Greater Equity

THE eight-hour day is the greatest
l achievement of unionism, but the
original intention was not that men
should make overtime, but that more
men should be employed.
In the making of contracts for con-
struction work on buildings, etc, en-
ployers figuring on the cost of labor
usually consider the wage question as
the most important. The strong unions
numerically generally succeed in OBJ
tanning about as high wages as they
demand. This does not leave a large
amount of money to be distributed in
wages by the sub-contractors on the
job, who have to figure pretty closely
in order to come out ahead financially.
The result is that the smaller and
weaker unions cannot obtain as high
wages as their fellow-workers in the
larger unions, who were provided for
first.
In my opinion, one of the most i'm
p~ortant things to be accomplished by
the labor unions is to establish a more
equitable distribution of wages to all
workmen employed on contract work,
with due consideration to the contrac-
tor.-Jeremiah J. Donovan, President
Boston Building Trades Council.

TRADE
Its Methods and Its Goal.

THE trade union enables the fair en-
L ployer-whO, like the fair unionist,
predominates-tO estimate his labor
on a living basis. This system is a
good deal preferable to figuring on
what his unfair competitor can pro-
cure his cheapest help for. Not only
that, but it is a protection for the mer-
chant. 1t enables the trade unionist
to live as becomes an American citi-
zen, and has a powerful influence in
procuring fair compensation for the in
dividual whose conscience will not
permit him to join any combination in
this free ca competitive age. Again,
the union headquarters act as a clear
ing-house for the employer. 1t is con-
venient to send there for additional
help.
The trade union is not fawless by
any means. 1t is a good deal easier
to tear down than to build up, but the
latter course applied with intelligence
to the labor movement will overcome
many Of its deficiencies. The gains
are greater than the losses. While the
dominant trait of human nature is
selishness, Just so long will we find
both sides e%ndeayoring to get the best
of the industrial situation. The trade
union has come to stay. 1t is a natural
outgrowth of present-day conditions.

Child Sufferers

THE child labor in America should
/ fill us with shame and pity. There
are 10000 boys and girls in the
United States under 16, earning their
own bread. OF these $4,000, mostly
girls, are employed in the textile mills.
Thousands of children, many of them
not more than six or seven years of
age, are working IL hours a day; muE
titudes of them through the long hours
OF the night. These children live an
average of but four years after they
bnter the damp, dusty, noisy mills.
And all this in our rich, free, great
America. These little martyrs toll for
: pittance to swell the dividends OF the
stockholders who live in ease and lux
ury. Not even heather nations have
cast the burdens of life upon the lit
tie children. Only in Christian ma
lions do we throw these innocent, help
less children into the factories to grind
them up body and soul into dividends
and dollars. Exchange.

Alfred sent a second message to the

of Alvin's discovery and asking relief
from his train for the day. A third
dispatch went to the county sheriff,
telling him of the wire tapping and
of the evidence against Cadwallader.
While waiting for replies Alfred
wrote to Gov. Stanford, i~nclosing the

tons. But this was soon done, and

What Has Been Done

VXTHAT are the reforms that union
w labor is addressing itself to in
its effort to reach the good time com
ing, and what means are being en-
ployed? In the first place it should be
noted We have come a long way al
ready. The hours of labor have been
reduced from sunrise and sunset to
ten and then to eight hours; Chinese
immigration has been stopped, as al
80 the importation of contract labor;
the sweatshop has been eliminated in
large measure and wages have been
advanced. That is worth while. We
have undertaken to abolish child la
Dor and will not cease until it is ac-
complished and the child sent to
school. These are some of the things
VI are working to accomplish. We
wish to secur the initiative and refer
endum and we are diligently at work
in every state to that end. The work
is progressing excellently. The mi
tiative and referendum once secured it
will form an effective means toward
other reforms.

