THUGISM RETAPDS INDUSTRY.

In the nature of things habit produces
4 mental bias, that requires time and in
tcl!igent effort to eradicate.
1t is easy to think in directions in
which we are accust omed to think, and
hard to accept new doctrines involving
mental processes with which the nina is
unfamiliar. The coal companies and 9TH
er corporations in some sections of West
Virginia, have so long considered their
employees as mere chattcl commodities
that the assertion of a contrary doctrine
gives rise i'll their minds to a sort of
brain storm that nothing but the pres
cnce of Baldwin thugs and the lawlcss
guards can assuagc.
When they shall have recovered from
their Authorizations, the moral cond-
tons are restored, they viii be enabled

their respective Industries are best CON
served by rigid regard for the rights
of their fcllowmcn and the laws of the

WHAT Is TALK WORTH.

Il has often been said that talk is
cheap; but II Is altogether a question
as to who does the talking As matter
what he says for II Is man 5 character
which determines the yalne OF his speech
This implies that the value OF men :
words vary.
In this respect men are divided into
three classes Men of the first class have
their words taken at par. They mean
precisely what they say OF this type of
man it has been said: :. His word is as
good as his bond - Men OF the second
class have their words taken at a pre-
MUM Such men are usually slow to
speak Their words are few But when
they promise, one rests assured that ordi-
narily they VIII do more than has been
| asked. The words of the men of the
third class are Always discounted Twenty
Per cent off-often more-is the value
that others give them. So it often hap
Pens<that exactly tho same words, spoken
by three different men, have three differ
ent values.
1t IS rather curious that while most of
us fatter ourselves that we cannot be
| fooled by the other fellow, few of US
| seem to realize that we cannot fool 9TH
ers. 1t does not take men very long to
form proper estimate of our real value
Everybody soon knows whether our words
are to be placed at par, at premium or
at discount Therefore, let's quit try
ing to TOOL one another. 1t doesn t pay.
| 1t Is a waste of time and of energy
Note the speeches of the delegates in
your central labor body. Listen to the
addresses Of the men in your local or
| ganiZation- Soon you will learn to know
just whose words count for most. 1t will
not be the man who speaks on every
! question. 1t Will not be the fellow who
| Is always cock sure. 1t will not be he
who always agrees with you. Ii will be
the man who is quiet, thoughtful, conser-
| vatire-not dull and stupid-but of un.
| questioned character. This is the type
of man who is coming to the front in
labor circles, and it prophesies better
things for the wOrkingman g cause
