With (he Toller Rssti the Ratponil
bility ef Safeguarding His Own
Rights and Intaraata Labor's Friends
Should Be Supported at tha Polls.
Tbe sovereignty of labor must not
be obscured or belittled. Tbe great
humanitarian Impulses of tbeiew na
tional life tend to protect and foster
tbe principle of labor's aoverelgnty.
It la unfortunate that there Is leveled
against our humane movement tbe bit
tercet antagonism, but being ia it we
become a part of tbe great struggle
to overcome It and make tbe principle
underlying organized labor Indivisible
and indissoluble.
It is this bitter and Ignorant antag
onism that forces opponltioo to organ
bed labor la tbe framework of our
laws, federal, state and municipal
But when we become unified on tbe
all powerful sovereignty of labor and
amalgamate our forces wholly apart
from the doctrine of separateness and
with a single purpose la view we shall
lay tho foundation for tbat decent re
spei which Is Inherent In all rational
minds touching labor's great and grave
crisis.
Notwithstanding sinister criticism
aimed at labor by vested Interests and
their political pfflliatlons and Influ
ences, tbe right abd tbe duty of organ
lzed labor He In alignment with those
humanitarian Impulses wholly In arm
pa thy with tho tollers' wise and pru
dent efforts which will sustain the
cause of human liberty In any policy
which may be set forth respecting the
necessities of sll our activities, wheth
er as workers or as citizens, as tbe
weapons to safeguard and promote the
rights and Interests ef the workers, of
tbe great masses of the people.
Ia view of labor's broad, comprehen
sive snd humanitarian purposes we
must confess to tbe people's derelic
tion of duty when lawmakers having
to do with Industrial Issues and ques
tions draft laws Inimical to these safeguards-laws
tbat when passed upon
by tbe supreme court. Itself composed
of minds in part or wholly unaware of
labor's prime Interests, are Interpreted
and ruled upon adversely to labor an
less congressional relief shall come,
backed by the people's Insistent de
mand. The Issues confronting the new na
tional life are labor Issues primarily
and fundamentally.
Organized labor cannot. If It would,
shirk Its responsibility here.
The toilers should not be on the de
fensive with respect to vital Issues af
fecting them. They should and most
devise an offensive movement looking
to a firmer and more stsble establish
ment of their Inalienable rights.
Nothing Is voluntarily contributed to
the Interests of labor on the part of
the wealtn possessors or of partisan
politicians.
It Is a paradox second to none la the
line of human evolution and progress
that labor, tbe sovereign, should plead
for safeguards at tbe hands of its own
creatures.
Congress and other lawmaking bod-
lee min t be made to feel that labor is
entitled to its just share in enactments
particularly affecting Us own rights
and Interests.
Labot has little to expect at the
hands of those In responsible charge of
tbe last session of congress.
We have much to look for In poll
cles outlined and sought to be carried
forward thut have their Initiative Iu
the organized labor movement
Ia Improving the condition of the
workers, la securing for them their
rights, liberty and sovereignty, there
is not involved the tearing down or the
destruction of any one or of anything.
The labor movement and Its results
encompass the well being of every
man, woman and child the country
ver. Organized labor is not destruc
tive, but constructive.
It devolves upon organized labor by
organization, agitation and education
to shape the next executive and the
next congress to ends that will Justify
the maximum efforts which may be
put forth In behalf of tbe great cause
of the rights of the workers, which In
its essence is the cause of human lib
erty. We call upon the workers of our
common country to stand faithfully by
our friends; oppose nnd defeat our ene
mies, whether they be candidates for
president, for conpress or other offices
whether executive,' legislative or Ju
dicial. American Federatiouist.
MOTHER CRUEL TO DAUGHTER.
Pittaford Woman Given a Light Sen
tence and Then Put on Probation.
Rutland, Feb. JO. Mrs. George Der
ry of Pittsford, who wns committed to
the; Rutland county jail a month ago
to await trial at the March term of
Rutland county court on the charge of
abutting an cight-mouths-old Infant
pleaded guilty before City Judge Farns'
worth yesterday afternoon and, on
recommendation of Kiate'a Attorney
J. C. Jones, was given a light sentenco
and relied In the custody of Proba
tion Oillcer A. T. VVoodard.
A petition, signed by the Juatlce who
bound Mrs. Berry over, the grand juror
who prosecuted her and Constable
James Tonnien wlio made the arrest
was handed to the states attorney
yesterday morning. The petitioners
said that Mrs. Berry was In a deli
cate condition and that the child had
Buffered no permanent Injury and was
now in the Latholto orphan asylum in
Burlington.
The child's mother disappeared soon
after its birth in Middlesex and iu was
left in the hands of Mrs. Berry's sister
who was caring for the mother. Khe
brought it to Pittsford and the Pitts
ford overseer of the poor gave Mr. and
Mrs. Berry IS to take it out ot the
state. They failed to do so and, it la
alleged, treated it with , neglect and
cruelty.
Toil and Sleep and Dirt and Toil.
Dirt and neglect and noise. Over the
stone pavement of the neglected street,
long out of repair, nlled with holes ana
old ruts, the great tmcks thundered all
day long and on a decrepit track one
of Mr. Bryan's ancient horse-cars bounc
ed and Jingled. Beyond belief, beyond
endurance in unaccustomed cars, wart
the roaring of that dreadful place: tbe
clanging diu of .traffic mixed with the
yelling of push-cart peddlers and the
batx'I of the vast throngs that over
flowed the sidewalks, made up a torrent
of maddening aound whereat the nerves
quivered In lost protest. From the de
mon Of that uproar was no escape: in
any room along the thoroughfare the
tumult resounded; even into the fear
ful rear rooms that were shut in and
walled around against air and light and
health came this hubbub; all day and
all the hours of it, roaring streets and
pounding trucks and joltine cars and
screaming children and yelling men. And
in that nightmare of dirt and noise and
foul odors, with scanty food and scanty
light and scanty air, without one glimpse
of beauty or comfort, on the bare rock
