consists
of Mr. Langford and Mr. Hawes for the
pperators, and Curran and Lewis for the
miners.
The number of idle brethren that have
called at the office seeking relief during
the past week has been great, it grieves
me to see our noble meii roaming the
country in search of work for their sup
port. But this is the si-ate of things
which men often have to put up with
under the despotic ruling of such men
as Danforth. By the eternal there is
to be an end to this way of ruling, and
that end will soon.
The organization is booming all oyer
tlie land and the coal miners are not be
hind in the grand work. We have
placed another noble worker in the
field, and he enters upon his duties this
day with a determination to succeed.
The field of his labors is ready for the
harvester, and within the text four
weeks we expect to add shout ten assem
blies to our continually increasing num
bers. There is a necessity for increased
activity and earnestness in pushing for
ward the cause. Here i 3 something in
the shape of a “bombshell” that has
just been dropped on my desk :
Mr. John L. Lewis, Executive Secretary,
Miners' Amalgamation.
Denver, March 18,1885.
My Dear Sir—At a meeting of the
operators in the board of conciliation
held March 17, 1885, the following reso
lution was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the voice of the.
operator’s side of the board of concilia
tion that the first step in the matter of
self-protection Is, that the miners con
sent ta 8 redaction of sages to where
they stood October 25,! 884.
Yours truly, L. M. Foots,
1 i Operators’ Secretary. .
This letter is indicative of a move that
should cause every mar. to think and be
no
becomes'! menwl the organization
or not. %elf-p«ife<Son* the operators
claim necessitates a change, but a reduc
tion in wages will not afford them the
“self-protectfcii’ the operators claim’ ne
cessitates a change; but as reduction in
wages will not afford them the “self
protection” ttoby seek, and I question
the advisability Of any such move at
present among even the operators them
selves, much less the miners. From
what I have been told the complaint is
against the Qolorado Goal and iron com
pany. They are the factors in the move >
by reasqn of the fact,that theUanon coal
is sold at such Sgifres that they have a
monopoly in the market My version
of this move will be fciven you in next
week’s issue. In the meantime I would
counsel every brother to put a hls shoul
der to the wheel.” Organize and edu
cate! Truly yours, John L. Lewis.

“Why Don't They Save."
For The Enquirer.
There are always people enough to
preach economy to tlitf “ storking classes”
and always enough to be taken in with
such nonsense. It is but,, adding insult
to injury when such advice comes from
a well-fed capitalist to a poorly fed
toiler, but,- it smatters of
ahd toadyism when coming from a work
ingman to his brother laborer. I hear
such tain at trades union meetings, and
so little of the real truth concerning the
cause of the workingman’s poverty, that
I come away a little discouraged some
times. ft- ■
Individual economy does not enter
into the question of just distribution. I
might possibly manage to exist on- one
fourth of what I received aud “save up”
the rest, but that would not make it
right for some,one else to rob me of a
large share of what 1 oughj; to have.
People wanton know hosv to ‘get the full
results of their labor —they can attend to
the saving of it afterward, and it is en
tirely a personal matter. Those who
are compelled to live on 50 cents a day
need no lessons in economy ; they learn
it whether they will or hot, I would
like to see how such a person could be
extravagant. Natural, wants could barely
be satisfied. Where would luxuries
come in?
To tell a man, whefa he is handed <
abopt one-fifth of what he produces and .
what he ought honestly to have, that he
has nothing to cotnplain of if he is
“saving,” is'like knocking him down and
pounding the life nearly out of him and j
then telling him he is all right if he is
only careful with the little strength he i
has left, No wage-worker living, who
depends on his wages alone, can do more .
thaD supply his common necessities r
properly. To expect him to “save up (
something for the future "is to ask him (
to starve himself physically or mentally
—to deny himself what in common hu
manitv he ought to have.
Economy does not haye the same j
meauipg for the wage-worker and the (
man who finds all the luxuries of life |
flowing into his hands through no (
greater exertions than that of clipping
coupons or signing rent receipts. To the ,
latter it is a mere question of less ser- (
vants, fewer splendid dinners and a mag- (
nificent jewelry set left unpurchased. f
To the poor man it means suffering, f
want, privation. Who can look with
indifferent eyes on the pitiful efforts of (
a poor wife and mother, trying to “save
np something” out of her husband’s
scanty earnings, with five or six needy
clamoring children to care for. Her
whole life is a martyrdom. Every penny
laid away is a comfort robbed from a
child who had a right to it; it is another
pang to her loving heart, an added
wrinkle to her care-worn brow.
