EVER NOTICE IT?

In all this discussion between the
advocates and the opponents OF union
ism, there ia one peculiar fact that de-
serves especial attention. The advo-
Gates OF unionism are all union men.
The mechanic at the lathe. the printer
at the case, the carpenter at the bench
every branch of organized trade-fur-
nishes men who can stand forth and
give a reason for being union men and
defend their cause with tongue or pen.
Did you ever see a "scab" who could
do It? Have you ever noticed that all
the arguments in favor of the ''scab
and against unionism are advanced by
the employers? II the "scab" is the
free and intelligent" man, the un-
fettered working man." that the en-
ployers say he is. why in Gods name
don't some "scab'' stand up and speai
for himself? Why does the employer
have to do all the talking for the
"scabs?"
The answer Is easy. The intelligent
thoughtful, skilled mechanic is Away.

MR.. MIILER'S CANDIDACY.

Elsewhere in this issue The Wage
worker gives its reasons for supporting
John r. Miller, who is candidate for
election to the legislature from Ian
caster county. The Wageworker be-
lieves that the reasons given will have
weight with every unbiased and
thoughtful union man who will spare
the time to read them.
After all has been said and done.
after the forensic displays upon the
floors of our union meetings, after all
the theories and all the planning
after all of these things have been in
dulged in, the fact still remains that
union labor can accomplish almighty
little until it solidifies its vote at the
ballot box. Men may parade on Labor
Day and talk about the millennium
when the laborer shall come into his
for machine politicians and interests
that are antagonistic to the welfare OF
labor, and begins voting as unit for
labor's interests, nothing of any mo-
ment will be accomplished. The curse
of the party lash is upon organized
labor. Partisan politics is doing more
TO thwart the plans of unionism than
all the Parryites in America. AS long
as the opponents of unionism can keep
the labor vote divided on partisan lines
they do not fear it. When labor be-
gins voting as a unit it will begin reap
ing the reward that belongs to those
who eat their bread in the sweat OF
their faces.
Don't think that because a candi-
date Of your personal choice stands
NO show OF election a vote for him is
thrown away. A vote cast for prin-
ciple is never lost. even though 1t be
the only one cast therefor. Take time
to vote. and vote intelligently. Vote
for the men who stand for the things
which you advocate and which tend
to benefit you as a laboring man. Vote
for labor's friends, even though they
may be political enemies.
Take time to vote. The grocer will
trot from the crackerbox to the scales
the scales balance. The mechanic de-
mands pay for overtime, and usually
gets it-always IL he is a union man.
But the grocer who trots from crack
erhox to scales, and the mechanic who
insists upon pay for overtime, often
refrains from voting because it takes
q few extra minutes, although the ex-
ercise of the franchise is the great
est privilege that an American citizen
can boast. Take time to read and mark
your ballot The man who boasts that
he always votes straigh. ticket mere
ly boasts that he is too ignorant tC
think and too lazy to investigate.
Read the reasons The Wageworkel
advances for supporting Mr.. Miller's
candidacy. Think for yourselves. Vote
for your own interests.

1t is hardly right to blame a boy for
taking to the streets when all the ef-
forts of the parents are confined to
making the girls room attractive
A boy is not to be blamed for doubt
ing the worth OF the advice against
smoking that is given by his father
between whiffs of a pipe.
Boys will be boys, but that is no
reason why they should not be gentle
men.
A boy in the house is worth two on
the streets.
Z The boy who remembers his mother
is not likely to get far away from God
When a boy begins to comb his hair
and polish his shoes without being
driven to it. it a sure sign that he
has met her And only foolish par
ent will try to plague him about it.

The "scab" is the Benedict Arnold

The real union man does not have
to display his card on all occasions.
Successful arbitration is better than
unsuccessful striking.
Politicians cheer the solid ranks of
labor on Labor Day. They also cheer
