The time has arrived when we must all
concentrate our efforts towards uniting
the forces of the working classes for one
common cause and that is the malnte-
nance of our boasted freedom. We were
greatly disappointed in the reports com
ing from Toronto that our leaders,
Brothers Gompers. Morrison and Mitchell
had been sent notice to appear at Wash
ington, as the courts of Washington. ID.
c., had refused to grant stay of execu-
ton pending their appeal to the Supreme
court and they should be called in the
midst of their most important work looks
to us as though there will be no stone
left unturned to suppress free speech ana
press. 1t appears as though all efforts
throughout our free land are being put
forth to destroy the labor organizations.
We sincerely hope that the time is not
far distant when all the workers will
awaken to their full duty and get into
politics in earnest, vote as they talk and
elect to office men who will be broad
enough in their views to realize the ne
cessity and the needs and wants of the
vast majority of their people. Such de-
cisions and such actions will not aid our
judiciary in perpetual movement of that
kind, it will simply have a tendency to
force the common people, who comprise
three-hfths of our citizens, "to get closer
together" and force possibly the people
into the ranks of a political party that is
bound to control our entire government.
We believe that the time has arrived
when we have got to get into politics.
Let us do as California has, start labor
ticket pure and simple, be earnest in our
work and elect our men. This, in our
opinion, is the only relief that is left for
the working masses. In putting into Of
flee our own men, under the caption of
labor. means victory in all localities
where we work honestly for the advance
ment of one another. We have the con-
trolling power of all things in this world
except capital, and that without our as
sistance amounts to naught. Were we
to stop the wheels of industry throughout
this broad land for forty-eight hours the
stocks and bonds of our mighty nation
would drop three-fourths of their record
ed valuation at the present time. So
with the full knowledge of what we can
do, why should we not use our power and
our ballot for our good and cease advanc-
ing to Office and placing into control ones
because of the fact that they may be
guided from a false education along the
duties of man to man

LOCAL SITUATION.

We have here in our city TWO very i'm
portant questions which will soon be sub
mitted to the voters for ratification or
rejection. One of those being the Civic
Center and the other the Water Works
question. Shall we own and operate our
own water works? In the first instance
the Civic Center proposition appeals to
beauty of our city, will give employment
to many thousands of men, and have ex-
pended at home great sum of money
which undoubtedly is needed in the pres
ent time among our own craft. Then we
have the Water Works question, the mu
nicipal ownership of the same, of which
our committee from the Labor Assembly
is working ardently and faithfully to ad
wise all the citizens as to figures of the
cost of the maintenance and operation of
the same. They are to be commended
for their endeavors to produce all facts
along the line of public ownership, but
we believe that the most important part
of all the committees work will be done
when they secure the initiative. referen-
DUN and recall, that in our judgment is
the most important step that can be
taken towards putting the representative
citizens into Office. We know well that
whenever a man is holding an Office and
sible chance of removing him If he fails
to do his duty as a citizen, and towards
the masses. that he be subject TO dis

until then will we be able to in part re-
ceive what we believe just. fair and i'm

we reiterate, get into politics. put labor
ticket into the field work for one an
others good and stand united and we can
not fail to be victorious.

Eighteen countries were represented at
the International Trade Union Congress,
held at Paris, France, beginning August
30. The secretary announced a member
ship in affiliated organizations of 4,246,-
900. This is an increase over 1905" the
secretary says in his report, "and 1t DEM
onstrates that, in spite Of losses in the
membership of some countries due to In
dustrial causes. trade unionism is ad-
vancing steadily"
Eight unions have been started in the
Chicago stockyards and all the interna-
tional unions interested in conditions in
the yards will each send one organizer
into the field.
The Rochester Tumblers works, the
old glass plant of the National Glass
company, has been put in operation after
being shut down for nearly two years.
Two furnaces and the pressing and blow
ing departments were put in operation,
giving employment to 500 men, AS soon
as the other furnaces are got into shape
they will be put in commission.
At the convention of the Railway Car
men in Atlanta, Ca. it was decided by
unanimous vote to affiliate with the
American Federation of Labor.
The monthly bulletin Of the New York
state labor department states that the
percentage of idleness among organized
wage earners in the state which at the
end of March, 1908, was 35.7 per cent.
or the highest on record for that date
since 1896, was at the end of March, this
year, Pill per cent, the returns repre-
senting over 100000 wage earners.
r
Secretary Frank Morrison of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, received word
that by an almost unanimous vote OF the
United Brotherhood of Carmen, compris-
ing employees of many of the big rail-
roads, at its convention held at Atlanta,
Ga, decided to affiliate hereafter with
the American Federation of Labor. At
present there is in the federation the
Car Workers International Union and 1t
is said to be probable that steps will be
taken to amalgmate the two associations.
An important conference will be held
in New York between representatives OF
the stone industry of this country, with
tie purpose in view of bringing about a
closer affiliation and better working con-
ditions. The conference will probably re-
suit in the formation of the stone trades
into a department of the A. F. of L. sim
liar to the metal trades department.

