Show UTILIZING FAT THE Increased Price of Elk Teeth “During the last five years the value elk teeth has more than trebled" said a western traveler at the Frederic according to the St Paul Dispatch “In 1901 you could get any number of fine specimens In Idaho Montana Washington and bordering states for 250 apiece Now you will pay from $750 to $10 and they are hard to get for even that The Apache Sioux Comanche and Chippewa Indians used to have dozens of them in their possession and traded them for But the redskin got wise to trinkets their value and you can buy them from a regular dealer cheaper now than from the Indian The passing of the elk and the great demand made by the members of the Elk lodge for teeth for emblems have boosted the of EXCESS OF OF MEAT MUCH CAN BE MADE VALUE of German Housewives Might Profitably Be Copied — of loned Method Properly Clarifying the Fat Method Fats that are derived from the cooking of bacon ham chicken beef and other meats should he kept each in its own receptacle to be used for different purposes Home rendering of both suet and leaf lard has Its advantages because the product is generally superior to what can be bought for the same price Both suet and leaf lard require in order to loosen the fat cooking that membrane from the tougher holds it For this purpose the material is cut in small pieces and covcook ered with water and allowed to slowly for some time until no more water remains and the scrap has turned ' to a light brown A better method for suet is that who used by German housewives economize on butter by the use of beef fat more than do American house- The suet is cut in small keepers pieces and covered with water in which it is allowed to soak for a day the water being changed once In the time It is then drained and put into an iron kettle with teacup of skim milk to every pound of the suet It should be cooked very slowly until the sound of boiling entirely ceases When it has partly cooled It should be carefully poured off This fat has no unpleasant taste or odor and In many recipes may be substituted for Some cooks add a part of the butter pound of leaf lard to four or five of the suet this makes a softer fat as lard has a lower melting point than beef fatAn method of clarifylng fat from the soup kettle or from cooked meats so that it may be used in the kitchen Is to add the cold fat to a liberal quantity of cold water then heat slowly and let cook for an hour or more When cold the cake of fat is removed and the lower portion which will contain the small particles of meat etc should be scraped away If and the white clean fat saved the flavor or color or both are not satisfactory the process may be repeated several times Another method which Is often recommended is to cook a number of slices

It’s an old trick of the leMers of the Labor Trust to twist facts hnd make the “sympathetic ones” "weep at the Ice house” (That’s part of the tale further on) Gompers et al sneer at spit upon and defy our courts seeking sympathy by falsely telling the people the courts were trying to deprive them of free speech and free press Men can speak freely and print opinions freely In this country and no court will object but they cannot he allowed to print matter as part of a criminal conspiracy to injure and ruin other citizens Gompers and his trust associates started out to ruin the Bucks Stove Co drive Its hundreds of workmen out of work and destroy the value of the plant without regard to the fact that hard earned money of men who worked had been Invested there The conspirators were told by the courts to stop these vicious “trust” methods '(efforts to break the firm that won’t come under trust rule) but instead of stopping they "dare” the courts to punish them and demand new laws to protect them In such destructive and tyrannical acts as they The reason may desire to do Gompers and his band persisted In trying to ruin the Bucks Stove Works was because the stove company Insisted on the right to keep some old employees at work when "de union” ordered them discharged and some of “de gang" put on Now let us reverse the conditions and have a look Suppose the company had ordered the union to dismiss certain men from their union and the demand being rea boycott fused should Institute against that union publish its name in an “unfair list” instruct other manufacturers all over the United States not to buy the labor of that union have committees call at stores and threaten to boycott if the merchants 6old anything made by that union Picket the factories where members work and slug them on the way home blow up their houses and wreck the works and even murder a few members of the boycotted union to teach taem they must obey the orders of “organized Capital?” It would certainly be fair for the company to do these things If lawful for the Labor Trust to do them In such a case under our laws the boycotted union could apply to our courts and the courts would order the company to cease boycotting and trying to ruin these union men Suppose thereupon the company should sneer at the court and in open defiance continue the unlawful acts in a persistent carefully laid out plan purposely Intended to ruin the union and force its members into poverty What a howl would go up from the union demanding that the courts protect them and punish their Then they would oppressors praise the courts and gp on earning a living protected from ruin and happy In the knowledge that the people’s courts could del end them How could any u£ us receive protecunless the courts tion from have power to and do punish such men? in is The court position where placed It must do one thing or the other— punish men who persist in defying its peace orders or go out of service let anarchy reign and the more powerful destroy the weaker Peaceful citizens sustain the courts as their defenders