A REFORMERS APPRECIATION
OF JUDAISM,

To this day there is fresh inspir-
alton, there is living power in the
story of Moses, because his career
was a perfect embodiment of that
great truth that mans social welfare
is religions chief concern.
Moses made himself the benefac-
tor of all ages when he taught that
the land problem is the fundamental
problem. He set an instructive ,ex-
ample to our modern statesmen when
he instituted his measures to pre-
vent land monopoly.
No religion can do it's full duty to
society without teaching as Moses did
that the land Of nation should be
treated as the gift of God and that
its tenure should be so guarded as to
give full protection to the rights of
all Gods children.
Moses way of solving the land
problem was to cause a redistribution
of the land every fifty years. That
might do in primitive agricultural
community. For highly complex
society like ours 1t would be out of
the question. The greatest economic
problem of today is to carry out the
spirit of Moses land legislation by
methods that shall be just and prac-

and attributable in no wise to the
philanthropy Of the employers or to
their sense of justice. The great
public is beginning to realize that the
elevation of the masses can be
brought about by trades unionis.

otism and lots Of Fourth of July ora

THEIR EXPERT LlNOTYpER GONE

by those who had business to do with
him made him decide that life was
too short to longer remain in Du-
luth. He visited typographical
union headquarters a short time be-
fore leaving and stated that he had
had enough of that kind of business
and his experience here would prove
a valuable lesson to him. He left
the machines in perfect condition and
therefore the ''tea-potters" have no
complaint on that score. His con-
tract with them contained some very
peculiar clauses and in our humble
opinion would not hold in law. I'm
der said contract he was to get $5
per week and 10 per cent of the net
profits. Our contention in a recent
issue that the composition done by
this concern would cost the Typo
thetae 333 per cent. more than un-
der the old order of things is borne
out my explanation Of. the con-
tract. Expert linotypers do not
claim that machine can turn out
to exceed $50 worth of composition
per week. After paying this man $a
and allowing for metal, gas, power,
light, rent, interest, depreciation,
ETC., it can easily be figured out that
the Typothetae are really up against
it. Probably they are glad he left.
No doubt it will hasten their settle
ment with the printers and it has
always been the opinion of those who
have given the matter any thought
that the two machines would be
taken by the News Tribune and
Herald respectively. 1t Is to be re-
gretted that some of the Typothetae
members, who down in their hearts
wish that they had never entered in
to this controversy, will not throw
their false pride aside and come out
from under the spell cast over them.
Before the strike they. were prom
ised all the help they wanted and
they gave their old employees to un-
derstand that they had the men ready
to take their places. What success
they have had is we'll known. We'd
hate to succeed that way. 1t would
not build city nor turn out much
job work, neither has it and today
the output of job printing in the
Typothetae offices is 40 per cent less
than before the strike, while the out
put of the offices who have signed
the printers agreement has increas-
ed SO per cent. Just how long these
members of the Typothetae v
stand for this state of affairs is prob
lematical, but reasonable men would
be inclined to look at the matter
from business standpoint and con-
clude as did Mr. Jensen that il was
to his best interests to join hands
with the Typographicals uniofl - : fa1t,

On Account Of the Scarcity of
Expert Men Of This Kind
Trouble Is Looked for in
Getting a Suitable Man.

Another week has passed and finds
the striking printers as firm and de-
termined as ever. But one desertion
from their ranks has occurred since
the strike was inaugurated.
Throughout the country the condition
of affairs is similar to that in Duluth.
In Chicago the Corbett Railway
Printing Co., employing large num-
ber Of men has signed the scale. This
Is considered quite a victory for the
Typos, and is looked upon as the be-
ginning of the end. Two hundred
and eighty-five cities an dtowns have
and, eighty-five cities and towns have
has yet been lost and the Typothetae
have no reason to congratulate them
selves on single victory. Poor fell
lows, it must be a sad condition that
they find themselves in. No ray of
hope to cheer them on. Only con-
stant defeat all along the line. They
cling with bull dog tenacity to the
faint hope that they will tire the
men. Make yourselves Christmas
present by lettering the conditions
of your business in the signing of the
reasonable demands of the Typogra-
phical union.
The New York job printers go out
on Jan. 1st. Old No. 6 is we'll pre-
pared for the fight and no doubt it
will be of short duration. Such pro-
prietors as DeVinne who have many
times expressed a preference for
union men can scarcely afford to be
inconsistent now. Here's to the sue
cess of old Number Six.
There was something akin to con-
sternation last Monday morning
when the Duluth Typesetting Co.. an
organization formed for the purpose
Of equipping a linotype office and
helping the Typothetae break the
job printers strike, found that the
expert whom they had placed in
charge, had left for Chicago, not to
return. During the last few days he
had been prevailed upon to throw
up the job and this together with
growing dissatisfaction ON his part

