United labor bulletin., 1909-11-12
BULLETIN MEETING WITH SUCCESS.

Our Bulletin is making great strides.
Scarcely a day passes without some or
ganization subscribing. We expect to
keep up our work in soliciting subscrip-
tions and will put forth all efforts to
have our paper reach all the homes. The
railroad organizations are responding
very rapidly, likewise the other crafts
They realize the necessity of an organ
whereby they can express and explain
their own cause freely; they realize that
in the maintenance of our supposed free
speech and press, there must be a great
agitation put forth to overcome the in
Vulnerable unfair and unjust decisions
against organized labor in general. We
realize that we must awaken to our full
duty, that we must get into politics,
must select our people, work honestly
and elect the same. 1t is gratifying to
us to know that San Francisco, notwith-
standing all of the opposition towards
the organized labor candidates who have
been in office during the past and the
concerted efforts to attract attention
against organized labor, but referring to
the officers or offices that were in the
controversy in our California city under
the prod, as they termed, graft; that
they have once more come back into the
fold and organized labor is recognized
by the citizens. So that city has men
who are competent and capable of run
ming our affairs in a legitimate way. The
same can be accomplished in all cities.
towns and villages throughout our
United States if we will work together
to attain that end The time has ar
rived when organized labor has a greater
duty to perform than in the past. Our
American Federation of Labor, which is
now in convention at Toronto, Canada,
will have all these questions before them
for consideration and we feel confident
that before their adjournment that there
will be steps taken, laws enacted, pro-
visions made and a complete itinerary
set forth for organized labor in our com
ing campaigns and such being our main
needs we sincerely hope that all organ
lied bodies will take heed and warning
and will get into line for that one aim
and object in view and that is to control
our courts. our legislatures and all legis-
lative bodies We do not claim that we
are so far superior than others intellect
ually and otherwise, but we do believe
that our schooling along the lines of or
ganized labor warrants us in asserting
our powers We also realize the neces-
sity of better sanitary conditions, the
shorter work-day, the removal from fac
tories of children. We know full well
that in order for a person to do full
davis work they must necessarily have
rest: they must rest their brains as well
as their body, and those are the condi-
tions it appears that some of our great
corporations and legislatures have failed
to take notice Of So in conclusion will
state that we solicit the cooperation of
all the organized bodies who will assist
in our Bulletin and also expect from
time to time to report important deci-
sions for and against the organized
bodies and a full report of the plans for
campaigp. as will be laid out at this CON
veption of the American Federation of
Labor.
