THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1901. UNIONS KEEP DOWN AMERICAN & BOYS, SAYS COLONEL IRISH In Speech on “‘Americanism Versus Trades Unionism”’ Distinguished Orator Says Foreigners Are Fast Filling Labor Field AKLAND, Sept. 18.—Colonel John P. Irish addressed a large audi- ence this evening at the ladles’ night of the Unitarian Club on the subject of “Americanism vs. Trades Unionism.” The speaker’s re- marks were frequently applauded. Colo- nel Irish said in part: The American revolution was a movement to create one Government in which personal and property rights would have equal protection of the law. From that time until now it has been believed that the right of every man to follow that it was established in our institutions and that the law would permit no hand to be raised against it. Our institutions permit the free association of citizens for lawful purpose common to the as- by any number of men occupied in the same calling to form & guild or union for the ad- vancement of their mutual interests. Labor unions so formed to shorten hours of labor and and there is no well-founded moral or legal objection to their existence. . Therefore it is a mistake to assume that ob- jection to the illegal and illegitimate use of the power of such unions is opposition to the lawful ana praiseworthy subserve. Trade unfonism is anti-American when it as- sumes powers that are denfed to Government and proposes that mo man shall be permitted | o labor unless he have its license and permis- | sion. The ultimate base of all government is | the power to force submission to it laws. The | assumed right of labor unions to license the | laborer being the assumption of government | over him naturally rests upon force and is car- Tied out by attacks upon the person of the un- licensed laborer who depends upon the laws of his country to protect his right to work. In | its extreme the penalty put upon him by the | licensers of labor is death. In this code of | unionism capital punishment is decreed against any man who works without a union license. | We have sll stood for weeks in the presence of | this assertion of power by union leaders, and | the statistics show in that period over 2000 | attempts to visit capital punishment upon | American citizens for violation of the union | code. These events make it necessary to in- quire what rights they have under the laws | of their country and what means exist for their | enforcement. purposes they may Leaders Usually Foreigners. | It is pleaded by union leaders, walking dele- gates and business agents, most of them for- eigners or Americans only in the second gen. | eration, that labor unions have been the potent | agency'in advancing wages. Upon this premise they base their right to license labor. I deny this premise. The policy of these leaders is to make themselves necessary by inciting strikes secretary of the Carpenters’ “No, wWe don't favor manual training in schools, as it would glve a boy ideas, and ‘Wwe have too many ideas now.”’ The secretary of the Bricklayers' Union sald: “We lieve that the present mannmer of producing mechanics and forelgn immigration is fully cqual to the demand.” Another said: “Americans are not wanted in the trades. If educated they would not obey union orders unless convinced of their wisdom, nor pay as- sessments without an accounting.’ By excluding American apprentices the shops and excluding American boys who learn trades in the trade schools, and claim- ing the right to inflict the death penalty upon non-union workmen, forelgn Influence and power have effectually deprived American youth of its lawful birthright. To the youth of the land we must look for the preservation of the spirit of Americanisi But deprived of their birthright we find thousands of Ameri- can boys confined as incorrigibles in the State reform schools. Idleness has wrought its evil work upon them and they fester in the vices of association, while the ranks of their perse- cutors are recruited by an immigration that takes the places which they should fill. AlL this is done under the pretense that the high wages of this country are caused by th efforts of the union leaders. This I den: had the highest wages in the world when we were colonies of Great Britain and have con- tinued to advance wages as the productivity of lebor has increased by the use of lahor- aiding machinery. Granting that wages have been somewhat advanced by union organiz: tion, that advance has been more than di counted by the economic losses caused by the industrial wars declared by the walking del cates and union leaders. One great establis ment in San Francisco practically closed by the strike of last May was paying $240,000 per month in wages. The loss to its workmen Union wrote: from alore now reaches a million of dollars. A conservative estimate of the loss to Califor- nia by the existing strike Is $20,000,000. As this loss paralyzes trade, Drings want everywhere, its final effect is to injure labor by producing conditions = that makes the demand for it less. Cannot Tolerate Two Governments. The American people cannot tolerate two governments. The laboring man pays his share of taxes to his Government for its pro- tection of his lawful right to labor. But in addition to this he must pay his initiation fees and assessments to a union leader or he is not allowed to earn his bread. It is a sys- bankrupts men and tem of double taxation, and the tax pald to the union is the price of his license to exer- cise a right which the Government guarantees to him.