. If there was so little in the world that
such self-sacrifice was necessary, we
would bear such scenes in silence. But
with granaries and ware-houses full to
overflowing and capitalists crying “over
-production,” contentment is a mockery
and endurance ceases to be a virtue.
There is no necessity under heavens for
anybody to be “saving;” to go without
anything they want,; the worldiis full of
good things wanting to be used, and
nothing but artificial laws and per
nicious systems keep them out of the
reach of the people.
Aside from the individual effect of
saving, think what the result would be
on “business.” How “dpll” trade would
become and how the markets would
dwindle. It is possible for man to be so
“saving” as to live in a mud hut, dress
in sk ms and eat corn bread and mo
lasses. But if everybody followed the
economic principle —and if it is a true
remedy its application should be general
—soon everything and everybody would
“fail” and go out of business, excepting
a few mud house builders, corn-faisers
and molasses makers.
Where would the “interests of com
merce” be then? This “saving” ques
tion is the veriest trash besides being in
sulting and iB scarcely worth arguing
about', and yet one hears it so often, it
seems necessary to hold up tne folly to
the light of reason, again and again. A
pompons “self-made", man Said, when
told of a wretched family in distress,
“Why didn’t they save their wages
' when they were at work ? f suppose the
father had to have his beer and.tobfMtco,
! the mothor her tea, the young ones
candy and the boys low theaters. I’ve
no patience with them.” He drank
good wines'and i and smoked Havana
t cigars. Yet this poor man whose life
i was all toll>nd dreariness ought not to
have solaced himself with a mug of
beer; his careworn wife had no right to
a comforting cup of tea, and the children,
robbed of every childish pleasure, had
no business with candy and cheap
amusements 1
Economy to the poor man means
deprivation. He ought never to put up
with it. He needs a good home, carpets,
nice fnmiLure, pianos, books, pictures,
good clothes and good food.- Who has a
better right, when he is willing to work
and produce them ? Lizzie M. Swank.
We Must Educate.
For The Enquirer.
The most philosophically useful of all
the contributions to The Enquirer have
been of the didactic kind. We must
teach mankind to enjoy freedom, for
liberty is coming; the jubilee cannot be
postponed another forty-nine years.
While we educate man for freedom we
are educating him into freedom.
The wild nature of men has been kept
under control by institutions now con
sidered hateful; as soon as men are free
they must be ruled by principles. This
requires education.
Anthropology is a useful science. The
study of man enables us to decide the
important political questions of the day.
While the eight-hoar law is under dis
cussion the philosopher glances at the
condition of the people living in a coun
try producing food spontaneously. He
finds a low state of morals, but he is not
satisfied to stop here. He soon decides
that their condition is not satisfied to
stop here. He soon decides that their
condition is not worse than that of the
Esquimaux who have no time for any
thing but work and sleep, and that ex
cessive leisure or labor is opposed to
happiness. The miner who works and
sleeps twenty-four hours in a day with
hardly time to eat, is no happier than
the son of the landlord who selfishly
gratifies his appetite in spending the
money earned by the poor laborer.
Tne answer to the above question is :
We must educate. Individuals must al
ways stand towards each other in the
relation of teacher and pupil. We must
all teach and learn.
Education is knowledge and discipline.
Teaching is the systematic art of direct
iirsrthe growing mind.
Where shall we begin? The most im
portant part of education ts self control.
The necessity will be discussed now.
The method will be left for a future
article.
The useful Socialist is systematical iu
character. He never slops over. He
never flies off on a tangent. He is gov
erned by reason. He does not let his
appetite control him.
A very able article appeared in The
Enquirer a few months ago showing the
use of art and the violence done to it bv
the competitive system of commerce.
Socialists should feel the force of this
important truth.
We foolishly spend dollars for extras
to eat and drink that might be used to
gratify and improve Mir love of the
beautiful. The most costly food and
drink only blunts our taste while it adds
nothing to our happiness.
