OF GREAT | INTEREST
To UNION SMOKERS I
The Following Little Story With
a Moral Should Be Read BY
All Union Men.

six years ago farmer in one of
our leading counties put his initials
on a one-dollar bill. The next day he
came to town and spent 1t with a
merchant Before six months had
passed he got the same dollar back.
Four times in three years the bill
came back to him for produce, and
three times he heard of it in the
pockets of neighbors. The last time
he saw the bill was three years ago.
He sent it to a mail-order house. He
will never see that bill again. The
dollar bill will never pay any more
school or county taxes for him; will
never build or brighten any more
homes in the community. He sent
it entirely out of usefulness to him.
self and his neighbors when he sent
it to the mail-order house.
The Moral Is Plain.
"Patronize the home industries, the
home merchants and the union made
cigars. The ones that have the Light
Blue Label on the box. Build up our
state, and to do this you must keep
the money here, to employ those at
home. Let US all try this for one year

Gasser received a copy of the con.

CLARENCE G. BARRON
An eminent LAWYER
Sketch Of the Life and History Of
the Chief Counsel for the
McNamaras, ts.,
Reprehensible Kidnapping TAG
tics Pursued With Defendants
: Condemned Everywhere.

It is not improbable that the read
ers of the Labor World shall enjoy
a sketch of the man who is to be
brothers, I'm the alleged or rather
trumpet up dynamite case.
Clarence S. Darrow, lawyer, author,
lecturer and student of sociology, Is
one of the most eminent attorneys
in America. His famous and brilliant
defense of the Haywood Moyer-Pet
bone case is world wide. Upon this
noted legal battle he spent sixteen
months and brought to successful con-
clusion a case that at the onset ap-
peared to be one of monstrous GRIM
inality upon the part of the accused.
His study of sociology began with
the great Haymarket trial in Chicago
when Parsons, Spies, Engel and
Fischer were hanged for completely in
riots in which policemen were killed.
It was not the guilt or the innocence
of the accused that attracted Mr.. OAR
row, but rather the expression of the
unrest of the toilers as exempli1ed
in the upheaval in Chicago upon that
eventful day in 1887.
Since then Mr.. Darrow barring time
not consumed in law practice, has de-
voted his time and energy toward a
betterment of the worker. His nu-
merous writings testify to that fact
and cover vast field of subjects. His
principal works are: Pennington, a
story of childhood; A Persian Pearl
and other Essays; Resist Not Evil;
wood; Realism in Literature; and Art
Crime and Criminals, an address to
the prisoners in the Chicago County
Jail; An Eye for An Eye, a story of
punishment of vengeance; The Open
Shop, and numerous other essays and
lectures.
THE Open Shop" deals particularly
with this great fallacy of the union
hater who seeks at all times to dis
rupt the union. The ambiguity and
falsity of the open shop expression
is clearly defined, and the author
shows in particularly able manner
the reason for the organization of
labor unions.
"Resist Not Evil" Mr.. Darrow's
most famous literary production,
treats of the theory of non-resistance
as inculcated in the works of the i'm
mortal Tolstoy and is considered a
classic in that line.
The works of Mr.. barrow can be
found at the Los Angeles public IL
brary. 49, . .~
Mr.. barrow is man Of delightful
personality and is Of easy approach.
He has the public type of face, at
times somewhat rigid but which re-
lakes in .joviality upon every >oc-
casion. He has a slightly protuberant
nose, which is facial characteristic
of great perceptive force and prefer
ence for art. His hair is sparsely
settled on top showing to a slight
degree the RELENTLESS hand of time"
He. has deep piercing gray eyes that
fairly look through one. His chin

Mr.. barrow does not look over Wig
orous nor does he appear to be ILL.
In appearance he is a man Of above
normal height and is somewhat in
plainly and is not given to ostentation.
He is 81 years of age.
Although he is of that type of the
great common people whom the Lord
must have loved because he made so
many of them, so Abraham Lincoln

As Yet There Is No indication Of
&@ u Trouble on This side Of the
i a., Atlantic. III Il 5s.{ atssa$$$.

LONDON. June S The strike Of
seamen and firemen5fwas launched Of
ficially at Liverpool and at some Of
the other parts OF the British Isles
and the continent yesterday.
The International Seamen's union
issued proclamation stating that the
signal for an International strike
would be given through the United
Kingdom, France. Belgium. Holland
and Scandinavia. y l.s@: Il Z. 4 .;st.
The first big steamers to be tied up
were transatlantic liners. The crews
Of the Teutonic and the Empress of
Ireland, numbering $50 and 800 men
respectively. refused to sign.
NEW YORK. June 15.-Probably
none of the big transatlantic liners
or any of the 200 or. more tramp
steamers of foreign I: origin will be
abandoned by their crews in this coun-
try as result Of the strike declared
by the international Seamen's union
in England according to Matthew
in America.
The HamDurg-Amerlcan line and
the. North German Lloyd line signed
the agreement for higher wages and
they will not be affected in the least, -
said Tearle. THE, American line is
paying the wages, demanded and of
course its crews will not strike on that
score. The American line wants the
men to pass: a medical examination,
to which they. object, but this diff
ference probably will be adjusted.
THE Conard, North Star, Red Star
and Atlantic Transport lines are of
foreign register and the crews are
signed over there for round trips.
Therefore the crews now on those
boats in American ports or bound for
American ports must remain on them
until they return to: their European
docks, when they will Join the strike
