The Houston strike has not 'been de-
clared off and will be continued as long
as there is a dollar to fight with, the re-
ports in the daily papers to the contrary.
The fake report in the News and Post
every few days that the strike at Hous-
ton is off is getting to be something like
the canards about Port Arthur falling.
These papers will insist that the strike
is over even in the face of protests from
the Labor Council officers at Houston
that it is not. ;

Australian Rabbits.
“The rabbit of my country,” said an
Australian, “will fight a circular saw,
and that is one of the chief reasons
why our government has been offering
for years an immense sum of money to
the man whose cleverness will rid us
of the pest. There is no dog over there
gritty enough to give them combat.
“In some remote sections of Australia
we have a rabbit which is nearly the
equal of the panther in size and which
when aroused will whip any panther or
other species of wildcat of its size as
easily as a cat will crush a mouse.
They carry off pigs, poultry and young
sheep to their mountain lairs, and there
is a tradition that they have, when as-
sailed by hunger, attacked full grown
men. At any rate, the people of these
districts dread them to such an extent
that they never fail to carry their
trusty rifles along, even when paying
neighborly calls.
“It is the odium these fighting bun-
nies have brought on the rabbit family
that makes Australia so eager to be rid
of the beasts. I suppose the kind you
have in the States are quite bad
enough, but for heaven’s sake never
allow any of our terrors to land on
yor soil lest they propagate and make
for you the same miserable rabbit prob-
lem that has worried us so long.”-

Why do you suppose the parrys are
putting up such a fight for the open shop
unless it is to lessen the cost of pro-
duction? They know full well to win
means the destruction of the Unions,
which will place all labor in the market
fighting one another, competing with one
another, increasing hours and the unem-
ployed.
credentials should be returned to
local.
The greatest stimulant to the growth of
organized labor is opposition. Parry is
finding it cut.
The professional scab will never, if he
knows it, buy Union label goods, but
there are some Union men who will
knowingly buy scab made goods-for in-
stance, Durham tobacco.
Organized labor has a right not only
to ask, but to expect the public to buy
union label goods in preference to others.
Organized labor has the right to expect
that society will support it in curing
great social evils and carrying on a work
that must accomplish results of immense
social advantage.

the danger they were in, they would give
the Katy a wide berth.”

