HUMAN CONSERVATION.
Organized Labor Supports All Move
ments to Better Mankind.

Organized Labor Supports All Move
ments to Better Mankind.
Those people who have done the
work of the world have long been fore
ed to bear the suffering and expense
entailed by accidents or sickness which
resulted from their occupations. As
concepts of humanity and social re-
sponsibility have widened and deep
ened, the conviction has laid hold Of
the consciences of the people that so
ciety, which gains by the work of
these people, must bear it's RESPONSE
bility for the waste and loss of human
energy. Labor IS the creative force In
the worlds development and progress
"a force that must be safeguarded
lest loss or waste of it hamper the pro
ductive, constructive power of the ma
ton 1t is well, then, that society con-
tinue to take much thought for the
safety of life and limb of all the work
erS.
Labor is not only in sympathy with
but will support all movements for the
conservation and betterment of human
ity. In fact, compelling sense of re-
sponsibility for human conservation
and the desire to protect individual in
terests are among the causes for or
ganization among the workers. In la
boris economic platform are demands
for shorter working day and living
wage-two conditions absolutely essen
tial to physical well being. Organized
labor insists upon safety, sanitation,
compulsory education and many prac-
teal educational developments and adj
vantages which aid the individual to
reach the fullest development We
would have the children develop sound
bodies and strong, healthy minds,
would fit them for productive living
and would enable them to do the best
work of which they are capable and
then assure to them a just compensa-
tion.-American Federationist.

WHAT UNIONS HAVE DONE.

The next time some one asks
you, what have your unions
done?" don't pity his ignorance,
but take this uniformed gen
tleman in hand and open up his
mind to the greatest force of
good the worlds workers have
ever known.
Show him how labor unions
spend their dollars to secure la
Dor laws that benefit union and
nOnunion alike Show him how
unions were the first to take up
the fight for direct legislation
against child labor and scores of
other reforms.
And more than all these com
bined, show him the effect of
unionism Oh the character of
man-hOw it develops independ-
ence and manhood, how it
equips man to assert himself in
stead of standing cowed and
servile. with cap in hand, before
his employer. Labor World.

The world casts its burden on labor
And most of it's sorrows and care.
The heavy and terrible crosses
Are all for the toiler to bear.
But in spite of trouble and worry
That shut out the sunshine today
There's promise of brightness tomorrow.
Some gladness to tighten the way.
Unfavorable are the conditions,
And tumults and conflicts abound,
But the organization gives promise
That some better way may be found;
That union Of labor learns wisdom
And testing its strength as it should
Shall combine with worldwide endeavor
To overcome evil with good
But there's promise still for Improvement.
And courage must win I'm the fight
Where the battle with wrong is raging
There's victory promised for right.
And friends. we believe I'm that promise
That boosts man out Of despair
And gives him the strength that protects
him
From the greed that has placed him
there

TRADE UNIONISM.

The trade union is the one
practical means by which the
mass of workers can be reached
and educated. 1t recognizes the
great truth that the average man
is not Il genius and cannot hope
to live on rents, profits or inter
est. 1t legiSlates for the mass
and not for the two or three
smart individuals who do not
need any help 1t does not mock
the struggling millions by the de-
lusive consolation that there is
plenty of room mt the top If
every one could get to the top
then there would be no top; so
as social consolation this hack
neyed precept is worthless.
The trade union does not say
to the worker, BE smart and
some day you'll be a capitalist"
1t aims TO elevate the mechanic
as mechanic, and the carpenter
as Il carpenter, and the weaver
as a weaver. etc. 1t is the only
protection which the average
many have against the Oppres-
sions Of the exceptional few. Its
aim is to level up the low places
in our civilization, not to add to
the height of the mountains that
are already far too high for any
useful purpose. THUS in its work
the union elevates the whole in
dustrial structure. Herbert Cas-
son.

ton is defective. 1t proceeds on the principle
OF Observation-Disclosures all human minds and
inclinations are similar. and that they will
respond similarly to the same influences max
ing, theoretically, for development
Unfortunately for the hypothesis, each
human mind is unit to itself. often as wide
ly separated from those around it as the poles
are far apart. The academic education that
may mold the mind of one boy girl in a
proper and productive direction. may warp
or dstort the mind of another and ruin the
chances Of whole career
Manifestly, we need to learn and impress
the differences between a Job and vocation.
The direct cause for such large percentage
of failures In life is lack OF special training
The man or the woman goes forth with no
definite aim. save to earn bread Ambition

After all, do we not need to strengthen
teaching at it's moral source. to instill into
the youthful mind self-contro ambition, the
desire to excel legitimately, to acquire and to
conquer obstacles? When we do that, we
shall not perhaps find altogether substitute
for vocational training. But we shall
quicken the faculties of the individual we are
striving to reach. and that done. the indi-
vidual may be depended upon to search out
