If IT WERE A CRIME TO
BUY NON.UNION GOODS!

If trade unionists only under
stood the full meaning of union
and solidarity, their power would
be invincible.
Today union men often spend
$40 a month to destroy unionism,
where they give up 81 month to
build up unionism.
Union men as a body spend no
less than $150o,0oo,0o0 = year to
purchase the necessities of life.
Every dollar of that immense
sum spent for non-union goods is
spent to break down unionism.
If a strike is on in a shoe fac
tory, union mall over the coun-
try send their contributions to
support the strike. If the strike
fails and unfair laborers are en-
ployed, union men often buy the
product Of that unfair labor.
What with one hand they try
to build up, with the other they
try to tear down.
If a union man gives a dollar
9 month to support his union, he
thinks he has done a great deal.
By paying those dues he expects
to build up a powerful trade union

Roosevelt idolators,s who seem at
present to include a majority of the
voting population Of the United
States, can see no flaw in their idol.
They do not presume to question his
acts, much less his motives. No
strain is too severe for his popularity
to Withstand says D. K. l.. in The
Public.
Prof. w. G. Sumner. in his inter-
esting if somewhat prejudiced bio
graphy of Andrew Jackson, recorded
that the only reply Jacksonian
would make to any aspersion upon
Old Hickory was 'Hurrah for Jack
SOM"
So the politician of Oyster Bay can
do nothing apparently that will not
elicit from his admirers the cry,
'Hurrah for Teddy!'
If it were possible for Mr.. Roose-
welt by his own acts to discredit him
self, his course since his return from
Europe would have accomplished it.
No politician has ever made more
conspicuous effort to carry water on
both shoulders, but his ability etc
get away with it, has proved truly
marvellous.
Several times he has had each OF
the two irreconcilable elements with
in his party alternating between
hope and fear that he was about to
commit himself definitely to one side
or the other, but as yet, both are
kept guessing about his ultimate po-
litical destination.
It is evident from the press dis
patches that Mr.. Roosevelt came per-
ilously near to break with President
Taft.
It is equally evident, and very
noteworthy, that the near break was
due, not to Mr.. Roosevelt's disap-
proval of Mr.. Taft's reactionary pol
icies and standpat alliances, but te
Mr.. Roosevelt's temporary belief that
his successor-the man he made
president-had been a party to a
personal snub administered to Mr.

THE UNION IS YOUR ONLY
RECOURSE, MIR. WORKER

THE UNION IS YOUR ONLY
RECOURSE, MIR. WORKER
The eighth wonder Of the world
the most mysterious human be-
ing alive-is the wageworker who
will not join the union Of his craft.
He can offer no good reason for
not joining.
. In most instances he doesn t
pretend to have a reason for re-
naming outside of the ranks.
He is a mule and refuses to eat
at meal time.
There are, of course, rare in
stances of men who are too cusse,l
mean to get into line-but such
men are not worth discussing we
should not trouble ourselves with
them.
Then again there are those who
pinch pennies so hard that they
brazenly announce that any i'm
provement the union may secure
they will share, without the cost.
They, too, are so contemplate
that we shall not discuss them.
So the question resolves itself
into putting out to non-members
the advantages to be gained by
supporting the general union
body.
Many unions have nearly dou-
bled the wages of their members
during the past fifteen years.
The printers have increased
their wages some forty per cent
and immensely improved working
conditions in printing offices of all
descriptions during the past
twenty years, by the efficiency of
the International Typographical
Union.
Today the coal miners of many
districts are returning to work at
increased wages and better condi-
tions. They went on strike for
these things about four months
ago.
The railroad trainmen and en-.
ginemen are obtaining increases
all over the country. The section
hands are not obtaining increases
in wages. The trainmen and en-.
ginemen are organized. The sec.
ton hands are not organized.
To belong to the union is not tc
fight the employers. You do not
swear that you will ruin a print.

BABYs SCALP cRusTEp

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got cake of Cuticura Soap, q
box Of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie OF Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began TO improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was we'll. She Is
now sixteen years of age and pic
ture of health. We used the Cuti-

found out what the Cuticura Remedies
