ORGANIZED LABOR ..
AND paThaE& CHURCH
(By Charles sxis;)

(ey Charles sxIs;)
Here comes the editor of a western
socialist paper, who aceuse< me Of try
ing to swing ;workipsnsn into the
church." and immed.il Nv he declares
that I am 1na.ncese id IS 81 motives.
believe that I am ps1ltffectly sincere @:I
do not propose to try it;ssbut: there is
nothing like plainly telling another man
just what you believe and why you be-
Heve it. ->s..
Recently t. declared with emphasis
that stand for organized labor, and
I gave my reasons for :-tnis position.
I'd like to know why it is Inconsistent
for a man to believe In both the trades
union and the church; and If I believe
IN the church, why should I hesitate to
tell men so and try to persuade them
that it is a good thing, Just as would
tell theu that trades unionism is a
good thing?
any sane workingman would believe me
If pretended that I do not care wheth-
er or not he is Indifferent to the church
and that for which it stands.
|. And so would say without. fear of
losing cast with my fellows, that just
as stand for organized labor, so I
stand for the organized church. And
just as I would: persuade a. man to
identify himself with one, so should
saek to have him identify himself with
the other, BECAUSE however, they may
differ in some of their methods, they
have very much in common. rs
The pledge Of the man who unites
with the American Federation Of Labor,
commits him to- s::..the emancipation OF
our class from poverty, ignorance and
selhshness: to be respectful in word
and action to. every woman: to be con-
sidered to- the widow and the orphan,
the weak and the defenseless; and new
er to discriminatez against q fellow
worker on accouutaof creed; color or ma
tionality- To: defend freedom of
Thought, whether expressed By tongue
or pen. To educate ourselves and our
fellow worker In the history Of the Ia
Dor movement To promise that we will
never knowingly wrong brother or see
him wronged;% If In our power to pre-
vent it. We9will endeavor to subordin. .
ate every selfish impulse to the task Of
elevating the material, intellectual and
moral conditions, Of the entire l4boring
class"
Every Christian man and woman
could subscribe to these principle. There
is nothing in them that is contrary to
tho pledge Of the man who joins the
church. Need. be ashamed. there
fore. Of asking q man to identity him

Lord Baltimore was formerly plain

raised to the peerage he took a trip
to the Riviera. The French railway
company reserved n carriage for his
private use. At some unknown hour
of the night the door of the carriage
was suddenly opened. a lantern was
flashed upon him, and a voice sharply

morning at daylight.
The chase was cruel and later on led
to quarrels wherein men lost their
lives. For five miles each hunter pur
sued the black horse at top speed and
then he rested. Confident of bis speed
and strength, the lone horse moved off
with d defiant air. There was not a
moments rest for him all day long.
Three or four times he buried his
muzzle in the ice cold waters Of the
creeks as he came to them. The com
ing Of night gave him no relief. 1t
was moonlight and the chase still con.
tinued.
For seventy miles the black horse
held his course up the valley. Then
he turned and retraced his steps Again
he went up the valley, but when he
had covered fifty miles he stopped aud
stood at bay. lie had done all that
horse could do, and more He had
covered 100 miles Of distance almost
without breaking his gait. When he
stopped, signals We're given for the
men above and below to close in, and
by and by there were u dozen IN
Il circle around him. Lassos We're
made ready, but the men quarreled
among themselves as to who had the
best right. While the war of words
was going on the black horse could
have wheeled and broken through, but
he realized that his race was run. 1t
was bright moonlight, and he stood
blowing the steam from his nostrls,
and his head was never held higher.
His limbs trembled, but with weak
ness instead of fright. His eyes had
lost their fire, but the race he had run
was to be talked about for twenty
years to come.
Suddenly three or four men began
to whirl their lassos and others pre-
pared to shoot, and it was then that
the black horse uttered a sobbing
neigh, tossed bis proud head high and
sank down with a sigh and was dead
ere any man had laid hand on his fore
lock. Captivity was not for him.
