Tin for EyeoIass Wearers.

Wearers Of eyeglasses have noticed
how they become dim when subjected
to a sudden change of temperature
as. for instance, when the wearer
goes from the cold outer air into a
warm room. This may be prevented
by rubbing the glasses with soap
every morning. They may be polished
bright after the soap Is applied, but
an invisible Aim is left on them that
will prevent the deposit of moisture.

THE CLOSED" SHOP.

The principle of the so-called
"closed shop" is accepted in every
day business life; why may not an
organization of workingmen SINH
larly make d bargain with All or
ganization of employers?
The dealer will agree with the
manufacturer to handle only a GER
tain Kind of goods. This is con-
sidered perfectly legitimate. Why
does it seem unconstitutional when
precisely the same bargain is enter
edintO between the employer and
his employees The labor union
says to the employer: eve will
agree to furnish you with compe-
tent men at so much per day. We
can control the men i'll our Organi-
zation. They will abide by the
that we shall make. We cannot
| control the men who are outside of
our organization, so we ask you to
employ only our men, thus making
your shop a union shop. If these
outside men will agree to make the
same contract with you that we
have made, we shall be glad to have
them come into our organization,
thus giving them the same privilege
that we enjoy"
The average employer who fights
so Strcnuously for the GOOD given
right of the non union working
man to exercise his privilege of re-
manning out of the union if he so
desires, declaring that his shop

men, will usually dcbar the man
who exercised the same God given
right by becoming a member of the
trades union, SO that practically his
boastcd ''opcn shop" policy means
''cloScd shop to the unionist.

INDIFFERENCE IN TRADES UNIONS.

Indifference is one of the great
evils organized labor has to contend
with.
Some men Will pretend to be
tTade-unioi::sts; the5 Will loudly
condemn the actions of union
men; they will talk boastfulIy of
the principles of organized labor,
yet their actions contradict every
word they utter.
They do not fulfill any of the OBJ
legations of Il union man: they do
not attend the meetings of their
union, neither do they contribute
IN amy manner to the advancement
OF the cause, except perhaps pay
their dues.
They assert that there is no dan
ger OF them ever doing anything
contrary to union principles, or
that would injurc the labor move
ment. But what are they doug to
strengthen the cause of organized
labor! DO they know that the
conduct Of Il trades unioniSt must
be positive, not negative if any
thing is to be accomplished They
might claim that their actions will
always be in accord with union
principles; but they seem to forget
that the progress of trades union
ism is measured by the strength
that results from the faithful, earn
est and active conduct of the mem
bcrs of organized labor. 1t matters
not how just our cause may be, We
cannot succeed unless we are Solidly
united in hand, mind and heart.

while two of the six inch and one of

There were many immigrants aboard
the Monroe, and when the ships