whereas thieves forgers burglars crooks of all kinds and violent members of labor unions hate them and threaten violence if their members are punished for breaking the law They want the courts to let them go free and at the same time demand punishment for other men “outside de union” when they break the Notice the above referlaw ence to “violent” members of labor The great majority of the unions “unheard” union men are peaceable upright citizens "The noisy violent ones get Into office and the leaders of the great Labor Trust know how to mass this kind of men In labor conventions and thus carry out the leaders’ schemes frequently abhorrent to the rank and file: so it was at the late Toronto convention The paid delegates would applaud and “resolute” as Gompers wanted but now and then some of the real workingmen insist on being heard sometimes at the risk of their lives Delegate Egan is reported to have said at the Toronto convention “If the officers of the federation would only adhere to the law we would think a lot more of them” The Grand Council of the Provincial Workingmen’s Ass’n of Canada has declared in favor of severing all connections with unions in the U S saying “any union having Its seat of Gov’t In America and pretending to be international In its scope must fight Industrial battles according to American methods Said methods have consequences which are abhorrent to the people of Canada involving and hunger misery riot bloodshed murder all of which might be termed as a result of the practical war now In progress in our fair provinces and directed by foreign emissaries of the United Miners of America” That is an honest Canadian view of our infamous “Labor Trust” A few days ago the daily papers printed the following: (By the Associated Press)) Washington D C Nov 10 — Characterizing the attitude of Samuel Gompers John Mitchell and Frank Morrison bf the American Federation of Labor in the contempt proceedings in the courts of the District of Columbia in connection with the Bucks’ Stove and range company as “a willful premeditated violation of the law” Simon Burns general master workman of the general assembly Knights of Labor has voiced a severe condemnation of Mr Burns exthese three leaders pressed his confidence In courts In general and in those of the District of Columbia In particular APPROVED BY DELEGATES This rebuke by Burns was in his annual report to the general assembly of his organization He received the hearty approval of the delegates who heard It read at their annual meeting in this city “There Is no trust or combination of capital In the world” said Mr Burns “that violates laws oftener than do the trust labor organizations which resort to more dishonest unfair and dishonorable methods toward their competitors than any trust or combinations in the country" Mr Burns said the action of “these leaders” would be harmful for years to come whenever attempts were made to obtain labor legislation “The Labor Digest” a reputable workingman’s paper says as part of an article entitled “The beginning of the end of Gompersism many organizations becoming tired of the policies which have been enforced by the president of the A F' of L” “That he has maintained his leadership for so long a time In the face of his stubborn clinging to policies which the more thoughtful workingmen have seen for years must be abandoned has been on account partly of the sentimental feeling on the part of the organizations that he ought not to be deposed and the unwillingness of the men who were mentioned for the place to accept a nomination In opposition to him In addition to this there Is no denying the shrewdness of the leader of the A F of L and his political sagacity which has enabled him to keep a firm grip on the machinery of the organization and to have his faithful henchmen in the positions where they could do him the most good whenever their services might be needed AFirther than this he has never failed at the last conventions to have tome sensation to spring on the convention at the psychological moment which would place him In the light of a martyr to the cause of unionism and excite a wave of sympathetic enthusiasm for him which would carry the delegates oft their feet and result in his “That his long leadership and this apparent Impossibility to fill his place has gone to his head and made him Imagine that he is much greater a man than he really is Is undoubtedly the case and accounts for the tactics he has adopted In dealing with questions before congress where he has unnecessarily antagonized men to whom orlabor must look for recogniganized tion of their demands and where labor measures are often opposed on account of this very antagonism which would otherwise receive support “There is no doubt' but what organized labor in this country would be much stronger with a leader who was more in touch with conditions as they actually exist and who would bring to the front the new policies which organized labor must adopt If It expects to even maintain Its present standing to say nothing of making future progress” We quote portions of another article a reprint from the same labor paper: “Organized labor through its leaders must recognize the mistakes of the past if they expect to perpetuate their organizations or to develop the movement which they head No movement no organization no nation can develop the intellects which guide beyond these organizations and if the leaders are dominated by a selfish motive the organization will become tinged with a spirit of selfishness which has never appealed t mankind In any walk of life at any time since history began “It cata be said in extenuation of certain leaders of organized labor that the precarious position which they occupy as leaders has had a tendency to cause them to lose sight of the object behind the organization' tThe natural