GOOD ADVICE.

When union men realize th9ir full
duty to their own and all other un-
ions they will become power great
er than they ever believed themselves
capable of. This is no mere state
ment but fact that will bear the
most rigid investigation.
In the. question Of the duties of
union men a great many phases
should be considered, but the fore
most thought to be kept in mind is
that it you expect other union men
to support your union you are un-
der obligation. to support theirs.
Fortunately the idea is becoming
more prevalent among us in a gen
eral' way that p carpenter can be as
good union man as a plumber, a.
cigarmaker is as good a unoin man
as printer, that a longshoreman~ is
as good a union man as blacksmith,
o. any other comparison you may
choose.
Now, the question to be decided is
the method or methods to be used
tor the purpose of promoting the in
terests of all concerned. The strong
est weapon in the hands of union
men today is the union label. Keep
this in mind and you cannot go as
tray. For example take. the strike
of the printers which is now in force
in about one-half of -the United
States and Canada. The employers
wanted the open shop. the printers,
the union shop. The difference of
the nature of demands was not to
any extent a matter of wages or the
eight hour day. but the bone OF con-
tention was the recognition OF the
union and trade agreements. The
question has been settled In Just
about one-half Of the towns and cit
les involved, =, and these settlements
are the fruit OF bel agitation, the
demand Tor same being made BY
many thousands Of users OF printed
matter throughout the country. The

Successfully by the Printers
Victory in Many Places Where Trouble
Was Anticipated .*: ..*

Locally the strike has made some
progress and after certain matters
now pending are Strengthened up
there will be cheerful news for tho
printers.
At the regular meeting of the Ty-
biographical union last Sunday there
was a large attendance and much
important business was disposed Of.
Among that transacted was the pas
sage of a resolution commencing the
action Of Mr.. Hearst in opening the
columns of his papers throughout
the country in defense of the stand
of the printers. For this action he
was unanimously elected as an hon.
orary member of the union.
In st. Louis the strike is practic-
ally over. Chicago reports great
gains and from New York word
comes to President Lynch that the
Typothetae is demoralized.
One of the Smusing things is the
strike for eight hours a day at Win
nipeg of the imported British print
ers.
Out OF. 1000 members of New York
union engaged in the job printing
business less than 500 are now on
strike.
At the time of going to press 366
unions have obtained the eight hour
day, employing at least $4,000 of the
$4,000 union printers in the coun-
try. 1t does not look as though the
Typothetae had been very successful
in their. mission of breaking up the

sessment has been carried by so large
a majority, to fight indefinitely. Gen
tlemen of the Typothetae you are up
against it. s.5$
The Typothetae secretary, MacIn-
tyre. who thanks God that he is not
an American citizen, continues his
campaign of Misrepresentation. He
gets called however ana he has been
shown up SO many times as being en-
tfrely wrong that it would be wise If
he would hereQfter conf1ne himself to
the truth.
A gentleman who runs a paper
down the Great Northern line told
us a day or SO ago that he receives
circulars almost every week from
Typothetae sources asking If he has
any printers available: The circu-
lars go into the waste basket.
Mr.. Hearst of New York, cancelled
a $4,000 advertising contract he
held with the Butterick Pattern Co..
at the request of the printers. He
also offered a donation of $4,000 to
the defense fund which was politely
declined at the present time.
And now the Typothetae are whin-
ing that the: newspapers of New York
are lying about them. As the Typo
thetae is now practically dead no
harm can come to it from any source.
1t might be wise to cremate it, but
probably that, will be unnecessary If
it gets the punishment for lying pro-
vided by the Westminster Confession.
In Philadelphia the Typographical
union won: a great moral victory when
they expressed themselves as willing
to arbitrate the strike question.
Pressure was brought to bear on the
Typothetae from sources that COM
mand respect but they. turned a deaf
ear to all proposals. In Duluth a
similar proposal was made and was
rejected early in the campaign.
