terial improvement in their condi-
tions. They want and will have
them now and in the continually
recurring near future. We will re-
sort to politics whenever it will
bring us advantage, whenever it
will bring the labor movement a
step further"
In speaking of labor's grievence
against the party in power and par
ticularly the Republicans in con-
gress, Mr.. Gompers said:
what did organized labor get
from congress? 1t was interested
in several bills; it argued, present
ed data, attended hearings, when
the session came to an end, what
was the net result of this work?
There was no result. The eight
hour bill, the anti-injunction bill,
and other bills tending to the pro-
lection of the rights and lives of
men, women and children, had
again been juggled with, but none
of them passed and there was no
prospect of any satisfactory action
on any of them at the next session.
The game is an old one"
1t is the boast of Mr.. Gompers
that union labor has already dem
onstrated its ability to make or I'M
make the regular party candidates
and has long list Of laws-good
laws-to it's credit. Said Mr.. Com
pers:
"Over 80 years ago the trade I'M
ionists secured the establishment
of the bureau of labor statistics in
Massachusetts. 1t was the first
bureau of the kind ever esta blsh-
ed in the world. Since then bur-
eaus of labor statistics have been
established in many states.
ut was the demand of our feder-
alton which compelled many states
to establish inspectors of factories,
shops. mills, mines and tenements.
AT the demand of organized la
Dor, child labor laws have been
placed upon the statute books of
our several states. 1t is our move
ment which seeks for the final and
absolute abolition of child labor.
ut was our federation which Sc
cured to the seamen, for the first
time in history, the right of owner
ship in himself; the right to quit
his work when his vessel was in
safe harbor.

II may be recalled that several
previous attempts have been made
by labor in politics of local cha :
acter, and through the manipuia
ton of politicians have succeeded
in securing a nomination for office
for a few of the leaders or reward
ed them with some political APP
pointment, which may have acted
as detriment to the effort at that
particular time. However, this at
least served as a lesson to the
workers to guard themselves
against its repetition.
No new movement expects to be
successful in it's entirety. If the
present enthusiasm continues, as is
made manifest by the action of the
workers, then there is no doubt
that they will be in a position at
the next election to render a good
account of themselves. 1t is hoped
that such legislators who have
been hostile or Indifferent to the
interests of labor will be RELOCATED
to the rear and union men and
friends of organized labor will be
elected in their stead.

try was passed in Pennsylvania.
"In addition to these our unions

SAYS LABOR VOTE IS

BY Frank J. Weber,

of Labor. and General Organizer
of the American Federation of
Labor.
The submitting of the bin of
grievances by officials of the Amer

Messrs. Roosevelt, Frye and Can

vision of their votes between the

fairs is practically nothing. and
that the labor vote" is really a
jest In American politics.
Up to the present time organized
labor has accomplished little or
nothing in politics, for the reason
that it has had little or no definite
idea of what it wanted to obtain
through political action. When the
workingmen of the country have

This is a great boon to the poorer
class of people, who have to suffer

BALLOT INSTEAD OF THE

BY Gilbert w. Dickson,
President of the Federation
Labor, Detroit, Mich.

Labor, Detroit, Mlch.
New methods are necessary If
the labor union is to survive the
onslaughts made upon it by its enc
mics.
Since the employers. by building
up unions of their own, have fiat
tered us by that imitation which is
considered the sincerest form of
flattery, we must also realize that
our past experiences have enabled
them to avoid many of the obsta-
cles that confronted us in the ear
lier period of our formation. We
blazed the way. BY following it
the employers have been enabled
to do in a few months what has
taken us years of patient endeavor
to achieve.
Once they met our organized
ranks with unorganized resistance,
but even then their financial supe-
riority prevented the advantage
from being as great in our favor
as it would otherwise have been.
Again, through political influence,
which capital has ever recognized
as a potent force, our employers
have mitigated the advantage of
our superiority in numbers.
Labor's salvation lies in entering
politics and in voting as a unit. In

