finishing touches to be put on the

the miserieS of their less fortunate
brothers-less fortunate in the
sense that they have not been able
to accumulate vast fortunes at the
expense of undcrpaid workers
and find their victims always
among the unorganized.
Why is it that organization
among the working classes is OPP
posed by these employers associa
tions7 Simply because they know
that as long as the wOrkingmen are
banded together they are in posi-
ton to demand (and enforce the
demand) living wages and decent
eragc employer, the workingman in
his factory is nothing more than a
means to an end-and that end is
dividends. His idea is to squeeze
all he can out Of the worker and
give as little as possible in return.
w here there is no organization,
and the worker has to deal imdiViu-
ually with the employer, this is the
condition that, as Il rule, exists.
And this is the condition that the
members of the employers associa-
ton are trying to make general by
their opposition to labor unions.
This is why they are opposed to
collective bargaining on the part of
the workingmen.
TO the workers who are outside
of the unions of their craft we
would say that their interests will
be best served by afliliating them
selves at once with their fellow
workers..

your chains, and a world to gain.

A HUMAN GOUHL.

The situation in Boise today
may be summarized as follows:
A man who is by his own CON
fession the most wholesale and
cowardly murderer the world has
ever known, who has deserted his
wife, betrayed ever friend he ever
had, stole everything within reach
from chccscs to high grade gold
ore, and, III general, shown him
self the most complete degenerate
of modern times. viii be confront
ed by scores of men whose records
bare no stain, who have been true
to their friends and their class,
and who will testify that Orchard S
statements are a mass of lies.
Which will the jury believe?
Orchard has confessed that he
was in the employ of the Mine
Owners Association.
He has admitted that he had free
access inside the military lines at a
time when all other union men
were being hunted down like dogs.
His latest wife Will go on the
stand to swear that their home was
never Disturbed while those Of all
other union men were looted.
Union officers at Cripple Creek
are prepared to prove that he was
suspected as spy and ordered out
of union headquarters months be
fore he claims to have still been in
the employ Of the Western FEEDER
alton Of Miners
Scores of witnesses are Springinu
up in every part of the country
eager to swear to the lalSity Of
different points in his story.
