Last week was my busy season, hence my failure to contribute my mite. However, for fear the associate editor may return with a flock of b ars, I herewith make promises I wi'l try to be more attentive to my duty, as I feel that all unionists should, consider it a duty incumbent upon them to assist in forae manner, since the editor'Stiine is consumed ir. preparing the "heavy" or "solid" matter (editorials), looking after subscription lists, soliciting pros pective advertisers, and a multitude of smaller duties. I take the liberty, therefore, to suggest that some one from each arganized body of working men send in, as often as convenient, something for publication. If it is not to the editors liking, he will change it it to suit himself, and you will doubt less be pleased with the finished prod uct. - ; In reading the press dispatches con cerning the great labor uprising in Spain, I notice that if. the printers re fuse to work, they , are dealt with by the military authorities. When one reads of this unjust method of discip line honest labor, he can easily ac count for the existence of the bloody anarchist. The nearest approach to domination so far witnessed in Uie United States was' when Gen. Merriam established his Bull Pen in Idaho. In speaking of the Idaho trouble, one of the leading dailies of the country said : "The United States troops, sent osten sibly to maintain order in a disturbed district, acted entirely for the mine owner?, arrested the local officers, in fluenced the courts, and generally did the dirty work of one faction of a wage controversy." The troopssent to Idaho took as a special duty the disruption nf labor unions, but our Spanish broth ers can find consolation in the fact that the labor unions of Idaho are stronger than' thev ever were previous to the visit of Merriam and his brigands to doubt that the man who formulated the rule which kept these innocent lit tle tots standing out in the snow ana the sleet until the hour should arrive when they could commence their sen tence of eleven or twelve Hours 01 dnidcrerv. was. at that moment, snugly ensconced in the bed the children as sisted him in buying. But let the mat ter pass, as we have snow storms very rarely. A minister of the gospel has asked, through the labor press, the best method of reaching organized labor, or the working people in general. To answer all his questions, would take much thought and a great deal of space. However, I believe a little more practical Christianity and a little less theology would do all classes, not to say the working people alone, a deal of good. It has always been a great wonder to me why the church fails to o-ive assistance and encouragement to labor organizations, for while the MmrMi nrennres one for eternity, the labor union prepares him for the church; that is, the labor union relieves one's burdens while on earth,- while the church points out the best method to be without burdens in tne nereauer. There is little doubt but that some f tVm orWI twinle of this citv class the burglars, who recently made the round of the city, as the very worst criminals. They are, to say the least, undesirable citizens, but I have un MrtVipd the worst of all criminals, in a person who distributed poison to kill unsuspecting dogs, cats, etc. x ms, x rlnim tn be an outrage on our boasted civilization, and-I must confess that I v fear to sleep in a community infested by such people, expecting any night to awake and find my house wrapt in flovnoc rVrtninlv the do? or cat is iiaixiv.'Ji v o . much more valuable to a community than the individual who destroys them. One morning, during the recent snow of small children were W etandirio- at the door "of the Ral- eigti Hosiery Company's mill, waiting for the toot ot tne wnisue iu gam ad mission to the well-warmed rooms within. There is scarcely any reason If You Don1 CHILD LABOK. Almost every day the columns of the newspapers are-filled with accounts of horrible accidents, .on land and sea, in which many lives are lost. Right here in our city quite re cently there was a most terrible and death-dealing explosion: All of these cause one to shudder with horor at the terrible loss of life ; but none of them thrills with such sickeniug; feeling as did the' hews sent out by the Associated Press the other day of a little eight-year old girl in Huntsville, Ala., losing seveial fingers of one of her hands in the machinery of a cotton mill. This little girl, nothing more than a baby, was forced by her parents to work in this dangerous place in order that they may enjoy the fruits of her labor, and, no doubt, the first thought of every one who read the story was to strongly censure the parents. But the question is, were the parents to blame? The answer is, No! The laws of the State that allowed this lit tle girl to work in the cotton mill is to blame. The law which is enacted by the Legislature has said to parents, u You have a right to sell your chil dren to the factories. Their hire is worth so much, and no one has a right tn sav von nav. Hire them out and w J J sell the bloom of their cheeks and the ustre of their eyes, and make them old men and women before they be come of age. Send them down to an early grave, and I will protect you " Alabama is not the only State that is cursed by such a law being on her statute books. Georgia has this in iquitous law, and all attempts to do away with it are frowned down by the men if they can be called men who are sent to the Legislature to repre sent the people. Human flesh and blood is placed at a cheap value by these men, and they have openly declared in their reports as committeemen, that they would rather see the young children slave their lives away in the cotton mills than to stop the cotton mills from locating here. In the great and final day these men will, from the regions of eternal dark ness, view the almost endless proces sion of little children as they pass be fore the Great' Throne, and- they will see the smile of submissive sweetness and compassion of the Great One as these children, maimed and dwarfed by the cotton mills, as He looked upon them. When it becomes their time to stand before the judgment bar, they will see the smile changed to the dark est frown, and then, as they approach closer, they will hear in thunderous tones their awful sentence : "Depart from me ye accursed."