M.

There were really no idle men.

MADISONVILLE, Ky., Sept. 18.—Early this morning a force of union miners at- | tacked the Poinecke mine here, where a strike has been in progress for some time. The union men opened fire when the guards were least expecting an at- tack and about 500 shots were exchanged, Lut no one was injured. At 6 o'clock this cvening another attack was made. After about 200 shots had been ex- changed the union men retreated. County Judge Hall and Sheriff Hankins have asked Governor Beckham for troops. Warrants have been issued for J. D.

BROCKTON, Mass., Sept. 18.—A switch not properly set brought a passenger ex- press and a heavy freight train together this afternoon, with the resultant death of six passengers on the express train and injuries to twenty-five others on the main line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad at Avon. The ex- press left Boston at 1 p. m., and was run- ning forty miles an hour at the time of the accident. Of the six persons who were killed but four have been identified. These are: EVERETT JOYCE, Brockton. GUSTAVUS HAY JR., lawyer, of Bos- ton. MISS M. W. TUNKIN, aged 18, a stu- dent at Howard Seminary, Bridgewater, daughter of John Tunkin, Oil City, Pa. IOHN LOWELL, real” estate " dealer, oston. The two unidentified bodies are those of women, one elderly and very large in fig- ure. The other unidentified victim was apparently 28 years old, with light hair, evidertly a Swede. “The accldent occurred at the Avon sta- tion, by the side of a high embankment. The express was one minute behind time at Avon at 1:37. A freight train of thirty | cars laden with granite, coal and gravel | had just made up on a siding and was proceeding south in the same direction as the express. Engineer Sheldon of the freight train figured that he had four minutes to spare to get on a sidetrack further down. One of his train crew had set the switch of a ‘‘crossover” in such manner that when the freight went ahead it was turned on to the main track. Englneer Sheldon did not notice the switch quickly enough to enable him to stop his train, and before he realized the express dashed on _the other track. The engine of the express and the bag- gage car succeeded in getting by before the freight engine reached the train, but | the second car of the train, the smoker, was struck squarely In the middle and turned over, being thrown down the steep embankment, landing on its side in mud. The third car of the train, a pas- senger coach, was dragged over by the force of the compact and likewise landed on its side in the ditch. All those who were killed outright seemed to be in the third car, while those injured were in the car which was struck by the engine. NEW VARIETY OF FUEL PLACED ON THE MARKET San Francisco and San Joaquin Coal Company Commences Manufac- ture of Briquets. The San Francisco and San Joaquin Coal Company, the pioneers in the man- ufacture of briquets on the Pacific Coast, placed their new product on the market yesterday. Experiments with a view to perfecting this sort of fuel for domestic use have been going on for a period of more than three years and results haye | proved the judgment of the founders of the enterprise. The briquets are made of a combina- tion of coal and oll, and while the initial expense is about the same as that of or- dizary forms of fuel, the quantity neces- sary to be consumed to secure the same amount of heat is about 50 per cent less. The . plant for the manufacture of the product is located in Stockton and has a capacity of 400 tons daily. All the pro- cesses have been patented and the ou‘- | logk for the venture is most propitious. | | | The enterprise is one which should prove of great value to California, since it opens the way to the domestic use of oil, a goal toward which inventors have long striven but which they have not pre- viously attained. The coal utilized con- sists of screenings and slack, which com- bined with ofl and placed under heavy pressure comes out of the factory in the | | form of small oblate spheroids. { _W. J.
