DOES 1T PAY TO BELONG
TO LABOR UNIONS?

Before embarking In business of any
kind in these days Of ''moneyed power
and ''frenzed finance" the question
first asked is: "W1ll it pay?" or How
much is there in it," or rs it profit
able?" and so dollars and cents appear
to be the measure applied by the ma
jority Of men in their everyday life
in business transactions, or in other
words, dollars and cents seem to be the
motive power impelling mon to action.
Is it any wonder then that the poor,
everyday wageworker, before joining
a union of his craft or calling, ask the
questionss Does it pay to belong to
a labor union?" what shall get out
Of it?" what good will it do me?" 1t
is not surprising at all. Questions OF
this nature SHOULD be asked" and
ought to be answered plainly.
To begin with is it not fact that
labor unions have given large dividends
sums invested in the shape Of fees and
dues? Think it over and you will find
we are correct Is it not a fact that
the labor unions first enabled the
workers to make a stand for Justice
and right, for liberty and fair play.
1t it not, a fact also that the labor
unions helped, to dispe1 that horrible
night mare which held the men in it's
thral1 for centuries in the superstitious
belief that some men were born to rule
while others were born to work and
obey? Is 1t not an undisputable fact
that labor unions reduced the hours
1917 OF he
same time? Is it not fact that labor
unions through combined effort fought
the unjust and ubiquitous laws that
oppressed the people and through their
influence and power had them changed
and more agreeable ones enacted and
put in force? Is it not a fact that
trades unions nurse their sick, bury
their dead and take care Of the or
phans and little ones left behind? Is
it not a fact that trades unions take
care Of their members in their daily
toll, carefully guard their interests and
zealously look after their welfare, and
vet the question is asked: docs 1t pay
to belong to labor unions" OF course
it pays and pays double fold. Any wage
worker who cannot see the benefits to
be derived from an utilization with q
labor union is blind to his own inter-
ests. and has no business capacity
whatever.
I might ask here, (Which pays bet
ter, to contribute / per cent Of your
earnings to union which does so much
for it's members, or take the chances
Of fighting single-handed and alone
ard being eventually compelled to &C.
cept a reduction of 10 or 20 per cent
in your wages?" The answer is plain,
very plain.
Unions enable the worker to secure
a large share of the product of his
labor; If they did not, we should not
behold so many rick corporations, firms
and combines spending thousands OF
dollars to break them up and put them

Better Conditions and Higher
Wages Secured to Work.
ers Generally.

The union men and women in or
ganized labor's big army today are
fighting the battle Of the rights for all
working men and women-the non
union toilers who have eyes and will
not see the necessity Of organization,
the trouble makers and revolutionists
in their own ranks who are ever busy
with schemes to hamper or to break
up unionism, and even the strike
breakers who profess not to believe in
trades unions because they are incap-
able of looking further ahead than the
selfish clutch at the dollar they may
earn by taking some union mans job
Did you ever think of. this, Mr.. Non
unionist? If you don't believe It's
true. wait until organized labor has
won its fight with employers and has
forced the acceptance Of a universal
eight hour day and an equitable scale
Of wages in every craft. Then you will
see the strike breakers, the trouble
makers and the conscientious nom
unionists who scorn organization
make wild scramble to get into the
union labor band wagon.
The battle Of unionism is the battle
of all the toilers and has always been
so. But the forces Of organized labor
in their grapple with the forces of
capital that are pitted against them
can only gain one factory, one shop, one
redoubt at time. Consequently the
full measure Of the benefits of organ
ization have only been felt by those
in the ranks Of unionism. Yet the un-
organized workers in nearly every trade
and craft In the country are already
enjoying untold benefits that they new
er would have enjoyed had it not
ben for unionism. To stare off the
inevitable organization Of their fac
tories employers in every section Of
the country have for years been grant
ing their men better wages and bet
ter conditions.
"See," exclaim the non-unionists who
have thus been benefited, chow they
are working shorter hours today then
were ten years ago and are earning
more money. We didn't gain these con-
cessions by sending a walking delegate
to our boss to ask for them either. A
fig for your unionism with its big dues,
it's strikes and it's grating leaders,"
That's the way it always is with the
workers who are unable to perceive
the need of organization for the toilers
to combat the organizations Of cap
ital, yet they are always able to see
the ghost Of an argument to justify
themselves in their false and selfish
position of antagonism to their broth
ers and sisters in the labor movement.
They are but children, Of g. larger
growth, or they would know as every
thinking workingman does know, that
these new rights and privileges that
have ben granted voluntarily are
crumbs through which their employ
ers seek to propitiate them with half
a loaf instead Of full loaf that Or
ganized labor demands.
The workers who fail to acknowledge
the claims Of organization are the
deadheads Of the labor movement, for
they are content to enjoy the better
conditions that union labor has won
for them without paying the price of
organization.-Shoe Workers Journal

A GENUINE (?) REPORT.

The following report of meeting of
the employing printers was found the
other day. 1t is given for what it is
worth: .-.~
The semi-occasional meeting Of the
,Typothetae was held at Rowley's hall.
The minutes of the -th meeting and
several other sessions were read and
In order to make them apply toy local
conditions which have changed some
what since last meeting, they were
corrected and approved.
The president Mr.. Giving stated that
as far as he was concerned he now had
time to look after his business, q con-
dition unprecedented when he had union
men working. Business was 50 good at
that time that he was kept always on
the jump. This was evidence enough
to convince him that the "open shop
was a success. ! %"@5'
Mr.. Cornean wished it understood
that he had got the worst Of this strike
and was getting heartily tired Of it. He
had been unable to get his work out
on time. 20
Mr.. Sepristie interrupted by asking,
"Why don't you get more mem"
Mr.. Cornean replied, II can't But
I expect that one of the present pro-
prietors will sell out and then I will
probably be able to secure his services.
Even at that will be little better off
because the Typographical union has
succeeded in getting my best man away
and sending him out Of town. I just
give notice right here that I won't
stand for it. You fellows promised at
the start OF the trouble to stand by me
and all the other members when nec-
essary. Have you done it? You know
that the city attorney and council are
after me to finish up their charter.
You know I have had all kinds Of
trouble with that work. Forms have
had to be printed over because of err
rors. I am nearly distracted and as I
said before won't stand for it. So I
give you fair warning"
At the close OF Mr.. Correan's
harangue, quietnes prevailed: In fact
it was so quiet that you could hear
the ticking Of Mr.. Boilers watch.
Mr.. Boiler ventured the assertion
that they were all about in the same
boat, but thought that from the tone
Of the Typothetae circulars that the
end was not far of. He felt sure that
the printers would be soon out of