The people of the United States paid,
in 1883, nearly $1,000,000,000 for drinks.
The difference between this amount and
that paid for wonts of art is simply
enormous.
I have a poor opinion of a Socialist as
a reformer, who pays even a trifle for a
glass of beer. Drinkers are generally
benevolent and can be persuaded togive
the same trifling sum to furnish the
means of “enlighteningthe heathen” by
sendingt bem reform literature.
Self control is that part of education
which is to bring men ont of selfishness.
Children know their own rights by in
stinct; even men cannot be made to re
gard the rights of others except by care
ful training.
Coyetousness is a selfish sin but intol
erance is a worse one. The selfish man
wants not only the control of his neigh
bor’s body, but his soul also. “My
neighbor must work for me and let me
do his thinking,” is the language of Ego ;
“if a man won’t use his brain to suit me,
I’ll starve him to death or cut off his
head.”
The true reformer will never spend his
rime in kicking idols unless they are put
in his way to obstruct his path.
It requires an unusual amount of self
control to enable one to walk with re
formers having every shade of religious
belief, yet we must learn to do so. It is
only at the tomb of Christ that armed
Mabomedans are required to keep
Christians from cutting each other’s
throats.
If reformers wait for their jubilee un
til all idols are broken, they will wait
for Mammon to rule the world in right
eousnes. Make your highway attractive
and the idols may be forgotten much
sooner if you leave them whole.
The religious beliefs of all intelligent
•men mav be nearer alike than some are
willing to believe. The Christian be
lieves in a special providence, the most
important point of his special faith; the
deist can see infinite wisdom in the geo
logical formation of the earth for the
abode of man, and reasons that progress
is the natural order in human affairs ;
the atheist “reclines upon the bosom of
the universe.” Now which has a right
to ridicule the faith of bis neighbor?
I repeat, we must educate men out of
their selfishness into a spirit of benevo
lence and religious toleration.
John Smith, Philosopher.
Nothing Easier.
Bor the'Enquirer.
There is nothing easier than to be mis
taken. Many mistakes are caused by
careless reading. A man reads an arti
cle, gets a certain general impression
of it and afterwards, when referring to it,
quotes a part of it. He thinks he has it
about right, but when he comes to ex
amine the matter carefully, he finds that
he was very wide of the marki A case
in point. L. T. G. commented briefly on
my article in The Enquirer of Feb.. 21,
and says; “N. G. W. asserts that the
THE LABOR ENQUIRER.
showing made bv Zeno of the figures
published in the Tribune will not bear a
close investigation, because Zeno would
give the laborer everything and the cap
italist nothing, whereas according to N.
G. W. the capitalists are fairly entitled
to a just share for the use of their stock,”
etc.
I did intimate that Zeno’s article
would not bear close investigation and I
have not the slighest hesitation in say
ing so now, but I did not say it was “be
cause Zeno would give the laborer every
thing and the capitalist nothing.” I
stated what appeared to be Zeno’s view,
but I expressed no opinion whatever as
to what the laborer should or should not
have, or what the capitalist should or
should not have, except in a general way
when t spoke of every man receiving his
jnst due. The proper division of the
product of toil was not the question un
der consideration, as L. T. G. might
easily have seen if he bad read a little
more carefully.
Possibly Socialism would be a great
improvement on the present system, I
do not say that it would not, but I can
not forbear saying that it must indeed be
the most marvelous thing ever conceived
if, under it, “all this waste of labor will
he done away.”
When Socialism Is adopted, I suppose
the iron-maker of Chicago will dig the
ore in the streets of the city instead of
sending off to Michigan, Missouri or
some other state for it, and the farmer of
Dakota will raise his own oranges, cot
ton and sugar, instead of sending to
Cuba and the southern states for them,
and so on all around.
I am ready at all times to assume re-
Boonsibjlity for every statement I make
but I am not ready or willing to have
other people make statements for me
and thrust the responsibility on me

Legislative Report.
There has been quite an agitation
among the workingmen over the Stout
penitentiary bill, during the last week.