competent help and bring to stop
the constant strain of combating
the union and its legion of friends
in Duluth.
At their meeting on Sunday after
noon last the Typographical union
unanimously Increased the benefit be-
ing paid the strikers from IS and 81 to
$s and $10. The increase will not ne
cessitate any advance in the assess
ment being levied on those working.
for the present, Some Of the teapot
ters" have consoled themselves With
the thought that because of a section
in the I. T. U. bylaws in which strike
benefits are only supposed to be paid
for two months, that at the END OF
that time the strike would collapse.
Well, the two months have expired
and the union is still as determined
as ever and has taken the action as
above stated The "teapotters" have
had their hope shattered and know not
where to look for consolation next
They must remember that they are
fighting an organization that Will
never give up.
There is scriptural quotation
which says that Bread cast upon the
waters shall return after many days..
We don't know whether this Is just
exactly correct or not. But what we
want to say is that in 1896 the Boil
ermaters of Minneapolis were In trou-
BILE and asked aid from the Typo
graphical union Of that city. A prompt
response to the appeal was made and
a substantial donation received. When
the striking job printers of Duluth an
nounced their dance recently held the
Boilermakers at the head Of the lakes
remembering the generosity of the
printers to their brothers in Mime
apolis decided to appropriate $500 to
the cause of the printers here. For
this kindness the printers wish
through the Labor World to publicly
express their gratitude. Actions of
this kind serve to draw union men to-
gether in a kindly sympathy and all

The pure land values OF New York
city amount to three and a half bill
lions. Mr.. Louis F. Post has trans
lated these values into terms of ag-
ricultural lands. Take, as a typical
farm, a hundred acres worth fifty
dollars an acre. 1t would take a
strip of these five thousand dollar
farms, one mile wide and reaching
four times around the globe to equal
the land values of New York city.
But the point is, these values are
not created by their owners. They
are different from other values. They

UNIONS HELP THE HOME.
lRy Goo. w. Perkins.l

(6y Geo. w. PerkinS.)
Trade unions have done more to i'm
prove the home life and social and ma
terial well-being of women than5 any
other agency or institution. AS the
husband Or fathers days work is short
ened, the wife's labors are correspond .
ingly reduced and brought into shor :
ter compass.
Women are benefited more, If that is
possible, by the good results of trade
unions than the men, hence should do
their part in building up and fostering
the trades union movement. A certain
we'll known writer now in the employ
OF the United States Government, re-
Gently brought out the interesting fact
that the number Of marriages fell off
greatly during the periods of Industrial
activity. This all proves that the more
the men earn the greater the number
Of marriages. 1t must be dull mind
indeed which cannot understand that
the more the men receive in wages the
more they Will have to spend upon the
family In making life worth living, the
home more: cheerful. The more time
the man will spend in 1t and away from
the saloon and other places where he
should not be. 5,-.s
The only way for man and women to
get better wages is through the trades
union system of organization. Trades
unionists who receive fair wages are
enabled to furnish better homes. Bet
ter homes makes better women. Better
women make the whole world better.
The unionist can afford to and does
send his children to school longer.
Well educated children make better
citizens. The world has been made
better by the trades union movement.
1t is the duty Of every woman to do
all that she. can to assist the workers
or organize, whether they be male or
female. Every woman who works in
any gainful occupation should be q
member Of the union OF her craft. In
doing so she is first helping herself
morally, materially and intellectually:
second, doing her share to make the
world better insevery way and life more
attractive and the better worth living.
Every time woman does. something
to encourage the use Of union labels she
Is working directly In her own inter-.
ests. Every time esshs does anything to
strengthen the trades union movement
she strengthens and fortifies her own :
position for better social and economic
surroundings
