THE WRONG VIEW.

THE WRONG VIEW. .n
Some members of organized labor
they are few in number, we are glad
to say-believe that the sole object
OF the labor union is to maintain a
high scale of wages. In this belief
they are very much mistaken.
The labor union has many more OBJ
jects than that of looking after wages
alone. There are the charities of the
labor union-the sick and death bene.
fits and the homes for the disabled
and decrepit; then there are the So
ciaf ties that spring from a natural
and proper association through trade
unionism, and the friendships. that
very frequently ripen into lasting af-
lection; and there are a thousand
other ways in which the labor union
is an immense benefit; not only to
it's own members, but to mankind in
general
All this is aside from the educa-
e'OAe@A ou oAId60o VI Tue ldDOr union,
which are too great to be calculated
and commented upon in a short article
But above and beyond even all this
stands the great and noble objects of
the labor union-that of promoting
the interests of the working masses
by utilizing every conceivable means
within the bounds of honor and rea-
son to ward off the encroachments Of
predatory wealth and the oppression
Of heartless employers who chase the
almighty dollar
Within this great scope of the labor
unions work is combined all thet goes
to make up proper conception. of
right and justice, liberty and happi-
ness for those who are compelled to
toll for their daily bread.

THE QUESTION OF RIGHT.

Every attempt to legislate in the
interests of the laboring man is met
with the declaration that it is an in
reference with the rights of property.
How would property be creatd but for
labor And who will say that the man
who furnishes the capital should be
permitted to decide without appeal
the conditions upon which property
shall be created by those who labor
for him? We often hear it asked by
the manufacturer:
my own business?' That is not the
question. If the manufacturer will
set himself to work to produce some
thing with his own hands nobody will
question his right to control his own
business. But something more is i'm
piled by his question. If he would
put the question fairly, he would ask
not Have I not the right to manage
my own business?" but, rather, Have
l not the right, in managing my own
business, to regulate the lives, the
liberty, the hopes, the happiness of
those whom l employ?" But to ask
the question in this form would be to
suggest negative answer, while he
demands an affirmative answer
Those who claim the right to arbi-
trarily demand the hours, the wages
and the conditions of labor demand
the right to arbitrarily determine the
status of the laboring man and to fix
the conditions that are to surround
him and his posterity. Is it an inter-
ference with property rights to de-
mand that the laboring. man shah
have fair share of the proceeds of
his own toil-a fair share of the prop.
erty which he creates. His right to
accumulate property should not be
ignored Not only should he be al.
lowed to accumulate property, but he
should have leisure to enable him to
enjoy communion with his own family
and to fit himself for intelligent parti-
cipation in the affairs of his govern
ment. BY what authority will the
capitalist put his claim to larger divi-
dends above the rights of the wage
earners and welfare of the wage.

HAVING ANOTHER SPELL.

Grape-nuts Post has started his peri
Odical rantings again in the daily
press at so much per rant, which is
conclusive evidence that he has taken
an inventory and found that the sale
o. his saw dust product is not what
he believes it ought to be. He and
Van Cleave are in the same boat and
they should be wise enough to know
that IN their present predicament the
more noise they make the worse it is

THE WORLD NEEDS YOUR
SMILES.

There's duty we owe to each other
AS we journey along on this earth,
It's a cheer for our down-hearted
brother,
A bit of good nature and mirth.
So don't be a "grouch'' and a growler,
Cut out sorrow and try to be gay
Everybody has plenty of troubles,
And the world needs your smiles
every day.
Like ray of sunshine when the storm
cloud
Has broken and gone with the rain,
Is the smile Of some hearty good fell
low,
TO heart that is burdened with
pain.
1t cheers the poor mortal despairing,
And helps him along on his way,
So be generous with: joy and good
humor,
day.
To be happy means all life can give
us, -
To laugh is far better than cry;
The earth will re-echo your laughter.
But it giveth no voice to a sigh.
Then why not be jovial and merry.
Here below very short is our STAY,
So here's good health to the "ha, ha.' -
The world needs "our smiles every
day.. 'a.- -

SUPPLY AND DEMAND.


That the law of supply and demand
has its place in nature and in print.
tive, natural conditions, no thinking
man will dispute; but when we realize
what science has done and what pro-
gress has been made to overcome the
primitive conditions of nature; what
has been accomplished in machinery
and tools of labor, in the means OF
transportation of products and of man,
the means of transmission of infor.
nation and intelligence, the fact be.
comes Immediately patent that man
has made nature conform to his wants
and that the original conception OF
the law of supply and demand has
been largely overcome, and can be
still further overcome by intelligent,
comprehensive and determined action

ISOLATED effort shall refuse to have
their brain and Drawn, their hearts
and the hearts of those beloved by
them, weighed in the same scale with

WOULD OPEN OUR EYES.
If we could for time eliminate
trades-unionism, with all it's influence
and achievements, and could expert
ence the conditions that would pre-
vail If the enemies of unionism were
allowed to carry out their policies
without resistance; If we could wit
nuess the poverty, misery and servil-
ity that would exist under the unre-
strained power of labor's enemies,
how eager we would be to return to
the conditions existing under organize
ed labor, and how much more earnest
we would be in promoting it's cause!
We do not appreciate the full value
OF trades-unionism; if we did, we
would never allow indifference to
take possession of u.s.

WOMEN AND THE LABEL,

rock of unionism. 1t is the priceless

1t is the only means we have to

not insist upon the label being upon