World Movement

THE jurisdiction of the American
i Federation of Labor extends over
North America, including Canada. Can
ada is we'll organized, especially On
tario, Quebec and the maritime prov
inces. A union card is good any
where in these places. Indeed, the
union card of England is accepted
here. England is very well unionized
and they have a congress there that
is organized on lines similar to the
American Federation. Two delegates
attend the annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor and
two delegates from the latter attend
their annual meeting. Germany,
France, Austria and Russia are we'll
organized, but there is no Central
body there. They will be se:tain,
however, to follow the example that
they see works to such advantage with
us, and l look to see an i%nterconti,

soon prevailed. She awoke late in
the morning, depressed by a dread her
rest had not banished. Her first
thought was of Uncle Billy; her next
was of Phineas; and from him her
mind flew to the strange dispatch.
She dressed hastily and ran down

ly she searched for a clew, some pre-
science of its Importance holding her
to the task needless of breakfast and
of Uncle Billy. Suddenly the slgnifi-
canoe of the paper she had picked
up on the hillside after her encounter
with Phineas flashed upon her. She
found it and began her work anew, re-
warded at last by a message that
whitened her cheek, ~unsteadied her

Trade Agreement

THE greatest thing accomplished by
4 trade and labor unions since the
first Labor day, in my opinion, is the
settled conviction that the toilers of
our country can best conserve their in
dustrial interests by the application
of we'll regulated trade unionism.
The great trade associations of our
country have been to the commerce Of
North America, through the applica-
ton of the trade agreement with it's
pacific purposes, what the Declaration
of independence was to the body poll
tic in these United States. 1t also pro-
vides for the logical settlement by
conference or arbitration Of disputes
which heretofore we're only settled By
the cold-blooded logic of force. The
discipline and effectiveness of trade
unionism, and, as a result, the opera
ton of the collective bargain or trade
agreement, is the greatest thing &C
complished by trade associations since
the first Labor day.
What is the text step for the unions?
The next step for those who have not
already taken it is to make thorough
preparation and arrangement for the
full introduction Of the eight.hour
work-day in all industrial and agricul-
tural pursuits. Given more leisure
from the drudgery of toll, the working
man or woman will seek and secure
opportunity for the mental betterment
which will make them happier men
and women, better citizens, more
clever, prompt and alert producers; it
will them to look for better con-
ditions of life, all of which are emo
bling and will tend to the supremacy
of the nation which gives the best OPP
portunities along this li~ne.-James
Duncan, Secretary-Treasurer of the
Granite Cutters International Associa-
tion of America.

Experiments Seem to Show that They
Have SentineIs.

Is a hornets nest guarded by SEN
tinels, after the manner Of ant hills?
1t is not so easy to decide, for their
private habits do not invite familiar
approach. But some experiments
seemed to point that way. No noises,
however near or strident, had the least
effect upon the workers. Blow on
divers instruments as loudly and
shrilly as l would. they poured in and
out of the gate or labored on the walls,
intent wholly upon their own affairs.
But at the slightest jar upon the win
dow or shutter, out flew a bevy Of
irate insects and flung themselves
against the wire window screen with
an angry bump" that showed how
good was their intention, at least, to
defend their home. 1t was always SO;
a squad of workers, free and ready for
aggressive duty, seemed to be lurking
near the gate, prompt to sally forth
upon alarm. Even at night a few kept
nearby, and although their port had
lost Its vicious swing and they moved
about with a sluggish pace, like

Its Wisdom Shown

THE growth of organized labor in the
1 United States is shown by the
great increase in the membership of

most powerful body Of wage.workers
in the country, if not in the world.
Organized labor is stronger in Ameri-
ca than ever before. The cry for the

the closed shop and the sympathetic
strike is met on every hand by ex-
amples of the wisdom of collective bar.

Work Is to Uplift

DERHAPS the greater thing accom-.
1 plished by the labor union since
the. first Labor day is the conversion
of millions of persons to trade union
principles. There is today less apathy
and more activity among unionists
than ever before. Perhaps the great
est thing accomplished is the in
creased morals of the whole body Of
unionists; perhaps it is a knowledge
of increased power and responsibility.
The greatest economic thing accom-
plished has been the reduction of the
hours of labor to millions of persons,
enriching and lengthening the life Of
~unionists and beneiting the whole
community.
The next step will be upon historic
lines, a closer solidarity of Union with
union, increased wisdom in manage
ment, increased loyalty to principles,
increase in the G of the unions,
increase in membership, power, intel
ligence, sobriety and devotion.
