THE UNION DRONE.

Every labor organization has Il
number Of members who are of not
much benefit to them, but yet
they have to recognized them
They may be termed half men
yet it is sometimes better to have
half man than to let the employ
er have the whole man. They
never join a union until they are
compelled to and then only to
secure a job. Self interest is all
they study. They always strive
to get all they can and pay as
little as possible. They are al
ways grumbling at the dues and if
called upon for an assessment, no
matter how little, they want to
know long they will have to pay
1t. They never read their CON
stltutlon or local bylaws unless
where 1T refers to sick or out Of
work benefits, and are no sooner
members than they begin to find
fault with the workings of the or
ganlzatlon, always telling how
they think it ought to be done, on
all occasions, but at the union meet
ing Committee work has as much
horror for them as the SMALLPOX.
they rarely attend the meeting of
their union Cor fear the boss will
not like it, and they are usually
behind with their dues and never
pay amy attention to the label
They use "scab'' articles because
they arc used to them and
whenever their attention is called
to it they are offended and say the
party is a knocker and trying tt
''bawl'' them out. They SHOULD
be reminded of their acts at every
opportunity, and organized labor
would be better in every way
such men could be dispensed will
and made to realize that they ar.
not made of the right material
but they are as hard to get rid o
as the itch. The sooner this elias
of union men take tumble t,
themselves and work in the inter
est Of the union as well as them
selves the greater the success O
the labor movement
Don't be Il drOne, be worker.

LES US ORGANIZE.

Let us unite together for the pur-
pose OF bctteriug our conditions.
Let us all realize the truth Of the
saying that Gin union there is
strength Today organization is
as necessary as the air we breathe.
Without it we can never hope to
secure for ourselves and our fami-
lies more than Il bare existence.
w hat hope is there that the future
Will not be filled with hard
ships the like Of which we
have never been called uDOn TO
endure. If We are to go struggling
along alone, without the assistance
OF our fellows, without the helping
hand being extended, without the
word OF encouragement to cheer us
on when the hour is darkest, black
indeed, is the prospect that stretch
cS before us.
therefore let US organize I'hro'
organization we come in contact
with the best Of those who toll
We find that there arc those who
can profit by the advice we have
TO offer. We learn that there are,
things that We have never had the
opportunity OF hearing before that
VIII help us in our daily lives.
There is in organization more than
the mere banding together for sell
lish purposes. When we stand
alone. how narrow is the it'll.
world that we inhabit! when we
lind ourselves associated with mon
whose experiences have been wider
ana larger than our own, what
new avenues of thought are opened
up to u.s. We see our shoItcom-
lnSs and our failures and the rem
edles therefor. We see how we
can, without the expenditure of
any additional energy, pcrhans
uo''ic AN" treble our earning ca
pacltN. and consequently secure
more happiness and pleasure in
- i''N '''lN lol ourselves, but
tor those who are linked to us bv
ties of love and friendship.
DallN we see cXemplilieu the ben
ciitS that accrue from organization.
All that tn" workers of the coun
try have today has come to them
through organization. And even
with organization their present
conditions have only been brought
about by hard and persistent st,ur
Cling. Nothing has ever come to
the toiling masses that they have
not secured through wears of FIGHT
ing. And i'll order to keep what
we have we must organize. This
is a fact that must be apparent to
every man who keeps in touch
with current events.
Employers associations. HAVING
for their purpose the destruction
of the workinGmcn' unions. are
daily giving evidence of their pur-
poses. At the head of these EN-

COPPER ADVANCES
STEADILY.

The fact that the price OF copper
has been steadily advancing both IN
the United States and Europe during
several days past warrants the belief
that the red metal reached the low
price and that it win now settle at a
figure which win allow reasonable
profit to the producer and at the
same time not bar its use for any
purpose for which it has become pop
ular in the past
The steadily advancing price pears
out the statements made during re
cent months by many wen posted au-
thorities in the copper world that cop
per consumers have been totally with
out reserve stocks and that the sur
plus held by the producers would be
quickly taken whenever an agreement
could be reached as to what was 20
be the stable price
While high priced copper increases
the profits of the producers and adds
prosperity throughout the copper pro
ducing country by increasing wage
scales, still it is conceded by all that
it viii be better if ami abnor-
mai price of copper shall not prevail
again. The high mark reached dur
ing the early part of the present year
was responsible for the slump and
while it brought higher wages for a
time We have seen thousands Of min
ers lose their employment on account
of it and it will be sometime, even
under the most favorable conditions
before a full resumption of copper
production at the maximum rate may
be expected.
With copper at 1e to IS cents pei
pound there viii be no lack of activ
ity in the copper countries or lack Ct
good profit for those engaged in the
production Of the red metal; at sucl
a price it Is the general opinion thai
there wiz be steady demand for al
that can be supplied.

