THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. LABOR;STRIKES DO NOT PAY VOLUME V. The Meeting of LABOR;STRIKES A Thoughtful Survey of the American Labor Problem Suggested by the Walk-Out at Jeffersonville—Costly to the Whites and Fatal to Negroes. Do strikes pay. This oft repeated query has been very flatly answered in the negative at Jeffersonville, Ind., where three hundred or more operatives in the American Car and Foundry company walked out because of non compliance with a demand for an advance of 25 per cent in their wages. The withdrawal of these mechan co-left an army of helpers and laborers with nothing to do in the shops, and they had to go out, too, willy or nilly. Hundreds of the latter class were colored. They were not members of the union, and had no desire to strike, nor sympathy with the policy of that proscriptive organization. To strengthen their cause, however the union leaders deemed it advisable to bring the Negroes into the fold, and a number of them joined the separate organization provided for them, fearing that a refusal to do so would bar them from further work at the close of the strike, be it a success or failure. Thus more than 700 men were idle, pending the settlement of the grievance alleged. Six long weeks of dickering, many conferences and much sorrow and travail elapsed. Today finds the whole outfit back at their posts, practically at the company's terms, with no recognition of the union stipulated. A sliding scale of wages was adopted carrying an increase of from five to fifteen cents per day, which the corporation had offered a the outset, but which had been haughtily declined throughout the weary siege. The "strike breaker" in the case was Grim Starvation. Count up the cost of the unpleasantness. How many wage earners can be absent from work for six weeks without suffering direful consequences? It is not difficult to imagine the daily depletion of the little exchequer, grocery bills accumulating, rent behind, wife ailing and baby sick; no money for medicine or dainties; hoping against hope for a call to duty at any price. This is the monotonous routine endured by the majority of the families, the heads of which were unemployed, because ambitious walking delegates had ordered a strike without due deliberation, and a semblance of the "stiff upper lip" had to be kept up to maintain the dignity of their position. It is estimated that the actual cost of the Jeffersonville strike was not less than $75,000, of which the men lost in wages $30,000, and the company $45,000. To the community at large the damage was not less than $4,000, as every business which depended upon the general patronage was deeply affected by the withdrawal of trade and tightness of money that usually flowed freely. Not a penny of this can be made up, and it is fair to presume that even with the infinitestimal increase granted it will be many months before the families of the strikers can begin to see the entrance to "Easy street." This strike did not pay. It is of a piece with hundreds of others that disturb the business interests of our republic. Does any strike really pay? Whether the operators are white, black or mixed, who in the long run is obliged to make good the losses—their own and those of the employers? The consuming public, of course, of which mass the working men form the larger part. Then, isn't their a moral question bund up in these labor and capital quarrels that must not be overlooked? The unions say in effect that the managers of great corporations who have invested their money, and personal resources of every kind in a business shall not be permitted to conduct that business, except in a way satisfactory to a section of their employees who have not a dollar's interest in the plant. The unions, purely personal and private associations, insist that employees be granted sundry conditions, whether the condition of business justify them or not. The members thereof must not be asked to work beside an equally competent man who does not see fit to become one of their order, and no one must be discharged except for reasons when they can approve. A failure to comply with each and every provision means a shutting up of the shop, and no other men must be allowed to take the abandoned places in which they claim a vested right. Corporations must not be free to employ whomsoever they please, nor shall outside workmen accept employment, if they feel that they can put up with the rules and wages of the institution. This course—not far removed from petty tyranny—is unionism gone mad! Put the boot on the other leg. A peculiar thing about the extremists of these order is that rules fit the description frequently applied to poor one—they work but one way. The union arrogates to itself to decide who may work, how long, and at what compensation. No corporation or individual in business has any right which organized labor is bound to respect. It says black faced men, red-haired women, or long-eared boys shall not be allowed to earn their bread, the dictum must stand. It must have no law beyond its own sweet will. Suppose now that the corporations should discharge union men because of a refusal to work for a certain scale. Not content with it, suppose they claim a right to their services, and by some law, self made, they follow up the men and forcibly prevent them from making arrangements elsewhere—even refusing them peacable protection in their own homes—wouldn't that be regarded as an unmitigated outrage? Wouldn't a howl go up that would reverberate from Dan to Beerahaeba! We draw this parallel in passing merely to illustrate that capital, perchance, has rights as well as labor, and that "sauce for the goose ought be sauce for the gander." TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 20, 1903. NOTICE! KEIZER MUST TELL THE COURT! FΓ ROBINSON NOTES. NUMBER 46. Defacement of Ancient Statues in the British Museum and a Cold Swipe of Tammany