The MAJORITY knew all this, and has said it many

Now we will spring another prophecy which a great

and will be paid for in government bonds running about
twice long they should and bearing interest at twice

+ THE MOST IMPORTANT question before the work
Of Wheeling today is organization The unorganize
must be organized. Filtration, parks, Fairgrounds
workmen compensation important as these things are
they are of less Importance than organization for they
will all follow organization.
The already organized must learn this They must
realize that the organization of their own craft de-
slrabe that is will not entirely protect them In the
last analysis their strength rests upon the ability of their
organization to effect strike and the of the strike
rests upon their ability to keep other workers from taking
their places No union is strong enough to keep the
places Of their members from being filed In every case
they depend upon the help Of all other organizations
IN this Consequently follows that the strength of each
union increases in exact proportion the number of Other
unions grow Each craft industry is strengthened lie
its organization other crafts or industries are organ
zed.
And all things rest upon organization Every i'm
proyemen that will in to the lives of the workers
must be forced in by the developing power of the workers.
Nothing will be handed them upon silver platter They
must fight as hard they know how for every step for
ward they will advance. And the only way to fight is in
Autographed way.
Therefore it is the duty of every union member in
Wheeling to that his fellow workers of all crafts and
calings become his fellow unonsts By helping them he

Legislation directly affecting child
labor was enacted in thirty-one states.
Shorter hours, higher minimum wage

that the workers could be fooled thus year after year

greater profits for themselves And they should have

Both manufacturers and merchants have for the most
part followed where Big Business led They have been
satisfied with what drpped through from the fat hands

The only solution of the gas question of all other