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept g.
Union labOr's new political activity
does not look to the formation of a
labor party. This is the statement
of Samuel Gompers, head of the
American Federation of Labor.
The purpose of the movement,
says Mr.. Gompers is to have labor
take action as a class, helping la
boris friends and defeating when
possible its enemies, irrespective
of party.
This is not a new move on the
part of the trades unionists of Am
erica" said Mr.. Gompers. at is
simply that some of the cobwebs
are to be swept away from the
minds of those who think it is new
AS long ago as in it's national con-
vention of 1886 the American Fed
Grafton of Labor declared that the
time had arrived when the work
ing people Should decide upon the
necessarily of united action as citi-
zens at the ballot box"
Those present were urged to
support an Independent political
movement of workingmen. At
numerous labor conventions held
since then similar resolutions have
been passed"
President Gompers says that the
present movement is merely an
awakening. The unionized labor
people have lately come to the con-
clusion that they have been trifled
with by members and leaders of
the two great parties, and that
they must take more aggressive
stand for the election of men who
will represent their interests. This
awakening of the labor interests
first gave evidence of its wide
spread character and determined
purpose in the presentation of a
bill of grievances to President
Roosevelt, the president of the
senate and the speaker of the
house of representatives last win

ties or undertaken to form one but

That workingmen should interest
themselves in the science of gov
eminent no good citizen can deny.
That there is an awakening to
this fact by the workingmen need
cause no surprise.
Demands for laws protecting the
interests of the women, children
and men who toll for living have
been repeatedly refused. Laws,
when enacted, have been nullified
and made imperative by corrupt
officials. These conditions force
the workingmen to realize that
they must go into politics.

otherwise, and if the laws desired

UNIONS DEMANDS WILL
BENEFIT ALL LABOR
BY Herman Robinson,
General Organizer of the American
Federation of Labor in New
York.

The present activity on the part
of organized labor in politics must
not be considered spontaneous, it
being the result of study through
which organized labor has become
convinced that without unity of &C
ton all our appeals for favorable
legislation in the interest of the
wage workers are of no avail.
Considerable has been said
about the so-called unjust demands
of organized labor and that they
only represented small percent
age of the wage workers. Never
theless, it has been demonstrated
that wherever a trade union sue
ceeded in improving the condition
of its members, the nonunion men
as result were also benefited.
Organized labor through its duly
accredited representative has for
years sought by every honorable
means to secure favorable legisla-
ton from both NATIONAL and state
lawmaking bodies. Finding the
means unsuccessful, another
course had to be pursued
The workers, realizing what has
been and can further be accom-
plished upon the industrial field,
decided to use their power on the
political field and will endeavor to
elect such men, regardless of party
men from their own ranks-as
will make new laws and administer
them along the lines laid down in
the demands of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor Every compon-
ent labor organization must as the
prime essential combine for the
purpose of securing remedial legis-
lation for wage earners and in
struct it's members to cast their
votes on election day exactly as
those legislators cast their votes
on legislation asked for by orga-
lied labor.

OURS BUT To
Do AND DIE

The Injuns and Grays are in the
death struggle at Recreation park
this afternoon. Two games will be
played before the teams leave the
field Both teams are grim and in
clined to fight when addressed.
They're intent on winning both
games. The first will see Macholz,
the Milwaukee wonder, pitching
against Goodwin. The last game
and the one that closes the season
in Spokane will have Rush on the
firing line for Spokane against
Tonneson for the Grays Harbor.
The Grays took the Injuns down
the line yesterday by a score of
IL to 3. At no stage of the game
did the Spokane boys have pos
sible show. Brinker, who did the
slab work, was in great trim. while
Blexrud, who started the works for
Spokane, didn't show good form
and was removed in favor of
Samuels, who didn't show any bet
ter form.
1t was an even thing at Butte
yesterday when Tacoma lost the
first game 1 to and won the sec
ond 8 to 1. Tommy Doyle pitched
both games for the Tigers.
The Dodd Clothiers won a game
yesterday at Natatorium park
against the S. A. A. C. by score
of 9 to A. The Powell Sanders
team also won their game from
Jones & Dillingham;, 8 to 2.
AT Occur d'Alene yesterday the
Northern Pacifics won from the
Lakers l to 0.
At Rossland. B. c., yesterday, the
Canucks defeated our own War
wicks by a score of 4 to 3 in a
brilliant II inning game that was
a little the fastest article of base
ball ever seen in the mining camp.
