ADVANTAGES OF UNHONISM.

Some of the advantages of trades
uniOnism are:
Protection from the selfish competi-
ton of laborers for work as individuals,
which would speedily reduce wages to
the subsistence point where the supply
of labor exceeds the demand. This ap-
pears to be the normal state of affairs
under present economic conditions.
A liberal education as to the laborer's
relation to his employer and the business
world, and as to where his wages come
from and how and under what condi-
tions the emploer is able to pay them.
While, on the one hand, through the
lningling Of the counsels of the conser-
vative family man with the foot-loose
radical unreasonable demands upon la
bOr are prevented, on the other side, SER
vile acquiescence in injustice Is unlikely.
Unlonism imposes restraint on the
hoggishness of the selfish and aggres-
slve, and cultivates self-respect in the
careless and indolent.
By forcing the study of economic con-
ditions into his own immediate affairs
II makes the laborer more solicitous as
to the welfare Of the business in which
he may be engaged, and by showing him
the INTERVIEWING of his own condition
with that Of others it makes him stu
dent of social ethics and good citizen.
Subsection to discipline by his organiza-
tlon and seeing and acknowledging the
necessity for 1t he Is tended to become
law-abiding and deaf to anarchistlc the
orles. The sick and death benefits teach
him that he is, to some extent at least,
his brothers keeper and cultivate in him
fraternal feeling.
The employer, knowing the union
scale and that he can contract with a
responsible organization for competent
labor on that basis, is enabled at all
times to make close and correct esti-
mates on the cost Of labor when bidding
for work, and this cannot be done with
unorganized labor.
In conclusion, 1t may be said that in

tian philosophy, trades union--belng

BOYLE HELPS THE MINERS.

which provided that miners should have
all coal brought out OF the mine, which
was accepted by operators weighed be-
fore 1t was screened 1t had been the
practice OF the operators to accept the
result OF the miners work, run the coal
over a coarse screen, and then pay only
for tue lump coal which did not pass
through This law has been persistently
violated by the operators, and the miners
We're robbed TO the value of the coal
which passed through the screen and
was afterward sold. The anti-scrip law
was passed by the last Legislature and
was intended to prevent one of the worst
swindles ever perpetrated on laboring
men. The operators have stores and
pay their employees in scrip or checks
which are redemable at their face value
at the store only, The miner Is COM

there, he is charged exorbitant prices
