No Strength Organ
izatiOns Without 1t

Organized labor has within itself the
elements of success or of destruction. 1t
matters not how strong numerically we
msy be nor how large our treasury, if
intelligence be lacking we will surely fail
of our purpose. Do you know the reason
that few men dominate the political
machine or the financial situation or
the commercial situation? Because added
to ambition they possess an intelligent
understanding of cause and effect in
| their particular line of effort Because
they have set themselves to work sys
tematically to study the field in the line
of endeavor they have chosen and know
the reason why such and such move
mentw i'll produce a certain effect. 1t is
not blind guess work with them that
make, them able to dominate the stu
alton. but knowledge of conditions.
Union men if they are ever to achieve
real success in the emancipation of hard
working surroundings must study and
read inteligently. The struggle and per-
haps defeat of yesterday should teach a
lesson today. An analysis of the mis-
takes of past struggles should teach us
how to avoid them in the future. The
worlds brightest minds have recorded
for us on paper economic truths and the
history of labor's groupings toward the
light. Do we read them and study them
and try to apply the lessons taught to
modern economic life? If we do not we
have failed in the most vital factor of
organization, a proper understanding of
the labor movement. There can be no
strength without intelligence and no in
telligence without thought and study.
There is no potent strength i'll Just a
mere mass of matter; there must be
some underlying force to stir it into ac-
tivity. Neither is there any potent
strength in a mere mass of men; there
must be some intelligent force to give it
power. That force is education coupled
to ambition which, when set in motion,
will sweep the whole mass towards a
well defined goal. Every union man
should intelligently study the labor
movement and when we do that every
individual will be a potent, working
force. Too many men reason what is to
be, will be-" or blindly follow the leader
be he right or wrong. Education is nee
essnry to organization, organization is
necessary to education and fraternity is
the cause and effect of unity"

five, according to the prison officers, 10
to 80 according to the prisoners.
"Bull-rings' means that the prisoner is
strung up by the wrists in dark cell
and thus left hanging, like a carcass of
beef. Sufferers from this device and 9TH
er witnesses have declared that the
chains are sometimes 80 adjusted that
the delinquent's feet barely touch the
floor. This is denied by the prison Of
fcers. There Is no reason why 1t should
not be true; the guards are law unto
themselves. The cell is perfectly dark
except for what light filters through a
few narrow Sits in the door and is other
wise unventlated. At night the victim
is usually lowered and allowed to sleep
on the fioor--usually. not always.
