The INDUSTRIAL WORLD.
A LABOR LYCEUM.
Illinois workipgmen Move Against the
Propagation Of "Isms."

The Illinois Labor Lyceum is the name OF q
new organization that has been launched In
the labor movement. II has an important
mission, according to its projectors, and was
organized only after mature deliberatien
The purposes OF the organization are;
/. To furnish speakers on economic sub
iects; men thoroughly In accord with the trade
union movement; men who have made n
study OF existing conditions, and who are In
terested 10 the abrogation Of Injustice to the
rights OF men.
2. To furnish TO organized labor, at cost
price, such literature as may be deemed bene-
hcial to the labor movement.
The workingmen OF England, France and
Germany have for years employed men to
fight the battles OF organized labor In the
National Parliamen,s and elsewhere. Each
Union contributes a per capita amount TO a
fund that Ia used TO keep organizers Ia the
field who will at all times be ready to do what
ever is requested OF them. In England, Tor

Trade Unionists TO do their work for them In
the London County Council and Ia Parlia.
ment.
When a big strike occurs he Ia expected TO
use the influence gained by his political po-
sttion to bring about settlement. When
ever n union is TO be organized he IL always
at the command OF tho interested parties TO
aid them In their efforts. In Ameries II Is
different. Until trade unions are willing, It
is said to pay salaries commensurate with
the work TO be done. 1t will be hard for them
to secure the entire time Of any labor leader
TO advocate their cause.
For that reason the Labor Lvceum has
been organized. 1t was believed that vigor-
Gus acten should be taken to keep working
men headed toward the eight-hour day move
ment and prevent them from drifting on into
''isms." which, 1t is claimed, promise nothing
but injury 10 the labor movement. Lyceums
will be organized ia every town and city In
the State and good men will be selected AZ
as lecturers to answer any call that may be
made. A state lecturer took tho field about
he middle Of November.
