ST. PAUL, May 31.-The job. shop
machinists of st. Paul met in Assembly
hall last Wednesday night and organic
ed a union with a charater membership
Of seventy-six. The meeting was call
ed by the Minneapolis and st. Paul un-.
ions Jointly. w.. ~ ,s.4<. III
There were a number Of members Of
the Minneapolis union present. The
first speaker was Mr.. Phil Carlin, Sec
retary Of the Minneapolis Building
Trades Council, who clearly defined the
benefits Of unions of the respective
crafts. and especially his own (the
carpenters) have better their condition
in the past four years from Is cents an
hour to 32h cents, the results of which
are better pay for shorter workday,
and more work for all, and the master.
builders more successful than any
period Of the binding Industries Of Min.
neapolis.. . .- .y,-.s,.,E...
Mr.. G.. L. Rockwell. secretary Of the
National Eight Hour League of Min
neapolis, was the next speaker. who
was given the subject Of union.
He said In part: :: 49,. =
IT have been q union man for nearly
forty years, from the fact that I am
nearly forty years old, and have never
made any apologies for it thus far, and
neither do I wish to be excluded until
such time as the word union fails to
imply fully with the requirements for
which it was, given. In this United
States we are merely a union, every
man, woman and child born under her
flag belongs to the union-hence, every
craft, creed; profession, manufacturer
and labor producer doing business und-
er the flag belongs to the union, and
there Is not q lawyer, doctor, merchant
or craftsman doing business within our
boundaries who can say he does not
belong to the union. 'Tis true we have
organizations in our midst calling them
selves associations-who prefer not to
be classed as belonging to unions and
feel their dignity would be so impaired
as to disgrace the business in which
they are engaged.
- "Alluding to the bar association. I
wish to say there is the strongest union
in the United States today. The law
yers are known to be very exacting
and observing to the rules Of Its assoc
ciation and it iis unbee ofling any mem
siIeS sstet ffoansS
have their fixed rules, rates for charges,
office hours, milage rates, ETC.; do they
belong to the union?" : ~. ,'='':t's1 "
/ Mr.. Rockwell concluded his. remarks
by urging every man to always be
proud of his working card, and If he
didn't have one, lose no time in getting
one.
Mr.. J. D. Whips, secretary Of Ma
chinists' Union No. 81, of Minneapolis,
followed with very searching remarks,
appealing to the unorganized to become
organized. -
A recess of fifteen minutes was voted,
and upon call seventy-six new men,
bers were enlisted.

MINNEAPOLIS May 31.-Organizers
are now at work securing names for
the organization Of the Eight Hour Day

most encouraging success. That this
movement will not conflne itself to or

apparent as the work progresses. All

with the movement, and cheerfully pay

Minneapolis and st. Paul Organiza-
tions Are Prospering.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 31.-The Dress
makers are prospering, and they realize
the benefits Of unionism in the improv-
ed conditions and hours of work this
season as compared with last year,
when the hours of work depended only
on the whim of the employer. It is ad-
mitted by employers that the rules Of
the union are mutually beneficial, and
the best Of feeling prevails -
The st. Paul dressmakers also report
that untonism in that city has taken
strong root, and that the organization
is doing nicely. At the meeting held
last Sunday; afternoon, very encour-
aging reports were received, and there
is no room for doubt that the st. Paul
Dressmakers' union, like its Minneapo-
lis sister, is a permanent part of the la
Dor movement, and that it will be in a
position to say under what conditions
and terms it's members shall work.

Their hope OF success lies in earnest
cooperation and wise use Of the
weapons at their command. The strike
the boycott and the label are powerful
weapons when used with discretion,
but increasing intelligence can alone
furnish the discretion needed.
sf3 How to use wisely that which they
get.-This isllthe moral phase Of the
labor question. It is not enough to
create and get moral wealth; we must
know how to use it wisely to be bene-
hted fby it. We must learn to prefer
Things OF permanent value to those
that are Injurious. The use of intoxi-
eating liquor furnishes practical IL
lustration. The drink bill of the United
States Is one billion dollars a year.
We all know that this great sum comes
largely from the pockets Of the wage
earners. If that vast sum of money
could be spent on houses, on furniture.
schools and books, food and clothing.
what a nightly burden would be lifted
from our shoulders. This does not take
into account the loss Of time, the vast
number Of police OFFICIALS. attorneys
and judges; the jails and warehouses;
made necessary by the abuse of liquor.
1t is estimated on good authority that
over one-half of the criminal prosecu-
sions In our nation are caused by ex-
cessive use of liquor. No matter how
Just may be our system of dividing
wealth, the earnings of the imprudent
are bound to find their way into the
hands of the prudent. A question of
vital concern to worlkingmen, as class,
Is. how to become more temperate and
prudent. = f., 49, =
We now have the labor question be-
Tore us In outline, have taken survey
OF the whole field and nave seen that
intelhngence holds. the key to the sti-
uatton. It has been charged, and no
doubt with much truth, that we are
deyoting our energy to one phase Of the
question, How to get what we earn, to
the neglect Of the other two phases,
which are equally important TO us. If
we accept in good faith this broader
view of the labor question, If we recog-
nize its educational aspects, we shall
gather to ourselves the sympathy and
support of all $3.50 love righteousness

justice and truth.-Edwin s. Fry. ~

A WONDERFUL CHANGE.
Since the Miners Strike in Pennsyl-
-, vania People Are Better on,

Since the Miners strike in Pennsyl-
vania People Are Better on.
What wonderful change has taken
place in the coal regions within the lsst
twelve months. Not only among the
miners themselves. but in nearly all
branches In which labor is employ yed-
carpenters, bricklayers, masoEs, In fact,
in all lines Of the building t-asles retail
clerks, blacksmiths, bartenders, shoe
makers. stree-car men, ctgarmekers-
everybody organising, getting higher
wares. q shorter Work-day. more money
and more leisure, ana beginning to feel
that life is worth living after all. And
to what can we attribute this annaz-
Ing transformation, where formerly ex-
tremely low wages and general feel
Ing Of hopelessness prevailed? The
anthracite miners, under the leadership
OF the cool-headed and far-seeing
Mitchell, are in the vanguard. BY sim
plying uniting and standing together
as one man, they have carried con-
sternation into the camps of the mil
lionaire coal barons, who have so long
robbed and enslaved them. This. and
this alone, has been the agency that
has demonstrated. to the workers in
other lines that the open sesame to bet
ter conditions is trade unionism.
The entire anthracite region has been
electrified. as it were. by the determined
and successful battle of the miners. last
fall. What was proclaimed far and
wide as an impossibility is today a mat
ter of recorded history. The coal min
ers got an increase in their wages by
simply standing out as one man and
refusing to work until their demands
were granted. =.
The example set by the wage-earners
in the mining districts of Pennsylvania
should serve as an object lesson, not
alone to the toilers in the old keystone
State, but everywhere throughout the
entire country where trade unionism
has not as yet attained foothold.
