DR.. Storer, who gives his personal

ganization exists, the individual that
betrays the movement can be brushed
aside. .,-.
In Milwaukee the movement is not
only of men, but of principles and OF
organization. = I H.. g., =.
Some Of the. labor papers express
some concern over the future Of the
Milwaukee movement.
They say they will await the test
before expressing an opinion; but the
test has already been made! nix
The Milwaukee movement has been
undergoing a test for twenty years
could have won victories long ago.
Had it only desired to elect a pop
ular union official it could have had
that empty honor a decade ago. -
Had it desired merely sweet words
and lip praise, Berger could today
have been in, congress brushing the
boots of some Democratic or Repub-
lican boss.
No, the test Of the Milwaukee
movement was made during the long
years of privation and defeat that
preceded the present victory.
Today the workers of Milwaukee
know what they want and they have
set out to get what they want.
, They have asked no favors in get
ting into power, and they. will need
to give no. favors to keep in power.
They have the movement, the
votes, the intelligence and the deter
mination, anpd when in their battle
to remodel the city of Milwaukee they
meet trials and tribulations, they will
not be baffled.
They know trials and tribulations
of old. They have met them at every
step in their onward movement, and
as they have overcome the obstacles
of the past, they will overcome the
obstacles Of the future.
And as they have prevailed over
the discouragements that come to all
who fail, they will prevail over the
discouragements that confront the
victorious as we'll.
Let labor keep it's eye on Milwau-
kee. It is an example to America OF
what labor politically united and in.
diligently organized can do.-Robert

What Is Relation Of Trades
Unionism to Milwaukee Victory?

One of the gratifying signs Of the
time has been the joyful way in
which labor papers all over the coun-
try have received the news of the
Milwaukee victory. ~"
Nearly every trade union journal
has commended the work of the Mil
waukee workers and spoken of the
Socialist victory there as an awak-
ening of labor.
There has been some scoffing, but
on the whole we may expect the
labor movement of America to keep
its eyes intent upon Milwaukee. .
And the fact is the trade union
movement should have no less pride
than the Socialist movement in this
victory.
Nearly every man elected is trade
uhionist. The mayor is pattern
maker and several of the aldermen
are union officials.
And labor should be especially
proud of this victory, because it is
really the only political victory yet
won by labor in this country.
It was won through their efforts,
through their own organizations and
through their own votes.
The newly elected municipal Off
GERS are no less responsible to thcir
organizations than a walking delegate
or the president of a union is re-
sponsible to the union.
Labor is going into politics very
fast, but unfortunately most every
where it is going into politics in the
wrong way.
In some places it is begging this
man or that man to promise to be-
friend labor.
In other places 1t Is putting up it's
own men in the hope of getting the
Democrats or Republicans to support
them, but nowhere, except in Mil
waukee, has union labor it's own po-
littcal organization, its own political
program and its own politial repre-
sentatives.
If Pattern Maker Seidel should go
wrong it will hurt the Milwaukee
movement just as much and no more
than it hurts a union to have one
official go wrong.

CANADA'S ANTI-STRIKE r.
ACT PROVED EFFECTIVE:

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Victor S.
Clark in an article in Bulletin No.
So, of the bureau OF Labor of the
uses the Canadian industrial disputes
investigation act as the basis of his
subject.
The dominant motive of the act
was to prevent strikes and .lockouts
that seriously and directly affect the
general welfare. The method of the
law in such disputes is to prohibit a
cessation Of industry under penalties
until by the investigation Of an Off
cial board the public is officially in
formed of the grounds of the contro-
versy. The law provides for boards
of Cancellation and investigation ap-
pointed for each dispute. r
From March %, 1907, when the
act went into effect, to August, 1909.
boards were appointed and acted In
a total Of f1fty-nine disputes. These
disputes involved altogether $500
employees. In five cases there were
legal strikes, that is, begun after the
! report Of a board, and in eight cases
there were illegal strikes, that is, be-
gun before or pending investigation
by a board; in forty-fve cases settle
ment was secured without strike.
The friends Of the act claim that q
considerable number of disputes
which otherwise might have resulted
in a strike have been settled without
a board because the parties were un-
| willing to have public investiga-
ton. The most valuable feature Of
the act is claimed to be that it fur.
nishes regular formal procedure
for bringing parties together before
| a strike or lockout occurs. >-5.&

SPR0AT CAR WINS
CHICAGO FIRST PRIZE

A telegram was received here Tues
day from Secretary Skinner that the
Sproat car of Spitzenburgs had been
awarded the first prize and sweep
stakes at the Chicago Land Show.
The prize consists Of beautiful ster-
ling silver loving cup, said to be worth
$500. Mr.. Sproat says that he has not
received any official notice himself,
other than the wire from Mr.. Skinner.
The following report appeared in
the Portland Journal, but the state
ment that a cash prize Of 81 ,00O had
been awarded in addition to the cup is
probably Incorrect:
Chicago, H., Nov. % Oregon
apples carried off the grand sweep
stakes prize at the Chicago Land Show
today when c. II, Sproat, of Hood
River, won the cup and $1,000 for the
best carload Of apples. This is the
same car of apple that won the grand
sweepstakes prize at the National
Apple Show at Spokane. Wash.
This car of Spitznburgs was in
competition with apples from all sec
tions of the United States and, con-
sdering the fact that they were hauled
farther and handled twice, this is re-
markable record. The apples scored
997 points out Of a possible 1000 at the
Spokane show and have now captured
two worlds prizes.
&c. II. Sproat owns the Eld0rado
orchard at Hood River consisting of 40
acres and the prize-Winning car was
taken from this orchard alone. This
orchard is not under irrigation.
Mr.. Sproat has been offered almost
fabulous sums for various boxes Of the
prize winning apples, but will pro-
badly sell the car in one lot to COM
mission house.
"Oregon fruit and other exhibits are
attracting attention from thousands
of people who are looking westward
and the fact that Hood River apples
have won the grand prize means that
the tide of immigration will be heavier
to Oregon than any other state, judg-
ing from the comment heard on all
sides"
