IN THE FIELD
g OF FLABOR


AS stated in the caption OF this article,
everybody is good for something" and
every member OF this organization should
lend their aid and give freely OF their
abilities to promote its growth and well
fare.
SUCCESS OF HIGH DUES.
The United Hatters OF America Is one
OF the most remarkable labor organiza-
tions In the country. Its officers state
that It's success dates from the time II
adopted high dues Every member pays
ger cent OF his earnings into the union
treasury Two per cent goes TO the inter-
national union, while ] per cent is used
for local expenses. There are 5000 mem
bers In the union out OF 1900 engaged In
the business In North America.
One OF the most vital questions 10 be
considered by any trade union is that OF
its income, in other words, the amount OF
the dues paid, for the dues paid I'm any
organization regulate and limit it's activi-
ties. Low dues must of necessity limit the
power of the association, benefits must be
few and the amount Of the relief re-
ceived, OF a modest nature. THE number
of officers and organizers employed can
not be large, for no more can be paid
out than is being received. Low dues
must mean a cheap organization, one
that can hardly hold it's own when times
other organizations for assistance when
any number OF it's members have been on
strike for a month or so.-Ex.
ROYAL ARCANUMS OPEN SHOP.
question which caused considerable
discussion at the national convention OF
the Royal Arcanum, held recently. In
Boston, was that of placing the union
label OF the printers upon the printed
matter OF the order. The resolution re-
quiring the use OF the label was finally
killed at the last days session The only
reason assigned Is that the organization,
which does It's own printing In Boston,
employs both union and non-union men,
running an open shop, and II was deemed
advisable not TO show favoritism 10 either
side.-Ex
CONVICT LABOR IN MISSOURI
Missouri is one OF the few states which
still sells its convicts to persons. firms
and corporations TO be used In manufac-
turing any article the purchaser desires
to produce Missouri receives 80 40 and
30 cents per day for these convicts sold
into slavery Free labor OF Missouri and
other states Is forced to compete with this
convict labor, which results In demoraliz-
ing the price OF the product OF fair labor.
A mighty protest went 10 the recent legis-
lature OF Missouri from both manufac-
turers and workingmen. and the senate
selected Senator Frank McDayid or
Springfield. Senator Henry l.. Eads or
Pattonburg and Senator John L. Brad
ley 10 investigate the convict leasing sys-
TEN and recommend some vlan to abolish
It, which would be more of-a reformatory
plan as well as doing away with the evil
complained Of Many union men In all
parts OF the country are writing these
three senators reghrding the leasing sys-
TEN and suggesting plans TO solve tho
convict labor question. and much interest
is being taken in the Investigation soon
to be made by the senators OF the peni-

DOES
some KNOCKING
At ROOSEVELT

Hendersonville. n. c., July 1.-THE
feature OF yesterdays session Of the
North Carolina State Bar association was
the annual address delivered by ex-Judgo
Alton b. Parker OF New York. The gist
OF ex-Judge Parker's address lay in this
portion OF IT.
THE campaign against the government
tai plan of the fathers is on and has been
for several years. 1t has for It's leader
the most accomplished politician of our
history. Behind him and backing him
stand these great corporations of the
country which are engaged in interstate
commerce and INSURANCE. Their reason
is that IL is easier TO deal with one gov
ernment than with many. 1t is not their
purpose to submit proposed amendments
OF the constitution 10 the people as the
constitution provides-a procedure with
which no one could find fault as II Of
fers an opportunity for discussion before
the people prior TO their action. Rather
II Is their scheme TO accomplish the CEN
tralization OF power by unconstitutional
and therefore dishonest methods. These
include: % Congressional LEGISLATION as
suming powers not granted. but express
ly retained either TO the states or the peo-
ple CD Executive exercise of powers not
granted, and the seizure, in one form or
another, OF powers belonging to other de-
partments OF government; go The substi-
tuition of statutes for common law"

him subject TO a fine OF $1,000. He went
through the documents in his desk sever
