UNIONISM'S CHARITY,
The Benevolent Features of the
Labor Movement.
They Tell the Story of the Good Heart
of Him Who Works With His
Hands.

Little does the world know of
kindly acts of unobtruSive charity
performed by the unions of work
ingmen. The public thinks only
OF strikes, lockoutS and industrial
tie-ups when trades unions are
brought to its attention.
The main purposes OF labor or
ganizaGon is the improvement of
the workers condition by advances
in wages, reductions in hours, and
the like. But the benevolent
and charitable features of the labor
movement are rearing monuments.
visible to the eyes of the poor and
lowly, that tell the story of the
good heart of him who tolls.
And the charitable acts Of the
workers mean so much more be-
cause of the truth that they who
give are themselves either poor or
but one step removed from poverty.
Nearly all students of the subject
of poverty agree that it is the poor
who help the poor.
Yet the trades union does not
place the assistance it gives to those
in need upon the plane of what the
world calls "charity.''
The millions of dollars paid from
the funds of the unions in the Uni
ted States annually are regarded as
the just dues of the recipients:
generally they are so designated in
constitutions and rules.
! Where constitutional provision
for relief of distressed members is
not made, and assistance comes
through the channel Of voluntary
contribution, there is no accompan-
iment of humiliation. The giver
feels that he is performing a duty;
the recipient, though grateful, ac-
cepts without the blush of shame.
While much noise and blustcr
necessarily accompanies the prog
ress of tradcSunioniSm, it has its
quieter side. On this side are the
helping hands, the hands which
! bear the receipts for rent. for fuel.
I for provisions. and. in the sad
hours, the hands which hold back
the casket from the potter's field.

Girl Shirtmakers Strike.

About 100 girls employed by the
Victor Shirt Co., of Cincinnati,
have struck for an increase in
wages of from 81 to 5 per cent.
The present trouble is said to be an
aftermath of a strike year ago,
which was settled by arbitration
Iii favor of the girls. Later the
nature of the work was changed so
that the girls lost all they had
gained i'll the settlement. The
present trouble arose ii week ago
when they Were laid off. and were
later notified that they could re-
turn to work but that their union
would not be recognized and that
the factory would hereafter be
operated as an .'opcn Shop.'

RAISE STANDARD
Of the Common Laborer to the
Rank He Deserves.
And Histories will Place the Unions on
Par With the Public Schools
Unions Labor's Safeguard.

There is no such thing as free
dom and Independence for the
worker i'll a factory that is run on
the non union plan. The non
union plan leaves the worker at
the mercy of the employer. He
will get good wages so long as labor
is scarce. When population in
creaseS either by immigration or
natural growth the search for work
becomes more intense ard the en-
~ployer can reduce wages at will /.
The non-union working man has
no alternative. He must either
accept the lesser wage or give his
position over to another, with litele
or no prospect of getting better or
even as good wages elsewhere him
self. Every cut in wages means
that many dollars in the pockets OF
the employer, and there are few
managers of money making enter
prlSeS who can or even have any
desire to resist the temptation OF
increasing their profits in this wa,
whenever they have a chance to
use this method successfully.
The wretchedneSS and misery
that invariably has resulted to the
wage -earnerS whenever an oppor-
tlnity offered itself to manufactur-
ers to cut wages or cheaper it by
employing child labor gave birth
to the labor unions.

laborer to the exalted position he
deserves, historians will place the
