THE UNITY OF LABOR;
A BASIC PRINCIPLE.

Despite the downpour Of rain, OF
which. by the way, New York has
had a great deal moro than its share
in the last month, the cohorts of or
ganized labor turned out yesterday
and pursued their march down Fifth
avenue amid banks Of cheering spec
tators on either side. Fifteen thou
sand men, they say, were in the pro-
cession, which, indeed, was impress
sive enough for twice the number.
Marching long distances In the rain
Is not exhilarating, and yet that the
members Of the labor unions of this
city did 1t is only In accord with the
general principle on which organized
labor is founded. Duty and loyalty to
the organization always must and do
take precedence to personal comfort.
There are many things which the in
dividual might perhaps avoid doing In
the cause OF labor II he had not been
taught that it Is not the individual but
the union that must be first regarded,
that not self but brotherhood is the
dominant consideration.
For our part we believe, notwith-
standing the magnificents showing
made under such untoward circum-
stances, that organized labor Is
still in its infancy. It has had,
and doubtless will have, it's tribula-
tons and its setbacks, and yet no one
can doubt that to-day it is strongest
in the industrial world than ever be-
fore. II there be no such spectacular
organizations as were once led by Mr..
Powderly or Mr.. Debs, there are a
vastly greater number Of men in plod-
ding, cautious organizations seldom
engaged in strikes, but always climb
ing upward toward higher and better
conditions.
1t would be a sorry thing for work.
ing people II the basic principle of
the unity of labor should be forgotten.
Out of that they can best achieve
their own prosperity, and to that prin.
ciple nobody who works for a wage
should fail to subscribe.

GIVE US MEN.
BY Josiah Gilbert Holland.

God, Give us men! A time like this
demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith
and ready hands;
Men whom the lust Of office does not
kill;
Men whom the spoils Of office can
not buy:
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor-men who
will not lie:
Men who can stand before a dema-
gogpe
And damn his treacherous flat
ter1es without winking!
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live
above the fog
In public duty. and in private
thinking;
For while the rabble, with their thumb
worn creeds,
Their large professions and their IT.

Mingle in strife, 10! Freedom weeps
Wrong rules the land, and waiting

ARE YOU OF ANY
USE TO THE UNlQN2

A lesson that every union man
should take to heart is the fact that
the success. Of the labor movement
depends on the individual effort of it's
members. 1t is just in proportion as
the average member takes an interest
in his organization that it will pro-
gress or "retrograde. The man who
seldom attends a meeting Of the I'M
ion, who 10 always backward in his
duties, and only knows by hearsay as
to what Is transacted, is really of
more use outside the organization than
in. 1t is the man who recognizes that
he owes a duty to his union, who en-
courages the others BY his presence
and who takes an interest in the pro-
ceedings that aids in the work and
makes progress not only possible but
assured. Every man has his own part
to perform and his own duty to carry
out; no other member can do it for
him. If he absents himself from tho
meeting there is a vacant seat and
one less In attendance. Every men,
Der should be a factor and count:
there is no life in an organization
whose members are dead or sleeping,
If it is worth while to belong to a
trade, union 1t is, worth while to do
ones share in making it a success. Ev-
cry union is just exactly, what it's
members make tit will recognize
their responsibilities and honor, dead
or alive, progressive or impotent. Just
in proportion as it's members live up
to them.

The Improvement In the condition

HOW TO PURIFY POLITICS,

One Of the great evils that has
grown up under representative gov
eminent is a corrupting lobby that
infests the halls Of legislation. The
province Of the corporation lobbyist
Is to beg, bulldo4e. or steal through
the legislative body some law that
will enable the few to plumber the
many. The strongest argument that
can be used for the Referendum and
the Initiative is the fact that in cities
and states that have adopted the Re-
ferendum system, the corrupt lobby
can no longer be of service to the
greater corruptors, who furnish the
railroad passes and much greater in
ducements. whereby the representa-
tives of the people are led to stultify
themselves and, misrepresent their
constituents.
The Referendum is death to the
lobbyist. His nefarious occupat ton
vanishes, for the peoples veto makes
his work valueless. Yea more than
that. the fear Of the Referendum acts
:as a preventative Of corruption and ex-
pertence shows that 1t is therefore un-
necessary to invoke it except upon
such few occasions, when public opin-
ion is divided and a strong element
Of the electorate demand that a vote
be taken.
With the corrupt lobby abolished
the representatives Of the. people are
, free to take the advice and Assistance

on WHAT THE SUCCESS
OF UNION LABOR DEPENDS

To succeed, organized labor must
have something more than numbers;
it must have q union Of hearts, prin-
ciples. aims and purposes. The word
unity itself suggests the absence OF
all discord and Indifference. Where
Indifference and discord exists there
can not be true unity; and if there
be not true unity we can not expect
to accomplish the purpose for which
we are organized nor enjoy the bene-
fits that can be gotten only by thor
ough organization. Neither cap there
be thorough organization as long as in
dividuals set up standard Of union
ism for themselves, according to their
own IDEAS regardless Of the will Of
the majority Of their fellow trades
men. In our opinion there Is nothing
more despicable than the so-called
union man who is heard to say, I'm
done with the organization; I don't
like the action they took on such and
such a matter and I'm not going to
belong to it any more" With all re-
spect to such people we say that they
do not possess any union principle.
and never did. If each and every one
Of US should make our membership
in the union dependent upon the I'M
ion doing everything according to our
view Of things, and should quit the
union just as soon as it took any. &C.
ton not in accord with our personal
views, we would never be able to gath
err strength enough to make a noise.
We look upon the Independent work.
man" as a scab; but he can claim to
be a union man according to his own
standard Of unionism. 1.-THE greatest
good to the greatest number" is the
guiding principle Of every true labor
organization, and. this greatest good"
must be determined by the majority
rule: II then g. man refuses to abide
by the majority rule and gives up his
membership In the organization and
attempts to create dissension among
its members, we can not see wherein
he Is superior to the Independent
workman" Such men take advantage
Of such excuses just to get out Of
paying dues to the organization. At
heart they really do not care what
action the organization takes On any
matter, but it hurts them to pay their
mite to the union; therefore, they seek
an excuse to quit the organization and
leave the impression, so they think,
that they believe in union principles
but that their idea and conception Of
union principles Is so far superior to
the majority Of their fellow trades
men that they do not consider them
worth associating with any longer.
When you hear such men talking,
tell them plainly that they are no
good and that II they want to prove
that they possesses any principle or
manhood to go and join the union of
their craft and abide by the rule of
the majority. No excuse justifies
man in remaining on the outside. and
he has no right to expect the respect
of his fellow workmen If he does.

1T Is to labor, and to labor only,
that man owes everything possessed
of exchangable value. Labor is the
talisman that has raised him from the
condition Of the savage; that has
changed the desert and the forest in
to cultivated fields; that has cover
ed the earth with cities, and the ocean
with ships; that has given us plenty,
comfort and elegance, instead Of
want, misery and barbarism."

The first defense We can set up in
behalf OF organized labor is that it
promotes the general welfare Of men.
It aims to make men feel that to be
true and good and useful is more
praiseworthy than to gather up riches
for selfish enjoyment, regardless Of the
injustice done to others in acquiring
such riches.
