CRAW FORDS VILLE, INDIANA. SATURDAY, AUGUST

Labor Question Affirmative Relief. lieforo concluding our essay it might bo jjro])r to make some suggestions as I to what legislation is necessary to put the plan of arbitration into practical operation. J1 is apparent that at the art tho remedy can apply to only certain special cases. For instance where the business is conducted by corporations and is of public character and where the employees are numerous and constitute a large portion of the community as is commonly the case in mining, manufacturing and transportation companies.

his class of corporations

in the 1 st few ye.irs have found it their interest as well as gratifying their ambition to aggregate vast masses of capital and large amounts of personal interest and place them under the control of a single directory. In many cases assuming to control the whole of a certain class of productions. This tendency to monopolize is inimical to the balance of society who are not organized for protection. Whatever the monopolist gains is that much loss to the balance. lie not only breaks down his competitors in the market where he sells product, but he also reduces the labor market to absolute subjection. There is no one to compete with him a-.d when he says that he is p.iying the market price for labor. He is only paying the price that he has himself established. I his is the great reason why legislation must interfere in cases where it le used to be silent. The corporations that have entered the trust need not. expect their victims will stand by and complacently witness them enjoying the spoils of their greed and avarice. Indeed it is a matter of wonder why a people so jeolous of their liberty could endure and even build up a condition of affairs when a body of people sufficient to populate a large''city should be absolutely dependent upon a large corporation for their daily breadover which they have no control whatever. This condition is more anomolous than was the prevalence of the Feu ial system in the darker ages of of the world's history. Hence it is that strikes are in the nature of a rebellion, a declaratio of war between organized forces in which the appeal is to force and military power rather than the civil tribunals. It seems now that capital by lmans of corpirations and organizations are determined to dominate over labor and all the means of producing tho necessaries and comforts of life. Nothing can re^i-it them but jrce The only question is shall the force be exercised physically in the way of war and recrimination or shall it be exercised in tho forces provided by government by enacting and enforcing just and wholesome laws that will insure to each individual all the rights that governments were organized to secure. Suppose that it be provided that the judge of each circuit court upon petition shall appoint some discrete man who shall be known as labor commissioner for the circuit and that where a certain number of men have a grievance whether tbey be employers or employes and shall state their complaint to the commissioner in the form of a petition asking that arbitrators bo selected to determine the rights of tho parties. That the commissioner shall fix a time and place for hearing, and a board of arbitration shall bo selected by the parties of which tho commissioner shall bo the president. And such board shall proceed to hear such cause according to the rules of law in such cases and shall make their finding of facts in the case and shall, as a court of equity, make their conclusions of the law in the case founded upon tho rules of fair dealing and justice, equity and good conscience. Such conclusions of law shall stand as determining the rights of the parties and be enforceable unless appealed from to tho circuit court in which case the cause shall be heard and determined by tho judge upon the finding of facts according to the same rules of equity presented for the arbitrators and further appeal may be had to the supremo court. Of course it will bo much more competent for the legislature to prescribe the modes of proceedure after a full discussion and after the matter has been canvassed before people than it can now bo done. In the present campaign why should not the matter be discussed, and candidates for the legislature called upon to give their views to the public. It has been twen. ty years in agitation—certainly time enough to have our minds made up. It would be better to settle the matter at the husting than bo at the experse of keeping up a standing amy, ready to suppress any threatened outbreak. In the present war it is the boast of the

Pennsylvania troops that they are so thoroughly drilled and inured to war as

be equal to the regular army. There has been so many labor strikes in Pennsylvania

the last few years that the

State troops have become

thoroughly

used to a state of war. It is high time that this public scandal was abated. And what we have written is to call the attention of the public to the necessity for action.

POPULISTS

Mi-.nr.

Pass Resolutions and Nominate a

Full County Ticket.

About twenty-five Populists of Montgomery county met in the large court room last Saturday afternoon and a ticket iu tho Held to be voted for next November. T. E. Ballard was chosen chairman and Milton LoHanJ secretary.

The following ticket, was nominated by acclamation: Representative—Solomon. Clore.