Q. Mr. Gompers, do you think that the
nomination of Mr. Roosevelt has been re-
ceived or will be received enthusiastically
in labor circles throughout the country?
Q. Do you believe that the promises of
the “full dinner-pail” made by the re-
publicans four years ago have been ful-
filled?
A. I prefer not to answer your ques-
tions. I am engaged in trying to organ-
ize the workingmen of the country for
the purpose of protecting and promoting
their industrial and their economic in-
terests. The whole history of the labor
movement demonstrates this fact, that
the more closely we adhere to the policy
of keeping the trade union movement
free from partisan bias or influence, the
more permanent and successful do we be-
come. I shall, therefore, during this cam-
paign continue to devote my energies to
the work outlined by our movement.
The success of the labor movement does
not depend upon a political party or a
political campaign., Its work is not con-
fined to a brief period every four years,
but it is carried on day after day and
year after year.
If the workingmen while exercising
their political privileges and rights will
free themselves from partisan domina-
tion and adhere more closely to the move-
ment for the maintenance of the rights
which they have achieved, and the attain-
ment of further rights to which they are
entitled, the better it will be for them and
the country at large, and these can be the
best secured by the American Federation
of Labor, as such, abstaining from par-
tisan political action.
The Major munched his hay and
meditated. The Girl had given him an
apple that morning, reaching it up to
him daintily as he stood near the ter-
race.
The Major had taken the apple care-
fully from the Girl’s soft hand. He
had blinked a slow “Thank you” with
his great kind eyes. Then at Dick’s
command he had trotted gravely away.
Next to Dick, Major loved the Girl.
Sometimes he grew impatient even
with Dick. Now was one of the times.
The rich flavor of that late russet still
lingered in his mouth. He wondered
—the Major—if the Girl herself never
grew impatient with Dick.
Of course the Girl loved Dick. One
couldn’t help that, even if one did
grow impatient sometimes and want
to be off on a stiff trot when one was
told to walk. But did Dick love the
Girl? Or was it Geraldine?
He Went to see Geraldine nearly
every week, and almost never to see
the Girl. But time was, not so long
ago, when they—Dick and the Major-
had waited before the Girl’s door near-
ly every day.
To be sure, they always had waited.
And sometimes, the Major remember-
ed now with a sigh, he had grown res-
tive and impatient with the long delay.
But in time the Girl had always come
—well worth waiting for. And before
she stepped into the carriage she had
always stroked his nose and fed him
a lump of sugar or told him admiringly
what a fine horse he was.
Geraldine never noticed him at all,
except to scream when he jumped at
an automobile. The Major didn’t ap-
prove of Geraldine, although, perhaps,
she was prettier than the Girl. But
Dick evidently did approve of her.
The Major chewed away on his crisp
hay and meditated. Sometimes he felt
that he must do something desperate,
something that would open Dick’s eyes
to the superiority of the Girl.
The Major meditated a long time
over his hay before Dick came to har-
ness him. The Major saw, with joy,
that it was the single carriage which
was drawn out, not the surrey. That
only two people should ride together
in the same carriage at the same time
was one of the Major’s pet theories.
Dick whistled all through the har-
nessing. The Major didn’t know one
tune from another, but he did know
that when Dick whistled he was in
good humor. So he, the Major, pranced
a little as he had always done when
he was young, to show that he, too,
was light hearted.
The Major crossed the bridge with
a slow, steady trot, increased his pace
up the long hill, dashed determinedly
by the turn which led to Geraldine’s
and, his head held high, drew up be-
fore the Girl’s house.
When he looked around at his mas-
ter Dick did not seem ill pleased. He
seemed surprised, but that may have
been because the Girl was ready and
waiting.
She came down the walk. She wore
a blue shirt waist and her prettiest hat.
In her slender, ungloved hand was a
great lump of sugar.
“It’s for you, sir,” she said, reach-
ing up the crisp lump to Major. Then
she stood on tiptoe and patted his nose.
“Good Major, good old Major,” she
The eight hour work day movement is
not a selfish m.vem-nt. It is a great
economic question.
Labor Day is to be added to the gov-
ernment holiday list. This decision was
reached after a conference at the white
house Saturday between President Roose-
velt, Comptroller Tracewell of the treas-
ury and Attorney General Robb. The
order granting government employes a
holiday on Sept. 5 means much to labor.
The people of Texas have seen in the
conditions existing in the state of Colo
1
rado what to expect should the trusts
।
and corporations obtain complete con- ,
trol of the state administration. Corpo-
rations, in the furtherance of their plans,
whether political or industrial, place
absolutely, no value on human life, and
if the trusts and the corporations should
get absolute control of the state govern-
ment of Texas, and they should deem it
necessary to bring about Colorado con-
ditions in Texas, for the purpose of fur-
thering their schemes, let no man be
simple enough to think that they would
hesitate to inaugurate a reign of mili-
tary despotism, just as they have done
in Colorado. In Colorado, the corpora-
tion instruments of murder, assassina-
tion and deportation, are the Citizens’ Al-
liance and the state militia, and the con-
duct of the Citizens’ Alliance since its
advent in this city is an earnest of what
may reasonably be expected, if the cor-
porations and trusts get absolutely in the
saddle in Texas. Now the Labor Jour-
nal has several- times said that a great
many good citizens have been inveigled
into membership in this organization by
absolutely false representations, and they
ought to hasten to wash their hands of
the dirty thing. The organization is part-
ly political in that it is an enemy to
democracy, the government of the people.
It is organized in the interest of the cor-
porations to the end that the govern-
ment may be wrested from the hands of
democracy and placed in the hands of
plutocracy, as represented by the trusts
and corporations. The chief conspirators
in this Citizens’ Alliance are a few cor-
poration boosters, who have heretofore
passed as democrats and all the white
(white skin) republicans in the city, who
are unsavory in the south for many rea
sons .chief of which is that they are will-
ing to homologate and associate with the
negro for the sake of dominating over the
white people of the south. There is no
doubt of the fact that the chief promoters
of this Citizens’ Alliance in Houston had
planned, at one time, to have it spread
to all the different cities of the state.
The idea was to fight in a clandestine
and assassin-like way, both. democracy
and organized labor. The first effort to
spread the blighting influence of this
snake-in-the-grass was to attempt to
fasten its venomous fangs on the city
of Galveston. This was a dead failure.
They encountered there too many men
who had brains as well as principle, hon-
esty, and property, and they refused to
have anything to do with an organiza-
tion whose dark lantern methods are sug-
gestive of the assassin and the midnight
burglar. With the advent in Texas of
such an infamous organization as the
Citizens’ Alliance, is there any wonder
then that the Farmers’ Unions and the
e State Federation of Labor should become
aroused lest they be murdered or assis-
sinated in order that the reign of the
trusts and the corporations may be made
absolute and certain. Let nobody be un-
easy about the formation of a new party
by the members of the Farmers’ Unions
and the State Federation of Labor, be-
cause they compose the democratic party
and they are democrats from principle
and not for pie and plunder.— Houston

