REASONS FOR OPPOSITION
fO TRADES UNIONS BY
SOME MANUFACTURERS.
I am'opposed to trades unions
because I believe the workers
should be satisfied with any con
ditions the bosses want to place
on them.
I am opposed to trsdes unions
because wherever they exist the
workers are more independent,
and insist on what they might
call their rights.
I am opposed to trades unions
because wherever they exist the
rate of wages is always higher,
and I believe in low wages al
ways and everywhere.
I am opposed to trades unions
because wherever the workers
are organized the hours of labor
have been reduced. Organized
trades have the shortest workday.
I believe in long hours, as it tends
to keep the toilers ignorant; I
don't think they ought to know
too much.
I am opposed to trades unions
because they are trying to take
children out of the shops and
factories and put them to school,
and have secured the passage of
laws that prohibits their employ
ment under a certain age. Chil
dren will work for almost noth
ing, and if the unions succeed in
sending them to school they will
became educated and ask ugly
questions when they grow up.'
The way to keep these working
people ignorant is to make their
children work.
I am opposed to trades unions
because they demand that women
shall receive equal pay with men
for equal work. I think a wo
man should be content with what
evershe can get. She has got
no vote anyway, and if these
trade unionist would only stop
their agitations we should soon
have her tov work for nothing.
,1 am opposed to trades unions
because they insist on and have
secured the passage of legislation
that make the boss protect dan
gerous machinery and run his
factory under ''proper sanitary
conditions. I think this is all
v
rot ; it costs the boss money.
Formerly, if a man was killed,
or lost a limb, or met with an
accident, that was all there was
about it. Men are cheap and
anxious to get work, and if it
were not for these blamed unions
w.e could do as we liked and run
our business to suit ourselves.
I am opposed to trades unions
on' principle. I don't think they
are any good; they make the
wage-earner dissatisfied; they
put the idea into his head that he
has a right to think for himself ;
that tie should receive more re
turns from his labor ; that he
should work less hours ; that he
has a right to enjoy some of the
luxuries of life, and that their
children have the same right to
be educated as the children of
the rich,
Yes, I am utterly opposed to
trajdes unions , first, last and all
the time. 'f They make the work
ingmen think they have the right
to set a price on their labor, and
say under what conditions they
will work. If we could only get
ri4 of unions, we could ; do pretty
well as we liked.' " 1 We could
work men for twelve or fourteen
hours a' day at a dollar rate, and
he would be too ignorant to make
a kick. Yes, these trades unions
1
are a bad thing when they teach
out-woikers, that they have rights
tm jfome. .as we-Jkave. ;iThat . . is
where I draw the line, and I
don't see how any intelligent
person can uphold them in their
outrageous demands. Yes, sir,
the union is a bad thing; a bad
thing. I say a very bad thing;
it should be suppressed. Roches

MAKE EGGSTELL THEIR
AGES.
A German scientist has discov
ered an infallible method for
making eggs tell their own age.
It consists simply of immersing
the egg in a solution of salt con
taining about eight ounces to the
pint. When the salt has thor
oughly dissolved, the egg to be
tested is dropped gently into the
glass containing the solution. If
the ejg is only one day old it
sinks immediately to the bottom ;
if three days old it sinks just
below the surface only, and from
five and upward it floats.
Another process has just been
awarded a metal in SaxOny by
the National Society of Poultry
Breeders. It is well known that
the air cavity at the blunt end
of the egg enlarges as the age of
the egg increases. Consequently,
if the egg be placed in a solution
similar to the one described
above it will have an increasing
tendency to float with the long
axis vertical. A scale of angles
is placed at the back of the
vessel, and from the inclination
of the egg to the horizontal the
age can be gauged almost to a
day. A new-laid egg lies hori
zontally at the bottom of the
vessel. When three to five days'
old the egg raises itself from the
horizontal, so that its long axis
makes an angle of about 20 de
grees with the horizontal. At
eight days this angle increases
to about 45 degrees ; at fourteen
days it is, 60 degrees; at about
three weeks it is about 75 degrees,
while after four weeks it .stands
upright on the painted end.
MODErIn TABLES.
There was a business man who
wore a frock coat and rode in a
Pullman.
And his employers said : 'Sir,
I object to thus and so. If you
do not concede these points ' it
will make trouble:"'
And the man said : "I have
nothing to . concede. My mills
are built to be run, and they will
run." . , ,
There was a jackass who stood
on the railroad track. And a
train came along. And .the bell
rang and the whistle blew. But
the Jackass said "It is not my na
ture to move under compulsion."
And he s'ood still.
And- the business man's work
men tied his mills in a bow knot.
And it took him two years to
I find out whether his business was
1 on its head or its heels after the
troubled was settled. And the

country that it has not stopped

ANIMALS VS. CHILDREN.
While the Thanksgiving din
ner of turkey" and trimmings
j were being seryed for' the seventy
( fortunate inmates of the Chicago
jhome for friendless dogs and 'cats
an unfortunate f ather-r-Charles
F. Maloney,' " of No. 559 South
! State street, was trudging through
,the South division carrying his
diphtheria striken ' two-year-old
daughter in his arms in search of
some ' asylum,'' home of spJace
where-she' could be taken in atid
'cared for. Refused admission at
hospital and dispensary, one after
another, he finally reached a
police slaiiou vrhence he was
directed to the health department,
but the child died before he ar
rived at the commissioner's office.
The health department used the
story as the basis for an appeal
for someone to emulate the found
ers of the "home for friendless
dogs and cats," and provide hos
pital accomodations for friendless
infants and children stricken
with contagious diseases. Now
the only place for diphtheria cases
is to the overcrowded county hos
pital, from ten to eighteen miles
anyway. Ex.
DID NOT "SPEAK WITH
KNOWLEDGE.
On a clear and beautiful Sun
day morning recently, in a parish
not far from Milwaukee, a priest
was pleased to note the presence
at service of an unusually large
number of the male members of
his congregation, and since he
had been informed of considerable
trouble in his flock, he considered
it an opportune time to give
those present a friendly, yet
pointed, sermon on forbearance.
He charged the men, particular
ly the married men, to be ever
kind, courteous and considerate
to women ; to overlook all oppor
tunities for trouble ; to be good
to than and solicitous of their
welfare, and finished with a mas
terly peroration relating to con
nubial decency on the part of
husbands.
Shortly after, he met an old
respected member of the church,
and said :
"Micheal, I was glad to see
you at church Sunday. And
how did you like the sermon?"
"Well, father," the old man
answered,! "the . language was
beautchiful and the delivery was
foine, but, be jabbers, father, if
you was only married about
three months, you'd tell a differ
ent story !" Milwaukee Journal.
