THE STRONG LABOR UNION.
The Organization That Stands and
Works For Some Vital Truth.


When all men speak we'll of your
organization watch out. II means that
you have developed into a fiabby, In
vertebrate, forceless institution, says
the Rev. DR.. Charles Stelzle. One of
the glories of organized labor is that
It has strong enemies as well as strong
friends. There is danger In too much
commentator. There is a letting go
of the vital things when prosperity
and fiattery enter. The man or the
movement that lives and moves is
bound to make mistakes. He who new
err makes mistakes never makes any
thing else The best men and the
greatest movements make stepping
stones of past failures. But criticisms
and mistakes avail for very little IN
less the organization has back OF 1t
a great purpose The perfunctory
meeting and the platitudlnous address
never win out. This is true of the la
Dor union as II is true of the church
or any other movement.

TONS life is important. But yaude-

Recall For JUDGES.

Governor Osborn of Michigan fur
nishes further argument In support of
the recall for judges. The Michigan
legislature recently passed q bill repeal
ing requirement that the supreme
court judges of that state reside at the
capital. and Governor Osborn vetoed
the bill because the judges had pre-
viously agreed in consideration of an
increase In their salaries that they
would reside there. In his veto mes
sage he said: This bill has been lob
bied for actively by members OF The
supreme court. actuated by selfish pur
poses While this may be their priv
lege. II indicates the finite character
of our courts and proves 70 my mind
that any recall law that might be Ell
acted should apply to the judiciary
with equal force as to other officers OF
the government Public.

"the unwarranted attack made upon the
American Writing Paper company" re-
garding long hours and arduous condi-

A long contest has been waged in Holy

time it has not been successful. There
are mills, however, that are organized
and paying living wages and are in
agreement with organized labor These
latter mills are manufacturing paper
bearing the water mark (union label) of
the Paper Makers union, and many of
the large international unions, as well as
the American Federation of Labor, are
using exclusively union water marked
paper. This fact is worrying the Ameri-
can Paper and Pulp association, hence
the circular mentioned. Union water
marked paper is rapidly increasing in
demand.

The move for acquisition of children's
play grounds is fine thing and should
receive hearty encouragement from
everybody. The old adage that Satan
finds some mischief for idle hands to
do still holds good. Healthy, red
blooded young America needs some ply
steal outlet for it's high spirits and there
is no way in which young enthusiasm
can be turned to better account than by
providing safe places of recreation.
Give the American boy an opportunity
for clean sport and you lessen greatly
the chances that that boy will ever turn
out vicious or criminal.
