DEEDS THAT COUNT.

We have our enemies in time of

should at once throw off the false
reserve which surrounds us and
show to organized labor that we are

not the only pebble, and are ready,
willing and anxious to extend the
friendly hand to all in the coming
conflict. Throw around those who

LABOR DEBASEMENT.

Despite the fact of the past good
times, it is clearly proven that the
living rates are higher at present
than ever before. The EMPLOYERS
have forced wages down in some of
the leading industries, and are now
making an effort to enforce the
open shop deal in order that it
may disrupt organized labor and
beat down wages still lower.
Stripped of all hypocritical phrases
the n-shop means closed shop
to members of organized labor; it
means discrimination in favor of
such workers who lack the moral
stamina to resist oppression; it
means the dragging of more child
rem into shops and factories to
take the place of fathers and
brothers at lower wages and longer
hours; it means an increase of
crime. poverty, drunkenness and
insanity 1t means degeneration,
chaos and the ultimate destruction
of our civilization. This is Il grave
problem, orie in which all humani..
ty is affected

legislature did SO, and it was the
hardest kind of fight to get an
Tapology of law through, and
the "Guard'' bill, one of the most

most important OF the passing year
with organized labor in this city,
as it is the time when all unions
are called upon to elect delegates
for the coming term to the central
body-the Capitol City Trades

There is great danger just at this
point, lest we fall short in our duty
to the general cause in selecting
delegates that are not the very best
we haye-men who are true to
principle, qualified to represent
the best interests of their unions
and the cause of labor at large,
who will not be party to any
policy other than that of the best

Without intending reflection up
on the status OF the present body
Cor any of its predecessors tor that
matter, for they have made the
Assembly what it isl, it is Il fact
beyond controversy that delegates
are often chosen without Il proper
view of their fitness for the rcSpon-
Sible work intruSted in their hands.
and the evil effects in the Assem-
bly, are Il detriment to its progress

With the trucst Of feeling and

We live in day of progress and
must keep pace with the times.
Many questions brought before us
are of great moment iand call for
due consideration. The action of
Il committee or of one man on that
committee may abuse an important
opportunity and reflect in such a