with President Roosevelt on the Mis-

by the president that he would favor
separate statehood. returned home at
once and began to encourage and ad-
wise the people of that territory in
their efforts for statehood. Since Gov
ernor Curry returned from his visit
10 the president there has been much
enthusiasm aroused by him in the
work of preparation for the statehood
fight which is expected during the ap-
preaching congress. In many of the
counties of New Mexico statehood
leagues have seen formed. It is TO be
hoped that Governor Ribbey viii be-
come as enthusiastic and earnest in

is that influential citizens and officers

driven out. Naturally the Indians re
venged themselves by killing cattle,
stealing horses. and occasionally muir
dering men. Mexicans and foreign
ers alike have been the victims Of the
revengeful fury of the Yaquis. The
Mexican government and the state of
Sonora appropriate annually large
sums of monye for the subiugation of
the Yaquis,
If the Mexican government would
handle the proposition as its merits re-
quire, the marauding would cease;
there would be no further need OF the
large appropriations, and the rapid de-
velopment of the mineral resources of
the Yaqui region would add many dol
lars to the treasury of the republic.
At present. in an effort to put an end
to their warlike activities. ali Yaquis
found OF the ranches are constantly
in danger of arrest. whether bearing
arms or not. and of being deported
sometimes. but more commonly they
meet the fate of death.
1t seems quite possible that if the
Indians can be. prevented or discour-
aged from seeking work al the mines.
which is seemingly the earnest de
sire of the big rsnchers, labor on the
ranches would be more abundant than
1t now is, and the ~Broncho Yaquis'
would receive less assistance in the
way OF money. arms and ammunition
than they DO now.

The Santa Fe New Mexican in
call to the faithful exclaims:
New Mexico's chances of being ad-
mitted into the union as a state next
wear are conceded to be all but as
sured if the people of the territory
want it, The sixtieth congress will
undoubtedly take action on the propo-
sition for an enabling act at its first
session, which viii convene carly in
December. A united and determined
effort in the meantime cannot but
have a salutary effect. There is moth
ing to lose and everything to gain"
Enthusiasm rising higher the New
Mexican continues:
The psychological moment has ar
rived to work for statehood and the
people should strike while the iron is
hot. The Santa Fe County Statehood
league is a step in the right direction.
II should not be allowed to die a.
bornin', nor languish in a state of in
activity, but should be up and doing"

We regret this more on account of
New Mexico than on our own account.
On the authority of Governor Curry,
who in turn spoke on the authority OF
President Roosevelt little less than
three weeks ago, New Mexico organ
lied a statehood campaign which has
swept the territory like a prairie fire.
in every county and in almost every
hamlet statehood leagues were argan-
lied and nightly and daily statehood
rallies have usurped the places of all
forms of amusement The "Piunder-
bund," the Coyotes" the yellow

General C. F. Ainsworth, the ex-
candidate for congress in this terri
tory on the joint statehood ticket, is
reported as saying that President
Roosevelt told him. in the presence
of two Witnesses. that he wonld veto
any single statehood bin for Arizona
and New Mexico that ever comes up
10 him. That statement was made by
the president in his desperation over
the opposition to josnture In Arizona.
It was made to have repeated in this
territory BY Ainsworth in the hope
that Joint statehood might be accept

aoNEST MINING
VERSUS STOCK JosslNo.
In these days we hear a great deal
about predatory wealth. the term be
ing used to designate those riches OBJ
tanned BY plundering
President Roosevelt has had a good
deal TO say upon this subject. and
many OF The magazines are running
articles directed TO the high nnan-
cfers, asking them how they got their
money.
There are few OF these wall street
magnates who care about having their
methods Investigated. not thai 1t is

themselves liable to the law. but they
have sailed very close to the line. and
the manner in which their fortunes

from moral standpoint if not IRON
legal one.
The wrecking of corporations and
then recognizing them has been a
favorite method adopted by these ma
n.pulators TO secure the money of
trusting stockholders.
Naturally men engaged in this bust
ness are subject TO criticism. and IN
spite of their wealth they do not
stand high in the opinion of the Amer
lean people.
There are rich men in the United
States against whom no criticism of
this kind can lie, and these are the
men who dug their fortunes out of
the ground.
That is TIE cleanest big money that
can be obtained.
In securing it no one is robbed and
on the contrary digging it out and
treating it affords living for great
many people =
Honest mining in the ground, as
distinguished from mining in Wall
street. is as honorable an occupation
as anyone can engage in.
OF course. even mining can be pros
tituted when it takes the form of
stock manipulation.
Without desiring to say anything
unkind ST Mr.. Heinze at time when
he appears to have suffered misfor-
tune, it is impossible not TO feel that
ii is a great pity that he could not
content himself with digging wealth
from the ground instead of trying to
increase his fortune through mining
stockjobbing transactions.
The money extracted from the bow
els of the earth is clean money, while
that obtained by the manipulation of
mining shares is different because It
comes from the pockets of other in
vestors instead of out of the earth.
Mining when properly conducted is
one of the most legitimate occupa-
lions there is in the world, and those
who engage in it along approved lines
not only add to the wealth Of the
world, but they furnish high class
of employment to labor.
The true mining man, as distin-
guished from the mining stock gam
bier. can look the whole world in the
face. conscious that he has not robbed
or ruined anyone. but that, on the
contrary, he has furnished a living
for great many employees, and. to