It was on the senate calendar as special
order for 2:30 last Monday, for final pas
sage, but was again referred to the com
mittee on incorporation, where good
guessers say it will die. The shaking up
it got all through this state has nearly
knocked the life out of it, and it is
thought all the work of the lobbyist will
not revive it.
House bill No. 29, to exempt the per
sonal earnsngs hf the head of a family,
not exceeding SIOO, passed the house
and is now before the senate. The fol
lowing members of the house voted
against it:
Clark, of Gilpin.
Davidson, of Jefferson.
De Mary, of Lake.
Evans, of Jefferson.
Hinman, of Routt. -
Newell, of Gilpin.

A memorial signed by some of the
business men of this city, against this
bill, Vaa being read by the clerk, setting
forth the burdens the passage of this bill
would wark on them, when, on motion
of Mr. Fergerson, the reading was cut
short, and but very few of the names
were read.
Hoose bill No. 366, to create a bureau
of labor statistics, has been reported
favorable to the house.
The house has held two night sessions
this week. It will have to work a great

Listening to Advice.
Special to the Kansas City Times.
Sedalia, March 15 —There has been
no change in the attitude of the strikers
to-day.
At three o’clock this afternoon a mass
meeting was held at Smith’s opera house
for the purpose of listening to addresses
from J. R. Buchanan, editor and pro
prietor of The Labor Enquirer of Den
ver, and Moreley, both delegates from
the Union Pacific and members of the
Knights of Labor. Buchanan is an ac
tive worker in the labor cause and is one
of the five national committee men of
the Knights of Labor. The object of
their visit is to organize another assem
bly of the Knights of Labor.
Buchanan declared that the executive
board of the Knights of Labor and the
assembly in Denver had resolved to send
two delegates to the meeting of the del
egates of the Gould system to assure
them of the support., financial and other
wise, of the Union Pacific employes.
They stood ready to aid the Missouri
strikers to the amount of from $20,000 to
$30,000.
Buchanan then gave a history of the
Union Pacific strike last Mav, and de
clared that as soon as the men resumed
work at their old wages they concluded
that a thorough organization was neces
sary to combat any future move. The
company attempted to cut men in small
branches for participating in the ptrike,
but the workingmen’s organization' was
so perfect that they were able to tell the
company they would have to reinstate
the men unless good reasons could be
given for their discharge. A committee
was sent to Omaha at the request of
Manager Clark, and it was agreed that
all differences should be arbitrated and
thoroughly investigated.
The speaker in closing urged upon the
men the necessity of keeping strictly
sober and of not being boisterous, and
said that he and his brother delegates
were here principally to lend assistance.
Moreley afterwards urged the impor
tance of laboring men becoming mem
bers of the Knights of Labor as class or
ganization did not fit the case.
Another assembly was then organized.
Among those in attendance were a large
number of engineers, firemen, brakemen
and conductors.

Saturday evening, March 14, the car
penters of the: Brotherhood met in Euclid
hall to celebrate the regular social for

Mrs. L. E. Russell, pianist; select read
ing, ‘‘How Hie Cats Went to Boarding
School,” by Mrs. A. M. Dearhammer,
given with all the variations which these
imps of darkness gives vent to when
on their midnight serenades; then a
labor song was sung by W. G. Miner and
E. E. Rice, and composed for the occa
sion by A. T. Phillips, when Thomas
Painter reviewed the labor question at
length. Mrs.' Davidson delivered a lec
ture on “Labor,” which showed she
was well posted, and able to talk on the
subject; then a raffle for a checker board
which was won by Dr. Drury, dentist.
Then Miss Nettie Miner entertained the
company with some well selected musto.
Dancing was then announced, when joy
was unconfined till 12 o’clock. In looking

THE COMING REVOLUTION.
Socialists Not: the Ignorant Mob Capital
ists Paint Them, but Thoughtful,
Intelligent Revolutionists’.
Editor Labor Enquirer.
Who are numbered in the ranks of the
Revolutionists?
Not an ignorant mob, but the thought
ful, the humane, the sage and philoso
pher.
