APPEAL TO NON UNloNlsrs.


You non-unionists who have brought
children into the world that are as
dear to you as your lives. ask your
selves what heritage will you leave
them, with nearly everything in trade
monopolized and natural opportunities
closed against them by privilege?
Whose slave is your child going to
bet
Cannot you men in the metal trades.
in the clothing trades, in the building
trades or other lines Of industry-yo
who are still Observation-Disclosures
that If you joined the organizations of
your trade and in solid phalanx stood
for a square deal all around, you
would be invincible?
The aggregate annual wealth turned
out by labor of our time is staggering
In It's immensely, and have you q, right
to expect more Of that wealth for the
enjoyment of yourself and family, in.
stead of heaping it up in piles for q
few thousand mu1ti-millionaires I'm,
able to use It? You have an inherent
right to really and truly enjoy life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
But you must enforce that right
through organization, just as your
forefathers did.
Yea, you men who feed, clothe and
house the nation have the absolute
and indisputable right to govern tina!
nation, and there are none dare say
you nay If you but have the courage
the pluck and the will to unite.
Make up your mind now and regis
ter a solemn pledge that you will
stand in your own light no longer:
60 to the union in your trade, apply
for admission, stand shoulder tt
shoulder with your fellows and share
with them your joys and sorrows, a.
they will share theirs with you.
And thus be faithful and true Il
yourself, your family, your class and
your countrywide.

AN ENGLISH DEFINITION.

The word "scab' as applied to non
union worknnen and strike breakers 1s
now rarely used In this country. It
Is considered nasty opprobrious
word and its use has been generally
discarded. In England, however, it is
recognized as legitimate word and
its meaning was recently defined by
the prosecutor in conspiracy case as
follows:
"A scab is to his trade what a
traitor 1s to his country, and though
both may be useful in troublesome
times, they are detested by all when
peace returns; SO when help is need
ed the scab is the last t. contribute
assistance and the first to grasp the
benefit he never labored to secure, He
cares only for himself; he sees not
beyond the extent of a day. and for
11omentary appreciation he would
betray friends, family and country:
In short. he is a traitor on a small
SCALE who first sells the journeyman,
and Is himself afterwards sold in turn
by his employer, until, at last, he ia
oesNsed by both and deserted by all.
He Is an enemy to himself, to the
present age and to all posterity."
The prosecutor who gave the FORE
going definition was not irving to
convict non-union respondents, but to
convict unto men who had called a
on-un1on man as witness and relied
on mis- testimony to urove their dnno-
cence

NOT AN ORDINARY STRIKE.


The ordinary strike is usually oc-
casioned by demand for better con-
dittons Of employment, shorter hours
OF labor or better pay.
The present uprising in tho steel
industry In and around Pittsburg is,
however, an exception to the general
rule.
It is q desperate cry from the depths
Of human suffering and degradation,
demanding relief from condition that
forgets even the existence of its
slaves and leaves them to suffer in
their unspeakable misery.
The dissatisfied employees are re-
ported to be all, or nearly all, for
eigners.
They came to this country at the
instigation Of agents Of their en-
ployers. They were enticed here by
gross misrepresentation as to their
prospects In this country. They were
Of the former employees, whether these
were American or foreign born, Of
English or foreign speech.
Having come here they became the
helpless prey Of the trusts and their
agents. It was not without reason
that the seer's eye OF Upton Sinclair
seized, in the Jungle upon a Lith-
uanian workman in order to depict
tho worst horrors Of trust rule. The
American workman, rooted In the
soil, knowing the country, and in g.
position to obtain help in case Of ex-
treme needs from his relatives and
friends, would never submit to such
oppressive conditions OF work and liv-
ing as the poor Montenegren, ignorant
Of the new conditions, without voice
and without friends, has to submit to-
How numerous are the schemes by
which the foreigners are plundered!
Their very ignorance and helplessness
are made levers Of with which to de-
spoil them of their earnings.
They have to pay exorbitant rents
for the company's shacks in which
they have to live like pigs. They have
to pay extortionate prices for the
goods which they are compelled to
buy in the company stores. They are
compelled to work in gangs, the So
called pooling system, so that they
never know what Is actually due to
them.
AS long as they submit and suffer
in silence, the hearts Of their fellow
worknen Of native origin or English
speech are set against them, by rea-
son Of the fact that they work for
lower wages and longer hours In the
labor market they are most dangerous
competitors, tor In the labor market
weakness is strength, the woman
beating the man, the child the vvom-
an and the foreigner the native.
And when they rise in rebellion be-
cause they have reached the limits o.
human endaNkance all the agencies O,
organized society are invoked against
them. This is precisely what Is TAX
Ing plaoe In and around pittsbure to-
day.
