In the first place, the assert

slider that by purchasing early
you get longer wear? This in
itself should be sufficient in
duceemnt to buy now. t.
Though the season is only be-
ginning, White s prices are on
rock bottom. Considering the
additional wear you II get, the
garments are cheaper now than
late in the spring when the spe-
cial sales will be on.
Whether you intend to buy or
not, it won t hurt to look at our
spring suits. We're delighted

INSURANCE COMPANIES
INVEST In HEALTH

About $3,000,000 was spent last
year by fraternal organizations, labor
unions and insurance companies in
special funds for the treatment of
their tuberculOus members and poll
cyholders, according to a statement
issued recently by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis.
Sanatoria for the care of tubercu-
lous members of such organizations
have been established by four fra
ternal orders, The Royal League at
Black Mountain, N. c., the Modern
Weodmen of America at Colorado
Springs, the Independent Order of
Foresters at Rainbow Lake, N. Y,
and the Workmen's Circle at Liber-
ty, N. Y. The Loyal Order of Moose
have voted to erect sanatorium
and the Order of Owls is considering
the project. The Odd Fellows, Elks,
I Knights Of Pythias and Knights of
Columbus have. all voted unfavorably
against national sanatoria but have
in each case made some provision for
the cure of tuberculous members in
already existing Institutions near
their homes.
Among the labor unions, the Print
ers and the Printing Freshmen are
the only two national bodies having
tuberculosis sanatoria, the former at
Colorado Springs, and the latter at
Roersville, Tennessee. Active propa-
ganda against tuberculosis among
their members are also carried on
among the Cigarmakers Union, the
Photo Engravers, and several other
similar groups. In some of the unions
funds are set aside for the care Of
sick members.
Insurance companies are also en-
gagged in a tuberculosis campaign.
The Metropolitan Insurance Com
pany is building sanatorium at Mt
McGregor, N. Y, and is spending
large sums every year in caring for
its sick policyholders. The Equitable,
Prudential, Postal and several others
Of the large companies are carrying
on active educational campaigns
among their policyholdeTs.

THE GENERAL STRIKE.
BY ROBERT HUNTER

The argument is seductive. And
those who come under its hypnotic
influence are impatient of all the te-
dious, worrisome work of organiza-
ton. Here is a panacea that makes
even. labor unnecessary. And, indeed,
the General Strike acts upon its ad-
herents IKE a drug. 1t inflames i'm
agination, hut it paralyzes organiza-
ton.
During theI last fifty years, the La
Dor movement has developed gigantic
organizations of the working class.
approximately 100000 toilers be-
long to Trade Unions and about the
same number of toilers vote for the
Socialist parties. These organizations
involve the well-being of not less
than 100000 men, women and chill.
dren. Alongside of the Unions and
the Party there has also developed
a cooperative movement that owns
property valued at hundreds of mil.
lions of dollars. Labor temples,
houses of the people, schools, col
leges. theaters, printing plants are
rising in multitude of industrial
centers. Thousands of weekly papers
and hundreds of great dailies have
been brought into the world to voice
the aims of labor. Miners, lockers
machinists, and other laborers have
left the pit, the wharf, and the fac
tory to enter the Parliaments of Eu-
rope to fight there the battle of la
Dor. These are the magnificent ac-
complishments of the labor move
ment, yet they seem to impress the
Syndicalist as they impress the An.
archist, as wholly futile and ineffect-
ual. Indeed the Synd&alist and the
Anarchist are almost always found in
opposition to the steady, constructive
and practical work of organization
Imagine for instance the effect
upon actual organization of some OF
the cardinal doctrines Of the Syndi.
calists. They advocate low dues, OF
no dues. They have no use for strike
funds. death funds, sick funds, or in
deed any form of Trade Union in
surance. They believe that large
treasures lead to conservatism, while
no treasures lead to revolutionary
action. They oppose the policies o!
! the Trade Union movement no less
bitterly than the form of Trade I'm
: ion organization. Nor is their criti
cism limited to the economic organi
cations of the working class. They
are opposed no less to all forms Of
parliamentary action. AS the Trade
Union leaders are bound to become
conservatives, so the political leaders
are bound to become reactionaries
The co-operatives also come in fol
their share of blame. Their sole
work, declare the Syndicalists, is tt
make the working class small Cap
italist class, thus helping to perpet
uate the system. And opposed to al
this creative and constructive work
of the modern labor movement, they
place the single battle cry, "The Gen
eral Strike!"- .5
Now, the accomplishments of the
modern Labor movement have no
been the result of accident. The
workers have pursued certain def
mite, well defined paths of agitation
education, and organization. Certain
rules or tactics have governed the &C
ton of the workin class and have
been the means of creating a fairly
extensive solidarity. The end an(
aim of the movement has played it,

Unions To Rescue!

unorganlzed Wage-Workers in All
Industries can Protect
Themselves.
The A: +. of l.. has issued the fol.
lowing circular in all languages
100000 copies:
Wage-earners who are unorganized
know and feel their helplessness to
secure justice from employers. They
have not acted in concert with their
fellow-workmen and their wages have
remained the same or been lowered
because the employer knows that as
individuals they are unable to obtain
more wages or better their working
conditions, and are ALSO unablt tC
even maintain their present low
wages if their employer sees fit tc
reduce them.
Because of your unorganized con
dition you have become the victims
IF low wages, long hours of labor, bad
the fact that the cost of living has in
creased So that the wages paid to you
are not enough to meet your expens
es. You are powerless to protect
yourselves against accidents which
are frequent, against sickness which
comes to you often, against fdleness
because of industrial depression
against the ills with which the work
ers in all industries have at times tt
contend, particularly when unorgan
;zed. These ills can be reduced, OF
entirely removed, when you unite in
unions, and become part of the
American Federation of Labor.
All Of the ills incident to your in
dustry can not be abolished at once
