good turn for many . poor soul
who is trying to uplift the work
ing conditions.
Many garments now worn by
women, as well as those worn by
men, are made in union factories
where the works. done under con.
ditions that are fair and honor
able to those whose labors pro-
duce those articles.
BY insisting upon fair condi-
tions under which her children
may work the wife is preaching
good sound doctrine by seeing to
it that the union label is on all
her purchases, for sale is practic-
ing the doctrine in it's real
essence.

to this topic and see what ef-
feet it will have on the demand

A BESETTINC SIN.

One OF the besetting sins Of
certain union men is lack of in
terest in the meetings OF their or
CARNATIONS. This does not apply
to any one branch of labor in
particular, but in a greater or
less degree to all.
Night after night few faith
full ones will gather and transact
the business for the whole organ
ization to the best of their ability.
while the great number will stay
at home and accept the benefits
secured thru the efforts of the
faithful thinking they have done
their part if they simply pay their
dues.
The. men who do the work are
often accused of wanting to run
things and of railroading certain
matters through, when the facts
are, at least in a large majority
of cases, the active men would
be more than pleased to stay
down and out if the stay-at-home
GROWERS would only take enough
interest in their own welfare to
attend the meetings and get in
terested in the work.

THE UNION LABEL.

The union label is the unmistak-
able sign of practical co-opera-
ton between employer and en-
ploye. The demand for the union
label completes. the relationship
necessary to the most effective
practice Of cooperation by max
ing the purchaser also a partner
in the business.
With the purchasing power''
in her pocket and the union Ia
bel in her heart woman rules with
the olive branch. She is the mis-
tress Of the situation.
The child who demands the
union label yields more influence
than the man or woman who
strikes. The strikers place may
be filled, but there is no SUBJ
stitute for the union label

MUST NOT FORGET.

The laboring man, as rule is
prone to forget the great bene-
fits the labor movement has
given him. He takes, or rather
accepts the benefits of higher
wages and shorter hours as a mat
ter of course, thinking they are
his just due. They are, of course,
but with a proviso-namely, did
he do his part toward bringing
about these better conditions7 AS
after of fact, did he put his
>wn shoulder to the wheel and
help bring those conditions into
existence?
If he did not, it is his duty te
atone for his past neglect by do
ing so now.

APPEARANCE VANITY.

heeplng up appearances is
responsible for many crime, and
today there is many luckless
man in a prison cell who would
be at liberty, with his character
unstained, had it not been for his
futile, foolish efforts to keep up
appearance and to live better than
his income warranted.
There are. many others who
have escaped the clutches of the
law who have committed criminal
acts for the same reasons, and
thousands more are leading lives
Of apparent prosperity which
must sooner or later lead them in
to dire and disgrace and degree
dalton.
Above all things they prize ap-
pearances, and when they are able
to surpass the splendor of their
neighbors their cup of happiness
is full to overlooking, They are
not naturally bad, but are simply
weak. With many it is dress,
with others it. is jewelry, there
are still others who seek the best
houses. and not q few tho fastest
autos. All lead to the same Bit
ter end. -
10 keep up appearances and
keep down expenses is one Of the
most difficult of the problems Of
life, and to do this not few place
themselves in a position of harrow
ing anxiety.
Ambition to appear to the best
advantage and to have good So
cial standing is not to be depre-
Gated, but when such ends can
only be attained by such desper-
ate chances, it is far better to
make up your mind to go without

But as the buyer or purchasing

ABSENT MEMBERS.

1t is a queer thing that men
who have seen the advantages Sc
cured through organization-the
shorter hours, increased pay, bet
ter working conditions, etc.,
should apparently think so little
OF the organization responsible
for these advantages, as to alb
sent themselves from meetings
and refuse to bear their share of
the necessary work to maintain
the organization and secure
through it even better conditions.
Nine times out Of ten, when
you hear a man kicking about the
action of his union, you can safely
place him on the list of stay-at-
home members. We realize that
this is true, not only of organiza-
ton, but of fraternal and other
societies and lodges, but if there
is one place where it should be
abolished and the membership as
a whole become thoroughly in.
terested and alive to the needs
Of the moment, it is the organiza
tion Of the workers.

