set it properly before the public
it becomes necessary to make APP
plieation4 of the principle involved
in it's use in other directions than
from the standpoint Of the union
man.
Churches organize, adopt names
and creeds of faith and refuse to
tolerate any infringement upon
their right to worship according
to their standard Of faith and
practice. This the union label
does for the union workmen.
Clubs and associations adopt
the insignia and recognition to
prevent fraud and imposition.
This is the mission of the union
label.
Firms and corporations have
distinguishing marks which they
jealously guard and protect. So
does the organized worker guard
and protect the union label.
Authors and writer's secure
copyrights as a shield from pla-
giarism Of the products Of their
brain and pen. The union work
man uses the label as a shield
for the product of his labor and
Drawn.
Inventors secure letters patent
to prevent infringement upon their
rights. The union label serves the
same purpose for organized labor.
The manufacturer places his
trade mark on the product of his
shop or factory. The label per-
forms the same service for the
worker who brings forth these
products.
1t therefore seems plain that the
same law which steps in and pro-
tects those whose interests lie in
the various arteries of trade and
commerce should step in and pro-
tect the worker in the use of his
distinguishing mark.
But the la bel means even more
than this. To the union man it
means loyalty and fidelity, COM
pact organization, brotherly love
and consideration, fealty to or
ganization, help in time of dis
tress. To the public it means hon.
est work well performed by skill
ed labor, the best material fifty
Joined together by grown-up men
and women at living wages. 1t
means an honest days work for
an honest days pay.
"Self-preservation is the first
law of nature, and it is upon this
idea. that the workingman has
acted in organizing and protect

Duluth, Mimi, March 16. 1911.
To the Editor Of the Labor World:
Please answer the following: Do
you think that the case of the labor
ing man has been advanced by the
unions? On the contrary do you not
think it has been due to the increased
development of the country and scar
ity of skilled labor?
If truth is mighty and must pre-
vail, and right will triumph because
the cause is just why is it that almost
all strikes have failed to produce re-
suits?
Respectfully,
ONE WHO WANTS TO KNOW
Answer: Your first question
comedies that the cause of the Ia
boring man has been advanced,
but the credit for such advance
ment you ascribe to the in
creased development Of the coun-
try and scarcity Of skilled labor. -
Trade unionists dedicate them
selves to the bringing into real
ization of the social. economic and
political reforms as enunciated in
the 20 specifications which com
prise the economic platform of
the American Federation of La
Dor. The development" to which
you refer is more indebted to the
activities of organized labor along
the lines indicated than to any
other cause. 5ss*"
The why Of your second
question proceeds from wrong
premises. The existence of the
fact must be made to appear be.
fore one is called upon to give the
"why" Of it. No strike ever ex:
listed in the ranks Of any craft af.
filiated with organized labor but
resulted beneficially either direct:
" or indirectly. As q rule labor
organizations do not have re
course to the militant aspect:
until they have exhausted every
! other Their means to obtain redress
against wrong. Strikes not unfre
quently involve great sacrifice o.
part Of labor, but the permanen
benefits: resulting to labor's caus.

SOUND DELIVERANCE i
BY JUSTICE HOLMES

Mr.. Justice Holmes, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, has a very
correct idea about the duty Of the
court and it's relations to the legisla-
ture. Some clear and reasonable re-
marks of his in Johnson VS.. United
States may be recommended to judges
and lawyers in general. "A statute may
indicate or require as it's justification
change in the policy of the law,
although it expresses that change only
in the specific cases most likely to
occur to the mind. The Legislature
has the power to decide what the
policy Of the law shall be, and if it
has intimated its will. however In
directly, that will should be recognized
and obeyed. The major premise of
the conclusion expressed in a statute
may not be set out in terms, but it
is not an adequate discharge of duty
for courts to say: We see what you
are driving at, but you have not said
it, and, therefore,, we shall go along
as before" The public will never
be satisfied with it's courts until there

Charles A. Greathouse, superinteEd-
emit of public instruction, has started
on a plan to uplift the country schools
OF Indiana. He expects to visit thirty
counties in the State in order to gath,
er data for an elaborate program of
rejuvination of the rural schools of
Hoosierdom.
The superintendent intends to use
the data gathered in lmpressing upon
1913 Legislature the backwardness Of
Indiana in regard to the development
of it's rural schools. In some comr,uni-
ties, the superintendent says, the
schools continue in session but five
months and believe that such system
should be changed radically. He will
study the teaching, structure of the
buildings and general conditions sur
rounding each of the typical schools
and will compile tabulations of the
facts he finds apparent.
