The minor details of the affiliation
have not all been worked out, but the
friends of organized labor can rest as
sured that the matter is in wise and
prudent hands Gompers and those
most closely associated with him have
long realized the necessity of uniting
labor under one common flag. Nothing
will be left undone to give force and
effect to this great movement. It is
clear that a strenuous campaign of
organization and education will be
waged throughout the west and middle
west. Here in Colorado is a vast field
for immediate and effective action.
The additional impetus that will be
given to the cause of union labor
ought to insure the organization o.
both the steel workers and the Goa
miners of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co.
Why should organized labor sit idly
by and permit the Colorado Fuel& Iron
company ttot not only operate its great
plants with nonunion men, but to-
openly antagonize organized labor in
every form and on every occasion?
Why should they be permitted to 50
dominate their workers as to drive
them to the polls on election days like
sheep driven to the slaughter? 1t is O.
the utmost Importance not only t.
themselves but to all laborers with
whom they come in contact, that the
employees of this great corporation be
unionized. If the affiliation of the
Western Federation accomplish only
this it will prove lasting boon to the
cause. But it will accomplish more
infinitely more. It. will effectually ce
ment the Western Federation to the
central body so that in times of strike
or other lesser trouble there will be
united action to common end of two
million souls.
The moral effect of this utilization
will be no less important It will point
the way to a complete unification of all
labor organizations. For example,
there is no sense in the building trades
having a divided head like tabled two
headed monster of ancint story, each
trying to tear and destroy the other.

HOW TO MAKE CRIMINALS.
By Ellis o. Jones.

The making Of criminals is a
very important American indus
try. Proceed as follows:
Find out something that a large
number Of people desire to do and
than make a law against it. The
law should be sufficiently elastic
to admit of exceptions when the
public good or the offender s
purse seems to demand it.
After the law is made hire a
few good policemen to lie in wait
for offenders. 1t is necessary to
catch a criminal before you make
him. Many a many has remained
caught. After you get, hold Of
one he will probably tell you that
he did not know the law. If he
does, tell him that ignorance of
the law excuses no one. If Lin
sists, tell him that even the law
yers don't know the law, as, other
wise there would not be SO many
of them. If he insists further,
crack him over the head and tell
him to shut up. If the man has
no money at all, crack him on
the head in the first place.
Next publish his name in all the
newspapers. This is for two rea-
sons: First, to make him more of
a criminal, and second, to show
that the police department is do
ing it's duty.
Next, chuck him into as I'M
pleasant a place as can be devised.
At night surround him with a
choice collection Of vermin. For
this purpose an entomologist
should be consulted. In the day
time make him work like dog,
but do not give him anything for
it. Give it to some one else. Per-
haps the best way to dispose Of
the surplus product is by the CON
tract system, although there are
other forms Of graft nearly as
good.
After a few years Of this he is
probably a full-fedged criminal
In order to test your work, turn
him loose without any money or
any friends. If he comes back in
a short time you have succeeded,
If not, you have failed; but it US
ually works.-Ellis 0. Jones, in
Life.

THE PIONEER UNIoN1sT.

Oh, how many Their were, whose
names are forgotten, who suffered
untold agonies to lay the founda-
ton of the labor movement OF
whose real mission they had but
the vaguest conception!
These pioneers Of progress paw
ed the way for us and deserve far
more at our hands than we have
a. our power to do for them. We
mnst at best rescue their nameless
memory from the darkness OF OBJ
liyion. and this we undertake TO
40 with the liveliest sense OF obll-
cation for the service they render
ed and the sacrifices they MADE
n the early and trying stages OF
the struggle to improve the con- :
dition and advance the welfareFof
their fellow toilers.
The writer has met and known
some of these untitled agitators
Of the early days, whose hearts
ware set on organizing their trade,
or at least their branch OF 1t, and
who had the. courage OF undertake
the task and accept all the bitter
consequences it imposed.
The union men Of today have
little or no conception Of what the
n;oneer unionists had to contend
with when they first started forth
~ their mission of organization.
The organizer of the present time
has to face difficulties enough, II
i; ;s'' true. but, as rule, the road has
at least been broken for his APP

committee l.l,,, meets him at the sta

Far different was it with the

ssscrew his courage to the stuck

and hardship only consecrated
more completely to his self ap-
pointed marytyrdom.
Starting out, more than likely,
after having been discharged for
organizing a a local union Of his
craft or for serving on a commit
tee or interceding for fellow or
talking back to the boss or any
other of the numerous acts which
mark the conduct of the manly
worker, distinguishing him from
his weak and fawning brother and
bringing upon him the reproba-
ton of his master starting out to
organize his fellow workers, that
they might fare better than fall to
his lot, he faced the world with
out a friend to bid him welcome
or cheer him onward. Having no
money for railroad fare, he must
beat his way. But such slight
| Inconvenience does not deter him
an instant. Reaching his destina7
ton, he brushes up as well as his
scanty toilet will allow and then
proceeds with due caution to look
up "the boys" careful to elude
the vigilance Of the boss, who has
no earthly use for a worthless La
Dor agitator.
We shall not attempt to follow
our pioneer through all his tor
tuous windings, nor have we space
to more than hint at the story OF
his cruel persecution and pathetic
end.
| Our pioneer leaving home in
many an instance never say wife
and child again. Repulsed by the
livery men he was h1lngering to

llected and alone, he became "the

loves his brother and accepts for
himself the bitter portion of suf-

The labor movement is his mon
ument, and though his name is not
inscribed upon it, his soul is in it
and with it marches on forever.
