Mr. Parry feel that he and those that he

The fact that he has passed from one

■ It would not be presuming too much,
perhaps, to say that any one of her rep-
resentatives or senators now in congress
1 would doubtless relinquish his seat in
that body and enter the race for this
office with a reasonable chance of elect-
, ion in the prospect.
। But this is only one side of the ques-
tion. Aside from individual aspirations,
so far as I am informed, the pleasure of
far as there is any record of their views,
have contended for eight hours for work
while others equally as wise have been
unable to formulate definite ideas on the
subject. But it seems incontrovertible
that the invention of labor saving ma-
chinery should lengthen and strengthen
the arm of labor and make the ways of
life easier and more happy. If it doubles
his power, he should share in its bene-
fits, and one of the greatest of' benefits
would be to lessen his hours of toil,
give him more time for recreation and
self improvement and add to the com-
forts of his home. If labor gets more
than its share of the wealth it produces,
how can the rapid accumulation of vast
wealth in the hands of a few be account-
ed for?
If Mr. Parry is going to use the acts
of violence committed by a few strikers
as the standard of measure for all mem-
bers of organized labor, he should apply
the same to the members of organized
capital.

Doubtless Mr. Parry and Mr. Car-
penter are warm-hearted, good meaning
men, but the time has now come
when we should not mince matters or
stand back on formalities. It seems that
these times of hurry and bluster crowd
out time for analytic thought, hence
dealing in personalities furnish the
most direct route to the mind. Times
of great activity or great excitement are
the most dangerous in shaping policies
of governments.
Doubtless the grand old Post will wel-
come expressions as to present condi-
tions and policies from any quarter.
The times are portentous, and it is with
a feeling of dizziness that we contem-
plate or try to forecast what the ending
will be.

governor of the state who could be de-
pended upon to do the right thing.
And with a legislature co-operating,
the working man in Texas could begin
to look forward to a future of promise.
As one who has enjoyed the honors of
his acquaintance to a limited extent,
and who has consequently had some ob-
servation of the man, but who yet knows
him better by reputation than other-
wise, I do not hesitate to say that with-
out qualification, that the people of
Texas could do themselves no better
turn than to support T. M. Campbell
for governor.

would not be without its interest. What

freedom from such acts? If so, he
should be more magnanimous.
The object of organization should be
for the general good. Is this so? It
should be for the just and equitable dis-
tribution of wealth. Is the'wealth of
our land being justly and equitably dis-
tributed, or is it centralizing and col-
lrcting in the hands of a few? Suppose
wealth to be increasing at a fourfold
rate and one-fourth nut one class in a
more prosperous condition than pre-
viously enjoyed. It is clear to be seen
that the three to one is an unjust ratio
and that centralization, the thing to be
fought by all governments, is rapidly
going on, and that the blind Sampson
is pushing the building down upon him-
self, as well as upon others. Is there
anything revolutionary in this? We
make a great hue and cry about edu-
cation—the prime object of which should-
be to bring people nearer together; to
bring them on an equality in power as
well as in rights. One of the greatest
sources of education is association.

The downpour of rain Tuesday night
prevented a large attendance of Dock
Workers at their meeting. President
Anderson called the meeting to order at
eight o’clock, as the members desired to
atttend the Schoenberg benefit enter-
tainment, but when he rain came down
in such torrents, it was decided to pos-
pone the entertainment.
The business agent made his report
for the end of the last quarter showing
that sixty-five members were dropped
from the rolls. This is a big drop for
one month but really is for three months,
as the dues are charged up quarterly.
The amendment ” to the constitu-
tion, relative to members holding mem-
bership in more than one local of the
I. L. M. & T. A., was laid on the table,
there only being one vote recorded
against it. •
Under the head of “new business” a
resolution was adopted appropriating
825-00 as their part of the expenses of
the State Federation convention. Other
organizations are sending in their do-
nations which assures the committee
that they will have little trouble in
raising the necessary $500 for the enter-
tainment of the delegates.

