SECRET OF PRoF1T-sHARIxG.

The real inspiration for "profit-shar-
ing" is naively revealed by the New
York World. in a comment upon the
offer of the Peckham Manufacturing
Company of Kingston, N. Y, giving
their $50 employees a dividend on their
wages equal to the common stock divi-
dend. The World says this is evidence
of a commendable spirit, as "a dividend
of six or ten per cent on the years
wages Of a skilled mechanic is a well
come addition to his resources, and as
he has to earn it for the company be-
fore he gets it himself, it ought to be
good bargain for the stockholders as
we'll as for the wage-earner. Certain
ly it will be good bargain. For what
other reason was the company so mag
unanimous?
The harder the mechanic works to get
his dividend, the larger. becomes the
dividend for the stockholder. The me-
chanic, spurred on by the tempting bait
of dividend on his wages, expends
much more labor power. produces much
more wealth, while the stakeholder Is
enabled to secure a greater amount of
wealth much easier than before. The
life of the mechanic will be shortened
through the excessive exertion, while
the stockholders life will probably be
heightened. Profit-sharing is "a great
scheme for the willy capitalist.

THE ARBITRATION QUESTION.

Compulsory arbitration means indus
trial servitude bordering on real slav-
cry. We hold that the government has
no more right to compel it's subjects to
arbitrate the question of wages and
then compel the subject by force of law
to abide the findings of the board, than
it has to compel it's subjects or any one
of them to arbitrate the question of
where he shall go to church, or what
he shall eat or wear, or how long he
shall sleep or whether he shall or shall
not smoke. No one will say we have
the right to compel a man to submit to
arbitration the question that he shall
not smoke cigars. If we have that right
we have the right to arbitrate the ques-
ton of compelling him to smoke. After
all the greatest question and the one Of
the most Importance is the one of wages
and we hold that all wage earners
should be left in a position to freely
Exercise their rights to obtain the great
est possible wages obtainable. Volun-
| tafy arbitration is right and a good
| thing always for the side that is the
strongest, but compulsory arbitration at
this stage of our economic evolutionary
development is snare and a delusion
and should he avoided as you value the
price of liberty and freedom of action.

Among the many things that union
men to be consistent should do are:
Purchase only union made goods; stand
by the label always; support the local
labor papersit is always the paper that
cannot be subsidized by capital speak
out in the union meetings, it is better to
talk there than on the street corners;
give the officers of the union all the
support they are entitled to, and they
are entitled to the fullest possible sup
port so long as they act honestly and
conscientiously; stand up for the union
in season and out of season, be a union
man always. There are many other
things that union man might do, but
let him observe the above faithfully and
he will become better trade unionist
than most of those who today carry
union cards in their pockets.

UNIONISM AT HOME.

The labor movement is weakest
among the women. That is to say,
among the women-the wives of the
laboring men-there is a deep misund-
erstanding of the general aim and pur-
pose of. labor organization. For her
husband to. belong to labor organize
ton means rdues-50 cents a month at
least. 1t means that the husband must
absent himself from home to attend the
meetings. These and many other
things make the women rather chary of
a union, and you seldom find one who
takes broader view. There are wo-
men who have never had the benefits
of a labor union presented to them In
a fair way. This, of course, is the hus
bands fault. The labor paper is thrust
worthy of attention. What wonder,
then, that the women of the household
are ignorant of the main objects of the
labor organizations, which is the better
ment of the condition of the masses Of
the workers? Some women think that
labor organization Is financial det-
riment to her husband. Truth, is, such
organization, and that alone, has made
it possible for her husband to receive
at least double the wages that he would
receive if there were no trade unions.
If you doubt this, just read little la
Dor history and see how fully this state
ment is corroborated. Even though the
man be outside of an organization he
is benefited, because the wage of the
nOn-uniOn man is fixed almost entirely
by and very close up to the amount
which the unionist demands and re-
ceives. It is easy, it seems to us, to
show to the women that unionism is
very desirable and profitable; but we
must confess that there is much educa-
ton necessary along this line. All hus-
bands should place their unionism first
and foremost in the family for educa-
tional purposes, if for no other reason.
