BucA’i Stove Company Rei pon ti
bie For Publicity.
WORKED
AGAINST
ITSELF.
Rseart to tho Courts and Continuous
Attack! on Organized Labor Kept
the Case Before the Public—A Self
Inflicted Boycott.
If ever there was a self inflicted and
personally conducted boycott it baa
been that engineered by the Van
Cleave Buck’s Stove and Range com
pany against itself. Its hostile, sensa
tional and unjust attacks upon the
wen of labor and their organizations
have supplied the material for keeping
the boycott fresh in the minds of all
purchasers. It has been the action of
the Buck’s Stove and Range company
Itself far more than anything labor
has done which has made this the
most spectacular boycott of our time.
While the Buck’s Stove and Range
company was published on the “We
Don’t Patronize” list of the American
Federatlonist along with a number
of Arms whose relations with organ
ized labor were unfair, yet this firm
attracted no more attention than many
of the others until Mr. Van Cleave,
tnrough bls man Brandenburg and
the Pinkerton and Turner detective
agencies, began a crusade of character
assassination against the men who had
devoted their lives to securing the
rights and liberties of their fellow
men. Mr. Van Cleave being president
of the Buck’s Stove and Range com
pany and also president of the Na
tional Manufacturers' association, all
bls hostile acts took on an intensified
meaning to the men of labor. The real
activity In the boycott began when an
application for an injunction against
the American Federation of Labor to
restrain it from boycotting this firm
followed the personal attacks upon the
men of labor. Then, Indeed, the union
men and their friends from the Atlan
tic to the Pacific sat up and took notice
and remembered the unfair standing
of this flrm when they were buying
goods.
When tlie teni|xirary injunction was
issued prohibiting the exercise of the
right of free press and free speech
and the daily press rang with state
ments of the case in relation to the
Fuck’s Stove and Range company.
then indeed did many people who had
not been concerned with tlie attitude
of labor in any other boycott conclude
that they would not purchase such
goods. Then there were the making
permanent of the temporary injunc
tion and the appeals for funds by tlie
American Federation of Labor with
which to carry the ease to ili g her
courts, the president's report to the
conventions and the actions of two
conventions — all despite the clause
of the original injunction prohibiting
the exercise of free press or free
speech In relation to the Buck’s Stove
and Range company. It was t líese
things which kept the boycott fresh
in the minds of the workers and their
friends and aroused the most Intense
Interest. Every hostile, move of the
company, every action leading to
greater publicity of the ease, increased
the boycott. It must be remembered,
too, that the injunction did not and
does not apply beyond the District of
Columbia.
The labor press of the country and
the official Journals of tlie various
trades felt entirely free to publish tin*
nonunion and hostile status of the
company and to comment freely upon
the original injunction and contempt
proceedings. The Institution au<l p ros
ecutfon of the proceedings for cón-
tempt of the injunction and the sen
tence of Goinpers, Morrison anil
Mitchell to Imprisonment for con
tempt made every union man ti nd
every patriotic citizen realize that.
while constitutional rights are greater
than property rights, a strong effort
was being made to establish the con
trary. By a perfectly understandable
mental process all these happenings
kept before the public the fact that
labor bad a formal boycott against the
Ruck's Stove and Range company;
hence we repeat the Buck’s Stove and
Range company has been the most po
tent agent in fastening upon Itself a
boycott, primary and secondary, be
cause it has assumed that the courts
of the land would bolster up its at
tack upon the workers regardless of
how far it invaded the Inherent and
constitutionally guaranteed rights of
the people.—American Federation 1st.
Labor Pickets Not Illegal.
It is not illegal for a union labor or
ganlzation to picket a place of business
that has been declared ••unfair" if the
picketing Is done In a peaceable man
ner, according to the decision of Judge
Ellsworth, given at Oakland, Cai., In
the case of Joseph Davis, a restaurant
man, aguinst the Cooks and Waiters'
alliance. Because the union posted
two pickets in front of his place of
business the restaurant man declared
that he bad suffered a loss of $250.
The court admitted the loss, but con
tended that. Inasmuch as the union hud
not brought it about by unlawful
mean«, damages could not l>e imposed.

