MRS. MARTIN SIDES
WITH STRIKERS
Author of "Tillie, a Mennonite
Maid," Defends Carmen's
Right to Organize
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Does an individual laborer have so
much as a fighting; chance in dealing
with a great and rich corporation?
Can he do aught but accept what is
offered him—on pain of starvation?
That unorganized labor is steadily
forced downward toward want, misery
and degradation is a fact which no
' student of social economy would think
of disputing. Do the capitalists who
fiercely maintain that their employes
shall not organize consider that the in
dustrial conditions which prevailed be
fore the unions came into existence
were ideal?—when the workman was
the living tool of his employer and the
conditions of his existence and that of
his family were so deplorable as to
call forth the "sweet charity" of those
who did not need to labor.
Between the work class and the hu
man selfishness and greed which al
ways tends to exploit, enslave and de
grade them, what barrier can be inter
posed save the organization of the la
borers? Shall the government be
forced to come effectually to their pro
tection? These are American citizens
who must not, and shall not. be put
into vassalage by our industrial sys
tem, but, who have rights; who "know
their rights and, knowing, dare main
tain." "We cannot," says Dr. Wash
ington Gladden, in the Outlook, "af
ford to have any other kind of citizens
in this country." The laborers de
mand industrial, as well as political
freedom—by which they may them
selves have some voice as to the con
ditions and terms of their labor.
It is a shameful state of things that
any American citizen should be afraid
to complain of abuses for fear of his
family's starving! Robert A. Woods,
a student of labor conditions, says that
the average employer of labor who
opposes unions, holds employes guilty
of impiety and deserving of instant dis
missal if they undertake to enforce
their claims in such a way as to em
barrass the momentum of great busi
ness administration. Submission to
such a point of view reduces the labor
ing class to serfdom.
Says Dr. Gladden: "I do not think
that a wise statesmanship will consent
to see the masses of American work
lngmen put in a position like this.
Some way must be found by which
they may keep their liberty and pre
serve their manhood."
Union organization is the only
known means by which they may ob
tain and preserve this power and
avert the degradation of their class.
I have never heard any other way even
suggested. By means of unions they
do maintain their freedom. John
Mitchell said: "Trade unionism has
justified its existence by good works
and high purposes. It has elevated
the standard of living of the Ameri
can workman and conferred upon him
higher wages and more leisure. It has
increased efficiency, diminished acci
dents, averted disease, kept children
at school, raised the moral tone of the
factories."
It is the unions which have forced
modern legislation for the bettering of
labor conditions. The appalling de
terioration of the working classes due
to the unspeakable conditions that ex
isted before the days of unions, has
been arrested, and the life of the la
borer has been greatly improved. Even
Pittsburgh, with all its great extremes
of poverty and wealth, is a paradise
compared to what it was before unions
existed. Students of social science af
firm that the improvement there is due
mainly to the influence of labor organ
ization which has enabled the laborer
to resist oppression and secure for
himself at least some little share of the
wealth which his labor creates and
which could not be created without
him.
Professor Harold Rogers of Oxford,a !
philosophic statesman, declares that so !
great have been the benefits which i
unionism has brought to the laboring j
classes and to the community at large
that if he had the making of the laws !
he would exclude from the franchise
all workingmen who were not mem
bers of trade unions, as he considered 1
them to be obstacles in the way of the
advancement and uplifting of the race.
Surelyj the man who would exter
minate .unions is taking upon himself
a rather heavy and solemn responsi
bility for his fellowmen.

RIOTS MARK N.Y.
TROLLEY STRIKE
More Than 100 People Injured
in Clashes; Police Arrest
Many
By Associated Press
New York, July 28.—The National
Organization of Street Railways Em
ployes to-day continued efforts to
unionize all the motormen and con
ductors of New York city.
After a day marked by rioting and
bloodshed the operation of cars in the
Bronx was suspended at 9 o'clock last
night. The police made nearly 100
arrests yesterday and last night, but
the strike leaders asserted that few of
the men arrested were members of the
union.
It is estimated that more than 100
persons were injured in clashes.
Twenty cars were badly damaged.
No attempt has been made to fasten
on the strikers blame for the fatal ac
cident that occurred in the Bronx late
last night. In this accident a strike
breaker as motorman was killed and
two policemen and three strike guards
employed by the railway company
were hurt. The car jumped the track
and struck an iron pillar and five min
utes later three empty cars in some
mysterious manner rolled down a steep
hill and crashed into the wreckage.

eral degrees than the maximum of the
night before. Later in the morning
a slight breeze arose and appeared to
temper the heat somewhat.
"Deaths, directly due to the heat,
numbered 17 for the 24 hours ending
at 6 o'clock tHis morning."
River Is High
The Susquehanna river has been on
a rampage for twenty-four hours and
put a crimp in boating and swim
ming sports. The water was up to the
seven-foot mark last night at 8
o'clock. To-day at noon the water
had receded seven inches, and was
still falling. It is expected to reach
the five-foot stage by this evening.
The heavy rains have stirred up the
mud and the river besides showing a
strong current is not fit for bathing.
For this reason the municipal bath
houses at Seneca street and those on
McCormick's and Hargest Islands will
be closed for several days.
TRACKMAN'S WIFE
SAVES R.R. HEADS
Runs Mile to Flag Train After
Rig Landslide; Two Presi

