WONDERFUL MARKSMAN
John Jackson Spriggins, Soldier
of the Revolution.

John jackson Spriggins was a Sold
Ter in the revolutionary war, and was
the last survivor in his neighborhood.
The boys around the village tavern
were wont to get together around
"Uncle jack, as he was Familiarity
called, to be entertained by his war
stories. Before relating one of his ia
nous war narratives, "Uncle jack
always prefaced his tale by taking a
drink to the health of his departed
companions, and one to tone himself
up for the occasion. Here is his story
of what happened at Yorktown:
Gentlemen, you had orter bin with

Is One Vast Struggle.
In our time, when so many look upon
the dark side of the progress of the Ia"
Dor movement, and predict worse things
in store for the laborer,, it is not amlss
to call attention to the fact that the
life of the human family is one vast
struggle, and that though the progress
is not so swift as I, ms we'll as some of
my impatient brothers and sisters OF
labor, would like it to be, yet the fact
is that in our decade we can see the
rights OF labor more clearly defined, the
vantage ground obtained, and obtaining
clearer insight into existing wrongs,
the more intelligent perception of and
determination to achieve labor s rights
There is only one danger of the fail
ure of constant and peaceful evolution
for the elimination of all abnormal con-
ditions under which workers are com
PEELED to toll, and this danger is the
possible failure of the wage-earners to
realize the necessity of more general
and thorough organization IN the unions
of their respective trades. Such fall-
ure beyond doubt would be taken ad-
vantage of by al! the elements which
pray upon and take advantage of the
weak, and 1t is Il source of great graf
ification that the workers have organ
lied and federated so largely and com
prehensively that there is little fear
| of u step backward. On the contrary,
every evidence is shown that the toll.
ers have awakened to the new found
power of organized effort Never be"
fore in the history of our country have
they been so well organized as they
are today, and the good work is going
on day by day.
In spite of the fact that occasionally
we have great industrial disputes, yet
the organized labor movement In its es-
sencc stands for industrial peace, and
presents a rational method for the In
auguration of fairer and more just con.
ditions for ALL The trade union move
mcnt carries the cases of many crue
battles of the past. 1t exemplifies al
tenderness and genuine sympathy with
the sufferers Of the present. 1t voices
the hopes and aspirations of the masses
for future freedom and justice.
At no time in the history of the
world have the workers demonstrated
more clearly their purpose not only tc
be Just, but to demand Justice. They
realize that without organization in
this day of concentrated wealth and in
dustry their lives and their Liberties are
doomed. They have organized. and are
organizing, with greater rapidlty than
ever. The earnestness of their express
sions, the sincerity of their actions, the

speak brighter future for all who toll,
for all who are dependent upon them.
No System to Crush.
Our labor movement has no system
to crush, 1t has nothing to overturn.
1t purposes to build up, to develop, to
reJuvenate humanity. 1t stands for
the right. 1t is the greatest protestant
against wrong. It is the defender of
the weak. It's members make the sac
rifices and bear the brunt of battle,
to obtain more equitable and humane
conditions in the everyday lives of all
the people. 1t may be true that here
and there setback is encountered in
the battle of labor; but it is simply
skirmish, for the grand army is ever
moving onward and forward One col
umn in our ranks may be defeated, yet
is only retreat for greater organ
ization, better preparation for more
propltious time.
| Splendid as has been the progress in
organization and federation within the
recent past, yet there is much to do to
| convince the yet unorganized workers
that their duty to themselves, their
wives and children, their fellow work
ers, their fellowmeu, is to organize and
help in the great cause. We must win
or regain the confidence of the indif-
ferent, negligent OF ignorant non union
ist to impress on his mind that he who
will not stand with his brother for the
right is equally responsible with the
wrongdoer for any wrong done. The
excuse and justification for tyranny ls
the insensibility and Indifference Of the
slave.
By the organization of the workers
we not only quicken the conscience of
those inclined to the wrong, but we
create healthier public opinion re-
garding the great cause for which we
stand. Hence, our fellow-unionists,
rank and file. officers, organizers, lead
ers. in fact all, are deyoting themselves
unfalterjngly and persistently to the
work of bringing the non-unionlsts
within the fold of organization. The
workers can be free. Justice and right
can and must be proclaimed, established
and maintained.
The full realization Of these prin-
ciples and potent purposes can come
only by the work, and if necessary the
sacrifices of the hosts of unionists
through whose earnest effort must be
fulfilled the mission to unite the world
of workers, and usher in the dawn Of
that bright day of which the poets have
sung, philosophers dreamed and the
workmen struggled and yearned to
achieve for the human family.

MEANING OF THE DAY.
By Samuel Gompers.

Labor day marks a new epoch in the
annals of human history. 1t differs es-
sentially from some of the other holi-
days of the year in that it glorifies no
armed conflicts or battles of man s
prowess over man. 1t is a deep-seated
propensity of human nature TO observe
with appropriate ceremonies the peri
odical return of certain times,
suspending the ordinary business of
life on certain days for the purpose
of preserving the recollection OF some
important event or principle, The OBJ
servance Of such festivals is an evi-
dence Of growing civilization. Our in
ferior fellow animals pursue an un-
varied course from day to day, but
man varies his life by elevating some
DAYS above others.
The institution of the weekly rest
day or festival called Sunday has been
of incalculable benefit to mankind, and
IN comparatively recent times there
were numerous other holidays to give
