THE NEED OF UNI0NISM.
Without Organization the Workers
Case Is Hopeless

vase 10 EIOpSleSSs
Many years ago. before the era of
concentration, when master and man
were on familiar speaking terms.
there was some scmblanCe of justice
in the dealings between the individual
and the employer Even then, through
the greed of human nature, there were
those employers who never gave any
man what he did not force them to
yield. In the time of which we speak
there was no female or child competi-
ton in the trades. The factory sys-
ten was yet i'm its infancy. Then
came the high tide of immigration.
which was brought about by Il desire
for cheaper labor and the allurements
held OUT by the steamship companies.
The colleges were busy teaching the
exploitation of labor. and a generation
of vipers in the shape of graduates
was turned loose to theoriZe how to
keep down expense of production and
economic in cost of raw material.
Flesh and blood were counted of less
consideration then in the dealings be-
tween the individual and the cost of
finished product.
Then the immigrant. through painful
experience, got wise. The American
workmen had formed trade unions for
their protection. and many of the new
Corners had known of them in Europe,
although they were crude as compared
with the present conservative status.
These trade unions were only formed
as means of self preservation, and If
they were not in existence today the
lot of all workers would be hopeless.
The European gradually refused to be
further made use of, with the eXcep-
ton of the most illiterate races, who
f1ocked to the coal regions and to the
New England textile mills.
The manufacturers next turned to
female labor, which they used as
club or lever to reduce male wages.
AS the factories grew under a benef
cent protection the standard of age
was lessened until the familiar sight
of the child carrying the dinner pail
was reversed and the parent then did
the Juggling.
From this condition the trade union
lists are striving to deliver the nation.
You who never aligned yourself on the
side of what you know in your heart
is the only remedy at hand should
give earnest thought as to whether
you are getting the best there is in life
for a worker. We would ask you in
a serious, unimpassioned manner when
you are informed that you are free
and Independent how much that counts
alton or a large employer of labor
or even an individual and demand
what you may think is just If there
is another free and independent in
reach will you get justice?

the eight hour day. In this fact alone
the body Of the argument for an eight
hour workday on the score of health
is carried to the point of conviction.
Men who are living longer than their
predecessors at the same calling are
obviously living better in all the i'm
plications of the word. They and
their families are housed better, dress
ed better, fed better, educated better
in all respects, as a whole, are hap
pier This truth is to be seen in many
industries and communities.
In proposing an eight hour day the
first question to be settled is economic.
1t is whether the total output will
warrant the possible lessening of effec-
tive toil-in other words, can society
sustain itself and progress on eight
hours work? To this query the indus
trial wagewOrkers reply: There has
been no diminution of output by rea-
son of the reduction of hours of labor
from ten to eight. In not few occu-
pations the output has not varied from
the results of ten hours, the number
of human workers remaining the same
in proportion. Workers with the aid
of new machinery within the period of
the present generation have in nearly
all occupations vastly increased prod
uct. The eight hour day has given
more, not less, of material things to
the world. A whole continent, as is
the case with Australia, may have the
eight hour day and mankind be the
Icher.
1t is clear that the eight hour day is
not only a boon to the men. women
and children who toil-to humanity
but that through it when it shall have
become general the present total pro-
duction of society will be increased
The foremost demand of the organ
ized labor movements is for a shorter
workday It IS in the interest of la
Dor 1t must necessarily be in the In
terest of progress.-Samuel Gompers

There are 1000 union carpenters in

Samuel Gompers will lead the Amer
lean Federation of Labor for another
year.
The Chicago wage Garner averages
little over 5000 year, while in New
York the average is only a little over
$500 year.
The American Federation of Labor
declined to adopt resolution favoring
Capitalization in its officers of the pow
er to call general strikes in given
places.
OF the $1,000 coal miners who went
on strike in the Irwin Greensburg field,
Pennsylvania, on March 10 last nearly
10000 have left the district and sought
labor in other organized fields.

MEMBERSHIP of tho Federation.

While the average paid up member
ship for the twelve months is 1861
151, the membership paid and reported
upon for the month of September of
this year is 1,639,S76. Adding to this
number 100000 members, which is a
low estimate of the membership of the
various international organizations for
whom per capita tax has not been paid
to the American Federation of Labor
for September because of strikes. the
organizations affiliated to the fedora
ton have a grand total of over 1,739,-
S76 members.
Judging from the reports received I
am safe in prophesying that the COM
ing year will show a marked increase
over the membership reported upon
this year-Secretary Morrison's Re-

VALUE OF UNREST
Hope the ImpeIIing Force In All
Human Effort.
HELPS LABOR MOVEMENT.

Without Desire For Better Living Con-
ditions the Worker Is Lost-Trade
Unionsm the Great Uplifting Force
of the Masses,
The spirit of unrest, coupled with an
honest desire for better and more ia
vorable working conditions, is Unborn
in the minds and hearts of nearly all
mankind and is kept alive by the more
enthusiastic and boldly inclined.
1t is well for the workers that this
is true. Whenever the masses lose
hope and ambition and cease to strug
gle the human family will commence
to go backward
This is true in all walks of life, but
especially so in the trade union move
ment
In our unions we have the radical,
the enthusiastic, the young and the
old, the men of experience, the hope
less, the impatient, the ones with faith
and the doubter and many minds with
many different opinions.
The great task is to harmonic all
these conflicting elements in a manner
that will enable us to make Roadway
In permanent and substantial form
that will do the most good for the
greatest number.
The young, inexperienced enthusiast,
while meaning well and with the best
intentions, will stake all in one effort.
while the older and more experienced,
although just as anxious to advance
the cause and DESTROYS Of getting as
much, but with ripper Judgment. counts
the consequences and weighs well the
chances Of success. He is not willing
to rush to almost certain destruction
with the chances 100 to l against him.
He knows from experience the time,
money, labor and self sacrifice that it
has cost to build up and maintain the
international union and Is not willing
to risk its destruction on the turn of
card. These men are the real leaders
and have made the union possible.
The enthusiast is just as necessary
as the old timer with the right heart
and ripper judgment. He arouses the
dormant and hopeless to action, and
great good follows if the majority fol-
low the wise counsel of the more con-
servatively inclined.
The man of judgment who is honest
ly inclined and has the courage of his
convictions will counsel and advise
taking what we are sure of today and
abiding the chance to improve a little
tomorrow or when the time is oppor-
tune. 1t takes more courage to do this
than it does to stand up and play to
the gallery, the prejudice and passion
of infamed members.
The pathway blaZed by the true
union man with ripe judgment and eX-
perience to back it up always leads to
the greatest good for the greatest num-
Der.
In bitterly contested strike in
competitive trade like ours the man of
experience, ripe judgment, knowledge,
fairness and the courage to stand up
and be counted is a boon to the move
ment, a credit to himself and the trade
union movement and will live always
in grateful remembrance in the minds
and hearts of the membership and in
the history of our movement.-Cigar-
makers Journal.