Some months ago the Supreme court
of Massachusetts sustained a lower court
in issuing an injunction forbidding the
bricklayers union to collect fine i'm
posed upon two of its members who re-
mained at work for an unfair firm. This

to enforce discipline among members.
The traitorously inclined, the man who
is union man for the sake of job. who
is willing to share Ii the better wages
and shorter hours won through the union
but who is not willing to make any sac
rifices himself. is beginning to take ad-
vantage of the license granted to traitors
by the courts.
Following the precedent established by
the Supreme court. Judge Rugg of Bos-
ton recently issued an injunction restrain
ing the officers and certain members of
Local 562 of the Brotherhood from "con-
spring to compel a member named Budd
to pay a fine imposed on him by the Dis
trict Council of Boston for working on
Labor Day, 1908. Budd was discharged
because certain members Of Local 562
refused to work with him. The court also
ruled that any attempt to compel Budd
to pay the fine by refusing to work with
him constituted wrong, as 1t would have
a tendency to deprive the complainant of

According TO the courts OF Massachu-
setts, contracts are ike pie crust-made
only to be brolSen-more honored In the
breach than the observance. The sacred
freedom of contract-so dear to Presi-
dent Eliot and those open shop" employ
ers who would secure cheap labor by TAX
ing advantage of the necessities of the
improvident or unfortunate If 1t were not
for the protection thrown around them
by the union through the minimum wage
and collective bargain-is conveniently
forgotten when the contract happens to
be between a workman and his fellows,
a member and his union. The solemn
promise made by the member at initia-
tion to observe and keep the laws Of the
union, with the provisions Of which he is
fully informed. the sacred obligation
taken to be true to the principles of
unionism, to himself and to his fellow
man, is lightly dismissed by the courts
as not binding and of little moment.
In the eyes of the judges of Massa-
chusetts-who are no worse than other
judges-whose training and associations
from birth, whose education and environ
men all tend to ALLEVIATE them from the
common people. whose personal interests
are identical with those of the employ
ers and whose present position and fu-
ture preferment in many Instances is de-
pendent upon their good will-in their
eyes the wage-earner is created solely
to earn dividends and profits for his en-
ployers. The union through which he
seeks to secure some measures of inde-
pendence, to preserve in part his selfre-
spect and manhood and to gain a voice

UNITED CIGAR STORES HOG.

The Clothing Trades Bulletin says that
it is reported that the United Cigar
Stores company is making preparations
to enter the drug trade by operating
chain of stores under the name of the
Lauer Drug company. 1t is said that
three stores in New York City have al
ready been acquired, and it is expected
to add to them until the company has
chain extending from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
1t is reported further that eventually
the holdings of the Lauer Drug company
will be transferred to the United Chem
lists company, a $2O.OOO,O0O corporation,
which is said to have been incorporated
by United Cigar Stores interests. Will

A report from Springfield, ILL.,, is to the
effect that general strike for higher
wages of machinists, boilermakers, black
smiths, cab carpenters, and steam and
pipe filters in the shops all over the Wa
bash railroad system is threatened. An
increase of two cents an hour was offer
ed. but the men asked for six cents in
crease and compromise on the shop
rules.
A hundred butchers employed by Adolf
Goebels' sausage factory of Morgan ave-
nue. and Rock street, Brooklyn. went on
strike recently. Goebel refused to rec
ognize the union and persisted in en-
ploying nonunion help. AS result the
strike was called. The Butchers Union
No. 211 is conducting the fight and Busi-
ness Agent Edward Sheimer is in charge
of the strike committee. The union is
determined to keep up the strike until
Goebel is compelled to surrender.
Massachusetts placed in employment
an average of 40 men a day last year
from it's three employment bureau offices
in Springfield, Fall River and Boston.
This year an average of so men a day
have been given employment through the
Boston Office alone.
During the last two months 81 new To-
calls of building laborers have been form
ed in different cities of the country.
The strike troubles that have been
threatening the Chicago public school
system disappeared as if by magic. Fol-

USE THE "STIcKER."

The label "stickers" issued by the AL
lied Printing Trades Council should be in
the hands of every union man in the city.
If you cannot secure the "stickers" send
all printed matter you receive without
the label to the secretary Of the Allied
Printing Trades Council. The value Of
the "sticker' is being proven every day.
To cite an instance: A certain firm in
this city recently brought some printing
to union shop with these instructions:
BE sure and have that little label on
this work as otherwise it will all be sent
back to me-" Which goes to prove the
value of advertising your label.

He could not if he would avoid saying things, and even if he desired to stick to Taft he would not be silent concerning my policies" He would make some speeches that would shake the dry boBes.
