ASK FOR THE LARET.

When union men buy goods and
do not ask for the label they really
denounce their principles, says JUS
tice. When they call for the union
label they help unionism, wages and
conditions, too. You should con-
slider yourself an employer, as you
indirectly employ the men who
make the goods you purchase. If
you insist on the label you are en-
ploying union men. If you take the
product without the label you are
employing non-union or "scab" la
Dor. Unless you show that you have
interest in unionism by demanding
the label the business men will not
90 to the trouble of keeping label
goods, and the union idea will fall
into disrepute with the public. You
should always call for the label,
whether it is possible to get it or
not, as it will lat least advertise
unionisun.

QUEER TRAITS OF HUMAN Ma.

We often hear it said that one
half of the world does not know
how the other half lives. This is
but another way of saying that a
man seldom looks beyond the
sphere pf his own welfare. If he
Is prosperous he takes 1t for grant,
ed that all is we'll with the world
and it's people; if he meets with
adversely he thinks that the world
has gone wrong, that "wreck and
ruin" have befallen every son of
Adam.
This is trait that is not pecul-
lar to any class; it is found in the
employer and the employee, in the
business man and the professional
man. In each class we find indiv-
iduals in whom this trait is more
pronounced than in the average
man.

AN EXPERIMENT.

Why does the union man stand
so resolutely for the closed shop?
1t is not that he has anirnosity to-
wards his non-union fellowman; not
that he wishes to see him and his
family suffer or have their inalien-
able rights curtailed to the slight
est degree; not that he would mon
opolize and control the labor mar
ket. But because he is engaged
in the greatest experiment of mod
ern days-the securing of the rights
of all who toll; the establishment
of right relations between employ
er and laborer, the equalization Of
social and industrial conditions 50

who works may have a chance to
live and enjoy it.

PEELED to agree TO things that ap-
pear extremely unreasonable to- the
average man, and then when that
same man becomes a boss in
less than years time, he goes to
the other extreme and wants to
know why he can't run his bust
ness to suit himself without any in
reference or dictation from others.
1t explains why some employers
condemn the boycott while they use
the black list; why the lawyer can
not see justice in the demand for
a union shop while he insists that
it is just and necessary for all law
yer to be in the bar associat ton.
In each case self interet predomin-

contemporary says:
1T is easy to believe after eating
a hearty meal that everybody in the
world is we'll fed and happy. That
is why the fellow who is loaded up
with turkey, lobster, frog legs,
champagne, etc., cannot understand
why working people complain Of
their lot. They do not realize that
there are people in this world who
think they have a banquet when
they have bread and water.
'They do not know that there
are families huddled together in
many cellars and stables. They do
not understand these things and
consequently they fight the unions
who are trying to do some good for

selves. They are fighting the union
because they are protecting them

That was the beginning Of a SEN

PROTEST AGAINST THE NAVY.

Some two hundred and seventy five
clergymen Of New York City have
sent to congress the following pro.
test:
1--WE, the undersigned clergymen Of
New York City, voicing, as we believe.
the sentiments of many thousands of
American citizens, earnestly protest
against the extravagant demand for
am addition Of over $60,000,000 in the
form Of four new battleships, cruisers,
etc, to the naval budget of last year,
inasmuch as no danger threatens the
country not known last April when
President Roosevelt told the world:
We are no longer enlarging our navy.
We are simply keeping up its strength.
The addition Of one battleship a year
barely enables us to make good the
units which became obsolete

income is now expended on war past

A Great affliction to the Race,
Leaving a snake-like slimey trace,
Running plans of earth and heaven,
Cursing the world with its vicious
leaven.
Spirit all evil! destructive power!
Extracting the fragrance from the
flower,
Leaving the blight and whitening curse
Living, and making humanity worse!
Appearing ofttimes as an Angel Of

Changing the Midday into the night
Look where you may at this curse dia-
Strategic and yelled as the powers AS

day
Into loveliest systems along life's
Highway,
Blighting the grace to men richly
given,
killing out all for which love has
striven.
Stealing the bloom from the cheek of
youth,
Stealing the treasures of worth and
TRUTH
Bringing reproach on sacred things,
Filling society's soul with stings,
Gathering from fields where it has not
sown,
Keeping what it does not morally own.
Robbing from hands Of honest toll,
Turning Industry into turmoil,
Planning all things on earth to gain,
Seeking DER all the world to reign.
Resorting to Helrs most hateful
Caring not who it crushes or damns.
Entering with cruel and impious
The very Courts Of the Hottest Shrine,
Appearing in Garb Of Gods High

And seeks to possess the gold Of the

Taking their substance, by means foul

Watching for silver and! gold while at
