PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
TO join WITH LABOR
Passes Strong Resolutions at An
nual Meeting of Great
General Assembly.
Speaks Forcibly in Behalf of Work
Being Done for Unity Of
Church and Labor.

Chicago, u.-Aug. 1O.-Rev. Chas.
stelze Of this city, who has charge Of
the Department Of Labor and Church
for the Board of Home Missions Of the
Presbyterian church, has reason to
feel proud of the endorsement the
recent General Assembly gave his
work.
Mr.. Stelzle Is a member of the
inachinists union, and his sympathies
for trade unions have led him into a
field Of usefulness in the church. The
following Is a copy OF a resolution pas
sed at the Assembly meeting:
"Appreciating the increasing i'm
portance Of the industrial problem, and
realizing that the labor question is
fundamentally a moral and a religious
question, and that 1t VIII never be
settled upon any other basis we re-
commend that the Presbyterial Home
Mission Committees appoint Sub Com
mittees for the purpose of making
systematic study Of the entire problem
in their respective localities.
These Committees shall cooperate
with the newly organized Working
mems Department Of the Board Of
Home Missions, thus establishing, in
connection with the organized Presby-
teriantsm of every city in America, a
board Of experts, who may be able to
inform the churches win respect to
the aims of organized Labor and to
inform the workingmen concerning the
mission of the Church.
These Committees shall also assist
in the already successfully inaugurated
plan Of securing for the churches
fraternal relationships with working
men in their organizations; become re-
sponsible for the distribution of the
literature issued by the Board both for
the membership Of the Church and for
the great mass of worlxingmen outside
Of the Church, and to push aggressive
ly whatever methods may bring about
a more cordial relationship between
the Church and Labor"

t "A capitalist such as Coils P. Hun
tington, and his name Is legion, after
q long life spent in buying the aid OF
countless legislatures, will wax vir-
tuously wrathful, and condemn in ur,-
measured terms the dangerous ten
dency Of crying out to the government
for aid in the way Of labor legisla-
ton. Without 4 CULVER, 4 member Of
the capitalistic group, will run tens Of
thousands Of piiful child laborers
through his life-destroying cotton
factories, and weep naaudlin and con-
stitutional tears over one scab hit In
the back with q brick. He will drive
a compulsory free contract with an
unorganized laborer on the basis of
a starvation wage. saying, take it or
leave it, knowing that to leave 1t
means to die Of hunger. and In the
next breath, when tho organizer en-
tices that laborer into Z union, will
storm patriotically about the inaliena-

THE PRINTERS ISSUE
INTERESTING CIRCULAR
Printers Make Statement to
Business Men in Regard
to Their Label.

The following circular letter has been
issued and is being mailed by Typogra-
ph1cal Union No. 1876 to all business
houses in the city having printing done:
Duluth, Minn., Aug. 8, 1905.
Dear Sirs:-At this time we wish to
call your attention to @Qurll label, and
request that you have it on all your
printing
Our reason for making this request
at this time is owing to an effort
being made by several employing print
ers to eliminate it's use In the city.
We firmly believe it is impossible for
them to succeeeed in this as we are
assured of the support of all the labor
organizations, who are actively inter-
esting themselves in our cause, and by
you using it on any printed matter you
circulate it will be the means of show
ing that You are in sympathy with fair
wages and fair conditions for working
people. This is sure to result in the
patronage Of many Of the 5000 Union
Workmen and their families in the city
of Duluth, which you might otherwise
not enjoy.
There should be no extra charge for
the use Of the label on your printing,
and if there should be it will be done
for the purpose of destroying the en-
blem of a fair days pay for fair
days work.
We urge that you demand the label,
and can assure you that ORGANIZED la
Dor will in turn remember you in ma
terial returns.
Yours very truly,
Label Committee of Typographical

RAILROAD MEN WALK
OUT ON RIO GRANDE
Men Employed on Right-of-
Way Strike for Better Con-
ditions and Wages.

Denver, Aug. 1O.-The full force Of the
strike is now being felt. Members of
the organization generally obeyed the
order to cease work. Both sides are
firm and declare that ooInplete vic
stut 1ys1n 1nt n9ny I'll
trouble that the D. g r. q. has had In
years. =f s.z.:s 5 H.*:, u, s
The Rio Grande road is now in the
throes Of a great strike. It was in
augurated at o'clock Wednesday even
ing by the Maintenance of Way en-
ployes on the system, by order Of Presi-
dent John T. Wilson of that organiza-
tion, who has been here from st. Louis
for some time endeavoring to get the
officials Of the road to come to a. set
tlement with the members of the bro
therhod.
The International Brotherhood Of
Maintenance-of-Way Employees en-
braces those employed on the tracks
and along the right of way of railroads.
It has quite a strong order and has
over a thousand members on the Rio
Grande. For some months efforts have
been made for an increase Of wages
from $1.25 and $40 to $1.75 per day for
section hands and an increase from $50
to SIS per month for foremen, but all
efforts to bring about a settlement fall
ed. and upon a referendum vote Of the
men affected 80 per cent voted to go
out unless their demands were granted.
All high and low officials were appeal
ed to. but without avail
President Wilson has established his
Headquarters at the Grand Central ho-
tel, and is personally conducting the
fight, and feels confident of winning,
as the order has its members on every
branch Of tho Rio Grande system, and
the roadbed will soon be in bad shape.
He says the company has discharged
the members Of the order, and in many
ways tried to break it up. but SO far
have failed.
While Mr.. Wilson's organization is
not affiliated with any Of the other rail-
road organizations; it expects support
from them In many ways.