Instinct in man for power and position is in no small measure responsible for the mistakes of the leaders not necessarily In labor unions alone but in This desire every branch of society for power and leadership and personal aggrandizement causes men who have been earnest and sincere in their efforts In the start to deteriorate into mere politicians whose every act and utterance is tinged with the desire to cater to the baser passions of the working majority in the societies or organizations and this Is undoubtedly true when applied to tue present leaders of the Federation of Labor We mention the Federation of Labor in this article because that organization Is the only organization of labor which has yet found itself in direct opposition to the laws of the land There are other organizations of labor whose leaders have made mistakes but they have alwiys kept themselves and their organizations within the bounds of the law and respected the rights of every other man In considering the rights of themselves and their constituency whereas the motto of the Federation is just the reverse and unless the leaders conform themselves and their organization in accordance with the laws of the land the leaders and the organization Itself must be disintegrated and pass Into history for In America the common sense of mankind is developed to a greater extent than in any other nation on the earth and the people who are the court of last resort in this country will never allow any system to develop In this country which does not meet with the approval of the majority of the citizens of the country “This must have forced Itself upon the leaders of the Federation by this time If It has not the leaders must be eliminated The organization which they head has done many meritorious things in times past and the people are always ready and willing to acknowledge the benefits which their efforts have brought to their constituency as a whole but at the present time labor organizations In general and the Federation of Labor In particular stand before the bar of public opinion having been convicted of selfishness and a disposition to rule all the people of the country In the Interest of the few The people are patient and awaiting to X see if thd object lesson which they have been forced to give to these leaders Is going to be recognized and If they are going to conform themselves and their future work and actions In accordance thereto” Let the people remember that com- ment “The Federation of Labor In particular stands before the bar of public opinion having been convicted of and a disposition to rule all the people of the country In the interest of the few” ' The great 90 per cent of Americans do hot take kindly to the acts of tyranny of these trust leaders openly demanding that all people bow down to the rules of the Labor Trust and we are treated to the humiliating spectacle of our Congress and even the Chief Executive entertaining these convicted and listening with consideration to their Insolent demands that the very laws be changed to allow them to safely carry on their plan of gaining control oveT the affairs of the people The sturdy workers of America have come to know the truth about these “martyrs sacrificing themselves in the noble cause of labor” but It’s only the hysterical ones jvho swell up and cry over the aforesaid “heroes” reminding one of the two romantic elderly maids who weeping copiously were discovered by the old janitor at Mt Vernon “What Is It ails you ladles?” Taking the handkerchief from one swollen red eye between sobs she said: “Why we have so long revered the memory of George Washington that we feel It a privilege to come here and weep at his tomb’ “Yas’m yas’m yo’ shore has a desire to express yo’ sympathy but yo’ are overflowin’ at de wrong spot yo’ is weepin’ at de Ice house” Don’t get maudlin about who must be punished If the very existence of our people Is to be maintained If you have any surplus sympathy It can be extended to the honest workers who continue to earn food when threatened and are frequently hurt and sometimes killed before the courts can intervene to protect them Now the Labor Trust leaders demand of Congress that the courts be stripped of power to issue injunctions to prevent them from assaulting or perhaps murdering men who dare earn a living when ordered by the Labor Trust to quit work Don’t “weep at the Ice House” and dov’t permit any set of to bully our courts If your voice’ and vote can prevent Be sure and write your Representatives and Senators In Congress asking them not to vote for any measure to prevent the courts from protecting homes property and persons from attack by paid agents of this great Labor Trust Let every reader write and writ now- Don’t sit silent and allow the organized and paid men of this great trust to force Congress to believe they represent the great masses of the American people Say your say and let your representatives In Congress know that you do not want to be governed under new laws which would empower the Labor Trust leaders with legal right to tell you when to work Where! For whom! At what price! What to buy! What not to buy! Whom to vote for! How much you shall pay per month in fees to the Labor Trust! etc etc etc ' This power Is now being demanded by the passage of laws In Congress Tell your Senators and Representatives plainly that you don’t want them to vote for any measure that will allow any set of men either representing Capital or Labor to govern and dictate to the common people who prefer to be free to go and come work or not and vote for whom they please Every man’s liberty will disappear when the leaders of the great Labor Trust or any other trust can ride rough shod over people and mass their forces to prevent our courts from affording protection “There’s a Reason” C W POST Battle Creek Mich It ‘ |
