Have you learned yet the lesson that
science has so multiplied the productive
energy of man and nature that the
human race can be fed, clothed and
sheltered in comfort by the labor of
constantly decreasing ratio of the
earth's population? That is the most
tremendous. most thOught-begetting
fact of modern times Here is the
truth that cannot be denied or evaded:
"Men hunger with fairness around
them" With ample food and clothing
in the world, as result of contem-
porary laboI-as surely as there is am-

are unable to buy what they make.
Debs addressed an assemblage of
A. r. o. men at Labor ball Friday
afternoon last on the question Of organ
ization, demonstrating to them the need
and the advantage of ''gettlng together"
instead of disintegrating. He made an
impassoned and logical talk, which
resulted in arousing the enthusiasm and
interest of many who lately have been
inclined to think that a ''do-nothing"
policy was the best for the present. His
visit will undoubtedly result in encour-
agement and activity in A. K. U. ranks.
After the adjournment of the meeting
it was interesting to watch the mani
festations of loyalty and esteem dis
played by those present, many of whom
had previously met the president. And
in the reception of the kindly words
and hearty handshakes one phase of the
success of this man as leader
was plainly visible. Notwith-
standing the fact that scores pre-
scented themselves whom he had
not seen since last spring he remem-
bsred their faces, their names ana some
incident or other of their previous meet
ing. His CHEEKY smile. his hearty greet
ing. his encouraging and timely words
made each man feel that the contact
was something more than formal ex-
change of compliments. His ready ref
erence to experiences. occupation or III
cident made each one feel that the re-
newal was personal and sincere. And
those whom he met for the first time
were impresSedWith his strong personal
magnetism, his affable manners and
evident honesty of purpose. A man
possessed of the mental attachments of
Eugene V. Debs. and interested in the
cause OF the great common people as he
is, Is bound to be an important factor in
our industrial history.
Pope Leo Kill, in his encyclical on
labor, says: The elements of conflict
today are unmistakable. The growth
OF industry and the surprising discoy-
cries of science; the changed relations
of employers and workmen; the enor-
nous fortunes of individuals, the pow
erty of the masses and the general
moral deterioration. cause great fear to
every honest and thoughtful man. The
momentous seriousness of the present
state of things fills every mind with
painful apprehension. All
agree that there can be no question
whatever that some remedy must be
found for the misery and Indebtedness
which press SO heavily at this moment
on the large majority Of the very poor,
due to the concentration of so many
branches Of trade in the hands of
few individuals, so that a small NUN Der
Of the rich have been able to lay upon
the masses of the poor yoke which is
little better than slavery ITSELF"
A call is issued for rally of A. R. U.
men at Labor hall, Thursday evening,
Jan. II. TO take up the question OF
stimulating organization. Every rail
road man. be he of high or low degree,
is invited to be present to lend help
ing hand to himself as we'll as to his
fellow workers. The objects to be at
tanned are to infuse new life into the
unions already existing, and to create
new ones where possible.
Pleased as they are with the posses
sion (of land, we seem to I've afraid to
look back TO the means by which it was
acquired as if fearful of some defect in

testament of the dying owner, not car

strictly speaking, there Is no f0unda-

Typographical Union No. 80 meets at

mentS adopted by the last inter
DdLlOHal convention. All In6 PROPOSE
lions were ratified, with the exception
of the one providing for annual sessions
of the International. The local union
majority vote was in favor of biennial
sessions.
The idle rich and the idle poor are
both tax on industry. The idle poor
are the less Objectionable, because their
wants are fewer.
Will you always remain satisfied to do
all the work and allow the other fellows
to make all the laws? Will you always
remain blind to the fact that bankers
and corporations who pay out big money
in elections are not doing it for your
welfare? Will you always remain blind
to the fact that the men who do no USE
full labor get the best things created?
Will you always remain blind to the
fact that while you work others scheme
to rob you of your just return? Will
you always remain blind TO the fact that
it will pay you to read up on politics
and see how the thing is done?
The StereOtypers' union held a very
