That is a very wholesome rebuke
to the goody goody folk who believe
that “the poor in the loomp is bad”
and to the social reformer who is al-
ways lecturing the workers on their
drunkenness and other vices. But even
Herbert Spencer had no idea of strik-

deplored, and to him the emancipation
of the workers from the thraldom of
capital meant “the coming slavery."—.

“As the death rate among the organiz-
ed men is so much lower than that
shown in the government reports, it
therefore follows that the rate of
deaths from tuberculosis among the un-
organized must be very much higher,
probably 74 per cent.
“To show that the figures furnished
by the cigarmakers can be relied upon
it may be necessary to explain just why
they are kept. The Cigarmakers’ union
is one of the few labor organizations in
the country that have a common fund,
so that no benefits can be paid from
the local unions except in conformity
with the constitution, and all such bene-
fits must be recorded at the general of-
fice.
“The union pays a death benefit to
every member in good standing, besides
paying partial benefits on the death of
each cigarmaker’s wife or mother, as
the case may be, so that vital statis-
tics, which are absolutely correct, are
kept not only of the cigarmakers them-
selves, but also of their wives, or moth-
ers if they are unmarried. Before the
benefit is paid a physician must fill
out a form giving the cause of death,
so that it can readily be seen the death
rate from tuberculosis is an easy mat-
ter to get at.
“Since 1886 the Cigarmakers’ union
has had an eight hour day, and what
effect that has had in reducing the
death rate from tuberculosis as well
as increasing the average age length
of life can be seen from the following
figures:
“In 1890, the first year in which vital
statistics were compiled, the death rate

cent, is fairly general throughout the
state. In New York city, however, the
principal losses were in the building
and the woodworking trades.
“At the end of September the bureau
of labor statistics had 2,505 labor un-
ions on its records, a decrease of fifty-
one since March 81. The aggregate
membership of all unions was 891,681,
a decline of 8,051, or 2 per cent, since
March.”

How the Ravages of Consumptien
Have Been Cheeked In the Cigar-
making Industry—Mortality Lowest
in Union Shops.
In an article in the Chicago Inter
Ocean Luke Grant gives some interest-
ing figures and facts to show that the
labor unions can do much to stamp out
consumption from the factories if they
go about it in the proper way. He
gives figures that indicate mortality is
much lower in union shops; Mr. Grant
says: “An agitation is being started by
physicians and students of sociology
among the labor unions of the city to
secure the co-operation of their mem-
bers in endeavoring to stamp out tu-
berculosis. That much can be accom-
plished along those lines is simply dem-
onstrated by the vital statistics kept
by the Cigarmakers’ international un-
ion, one of the strongest and best con-
ducteg labor organizations in the world.
“In a general way every student of
the labor question is ready to admit
that the unions have done much to
procure better sanitary arrangements
in workshops and factories, but to get
at actual concrete facts we must take
an organization like that of the cigar-
makers, where results can be shown
correctly by figures.
“At the present time President George
W. Perkins of the Cigarmakers’ Inter-
national union is preparing some vital
statistics that will prove extremely in-
teresting when completed, but if we
take those completed up to 1900 they
furnish one of the strongest arguments
in favor of labor unions that could be
produced. They also show what the
■labor unions can accomplish in stamp-
ing out tuberculosis if they take the
matter up in earnest, which they will
only do as a result of agitation and
education on the right lines.
“The United States census reports
show that the workers in the cigar in-
dustry stand the second highest on the
list in the number of deaths resulting
from pulmonary diseases. The last cen-
sus report shows that of the total deaths
in the cigar industry 62 per cent was
due to pulmonary diseases. In the same
year the vital statistics kept by the Ci-
garmakers’ union show that the death
rate among the organized workers from
the same cause was only 33 per cent.
That was for the year 1900.
“The figures tell a more startling
story than appears at a casual glance,
for the reason that the government re-
ports, of course, include both organized
and unorganized workers. Out of the
Houston, Texas. 80,000 cigarmakers in the country some-
thing over one-half belong to the union,

Herbert Spencer’s Rebuke to the
Goody Goody Folk Who Lecture thg
Laborer on His Vices—Stupidity o2
the Average Reformer.
A correspondent sends us the follow-
ing cutting from Herbert Spencer’s
“Social Statics,” with the suggestion
that it might be useful:
“It is a pity that those who speak
disparagingly of the masses have not
wisdom enough to make due allowance
for the unfavorable circumstances in
which the masses are placed. Suppose
that after weighing the evidence it
should turn out that the workingmen
do exhibit greater vices than those
more comfortably off. Does it therefore
follow that they are morally worse?
Shall as much be expected from their
hands as from those born into a more
fortunate position? Surely the lot of
the hard handed laborer is pitiable
enough without having harsh judg-
ments passed upon him.
“To be wholly sacrificed to other
men's happiness, to be made a mere
. human tool, to have every faculty sub-
ordinated to the sole function of work—
this, one would say, is alone a misfor-
tune needing all sympathy for its miti-
gation. It is very easy for you, O re-
spectable citizen, seated in .your easy
chair with your feet on the fender, to
hold forth on the misconduct of the
people, very easy for you to be a pat-
tern of frugality, of rectitude, of so-
briety. What else should you be? Here
you are surrounded by comforts, pos-
sessing multiplied sources of lawful
happiness, with a reputation to main-
tain, an ambition to fulfill and pros-
pects of a competency for old age. If
you do not contract dissipated habits,
where is the merit? How would these

7 from tuberculosis was 49 per cent of
the total. In 1895 this had been re-
duced to 35 per cent, and in 1900 it was
further reduced to 33 per cent. The
figures for the present year when they
are completed will show a still more
marked decrease and will be about 24
per cent
“While these figures are interesting,
those pertaining to the average length
of life of the men and their wives and
mothers are even more so. In 1890 the
average length of life of the wives and
mothers of cigarmakers was 38 years,
according to the records kept of bene-
fits paid. In 1895 it had increased to
89.2 and in 1900 to 46 years. During
the same periods the average length of
life of the cigarmakers was in 1890
87.5 years, in 1895 it was 39 years, and
in 1900 it was 48.5 years. In other
words, in ten years, from 1890 to 1900,
= the average life of a wife or mother of
a cigarmaker had been lengthened
eight years and the men themselves
six years. The figures are commended
' to the careful thought of the opponents
of the shorter workday, who profess to
believe the country will go to the dogs
if a general eight hour day is inaugu-
' rated.”
j Mr. Grant then goes on to show the
' difference made by the eight hour day
' and where it benefits the workingman
in his home. He also cites a number of
Instances where the cigarmakers went
on strike against unsanitary conditions
or because the factory was not swept
