First UNION MAN n, |
n,vnn vi u III ~--S4 sSus
SENT TO CONGRESS
When About to Take His Seat q
Movement Was Started to
Prevent His Qualifying.

In the Sixty-third congress the
trade unions of America are repre-
sented by seventeen members. This
result has been the outcome of the
policy inaugurated by the American
Federation Of Labor during the past
three congressional campaigns. Prior
to the time mentioned men with paid
up union cards in their pockets in
congress were conspicuous by their
absence, although there were union
men members of congress prior to
1906.
The election of the first union man
to congress, however, occurred a
great many years ago-in 1884, in
fact. Ely Moore, journeyman
printer, was elected to the Twenty
fourth congress and reelected to the
Twenty-tifth from New York city. He
was a member of what was then
known as the Typographical Associa-
ton of New York, organized June II,
1881. Moore also was editor Of a
labor paper, but data are not avail
able as to it's title:,
The brief biography of this early
congressman contains the facts that
he was born in New jersey and died
in Kansas and that during the active
years Of his life he was a labor
agitator and organizer of trade unions.
Apropos of this subject, Senator Ash
hurst of Arizona, while discussing the
recall Of judges, wove into his address
reference to Ely Moore, likewise
| paying tribute to the valor and high
character of the men who laid the
foundation for collective action among
workmen. That part Of Senator Ash
bursts speech referred to is as fol-
| lows:
When Ely Moore, the first men,
Der of labor union to be elected
to the congress of the United States,
was about to take his seat in the
Twenty-fourth congress there was a
movement set on foot to try to pre-
vent his being seated.
"Contumely, scorn and derision
were heaped upon him by the reac-
tionaries of that day, who believed
that the liberties of the republic were
in danger because a member Of a.
labor union had been elected to con-
gress. But the stubborn courage of
Ely Moore, his superlative eloquence,
ing analysis convinced the nation that
| no mistake had been made in send
| ing a member of a labor union to
congress, and so strikingly did this
| journeyman printer, this organizer of
| labor unions, this so called 'agitator'
and 'demagogue' distinguish himself
for patriotism, learning and ability
that he became a confidential adviser
Of the administration Of President
James K. Polk.
II mention these circumstances so
that those who are supporting this
contest in behalf of a larger human
liberty will not become discouraged,
but will become encouraged when
they reflect how much more intensely
heated was the opposition to these
reforms in the days gone by. He is
wasting his time who believes he can
stop or stay these forward movements
in their progress. The movement, es-
pecially in behalf of those who per-
form physical labor, for a greater
share of freedom, for the right to
enjoy a part of the creation Of their
hands and of their own toll. will in
evita bly, live, for it is as broad based
as the world itself and as deep as

 Success of Meeting.
 The success of the organization meeting is shown by the number of

In all over four hundred either paid in their fee or pledged themselves to do so, making 2 working body of over two thirds of the school And With the spirit that all the mem bers showed there will be none lacking at the games and other activities of the school this year. The privileges of the association and the benefits to the members are many. but the three principal ones argued to the men and women of the school were that mem hership entities the owner to use of the grounds and equipment: membership makes one eligible to twenty-five cent regular fifty-cent far is charged. and to free admission to all class games, as was announced by the sign on the roster of the assembly.
 The meeting was a success-it was a bowling success. for it fixed the spirit in the members of P. |. H. <. and made them a firmly organized boosters club. It showed the public that the school is in earnest; 1t showed just how much in earnest the students are-that they are enough in earnest to work their heads off for the of their athletic seasons. And it bound the members of the school just so much closer in their re- lations to one another, insuring bigger. better men and women on the honor roll of Phoenix Union High School.

"Bucky' pleaded for more spirit, more concerted action on the part of the students as a body, more support for the actions of the school and he predicted victory for the school in all it attempts this year with but one exception This excep- tion was when he advertised the abili- ties of the alumni as winners of the big game"
 Prof. Ed Turner, director of the manual training department gave a boost to spirit in the shape of advis- ing every one to uncOrll the pep bottle and let the stuff effervesce.

 The Girls Enthusiasm.
 Perhaps the best speech of the day Was that of Miss Bernice ShackIeford who earnestly told the fellows that the girls were with them on the football field, and in all their activities Miss Shackleford argued the principles of Womans rights and carried the princi- pleS far enough to challenge the fel- lows to a game of baseball in the spring, and the brand of booster spirit that she showed was the kind that
