The Labor Bulletin editor had a
dream last night. There was an
awful augmentation fight. Every
union labor man sought to sub
scribe, but there were some card
men who would not abide. Then
a motion was made, that could not
be delayed, calling for direct vote
that would surely denote a purpose
to devote, some money and time
to promote a paper of high plane
that does not defame, and bazes
the way for fair pay day. Soon
a vote was announced, the decision
pronounced, everybody Willingly
consented for paper that was con-
tented to print the news minus per-
sonal views of the down-and-outs
or the grating touts. All agreed
it was only due that they prove
themselves really true. Let us
hope the dream comes true.

LABOR DAY WISDOM

Every industrial center OF the
United States at this time of year be-
gins preparations for the celebration
of labor's great holiday, the first
Monday in September. Organized
labor IN Denver, through a joint COM
mittee representing the Trades and
Labor Assembly and the Building
Trades Council, has already under
way plans for comprehensive Labor
day program. OF recent years some
organizations have taken scant inter
est in this annual celebration. 1t IS
well at this time to read what Presi
dent Samuel Gompers of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor has to say
on the, subject of Labor day obsery-
ance:
Before any central labor union de-
cides upon giving up the now gener
ally accepted features of Labor day
demonstration, including the parade,
meetings and addresses, let its dele
gates discuss what would happen if
these observances should be aban-
doned for single year in all the cit
les of the country.
Opponents would declare that the
labor movement had collapsed, non
unionists would no longer on labor's
own day be made to feel the reproach
of their own absence from among the
defenders of their rights, the press
would remain silent where it now is
a helpful vehicle for the cause Of
unionism, and much of the opportuni
ty and occasion for our propaganda
of unionism would be lost"

Glass Workers Prosper.

The season just closing in the flint

the volume of business done can be

joyed good seasons work. The per-
centage of idle men has been less the
past season than has been for a great
number of years. 1t is true that the
first six months of the season, begin
ming July, 1912, things looked very un-
certain in nearly all department, with
the single exception of the cutting,
which during those months was in a
very flourishing condition. After the

Why Workers Organize.

Proficiency gives the happiness OF
achievement in work well done, but
we do not work merely because we
love it. We want some of the good
things we see others enjoy. We want
good things to eat, good things to
wear and other recreation besides
riding to and from work six days q
week. We want to look prosperous
and not wait till we die before others
notice that we ever lived. We want
to enjoy the society of our kind and
realize the joy Of being real live, ac-
tive unit in the great social structure
of our generation. We want pretty
homes and want to provide them
with all the little things that make
for comfort and add SO much to the
sum total of human happiness. We
want to start our children with nat
ural surroundings and rear them to
healthy maturity. We want them to
look as neat and sweet as other chill
dren and have all the advantages of
education and training which other
mems children receive-Duluth Labor
