"The declaration was jeered by those
at that time intrenched in power in the
house, and we were damned from Dan to
Bersheba. Passing, as We are, through
the gravest crisis ever faced by the
workers in the history of this country,
labor has not faltered. 1t has not abated
one title of it's activity.
"One of the greatest dangers now con-
fronting the people and the peoples gov
ernment is the effort to overrule, to dis
regard, to treat with contempt that part
of the government nearest the people
the house of representatives. This is
not generally understood, but it is fact,
CONF position of the house in the last de-
cade are chiefly to blame.
For sake of party, of party harmony;
for patronage, or its possible loss; for
the sake of reelection, the members
have sat idly by, closed their eyes, re-
fused to listen to the voice of duty, until
such weakness has eliminated in estab-
fishing the custom by representatives of
holding their tongues for fear they
might lose caste with the speaker whom
they periodically and mechanically
elected as their servant. yet to whom
they have submitted as their master
For fear they might be considered
fault-inders, for fear they might be
called Irregular for fear of their non
appointment on important committees,
for fear they might lose the patronage
the president has to bestow, they have
acted as though paralyzed. Fear! Fear!
Fear! Always the ghostly apparition of
fear haunts the lives of the average con-
gressman.'
The president then launched into the
question of strikes. showing that condi-
tions were better than they had been

He outlined the. purpose of union la
Dor, saying it was not 10 find solution
for every economic and social problem
but to teach the workers the value of
combination.
He declared that the children were at
last being recognized as the nations
most valuable asset and that the period
had now arrived when a member of a
legislature was proud to make a good
record on child labor legislation"
The president declared he did not be-

and they asked that their wages be In
creased 10 per cent; and Mr.. Dix told
the committee that If at the end of three
months the output of his plant had been
increased 10 per cent. the request or
the employees would be granted.
Do you catch the DRIFT Of the great
philanthropy of Mr. Dix-or do you rec
ognize his business acumen-oR DO
YOU SEE THE "MASTER" WITH THE
BREAp-AND-BUTTER LASH STAND
ING OVER THE FREE" EMPLoYE
WHO is AT LIBERTY TO LOOK
WHERE HE PLEAsEs FOR THE
HIGHEST WAGE?
The employer who demands of his en-
ploye that he increase his output 10 per
cent. to receive a 10 per cent. increase
is not a just employer-he is slave
driver The increase in wages was asked
that the increase in the cost of living
might be met The increase in wages is
met by an advance in price OF the prod
uct of the factory, not by greater out
put from the factory.
We will suppose that in the last 20
wears the wages of factory had been
increased 40 per cent; and we will also
suppcse-and justly so-that 20 years
ago the men had been turning out a
fair days work; and we will also sup
pose that the cost of living had in
creased GO per cent, which is not high
enough to be in proportion to the pres
ent day increases of wages and cost of
living. viii any sane man dare to argue
that man who is doing fair days
work should increase his speed-or out
put-40 per cent?
We say no-and never: we claim that
the increase in the cost of living should
be met by an advance in price on the
product of the factory, if it be necessary.
1t is the high tariff that is increasing
the cost of living, and the high tariff
benefits the manufactured article, espe-
cially wood pulp.
If the Record-Herald thinks it is boost
ing Mr. Dix's game among union men
by the above article, it is badly mis-
taken. The man who wrote it is GER
tainly failure from a labor union stand
point.
In the election of Mr. Dix as governor
of New York we believe union labor has
gained nothing; but union labor did not
nominate him-Tammany did.