Special to the Telegraph
Port Jervls, N. Y., July 28.
| Through the prompt action of Mrs. Al
! Fred Maillett, wife of the Erie section
foreman at Shahola, Pa., a serious
| wreck with probable loss of life was
j avoided.
In the midst of a heavy rainstorm
' she ran from her home a mile along
j the Erie tracks with a red flag and
I halted a special train of four cars
running as a section of a Chicago ex
press and conveying Erie President
Frederick D. Underwood and A. L.
I Kohler, president of the Union Pacific
| Road, from Chicago to New York
City.
About two hundred feet east of the
Maillett home, the mountains along
the track rise to a considerable height
at what is known as Handsome Eddy
Rocks. The severe rain had caused
the earth and stone to loosen and slide
down the steep incline, covering both
tracks for a distance of nearly half a
mile and to a depth of several l'eet.
As soon as she saw what had hap
pened, Mrs. Maillett secured a flag and
ran twards Shohola just as President
| Underwood's special was coming east
on the westbound traexs. The train
was running at a fair speed, as it was
using a track other than its own
I when Engineer George W. Murray
i saw the woman waving the red flag.
| He brought the train to sucn an abrupt
stop that both railroad heads got a
shaking up. Mr. Underwood sent
word to the woman stating she practi
cally had carried out the Erie slogan
of "safety first."

By Associated Press
| Mt. Gretna, Pa., July 2S.—General
j Stillwell has conducted an investiga
j tion with regard to the presence In
i the Third Brigade camp of a quantity
j of bad meat which was refused by the
cooks of a company in the Ninth regi
ment Wednesday. At headquarters it
| was said that fault in the matter does
i not lie here In camp and the blame
; will be placed elsewhere.
Threatening weather hung over the
camp to-day. The troops had antici
pated striking canvas, leaving only
their shelter tent standing, in antici
pation of breaking camp to-morrow.
One of the companies in camp may
see border service. Word of the
transfer of Company F of the Fourth
Infantry on duty at El Paso to the
engineers corps was received in camp
last night and it is possible that a
company from Sunbury, belonging to
the separate battalion will go to El
Paso to take the place of Company F
which joined with Company A of
Scranton and Company B of Phila
delphia, will complete a full battalion
of engineers from this State at the
border.
Adjutant General Stewart was ex
pected at camp to-day ana may give
the final word as to whether the Third
brigade will be turned into an
artillery regiment.

TRAVELETTE
By NIKSAH
MALACCA
Malacca is a sleepy, even-tempered
old town that might be said to medi
| tale over its own past greatness ex-
I cept that it does not seem to be medi
i fating ahout anything at all. Few ships
stop there, few white men live there,
ihe busy neighboring cities of Penang
and Singapore refer to it contemptu
ously as 'Sleepy Hollow." Only the
| Chinaman, always a nhisosopher, who
, likes to spend his declining years lis
tening to the tinkle of wind-bells and
I crazing into some lily-pool, often re
l tires to Malacca when he has made his
fort une.
Why they put Malacca where it is
1 irives the visitor something to specu
late about. There is no visible har
jbor; the city is apparently set down
at random on the curving beach. Long
gravelly shallows extend far out from
shore, making it impossible for ships
of any size to run close in. An old
pier stretches its length far out into
the ocean, like a stiff arm reaching
out for the lost trade, but even the
pier is not much of a help to really big
ships.
Few people land at Malacca. The
I arrival of a stranger on the beach at
' tracts attention c->en from the impres
sive crowd of Malays and nondescript
Orientals who lounge about the shore
end of the old pier. At first, glance
this seems to be a yellow city, for in
all its hundred thousand people there
arc only about a hundred Europeans.
Malacca Is not a city of empty hous
es, because the Malays and the poorer
Chinese have joyfully moved into any
accommodations they found vacant;
but it is distinctly a city where many
i of the houses have seen their best days.
| There is an old cathedral built by the
Portuguese overlooking the city. The
roof has fallon in and tropic insects
scuttle up and the walls. By day
it is given over to dust and ghosts, but
when darkness settles over the waters,
they light a great lafitern in the old
tower, and mariners steer their course
by the nark of the ancient church.
There are two explanations of Mal
acca's present sleepness. The politi
cal economists say that the trade has
gone to Penang and Singapore; but
there are some who will tell you the
story of St. Xavier. That good man,
who worked doughtily for the faith
I in the Orient, tried to convert the peo
| pie of Malacca, but they proved ob
durate. At leaving, the saint shook
i the dust of Malacca from his shoe 3;
land it has never recovered since.

July Building Figures
'Way Behind 1915 Record
Unless city building operations tako
an unusual boost within the next few
days July will go down in the city s
building history as one of the smallest
, months in several years so far as the
| expenditure for new structures is con

I High cost of materials and labor is,
of course, attributed as the cause.
' Building inspection officials hope that
| the month's record may yet be mate
j rially increased by the permits for the
j proposed new Pennsy freight station
in the lower end of the city and the
; Doehne hotel operation at Fourth and
Chestnut streets. These jobs will cost

than July. 1915, when the total outlay
