ORGANIZED LABOR TO BE PRO.
MlNENT IN FLORAL PARADE
EAT LOS ANGELES.
President Roosevelt Will Be Labor's
Guest In~Spite Of Opposition from
Los Angeles Times.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 6. (Spec-
ial Correspondence).- For the first time
in the history of Southern California,
which is filled with union-haters, or
ganized labor will participate in the
annual floral parade in Los Angeles
whcih will be given on May s, during
the visit of President Roosevelts. H.
G. Otis, editor Of the notorious scab
Los Angeles Times, has resorted to
every means at his command to pre-.
vent this recognition of the unions, but
the citizens in charge of the reception
to the President refused to be brow
beaten by Otis. He has been turned
down completely, and as last resort
he is attempting to discredit the
unions by publishing each day out
rageous lies about the unions "intell-
TONS to do this and do that while the
President is here. But the more Otis
bowls the more he calls attention to
the fact that he has been ignored.
It is safe to say that there is not an
other newspaper in the United States
that so persistently misrepresents Or
gained labor. Otis is exceedingly
undetermined in his opposition, his
favorite method being to give promi-
nence in his paper to every labor dis
pute, and and in every distance to
claim that the unions are in the wrong.
The Times especially commended the
recent speech of Parry, and has de-
nounced John Mitchell as an anarchist.
In it's eyes Baer is a martyr.

POLICY OF THE LABOR WORLD.


With this issue the Labor World
makes editorial mention of number
of Duluths leading business institu-
lions. 1t is the policy of this paper to
encourage the "getting together" Of the
employers and the employed in all mat
ters that affect their mutual interests.
The man who says that labor and CAPT.
tai are natural enemies is not safe
man in any movement. That sort OF a
man believes in strife and warfare. We
believe in peace. Peace can be had
without the sacrifice of one ounce Of
manhood. If capital and labor can
get together after strike, can they
not do SO before trouble is had? We
do not know how much it is recog.
nized, but it is apparent to us that the
greatest failures in trade unions is the
lack of patience among the members.
If our government was impatient and
hurried in all it's differences with 9TH
err nations it would be in a state of
warfare all of the time. The United
States is proud of it's diplomats, and
likewise labor is proud Of it's judicious
Of them all in patience, calmness and
tact. Samuel Gompers, with his long
experience knows full we'll the folly of
hasty action. He stands today as one
Of labor's first champions for concilia-
ton. D. J. Keefe, of the Longshore-
men, never fails to bring about an
agreement for his organization, simply
because he knows how to reach men,
and labor always wins when it follows
his policy
Labor is not always in error because
it goes on a strike in haste. Too Of
ten there is a lack of fairness dis
played on the other side. The rough
bluff employer, used to talking to his
men in such a commanding manner is
responsible for more unpleasantness
than any other kind of a man we know
Of. Mark Hanna has said that there
is an approachable spot in every mans
heart. We believe that he is right
in this, and our aim should be to reach
that spot.
1t will be the policy of the Labor
World at all times to champion every
honest movement designed to bring
happier relations between the employer
and the employed. We want to see
labor we'll treated, we'll paid and work.
ing under good conditions. We shall
never cease to advocate this, but we
want to see this secured along the lines
of the least cost, the least sacrifice,
and the least resistance. Lets get to-
gether gentlemen.

The Greatest If Labor Leaders, and Strong Advocate
for Cancellation.

IN return, am very sure, will feel that
1t Is their duty to recognize the rights
OF others. I am not afraid of any: Of
these radical populistic or comunistic
movements with which we are some
times threatened, and with which the
enemies of labor would sometimes seek
to Identify labor. The laborer is intelli-
gent; the laborer knows that his own
prosperity is linked with the prosperity
OF others; the laborer understands that
he personally stands or falls as the
whole social fabric stands or falls. Let
us give to every man his rights, and
by giving to every han his rights we
educate him into the higher principles
of justice and religion, through which
he will concede to others their rights.
Wherever there is a mind, we must en-
tighten it; whenever there is. a con-
science, we must awaken it.; whenever
there is an arm we must strengthen it,
and by strengthening every individual
member of society we strengthen all So
ciety. But be all this as it may, there
is a new era before the world, an era
OF better more and more effective effort,
an era of general prosperity, an era of
awakening the livelier sentiments Of
justice and Of charity, and to have con-
tributed somewhat to the Fastening of
this era, to have by some little work or
some by little act helped on the work
of humanity toward this higher plane
Of brotherhood and of Christianity, is
task that any man may well be proud
of; a task the accomplishment Of which
cannot but be most agreeable to the
father Of all men, the Almighty God
above us.

BUSINESS MEN AND LABOR,

The relations between the business
men and labor should always be ami
cable. Their prosperity depends upon
the prosperity of the workingman.
The higher wages and the better con-
ditions that labor enjoys will bring
greater results to business men. There
can be no question about this. Every
thoughtful business man recognizes this
truth.
The best agency for securing good
wages, good conditions and industrial
peace is the trade union. Disorganized
labor can cause more trouble and dis
satisfaction than all the good that
trade unions can do. Intelligent organ
iZation of labor is the forerunner of in-
Austrial peace. For example we refer
Cur readers to the fact that there are
but few strikes among the we'll organ
city, perhaps one of the most intelli-
gent organizations in America, never
had a strike and yet It's members are
the best paid, and best treated of all
other trade organizations. The brick
layers are splendidly organized. They
work along the most satisfactory lines.
Who ever heard of a strike in this
trade within recent years? Their wa
ges are first class, and their working
conditions are unsurpassed Then
there is the printers, organized along
the most commendable lines. Their
wages and hours are the envy of other
tradesmen, and they only experienced
one strike In their fifteen years OF life
in this city. This proves our contention
that good organization prevents, strikes,
and offers a more satisfactory method
for securing good conditions.
This suggests to US that the BUSINESS
man who believes in industrial peace.
and who at the same time wants to see
labor we'll paid and we'll treated should
encourage the organization ct labor. III
is the only sure remedy for: ultimately:
: avoiding strikes. Give # q good test.
