ADVERTISE TRADES uN1oN1ss1.

Proposition on That Line VIII Prob

A. F. Of l..
A proposition by Rev. Charles Stel-
zle, former union machinist. suggest
ing the advisability of the trades un-
ions taking advertising space in the
newspapers and magazines to proclaim
their aims and objects, has been taken
up in the current issue Of the Pattern
makers Journal by James ]. Phillips.
Mr.. Phillips heartily approves Of the
plan and wants to see 1t brought be-
fore the next convention Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor for discus
sion and adoption. He has figured out
that a per capita Of only 1 cent a year
collected by every affiliated union on
its membership would furnish at least
$4,000, which he considers would Ger
tainly be enough to keep up a very
respectable advertising campaign"
The cost Of advertising. he adds,
would no doubt be Offset by the in
creased membership in union and by
a. reduction In organising expenses in
proportion to the increase in member
ship. It would tighten and make more
effective the work Of organizers. Even
If it did not result In the addition Of
one member the removal Of unfounded
anti-union prejudice would in itself be
cheaply bought, II accomplished, as it
undoubtedly would be in this way. ,.

A QUESTION OF SANITY.

Eminent specialists have declared

the United States and Canada are sober
and conservative. The International
Typographical Union declared for the

Take the question, where do. you
cash your checks7" Who is involved
Our employees. How are they involved
We pay them in checks Saturday af-
ternoon when we know the banks are
closed and that it is Impossible for
them to realize the money on the
checks, unless some store or saloon
cashes them. Anyone who investigates
finds that a majority Of the checks
given to certain classes are cashed in
the saloons Of the city. Stand at the
bank windows on Monday and watch
the saloonkeepers deposit scores OF
checks bearing the names Of great
firms and corporations. Those checks
were given the men on Saturday: and
the men sought out some saloon to
have them .cashed. Saloon men charge
no interest, or exchange. but Of course
their kindness In cashing checks Ia
an invitation for the men to drink
at their bars.
1t Is placing the laboring man in
an unfortunate position. 1t puts him
into communication. or into compan-
ionship caculated to injure his moral
life and affects the happiness of his
family. Instead OF avoiding the ap-
pearance and substance of evil he Is
almost forced into seeing, handling
and sometimes tasting, that which Is
corrupt and corrupting. When we
force man, or even make 1t possible
for him to frequent saloons to cash
his checks. we are violating the law
of mans responsibility to man. We
are our brothers keeper. and we have
no right to keep him in a manner OF
way that will bring him to destruc-
ton. We should never lead him into
temptation.
Is there a remedy for this present
evil7 Yes. The men could be paid
in coin and not forced to seek some
one kind enough to cash their checks
OF course you answer it is more
preferable to pay in checks. Why;
Because it increases the clearing house
receipts. Therefore, to raise the clear.
ing house receipts we must teopardize
the lives and characters of men.
However. there Is another way that
will save the men and also permit us
to look after the clearing house re.
celpts. Give the men their checks
when the banks are open, and when
the men can walk to the bank win.

says:
THE habit of drinking leads to the
ruin Of families, the neglect of social
duties, disgust for work, misery. theft,
and crime. 1t leads also to the hos
pital, for alcohol produces the most

of the stomach and liver, and dropsy.
