Two Things Settled.

The whole people are in most seri-

ties and the dangers of labor organiza-
tons. In the uncertainties that beset
the subject two things are plain-labor
unions have come q to stay; they will
grow rather than diminish.
They call for the wisest guidance if
they are really to build up the Ameri-

great characteristic of American citi-
zenship while they are struggling mere
~ to gain the strength of compact or
ganization. Every great movement in
a democracy must be tested at last by
it's influence on the individual. The
care Of classes is the business Of older
and less efficient social systems. The
normal nurture and the free develop
ment Of the individual are the marks of
democracy. There is no more urgent
demand for wise leadership in the

A FOOLISH PREACHER.

Shows His Ignorance = and Preju-
dice Against Trades Unions.
The Rev. DR.. George p. Eckman said
some things about American working
men from the pulpit Of st. Pauls Meth
odist church, New York, which he
should have been ashamed to utter.
1.-THE average workingman of this
decade" declared the preacher, lis try
ing to do as poor work as he can, and
is trying to set as much as possible for
what he does" And then follows an
assault on the labor unions, which, ac-
cording to DR.. Eckman, twill not per-
NIT man to do his best"
If some workingman were to rise at
labor meeting and say that "the aver
age preacher of this decade is trying to
do as poor work as he cam what
would everybody of sense think of
him? Simply that he was a very fool
ish workingman, remarkably ignorant
on the subject of preachers and bur-
dened with strong prejudice against
them.
The average workingman has con-
science and desire to excel and sue
coed, and so far from it's being true that
the labor unions will not permit a man
to do his best, the best workmen are
gathered in unions. The "scab'" is COM
monty an inferior workman, often with
bad habits added to incapacity.
That the average workingman is
trying to get as much as possible for
what he does is not to be denied. But
is that crime? Is he not justified on
business principles in getting the best
price obtainable for what he has to sell
his labor?
The more the average workingman'
gets for what he does, Dr.. Eckman, the
better for you and for everybody, be-
cause high rewards for labor mean a
high standard Of living, of civilization.
Thanks chiefly to the labor unions,
which have so many enemies-some in
the pulpit, unfortunately, where they
should have only friends-wages are
kept up and kept rising in this country.
The unions maintain and increase not
alone the wages Of their own members,
but the wages Of workmen in general,
even of workmen who are false to the
interests of labor and fight the unions.
The whole country owes a great debt
to organized labor, for in battling for
it's own rights it renders a profoundly
valuable service to the entire commu-
nity.-New York American.

out the trying ordeal, never forgetting
that they should fight the enemys bat

ship commanders instructions when
setting out that morning to maintain
an incessant fire while passing up past

their missiles found the target with
deadly accuracy for night fighting.

Under such circumstances it is idle
for Workingmen to expect to be able to
control their conditions of employment
except they have an organization be-
hind them that is competent to cope
with that very condition. The labor or

labor must be exerted. If workingmen
are compelled to draw their employ
ment from a single source, then en-
ployers must be met with an organiza-
ton that will compel them to draw
their labor from single source. In
other words, the vast and all embrace
ing industrial corporation must be con-
fronted by the fully equipped and all
embracing labor corporation.
OF course it will be admitted that the
above proposition contemplates very
undesirable condition Of affairs, and it
is one that do not believe will ever be
reached in its entirety. but it is the
only logical outcome to present events,
and in order that workingmen may
protect themselves from the evil effects
of present tendencies it is necessary
that our industrial principles should be
logically applied.
Since 1886 we have had national
law providing for the incorporation of
labor unions. Many Of our states als"
have laws to the same effect, and l
cannot but believe that it would be a
wise move on the part Of labor organi-
