CORROBORATION
Of Interest to Argus Readers.

For months Rock Island citizens
have seen in these columns enthusi-
asticsp praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by
Rock Island residents. Would these
prominent people remommend a rem
edy that had not proven reliable?
Would they confirm their statements
after years had elapsed if personal ex-
perience had not shown the remedy
to be worthy of endorsement? The
following statement should carry con-
viction to the mind of every Argus
reader.

man" organization. This idea has be-
come so pronounced that many trade
unionists say they have absented
themselves from meetings for months.
Inexperienced leaders in the trade
union movement are causing concern
because of their apparent anxiety to
get involved in strikes. George W.
Perkins of the Cigarmakers' Interna-
tional union has this to say about
them in the last journal of the cigar
makers.
THE inexperienced leaders in the
trades union movement are cropping
In the dark. They are like a ship
without a rudder floating on the high
seas; their plans change as quickly
as the tide, rising and receding in
quick succession. Building castles In
the air and dreaming of success when
failure cannot be avoided, they move
forward to destruction, when cautious
retreat could save the organization
from ignominous defeat"
In addition to this criticism of in
experienced labor leaders, President
Perkins says: "The most disastrous
defeats in the trades union movement
were due to premature and ill-advised
strikes; to a lack of discipline and va
cillating leadership. to poor financial
resources and inability to pay bene-
fits; to an undertaking of the strength
and financial resources of the oppos-
ing forces; and last, but not least, to
buster, loud talk and personal abuse
of the employers"

President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor has Civ
en- a definition of a trade unionist in
the American Federationist for Janu-
airy. 1t is:
Wage workers, members in good
standing of the union of the trade or
calling at which they are employed,
who tealize as a fundamental princi-
pie the necessity of unity of all their
fellows employed at the same trade or
calling; who recognize the vital, log
ical extension, growth and develop
ment of all unions of all trades and
cailiigs, and who strive for the unity,
federation, cooperation, fraternity and
solidarity of all organized wage earn
ers; who can and do subordinate self
for the common good and always
strive for the common uplift; who de-
cline to limit the sphere of their &C
tivity TO any dogma, doctrine or ism:
Finally, those organized wage work
ers who fearlessly and insistently
maiatain and contend that the trade
unions, the trade union movement,
are paramount to any other form of
organization or movement of labor in
the world"
This definition was originally given
in an impromptu speech before the
convention of the cigarmakers in Bal.

During the year 1912 the organized
street car men of Chicago distributed
$4,000 in death and disability bene-
fits. There were 119 deaths among
the 1900 car men and five were dis
abled permanently. The international
union pays benefits of from 500 to
$500, according to the number of years
the deceased has been in the union.
The local unions add to this from 800
to 5000. There were SO deaths of car
men on the north and west sides, 20
on the south side and 81 on the elevat-
ed lines. Besides the money given in
death and disability benefits it is es-
timated that $4,000 is raised every
year by voluntary contributions to
aid sick members or their families.
Beginning Jan. l a report Of ali these
voluntary collections will be kept in
order to have a basis upon which to
work in forming a sick benefit asso-
citation that will do away with the col
lections. In collecting money for
sick car men the hat is passed around
at meetings of the car men, while
they are at work and even az their
homes. 1t is believed by the leaders
of the car men that with $4,000
more benefit can be secured if it is
distributed by the organization.
