THE ENGINEERS
- y - = y - y - y y = y ;

The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers has always held the idea OF
union responsibility in mind. A Broth
erhood contract is as good as govern
uaent bond, and employers we'll know
this fact AS a result the Brotherhood
stands high. The B. l.. E. chartered
the subway employees in New York,
and when the subway men struck in
violation of contract the B. L. E. i'm
mediately took up the charter and re-
pudiated the action of the strikers.
That strike was lost before it was
called.
The engineers have made mistakes,
just like other unions. But they have
always profited by their mistakes
which not all other unions have done.
1t has taken a great many years to
recover ground lost, but the ground
has been recovered. Good judgment,
conservatism, respect for the rights of
others, regard for the sacredness OF
contracts and GOODNESS have marked
the history of the B. L. E. And it is
this that has made the Brotherhood
strong and powerful.
The local division of the B. L. E. is
in unusually good condition. Condi-
tions are very favorable and work is
better than usual. The work of Or
ganizing an auxiliary among the wives
and sisters of the members is prog
ressing quietly but surely, and Mr..
Wiggenjost, who has the matter in
charge, is canvassing the situation
thoroughly.

GETTING TOGETHER
Unionists and Churchmen Brought ir
Closer Touch

The series of peoples meetings
which has been conducted at the
Grand Opera House. Board and Mont
gomery avenue, during the past win
ter, came to an end with the service
last Sunday afternoon. Todd Hall,
chief of detectives of Baltimore, was
the speaker on that occasion, and de-
livered a lecture even more impressive
and entertaining than the one he de-
livered three weeks previously.
This series of meetings has resulted
in bringing a large number of union
men, together with their families, into
closer relations with the interdenomi-
national committee and the men and
women who instituted the meetings.
The net result has been to bring a
great many men and women who knew

the past winter, Is SO much better
that she will entertain the Auxiliary
at it's next meeting, April 81, at her

good idea to show our pleasure over
her recovery by large attendance.
Just a word about our monthly So
cial to be held at the new hall in the
Bohanon block on South Tenth street.
Heretofore the attendance has not
been what it should, which is deplor-
able. Inasmuch as the committee in
charge is working hard to make this
social pleasant and profitable one,
the members should support it's eff
forts by working for good attend
ance The committee has a surprise
in store for us and it will not do to
miss it. Surprises are so enjoyable.
The date is Wednesday evening, April
10. Now ladies, urge your boys" to
arrange to go, and by large attend
ance, make the committee happy.
For the past two or three weeks the
correspondents have had a word to
say in regard to the benefit of the
auxiliary. We wish to add our voice
to theirs, as we have been connected
with the auxiliary since it's inception.
Our association with the other mem
bers and our several meetings with the
husbands and brothers of our sisters
has given to us considerable pleasure,
and we certainly have a fuller appre-
citation of the craft than before our
organization. In it's short career the
| auxiliary has accomplished consider
able-not so much as we had hoped to
| do, perhaps, but enough to show that
| we were right in organizing; in getting
1 together and working together to help
our brothers and ourselves. AS in the
| past we have met with discourage
ments that fretted us, SO we will meet
with such in the future; but, my Sis
| tiers, we must meet them with firm
ness and the will to settle them right
ly and with spirit of love and of JUS
tice. Let us not be too ready to do
that which will cripple our splendid
organization, but bury our individual
likes and dislikes in united and harmo-
NOUS efforts to do our full duty to the
organization which we should love,
cherish and foster.

NEED RESPONSIBILITY
A Minister'S View Of What the Labor
Unions Need

- "tUtSSCT view OF what tnS LABOR
Unions Need
Prof. Walter A. Wyckoff of Prince
ton University, was the speaker last
Sunday Afternoon at the West Side Y.
M. c. A. meeting in the Majestic Thea
ire. New York city. His theme was,
Strikes and Their Relation to Mod
ern Industry" He was introduced as
a college man who had worked as a
day laborer after his graduation to IA
miliarize himself with the conditions
of working people, and in his introduc-
tory remarks he gave a brief resume
OF the experiences detailed in his book
'The Workers" He said in part:
The one salient fact of modern in
dustry is the concentration of capital.
One per cent of the families of this
country own and control more of the
capital that is used in the industrial
work of the country than the remain
ing 80 per cent. AS natural result,
there has come about social cleavage
in industrial society, one class owning
and controlling the instruments of pro-
duction, the other class merely selling
it's labor, whether mental or manual,
skilled or unskilled, for competitive
wages.
These facts made the organization
of labor primary necessity of mod
ern labor. No one familiar with the
industrial history of the mast century
can deny that organization is not only
the right, but the necessity of modern
labor
1.-The strike is often the only means
available for correcting intolerable
conditions, as to the simplest sani-
tary safeguards, for instance, I have
worked sixteen hours day for So
month and my keep, such as it was. ]
often felt like striking, but / could
not, for I was unorganized.
"One of the great needs of organized
labor, however, is greater responsible
ity. With the organization of capital
has come responsibility and the same
should be the case with labor l be-
lieve that the hope for the future de-
ponds primarily upon this-the legal
responsibility of organized labor
Through some method for the incorpo-
ration of organized. labor l believe
there would follow the development of
a Jurisprudence adjusting the relations
of the two classes

THE PAINTERS.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

There is little or no change in the
situation between the union painters
and the boss painters" of the city.
There are three wall paper and paint
ing firms that have signed up and are
employing union men. These three
firms are:
A. CORNELL.
LINCOLN WALL PAPER co
C. E. SICKLE.
Frank w. Brown has also signed the
scale, but his painters are engaged
solely in his mill.
Every union man in the city is at
work, and there is really a need for
more good men. The incompetents
brought In by the misrepresentation
OF the unfair employers are being
weeded out and the unfair employers
are looking vain for men who can do
the work. The following firms have
refused to sign with thep ainters and
are running open shops" with "scab"
help: ..Z
A. NJ. DAVIS co.
HANGER & ROBERTS.
KEENS & SHARP.
E. H. HUTTON co.
w. H. GREEN.
SLOSS BROS.
CARL MEYER.
w. A. BAILEY.
The above declare that they will
run open shops and are searching
the country over for men to assist
them in knocking out the union. Up
to date the union has not felt any bad
effects from the influx OF "scabs" ow
ing to the fact that "scabs" are few
and inferior workmen. Most of the
good workmen brought here by mis-
representation joined the union when
they learned the true condition of af-
fairs, and the rest fastened back to
their homes. AS result the local has
been strengthened by reason of hav-
ing it's position understood and appre-
ciated by the unorganized country
brethren. t."
The men are doing excellent mis-
sionary work for the fair employers
and as a result they are having all the
work they can handle.
Business Agent belong has been
asked by Hastings painters to come
to that city and assist them in the
work of organizing local.

per and painting firms. Now let union

'LiQuozone" is advertised to the ex-
tent of page. in.s Dave Parry'sl In
dustrial Independent, Indianapolis.
The friend of labor's foes is the foe
of labor's friends.
American Industries" the national
organ of the Parryites, is appealing to
advertisers to boycott the labor pa
pers. The Parryites condemn the boy
cot when it is used against them, and
resort to it when they think it will
help them. The Parryite logic is as
crooked as a corkscrew.
The supreme court of Michigan has
declared unconstitutional the law re-
quiring a clause in contracts for pub
lie work requiring union labor. This
suits the Parryites and politicians.
Wonder if that court would hold UNI
constitutional law requiring a speci-
fication for material used in public
work?
