THE REAL FREE T0lLER.
Those Workers Who Belong to the
Union of Their Trade.


Considered as a body, the only free
wage earners today are those who hold
union membership. The rest have as
a class or individually absolutely moth
ing to say in the disposition of the
only commodity they have for sale
labor. 1t Is well enough for the anti
unionist to shout freedom of contract
But is there any freedom Of contract
for the individual? Is it not a fact
that it is the purchaser who sets the
price and that this price is arbitrary,
final, brutal in it's conception, selfish
in It's application? Work made q prize
for the needy, dangled before their
wants, in order that traffic may be
made in misery and a job knocked
down to the lowest bidder.
Is it not better that the wage Garner
through the collective method rather
than that labor should be made the
sport Of the man who can buy? The
cry against the closed shop is raised
because it involves feature Of trade
union policy difficult for the inexpe-
rienced to grasp, analyze and under
stand. Employers believe If the open
shop can be established there will be
speedy end to trade unonsm. Once
open the way for elimination of the
man with price on his labor and his
place will be quickly taken by the man
with labor to sell at any price.
The International Typographical I'M
ion has gone through it all. 1t knows
the value of the closed shop. 1t real
ICES the necessity for collective bar
gaining. AS soon as the reasons I'M
derlying the demand for the union Of
fee are more generally understood the
critics will. without doubt. make their
attacks in another direction. Let the
criticism come. 1t all advertises trade
unionism. And In the meantime we
will continue to organize the printers
and unionize offices.-Typographical

A PLACE OF HONOR.
What History Is Bound to Give to the
Trade Union Movement.

What History Is Bound to Give to the
Trade Union Movement.
Historians writing for future gener-
ations have new and very interesting
chapter to record. Instead of report
ing the different conquests OF one ma
ton over the other, they will have
nice budget to display relative to the
rise from obscurity of the trade un-
ions to a place OF honor, efficiency and
Importance.
The position Of honor must be ac-
corded them from the fact that they
have risen by sheer force of their own
steadfastness OF purpose. allowing
nothing to stop them, overcoming the
many obstacles that were continually
thrown In their way and having in
mind the highest purposes that man
kind can have, that Of uplifting man
kind. terrifying his weakness and in
spring in him the incentive to rise to
the planes of which he is most worthy.
The place of efficiency must be grant
ed because OF the effectual methods
that have been inaugurated In the con
duct Of the stupendous task before
them. which Is spelled in the word
success. In Importance they are the
factor in the industrial world for the
betterment of the social, material. NOR
al and intellectual being OF wage earn
ers and those dependent upon them
and also a potent factor in the promo
ton of peaceable relations between the
employer and employee, thereby giving
to the business world restful cond.
ton that could not obtain with labor
and capital out of agreement with each
other. With proper devotion to their
subject historians will have ample ma
terial to make industrial history more
interesting and elevating than the re
counts of the bloody wars Of conquest

mmissioner Caminetti Heads OFF a
Threatened Invasion.

immigration officials OF the United
States are busy with efforts to frus-
trate the plans Of a secret organization,
with headquarters at Manila, to flood
the Pacific coast states with Hindu
laborers, according to Anthony CANT
netti, commissioner general Of immi-
grafton.
Advices had reached the immigra-
ton service, Mr.. Caminetti said, that
arrangements had been made at Ma
Mia to send East Indians from the
Philippines across the Pacific with Ger.
tiflcates obtained from the insular gov
eminent On the strength of such GER
tificates a party Of five Hindus gained
admission to the United States at San
Francisco. establishing a precedent, he
said, and preparations were made i'm
mediately for sending forward many
laborers in the same way.
The American immigration depart
ment became active as soon as the plan
became known, and the majority of
the Hindus applying for admission at
San Francisco were afterward rejected
as likely to become public charges.
The same treatment met them at other
ports.

y Child Labor In a Tenement.

Marietta was the youngest skilled
worker found by the national child
labor committee in recent inveStiga-
ton of the New York city tenement
home industry. Marietta was too
young to tell what time 1t was. She
couldn't even count the petals of the
artificial flowers she handled. But her
fingers were not too small to put to-
gether the 1920 different pieces it took
for the $40 forgetmenots she made in
a day. Her baby eyes could still see
by the light Of the evening lamp to
put the tiny blossoms together. al
though they could not read the hands
Of the clock pointing to 8.
The pay to Marietta's family for her
days work was cents. Until the
state legislature Of New York passed
drastic laws against it this sort Of
thing was not uncommon in the tene-
ment houses of the nations largest
city. Similar conditions are to be
found in every large city and many
small ones in which prohibitive legis-
lation has not been enacted.

STATE LABOR AGENCIES.
Pennsylvania Plans to Obtain Employ
ment For Workers.

mont For workers.
John Price Jackson, commissioner Of
labor, is planning to establish indus
trial centers in five of the leading cit
les of the state.
According to Mr.. Jackson, much good
could be done for the unemployed if
they were directed to places where
they could obtain employment. He
also believes that many employers are
in constant need Of help and could use
these men If they only knew Of them.
The cities in which he expects to as
tablish these industrial centers or la
Dor agencies are Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, Harrisburg, Altoona and Scran-
ton. A study will be made of the la
Dor conditions in each Of these cities
and in the vicinity. Lists of unem
ployed will be compiled and arrange
ments made whereby manufacturers
will be kept informed of the available
workers
Mr. Jackson is of the opinion that
there is enough work in the state to
keep all workers regularly employed
The reason, he believes, why there are
so many unemployed is because they
do not know where to go to seek en-
ployment. 1t is the duty Of the state
to keep workers in touch with oppor-
tunities that offer themselves. This
will be only one Of the duties Of these
centers
Another duty will be to keep a closer
watch over the sanitary and safe con-
ditions of the mills, factories and
shops in these respective districts.

BOOST THE UNION.

One of the worst sins Of indif-
ference Oh the part OF the aver

neglect to attend the union meet

not attend the meetings loses the
biggest part Of the evolutionary.

Use OF CdlOmel Is
Rapidly Falling Off
Fewer People Nsking Dangerous Drug
Thousands Taking Dodson's Liver Tone
Instead.

The use of calomel, which is a pois-
on and form of mercury, seems to be
decidedly diminishing nowadays. Dod-
sons Liver Tone takes its place so re-
liably in cases of constipation and liver
tro :b1e that Its popularity is spreading
more widely all the time.
.Dodson's Liver Tone is harmless
vegetable-liquid. What calomel does
unpleasantlY-o with danger-for
constipation and sluggish liver, Dod-
sons Liver Tone does for YOU safely
and pleasantly, with no pain and no
grippe. 1t does not interfere in any
way with your regular business, hab-
its or diet.
So successful, so reliable and so pop
ular remedy has its imitators, natur-
ally. But beware of them. You can
easily detect the difference.
Dodson never makes eXtravagant
statements. His Liver Tone has been
made from the first to take the place
of calomel. He says that it "livens the
liver" overcomes constipation agreea-
bly, and make you feel good. If you are
not satisfied completely with Dodson's
Liver Tone, Dickson Drug Store will
hand back the purchase price (50c.l to
