TO call themselves our enemies will
not avail to break our ranks.
Brothers, read the article on unity
by 4. L. Myrick in December's is
sue of our journal, and profit by
the advice given. Ii you desire
better conditions help to bring
them about then You will not feel
as though Sou were not getting
something for nothing Remem,
Der, brother, we should not permit
our minds to narrow down to our
own local affairs. Remember and
take courage in the thought of
thousands in our craft and other
occupations who are striving for
what we are staiving, that is com
Portable homes, the neceSSaries of
life wklle we are able to work and
"a balance that we may spend our
declining days in way that can
not cast shadow of shame on the
generation that has gone or the one
to come. Too many members of
labor organizations today regard
them as only an insurance in case
of accident or sickness. That is
very good so far as it goes, but
brother ask yourself this question,
is that what | Joined for, to
draw benefits when | am sick9 If
so, you are a base hypocrite and Il
Judas to the cause, and the only
act that YOU could do that would
be commend q by true h hearted un-
ion men would be to step out of
their ranks. Men of noble char
acters are what labor organizations
need today, who can be brought to
see the great need of immediate
action. We are proud to say we
have plenty of them, but sorry are
we to say that a great many of
them are still floating with the
tide. Stop floating, and paddle;
the exercise will do you good.

EDITOR LABOR ARGUS:
We are pleased to report that
our. meeting last Thursday evening
was well attended and a lively in
tereSt taken in the business trans
acted, and the discussion of several
subjects of great concern to our To-
sal was listened to by members ca
ger to help our cause advance.
New officers were installed and
were heartily cheered while taking
their places. We are truly glad
that our first meeting held this
year was a success in every partic
ular, and that more interest is be-
ing taken in our meetings than has
been shown for many months.
Come out brothers and help us on
every occasion and we can not help
but gain ground. All you can do
will not be more than you promis-
ed to do. Fifty one more meetings
like the first one held this year
Will insure 1908 the most prosper
Gus year local 1907 ever enjoyed.
In this year, unless your humble
writer misses a guess will made a
period in which unioniSm viii be
tried in this country of ours. We
must stand firm and as unit. We
know that the enemies of labor are
powerful, but if we stand for our
fight upon the principles already
laid down by our worthy leaders,

doubts and fears into ccrtaintiesf
In the name Of that plightcd faith

owe this solemn duty to every sub

must not evade such a responsible
ity, for we have looked to you,
and must we turn in vain for in

such vital interest to rs, 900 peo-
pie. If it is right say SO and we
laboring men, if convinced, will
support it, but if it is wrong de.
nounce it, and we laboring men, If
convin ced, will give you our moral
support. This city is now in its
infancy, but with the coming of
years it will be Il giant in com.
merce. Do not aid the favored
few to impose manacles upon the
masses for twenty years to come.
We supplicate the press to stand
by us in this struggle to maintain
equal rights. Every safeguard
should be thrown around the grant
OF public service corporations. The
sad and solemn experience Of 9th
er cities has taught Us this. Shall
we profit by the history of New
York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati
and Cleveland, or shall we follow
in their demoniac footsteps and de-
liver ourselves bound hand and
foot to the mercy of corporations
Invested with power to crush
competition. The Board of Affairs
faces a serious question and the
feigned innocence of this amend
ment to the old franchise is no
trlfie to be lightly treated by men
who refuse to give it a serious con-
sideration.
Last Thursday night the council
again ran amuck and passed sill
ding scale by a majority vote.
However, it will be noted that six
councilmen opposed it this time.
whereas only four opposed it be-
fore when the famous unlimited
rate was passed by council but We
toed by the Board of Affairs. In
order that the public may not be
mistaken as to the identity of the
councllmen who voted in favor of
this ordinance, we give their names
as well as those who had the cour-
age to oppose it. Members pres
