of that lively up river town into a
corborate town is progressing finely.
He states that there is little. if any
opposition of Consequence. most all of
the residents being convinced that the
town will be greatly aided by being
incorporated. New conditions will
be possible and the city may erect
utilities which the people cannot help
appreciate and which will make life
more worth the living. The Sentinel

the people will forward the movement

THE DAILY SENTINEL
HEARST ON LABOR.

The Los Angeles Examiner, W. r.
Hearst's lately established newspaper.
contains an editorial in late issue
which we quite in part. In the main
on the rights of union labor to pre-
serve its autonomy and by all fair
means advance its organization and
those belonging to it, as distinguished
from the non union article:
"Why does a man work?
ITO get money.
Therefore, whatever helps him to
get more money for his labor than he
would be able to command standing
alone is a blessing to him.
TRADE unions are the most effective
agency for raising wages that has yet
been devised.
''Of what rights does the trade un-
ion deprive man who joins it?
1.-THE right to work for low wages.
The right to be a slave. utterly
subject to the will OF the employer.
The right to starve.
''There is not only STRENGTH.
but LIBERTY, in union.
Every member ha; behind him
the power of all his fellow members
to compel fair treatment and exact
fair pay.
"What would be the use of trade
unions to the worker if they did not
discriminate IN favor of their own
members and against men who refuse
to join them, but remain ON the out
side to fight unionism while enjoying
its fruit-a life standard of wages?
Unions have both moral and a
legal right to draw broad line be-
tween their own members and traitors
to the cause of labor.
To deny to the union the right to
discriminate between its members and
non members is to declare that when
union proves useful to those who
compose it, it forfeits the right to exist
Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes.
now of the United States Supreme
Court. when on the Massachusetts
bench. disposed of that imbecile con-
tennon in these words:
1T must be true that when combin-
ed they, tho worklngmen, have the
same liberty that combined capital has
to support their interests by arguments
persuasion and the bestowal or refusal
of those advantages which they other
wise lawfully control
''Why do business men combine?
IN Nr1ar to ,,l
raise profits
''And that. precisely. is the reason
why workihgmen combine.
'When union men resort to violence
to accomplish their end they break
the law.
Are trusts slow to break the law
in order to accomplish their purposes
''The lswlessness of the trusts is,
of course. no excuse for any lawless-
ness of which trade unions may have
been guilty. but it does estop the
trusts from virtually lecturing organ
lied labor ON the duty of respecting
the law at all cost. ~
There is much truth in the thought
that 'there is not only strength but
liberty in unions, " and without It
the workmen would be slave utter
~ at the will of the employer "
Hence the Sentinel has always stood
for unionism, but unionism of the pest
kind. The principle of sympathetic
strikes and boycotts it holds inimical
to the cause of labor, and respect for
law and the institutions of the land it
believes should be supreme with all
good citizens.