Commissioner, third district-John Ammerman. The committee on resolutions made tho following report which was unanimously adopted "We, your committee on resolutions, beg to submit the following: "KKSOLVED, That we, tho'People's Party of Montgomery county, in convention assembled, declare again our unqualified adherence to the Omaha and St. Louis platforms as the charts to guide Populiste. "We most heartily endorse the Indiana =ta'e platform and pledge our state ticket our hearty support. "\e hereby emphasize our demand for the initiative and referendum with tho imperative mundade and our advocacy of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of lfi to 1 and our most unqualified condemnation ol a redeemable currency, All money should be a full le.'al tender aud such money needs no redeemer. "Inasmuch as Joseph U. Cheadle, who was nominated at the Populist congressional convention at Frankl'ort on April 12 last, refuse 1 to accept the nomination by accepting the nomination of our ancient and persistent foe, tho Democratic party, and permitted his name to be placed under the the Democratic name ami emblem, and insulted our people by denouncing usassell outs and and the hired men of plutocracy therefore, we believe that as vacancy -eiiists on our congressional ticket, which vacancy, wo believe, should be lilled, and wo urge our congressional committee to take immediate steps to lili sueii place. We. furthermore, recommend Alonzo G. Burkhart, of Tipton, for such position. '•We hereby instruct the county central comrinttee thatshoull any vacancy occur on our county ticket which we name to-day that they immediatly fill such vacancy, to the end that we have a full county ticket to vote for next November without any fusion with, anyother party. "All of which is respectfully submitted. WILMS JACKSON, V,'••• •SOLO.MAN CLOUT.,

MARTIN Iliciis, Committee."

Ine convention adopted the plow and hammer as their emblem. At the conclusion of the nomination the convention was addressed by Mr. Motsinger, of Shoals, and Editor Walters, of the Jtossville Journal, and chairman George of the Clinton county populists central committee.

•V Local Political Points.

--A number of candidates made themselves known at the o'd soldiers' reunion at, Ladoga, this week.

—The candidates M'or county ofllc will not, generally speaking,Jbegin the campaign until after the fair, when the voters will have time to listen to them. lilghman Ballard (announces himself as a populist. Hennas now gone the rounds of near all political parties, yet in all his travels has failed to secure an office.

lhe absence of "Ad.'' Hanna, one of the big guns of the populists, from their convention, on Saturday, was noted. Can anybody tell "what's the matter with Hanna?''

fc lannigan, the populist candidate for auditor, must be an excellent

for fill in. He has been, wejbelieve, on about every ticket nominated by his party for the past six or eight years.

Some one has remarked that Frank Maxwell has a sure thing for a deputyship in office in the event of either the election of White for auditor or O'Neal for treasurer, the latter gentleman bring a cousin of his,

—For commissioner in the first district it known that many republicans of Walnut township will support O. M. Eddiot-field. He was trustee four years in thai township, niado an excellent record, and is strictly non-partizan in businer.s matters.

Both candidates for sheriff on the democratic and republican tickets are old school teachers, Ilu'.tz teaching up to the close of last spring. Lirgant, the populist candidate, was never a school teacher, in fact his party don't need any educatioual qualifications,

Some of the republicans about Darlington are aggrivated at J!i!ly Reeves, candidate lor prosecuting attorney, who, it is said, has promised a man named Cave the position of a deputy for Franklin township, in the event of his election, Cave being somewhat unpopular with the people in th it. part of the country. Reeves is not the lirst candidate for otlice guilty of making rash promises and who has jjliveri to regret it.

Fair Directors Meeting.

At a meeting of the fair ^directors last Saturday morning W. W. Morgan was appointed chairman of the committee on music with instructions to secure a good band for the "only." 1 he committee, as Mr. Morgan Fays, is now open for bids. Asher Wert was given charge of the police department and will make liis vn selection of deputies. A committee was chosen to huut up some spccial attraction for the fair, while another committee was selected to loo'c after the collection of money for licenses from the various shows which will bo upon the ground. It was claimed by some present that heretofore these shows had been paying the customary license with complimentary tickets instead of coin. It in coin the association wants hence the appointment of this committee. All present reported that the pr ispects for a big fair were most flattering.

Liberal Gifts.

J. W. Kirkpatrick, of Ivirkpatrick .Station, telephoned over here for Sam Martin to come over as he wanted to transfer a portion of his land to his three children. Accordingly Sainjtook V. E, Craig as a notary andjwent out Tuesday morning and made each child happy in tho posession of a good farm worth some ten thousand dollars each. The old gentleman retainedono (thousand acres as a nest egg for himself.— Darlington Echo,

Chairs for K. of St. J. Hall.

tie Knights of St. John have ordered eight dozen chairs for their hall in the Ramsey block from the Marion Chair Co., but will not occupy the hall for some weeks yet.

A Twentieth Century Train Electric lighted throughout (including lights at the head Jof each berth), the North-WesternJ Limited, which leaves Chicago daily at 0:30 p. m., and reaches St. Paul and Minneapolis early nest morning, is regarded by tho traveling public as tho highest development in railway science. This train is equipped with buffet, smoking gand library cars, regular and compartment sleeping cars, and luxurious dinning cars.

The principal summer resorts in Wisconsin are most easily reached via the Chicago & North-Western Railway, "the pioneer line west and northwest of Chicago."