is made that, in every instance, prefer-
ence will be given to non-union work-
men, and particular stress is laid upon
the assertion that in the future the ten
establishments will be conducted as
“open shops.” It is a certainty that
the various unions connected with the
Allied Printing Trades Council will
knock this latest scheme on the bead by
forbidding any union member to work
in any office controlled by the “open
shop” crowd, thus placing the estab-
lishments where they properly belong.
Two weeks ago several boss barbers
attempted to run open shops, but the
Barbers’ Union immediately withdrew
all members from shops not having a
union card-
Practically every union in Los An-
geles has decided upon the policy of re-
fusing to be parties to the “open shop”
movement by making all shops either
strictly union or non-union. The action
of the unions has surprised the Citizens’
Alliance, which, evidently, had not
counted upon the determined stand that
is being taken by the organizations.
A careful comparison of the amount
of advertising appearing in the Los
Angeles Times for every day thus far of
1904, with the amount appearing for the
same days of 1903 shows a steady de-
cline, and that the circulation of the
Times has been badly crippled since the
advent of Hearst’s Examiner is apparent
to everybody, as the Examiner is easily
in the lead. There can be no doubt
that it is the intention of Otis to dis-
rupt every labor union in Southern Cal-
ifornia if he possibly can, and that he
has decided upon the open shop as the
most effective means of accomplishing
his purpose ; but his plan has been given
a severe check by the refusal of union
men to work in such shops, which has
had the effect of preventing many em-
ployers of labor with joining hands with
Otis, as they do not desire to be placed
at the mercy' of a lot of irresponsible,
incompetent mechanics, who are here
today and gone tomorrow. If they
could run a “mixed” force they would
gladly do so.
To the Journal :
I see it stated in some of the late
press reports that “the announcement
comes from West Texas that Governor
Lanham will have an opponent in the
race for governor at the coming state
convention.”
This is possible. Speaking of oppo-
nents, he may have more than one.
The governorship of Texas is a posit-
ion to which, it may be said with some
degree of truth, every public man of
distinction and ability in the state
aspires, and well he may. It is one not
to be despised. But to what extent
these aspirations will be encouraged, or
who the successful aspirant may be, it
would hardly be safe just now to try
and^conjecture.

I take the decided position—and there
are those who will agree with me, in
fact, no one at all familiar with the si-
nation will for a moment controvert—
that looked at from a gubernatorial
point of view, Eastern Texas possesses
some very valuable material. For in-
stance, what about the Hon. T. M.
Campbell of Palestine? I do not know
how he feels about it, or whether his
feelings in the matter have been con-
sulted; or, in fact, whether he could be
induced to accept at all, but if so, I
take occasion to say that he would make
a very formidable rival for the honor.
His eminent qualifications as a man of
affairs particularly fit him for the po-
sition. In the first piace, his long and
varied experience in the practice of his
profession as a lawyer—in which he has
had to deal with many of the social and
economic problems with which we are
now confronted, and which are pressing
and taxing the legislative and executive
government of the state for solution—
his remarkable executive ability and
above all, his irreproachable character
and integrity as a man, coupled with his
unswerving devotion to the industrial
welfare of the community and loyalty to
the true principles of Democracy, con-
spire to give him a prestige and’.fitness
for the place that maywell be regarded
as enviable. As a champion and vindi-
cator of the cause of labor and labor’s
rights, he would be in his native ele-
ment and entirely at home. With T. M.
Campbell in the governor’s chair the
laboring man in Texas would have some-
thing to expect and something for which
to hope. He would then have some
assurance that whatever laws might be
passed by the legislature in the interest
of the laboring man would not be blight-
ed by the governor's veto. He could

The following article was written of
the Houston Post by John M. King for
Paint Rock, Texas:
Doubtless in the maganimity of your
heart and in your high sense of justice,
you earnestly desire to see some one
reply to Mr. Parry’s assault on labor
through Mr. Carpenter.
Mr. Carpenter’s article is marked
copyrighted. Surely you have too high
a respect tor the great cause you should
represent as editor of a great paper sup-
ported by all classes of our people, a
great mass of artisans, business men and
professionals—in fact, laborers and
thinkers in all walks of life, to publish
such unless to expose its onesidedness
and have it shown up in its true light.
Doubtless you fully realize the res-
ponsibility of your position as counsel-
lor, advisor and leader of trusting, con-
fidin g thousands and seek truth and jus-
t ce as your guide. Theoretically' we
must make the same concessions to Mr.
Carpenter, Mr. Parry, the labor and
capitalistic organizations, but are forced
to deal with facts as presented by eon-'
ditions.
What does Mr. Parry represent? An
organization of more than 3000 manu-
facturers representing capital running
into billions. That, according to his
logic, should be separate, individual
competing concerns. He represents a
few thousands, not striving for necessary
clothing and daily bread, but controlling
untold wealth and striving to heap up
more, that they or their posterity may
roll in luxury and wealth.
The tendency, if not the abject, is for
a few to .be taken out of competition
with the many in all the walks of life,
to have fixed and certain incomes and
accretions of wealth ; the dead to con-
trol and govern the living.
On the other side, the millions are
represented by human beings, not dol-
lars. These human beings are striving
for necessary raiment and daily bread,
for homes and perhaps something for a
rainy day.
Who were the first to organize? Who
ulous and confiding. The more inclined
to bear wrong than try to redress it.
Let Mr. Parry not forget that the hon-
est, confiding man never objects to
being watched, for therein his reputa-
tion lies
if Mr. Parry’s version of the boycott
and 5 per cent gift is correct, it only j
shows how ridiculous even intelligent I
men may act, and as he and those he ।
