THINK FOR YOURSELF.

Perhaps the greatest menace in union
labor circles to-day is the lack of in
dividual fought. The union layman is
much the same as the layman in church
circles.-he allows the leaders to think
for him. The future strength Of or
ganized labor depends upon the study.
and thoughtful consideration of trade
unionism from the principle. to its ap-
plication to every day life. The fore
fathers Of our great: republic decided
that I'm union: there is strength,''> not
in the blind following of: the: leaders.
There must be lead rs4-rn en- who devote
themselves .to the Hcbt7fil ION 6od:-but it
is the duty of each and every union
man to be informed and to be ready
with careful thoughtful advice to the
leaders. In the foundation Of our gov
eminent, men were willing to give, all,
even life itself for the union Of the
states. In this day when practically
the same question is at stake--the COM
mon good--the good Of the working
man, it is time to cut out the petty
5ealousies, the selfishness and let every
man take up the cause of every other
man, insrill the milk of human kind
ness' and justice into your own lives,
and the success Of every branch of Or
ganized labor is foregone conclusion
II you are simply a member OF your
union from selfish motives, think,
study for a, moment, that your influ-
ence and advice are needed for it's
complete success, and your own per-
sonal good. Be active not only in the
yNV1x If Int 49,
propagation Of the principles underly-
ing all trades unions; everything tend
ing to benefit the masses of working
men. The following from a labor day
speech by O. E. Treitmoor, is especially
solient in the same connections:
The labor problem is the world s
problem, and the local labor union is
the first step to the solution Of that
problem.
Organization, unificatton and educa-
ton of all the men and women who toll
for a living is the only possible solu-
ton Of the labor problem.
Our greatest woe is that the toiling
! people have always been too willing to
allow their thinkings to be
! done by others. They have believed
the politicians, the SchenerS and the
enemies of labor; but they have rarely
| needed the advice Of their own associ.
ates, whose observations, study and ex.
perience qualify them to teach the
! truth! ,
! Do your, own thinking!
Preserve, your Organizations!
Each of us has a role to play on the
stage of life. The question is not wha
that role is, but how we play it. If we
play it we'll, our name is worthy Of
more honor than that; Of the worlds