said softly to him. “I believe,” she
added to Dick as he helped her into
the carriage, “that the Major under-
stands me thoroughly.”
“Lucky Major,” said Dick as he took
the lines. “I wish I had horse sense.”
The Girl laughed. Major would go
a mile over sandy roads to hear her
laugh. Now he started off at his best
gait. e He soon found that they were
going out into the country. Of that
the Major approved fully.
Dick and the Girl conversed read-
ily enough on various subjects—the
weather, the roads, the outlook for a
good hay crop. Interesting as this
last topic usually was to Major, he
felt vaguely dissatisfied now. Why
couldn’t that stupid Dick say some-
thing which would bring back to the
Girl’s voice the tone she had used
when she said “good old Major?” One
had only to look at her, the Major
knew. ’Twas easy enough.
Major sniffed and trotted on. Well
he knew the road—every inch of it
it led, up hill and down, past gay lit-
tle brooks, between fields bright with
cowslips, and orchards white with the
snow of cherry blooms, to the pine
grove on the bank of the river where
the arbutus grew.
The wind was soft and sweet with
the kisses it had stolen from the vio-
lets. Hosts of dainty bluets raised
their pretty parasols in the dust of the
wayside. The world was very fair
and in its May.
The Major wished that he could talk.
How stupid to be only a horse! For as
they went on and on silence fell upon
the occupants of the carriage. The Ma-
jor’s head dropped lower and lower. He
went more and more slowly.
The Girl hummed a careless little tune
under her breath. Dick addressed all
of his remarks to the Major, and the
Major did as he thought best about
obeying.
“Major’s lazy today,” said Dick
gloomily. “He’s scarcely worth his
feed; believe I’ll sell him when a chance
offers.”
The Girl’s voice was sweet, but a tri-
fle strained, when she responded. The
Major, who paid more attention to tones
than to words, knew that something
must be done for her. What should it
be? he mused as he walked slowly along
the road.
Then they turned from the main road
and went along a rough, uneven wagon
track through a pasture toward the
woods.
In the woods something might hap-
pen. Woods sweet with pine and pink
with arbutus offered many opportuni-
ties for the adjustment of complicated
love affairs.
Once under the pines, before Dick
could fasten the Major to a tree in a
cleared space the Girl was out of the
carriage and away through the green
glooms.
Dick followed more slowly. Major
stood quietly. Things seemed to go

