orIrLn Of the Picnic.

so far as English is concerned. Toward
the close of the eighteenth century the
French used the word picque-nique (of
obscure Derivation for social enter
tainment to which each guest con-
tributed a share Early in the next
century the English appeared to dis
cover that this form Of social cooper

an English woman is the tallest and

PURPOSE ON UNIONISM.

1t is necessary for some alleged
unionists and some alleged unions
to learn that unionism is not a
scheme by which a few in a ring or
limited number in an OrganiZa.
ton may benefit themselves at the
expense of the many.
All true union men are bound
by honor to try to get all the com
petent and worthy workers at their
trade in the union. They are also
bound to establish such conditions
within the union as will give every
member an equal opportunity with
the rest to get work mt the union
rate of wages.
Unionism is a movement whose
aims include far more than the
success of Il few in acquiring for
themselves Il dollar or SO more a
week with an hour or so less in
the working day. If this were all
uniOnism meant the mass would do
well to fight the principle. The
majority would see in it their detri-
ment. Not until union recog.
niZes the interests of all the quail
fled and honest workers at trade
is it worthy of respect.
The uplifting not of few indi-
viduals, not of narrow minded
set of men, but of the entire mass
of the working classes, is the final
purpose of unionism.
The system of union organiza-
ton, the arrangement of union
mechanism, the methods of union
self-preservation, are to be seen in
their best development in some of
the older unions. New unions and
raw unionists must respect expert
ence. BY studying what has been
successfully done, those who are
CROPPING their way upward through
union effort may learn where to
initiate and what to avoid.
The very first thing for new
unions to initiate in the older
unions is unity. That means lust
what the word eXpresscs-not the
clubbing togethsr of Il CLIQUE,
not the organization of few pre-
ferred stockholders, not even the
sclf-election of a considerable BODY
of men looking simply to their own
interests, but the union of all for
the benefit of each and all.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

What are you doing, or what do
you intend to do, towards making
success of the A. +. of l.. politi-
cal campaign7 Do you; as Il trade
unionist, realize that it is your
duty to support this movement.
regardless of party af1iila-
tions No matter whether you be-
lieve in high tariff or free trade, i'm
gold standard or free silver, that is
no reason why you should not sup
port the program outlined by the
authorized and recognized leaders
of the laboring people. If you be-
lieve the prosperity of the country
depends upon high tariff and the
gold standard, don't get it into
your head, nor allow any one else
to put into your head, that in sup
porting the labor program you en-
danger the gold standard or high
tariff; or, if you believe that we
should have free trade and free
silver, don't think for one minute
that to supporting the A. +. of l.. IS
program that you retard the pro-
grcss Of the measures. The success
or defeat of labor's political effort
will have absolutely no affect OH
these party principles which have
divided the laboring people in the
past. If this movement is a sue
cess we shall find Republican,
Democrats and Independents
elected to Congress to fight for
labor's rights in the nations law
making body. Therefore. we can
rest assured that there will be suf-
ficent difference of opinion among
these men on tariff and other
party issues that laboring men need
have no fear in that regard. We
should bear in mind that this
movement is test of labor,s
strength. If it succeeds, congress
men and senators, of all parties.
Will no longer ignore labor's rights
in framing legislative measures.
But if it fails the enemies of labor
will be couraged in their policy of
making laws that are positively in
1mlcal to the rights and welfare of
the American workingmen. Are
you going to allow "party loyaltv'
to inveigle you into supporting
labor'S enemies Don't treat this
matter lightly. If you fail to take
advantage OF this opportunity to
rebuke labor'S enemies and reward
labor's friends, you might regret it

no possible excuse that can justify
a trade unionist in failing or re-
fusing to support this political
movement of the A. f. of l.. We
trust, therefore, that if labor has a
candidate or endorses a candidate,
on any party ticket, that each and
every workingman in that locality
will give his supportto labor's repre-
sentative. Let us show the leaders

ARE NOT PROGRESSIVE.

Some people are satisfied with
conditions as they exist so long as
they get something to eat, drink
and wear; others express them
selves as not being Satified. but
lend no effort toward advancement,
and kick against the efforts and
progress made by the aggressive
ones. The latter class NAV he
termed hangers They either
lack the ability to advance and are
enviouS of those who have the abil-
ity and exercise it, or they do not
want to progress, and out of pure
cussedness they try to stifle the eff
forts of those who do.

barnacles clinging to its hull. and
the trades unions are blessed with
goodly share, and it is the fact
that they have to carry this load
that prevents that greater progress
that ought to come to the trades
unions from the energy that is put
forth by the active and energetic
members
The trades unions are supplied
with engines of the highest pres

great is the friction and resistance
offered that it takes the major part
OF the power invested in the engine
to turn its own crank. and little is
left for application to other needy
and pressing departments.

If you buy non-union goods;
when union products can be OBJ
tanned, you are helping to keep
some non-unionist in Il job. and
trying TO keep some union man
out of a job. In other words, you
are practically doing what the
ille-breaker does. And you are
doing it in such an underhand way
that you are not even called a
hero. 1t has been said that Il little
child asking for the label on goods

vancement of unionism than Il man

has to be met by the great enthus-
last, because were it not for the
and the engine left to
its own sweet will, with the pres
sure from the boiler, would run it
self to smash. The same thing
would occur in trades unions, and
for that reason the all-secing Crea-
tor placed in association the rcck-
less enthusiast and the sober head
ed, slow-going, and clearer-sighted
minds. The former, by his ever
efferyescing temperament, would
keep things at boiling over point,
while the stcadier head pours in
enough cool, sober judgment to
keep the safety valve from blow
ing off and wasting accommodating
energy, thus maintaining steady
pressure of progress.
Were it not for the Indifferent,
non-progressives and envy of the
hangers on, the efforts Of the en-
thusiast and moderate combina-
ton would result in much greater
good for all. Can we not all be be
progressive? We can if we will
but try. Let us push, push, push,

possible development of aims and
objects we hope to attain.