Hall. The Negro's Opportunity to Step in With Both Feet. have been "good enough Morgans for him," and he has used them to his political undoing to increase his political power, to minimize the political influence of the Negro and to glorify and exploit the achievements of the "Anglo Saxon race." The experiment has not been a blooming success. It looks very like a case of of the "Iar the Tartar." New York city is a sinkhole of political corruption and itsiquity. The "better element" attempted to fomigate it with fusion. The result has been "confusion worse confounded." South Carolina in her palmiest days of Carpetbag rule was not as thoroughly saturated and embroidered with the crime and corruption in high places to the extent which all the campaign orators in the late conflict charged against Tammany Her thieves were mere tyros compared with the political buccaneers and highwaymen of Tammany, if all we hear is true. Tammany hall is the political annex of the Roman Catholic church in America. It isn't fashionable to say this; but I am not a fashionable man. Yet, nevertheless and notwithstanding, there are plenty of people in New York and out of it who know that the leaders of this "corrupt political organization" are, if not openly identified with the Roman Catholic church, secretly in sympathy with it. Nearly every prominent official in Tammany is a Roman Catholic. The ultimate aim of Tammany hall is to make New York city a Catholic stronghold, and it will do it sooner or later. Deteat only nerves it to greater effort and energy for the next struggle. It has a large clientele to draw from for support, and it has its own methods of dealing with the masses and the classes. Tammany is invincible, but not invulnerable. The Negro has been shoved aside and snubbed by the politicians, and the Italian, the Irishman and the Hebrew have been flattered and coddled by them, in the hope of eliminating the Negro entirely as a factor in the politics of New York city and county; but when these aliens learn to turn the trick they invariably lean towards Tammany and ultimately tall in. The problem in New York politics today is Tammany, and the politicians of all parties are finding it more abtruse and difficult of solution than any ever evolved from the brain of the African Euclid, who knew a few things about problems himself. The struggle in New York will ultimately reach a crisis. Each recurring campaign will hasten it, and when it comes the Negro's opportunity will be at hand. I hope he will be wise enough to see it and to step on it with both feet. The name "Gothamite" sometimes applied to citizens of New York, seems to exactly fit some of them. It isn't a synonym for inteilligence, or public or private virtue, or private honesty. The name was originally applied to the natives of Gotham, in Nottinghamshire, England, who were celebrated for their blunders and oddities. In another sense, it means one deficient in, or utterly without, taste—a rude, ignorant person—a barbarian. This seems to fit the Tammany section of Gothamists who are now floundering in the glare and blaze of a victory as decisive as it was sudden and undeserved. They laid low, and laid Low on the political cooling board. Oh! Ouch!! JOHN E. BRUCE. THERE seems to be something stirring in legislative circles, as every explanation thickens the mystery. There ss something "dead in Denmark." WAR is a common doing down in Hayti; in fact, so common a thing that an annual declaration of war causes less comment than a bull fight in Mexico. It is now generally understood that Senator Hanna will manage the next national campaign and that means that the position will be well filled. No one man, in the history of American politics, has ever before managed three successive campaigns. WESTERN UNIVERSITY NOTES. The State and University trustees boards convened Nov. 11th and 12th respectively at the University. Both boards were elated over the work the school is doing. The following prominent men were in conference, Rt. Rev. C. T. Shaffer, Rev. Dr. D. P. Roberts, Rev. Dr. W. T. Vernon, Rev. J. D. Barksdale, J. H. Crews, Rev. R. H. Longdon, Rev. M. S. Bryant, Rev. J. R. Ransom, Rev. G. H. Shaffer, Rev. J. W. Braxton, Rev. F. J. Peck, H. Barnett and R. Barbour. The university has had a very distinguished visitor in the person of Prof. John H. Jackson who gave the school a very interesting lecture. His remarks were both instructive and far reaching truths, and his visit will long be remembered by the school. Among other things he said, "Western University is destined to be the best institution for the education of Negro boys and girls west of the Mississippi river." Prof. Jackson has been an educator of note for over twenty years and is in a position to authentically say that no other school of the age of Western University, in the United States has made such giant strides upward. His new book, "History of Fducation, is destined to do great work. The Seminary was interesting last week. A very learned paper on "How to acquire a taste for good music," was read by Mrs. R. G. Jackson, and piano selections by students were well rendered. The vocal music of the school is reaching a high standard. Prof. R. G. Jackson is rehearsing an excellent chorus and the choir under his direction is doing excellent work. Dec. 18, is the date of the next public recital by the music department. The young men have organized a debating club under Prof. Gregg's direction. Rev. Barkesdale, Rev. Wilson, Rev. J S Smith, the Misses Porter, Rev Ezekiel Smith, Mr Flake, Dr P M Edwards, and others have been among our visitors during the past week. New students arrive daily. The Christian Endeavor has been organized and much good is expected to come from it as we have a corps of euergetic and fervent young officers. Rev J S Johnson has returned from a trip through Ohio and promises us a sketch of the good work being done in the colored schools for our next issue.

IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED The Northwest wall of the building occupied by the American Steam laundry has been neglected until it became dangerous. The upper story is occupied by a boarding house, whose boarders number from 40 to 60 men. The proprietor of the boarding-house, some five weeks ago, went to Mr. Brown, the agent, and asked him to repair it. He did not even come and examine it, but by chance, one of the firemen from Station No.2 happened to see it, and immediately reported it to Fire Marshall Wilmarth, who called on Mr. Brown and informed him that he must immediately commence repairing the wall, or he would order all tenants out. Mr. Brown still refused and he said he would order all tenants out, and would also hold him responsible for any accident that may happen to the tenants. Notwithstanding Mr. Brown has received his rent in advance, so the tenants say, he has absolutely refused to put even a dollars worth of repairs on the building in five years. They say they have paid him not less than five thousand dollars. The owner, they say, lives in Chicago. NOTICE OF EXTENSION AND CONTINUANCE OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP.

On this date the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Company assumes charge of the line formerly known as the Ozark & Cherokee Central Railway, extending westwardly from Fayetteville, Ark., to Okmulgee, I. T., a distance of 143.9 miles. As will be noted by reference to the map, this line forms a connecting link between our Central Division and the Red River District. Aside, however, from the convenience of this connection, the road penetrates a section offering excellent opportunities to those in search of a new location, either from a commercial or farming standpoint. Fayetteville, its starting point, is located in one of the best portions of the Ozark fruit belt, and the line will open, to the west of that place, a country whose ability to produce apples, peaches and other fruits has already been demonstrated, and whose prosperity and rapid development is, since the establishment of railway communications, assured. Passing through the "Land of the Big Red Apple," the line enters the Indian Territory, near Westville, crossing the Cherokee Nation, and traversing the Creek Nation, a country that has lately attracted attention all over the United States by reason of Congressional legislation permitting the acquirement therein, by outsiders, of Indian allotments. The Creek Nation is known to possess as great (if not greater) proportion of available land to square mile as any other of the Indian reservations that have been opened to white settlement. The character of its soil and climate is almost identical with that of Oklahoma. Wheat, corn and cotton grow side by side, and all yield crops calculated to astonish, by their abundance and excellence, farmers from the older states. A number of the towns shown in the appended list are of recent birth, and all are in a condition of rapid and substantial development. Business openings of all sorts are to be encountered on every hand, for the man with large or small capital—in many cases for the man with no capital.

E. church Tuesday the roth, inst., uniting Miss Bertha Doyle to Mr. John George. The bride and groom were becomingly attired. The bride's brother, Mr. Albert Doyle, and Miss Florence Jones were best man and bridesmaid. Miss Elnora V. Hudson preceded the ceremony with a solo, "The Throne I Offer the Dear Heart," which was well received. A swell reception was given by the bride's mother, Mrs. Sarah Redmond, at her residence. They received many handsome as well as useful presents as evidence of their popularity amid a wide circle of friends. The residence was very beautifully decorated. On the 10th inst. was the 18th birthday anniversary of Miss Elnora V. Hudson and several friends gathered at her father's residence and gave her several tokens of "Good Will," among which was a fine gold watch, presented by her father. The house was decorated in flowers and palms. Miss Mabel Bush of Lincoln, Neb., attended the Hudson function and presented the young lady with a gold ring.

Blind Boone played to a large and appreciative audience Friday evening of last week at the A.M. E. church. This is the twenty-third season for this renowned musician. It is marvelous to think of a blind man playing as he did—plays with accuracy and feeling. He played several of his own compositions. One wonderful accomplishment of Blind Boone is to be able to play any piece which he has heard, no matter how difficult. Miss Mattie Miller played "Blue Bells of Scotland" with variations, which Blind Boone played after her. Boone, while an accomplished musician, plays to the populace, and his music, without being common, is such as pleases an audience from the most accomplished players to children and the man who cannot tell classica from rag-time music. The program was varied from classical to the plantation songs, which set the audience into roars ofaughter. The play given by Mt. Moriah Tabernacle was a success. The virgins, all robed in white, played their parts well, especially the foolish virgins. The chorus was very good. Two prizes were given away; Mrs. Belle Jeans received first prize; Mrs. Snoden, second prize. Mr. Sam Jeans is on the sick list.

RockIsland System D. P. A., Top lunchon was served by Mrs. Brookins. Many fine and costly presents were received by the bride and groom. Mr. Johnson is a fine young man, never idle, always at work, and has many friends, but best of all, he has a good bank account. Mrs. Jordan formerly of Topeka, has made many friends since she has been in the city. She has worked hard and cared for herself nicely in every respect and has proved herself a worthy lady. The happy couple had nothing to do but step across the street to a neat little cottage, elegantly furnished with everything as fine as could made with money. This couple is worthy of emulation by all who expect to join hands in the bonds of holy wedlock. --- A. E. COOPER, Rock Island System KINGFISHER, O. T.