readily enough. The Major was al-
ways polite to womankind out of re-
spect to the Girl and her apples and
lumps of sugar.
In the barn the woman fastened him
securely and gave him a drink of wa-
ter and a handful of hay. “Your mas-
ter ’ll be along soon enough lookin’
of you up,” she said as she went back
to her weeding.
Almost an hour later Dick walked
hurriedly along the road and up to the
farmhouse. Major heard his step and
his voice. “Can I borrow a horse and
carriage here?” he was saying. “My
horse has gone off without me”—
“Guess you’ll find him in the barn,”
said the woman. “He went walkin’
along by here quite a spell ago. Any-
thing wrong?”
There was nothing wrong. In fact,
to the Major’s way of thinking, every-
thing was right, for Dick’s face look-
ed just as it did after he (Major) had
won that race many years ago.
When Dick and the Major reached
the woods there was the Girl sitting
on the pine needles. And her cheeks
were as pink as the arbutus itself. And
her eyes—well, the Major just wished
she’d look at him as she did at Dick.
“Oh, Dick!” was all she said. But
Major knew.
wen ar nrsr. Inen there came a silence,
then another longer one; then there was
no conversation at all.
After awhile the Girl came out from
under the trees. Her face was sober.
Dick came behind her. She ran up to
him—the Major—and gave him some
grass. She slipped her arm around his
neck and said in a very low voice: “Ma-
jor, I wouldn’t be so stupid as your
master is—not for worlds! Would you ?”
Then she ran away again through
the soft gold green shadows. Dick fol-
lowed. There was a look on his face
which Major remembered to have seen
there once before when he, the Major,
had entered a horse race.
Major munched the grass and lis-
tened. He could hear Dick’s voice
speaking earnestly. Then came the
Girl’s, coolly defiant, tantalizing; then
Dick’s again. If only they could wait
long enough, matters would be decided.
Then it was that the Major took
matters into his own care. He pulled
gently at the halter; ’twas quite loose.
He pulled again and again, each time
harder. Dick had been thinking of
other knots than the one he was tying
when he fastened the Major, evidently.
It slipped, loosened, the halter fell.
Major was free to do as he liked.
With great care he measured his
space. There was just room to turn
around. Very carefully he did it, back-
ing the carriage quietly. Then, pick-
ing his way over the rough road and
broken bridge, he went slowly away.
He did not trot. He walked swiftly
and surely as for a settled purpose.
Any one seeing him would have said
that he was driven.
He reached the main road and start-
ed for home.
Surely somewhere in the pine woods
or on that long walk home the two,
Dick and the Girl, would come to an
understanding.
He went on leisurely, trotting easily
up the little Lill, then walking slowly
again, coming nearer and nearer to
the first dwelling this side of the pine
woods, a little farmhouse nestled
among the maples.
A woman pulling weeds from a flow-
er bed looked up at the sound of Ma-
jor’s steps. She pushed back her hat.
She glanced at the empty carriage.
Then she sprang to her feet and called
“Whoa!”
But the Major didn’t stop. The
woman ran down the walk and through
the gate and caught his bridle. “You’re
Dick Churchall’s horse,” she said with
a soft touch on his head. “Where is
your master?”
The Major didn’t wish to talk. And
he did wish to be on his way. But the
woman didn't understand. How could
she ? She was only a woman. She
led him through a gate and along a
driveway to a big barn. He went

Buffon’s Laziness.
Buffon rose always with the sun, and
he used often to tell by what means
he had accustomed himself to get out
of bed so early. “In my youth,” said
he, “I was very fond of sleep. It
robbed me of a great deal of my time,
but my poor Joseph (his domestic) was
of great service in enabling me to
overcome it. I promised to give Jo-
seph a crown every time that he could
make me get up at 6.
“The next morning he did not fail to
awake and torment me, but he re-
ceived only abuse. The day after he
did the same, with no better success,
and I was obliged at noon to confess
that I had lost my time. I told him
that he did not know how to manage
his business; that he ought to think.of
my promise and not to mind my
threats. The day following he em-
ployed force, and I begged for indul-
gence, I bid him begone, I stormed, but
Joseph persisted. I was therefore
obliged to comply, and he was reward-
ed every day for the abuse which he
suffered at the moment when I awoke
by thanks, accompanied with a crown,
which he received about an hour after.
Yes; I am indebted to poor Joseph for
ten or a dozen of the volumes of my
work.”
The packers may think they have won
or will win a victory in this contest. We
commend to their consideration the re-
sponse of Pyrrhus gave to his friends who
congratulated him on his victory over the
Romans under Fabricus: “If we have
another such victory we are undone.”
Have the packers ever heard the potent
phrase?