The Rule of Competition.

II must cut the other fellows throat
and cut it quickly, or he will cut mine" !"
The time Is coming when men will
look back upon the so-called civiliza-
tion of today as having been the most
19eiish snd s5as' ts;az
sooner or later 1t certainly will people
will wonder how we ever managed to
endure a social system so unjust and
unmerciful as the present one is.
We are living today, and have ever
lived, under the rule Of Competition,
and competition means simply this:
Every man for himself and the devil
take the hfndmost.''
Competition means: II must cut the
other fellows throat and cut it quick
", or he will cut mine."
That is what we have been doing
from the beginning Of human society
right down to the present moment
cutting one another's throats.
> Human history, up to date, is the
story of the unbroken struggle Of self
ishness against selfishness, of greed
against greed a struggle in which
man has been pitted against man, like
wild beast against Wild beast.
There is a remedy for this iniqu1tous
old regime, and that remedy is CO.
operation.
Cooperation means mutual goodwill
and helpfulness. Cooperation means
not that men are wild beasts, but that
they are human beings, brothers, whose
business it Is to work together in peace
and harmony for the good which shall
be FOR all.
For all! That is the magic sign by
which we conquer.
The cattle upon a thousand hills the
iron and coal and gold beneath the
hills, the harvest fields that lie tat with
plenty all over the earth-to whom do
they belong If not to all?
Co.opsration, then-co-operation Of
all effort to the end that there may be
participation in the fruits of the ef-
fort-that Is what we should have, and
that Is what, in the fulness Of reason
and right. we are destined to have.

PLEA FOR MORE MONEY
FOR UNION WAR CHEST
American Trade Unions Slow
in Supplying Treasures
With War Fund.
Many a Strike and Lockout
Could eB Avoided if Union
Had Plenty Of oMney.


Money makes the mare co. In:
the race for industrial independence
the trades union resembles the mare.
The trade unions should have money,
and in the aggregate the sum should be
large.
A war chest" is chief requisite
when one nation enters upon a contest
with another nation. AS a. rule, ma
tions when short can borrow. Trades
unions, still lacking the business credit,
cannot borrow except from each other;
then the amounts they can let one
another have are small.
What, then, should be done? The
trades unions should accumulate
through dues channel reserve funds
of sufficient magnitude to make them,
comparatively independent.
There are very few American trades
unions which can maintain their men,
bers in strike or lockout of months
duration without appealing for finan-
cial aid.
Does anyone have to be told that
this is deplorable and absurd state Of
affairs? Especially is such neglect of
necessary part of the program Of
militant trades unionism foolish-yes,
suicidal-at time when employers are
combining and are acumulating large
treasures to be used in fighting trades
unions.
The unions can, If they will, match
the fighting employers war chest; yes.
without hardship or great effort the
unions can go them ten dollars for one.
Here is the practical side Of this
question:
In round numbers there are 2,00O,-
600 organized workmen In the United
States. In a majority of cases the
dues are low. An addition Of one cent
day, paid as a. contribution to g. de-
fense fund by each union member,
would not cause him serious embar-
rassnent. In time he would receive a
1000 per cent return on the invest
ment.
Now, let US make short calculation.
At one cent a day per member the
union defense fund would receive in
one year from ach member $3.65. The
amount paid in one year by the 2,00o,-
900 contributors would be $7,30o.0o0
Allow the fund three years start be-
fore drawing upon it, paying the cur
rent expenses as they are now paid by
the already established sources of rev.
enue, and the collection would amount
to S21, ,900,0 900. Add the ordinary saw
ings bank rate of interest and there
would be at the end of the third year
more TIM $22, 900 in the union de-
fense fund.
Just think Of the power the possess
sion Of such an enormous fund would
give to the American trades unions!
What could they not then do for la
Dor? Remember that the millions
would continue to pour into the fund
even after the third year, and the pay
ments would become still easier as time
passed.
Win strikes! Defeat lockouts!
Strikes and lockouts would become
things Of the past.
When organized labor learns to con-
centrate and use its pennies in the in
dustrial contest, and to marshal it's
forces in the battle Of the ballots, the
labor problem will be settled and
settled right &, s
