ties have been In great measure removed, and
j call on all members to assist In suppTeshinR
from the public the business ana dolngs OF our
association, Let .us be on the alert and ready
atall times 10 stand by our ASSOCIATION,
NECESSITIES FOR SUCCESS.
Our trials are by no means over yet, but " we
study 10 be strong, and Rt the same time just
and fair, we will bo able TO overcome them oil.
Let us strictly adhere 10 the true principle
OF unionIsm. the only solution on the
great labor problem. To be found not
In the plans that have been suggested by the
wonld-be philosophers. Men reason ana plan
and suggest means whereby the great wrong al
inequality In a distribution OF Gods free
bounties may be abolished. Single tax, Gov.
ornment ownership. socialism, anarchy-plans
and plans are suggested, some or which may be
practical as means and others, such as anarchy
rightly understood may be desirable as an end,
yet each In itself considered, or considered
altogether, it is easily seen that ~ put into
operation without frst reducing men, things
and conditions TO that state OF harmony that
would be necessary TO continued successful
operation, while they might keep the word OF
promise 20 the ear" they would break Il TO
the hope" and the outcome would be retro
gression back to slavery and barbarism.
Where, then, you say, is the solution OF this
ailimportant problem? want 10 say that with
ulations of wiseacres they are almost as far
from It as ever. While l.. A. 800 has proven that
organization, rightly directed and operated,
Dy anu pOl'
icy will conduce to the desired end, we have so
far advanced to this end as to ne able to meet
our employers on an equal business footing,
and discuss with freedom and candOr the IS
sues that arise between us-and this with their
hearty consent.
AS HE LOOKS AT IT.
In fact, this is true to the extent that the
standing and stability Of manufacturers may
almost be accurately determined by the degree
of respect they have for our organization and its
rules. May we hope that these principles may
become infused into the minds and practices OF
workers and employers, and inculcated into
labor organizations and capital organizations
that In time all the brain power. all the Drawn
power, all the money power and all the skill
power may be brought into united. concerted
action, working as mighty engine, extracting
the good things of the world from the hidden
store for the use of the whole race.
What is to bring all this about? l answer,
organization. rightly directed. What is the rule,
the operation of which is to bring this
aDoutP refer you to the God Of order. to the
Being who created and rules the universe.
What then, is the rule He has laid down for
the direction of the activities of the race. IL
is plain and simple. do We unto others as
We would that Others should do unto you,"
This is the rule that will accomplish the end
and until it is recognized as the rule of action
The nearer we get to a successful operation of
his rule, the nearer we will approach the acme
VI civilization, and the nearer will we come to
realize the poets dream:
when the war drum throbs no longer
And the battle flags are furled.
In the parliament of man,
The federation Of the world.
