about when we say that eight hours are
enough.
We know that eight hours is all that a
printer should work when he works con-
scientiously-as good union printers do
work.
1t is not possible to demand at this
moment, perhaps, the absolute eight-hour
day in every line of industry in the United
States. There may be, as both employers
and employees allege, certain lines of human
labor in which the eight-hour principle
cannot at present be properly granted.
But there is no doubt whatever that the
printing business is one in which the eight
hour day can be and should be applied to
all printers without exception.
Those among the Typothetae or en-
ployers of book and job printers who re-
fuse their mee' the eight-hour day are d.
vided in two classes. Some of them know
nothing about printing, about the strain
on the eyes, on the system, etc. If they
need enlightment we shall try to enlighten
them before the strike is over It will be
WOn
Other employers know perfectly we'll
that the eight-hour day is fair day, a
reasonable and just day. But selfishness
in them is stronger than justice or fair
ness. And they want to fight with their
men in the hope that they will be able to
squeeze out Of them that extra ninth hour,
as much out of place in the printing bust

for the employer to protest against giving

tails harder work. The employee who un-
derstands what he asks Of q printer, sitting

y Honest Citizen Should Be on the

The Chicago American of last Sunday
contained one of the strongest arguments
that has yet been put forth in behalf of
the eight-hour work day. It is of such i'm
portance that We reproduce it:
This newspaper and it's associated
newspapers thropg ghout the country will to
the extent of their power help the printers
in their strike beginning tomorrow.
The editor and owner of these news
papers proposes to use all of his influence
to win for the men a demand based on JUS
tice and fair play.
The fight is made by the printers 'in
Job and book offices' for an eight hour
day.
The eight-hour day is the only ques-
tion at issue.
This newspaper believes in the eight
hour day. It advocates laws compelling
recognition Of the eight-hour principle by
all government contractors and in all gov
ernment employ.
In this particular strike for the eight
hour day this newspaper knows that the
men are in the right. We employ printers
in five cities Of the Union, many hundreds
of them we employ them all on union
basis, and on an eight-hour basis exclu-
sively, and we know what we are talking

KNOCKERS NOT WANTED
IN TRADE UNIONS
Unions Have Much to Fear
From Knoc king Their Own
.22.z. s.. i: Comrades. s s.
Every Member Should Put His
Shoulder to the
Wheel.
BY Z, w. CRAIG,

Trade unions, like nearly all other
organizations for general and volun-
tary membership, find one Of the great
est obstacles to their progress and con-
tinuous growth In the fact that as soon
as the novelty of the situation has
worn away from the circumstances
surrounding their initiation, the inter-
est Of the average member begins to
flag, enthusiasm varies and in some
cases ideas die out all together. There
are numerous causes for these con-
ditions, but the principal one is un-
doubtedly lack Of appreciation of in
tellfgenpt and effective effort. A lit
tie commentator and merited praise
goes long way towards making the
performance Of life's manifold duties a
pleasure. instead Of a burden.
Again. even though a very large
majority are well satisfied with the
work accomplished, one kicker, with g.
sour, morcse disposition, that takes ad-
vantage Of every opportunity to find
fault, will do more to discourage the
good that the willing members would
gladly bring about, than all Of the
rest can overcome. The malcontent is
always going around, figuratively
speaking with his head down, paving
the ground, bawling like a mad bull at
anything and everything that does not
happen to originate within the confines
of his own narrow brain, He is to har-
1nony what drop Of acid is to a pan
Of sweet milk. It curdles everything
within a radius Of it's pernicious in
fluence. He is always sure that he
can see the proverbial "nigger in the
fence" Every discrepancy, no mat
ter how small is magnifled a thousand
diameters, and If he could have his
way every rooming house In town
would be converted into Jail to in
cercerate the imaginary delinquents.
He howls necessarily because there Is
not larger attendance at the meetings,
when, If the truth were known, he Is
probably the real and principal cause
why the majority stays away. All such
should take tumble to themselves,
and they will probably find that they
are not OF SO much Importance as their
relatives and hal1ucination have led
them to believe. ..> S:.,. 4, I. y
Again there Is always a certain num-
ber who are even disposed to crittsize
others that will not accept any office
or committee work, as though they
were some costly bric-a-brac that Is
not to be touched or handled by any Of
the visitors to the particular hall Of
fame on which they happen to be on
exhibition. They arc 50 very brittle

IF 'ASTEP FORWARD AND
FULL Of PROMISE"
Government By Injunction
Injunction Will Be Test
" ed IN the Courts.
Referendum and Initiative OF.
fers a Surer Remedy For
This Injustice.

