to be on the unfair" list after the
first of the year: From Printers Ink
we learn that Success" and INC
Clures'' have been urging their ad-
vertisers to let them have copy for
February and March numbers early
in the month, because Of anticipated
trouble in their composing rooms
commencing January LIST. 1t remains
to be seen If these very proprietor
magazines will adopt such suicidal
to be seen If these very popular
among the wage earners will have a
tendency to make them hesitate.
Probably it is only a scheme to get
advertisers during the dull months
succeeding the holidays.

ward just now. but a pretty contest
is predicted before election. r.. D. NC
Kercher is the Republican candidate,
and his opponent, w. e. McEwen is
promised good fight to retain his seat
az representative from the Fifth ward.
Mr.. McEwen, however, Is not losing
any sleep about the outcome. He is
willing to stand on his record in the
Council. If he has not always done
the polite thing he has ever tried to
do the right thing, and this without
fear or favor. The people of the ward
will surely appreciate this, and will
give him their endorsement at the elec-
ton. Party politics will cut little fig
ure in this contest.
It will be Alderman Charles Mork in
the Sixth ward. His opponent Charles
]. Skoglund may be a good man and
a strong man, but Mr.. Mork is much
better and for this reason he will be
elected.
They are trying to defeat Roland
Haven down in the Seventh ward, but
the little politicians who are after him
do not appreciate what a valuable man
he is in the city council. Possibly they
are blinded by petty party difficulties.
In any event Haven ought to be re-
turned, because the city needs a lot
of men just like him.
1t Is foregone conclusion that John
Ekiund will be the next Alderman from
ponent can not expect to reach him
in a fair contest.

POINTS, FOR
ORGANIZED LABOR
BY the Rev. Charles Stelzle.

BY the Rev. Charles Stelzle.
In arguing for the value of trade
unionism, the average friend of Or
ganized labor frequently makes the
mistake of discussing questions which
are debatable, and concerning which
there will probably always be diff
ference of opinion. No doubt these
debatab1e questions have their place
in q full discussion of trades union
ism, but for the sake of q better
understanding of the aims and OBJ
jects of organized labor, it would
seem to be more tactful and more
logical to first talk about what It has
accomplished. There, are many mat
tiers with which organized labor has
to do, concerning which there can
be absolutely no dispute. Trades un-
ionists would make more friends for
their. cause among the public, II they
presented more frequently the eth
ical value Of their organizations.
For instance, one might proclaim
the fact that labor halls have come
to be important social centres Here
helpful lecture courses on moral and
economic subjects are frequently
given. The labor press has its edu-
cative value. Many Of the labor
journals, especially those published

THE WATER MAIN TAX.

1t is possible that the contention
of the political committee of the
Trades and Labor Assembly in re-
gard to the frontage tax for water
mains will be adopted by the Board
of Water and Light commissioners.
The injustice of the present method
is apparent to any man who has the
least spark of justice in his anatomy.
OF course it is probable that the real
estate men who are the agents for
large blocks of vacant property own
ed by outsiders will try and defeat
any proposition that will do away
with the present unjust system. Ma
turally they have no objection to
having the water main in front of
their property so that when the time
comes to make improvements they
can readily connect with the same
with only the ordinary expense at
tendant, and to change the present
way of doing business would neces-
sarily put some expense on them.
The extension of water mains un,
der the proposed method will natur-
ally have the tendency to induce
more people to use the city water
instead of having to get their supply
from unsanitary wells or the water
peddeled around the streets with
wagons. 1t will cause more homes to
be built. 1t will make it necessary
for outsiders to improve their prop
erty in the way of building, thereby
reducing the rents which are at the
present abnormally high. The fair
ness, the justice and the necessity
of such a method as proposed needs
very little discussion and our only
wonder is that it has not appealed
to our citizens before.

A GOOD DECISION,

The highest court in the state o.
New York has just decided that en-
ployers who hire union labor under
an agreement with unions as to the
time of work, rate of wages and good
standing in the respective unions,
are made liable by the contracts and
have no loophole out of which to
crawl and make their shop :'open.'
The decision affects hundreds of
cases now in court.-Exchange.
This is good law and common
sense and is applicable to labor un-
ions also. A higher standard of un-
ionism would be established If every
union would live strictly up to- their
contracts. They would grow greatly
In public esteem. OF course we ad-
NIT that there have been cases when
through stress of circumstances It
became absolutely necessary to break
contracts, but as general PROPOSE
ton it is not necessary. If you
make a contract live up to it and
take the consequences. When it ex-
pires you will have gained by your
experience wisdom to have the new
one made more to your advantage. -.

"CI,OSED" CONTRACTS
0. K.

An important decision pertaining to
the employment Of men who are men,
bers of labor unions was rendered ear
ly last week by the New York court
of appeals.
The decision holds THAT employers
who hire union labor under an agree
ment with unions as to the time of
work. rate of wages and good stand
ing in the respective. unions are made
liable by the contracts and have no
loop hole out of which to crawl and
make their shop open" The de-
cision affects hundreds of cases now
in the court.
Meny- Jacobs. president of Protect
i've Coat Tailors and Pressers' union
No. IS, New York city, sued Norris
and Louis Cohen, contracting tailors,
on contract which the Cohens made
in employing members Of the union
four years ago. In it the Cohens
agreed to employ none but members
Of the union in good standing at Ger
tain rates of wages and for certain
hours and not to employ any other
men. Cohen gave a. note of 5000,
which was to be applied to liquidate
any damages in case of violation of
the contract.
The union and the contractors
quarreled later and the Cohens at
once made an "open shop" The &C
ton was then begun against them for
damages.
The defense commended that the
| contract was illegal and against pub
| lie policy, in that it was in restraint
Of trade. Justice Garretson in special
term Of the supreme court, in Brook
Ign, sustained a demurrer made by
the plaintiffs, holding the contract
was legal. An appeal was then taken
by the defendants to the appellate
Lewiston Of the supreme court, which
! reversed the decision of Judge Gar
retson.
An appeal was taken to the court
of appeals. and the decision recorded
! by that tribunal reverses the order Of
the appellate division and declares
that the contract is legal and that
! employers are bound by such con-
! tracts.

by y 1nternationals, give courses ii
technical training. A real moral up-
lift comes through, the, regular meet
ings of the union, because a man
must present his facts In q definite,
tangible form, II he hopes to win
over his associates to his beliefs. Ev-
cry man has a fair chance to preach
these views, no matter how unpop"
ular they may. be. Nowhere does a
man get> a more patient hearing than
at labor union meeting. Here, too,
he learns the lesson of subordtna-
ton to the Wills of others. He
learns the value of team work.
Of cooperation.
In the labor movement the work
ingman learns the lesson of thrift.
Rarely does trades unionist apply
to organized charity or any other
form of charity for relief. Talk
about the value of the trades union
as force for temperance. You can
easily make a strong argument In
this direction. The question of the
education and the Americanizing of
the immigrant must be discussed in
favor Of the trades union. The re-
port of the Labor Commissioner in
the Bulletin of January 1905 clear
ly proves this.
Child labor, the sweat shop, I'M
sanitary conditions in shop and home
are all questions concerning which
trades unionism need not be asham-:
ed to speak.
Having clearly established these
points, it will be easier to discuss
the measures through which these
ends have been and shall be secured.
An intelligent presentation of the
broader work of organized labor
must win to it's support the thous-
ands of impartial me nand women
whose endorsement will be Of great
value to the cause.
