READ THIS, NoN-UNIoNIsT.

Do you know that when wages are
reduced in times of panics they
never rise again among unorganized
workers?
Do you know that each succeeding
panic has left the wages of the un-
organized worker smaller than they
were before?
Do you know that in spite of all
panics the wages of organized labor
have steadily advanced and hours of
labor shortened?
Do you know that if the wage
earners were all organized panics
would be less frequent and less Sc
we're?
Do you know that the recent cut
in your wages will never be recoV-
cred until you organize?
Do you know that the long hours
of labor lessen your pay? How will
you increase it?
Do you know il is a duty you owe
your family and your feIlow-crafts-
men to join the union of your craft?
Do you know that the longer you
delay Joining the union of your craft
the longer you will be in bettering
your present condition, shortening
your hours of labor per day, and in
cTeasing your pay?

AFTER DEBS.

In the Cigarmakers' Journal David
Goldstein takes a shy at Eugene V.
Debs and the Socialist cause 1t is
a hot arraignment and no mistake.
Goldstein faCetiously nicknames
Debs "Sir E. Violent" Snd dips into
Debs' record with a vengeance. AS
many of the cigarmakers are social
.istically inclined, some of Goldstein's
statements will hardly rest lightly on
their stomachs. He says that Debs
is not a workingman, but is a pro-
fessional agitator; not a friend of
the toilers, but an enemy; not a
trades unionist, but a disrupter of
trades unions.
He claims that Debs led in organ
izing the American Railway Union,
the Western Labor Union, the Ameri-
can Labor Union and the Industrial
Workers of the World, and is an aid
to the Parrys, Posts and Van CIeaves.
Many of Debs' most violent utter
ances in the past are quoted and it
is implied that he has been all things
to all men and a friend of none but
Debs.
After the defeat of Bryan in 1896,
during which campaign Debs stump
ed the country for Bryan, he said
there was mo hope except by the
pathways marked out by the Social
lists"
Later his utterances are quoted to
show his bloody outlook"
1t is warm article, to be sure,
and will undoubtedly start something.

yes erday by majority in the neigh
borllood of 500.
Washington, Martin and Jefferson

Chicago, April 30.-After a period
Of unusual agitation in labor circles,
May brings a fairly clear horizon
here.
The tilelayers and helpers, who
only two weeks ago settled a strike
of six weeks duration and returned
to work at increased wages threaten
to strike again unless the injunction
against their union and the associat-
ed building trades is dissolved. The
contractors are just as anxious to get
the injunction out of the way, but SO
far no method of doing it has been
discovered.
Journeymen bakers met to take
action on the question of a strike
against the master bakers who re
fuse to grant an increase in wages.

IO[D FASHIONED OIL
~. PAINTING OF LINCOLN

While portraits and pictures of LIN
coin of all kinds are being displayed
in Canton today, there is one that is
attracting more than usual attention.
This is an old-fashioned oil painting,
the canvas being encased in frame
that was considered stylish 40 years
ago. 1t can be seen in Fat" Fishers
window on East Tuscarawas street,
near Walnut. Mr.. Fisher was asked
Thursday night whether this picture
had history but he was unable to
tell, further than it was the property
Of his father, who assists him in his
cigar store. That picture" said the
proprietor of the store, hung in our
old home before l was hanging around
there myself and it is highly priced
by father. Father was a great admir-
er of President Lincoln, being an old
soldier, who had often seen the presi-
dent before he was a victim of the
assassin's bullet He also saw the re-
mains of the martyred president in
Washington after he was killed. He
purchased that picture while we were
still living in Cardington, Morrow
county, and father carried it with him
when he came to Canton and no mon
ey could purchase it from him."
