Organization Necessary

Organized labor is necessary to
man. Ii is necessary to peace and
the prosperity of the country.
Labor is a commodity. It is mer-
chandise that will not keep. In
its individual capacity it is help
less and musttake what it can get.
1t can not go to another market,
for when it leaves home the wife
and the children are in need. In.
dIvidually labor is a subject to the
laws of supply and demand because
it can't wait. In its united capae-
ity it is stronghold strong in
wrong, because labor has no desire
to do wrong to capitol or to con-
ditions. 1t has too much brains.

Can't Sand A1onz

The days of individuality, per-
sonal liberty, ETC., in u great
factories is a thingof the past, hav.
ing been lost in the magnitude and
great proportions to which our
modern institutions have grown.
There is no individual liberty to be
obtained now, with standing alone:
the only way to obtain real free.
dom and liberty on the industrial
field in these progressive days is
through combinations in trade
unions and applying the principle
of collective bargaining. One man
standing alone in our great institu-
tons is lost; his efforts to obtain
recognition impotent and futile,
while100 men or 500 men will, in
one harmonious unit, become a
power of strength, and are thus
able to secure liberty, freedom of
action, better wages and improved
conditions generally.

John p. Altgelt once said:
Evey time union labor achieves a
victory it not only raises the
standard of the union men, but of
the non-unionist, who receive the
benefit of all that union labor re-
celves-. Every time the non
unionist takes a strikers job and
brushes a union he not only lowers
the status of the union man, but of
himself and his own family, who
must share the degradation of all

How many boys, just starting
to work, know what they are 20.
ing to do later in l1feg Most OF
them take the first position they
can get without thinking what il
will lead to or if there is any adj
yancement and whether they will

in it or not. There + hundreds
of boys everywhere who have n.
future before them in the place
they are working in now and who
have not given the future a

office and the highest they will
ever get is to besa clerk or a book

The mass of boys must go to work

help keep the family. Besides, if
1T were possible for all, or even
many, to exercise choice of the
promising leads. there would be a
great d~islocation of the present
machinery of business. The poor
jobs would tend to become better
ones, as they would be stunned:
the places with fat salaries would
submit to law of competition.

his wife: SsNy dear, when you go

The wife smiles very sweetly and
says she viii, and the very next
day goes into a store and buys
goods that the statesmen tell herare
not made by union workingmen.
Now, what are the union men
going to do in their fight for justice
when their wives, who have prom
ised to be a helpmeet to them, will
tear4down whatthey have built up7
Even if the union men do demand

ANGEROFLOW DUES
Trades Unions Should Be Fortified
BY a Substantial Treasury,
IT IS AN ESSENTIAL FEATURE.
Union Men of all Trades Must Give
Close Attention to the Policies

Organizations.

Trade unions have been thriving
to such an extent in this country
Tor the past few years, SAYS the
Amalgamated Woodworker that
the average member of the organi.
.Zation has not.had occasion to stop:
and consider where we are at. ana
SO the unions have gone on adding
new features which entailed IN.
creased expenses without proyid-
ing for adequate revenue to meet
the increased demands on their
treasury.Usnally the ordinary
resources Of nearly all organiza-
tons are taxed almost to the limit
to maintain these obligations, max
ing it impossible to Accumulate
funds for emergencies that are
liable to arise at any time.
There is good reason for all this.
One is that neither conventions
the referendum of any organi-
zation ever gives due consideration
to expectancy of life in making
laws governing death benefits; con.
sequently unions attempt to paw
sums tnat are utterly out of pro-
portion to the revenue received.

differences, but unions do not per-

BREAKS BY CONGRESS-
Peculiar Mistakes Due to Tremen-
dous Amount of Work Transacted
just Before Adjournment.


In the hurry and hustle of "get
away" day in Congress, few errors
slipped in to upset the calculations of
party leaders. One of these was the
signing of the agricultural appropri-
alton bill by the President before that
measure contained the signature of the
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. OF course this oversight was
corrected, but the question then arose
as to the Importance of having the bill
signed by the Speaker and the Vice
President. Their signatures merely
certify that the bill has passed their
respective houses, the important fact
being that they have been passed by
the House and Senate. For this rea-
son it is not regarded as being abso-
lutely indispensable that a bill should
be signed by the presiding officer of
the House. All that is necessary is to
establish the fact that it has been so
passed.
Another "break" was the presiden-
tial approval of the sundry civil bill
containing an item appropriating
$3,000,000 for site for a new de-
partmental building in Washington.
This item had been dropped out of the
bill in conference but the enrolment
clerks failed to notice the omission
and so included this item in the copy
of the bill laid before the President for
his signature. When the error was
a resolution was adopted
by both houses of Congress repeating
the feature of the bill making the
appropriation.
1t is not strange that these mis-
takes occur, as all of the employees of
both the Senate and House during the
last few days of Congress have an
amount of work showed upon
them, so that when Congress actually |
adjourns many of them are ready to
take to their beds for several days in
order to recuperate.
