Biblical admonition to eat their bread
in the sweat of their brow have. seen
their labor turned to the enrichment
Of others to their own detriment, and
from the knowledge of this condition
has sprung a healthy and VIGOROUS
discomfort that will exist and work
Tor good so long as any form of in
justice finds place in our industrial
life.
The trade-union, that most benefit
cent institution of the toiler. owes it's
birth to this Industrial discomfort,
Discomfort, through this medium, has
brought the eight-hour day to many
trades and is working ceaselessly for
1t in all the rest; it has secured for
the worker many advantages of life
he did not before enjoy, and holds
out to him the promise of still greater
measure. Discomfort is responsible
for a greater degree of education for
our children than ever; it is provid-
Ing them with opportunities fir
knowledge instead of profit-making
for others, and it is bring the feet
of the toiler solidly to the ground and
his face to the light and making of
him truly a man.
1t is indeed strange, and a pity
that so many of the worlds workers
still withhold from this industrial |
army of discomfort the affiliation and
support they so surely owe and which
can bring them SO much good. More
thoroughly but impotently discon-
tented than all the rest, they do not
or cannot see that the only powerful
and effective discomfort is that which
IS crystallized and made known in
concrete form. and which can find its
expression only through organization

Duluth, Mimi. March 27, 1911:
Editor Of Labor World:
The women of Illinois have been
heard for on the suffrage question
and here is what they say:
We acknowledge no inferiority to
men. We claim to have no less abil-
ity to perform the duties which God
has imposed upon US than they have
to perform those imposed upon them.
We believe that God has wisely and
we'll adapted each sex to the proper
performance Of the duties of each.
We believe our trusts to be as i'm
portant and sacred as any that exist
On earth.
We believe woman suffrage would
relatively lessen the influence of the
intelligent and true, and increase the
Influence of the ignorant and vicious
We feel that our present duties fill
up the whole measure of our time and
ability, and are such as none but our
selves can perform. Our appreciation
of their. importance requires us to
protest against all efforts to infringe
upon our rights by imposing upon US
those obligations which cannot be
separated from suffrage, but which,
as we think, cannot be performed by
Us without the sacrifice of the high
est interests of our families and OF
society.
1t is our fathers, brothers, hus-
| ba-ds, and sons who represent US al
the ballot-box. Our fathers and our
brothers love us; our husbands are
our choice and one with us; our sons
are what we make them. We are
content that they represent us in the
corn-field, on the battle field, and al
the ballot-box, and we them in the
| school room, at the fireside, and al
the cradle, believing our representa-.
ton even at the ballot-box to be thus
more full and impartial than it woulC
be were the views of the few who
wish suffrage adopted, contrary tc
the Judgment of the many.
We do therefore, respectfully protes
against any legislation to establish
| woman suffrage in the state Of Hi.

Discomfort.
The Motive Force in the Progress Of
the World Trough All
the Ages.
(By Herbert H. Morley.)

The progress of the world through
all the ages has been founded upon
human discontent-the dissatisfac-
ton with things as they are, finding
its expression in a determined. force
full struggle for Improvement.
No reference is intended to the
carping, snarling, whining discomfort
Of the chronic pessimist; but that
higher, nobler, divine discomfort
which moves men in their ambition
for better things, and without which
this old world would become as
q stagnant pool, breeding disease, rot
tenness and decay in every branch of
human endeavor.
Discomfort, through the steps Of it's
progress, made freemen of the vassals
and Williams of the feudal age, took
from them the stigma of chattels and
vested in them at least some of the
rights Of human beings; it impelled
the religiously downtrodden inhabi-
tants af the old world to begin the
journey that saw it's end at Plymouth
Rock; 1t moved them later, when the
hand of the oppressor became too
firm, to defiantly toss the historic
cargo of tea into Boston harbor; and
it was this same noble quality of the
human mind that furnished the vigor
to prosecute the Revolutionary war
and gave to the world the Stars and
Stripes.
1ndustrially, discomfort has ruled
the mind # the workers since the
plan of profiting by the labor of
others was first devised. Those who
through force of circumstances and
for other reasons have -.eeded the

unionism should be missionary to
bear the truth. .4>.s
And you, brother unionist, how is
your standard of discomfort? Are
you still full Of the realization that
there is yet withheld from you part
of that which is yours by right Of
toll? And are you still, with your
shoulder to the organization wheel,
striving to do you share in labor's
struggle? Or are you content with
what good your organization may do
without your assistance-areD you let
sowing while you assist at the har-
vest? Or has some one told you that
you should be contented-that you
should "let we'll enough alone"
Let no man preach, to you the doc
trine of contentment-thisi is the song
of the siren. Where contentment
reigns there is an end to progress;
for when people become contented
they cease to aspire to greater things,
and then begins the period of retro
erosion and decay. And the instant
that labor assumes the posture of con-
tent, that moment will commence the
backward march-for 1t is as true to-
day as ever that there is no such
|. thing as standing still. And the army
of labor must continue its forward
march to industrial victory. and it
needs the help Of every wage-earner
that it's progress may be the more
rapid.
The man who tells you to be con-
tent is he who wants you to be salts
fled with a bare existence, while he
alone enjoys the comforts and lux
uries which you produce. Your dis
content is notice that he is to be call
ed upon to relinquish some Of the
fruits of your labor he now wrongfully
enjoys, that you may get your share.
He wants you to be contented with
an unfair division Of the product of
your toll. a condition beyond human
possibility.
So beguile us not not with your LET
we'll enough alone" The man who
voices this sophistry means we'll
! enough for himself, but not for you.
He will be the first to profit by your
false contentment, and you the one
who will surely lose. So keep your
shoulder to the wheel, brother un-
| ion1sts. Serve notice to all the world
that contentment can never come
while progress is possible. and the end
of progress is still some time away:
