CURED OF HIS WEAKNESS. When the Shakespearean Scholar Was Taken Literally He Quit.

was Iakeu LlIeraIIy 6e 0u4t' New York Times.
 A Staten Islander with a handsome home near the guns of Fort Wadsworth Is a Shakespearean scholar. But he was recently abandoned his custom while walking the lonely road from the ferry to his home. of reciting long pas sages from the works of his favorite author. This is hoy 1t happened. The sun had just set on a recent evening and the student was reclting dramati- eally the scene from King John in which Hubert calls forth the execu- tioners from an inner chamber to mur- der the young princes. He waved his hand and shouted:
 Come forth and do as I bid you
 4 balf- drunken negro who was con- cealed in the hedge came forth and pleaded
 Say. boss, ain't done nothin. I was just sleeping cause I was drunk"
 The Shapespearean scholar explained that he had not called the negro.

A UNION MANS DUTY.

The real work of labor organizations,
the work that will be lasting in it's in
fluence and beneficial to mankind, is
not found in the police function of pro-
tecting the immediate rights of the la
borer but in the education which as
ISOLATION develops When the great
body Of workingmen knows the eco
nomic law by which they are control
led; when they understand that the ills
which they bear are the results of con :
ditions within their control rather the
perverseness of individual employers,
when they understand that they are re-
sponsible for injustice, for want, for
crime and wretchedness, and that it is
only because they have not learned the
lesson. and applied the remedies that
the necessity for labor organizations
has arisen, there will be better con-
dition Of the race and the work of the
labor organizations will have been ac-
complished. AS a means to this end
men should be taught to be brave, SELF
reliant and helpful to their fellow Ia
borers, and to mankind in general, they
should be taught that man has only
partly fulfilled his duty when he has in
formed himself; that he owes the duty
of informing his neighbor, and of using
his influence, his voice, his vote, in the
working out Of the problems of gov
eminent in the relation to the economic
welfare Of the people.

A FEW FACTS.

The: loud mouth reformer usually fails
because he needs reforming himself and
secondly because he is usually a re-
former for revenue, only or for selfish
purposes. The really honest man who
has a. heartfelt desire to benefit man
kind, is first a practical man possessed
Of sufficient common sense to enable
him to accept things as they are ana
form his actions accordingly instead Of
closing his eyes to the condi lions as.
they exist and building his plans from
the standpoint that things i'm general

|Old world cannot De changed In d min
ute nor by hoping and wishing The
process of reformat ton is now and has
been in the past one gradual evolution,
and will continue to be so in the future
The practical, common sense trade I'M
ionist knows this and shapes his plans
accordingly. The trade unionist wants
it all or as much thereof as rightfully
belongs to him, but he has also sense
enough to know that the trade union is
the means to enable him to get a little
more here and little more there while
he struggles along for the whole loaf.
He will not destroy or permit any one
else to disrupt his union, his bread win
ner, his means to a better life now as
he hopes and works for a still better
economic condition WHICH his common
sense teaches him will finally come
through the efforts of trade unions.

TRUE FRAEERNALISNI.

1t is the principle of unionism that an
injury to one is the concern of all, and
no fraternal organization can approve
a system that merits a portion of it's
members to greedily grasp more than
their share of employment. Fraternity
becomes a mockery when one worker
seizes the opportunity to earn double
pay, when by so doing his brother" is
deprived of the opportunity to earn
nothing.
When one worker is employed six
teen hours he is presumed to perform
the labor of two workers employed
eight hours, and thereby displaces one
man. This displaced idle man becomes
menace to the employed man. The
idle man is often forced by want and
restitution to eagerly accept the en-
ployed mans position for less pay, and
in turn the employed man falls from
his privilege of reaping his sixteen-hour
harvest to the ranks OF the unemployed.
If among a thousand workers it can
be shown that some are earning very
high wages, there is an incentive for a
wage reduction. The public lauds the
employer who pays such high wages
without giving a thought to the fact
that those who receive the high wages
had by their greed performed the labor
of two men,, and that one Of the men
had earned nothing, s.,: -. .s,., g. a. .,

PREsIDENT OF STATE FEDERATIoN.

Isn't it about time that the local un-
ions took measures looking to securing
the presidency OF the State Federation
Of Labor? 1T is perhaps a little early,
but the old adage, "the early bird cat
ches the worm" is as true today as ever.
Minnesota Union Advocate:
We presume by the above that when
the Advocate refers to the local unions
that it means the St. Paul unions. St.
Paul would like to have the presidency.
1t wants it. and it wants 1t bad. Let
us give them little advice. Just or
ganize few more unions. Just have
few more affiliate with the Fedora
ton. Just have the few that are affili-
ated pay their dues, and last of all let
them quit their knocking" and unite
on a good man. Then maybe they can
elect a president. Minneapolis sends a
united delegation to every convention.
With the aid Of one or two small towns.
if they so choose, they can say who will
and who will not be officers of the Fed
Grafton. Minneapolis has the presidency
now and is likely to keep it, unless st.
Paul gets hustle on herself.
So far as we are concerned, we can
say that it is immaterial who are the
officers. All we want is men who will
work. Let the convention say who the
officers will be, and let us see how much
good work we can do before the con-
vention, rather than wasting our time
talking federation politics.

no YOUR DUTY.

The Labor World wants to read a
sermon to union men. who do mot at
tend their union meetings. It is not
right for you to think that just because
you're "a member. and your dues are
paid, your whole duty is done. Y on
should remember that your union has
meetings, and they do business at those
meetings that may interest you. Any
way, it is your duty to be there. Com
mittees are appointed; questions Of Wit
al Importance come up, and you should
be there to register your vote. In fact,
if you are a union man or woman, be
one in every way. Do your duty as a
member. Attend your meetings. Study
the labor question. See that the union
label is on all the goods that you buy.
Don't buy scab goods. Ask for the I'M
ion clerk and see that he or she shows
the current quarter card. Be a worker
in the grand movement for organized
labor. See that your union has IT'S
printing done in a shop that has the
union label. You will then be doing
your duty.

STAND by YOUR ORGAN

The progress of the labor movement
in the United States has been gradual,
sometimes even slow, but that the
cause is surely advancing no we'll in
formed person will surely deny.
The principles upon which the cause is
founded are SO broad, the questions of
reform and human progress which are
inseparably interviewer with the move
ment are so comprehensive, that the
ordinary person in the busy world has
little comprehension of what is being
accomplished, or of the vast possibili-
ties within the reach of men, which
can be achieved through honest CO.
operation and perseverance. ILL.,
These successes have depended in the
past, and must depend in the future,
more upon the we'll directed efforts of
the labor press-the, journals, maya
zines and newspapers devoted to the
cause of labor-than to- any other sin
gle agency.
The labor papers must be supported
and encouraged by union men if they
expect to obtain relief from the many
unjust conditions forced upon them
These publications are the agencies
in and through which we keep in touch
with our co-workers throughout the
land. They are sentinels that guard on,
interests and sound he keynote OF
warning upon the approach of danger;
the champions that protect our princi.
pies in the face of every attack, and
the guides that direct and aid us
with their judicious counsel in thu
hour of our need, often at the cost t
themselves of great self-sacrifice AND
pecuniary loss. '
The men who conduct these publica-
lions are almost invariably hard
working, self-sacrifcing set of men
men who see and understand the dan
gers which are gathering so fast that
they seriously threaten in the near fu.
ture to engulf society as they have
already practically submerged til.
body polite. These men deserve the
most hearty support and co-opera
l'tion Of every co-worker; workers o
brain and muscle, the professiona
man, tradesmen, mercha nts, ministers
it you please, all who embrace wha.
we call society. They are the ones who
lift. not the ones who lean. Give then
