Bryan'S Fidelity.

Btempts to make it appear that

correspondent of the New York press, he
declares himself on the Trust question in a
manner that leaves no room for doubling
his fidelity
There is some talk of controlling the
trusts. You might as well talk of controlI-

THE LOYAL MEMBER.

Many unionists who feel them
selves to be loyal members would
become indignant if accused of dis
loyalty, yet by word and act they
are daily guilty OF dislOyalty, says
All exchange. Loyalty is not con
fined TO the payment of dues or
the simple performance of duties
members are selected 10 do.
The do-nothing member is more
loyal than the member whose acu-
viticS are n source OF injury to his
organization. The loyal member
places the welfare Of his organiZa-
ton above difference of opinion or
personal or other differences be
tween other members or officials.
He is an honest critic, but never Il
malicious "knockcr," and never
seeks to sacrifice or destroy his
union 10 correct trivial faults or
impcrfections that may have been
demonstrated to exist i'll its cOnsti.
tuition or policy.
He seeks TO eliminate errors and
evils by safe and sane methods not
calculated to interfere with the
continued upbuilding Of his union.
His activities are constructive, not
obstructive and destructive. He
is Il practical exponent Of the con.
Stitution which governs his union,
and Il supporter of its policy. The
loyal member is unalter;tbly OPP
posed TO violation of agreements or
denying or evadimg any obligation
the unicn may assume.
Loyalty does not demand that Il
member .jcopardizc his Independent
interests. Nevertheless, anything
that the loyal member can do to
promote the welfare of his union
consistent with the means and time
ut his disposal and without undue
interference with his other rcSpon-
sibilitieS and affairs, he willing un-
dcrtakes. Indeed, there is large
number of unioniSts whose loyalty
entails much personal sacrifice. In
every emergency the loyal mem
bcrs are the hIlwark of the union.
Not only are they the Notifications
around which the storm and stress
of battle Surgcs, but they are bur-
den bearers, builders and main
tainerS of organization.

WHERE WILL THEY STOP !?

AS though food products are not
yet high enough i'll Charleston and
vicinity We hear on all sides that
they will continue TO increase and
that by the first of the year the in
crease will be from 20 to 40 per
cent. If wages don't increase
proportionatcly it is going to be IL
pretty hard matter for some people
TO exist. This fact ought to cause
nuu-union worlimen To think hard
Their wages remain stationary.
while there is some chance for the
organized men to gain increased
pay and keep their heads above
water. Another fact that should
not bc lost sight of is that the pres
ent situation confronts the people
because they have turned the
country over to the trusts TO run
and the lattor naturally raised
prices, pass fat dividends and
boasts of their "proSpcrity''.
The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1906-12-06

We like to work and we like to
see others work, but we just arise
to remark that when we get to be
worth as much money as some we
know work with us will cease.
We could never discover why men
of 60 add 40 years of age and worth
from 100000 to 100000 should
continue to toll from early to late
and in all kinds of weather. We
like to see men provide for their
families after they are gone, but
the average boy is better off if not
left too much property. You who
have labored your three score yeals
should stop work and enjoy life
the few short years you have left
TO remain with us.
The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1906-12-06

Nothing has been brought to
labor upon Il silver plate. The
progress and achievements, the
material advantages secured have
been those which labor conquered
by organization, by self-Sacrifice,
by consequent growing intelligence
and determination of the wage
workers themselves. That this
has proven true in the past is
clearly manifest, and it follows that
by Il close adherence TO that course
i'll the future will the toiling masses
daily draw nearer the full monday
of their disenthIallmcnt. Conscious
of the duty devOlving upon us,
thoroughly imbued with high aims
and noble purposes, and satisfied
beyond all prcadventure of final
triumph, let us all nerve ourselves
to the high resolve to approach our
labor, to dare and do that which
will bring light, hope and encour-
agement into the lives and the
homes of the toilers of West Vir.

A WRONG IMPRESSION.

How eagerly several corporation
controlled newspapers have seized
upon the fact that VIM. IL. Det-
trey and several other officials of
the United Mine Workers of.
America in Pennsylvania would
not be candidates for reelection to
prove that the miners organization
was disintegrating, and would soon
90 to pieces. This is about as far
from the truth as would be the
statement that George i. Baer is
to be candidate for John
Mitchell's place.
The miners may be little luke
warm i'll few isolated districts,
but that they are deserving the
union in large numbers is 4 mis-
statement. Unquestionably the
mining corporations would be de-
Lighted were such the fact, for it
would enable them to begin work
at crushing the miner when the
present agreement is terminated.
But when that time comes the
United Mine Workers of America
will be found standing solidly and
immovable behind John Mitchell,
and so they will stand until their
every demands have been complied
with.

The PROGRESSIVE MAN,

l
In the history of the world there
was never greater demand than
at present for the progressive man.
He is the man of the hour, and the
supply of him will never equal the
demand until every toiler of the
land is within the trades union
fold and adheres to the principles
and policies thereof. The progress
sivc man is the man who leads, the
man who takes the initiative in
everything, the man who is the
pioneer of modern progression. He
never waits until somebody else
makes 4 move, but when there is Il
move to be made he makes it, and
then thinks about it afterwards.
He doesn't talk very much, as Il
rule, nor does he waste any time
seeking the advice of others before
he starts out in his undertakings.
To think is to act with him, and
as soon as his fertile brain has con
ceived a notion his hands and heart
are ready TO put it into execution.
With him, as with others, heSita-
ton is a losing game, so he plays
none of it i'll his. He believes he
is right from the start, and the be
lief is often the guiding star which
carries him successfully through.
In every station of life and class of
humanity there lisa crying need for
the progressive man and Il clamor
for his presence and aid. He is rs
essential TO the welfare of IL com
munity rs is Il compass 10 Il ship.
and whenever he is absent there il
sure to be inactivity and introgrcs-
sion. The speedy, progressive
Notwithstanding demands him as
an absolutely necessary quantity.
and i'll many instances where he
ence is most painfully apparent.
The man of progression marks the
worlds progress and advancement,
and the degree of his progressive
ness determines the degree of It's
future welfare. AS an example to
others he is Il shining light, whose
deeds are closely watched and
whose acts are widely initiated.
He sets the pace of the whole uni
verse, and 10y his ingenuity and
brain power leads his fellow men
i'll the great contest Of modern,
high pressure existence Every
where he lives there are apparent
signs of his presence, for his very
surroundings take on an air of
progress. and the city in which he
lives, the home i'll which he spends
his happiest hours and the people
whom he associates all show the
good effects of his being
