floats in the line of the procession,
which We're far III excess of those
participating in any previous
Labor Day celebration here, show
ing conclusively that the business
men, as well as the toilers them
selves, are not slow to recognize
the benefits which accrue to them
from the CO. operation of the work
ing men and women to benefit
their own conditions.
The parade started promptly at
the hour advertised and not only
attracted thousands Of spectators
who lined the route of the pro-
cession, but elected many words of
commendation for these who had
planned the display and carried it
out, and for those who participated
in it, as well. The parade con-
sisted of some forty sections, led by
Chief of Police GULL and a detail
of police, and stretched out for over
a mile along the principal streets.
The Citizens Concert Band follow
ed the police, and the organizations
and business floats came in the

of the Charleston Typographical
Union, told the members and their
guests some interesting things about
the old days.
Can You Earn a Million.

1t is a long time since Jesus
Christ piled the trade of carpenter
in Nazareth. Suppose one Of his
fellow workmen at that tine had
been endowed with Immortality on
earth. Suppose he had worked at
his trade every week in the year,
and every year from that time
on. Suppose he had saved ten
dollars out of his wages every
single week. He would have been
as rich as Rockefeller long before
this, wouldn't he4 Well if you
think SO, just sit down and figure
it out. You will find that he
would not yet be quite i million
aire-that Rockefeller would be
able to buy him out hundred
times over and have plenty to
spare. And yet you are expected
to believe that our capitalists have
accumulated their wealth by
simple industry and economy, and
that any workingman could do the
same if he would-New York Call.

Held Social Session.

The Charleston Typographical
Union entertained with a recep
ton at Odd Fellows hall Sunday
afternoon in honor of Hon. Samuel
B. Donnelly, former president of
the International Topographic cal
Union and the principal speaker
of the Labor Day celebration
Monday. After the social session,
in which the former president met
ali the local ''boys'' and their
friends, the assemblage repaired to
the dining room where lunch was
served by the ladies'.
After th he luncheon, several short
speeches were made, chief of which
was that by Mr.. Donnelly, who
spoke Interestingly of some of the
problems with which he had come
in contact by virtue of his position
as secretary of the New York State
Board of Arbitra ton. Mr..
Donnelly was introduced by Mr..
John r. Foster.
Mr.. r. H. kuntz made a short
talk on behalf of the Trades As

Throw Away Your Hammers.

The man who is always running
around hammering others should
be treated to a coat of tar and
feathers. More harm has been
done in this way than it is pos
sible to imagine. The correct way
to build up your own town is to
stand by every man in the place
who is trying to do right and
shows tendency to promote the
business interests Of the town.
Whenever man is doing well do
not try to tear him down if his
business is respectable and legal.
All residents should be partners
for the best interest of the COM
munity, and not opponents,
Every business man who treats his
customers honestly and courteous
ly and fairly will get his share,
and the more business that can be
secured by united effort, the better
1T will be for all. When a town
ceases to grow it begins to die, and
the more people try to kill each
other in business the more rapidly
utter ruin comes to all. Stand
together for the advancement of
every deserving citizen. If a man
shows ability to prosper, do not
pull him back through jealousy or
weigh him down through cold
indifference.

Works Both Ends.

When the average, contractor or
employer in these days is talking
to the newspapers the interviews
read something like this:
eyes sir, the country was never
more prosperous. Our BUSINESS
has increased so pertcent over last
season. Got all we can do and
prospects brightest"
When he is waited on by his
employees for raise he makes a
noise like this:
''Sorry, boys, but the business
isn't paying. The raw material
and labor are taking the profits.
We took out contracts when
materials were low and labor
plenty, and we're absolutely run
ming at a loss when we figure in
the capital investcd.'' -s-..
A protean artist on the vaude-
vile stage couldn't make quicker
''lightning changes.'
According to modern business
ethics this isn't handling the truth
recklessly; it's simply on attempt
ing to work both ends to fatten the
middle and right in the middle
sits the contractor and employer
ready to fry the fat.
We don't object strenuously to the
method, but we do insist that the
emplOye is entitled at least to the
drippings.
The merchant who best appreci-
ates your union dollar is the adver-
tlser in your union paper.

Blacklist and Boycott.

The courts have said that the
blacklist is legal while the boycott
is illegal. The blacklist is the
weapon of the master, while the
boycott is the weapon of the slave.
The blacklist is weapon that
is always used in the dark and the
victim while knowing that the
exploiter has branded him as an
outcast, is unable to furnish the
absolute proof that he has been
exiled and marked by the indus
trial tyrant who owns the job.
The boycott, to be effective.
must be used in open. broad day
light, and it can only be made
potent through publicity. Yet the
courts place their judicial sanction
upon weapon that stabs in the
dark while they condemn a weapon
which can only be used in the
broad light of day.
1t is becoming more apparent
that men of economic power control
the courts and that slaves have
no standing in ''temples OF
justice. .'-The Miners Magazine

to wipe out the scourge, and in

Frank w. Snyder '
Severely Injured

Frank w. Snyder, publisher of
the Labor Argus, sustained in
juries on last Saturday night which
have confined him to his bed ever
since. Mr. Snyder was one Of the
committee appointed by the
Trades Assembly to arrange for
the Labor Day celebration, and
had met with the committee on
Saturday night to perfect the de-
tails for the celebration on Monday,
and was returning to his home
shortly before midnight when he
fell backwards down the steps
leading to his residence, sustaining
a severe confusion Of the head, in
addition to other painful injuries,
which necessitated calling in a
physician. While his condition
on the whole has shown gradual
improvement, it will be some days
yet before he will be able to re.
sumo charge of his business.