QUESTION or WAGES.

The question of receiving fair
ly good wages is one Of profound
business interest. 1t is one that
should concern every person who
depends upon the patronage OF
the public. The labor union, as
the agency Of good wages, should
receive the heartiest encourage
ment of all aggressive business
and professional people.
To whom does the average bust
ness and professional man look
for support9 What is it that gov
erns the expenditures Of the
working man? 1t is income? If
his wages are small, the string
ency is felt by all with whom he
has to do.
Truly it has been said: "The
druggist, the merchant, the doc
tor, the actor etc., are less pros
porous when the wage worker has
less money; and the monopolists
dream of producing wealth with
machinery and monkeys would be
death Of all business.
Trade is kept up not by the oc-
casional purchase Of luxury but
by the steady everyday purchase
of necessities. 1t depends on
buyers, and buyers must get
money before they can spend it.
Poorly paid workers buy very
little, and machines buy nothing
at all -

THE NON. UNION. MAN.

Stripped of the strength that
comes from combination, reprived
Of the support Of the men who
work beside him, the morgan
lied worker is compelled to toll
for whatever wage is offered and
under whatever conditions are
imposed.
If dissatisfied with his job he
has the liberty to quit and per-
haps find one even less satisfac-
tory.
When he becomes sick he must
spend the few dollars he has
saved and then ask charity from
strangers; if injured he must go
to the poorhouse;. when he dies
to the potters' field. For him
no such pay, with friendly COM
mlttees to see that he is properly
cared for; no disability benefits
in case Of misfortune; no certain
ly of q decent burial.
While health and strength last
AS long as he is a profitable SER
vant-he may not feel the empt-
mess Of his life, may not miss the
friendship of his fellow man.
But when the evil days are upon
him, when his hand loses it's cum.
ming and His arms their strength.
when sickness saps his vitality
and old age creeps apace he will
see his folly and bitterly realize
that sorrow and failure await
those who, engrossed in self, for.
get their fellowmen.

THE DOLLAR AS A
MEASURE OF DUTY

1t has long been notorious that
the Republic of Mexico is a re-
public in name only; that it is an
autocracy and a tyranny, it's cleo
tlons carried by bayonet charges,
its justice made a commodity, it's
rights Of citizenship a mockery
and its system of education a
myth on paper; that rights of pro.
perty, except to the privileged,
are not in esse, that only rich
are prosperous and the influential
secure; that the Yaquis are sold
into an discriminating slavery and
that peonage, medieval as to time
and hopeless to results, character
ICES the industry of the country.
And yet it was not until dollars
appeared to be in danger that a

THE MARCH OF MEN.


Answer: We think the following is
the poem to which you refer:
If you could cast away the pain,
The sorrow and the tears,
And let the joys alone remain
From all departed years;
If you could quite forget the signs
And recollect the song
What think you, would you be ar
wise,
AS helpful, or as strong.
1t you could lay the burden down
That bows your head at whites,
Shun everything that wears a frown,
- And live life of smiles
BE happy as a child again,
AS free from thoughts of care.
Would you appear to other men
More noble or more fair?
All, no! man should do his part
And carry all his load,
Rejoice to share with every heart
The roughness of the road.
Not given to thinking overmuch
Of pains and griefs behind,
But glad to be in fullest touch
With all his human kind.

TALENT FOR WORK.

Far more important than bril-
liant abilities is talent for
work-for hard persistent unre-
hitting toll. Mental cleverness
is the edge of the knife which
makes it penetrate, but whether
it penetrate deeply or not de-
ponds far more upon the force
applied to it. and the persistence
with which it is applied than
upon the sharpness Of the
blade itself. No enduring good

