BertOn Bradley's Poem
INDIVIDUALITY

=You can't be Shelley or Keats or
Burns,
Or Caesar or Edmund Kean;
They had their chance, and they did
their turns,
And now they are gone, ween,
And why should you copy each august
shade
Who lies on a graveyard shelf;
HE didn't copy; his fame was made
By being his own true self!
You can't be Kipling or Roosevelt
Or Wilson or Bryan, too,
But you can known, and you can be
felt
By being yourself all through;
No man grows big when he initiates,
For that is the way to fail;
The fellow who wins from the frowning
fates
Must mark out his own clear trail
You may not reach to the heights of
fame,
For few can climb so high,
But at least you can play in the lively
game
Whenever you want to try;
You may not get to the top at all
Nor capture renown or pelf,
But, win or lose, or rise or fall,
At least you can be yourself!

Washington, July 16.-The settle
ment of differences between the
BroEHeHhood of Carpenters and the
Irving E& Casson Co., with headquar-
tiers in Boston, illustrates the power
Of unity in the efforts of workers to
maintain living standards. On this
settlement, Secretary Duffy, of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters, writes as
follows to Secretary harrison, of the
A. F. of L.:
''The settlemen is a signal victory
for the members of our organization,
and isfhe elimination Of a fight which
has TASTED for the last eight years,
during which time hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars have been expended
in state and federal colrts proceed
ings, strike benefits and other. inciden-
tails. Eight years ago the Irving &
Casson company refused to grant I'M
ion conditions and pay union wages
to the men on their various jobs
throughout the countrYS and as a re
suit our members struck and refus-
ed to handle the interior trim manu-
factured by the company. The fight
brought on state and federal injunc-
lions in the lower courts, which we
Carried to higher tribunals on appeal.
9hese cases have been costly pgeResi-
'tions, and might have been co1k ed
indefinitely had a settlement not beeS
reached. However, it is more than
likely that the injuhctions now in
force against the United Brotherhood
will be vacated.
''The agreement reached provides
for a strictly union shop and union
wages, and effects carpenters, wood
carvers, cabinet makers, hardwood fin
.ishers, upholsters and @ainters. In

Philadelphia, July 16.-Flecking the

Kelley, secretary of the Women's Gar

the Federal Commission pm Industrial

ers' strike in this city was caused, as
he says, "by lot of organizers who
came over from New oYrk and told
the garment workers that they were
worse off than slaves" The grievan-

much of the trouble for the present
unrest is caused by laws passed as

ECHO OF DISASTER

Washington, July 16.-Charges have
been preferred against Capt Edward
E. johnson, master of the Old Domin-
ion steamer Monroe, which was sunk
January 30, off the Virginia coast in
a collision with the seamer Nantuck-
e. By the sinking of the Monroe
about forty persons lost their lives,
and an investigation of the accident
was made, ON charges preferred by
the inspectors at Norfolk, by the in
spection board at Philadelphia. It
could not reach an agreement, and the
case was transferred to New York,
and resulted in Capt, Osman Berry,
of the Nantucket. being found respon-
sible Following this finding hs licen-

them, then the Commission ought not

erage wage for 1913 was 81 for 100
pounds. Therefore, as Prof Parker
says, the bonus" was in reality a
'fhold back" acting as whip to hold
|discontended workers in line. But
such were the conditions of, work and
the filth of the DuEst camp that the
estimates Mr.. DArest realized $1OO to
$3.50 a day from forfeited bonuses"
The official investigation found the
sanitary conditions of the camp hor-
rible. Practically no provisions were
made for sleeping accommodations.
burst donated a few old tents, and
rented others to the workers at sew
enty-fiye cents a night Business"
according to bursts standards. The
workers, many of whom had come dis
tances on foot, slept on strow-blakets
were luxury.
The most vicious sanitary abuse was
that of the toilets. There were eight
for -2400 hundred people. The frightful
conditions resulted in dysentery which
multiplied the dangers from the
abuses. Flies swarmed and multiplied.
Typhoid DEVELOPED. Failure to make
any revision for garbage disposal in
creased disgusting conditions.
In the hop fields there were practices
that were the very quintessence of
crueltybut they added to the profits of
burst. Hop fields are hot. Last sum-
mer the temperature rose to 1872 de-
grees. The wells in the fields did not
furnish sufficient water. The wells at
the ranch buildings were one mile dis
tant from the hop fields. The workers
were doing piece work. burst stated
that although hop picking regan on
Thursday or Friday he did not send
water wagons to the fields until the
following Monday-he did not say why.
The hop pickers began work at 4
O'Clock. By noon the vertical rays of
the sun had parched them. The wells
had been pumped dry. There were
men, women. and children suffering
children from to 10 years of age. At
noon the stew wagon came. Those who
purchased stew obtained glass of wa
tr. burst testified that he profited by
this arrangement. He testified that he
did not permit the town stores to de-
liver goods on the ranch. His cousin
bought a lemonade concession. He
sold lemonade at 5 cents glass. The
lemonade was made of citric acid.

State laws should require reporting
of diesaes in labor unions. Provision
should be made for locating the origin
of such diseases and for prevention.
Sanitary regulations for proper hous-
ing, hospital and medical attention.
These standards should be enforced
by official workers ndsby the demands
of the workers themselves. Camps can
be made perfectly sanitary as even the
temporary one-night camps of an army
demonstrate. ~
K The menace that labor camps consti-
.tute, not only to the workers in the,
caI1ps- but to the members of the So
ciety tol>whem the infections OF the
camp are Carried was presented to
the representatives Of organized labor
at the Toronto convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in a resolu-
ton by Delegate D'Allessandro. The
resolution provided for an>effort to Sc
cure federal legislation and regulations
to protect these workers, and for SINH
lar action by state legislatures. A bill
for this purpose. was introduced in
Congress, but was not enacted into
law Several state legislatures have
considered propositions to protect the
Workers in labor camps, but little has
yet Aeen accomplished.
Meanwhile the number of the labor
camps and the danger from them has
constantly increased. Although the
organization of these casual, migratory
workers presents many difficulties, it
is the only sure method of protecting
them and society Only intelligent self
help vii lenable the laborers to secure
fair treatment for themselves, though
governmental regulation is necessary
to Safeguard society Both purposes
should be urged to immediate fruition.
In these forts it is not onl ythe duty
but the pleasure of organized labor to
render every aid within it's power.
