DUTY OF UNION men
Unite in a Common Cause
Against a Common
Enemy. :.

AAA~aAA y
Labor organizations which
enjoy a union scale of wages
sufficient to provide the neces-
saries and some of the COM
forts of life, should profit by
such conditions and school
their members in all the high
er problems of the labor move
ment. They should learn what
constitute the just claims of
humanity the world over; they
should learn to diagnose the
great social disorders that are
fast becoming epidemic in all
the congested industrial cen
ters Of our country. Too many
of the members of our labor or.
ganizations live only for the
day, with no thought of the
consequences of evil conditions
to which they must sooner or
later fall helpless victims.
Some of them do not foresee
the evils that threaten not only
their wages but their organized
existence as we'll. Let the pro.
cess of concentration and COM.
bination now forming in capi-
talistic centers dominate pro
ductive enterprises as they bid
fair to do, and it requires no
great stretch of foresight to de-
termine the downfall and dis
solution. of every labor organ
ization in the country. y
| Take for example any great
trust that has. grown powerful
enough to dictate the market
price of the raw material at one
end of the line and the market
price of the manufactured arti-
Gle. at the other, and there is
not labor organization in the
country strong enough to en-
croach on the margin of its pro-
fits. Take the operations of
the Standard Oil monopoly as
living evidence of the possibil-
tiles of combination. It not
only pays the lowest possible
rate of wages, but it success
fully gnores and defies every
labor organization in the entire
country and a a5solutely dictates
terms with the. producers of
petroleum and the market
price of refined oil. There is
not a laboring man or busi-
ness man who, if he owned a
thousand oil wells and a mil
,. lion dollar refinery, free from
debt, could put gallon of oil
on the markets of the country
! in opposition to it. It has been
tried time and again, and al
ways resulted in the: bankrupt
cy of the. men who tried it.
Not because there was not a
good profit in the ordinary
market price of oil, but because
the Standard Oil monopoly
was able to meet the indepen-
dent operator in every market
he attempted to enter and al
most give oil away until he was
closed out under the sheriff's
hammer. Let enough of the
staple commodities OF the coun'
try fall into the hands of simi.
lar com binations, to enable con.
trolling trusts to dictate a gen
eral wage rate, and declare pro
fits according to their sordic
desires, and we would not give
the paper on which the char
ters are written for all the labor
organizations in the United
States.
|, A trust need not declare ar
bitrarily a wage rate for the
industry it controls; it needs
only to dictate the market price
of the raw material and wage
rates will conform to it in spite
of labor organizations. The
miner in some of our western

IN MEMORIAM.


Died at Pollock, La, July 81, 1899,
MISS MAGGIE KELLY, aged % years
and 26 days.
1t ia said that those whom the
Gods love die young. This seems to
have been the case with the pure and
lovely Miss Maggie. Just entering
upon the. threshold of a bright and
useful career, she has been cut down
by the icy reaper, and her smless soul
has been waited to that realm of
eternal bliss where sOrruw and sad
ness are never known.
1t was the pleasure Of the writer
who pens this feeble tribute to her
memory, to have known her person
ally for a number of years, and DUR
ing these years we have noticed that
her walk in lie was that of q true
and sincere Christian. Devout to
her church, and loyal to her friends,
she was the embodiment of faithful
child Of God, that none could doubt.
Her death has caused a void in the
family circle that will never he filed.
Her church has lost an earnest and
zeadous worker, and her friends have
lost one whose memory viii ever leave
halo OF brightness in their hearts,
until they are called to go and Join
her on the other shore.
Maggie, thou art gone, but not for
gotten, and as your pure and undefil-
cd spirits backing around the throne
OF God, there are those who are now
weeping over your death, bss, vet re-
joice to know that you are safely at
rest in the arms Of Jesus.
Maggie, friend, with sohr
With wild besrt-pain and threb,
We have left thee to the care
or the angels bright and fair.
Rest on. dear friend. while We wesp.
And you are calmly taking your last
long sleep;
There are those who are left behind,
Whowill join you in the co',rse of time.
