minute the working mar realizes that
he is a man and not a slave he calls
to his fellows to unite with him for
betterment.
United they begin to devise ways
and means. They plan how they may
secure this and that that they know,
as men and not as slaves, they should
%have-that belongs to them by right.
They are at an immense disadvantage
because they are not only without
means, dependent upon the power
they are attacking, but more than
all else, they are inexperienced, igno-
rant. They make mistakes and are
Inundated and their organizations
broken and scattered and they are in
dividually made to suffer and are re-
duced to still more abject poverty. The
weaker among them are made weaker
and more timid still, but the naturally
strong are developed in strength and
grow in wisdom. They see wherein
the weakness Of their former move
ment lay and they go among their fell
lows and point it out to them. They
see ever as they did not e before
that only through uniting can they
ever be emancipated from their state
of slavery.
"That is so fundamental a truth that
it is patent, No one disputes. When
the non-union a frets at what he
calls the domination of the union he
forms a union to oppose it. This is
the amazing spectacle that this partic-
ular brand of the spirit of liberty has
reserved for modern eyes. Only by
union can Roadway be made by pow
erty-stricken individuals against the
intrenchments and Notifications of cap

BAD DREAMS
Frequently Due to Coffee Drinking.

One of the common symptoms of
coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that

WHAT THE WOMEN WORE.
Of Course the Story Teller Didn't
Really Mean Just That.

A gentleman recently returned from
that quiet little Maryland resort,
Ocean City, has a tale to tell of con.
ditions that are really sensational.
And the worst of it was that he did
not know they were sensational at all.
He was out calling the other evening,
and the conversation started with the
shirtwaist man, who, the returned
wanderer said, was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort.
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted OF
going without hats. This is the way
he told it to an interested company:
"You see everybody down there
going about Just the same. The men
never wear coats; they go about in
just their SHIRTS and trousers, and the
women are Just like them"

Robbin Boys, WAGES.

John B. Lennon, treasurer of the
American Federation of Labor, deliv-
cred recently an address on strikes.
Turning to the amusing features of
the strike question, Mr.. Lennon said:
Il remember a strike Of bobbin
boys, a just strike, and n that sue
ceeded. These boys conducted their
fight well, even brilliantly. Thus the
day they turned out they posted in
the spinning DON of their employers
mill a great placard inscribed with
the words:
1.-The wages of sin is death, but the
wages Of the bobbin boys is worse.'"

WHAT OF THE FUTURE
OF THE
FEDERATION OF LABOR?

educate every man to know his
rights and the rights as well al
the power of capital, to know
what to ask for and what not to
ask for, to know when to ask. to
know when to Substitute the word de
mand' for request and finally and
most vitality, to know how to enforce
that demand. That is the American
Federation of Labor. 1t is the great
est labor organization of the world.
They will tell you that the inter-
ests of labor and capital are identical,
that they should live together in
peace and harmony; the welfare of
one is the welfare of the other, and
all that. OF course it is. To the un-
biased this is as fundamental as the
truth of organization. But the trou-
Bile is that capital. like labor, is pri-
marily ignorant-especially is capital
ignorant of this fact. 1t can't be
taught without demonstration. 1t
lacks the point of view, and no lesson
is so hard to instill as that. 1t is
warm and WELL fed and it is labor
that makes it so. The more subservi-
ent and the cheaper the labor on the
one hand, the more wealth and luxury
on the other. How can the beneficiary
of such a condition understand that
the increase of wages, the reduction of
the hours of labor, the general uplift
of his employees, is to his benefit? He
cannot see it. To him this great truth
must remain forever obscure.
The securing Of right and justice
to one man betters the whole world

manhood of the great mass of the PEG

URGES A LABOR SUNDAY"
Rev. Charles stelzIe Proposes to Hon
or the Toiiers.

Rev. Charles Stelzle, who has be
come well known because OF the in
terest he has taken in the recent
movement to establish a Labor Sun
day. thus writes the Labor Advocate
on that subject:
eJust as Memorial day and the sew
eral birthdays show ia apprecia-
ton Of those who rendered patriotic
service, and just as the churches
holy days do honor to those who
have served mankind spiritually, SO
Labor Sunday should be observed b.
the churches to honor the millions Of
toilers who daily serve mankind in
the humber places Of life,
.sThe Presbyterian department Of
church and labor called attention to
this last, year, requesting the nearly
5000 Presbyterian ministers in this
country to preach on some phase Of
the industrial problem on the Sun
day before Labor day. The response
to this appeal was most gratifying.

Laundry work at home would DO
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were Ssed. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually zee
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it a be applied
much more thinly because of it's great

BIG REAL ESTATE
DEAL MADE BY
ARNOLD COMPANY

One OF the biggest Improvements
yet made on Washington and Math-
ewson streets is foreshadowed by the
action OF the Arnold Real Estate COM
pany in purchasing the Elkhorn and
the building now occupied by the
Franklin dyehouse, which front 100
feet on Mathewson street and run back
100 feet on Bewett street to the west.
The land also has a frontage of 75
feet on Washington street
This affords an opportunity long de-
sired by the Arnold Real Estate COM
pany for the enlargement OF the pres
ent three-story brick block occupied
by the News-Democrat, at the south
west corner OF Washington and Math-
ewson streets.
Accordingly the buildings on the
land just purchased will be torn down
and the Arnold building will be ex-
tended over the new sites.
This will make IL easily one of the
largest and most attractive office
buildings on Washington street, as
elevators are TO be put in and every
modern convenience Installed.
