THE trade union enables the fair EN-.
i 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 protection for the mer-
chant. 1t enables the trade uniorist
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 CD competitive age. Again,
the union headquarters act as a clear
ing-house for the employer. It is con-
venient to send there for additional
help.
The trade union is not flawless 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 it's deficiencies The gains
are greater than the Losses. While the
dominant trait of human nature is
selfishness, just so long will we find
both sides endeavoring to get the best
of the industrial situation. The trade
union has come to stay. 1t is a natural
outgrowth of present-day conditions.

What Has Been Done

WHAT are the reforms that union
w labor is addressing itself to in
it's 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 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
so 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 Ia
Dor and will not cease until it is &C
complished and the child sent to
school. These are some of the things
we are working to accomplish. We
wish to secure the initiative and refer
endum and we are diligently at work
in every state to that end. The work
is progressing excellently. The ini-
tiative and referendum once secured 1t
will form an effective means toward
other reforms.

Rebuke HumorousIy couched.

When E. L. Godkin was editor Ut
the New York Evening Post he was
supposed by many to lack sense Of
humor. But those in his employ who
stood close to him knew better One
morning he sent for his young city
editor.
Last night" said Mr.. Godkin, II
read in the Post an account of the
suicide of boy. Your news paragraph
reported the motive that the boy was
being resisted at home in premature
inclination to marry. Mr.. Blank, can
you imagine how that father felt when
you accused him, for what was no
doubt done in sense of loving duty,
of being the cause of the death of his
child?"
The young city editor stammered
an apology.
THANK youfor your explanation" said
Godkin. But" he went on in a more
decided tone, eff anything like that
ever happens again, will give you fair
warning, sir, that I will leave this
paper! / will not work for a. paper
that says things so cruel!"

will therefore all be pretty deep in
harbor.
"My first stop will be San Juan,
Porto Rico, where the bunkers of all
the vessels will be replenished and
fresh supplies taken aboard. From
San Juan we will next make Santa
Lucia. or the Barbados, and from
there to Pernambuco, Rio de Janerio,
and Montevideo, on the east coast of
South America, and, of course, max
ing a good stop at Sandy Point pun
ia Arenas, at the entrance to the
Straits of Magellan. Passing through
the Straits, we will start on our north
ward journey, taking the inside or
lateral channels in this section of the
world, SO far as may be practicable
with safety, and calling at Valparai-
so. From the CHILEAN city we expect
to make Callao as the next port Of
call, but between these places there
are minor ports into which We may
go if need arise, and 1 do not intend
to pass coal by wherever it can be
had.
ut is possible that we may omit
Panama, if conditions are favorable
but circumstances may compel us to
put in there. Acapulco, Mexico, will
however, be port of call, and it is
somewhere in this vicinity that the
tender Kukui will detach herself from
the fleet and steam off for Honolulu
alone, her officers and crew happy
over the fact that at last they are
free from the slow-going lightships
and can steam along at full speed.
With our ranks thus depleted, we
next will make San Diego, and hope
finally to steam through the Golden
Gate about the 18th of January next,
or four months after leaving New
York"
The tenders are trim looking ships,
being among the finest ever turned
out for the service of the lighthouse
department That they will prove to
be good sea boats is likely, as they
are built on lines which should enable
them to pass through storm and
AS for the lightships, although
smaller than the tenders, they are
the personification of all that is sea-
weatherly. They are each single
screw, 1875 feet long, 20 feet beam
and Is feet deep, the engine having
cylinders 16 and 81 inches by "a inch
es stroke, and supplied with steam
by one boiler 1917 feet long by II
feet wide. These lightships are not
handsome to look at, and hardly
would be taken for steam yachts, yet
they are extremely comfortable and
seaworthy and should be able to take
care of themselves in a storm when
their consorts and protectors, the
tenders, would be making hard wealth
er of it. 1t was deemed safest, how
ever, to send the tenders along
so they could aid the lesser
powered craft in case OF neces-
sity. All are needed in the Pacific,
the Manzanita going out to be placed
on the San Francisco station, the Sc
quota in the district surrounding Pu-
get sound, and the Kukui for the
work of looking after the lighthouses
and buoys of our mid-Pacific posses
sions. the Hawaiian islands. The
lightships will be placed as follows:
Swiftsure Bank, in the Strait of Juan
de Fuca, off the mouth of the Column
bia river, and the third as relief
ship to be stationed at San Francisco.

the midst of his description of the
scenery.
This was kept up about four times,
and then all of a sudden Hodge let
out roar.
For the love of a kind Heaven!"
yelled Will, don't you know that I
came out here to see this horse go
and not to listen to your lectures on
this bum scenery? Why, man, have
lived in Rochester ali'-my life and
know all about the sash factories and
the orphan asylums, and l am on ia

you can shake a whip at, so now
will thank you kindly to point the
reins of this horse and make him
commence"
Zach! oxcoos, oxcoos;" said Her
man. you wish to see him trafel, is
it? So! show you!"
Then Herman turned the old sor-
rel around, pointing his nose at the
oats in the barn, and the wise old
bonerack never stopped running until
they were back home.
Hodge bought the horse on the
strength of that return trip.
That afternoon Hodge took the sor-
rel out for little exercise. Pretty
soon it began to rain, the glue melted,
and when Will saw his horses tail
drop off he nearly fell out of the
wagon.
An hour later Herman was sitting
in his barn door, when he saw a man
running towards him who looked
something like Hodge and something
like vigilance committee.
The man had buggy whip in one
hand and a horses tail in the other,
and he was travelling hell bent for
election.
Herman took one peep at him, then
he fell sideways out Of the barn win
dow and hid for three days in his
cellar.
don't think Will and Herman ever
meet, because both of them are still
alive and uninjured.