An Amusing History of This Very

a PROGRESSIVE UNION
Succsss
Achieved by the Order
Rwlroad Telegraphers.
•*
One of the organizations of labor
which has made solid progress, eape-
daily during the past few years, is
the Order of Railroad Telegraphers.
In the early days of labor organiza
tions the telegraphers of the country
were not seixirated into two classes of
"railroad" and •’commercial” opera
tors, as at present. When the great
strike of 1883 took place those opera
tors who were organized. whether em
ployed by railroad companies, the
Western Union or otiier concerns,
were members of old District No. 45,
Knights of Labor After that disas
trous strike the telegraphers were
practically whin lit organization until
1886, writes Joseph R. Buchanan in
New York Journal.
The Order of Railroad Telegraphers
was organized at Cedar Rapids, la., in
1886. In 1891 it adopted features
which made it a practical association,
and since then its growth lias been
steady, and it now lias a membership
of over 50,000.
Since 1891 tlie order has obtained
working agreements wltti a majority
of the railway systems in the country,
through which its members have
gained material advances in wagen
and improved working conditions, The
organization also has increased the
average efficiency of operators and
thereby raised the standard of the
railway telegraphic service. In this
way it has done a great service to the
public, for tlie operator plays an Im
portant part in the transportation
business, involving millions of lives
daily and property of almost im
measurable value. Tiie reliable oper
ator must be intelligent, steady and
courageous. These qualities are cul
tivated in Ks members by the Order
of Telegraphers.
About ten years ago the organization
adopted a mutual benefit feature that
has added greatly to its strength anil
been of inestimable service to unfortu
nate members and those dependent
upon them. Since the adoption of this
feature the order has paid to heirs
of deceased members over $470,000,,
and the mutual benefit department
now lias over half a million dollars in
its treasury. Tlie general treasury of
the organization is also In splendid
condition
TRADES UNION'S GOOD WORK
What the Carpenters’ Brotherhood Has
Done For Its Members.
The Brotherhood of Carpenters anil
Joiners was organized In Chicago In
1881, with twelve local unions and
2,042 members It now has 1,917 locals
and over 200,<M)(> members, being sec
ond only to tlie United Mine Workers
in numerical strength, Tl>e objects of
the organization are to discourage
piecework, encourage an apprentice
system and a higher standard of skill,
to cultivate feelings of friendship
among men of the craft, to assist cacti
other to obtain employment, to reduce
tlie hours of daily toll, to secure ade
quate pay for work done, to elevate
the moral, intellectual anil social con
dition of Its members, to improve the
trade anil to furnish aid in eases of
sickness. permanent disability or
death.
The brotherhood pays a wife a fu
neral benefit of $25 to $50, members a
funeral benefit of from $100 to $200
and disability benefit of from $100 to
$400. Since its organization the broth
erhood lias paid out in benefits $4.681,-
469.85, of which $747.073.19 was for
strike and lockout purposes.
The organization has raised wages In
hundreds of cities, and it is said that
fully $11,000,000 more wages go Into
the pockets of carpenters annually be
cause of the efforts of their union. At
tlie same time it lias raised the wages
of nonunion men. It has also rodueed
tlie hours of labor to eight a day in
689 cities anil nine a day in 804 cities,
not to speak of tlie many cities in
which it has established tlie Saturday
half holiday. Ry thus shortening the
workday the brotherhood has furnish
ed work to 30,000 more carpenters.

Curlitusly enough, the table napkin,
now deemed almost indispensable,
was first used only by children and
■was adopted by elder members of the
family only about the middle of the
fifteenth century. In etiquette books
of an earlier date, among other sage
pieces of advice for children, are in
structions about wiping their fingers
and lips with their napkins.
It seems that the tablecloth was
long enough to reach the floor and
served the grown people in place of
napkins. When they did begin to use
napkins they placed them first on the
shoulder, tlieu on the "left arm and
finally tied them about the neck. A
French writer, who evidently was con
servative and did not welcome the
napkin kindly, records with scorn:
“The napkin is placed under the
chin and fastened in the back, as if
one was going to be shaved. A person
told me that he wore ills that way tlial
he might not soil his beautiful frills.”
It was a difficult matter to tie the
two corners in tlie back, and it is said
that thence originated our expression
for straitened circumstances, "Hurd to
make both ends meet.’’ This custom
led to the habit shown by waiters of
carrying a napkin across the left arm.
Napkins became popular in France
sooner than in England. At one time
it was customary at great Frencli din
tiers to change tlie napkins at every
course, to perfume them with rosewa
ter and to have them folded a differ
ent way for every guest.
I
About 1050 Pierre David published
a “Maistre d’Hostel,” which teaches
how to wait on patrons properly and
how to fold all kinds of table napkins
in all kinds of fancy shapes.
The shapes were square, twisted,
folded in bands, in the form of double
and twisted shells, single shell, double
melon, single melon, cock, hen and
chickens, pigeon in the basket, par
trfdge, pheasant, two capons in a pie,
hare, two rabbits, sucking pig. dog
with a collar, pike, carp, turbot, miter,
turkey, tortoise, the holy cross un<l
the Lorraine cross.
A NEW SOCIETY
The Prevention of Cruelty to Parents
Organization.
"I’m going to form a new society—a
society for the prevention of cruelty to
parents,” said a young matron. "Ev
erybody and everything is protected
nowadays—children, horses, dogs, cats,
immigrants but parents aren’t looked
after, They are left to tight their
own battles, And the unkindness of
some children! I lately visited well,
never mind the name, but they’re
young married people, and the hus-
band's ohl father lives with them
He’s a dear old man, but a little slow
and deaf and fussy, as old people have
a right to be. And the way that old
man was poked into corners made me
boil!
"I know a lovable old woman w ho
lives alone, her children four of them
—scattered far and near, pursuing
their own aims and thinking that they
are very filial if they write I heir moth
er once a fortnight. 1 declare, it makes
me admire the wisdom of an old bache
lor I know. Some one pitied him be
cause lie was grow ing old, w it It no
children about him. ’It’s a bit lonely,*
he said philosophically, ’but I’d rather
be childless than to have, like some
people I know, children who go their
own ways and leave their parents
alone in their old age.’ ”