Government by injunction is to be
tested in the highest court by the
American Federation Of Labor. That
was decided upon at the Pfttsburg con-
vention Of the federation, and the lead
ers declare it "a step forward and full
of promise" Without wishing to throw
a single dash Of cold water on such a
project as the emancipation of labor
from the unsurpation and coercion of
the federal Judges. yet not too much
must be expected from a judiciary ap-
pointed for life, chosen from corpor-
alton attorneys, and would probably
like to continue this power in the
judges.
The attempt however, to promote a
just cause will do great good, for it
will give publicity to the sweeping
injunctions granted by the Judges
which would apear to be repugnant to
law and the constitution. But however
the Supreme Court Of the United States
may decide the question there Is more
certain and surer way out Of the labor
unions by persever1ng In the effort to
secure the referendum and the initia-
tive the candidates of all parties for
congress and the legislatures II they
will vote to establish the sovereignty
Of the people. A vast change in the
personnel Of the legislative bodies can
thus be assured and a majority favor
able to the referendum system be elect
ed. With a majority of congress Sc
cured the necessary statute can be en-
acted to limit the power Of the judges
to grant injunctions only in certain
: specified cases.

initiate law to limit the granting
Of injunctions the labor unions with
their 100000 members can through
their organization easily secure the
necessary 100000 names to a. petition.
! and congress will be forced to act.
When such a petition for a proposed
,antf-injunction bill has been presented
to congress that body will have the
opportunity to amend or substitute a
more perfect bill II after the necessary
consideration such Is considered de-
sirable; then both bills would 20 to
referendum vote at the next election.
and the one for which majority Of the
votes declared would become the law.
The report of the executive COM
m1ttee of the American Federation of
Labor presented to the Pitsbure con-
vent1on declared that the questioning
OF candidates must be continued as
adopted by former conventions. and the
convention adopted the report of the
committee. So determined effort to
elect representatives pledged to the
: peoples cause will be the non-partisan
political work of every member Of
organized labor. The success of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor in
& conjunction with the referendum

endum system, was entirely due to the
gram of questioning the candidates of
all parties.
The effort to secure the referendum
system will not interfere with the other
program Of carrying out up to the
highest court the question of the un-
constitutionality Of the injunctions
granted by the federal courts in cases
INVOLVING disputes between labor ana
corporations. St s.:z.:z- + d 5$ ~ 4. s.
There are two principal reasons why
the initiative and, referendum should
be advocated by those who desire good
government-hrs with reform estab-
lishad the people can have honesty in
politics, for political machines with
their grating propensities are unable
to make headway with the voters hold
ing the brake and able to initiate good
laws and veto bad ones. The second
reason that will appeal to the most OBJ
tllse voter is that the political bosses
everywhere fight the referendum sys-
tenn, which should at once interest the
honest voter to establish It,
The machine politicians do not
usually fight the establishment OF a
referendum system openly. They crc-
ate obstacles and delays in an attempt
to tire out the reformers. All the pow
erful corporations that hold special
franchises, all the grafters that exist
>on corporation corruption, see the end
OF plundering the people If the voters
themselves take direct hand in city,
state and national government.
Such opposition to the peoples right
to voice in their own affairs Is ram
pant at Chicago, Buffalo and Philadel-
ph1a, but the people will prevail If per-
s1stent for their own emancipation. In
other cities such as Detroit, the re-
FORMERS have complete control of the
situation and even the political bosses
90 not openly advocate returning to
the old grating way Of conducting the
city government.
Inc voters who pay exhorbitant fuel
ana hight bills, who suffer from Door,
Se' expensive street car accommodations
and perhaps paying for water double
"hat 1t is worth can reform those
ABUSES and get better schools, more
parks and Fairgrounds, we'll paved
streets' and other public improvements
at less cost II they have the powerful
cneck that the referendum system gives
over the acts of their representatives.
A Few public spirited men can in
stall these reforms if they invite the
honest voters to back up their efforts.

him to the federal penitentiary for life.
