N. He has men in his employ who

ton. He has men in his employ who
have thought out the best methods of
a perfect organization, and through
the workings Of this Organization and
the support the government gives him
he has been able in one way or an
other to browbeat US at every hand.
The employers as such are not the
producers Of any wealth; they do no
useful labor; they simply go to their
office, which is cozy and warm, and
lay down the work that is to be done,
SO much in so much time, with so
much money to expend in the per-
Torrance of the work. and this he
turns over to the boss The boss
hires men as cheap as he can, works
them as hard as they will stand, and
when injured cases them upon the
human scrap pile as of no further use.
What cares he for the bruised and
Manned.
Workers Must Organize.
We as the employees, who do all the
useful and hard and dangerous labor,
/ must meet Mr.. Employer face to face
with an organization as strong as his
own. This We can do by perfecting
our present method Of organization;
and more, we must do it in order to
save ourselves. We must cast our
differences aside. We must not draw
the color line. We must work within
our union as one man, lighting for one
aim. Every industry must be organ
lied thoroughly. Every man in the
iron trade should be brought into the
! union. Every man in the building in
| dustry should be brought under tn.
same union. All Of US workers could
enlist Under the one Or the other and
the interests Of both made the inter
| ests of all. This can be done as
laboring. men and laboring women
have but one glory and one interest
Everything inhunlan injuries all of
them alike.
Demands Of Law.
The law that stands over us, makes
demand upon us, that in order to
save ourselves in the grist mill of gain.
we must organize union that will in
the end give to the worker what is the
| workers and to the employer what is
the employers. We must reckon with
the general make up of man. We
must understand that all men would
be good rather than bad, but are ruled
by the conditions placed around them
| in the field Of competition. Mans
| motives are good but he is ever driven
forward by the ever present law, the
law of self preservation
Our Bounden Duty.
Let us assert our rights as men, if
we are as good one with the other.
Let us show it by removing the strug-

ers have q working agreement to make
contracts Jointly. This agreement was
adopted at the last convention of the
