economical and sociological Upon
their correct solution hinges the con-
tfnuance of the very civilization which
evokes them. The year 1906 has been
specially fruitful for our cause. Much
has been achieved in the direction of
bringing about that condition, which
He, whose coming we last Tuesday
celebrated, taught, and for. which He
lived on earth-the BROTHERHOOD
OF MAN.
A recognition of the great good that
trade unionism accomplished in the
year just closing, should arouse our
devotion to the cause, it's aims and
objects, and inspire us with a deter
mination to make 1907, excel all it's
predecessors in the magnitude of the
work accomplished for the home, the
work shop, and for all the people.
Ours is indeed a sacred trust. To ex-
ecute it in a spirit of conformity to
the Golden Rule of Justice and Equity
should be our aim. We ask nothing
but justice for and to all men. For
this cause came trade unionism into
the world and to that end was it born.

high time that the public conscience
should become aroused on this sub.
ject? Surely, no material prosperity
is worth having, nor can it long be
maintained, that is secured at the ex-
pense of the health, morals and edu.
cation of the future men and women
of the republic.
We have mpartially considered all
the arguments and excuses, generally
advanced in support of child labor,
and are thoroughly convinced that the
sordid gain of profit seekers in greed
for cheap labor is at the bottom of
them all.
The most repulsive features of the
evil, are not so glaringly in evidence
in Duluth, and other northwestern
cities, as they are in cities of the
eastern and central states. But we
have some of them, and here is a
field where our self styled "agitators
for moral reform" can find abundant
opportunity for exercising their tai.
ents. If the children are to be pro-
tected, and the permanency of free
government assured, all elements in
the community must come together on
one platform-unalterable opposition
to all forms Of child labor.

WE SHOLD SMILE.

The thing which goes the furthest
toward making life worth while,
That costs the least and does the most
is just a pleasant smile.
The Grille tia, bubbles from the heart,
that loves ITS 1ellow-meE,
VIII drive away the gloomy clouds and
coax the sun again.
It is full of mirth and goodness, too,
with manly kindness bent;
It's worth million dollars and 1t
doest cost a cent;
There is no room for sadness when
We see a CHEEKY smile;
It always has the same good look-it's
never out Of style.
It nerves us up to try again when
~ failure makes us blue,
Such dimoies Of encouragement are
good Cor me and you.
So smile away; folks understand what
by a smile Is .r:eant.
It's worth a million dollars and it
doesn't cost a cent.

REFORM AGITATION IN CHICAGO,

REFORM AGITATION IN CHICAGO.
There is at present in Chicago. one
of those spasmodic movements for the
reform of disgraceful conditions,
which come over the authorities of
that city once every 50 often. The
food supply, the observance of build
ing laws, the health and sanitation
laws, and the sweat shop evil, are
among the questions embraced in the
agitation. We hope that from the
movement will come correction of
the laws and lettering of conditions
for the toflers. The signs of the pres
ent agitation are better than those of
former years. Spasmodic reforms, are
better than no effort at all. partic-
ularly as each successive effort ems
phasizes the necessity of improved
conditions. It is hoped that at this
time the public conscience will be ed.
ucated up to tho point of seem
wisdom of making the reforms per.
manent.

THE OLD YEAR.

In a few days now, and ere this
paper reaches many of our readers,
good old 1906 shall have taken it's
departure forever. Some of our
friends and acquaintances who were
with us at it's opening are missing at
It's close. When we remember the
high hopes, earnest expectations, and
intense interest in life's affairs, with
which many of these greeted the COM
ing of the year just closing, we can
not help thinking what an uncertain
and transitory affair this life is. We
are here today: tomorrow we are
gone. Intimate friends and relatives
may remember us for a while, but
alas! they too shall depart, and abso-
lutte forgetfulness is eventually our
doom. But for one we don't regret it.
We would just as soon that all men,
DRY of our individuality were buried
with us in the tomb; but, we would
like to be able to do something while
here, the effect of which would com.
fort and bless the living when all
memory of us would be forgotten.
Even in this our judgment has all the
elements Of uncertainty that charac-
terize life as a. whole. TIE supposed.
ly great things may be the least eff
cacious, and the little things, may
be the most productive in results.
What to childhood appears but a
twinkle in heaven"
rs sun around which worlds are
eternally driven"
The great problem has never yet
been solved by man, and never will
, be. 1t only behooves us to do our
work as best we can, leaving the con.
sequences to Him who doeth all things
we'll.

