scribing for the daily paper printed by
"scab" pressmen and filed with arti-
cles casting discredit upon the union
movement. Because you disagree with

you backcap him from Alpha to Omaha,
but you IL keep right on reading the

pie who are opposed to your union IN
terests and edited by men who disagree
with you on pretty nearly everything
Isn't it the TRUTH
And yet you often sit around and

and aims of trades unionism. Whose

WHY NOT?

The unionists of Minneapolis and st.
Paul are preparing to make an exhibit
of union made goods at the Minnesota
state fair, and distribute a ton or two
of "union shop literature to the
thousands of visitors. The exhibit will
include everything made by union labor
from brooms to clothing. The literature
will be interesting and instructive.
The cost will be little compared to
| the benefits that will accrue, and di-
vided among the union workers it will
mean only few cents for each one.
The idea is good one, and we would
suggest that the unionists of Nebraska
take the matter up right away and try
to arrange for a similar exhibit at
the Nebraska state fair.
The trouble with unionists is that
they do too little to educate the general
public to the advantages of trades
unionism. 1t is a lamentable fact that
the general public-the great buying
public-s misinformed upon the subject
of trades unionism. The average farmer,
for instance, believes that, the average
unionist is man who goes around with
a dynamite bomb in his pocket seeking
to blow up every man who has money
or who is not himself a member of a
union. The average professional man
has very little better idea of the
objects and aims Of trades unions. The
enemies of unionism have cunningly
deceived this general public by filling
the daily newspapers with misleading
news and downright lies, and the union
lists have wasted all their time sitting
around and cussing the situation instead
of intelligently setting about to remed.
it.
A little work and little expenditur
of money for a proper exhibit at tn
state fair would be fine starter TO
} a campaign Of education. And it
, up to trades unionists to begin RICH
now to counterfeit the schemes Of tn
, anti-unionists.

TRADES UNION PUBLICITY.
Some Valuable Pointers on How te
Properly Educate the Public.

Ordinarily trades unionism is judged
not by its true principles but by some
extraneous matter which is merely in
cidental to the movement. While it
is true that opposition to organized
labor is gradually diminishing on ac-
count of the great familiarity with it's
purpose, nevertheless there are still
large numbers Of people who need to
be converted. This is true not only
with reference to the outsider; but
as matter of fact there are many
in the organization itself who never
have quite caught on to its true inward
ness. Even to many members of or
ganized labor the labor movement is
merely an effort to secure larger wages
and shorter hours.
If one were to go through the min
utes Of the annual conventions of the
| American Federation of Labor it would
be a revelation. The subjects discussed
at these conventions and the actions
| taken by that body would convince
any fair minded person that the Ameri
can Federation of Labor is one of the
most important reform organizations il
America. Workingmen need to know
this as well as professional men anG
others who are not-and probably never
will be-identified with the trades

union. For, after all, the grip that or
ganized labor has upon the workers
depends upon it's value to the workers
A coerced member is never of any real
benefit to the labor movement.
Organized labor, however, is quite
ready to take it's stand upon the prin-
cip1es for which it has been long con-
tending. Very frequently those who
oppose the trades unions do so because
of their environment. They have al
ways lived and moved and had their
being among a class who seemed nat
urally to be opposed to the trades
union, and they cannot conceive of
anything good coming out of the move
ment. There are many others whose
opposition is based upon mere trifles
The, one great thing that organized
labor needs today is the widest pub
licity. Everybody else depends upon
this method for the advancement of
their business. The trades union can
not afford to lag behind in this propa-
ganda method, for it must constantly
receive new members as well as break
down the prejudice Of outsiders. Or
ganized tabor may thrive in spite of
opposition, but it is sure to die because
of Indifference. And Indifference to
organized labor is found very largely
among the very men and women who
should be most closely identified
| with it.
There should be in connection with
every central body an educational or
publicity committee which should make
it it's business to spread the gospel of
organized labor. 1t should be prepared
to furnish the ministers, public school
teachers, college professors and stu
dents, and all other persons who have
to do with the making of public senti
ment, with exact information regard
ing the aims and purposes of organized
labor. This should be done systemati
cally and persistently. Discussion
should be aroused in the press, in debat
ing clubs and in public forums on thu
questions which have to do with labor
