PARTY: THAT GIVES
PROOF: Of SUCCESS
Rev. Charles. .Stelzle Shows Me-
cessity of Having A Great
Purpose.
Meeting Opposition An Evidence
Of the Exercise of Real
Power.

No organization can keep alive the
interests Of its members without a
great purpose. The perfunctory
meeting and the platitudinous address
never wins. out. This is just as true
of the labor union as it is Of the
church or any other movement: The
social aspect OF an organizations life
is important. but oyster suppers, vau-
deville shows, smokers, and all the
rest of it never yet held together a
company of earnest men who were
supposedly banded together for the
, purpose Of doing things. When an
organization is compelled to resort to
such features In order to hold its men,
it is an Indication that somewhere
there is a falling down, either in lead
ership or in purpose, and it is dex-
tined to fail.
No movement can long remain a
force when all men speak we'll Of it.
There is danger In too much commen-
dalton. Always will there be a let
ting 80 when prosperity and flattery
enter, and almost invariably 1t may
be said that the man who is always
approved by everybody doesn't count
for much as real power. The man or
the movement which lives and moves
is bound to make mistakes. He who
| never makes mistakes. never makes
anything else. The call to come and
suffer-, has always appealed to true
men. Their response to this call has
| been the secret Of success in the
greatest movements in the worlds
| history. =.
No moyment can maintain It's place
in social and Industrial life unless 1t
| is based upon q moral principle. In
this day and generation might does
not long continue to make right, either
Oh the side of the boss or the work.
man. It may seem like good policy
to force an issue because one has the
whip hand, but no question is ever
settled until it is settled right. More
and more men are insisting that So
! cial questions must be dealt with in
| absolute fairness. There can be nc
| other way In view of this, it is ar
easy matter to prophecy who is going

r: ,=-<>.: ?. World,

We have Just received commupi-
cation from the central Labor Coun-
Gil Of Seattle and vicinity, successor
to the Western Central Labor Union:
and to the end that Duluth union
men make inquiry before suffering
themselves to yield to the coast fever,
we print the communication in full.
To the Labor World: Some Of the
papers of this country have seen fit,
for some reason unknown to us, to
publish erroneous reports regarding
the shortage of skilled labor in the
| northwest and particularly at the navy
yard at Bremerton. We would ap-
preciate it IL you could convey the
news to. the mechanics of your To-
cality that whenever there IS q short
age Of skilled mechanics we will noti-
fy you through the unions and labor
press, not through a corporation press.
AS a matter of fact we have no short
age at present.
| The following resolution from the
) Iron Trades explains Itself. At a
meeting Of the Central Labor Council
held October 18th, 1907, it was en-
dorsed and ordered sent to you:
! Seattle, Wash, October Is, 1907.
| To the Officers and Members of the
| Central Labor Council:
Whereas. The press of the country
lis publishing articles stating that
there Is shortage of skilled mechan-
les on the Pacific coast and that the
government is fearful that it cannot
get men to repair the battleships
which are coming here in the near
future; and
| Whereas These articles are mislead-
ling to eastern men there being many
mechanics registered at the navy yard
who cannot get employment: and
| Whereas, We believe this action of
the press is Cor the purpose of cheap
ening labor by flooding the country
with skilled mechanics, thereby pro-
ducing a glut in the labor market;
therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That the Central Labor
Council take such action as will pre-
vent injustice to these men as well as
to all mechanics in the Pacific coast

is: shown in the following incident
from Chicago.
CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Payroli worries

Henry G. Dawson, manufacturer of
mantels at. 1877 North Halsted street.
A score OF his own employees, all
workmen, yesterday surprised him by
Offering him enough currency, about
$4,000, to carry him through two pay
days. II Mr.. Dawson shall NEED more
money before the hurry in the market
is thing of the past the men on
the other side of his desk will bring
more.
It was not the men in the office
who came bringing the hard earned
savings. One OF the first to knock at
Mr.. Dawson's desk was a janitor.
"Mr. Dawson, they say that it's
kind OF hard to get money these days
to pay the men," said the janitor, as
he tugsed at a roll in :. his pocket
Here's 5000, Mr.. Dawson. ia like to
help you out II cam
"But I can't take your money. You
will be needing It," said his employer.

safe with you taking care Of it, said
the man. -
Then others followed. Four had
$500 which they left with Mr.. Dawson.
Others had $500 and $500 and some
had $50. When It was all piled UP on

And Mr.. Dawson had $1,000 In cur

men are working in unison in formu-
1ating demands, which will be present
ed to the different railroads stimuli
taneously. One of the changes sought
is the abolition of the double header"
the running of two engines to train
with only one crew and one cOniuc-
tor. Two engines are to be permitted
in extraordinary cases only. The
double header question was the
cause of the quarrel of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad men in 1877, and a
strike costing millions of dollars and
many lives resulted.
The vote now being taken is not
a strike vote directly, but one to de-
termine the sentiment of the men on
the questions proposd If demands are
refused, action on general tie-up
will be considered at once. Railroad
men, however, declare that unless the
demands are granted no trains will be
moved.
