FARMERS WILL BE BANKERS.

What all labor organizations should
have been doing for years, the Farmers
Union of Colorado are now setting at
work to accomplish. They will spend
their money in their own stores; they
will bank their money with their own
banks and these institutions will invest
this money in irrigation projects that
will bring direct results to the farmer
The Farmers Union propose to transact
their own financial business; and why
not?
The Farmers Union has bought the
bank of Rifle, at Rifle, Colo, from ]. w
Hugus & Co. of Denver, who own a
string of banks and stores throughout
the northwestern section of Colorado. A
new corporation has been formed and
the institution will be named the Union
State bank.
The Hugus company has also sold its
mercantile establishment at Rifle to the
Union Trading company, a corporation
also financed by the Farmers Union. An
officer of the Hugus company states that
the two deals involve about 100000 and
that they will in no way affect their
other banks and stores.

TALKING POINTS FOR ORGANIZED
LABOR.
(By Rev. Charles stelzle.)

In arguing for the value of trade union
ism, the average friend of organized la
Dor frequently makes the mistake of dis
cussing questions which are debatable,
and concerning which there will prob
ably always be difference of opinion.
No doubt these debatable questions have
their place in a full discussion of trades
nnionism, but for the sake of a better
understanding of the aims and objects
of organized labor, it would seem to be
more tactful and more logical to first
talk about what it has accomplished.
There are many matters with which or
ganized labor has to do, concerning
which there can be absolutely no dispute.
Trades unionists would make more
friends for their cause among the pub
lie if they presented more frequently the
ethical value of their organizations.
For instance, one might proclaim the
fact that labor halls have come to be i'm
portant social centers. Here helpful
lecture courses on moral and economic
subjects are frequently given. The la
Dor press has its educative value Many
of the labor journals, especially those
published by internationals, give courses
in technical training. A real moral up
of the union, because a man must pre-
sent his facts in definite, tangible
form, if he hopes to win over his asso-
ciates to his beliefs. Every man has a
fair chance to preach these views, no
matter how unpopular they may be. No
where does man get a more patient
hearing than at a labor union meeting.
Here, too, he learns the lesson of sub
To ha wi nf-
learns the value of team work'-of CO.
operation.
In the labor movement the working
man learns the lesson of thrift Rarely
does a trades unionist apply to organ
lied charity or any other form of char
ity for relief Talk about the value of
the trades union as a force for temper
ance. You can easily make a strong ar
gument in this direction. The question
of the education and the Americanizing
of the immigrant must be discussed in
favor of the trades union. The report
of the labor commissioner in the Bulle-
tin of January, 1905, clearly proves this.
Child labor, the sweat-shop, unsanitary
conditions in shop and home, are all
questions concerning which trades union
ism need not be ashamed to speak.
Having clearly established these points
1t will be easier to discuss the measures
through which these ends have been and
shall be secured.
An intelligent presentation of the
broader work of organized labor must
win to its support the thousands of i'm
partial men and women whose endorse
ment will be of great value to the cause.

PEANUT-SHELL POST.

( That man c. w. Post manufacturer OF
breakfast sawdust at Battle Creek, Mich,
seems to be very touching and ready to
fight when peanut shells are mentioned.
Three carloads of peanut shells billed for
Battle Creek had been wrecked on a rail
road; the Battle Creek Journal published
an editorial on the matter, but stated
that it was certain that the peanut shells
were not consigned to Post and that they
We're not to be used in making grippe
nuts" or in any way to impose on the
public This wise, neighborly disclaimer,
instead of pleasing Post, seemed to have
a contrary effect and he rushed into
court and started a libel suit against the
Journal. The latter paper again printed
an editorial eXonerating Post OF using
peanut shucks in his plant and gently
limited that the peanut shells might have
been consigned to the Battle Greek En-
quirer, Posts paper as brain food for
the editorial staff" This made Post and
his hired scribblers hopping mad and they
sued the Journal for $4,000 damages.
Then the Journal came back with a suit
for 100000 against the Enquirer, Post
and Mayor Bailey for libel. And so a
fierce battle RACES in Battle Creek with
the issue apparently plain. If the Journal
can prove that Post does not use peanut
shells in breakfast food that paper is vim
dicated If, on the other hand, the Jour
nal was mistaken and Post does use
shucks, then Post wins.-Union Label
Bulletin New York;.
The editor of The United Labor
Bulletin has heard of the peanuts being
wrecked on their way to Battle Creek,
and, of course, does not use "gripe nuts. -
and in future will not take any chances
in using them, and takes this occasion
to warn others, fearing that they are
really what the above name applies
"gripe nuts"
