LOVING ONES WORK,

The work that gives the great
est pleasure to any one is the
work that enables a man to create
some useful things, or a thing of
beauty. The man who takes a
piece of iron and FORCES a horse
shoe has pride in it because it is
the product of his skill. The
printer who sets, the pressman
prints colored advertisements, or
books Of advertisements which
are pleasing TO- the eye; the
jeweler who moulds out Of gold
and silver beautiful emblems the
painter, the photo engraver, the
carpenter, aye, the mechanics Of
every trade, skilled or unskilled,
are always in love with their
work; if they were not, they could
not acquire the skill necessary to
excel in their particular craft or
calling. s 4.

A MERITORIoUs MOVE.

In common with labor news
papers throughout the country,
we desire to express our apprecia-
ton of the action of the execu-
tive, officers Of the A. F. of L. in
inaugurating the plan of sending
weekly news letter to all labor
publications.
Washington, aside from being
the: headquarters of the trade
union movement, together with
congress in session the greater
part of the year, is an ideal loca.
tion as a news gathering point.
So far as the labor movement is
concerned it is strongly reflected
in all it's details at A. F. Of L.
headquarters. From the legisla-
tive end it is possible to watch
infinitely the doings of the nation
al legislature and inform the
union population Of the entire
country Of the important happen
ings from week to week.

One Of the most important du-
ties devolying upon men and wo-
men who join a trade union is too
frequently neglected-at attendance
at their union meetings. This is a
serious matter, more so than ap-
pears at first glance. Only by in
telligent support can an organiza-
tlon assume responsible posi-
ton. This is not given when to
minority is intrusted the plenary
power Of acting and speaking for
all. Union meetings need the at
tendance of the rank and file.
The business considered is seri-
GUS. 1t deals with the welfare of
the home and the most vital rela,

employer. Collective bargaining
should represent a real majority.

values will compel these owners
to either improve the land them

since otherwise the taxes would
make land holding Improbable.
So the abolition of all taxes on
