Each Member Has a Part to Perfro M.
Do You Perform Yours1
II Decline" is phrase that is often
heard from a member that is nominal
ed for an office in the union, or appoint
cd upon committee. You decline
what?" Do you understand what you
are doing when you pipe out; II de-
cline?" Do you decline serving :, on
some committee that is part of the ma
chinery, decline to help in the good, of
the union? Decline to help your uaion
in the capacity of an executive or ad-
ministrative officer? Decline. to per-
form any duty allotted to you by the
you know that there is not another
member that can do as we'll or better
than you provided you do your duty?
Look at your constitution, look up the
points belonging to your duty in. The
position you have been elected or sap-
pointed to, and is it not your duty to
do whatever you are appointed to do
by your president? O.. -,
Every member has his part to per-
form. Your part then as the true broth
err you profess to be is to do your share
of union work. Come, now, candidly,
haven't you been resting on your oars
long enough? Just because some OF. the
others are doing the work and seem to
like 1t it is no reason why you should
allow or make them do your share or
part of the work too. If you go to
work you will enjoy it as heartily as
they. If you cannot get chance to
help pull the car of progress, then 70
behind and give a long, strong: and
steady push, and ere long you will have
the consciousness of having helped it
on to victory.
When your president announces
Good Of the Union,'be prepared to do
something; do not sit with your hands
folded, feet crossed, and your mouth
closed during the entire meeting: do
not expect to be perpetually fed, for it
Is no ones special duty to see to it that
you are we'll entertained, when you will
not even attempt to do anything: II
you will go to your union meetings. be
prepared to take some some part that
will interest others, you will become in
terested yourself and will not consider
your union meeting dull. .:'s~ -. ;
Under such circumstances they could
not possibly be dull, or grossly to. YOU.
Do not be an iceberg in your union:
FOR you will have most of the icK FOR
your own share. Will you do yo,r
duty? Resolve, then, that YOU WIN
never ask to be excused or decline n
act well your part, unless. you have
very good reasons for declining. 5tH +

what Germany Has Done to aAid SUn.
fortunate knights OF the Road. IS
One Of the most remarkable social
experiments Is now in successful 81.
peration in the province Of Westphaiia.
1t is a labor colony" quite q new title
for new thing. 1t grew out OF an adj
dress made by prominent German
publicist in a busy manufacturing
town of northern Germany, in which
he said that there was an army of
tramps in the fatherland which cost
the public at least 81. ZOO, 600 a year to
support. ,,.;.-
Il believe" said the speaker, '.that
this army numbers at least 100000
men. The humblest and LATEST of
these creatures gets at least Is cents
from the public daily. Many Of them
get four times that amount. We could
| feed, house and clothe this army at
| ne-tenth the present expense if we
would give them work. We might
lead some Of them back to an indus
trious and useful life. If the province
will help me, will start labor colo
ny, and in a few years we will be rid
Of the tramp evil" .... -
The province of Westphalia advanc-
ed him 10000 marks. He bought an old
farm the looked barren and sterile.
News of what the promoter of i the
scheme intended to do reached the
tramps, and they applied by the hun
dreds for admission to the proposed
colony. At the end of the first year
200 were at work, and at the end Of Is
months 225 were at work, according ia
official testimony. 49,.
Among these were some who had
been in the army, the gymnasium and
the university, former custom house
official, man who had been in the
civil service, an ex-landwehr officer
one who had been decorated with the
iron cross, a gentleman farmer, a SOL
der, an ex-mine inspector. ex-school-
masters, clerks and others. These men
who had come into the colony ragged
and unkempt, were at the end of a
year respectable looking, clean and
we'll dressed.
| All were at once sent to the baths
and their old clothes burned, Then
each man received a suit Of clothes
1:for which he paid out of the amour,
allowed him for his work. He signs an
agreement that the suit is not his pror
erty until he has paid for it and is told
that he will be prosecuted for theft II
he runs away before he has paid for it
| While In the colony every man must
rise with the sun and be ready to &c
to work at $3.50 o'clock. He is assigned
to his particular tast. A refusal tt
work means immediate dismissal from
the colony. Out of the first IA months
but As proved obstinate and were dis.
missed. Work is done in the fields
gardens, fruit nurseries or among thu
cattle, pigs and poultry: ordinaril,
the men work but eight hours a day
although in harvest time their hour:
are longer. .....~e .:;,..:5,. :. =. :

GARMENT WORKERS, LABEL-
Stands as Reformation of n Grea
Industry That Was DEGRADED.

" 40 Icy E"NCus
Our union label claims distinction
among all others as standing for the
reformation Of a great industry, the
standards Of labor Of which had be-
come so degraded that society has
been obliged to do something for it's
amelioration," writes Henry White,
general secretary of the United Gar
ment Workers. Economic students
have given the label great deal of
attention, and it has been the subject
of a number of magazine articles and
editorials. 1t is commanding much
public attention and is now looked up
on as the means by which those wish
ing the abolition of the Infamous
sweating slavery may cooperate for
that end through the power of their
patronage.
Through the increase demand for
the label we have every reason to hope
that it will eventually become the guar
antee, not only of fair and sanitary
conditions, but that garments which
bear it come from model workshop
conducted directly by the firm. In the
manufacture Of workmen's garments,
such as everalls, jackets, working
pants and shirts, our label has been
notably successful, as all the leading
manufacturers in that large branch of
the trade are now using it, and make
their goods under the most approved
! conditions. The standard scale OF
prices adoped at the PHILADELPHIA
convention has been conformed to in
; all these shops, and has resulted in
the raising of prices in a number OF
them from ten to twenty per cent. We
have found it necessary also to re.
strict our label firms making the bette,
grade of goods, and refuse it to such
; manufacturers whose methods of bust.
ness are question: BILE. In this way the
respect for our label is increased and
it's power for good strengthened.
| 1.-THE label is now used by eighty
firms, employing about 5000 member:
gain of twenty-six firms. In thu
past year 7,744,000 labels have beer
used, an increase of 3,244,0O0 over tn.
previous term.

IS 1T TRUEe
1t Is Reported That Mark Hanna Is
Plotting the Downfall of GOmpers.

1t Is Reported That Mark Hanna IL
Plotting the Downfall of Gompers.
The following article taken from the
National Democrat, published at Chi
cago, reports that Hanna is plotting
the downfall of Gompers, because he
cannot use him. This may only be a
yarn, but the facts comes from very
good authority, it is claimed:
mark Hanna does not intend that
organized labor shall interfere with
the presidential election in 1904, and
to avoid such possibility wires have
already been laid to capture the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor at the con-
vention which meets in Louisville, KY,
December 5.
THE fact that Samuel Gompers, it's
president, cannot be used to carry out
the plans Of the Republican boss is
said to have led the latter to plan his
defeat for reelection as president of
the Federation.
NEARLY all the great questions that
enter into a campaign generally eman-
ate from or are encouraged by the agi-
tation they receive in labor conven-
tions, and to put stop to this it is be-
lieved to be necessary to change the
officials of the highest body of labor
in America.
"The fear that agitation against
trusts and in opposition to an increase
in the standing army will be begun by
the Federation is considered reason
enough for the drastic measures pro.
posed by Hanna and the labor men he
has placed in political positions.
THE only setback to the plot is the
Gompers' place.
