A CHRISTMAS WORD TO THE NON-UNION MAN

AS individual the workngman is as helpless as
sapling in tempest. He say that he intends to
work for whom he pleases, for as many hours as he
peases, pleases, and he feel that
he has moral right to do so but he has not.
And then again he should know, as he will sooner
later perhaps when it is too late that he must ask
his employer for leave work for what he chooses
to pay, and for many hours he desires.
Organized labor has been able through united action
collective bargaining to shorten the workday, raise
wages and in many ways improve the conditions of the
worker; reductions in the pay it has
made homes better; better cocles
food comforts and has made the shop, the fac
tory and the mine a better place in which to work.
Organized labor has been the fighting force state
legislatures and in Congress not only for labor
all men, it has compelled the passage of laws pro-
the health of the workers; to take children from
the mill and the factory and place them in school;
limit the hours of labor for and fix their wages
above living to prevent the loss of lives and
limbs, compel payment for injuries to body Of
health. 1t has done these and more than can
enumerate here.
not only raises the status Of the union his
family, but of the non-union and his family as
we'll. And the other hand when a non-union man
takes another workers place and brushes the union
lowers the status of all workingmen, non-union and
union, who share the degradation of all labor
In view of all this ordinary sense should
tell workman that his place is in the union.
owes it to his family to his fellow workers him
self to join Why not all workingmen the
sity of organization? 1t is selfish non-union
to permit others do the fighting while they reap
the rewards Don't be camp follower; be soldier
on the fighting line. 1t is where you belong.

Takes Snap Judgment. /
The United States senator's are fair
minded men, they considered both
sides of the question, and they voted
in accordance with their convictions,
after the bill had been discussed in
sessions OF congress for the past 20
years. They did not take snap judy
ment. They listened; they studied and
they finally acted properly. Surely
the measure was entitled to a SEM
blance Of analysis from at least two
sides before the Public Affairs COM
mittee of the Duluth Commercial club
would be warranted in condemning it.
The Labor World charges that
there is an absolute disregard for life
Through dangerously inefficient crews
and inefficient life boat equipment of
passenger steamers on, the Great
Lakes. The claim is made that too
many able seamen are required by
the bill. The vessel owners say that
they would not know what to do with
SO many men. - .
Dollars Against Men,
We have lot Of firemen employed
by our city, more than we need when
there are no fires, but we frequently
find ourselves mighty short of fire
men when they are needed most. Just
so with a storm at sea: The time
when able seamen are needed most,
when human life is in danger, they
are not there Ard If they were, with
a sufficient number of life boats, hui
man lives would be saved. That is all
there is to It.: - -
It is, dollars again men. The Com
| nnercial club Committee. chose the dol
lar side OF it. Its members ought to
be ashamed of themselves. We want
every workingman in Duluth, and
every friend of workingmen, and ev-
cry advocate of safety first to pay
strict attention to Congressman Mil
| ler's vote on: this question. It is up
to him: He must choose between

The Commercial club, at least the
Public Affairs committee of the club,
and that is pretty nearly the whole
works, has done it.>again. 1t is said
that a burnt child never plays with
the fire." but this does not apply to
business organizations. They soon
forget when dollars and profits are
involved,
Six years ago the Public Affairs
committee of the Commercial club
declared against union labor and for
the so-called open shop" and it did
so without giving the, workingmen a
chance to be heard. The club never
got over the quiet but singing pub
lie rebuke it received for assaulting
organized labor in 1907.

big committee has made the same
crucial mistake again.

It has listened to- the cry of dollars,
and it forgot entirely to heed the de-
mands of men, workingmen who go
down into the lake. every year, and
without whom not a. ship could sail
on the Great Lakes. The Public At
fairs committee has protested against
the salient features of the Seamen's
bill, and Congressman Miller has
been urged to vote against it, and the
protest is made upon the mere say SO
Of a bunch Of money-mad vessel rep

Why did not the Public Affairs

LABOR ON CITY OWNED STREET CARS.

The Labor World believes the municipal ownership
of our street railway system would be blessing to the
city and benefit to the working classes Every city
that has tried municipal ownership unless it was gold
brcked in purchasing delapidated wornout plant is
pleased with its investment from both social and bus
mess standpoint.
The municipal ownership of street railways in San
Francisco is proving profitable undertaking more
ways than one.
Everyone, of course, is that under public own
ersh1p the service almost invariably improved and
rates reduced. The public benefits from the saving
made by eliminating the element of private profit
The public, however, Is not alone in profting from
the eliminating of private profit The men who are do
ing the work benefit under public ownership There
are very few salaries for high paid officials but there
are higher and shorter working hours for the
men who keep the machinery moving
The San Francisco Bulletin, in commenting on the
recent acquisition of street railway line by the
city, recited
lone feature of the taking by the city of the
Preside & Ferris street railway will be forcibv i'm
pressed the employees Of ne and ought to he
impressed citizen Francisco That is
that wages will rise at from 1910 day to So a
day. and that the working day will be reduced at
from 10 hours a day to hours a day. This Immediate
result of municipal ownership ought to be gratifying tn
everybody Men who are being maid someuhare e 20
what they earn will render safer and more cheerful
service than underpaid and overworked employees
'There should be attempt on municipal line to
accumulate surplus other than the marginal amount
necessary to take of depreciation as
sinking fund. Better better service and lower
1res are the light ways of profit sharing The posi-
b1ty OF them IN fact Is the best for municipal
ownership"