Friend Labadie’s experience is that of
thousands. As long as the undeveloped
reoourcea of. this root country ofT.e.io,i
an opportunity for the industrious and
enterprising Individual to rise above the
drudgery of a menial wages kept up and
the majority of those who occupied the
most degraded positions were either
Europeans who had served a master for
generations or the African, both of whom
were looked upon as inferior specimens
of humanity, if indeed they were human
at all. A few years ago there were so
many avenues by which men could reach
a competency, if not affluance that little
attention was paid to the condition
of our less fortunate brothers; indeed .
so many opportunities existed by which
they could throw off the yoke of bond
age that we were accustomed to regard 5
them as unfitted for a higher sphere in j
life if they failed to work out their own
salvation, besides the compensation for
such service was so liberal that the 1
wage-worker was comparatively con
tent with his condition. In those 1
days if the scion of blue blood found 1
himself reduced to penury there were
always people ready to provide him '
with respectable employment, but as
population increased and the resources
of the country concentrated into the '
hands of fcbe few and machinery sup
planted the wage-worker, not only driv
ing him into enforced idleness but mul
tiplying the articles which had previously
afforded hum employment thereby re
ducing consumption and cheapening the
price of raw material until at last the
day has arrived that starvation stares
not only the former wage slave in the
face, but thd-former well-to-do bourgeoise
as well. blood or pedigree no
longer exempts an individual from the
general ruin that has overtaken us. The
learned and refined, the beautiful and
tender, the lovely maiden and ambitious
youth are all being swept into this mael
strom of degradation and poverty. So
cialists are no longer the ignorant mob
whose idea of political economy is a
leveling up of society by dividing up
among themselves the wealth of the
country and starting anew under the
system that has robbed them. But they
are thinkers who have been driven by
force of circumstances to solve the social
problem. They are persons whose gene
rous and humane instincts would not
permit them to grind the face of their
brothers or rob their own flesh and
blood in their inordinate greed for gain.
They are intelligent men and women,
who having felt the effect of poverty,
have sought for its cause which having
found thev set themselves to work to
find a remedy; having discovered the
remedy they are determined to apply it.
The opposers of Socialism are fools to
think that we will tamely submit longer
to being despoiled of the fruits of our
labor. Think you that our proud, sensi
tive nature will forever submit to occupy
the lowed round in the social scale, or
! that we will always consent to be clothed
, in rags or suffer with hunger when the
, land teems with plenty. To the thinker
is not the near approach of the Revolu
tion inevitable? Is it not as fixed a
3 fact as the simplest problem of mathe
matics ? It is not the “ canaille ” driven

Union Pacific Hospital.
Editor Labor Enquirer.
Denver, March 12—With reference to the
several letters which appeared in the oublic
press referring to the management of the
Union Pacific Hospital system, and which I
trust had been taken for “what they were
worth,” as,you very sensibly put it in your
editorial note, in referring to a short letter
received from a friend in Ogden, and which
1 presume had been written by a member of
that benevolent association organized for the
good of labor, and for. the benefit of the labor
ing community at large, and not to be used in
the han Itfof predudiced members, as an in
strument against those whose modus oper
andi does not exactly coincide with theirs.
I deem it a duty to throw a little lighten
the state of affairs relating to the manage
ment of the Union Pacific hospital at this
place, which has been commented upon and
criticised by quondam patients discharged
(I may put it) on account of insubordination.
It had been something ridiculous to see how
patients were allowed to roam indiscrimi
nately over in town day and night, with im
munity and contrary to the rules of the in
stitution. . ~
Those are the kind of men who say they
have received bad treatment, and who tell
you they are the, friends of the laborer, but
while here imagined themselves above hav
ing intercourse with the ordinary “section
hand” patient, and considered themselves too
arictocratic to bend to discipline, and who now
tnrough personal dislike for some of the em
ployes, try to pander on the public their
grievances, imaginary and otherwise, and iu
such language that I should treat such a rig
marole with contempt, were it not that justice
should be done ta ail concerned, and through
a sense of duty render impartially a true ver
dict as to the actual state of affairs.
In conclusion 1 wish to state that the hos
pital is now under the personal supervision
of T. E. Mitchell division surgeon and all
irregularities which.come within his jurisdic
tion are quickly disappearing, and of all the
patients presently in hospital, there isn’t a
single one who can find fault with the inter
nal arrangements of the place.
Yours respectfully, Jerry Teahean.
