The union will never win public
opinion as long as it tries to do
the least possible work for the
largest possible wage, but when
the union endeavors to earn
the largest possible wage con-
sistent with the demands of health

There are many things more
profitable, on the whole, to both
labor and capital, than wages and

honesty, considerateness and SYM

The relations of labor and capital
are those of independent equals
uniting their efforts to a given end,
and each with the power, within
certain limits, to determine it's
own rights-not to prescribe the

no right to dictate how labor shall
seek it's interests nor vice versa.

Trade Uni0niSn.

The labor question Of the pres
ent and future is a problem that
should occupy most important
space within the minds of every
industrious and intelligent human
being, and especially with those
seeking and protesting to promote
it's interests. They should, as
leaders and promoters, thoroughly
study this problem. Nothing will
assist them more in executing
judiciously every step taken to-
wards it's Improvement
1t is easily perceived by prudent
and sincere promoters of the move
ment that the enormous laboring
class, as whole, is not RESPONSE
BILE for steps taken. Is the inno-
cent and undeveloped part of a
child's mind responsible for it's fu-
ture course? No! Only through
adherent and devoted attention,
forethought and instruction ex-
tended by a loving parent, guardian
or cultivated teachers will it de-
velop an understanding essential
to it's own future welfare, happi-
ness and ultimate independence.
As a matter of fact, the ever
growing ability of calculation and
preconception exercised by prac-
tlcal leaders and captains of in
dustry will in time, if not COM
peted with, so far exceed and
overpower the intelligence of our
poor and helpless laboring people
and tradesmen, as to fulfill the
predictions of the notorious Harvey
Coin, of Chicago. When in 1892
he asserted, through his financial
problems, that if we would not take
heed this free and independent
country would in the near future
be governed by the same funda-
mental principles as Great Britain
and other foreign countries are.
Namely, "that there would be in
time ninety-nine dependents upon
one independent" Would that
install freedom, happiness and COM
fort, or fill the hearts and minds of
our honest tradesmen with salts
faction?
We do not in the least blame the
president of the national associa-
ton of manufacturers for assailing
so numerically the leaders and
members of trade unions and organ
lied labor. He is doing no more
than executing duties assigned
him. But when he emphasizes
the statement regarding thousands
of trade and union leaders sup.
ported by dues collected from its
members, he certainly omits re.

from whence his own fat purse ii

the value of labor?
Labor is a commodity placed
upon the market for the highest
bidder" says Charles S. Darrow,
late chief of the anthracite coal
miners. It is an indispensable fac
tor of industry, aud thus it should
be recognized to balance the scale
with it's products. AS the work
ingman has nothing else but his
daily toll to place on the market
in order to provide himself and
family with the necessities of life,
every impulse possible should be
exercised in behalf of it's protec-
ton. AS most every imaginable
industry is irrevocably monopoliz-
ing it's powers, how can the exer-
tions of human flesh upon which
rests the happiness and welfare of
commonwealth afford to be dis
seminated and unorganized? In
union there is strength. In indi-
viduality there is discord, from
which arises hatred, jealousy and
selfshness.
There are few Immediate steps
which should be taken in order to
overcome this pending calamity.
We should encourage the prohibit
ton of importing poverty. We
should equally so discourage the
employment of women and children
at various occupations Of which I
shall more firmly express myself
in a following article, as it does
not exactly come under this head
ing.
Trade unionism has throughout
the central part of our government
been most shamefully abused in
the past, and I am sorry to say it
has been because of the inability
of it's members to come up to their
profession. 1t has long been the
custom of a jack -all-trades and
master of none, to select some
special occupation of which per-
haps he had slight knowledge
from the acquaintance Of some of
it's union members and in the near
future be installed as a protected
member of the order. But when
it came to the test he lacked good
deal of filling it's demands, thus
leaving an unobliterated stigma
upon it's cause. Not satisfied with
thus demoralizing it's effort he has
expended all energy within his
power to overthrow it's construc-
ton. The union is an impedi-
ment to American freedom, is his
cry; it tells you what you shall do,
how you shall do it, and the
number of hours limiting a days
work, all because of his inferiority
of skill. Another complains of
over taxation in dues to be paid.
But he never grumbles over the
hard earned dollars squaudered at
the bar. In short, human nature
is prone to protest against all that
tends to lift out of the mlre.
The effects of monopolized in
dustry upon our beloved country's
future independence has long been
discussed and pondered over by
every intelligent, thoughtful and
deliberate citizen. Its detriments
and benefits have been argued at po-
litical campaigns by congressman
and senators, by governors and ad-
vocates, and as final result it has
almost become tragedy of hor-
rors, expressing and disturbing
the comforts Of the workingman's
fireside. Observing as we do every
day, it's incessant and unrestricted
growth, can we wonder at the
abused, helpless tradesmen strug-
Cling for freedom, equal rights and
justice within the closely woven

Labor Unions VS.. Public
Opinion.