AIMS OF UNIONISM


the American Federation Of La
Dor, clearly defines the aims and
objects of the labor movement
when he says the ultimate aim of
the labor movement is to estab-
lish condition of society, first,
that will insure to each head of
a family equal and ample op-
portunity to secure a. livelihood
which will be sufficient to provide
his family with the same neces-
sites and luxuries Of life enjoyed
by any other citizen, that will en-
able him to give to his children
an education in whatever direc-
ton they may decide to follow
equal to that received by the chill
clren Of every other member Of
society. 4
TO enlarge the opportunity to
secure employment, the trade
unions are advocating and estab-
fishing a shorter work day for
it's members. TO insure equal
education, the trade unions are
endeavoring to secure the enact
ment of compulsory education
laws, and child labor laws in
every state, territory and pro-
vince in America, thus withdraw
ing the children from the fac
tories, mines and workshops.
The trade unions assert that
all benefits ACQUIRING from the in
auguration of labor saving de-
vices or cheap forms of distribu-
ton should be enjoyed equally by
oil the people instead Of being d.
verified to the benefit of the few.
The labor movement holds that
all people are entitled to par.
take equally of the joy Of living
that a condition that permits
part Of our people to live in
affluence, while another part is
compelled to work long hours and
meager wages, should be abol-
ished; that a condition that fur
nishes work to only fraction of
the people and leaves another
fraction without employment and
helpless for long periods, should
be eliminated from our civiliza-
tion.
Many claim that efforts along
the direction are an iridescent
dream, and cannot be realized for
years to come but it is now ap-
preaching. It will come with the
full awakening of the conscious
ness Of our people, a consciousness
which is rapidly growing in
strength and power and is now in
allegiance, awaiting the psycholog.
+ ical moment when the great vi.
, brating will of all the people has
been crystalized into an active
and intellectual force that will
sweep aside all obstacles that re.
sist it's purpose to mete out jus.
tice to all mankind and establish
among all the peoples of the
earth the brotherhood of man,
The hot-tempered person is the
one who requires the cool treat.

LABoR's POSITION DEFINED.

head the industrial ills against
which society SO justly complains,
many suggestions are made and
innumerable remedies proposed.
On the one hand are found forces
that deny to labor the right Of Or
ganization; on the other. hand are
forces at work advocating and
demanding the abolition of the
whole wage system.
Between these extremes stands
a great army of workmen and
many employers earnestly striv-
ing to find grounds of agreement
upon which the rights and obi
cations of each may be defined
and brought into harmony.
With all respect to the opinions
of others, it seems to us that
the path of safety, progress and
justice lies in the middle course;
in the recognition of the right of
organization on the part of both
labor and capital, by which and
through which these factors in
our industrial life may work out
the inevitable destiny.
The trade agreement, the col
lective bargain, is the bond be-
tween labor and capital; it re-
stores in a large measure the per-
sonal relationship, the mutual in
terest which existed prior to the
advent of the factory system. 1t
is an acknowledge Of the interde-
pendence of labor and capital, a
recognition Of the reciprocal in
terests Of employer and employee.
When the right or organization
among both workmen and en-
ployers is fully reconized and
freely conceded, and when these
forces adopt the policy of collec-
tive bargaining, the day Of the
strike and lockout the boycott
and the blacklist will have large
ly passed away.
The employed and the work
man are mutually interested in
the successful conduct of indus
try the profits of the one and the
wages OF the other obviously are
contingent upon it, as both pro-
tits and wages must paid from
the earnings Of the enterprise in
which the capital Of the one and
the labor of the other are Jointly
invested.
This being true, the workman
and the employer are equally con-
cerned in the character of the
product which is manufactured
and sold by them, just as they are
interested equally in good mar
kets and regularity Of employ
ment. Having worked in coop.

self; it is the failure of the at
tempt to divide to the satisfaction
of each these earnings that gives
rise to the differences between
employers and workmen and
forms the basis of the labor pro-
blem as we have it today.
True, there are many questions
of discord apart from those of
wages and profits, which result
in serious industrial conflicts. but.
followed back to it's source, it will
be found that these issues are in
separately related to those of
wages and profits. In other
words, the demand for a work
day, for healthful, sanitary sur
roundings, has it's origin in the ir-
respressible desire of the working
people for progressive improve
ment in their conditions of life
and labor.-John Mitchell.