Aim of the Future

uTHAT has been accomplished? The
w history of the labor movement
during the last quarter of century
parallels in action and results the no.
blest of all permanent organizations,
that grandest OF human achievements,
our republic, the United States of
America. 1t has, by the unselfish,
honest, energetic effort of her leaders;
the stability and fundamental right
eousness of her cause, destroyed the
barriers of ignorance and disdain, the
injustice of prejudiced critics, and has
made the great mass of the people be-
levers in fine sincerity and stability of
its principles.
What has the future in store? If the
history OF the past acts as the guide
for the future-and I know of no bet
ter guide than the lamp of experience
the results to be accomplished can
not buc accord and merit proper
position in the progress and prosper
ity Of our country, and be the factor
for the preservation of the rights and
ideals of free and enlightened peo-
pie. When the future records the
achievements of the past; when the
impartial verdict of the great events
is rendered, the shape of it's efforts
weighed in the balance will be no
mean proportion of the whole
Determination of public issues in the
referendum of public opinion is the
aim of the future-Peter W. Collins,

Union.

Movement

THE jurisdiction of the American
i Federation of Labor extends over
North America, including Canada. Can
ada is well 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 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

body there. They will be certain,
however, to follow the example that
they see works to such advantage with
us, and look to see an interconti.

Well, off goes Will Hodge to Her

While hitching Herman starts in to
explain what a clever old beast the
sorrel is, and by the time they get

Hodge has an idea that, he is riding
behind Sysonby's stepbrother.
When they got out about half a mile
back went the sorrers right ear, and
Herman said quickly: whoa, whoa,
boy! Whoa!" or
OF course, the old sorrel intended
to whoa anyway, but Hodge didn't
know that.
Then Herman would point at the
scenery with the whip and describe
it, all the time watching the old sor-
rers left ear for the starting signal.
Presently back went the left ear,
and then Herman would stop describ-
ing the scenery, and with a loud "Ged-
dap!" the old sorrel would start off
once more.
At the end of another half mile
back would go the sorrePs right ear,
and Herman would yell "Whoa!" and
then say: Here on the right I
would like to point out to you the

there is Chase & Pendleton's cele-

The favour of Postum, when boiled
according to directions, is always the
same-mild, distinctive, and palatable.
It contains no harmful substance like
caffeine, the drug in coffee, and hence
may be used with benefit at all times.

Work Is to Uplift

DERHAPS the greater thing accom-
i plished by the labor union since
the first Labor day is the conversion
of millions of persons to trade union
principles. There is to-day 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 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 frightening the life Of
unionists and benefiting 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 revenue of the unions,
increase in membership, power, intel
Jigence, sobriety and devotion.
They should strive. and will strive.

For the first time in her life since

and saying to herself: "R. S. V. P!

Few people realize the Importance
Of the words Trade Mark" stamped
on the goods they buy. II they did
it would save them many dollar

When a manufacturer adopts q
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsibility for the merit of his prod

ton in his hands-out in the lime
light-"on the square" with the buy

with himself.

ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand - sidesteps
responsibility, and when these infe-

dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example of the kind of pro-

Too Much Afraid of Dirt.

It Is quite true that cleanliness is
next to goodness" but in this day OF
fads and scientific frills the question
is whether we are not getting alto
gether too afraid of a little dirt. Dirt
has been defined as matter in the
wrong place, and hygiene is the
science of keeping it in the right
place. But we are inclined to think
that we are all a little bit too much

man when he lived and flourished in
Rochester, N. Y.
A friend of ours named Will Hodge
also lived in Rochester at that time,
and Will went to Herman to buy a
horse.
Herman had at this time an old sor.
rel horse which would never travel
over half a mile without baking.
At some remote period of it's life
the sorrel had been locked, but Her,
man decided he could sell the horse
quicker if it had a long tail, so he
glued on tail which he kept in the
barn for this purpose.
One of the peculiar features about
this old sorre1 was the fact that just
before he would begin to balk and stop
dead in his tracks the right ear would

signals, rain or shine.
Another peculiar fact was this, that

The Greatest Need

I CANNOT name the greatest achieve

Labor day, but two that I consider
the greatest are the measures against
child labor and the accomplishment of
the eight-hour day.
Unions should in the future strive
most for general adoption of the eight

other workingmen's questions.-Fran-
