when he passed out the mail, but
"a Luther Wilkins did not notice.
He was trying to remember whether it

He went out of the postotfice still
pondering and ended by forgetting both
articles, his attention being diverted by
the sight of two boys playing marbles
on the sidewalks. This was the first
sign of spring Luther had seen, so it
was no wonder that his memory played
him false.
After he had got home and had eaten
his supper he thought of the mail in his
overcoat pocket. He brought it to the
table and sat down TO examine II. There
was the weekly county paper poul-

and last of all a letter.

it would make her feel better, and it
gave me chance to see her, too"
He found that 1t was an easy matter
to invent excuses for seeing her, and

asked her, in fear and trembling, If she

That our union meetings are what
we make them, is as true as gospel
We cah make them interesting, lively,
and profitable with large attendance
by the discussion of questions in which
labor is interested, or we can make
them uninteresting, disagreeable, with
small attendance, by being Indifferent
and lukeWarm. If the existence of
conditions from which labor suffers are
to be removed, labor must remove
them. If the problems from which
labor suffers are to be solved, labor
must solve them. The union meetings
are the proper places to discuss the
question affecting labor, and these
questions must be thoroughly discussed
before a just and intelligent solution is
possible. 5=.#

Labor Day.

Labor Day is fast taking its place
among the leading holidays Of the
year. Even today, there is none that
is so we'll observed, probably, because
it is cared for by a we'll organized
body. Labor Day doesnot belong to
the members Of organized labor alone
true, they see that it is properly OBJ
served, but it is the laborers' day, the
unorganized as we'll as the organized
Let us all make the most Of it.
Let it be not wholly a day of recrea-
ton and rest, and monopolized only
by parades, sports and games. It was
given birth for something better. Let
it teach the worker the necessity of or
ganization. Let it tell the worker that
the trade union movement means more
than an effort for shorter hours and
higher wages, that with closer unity
of workers and by a concentrated ac-
ton can be secured, better homes, a
higher education and civilization.
May it teach the isolated unionists
that little can be gained for all by
working alone, but by a closer affilia-
ton Of all unions can the greatest
good for the greatest number be Sc
cured.
Labor Day destroyes craft jealousies
and encourages a closer unity between
the humblest laborer and the proudest
mechanic, whose interests are IDENTICAL
All hail Labor Day. May it teach
all labor how to obtain 4he grestest
resultant benefits along the lines of
the least cost and the least sacrifice.

The balance of the officers will be

Last. Saturday, at Gen.! Idaho, an
other outrage was Eerpetrated against
the Miners union, under the author
tiles of 1.-The powers that be-" Says the
SeamenS' Journal. It appears that the
state of Idaho has prohibited the
miners from holding meetings in the
Occur dAlene district, but meetings of
the union miners are held Just the
same, and it was at one Of these meet
ings that. Samuel Findlay, Il State De-
putty, broke in the door, walked up to
the secretary's desk ana proceeded TO
take charge of the records and papers
of the union. The deputy, we are told,
is a powerful man of six feet and two
inches, weighing 254 pounds, and on
the secretary demonstrating, he was
promptly assaulted by this man Find
lay, who managed to get possession of
the papers and books, and in the melee
made his escape. There were only 20
men present at the meeting but the
incident has created the most intense
excitement. Talk about Russia, why,
nothing in the annals of Russian .ty-
ranny can be compared with this act
And all done under cover of law. We
wonder if the authorities of the state
of Idaho would forcibly dispense a
gathering of the directors of a corpor-
alton while they are engaged in dis
cussing means and methods of plumb
reing the people? We throw not. But
| when Workmen gather in a fraternal
and protective association for their
| mutual benefit and advancement it is
otherwise, at least in Idaho. The state
is fast earning the sobriquet of a kind
of American Siberia. No, the word is
too weak. No act of the constituted
authorities in Idaho have gone as far
as this one in breaking up a meeting of
| laboring men in a time of profound
peace and tranquility. It seems that
in Idaho working people have no rights
| that the constituted authorities are
bound to respect, and that the principle
of peaceful association, at least as ap-
piled to WOrkingmen, finds no recog-
milton. This is imperious Imperialism
with a vengeance, and imperious Idaho
| is it's exponent. Unless the thing is
nipped in the bud, how Tong will it be
before other states will do likewise and
workingmen's associations and unions
broken up by virtue of law, and with
force of arms, if need be, all over this
Land of the brave and home of the
free?" How long?