THE NEW YEAR.
1906.
1907

Thanks be to the collective power
Of organized labor, the year 1907 of
this christian era, dawns upon the
world with broader and better hori-
zon of prosperity and happiness for
the toiling masses than any year that
ever preceded it.
The great good that has been
achieved should stimulate US to the
accomplishing of even greater things
for the future. Every element of
wrong must be eradicated from our
industrial system. Progress is the
watchword. Eternal activity is the
price of industrial liberty.
We must strenuously continue to
agitate, educate and organize, in
full conviction of the fact, that in
trade unionism lies the only adequate
solution of the problem of the ages.
1t is the only agency today that is
competent to give protection and per-
manency to conditions of equity and
justice for the wage earners.
Our leaders, like Gompers and 9th
ers, are able, conscientious, self-sacri-
ficing men. They are strong in their
convictions, and courageous to the
point of almost any sacrifice in pro-
noting the interest Of our cause.
Let union men everywhere be faith
full to their trust, and manfully uphold
the noble efforts of our leaders. Let
our influence be felt not only in our
scouncils but in the state. collective
ballot in the hands of organized labor
Is invincible.
As we look into the future, and con-
template the possibilities and proba-
bilities of labor unionism, we are al.
most lost in ecstacies of joy at the
prospects. Surely as we contem-
plate the grand realizations of the
past, and the even grander realiza-
lions yet to be, we can all with one
accord unite in the joyful acclaim, ad
dressed not only to union men, but to
all the world:
Happy! Happy! New Year!

HOW THEY SETTLE IT
IN OLD NEW. ZEALAND
Ex-Member of Arbitration Court
Tells of One Instance Of
Quick Adjustment.

An ex-judge of the Arbitration
Court in New Zealand tells this story:
The girls IN a match factory came
before the court asking for an in
crease of wages. The proprietor said
he could not pay what they wanted,
that his enterprise was in it's infancy,
and to increase wages would ruin it.
The court heard the evidence on both
sides, studied the financial condition
of the business and the cost of living
in the city, and then the judge said
to the proprietor: 1T is impossible
for these girls to live decently and
BEAUTIFULLY on the wages that you are
now paying. It is of the utmost i'm
portance, not only to them but to the
state, that they should have decent,
wholesome, healthful conditions Of
life The souls and bodies Of the
young women of New Zealand are Of
more Importance than your profits,
and if you can't pay living wages it
will be better for the community for
you to close your factory. It would
be better to send the whole match fac
tory to the bottom Of the ocean and
go back to f1ints and fire sticks than
to drive young girls into the gutter
My award is that you pay what they
ask" The man protested and grun-
bled, but he obeyed the order. He did
not close his factory.

THE LETTER CARRIER.

The burdens of the letter carrier
are steadily on the increase, but these
servants Of the government are about
the most poorly paid men in the coun-
try. Several attempts have been
made in congress in recent years to
remedy the situation, and the great in
justice, under which these faithful
class Of public servants, have labored
so long, but thus far no relief has
been given. 1t goes without saying
that these men, who are out early and
late, through fair weather and foul,
ought to get enough to live on de-
Gently, and be able to procure the
necessaries of life for themselves and
their families, to say nothing Of lay
Ing by a few dollars for the rainy
days which are sure to come. Un-
fortunately, the postmaster general
ship, In recent years, has been held
by cold-blooded imperialistic dudes
OF the Cortelyou stripe, who think
that the letter carriers, being of the
laboring class, have no right to say
their souls are their own, and ought
to be content with the crumbs tina:
fall under the imperialistic table.
1t will not always be so. The peo-
Pies patience is we'll nigh exhausted
with the "stand pat" and "red tape"
of the party in charge of the govern
ment. There is not department of
our government today, that is con-
Quoted in conformity with the usages
of good business. The people are
sick of such management. Hypocrit-
ical mouthings about loyalty and pat
riotism do not deceive the voters any
more. The maladministration of the
Republican party has reached the
acute stage. President Roosevelt, and
he Is more of Democrat than a Re-
publican, is, all that is, saving the
party from utter humiliation. The
people are waking up to the fact that
they have been hoodwinked long
enough. 1t was Napoleon Bonaparte
who said that the best way to govern
people was,
list, Talk patriotism at them until
they are as blind as rats.
End, Rule them with a rod of iron
and steal every dollar they have got.
The powers that be in WASHINGTON
had better take notice that the Amer
lean people today, are too wide awake
to be operated on in such way.
The Republican leaders one by one
are finding this out, and some of them
are going into retirement, some to the
penitentiary, and others are kept busy
manufacturing excuses for official ras-
cality. The American people are pa.
tient and long-suffering, but the day
OF reckoning is approaching. In the
future parties will be judged by their
deeds and not by their professions.
The days of hypocrisy are numbered,
and the dawn of the better era is upon
| us.

who are in sympathy with your cause
advertise in the Labor World. Some
merchants are so wrapped up in their

COMING YEAR ENDEAVOR.

The progress of the labor movement
means the progress Of the human
race There is no doubt whatever
about this. How vitality important it
is then, that all of us as units in that
movement should during the coming
year strive with fresh endeavor to
familiarize, ourselves with those intri-
cate problems which our complex civ.
ilization presents for solution. These
problems embrace questions political,
