Van Cleave Turned Down.

The poor open shop fanatics get
their bumps right along. At a
recent banquet of the National
Association of Agricultural Imple-
ment and Vehicle Manufacturers,
held in the Auditorium Hotel,
Chicago, President j. w. Van
Cleave, of the National Associ.
alton Of Manufacturers, was waited
upon by a committee of employers
with the request that he absent
himself from the banquet or re
fraln from delivering a talk on or
ganized labor. Mr.. Van Cleave
chose the later. If he had had
any self respect he would have
cut out the banquet and gone to a
free lunch counter for his feed.
But some men have no shame and
never know when they areinsulted.

and in a few more revolutions or
the earth upon its axis we shall
nave a better world-a better man
kind. Waiting will not accom-
pilsh 1T; deferring till another time
Will notsecure it. Now is the time
for the workers of America to come
to the standard oftheir unions and
to organize as thoroughly, com.
pletely and compactly as is posi-
BILE Let each worker bear in mind
the words of Longfellow:
In the worlds broad field of
battle
In the bivouac of Life,
BE not like dumb, driven cattle .
Be a hero in the strife!

Why We Should Organize.

One in ten of New York's dead
is buried i'll the potter's field. In
London one out of five dies i'm thc
hospital, the workhouse, or the
lunatlc asylum. Only three per
cent of men in this country over
s. years OF age are self-supportinp.
The oldest man in the Unitcd
states, dying recently at 1870 years
OF age, a been for fifty years in
the p~oorhouSe. Thus is the labor
Il Il man exalted as dignified and
sacred, and the man himself ex-
plotted and neglected. 1t has been
wei said that there should be less
hlSh-Sounding talk about the
dignity oflabor. and Il more earn
est and careful consideration of
the rights and conditions of labor.