The statement is generally
made by Trade Unionists that they
are to a greater or lesser degree
powerless without the boycott and
the picketing methods in use to-
day, and this statement is usually
born out in their many fights. l
believe this statement and impress
sion to be false, both from bust
ness standpoint and along the
principles of right and wrong.
The laboring classes of today are
in no danger of being reduced to
slavery, at least SO long as our
present government exists. Every
right minded man is justified, from
a law-abiding standpoint, in de-
nouncing boycotts, picketing and
smuggling methods Trade unions
will not lose anything by abiding
within the limits of existing laws.
/ think it is wise for laboring men
to form trades unions to further
their interests and better their con-
.ditions, but [ believe their weak
points to be instruction and educa-
ton on social questions. The
labor union is factor for the up
lifting of the laboring classes when
kept within the confines of the
law, and it's benefits administered
in the American spirit of liberty
for all.
There has always been strife be-
tween the laboring class and the
capitalist there always will be.
In the very nature of things there
always must be dividing line be-
tween these two factions. Capt.
tai is grasping, and employees are
arbitrary and unreasonable at
times; but the union can and must
deal with the employer along other
lines than lawlessness. There can
be no greater folly than resorting
to violence, when back of the labor
ing classes stands the greatest
power on earth, if educated and
trained with equity and fairness
public opinion.
The labor union has broad field
to work in. There Is no question
but what it can benefit the work
ing classes; but they must, above
all things else, educate public opin.
ion. The only way in which this
can be done is to show the public
that they realize the fact; first,
that they are in a law-abiding
country, a land of liberty; and Sec
~ondly. that the public is the party
of the third part. This party of
the third part in great majority
of cases, is forced to suffer the
lions share of the inconvenience
and sufferings usually caused by
the common methods in use today.
The labor union must rid itself
of the professional agitator, and
the unions as a whole must study
Tthe economic conditions and ques-
'tions Of the day, as we'll as the
conditions of the labor market,
and learn to do their own think
ing. They must educate their
members up to the American con-
~ception of fairness, and the Ameri-
can way of disposing of difficulties,
and this end can only be reached
by ard through commissions of
cancellation and boards of arbi-
tration. The warning of these two
factions affects all the public. The
only conditions which will ever
settle these difficulties will be a
brotherly love for one another,
which will mean justice and right
eousness, and compulsory arbitra-
ton.
The public has looked upon the

with peals of gay laughter, that
are waited from the pavilion where
swains whirl their sweethearts in
the maze of the dance. Above
these is heard the muffled throb
of the waves as they beat upon the
long sandy beach. All. what an
impressive evening it is!
Her heart pulsates unanimously
as she stands waiting upon the jut-
ty while he hoists the white expan-
sive sail of his trim little sloop.
He fastens the halyards, and ar.
ranges the cushions while the can
vas flaps lmpatiently in the wind
as if anxious to fly. Now he
speaks to her, holding out his
arms. Gathering her skirts
about her, and, like a bird poised
for flight, she pauses a moment, her
white-draped figure bewitchingly
outlined against the background of
the night-then leaps lightly into
the boat AS she takes her place
among the cushions, he pushes
away from the pier, the boom
swings outward, the breeze smooths
the wrinkles from the sail, the
sloop careens slightly and glides
almost silently out into the lake
and the night. Soon the heavy
duskiness is diffused by the lumi-
nous face of Artemis as she peeps
shyly over the horizon, her smile
dancing the light fantastic on the
embryo waves as they chase one
another shore ward.
Straight into the illumination of
Diana's good humor he guides his
craft. He gazes at his companion.
Never before has she looked so
beautiful as she now appears in
the mellow light of the moonbeams.
With one hand upon the tiller he
seeks hers with the other finds
it. How velvety soft it is! He
feels the pulsatjon of her warm
blood as it surges to her fngertips.
She, too, is under the spell and is
happy. Never was music so de-
licious as the lap, lap, of the wave
let's against the yachts bow, their
ripping quickly astern, leaving in
it's wake but a trail of bubbles.
He breathes the fragrance of her
hair-or is it Imagination only?
"Ohw she murmurs, eff we could
but sail on and on like this for
ever!
He hears-and answers passion
ately, "We -always!'
The wind has freshened and is
blowing almost gale. Clouds are
scurrying across the face of the
moon, screening ever and anon it's
light A storm is brewing. He
has veered the yachts course
landward and Is scudding before
the wind. Now and again it buries
it's prov in the white capped
waves, throwing the spray over the
occupants, drenching them thor
oughly. She huddles closer to him
and he places his arm about her as
if for protection. The wind means
dismally through the rigging;
the waves are running high, crest
ed with foam. The scene is in
deed changed. But an hour ago
all was serene! Now the elements
are raging as if angry that human
beings should dare to be happy
The sloop has reached it's moor
ings, and as he helps her upon the
pier, she exclaims thankfully, Il

course he does saying: Darling,
