/, 1904 The later date of course IS
subject to change by this convention
IF the salary plan is to continue there
should be some definite date set by the
constitution, taking into consideration
that future elected officers are likely
TO find themselves in the same position
with your presene officer III terninat-
ing employments in which they are en-
gagged at time of election.
During the last three conventions
the committee on credentials was or
dered to meet the day prior to date OF
convention to act upon credentials. AS
the members of said committee are
under the same exepnse on that day as
all Others. and as their services on that
day are strictly for the federation ana
not for the union that they represent
the federation should make a consul
tutional provision for payment or ser
vices and expenses for that day. Here
tofore the executive committee mas
acted unnn this matter hut the amounts
should he specifically set forth SO tfH,t
no variation can occur according to
the liberality of any committee.
compensation and eS.epnse for dele
gates to the American Federation or
Labor should also be provided for by
the constitution.
"When thestate federation was first
organized its constitution contained a
provision that for the purpose OF car
rying on strikes approved by national
or international unions, In case of ne
cessity the executive committee might
levy an assessment of two cents per
member not oftener than once month.
AT the 1901 convention the provision
was stricken out because of oh1ectlon
TO the assessment plan. While strikes
should at all times be prevented when
possible, but when a qualification OF
rights or of manhood Is attempted
from any source, they become Justih-
able and necessary.
Experience has taught that those
organizations best provided with
means of defense are the ones least
called upon to defend their rights.
During the past few years 1t has
become the custom among employers
OF labor who are opposed to their en-
ployes organizing, to lock out all en-
ployes that either form or talk OF FORM

ship and the movement that is ulu-
n,ately expected to completely disrupt
the union movement has been extend
ed to all of the larger trade centers,
and in fact to a number Of smaller
cities and towns part of which have
never even had union within their
confines
1.-THE movement at this time, how
ever, promises abatement because OF its
excessive radicalism. Where 1T has at
tanned its full force of frenzied zeal,
the most rabid act ever done by any
misguided trade union or member
thereof may be compared as the act
of kindergartener with that OF the
high school graduate. While 1t is fact
that a considerable portion of the pub
lie press is brow beat into acquiescence
and even into publishing only the news
promulgat ted by these Incorporate zeal
OTIS, yet that public which they are at
tempting to arouse to b frenzy equal
to their own in opposition to the labor
movement is gradually awakening to
the real conditions and facts. Under
this great stress OF opposition, Iowa
unions in nearly all instances acted
with the utmost conservatism and nave
consequently placed themselves IN a po-
sition that will win them golden laureis
from the public when once the truth be-
comes thoroughly known.
The Open Shop.
"All movements OF incorporate and
frenzied zeal in the past history OF the
world have been carried on under the
cloak and pretense of great righteous
ness. In this case, after the failure to
induce the unions to accept incorpora-
ton and compulsory arbitration, and
when 1t became apparent that even the
writ of injunction was losing it's pow
ers to obstruct the movement some
shibboleth was needed with which to
humbug the people into trade union
opposition. The open shop, with It's
great pretense of protecting individual
liberty, was certainly happy thought.
The very mention of protection OF lib
erty will set the blood of the average
citizen coursing thru his system with

result nineteen employees were dis
charged and others making the total
number twenty-four, left in sympathy.
A number of futile efforts were made
10 bring about settlement. During
September the Davenport Trades AS
sembly requested your president to In
tercede. Upon arrival the difficulty
was carefully gone over and in COM
pany with Brothers White and Hitch
cock several calls were made upon the
president of the company and one OF
the directors. and finally a meeting was
had with the president ana the man
ager. The latter promised that he
would take up the matter with the
board OF directors and would use MS
influence for a settlement. Some hopes
were entertained, because of the fact
that this was the first time that ne
would consent to recommend settle
ment He asked for weeks time,
because of several directors being out
of the city with whom he had to cor
respond. At the end OF that time he
answered to the effect that the COM
pany could not recede from their orlgi-
nal position.
"The Davenport assembly had
been to considerable expense
in paying benefits to the lock-
ed out employees and it therefore
became necessary for them to Issue
call for financial assistance from the
unions of the state. This call was OIL
cially endorsed by your president

New Designs Of Our Enemies.
.sWhen. in December. the Citizens,
Industrial Alliance was organized at
Indianapolis, and decided for the open
shop change from the eight TO the
ten hour day, and the discontinuance
of the use of the union label on pro-
ducts of their manufacture, it was
thought that iowa would not, to any
great extent, be affected by their plans,
although several iowa delegates were
in attendance at the convention. This
oninion was held because of the fact
that Iowa unions had established a
reputation for intelligence and conser-
yatism. In nearly all of the trade
cenfers of the state the utmost good
will and confidence was in evidence,
and employers OF union labor, upon
every occasion, professed the greatest
friendship for the labor movement as
conducted in Iowa.
Later events have unhappiiy ex-
ploded all former expressions of friend

| benefits he can from his fellow workers
without sharing in the responsibilities
will in the end prove himself to be a
knave TO his employer as much as he
| IS already a. knave to his fellow work
| ers.
| The Union Label.
| 1.-THE use or non-use of the union
| label by manufacturers depends alto
gether upon the activities of the MEM
bers of our unions to demand union
| made products. Manufacturers and
merchants are successful in the degree
in which they can please purchasers
and consumers. They are not in a po-
| sition to compel any person to purchase
or use any article not to his liking.
| The wage Garner, who as a member of
a trade union seeks tire highest price
and best attainable conditions for his
| labor, should always remember that
any article purchased by him contains
| labor power performed by some other
wage Garner, and that seeking ths best
there is for his own labor, ne owes 1T as
a duty 10 make possible the very best
there is for his fellow wage Garner. BY
making his purchase he is the employer
Of the labor contained in the product.
or at least he makes the employment
possible and should therefore hold
| himself responsible for the conditions
under which the labor entering the
product is performed.
when union men are honest with
themselves and with their fellow work
ers, a decree on the part of the manu-
facturers not to use the label becomes
a farce. Being in business for tlnan-
cial gain, when they refuse to do those
acts which purchasers demand. they
will be crowded out by those better
fitted to measure exaetiens of the con-
sumers.
Some provision should certainly be
made by this convention to enlarge
upon the demand fer union label prod
ucts. Too many of our MEMBERS are
ukewarln and careless. Whenever
all the DEGREES and frothings of the
union haters will completely disappear.
Constitutional Recommendations.
"A the last convention the president
for the first time was placed under sal
airy for his entire time. No conStitu-
tional provision was made for the be-
ginning of such salary term. Your
president was SO employed at the time
of his election that he found it impos-
sihle to leave his former employment
without some reasonable notice Your
executive committee took the matter
under advisement and In the absence
of constitutional provisions set the
salary term from June l, 1908 to June
