LABOR UNION MAN OCCUPIES
PULPIT OF SEATTLE CHURCH
TELLS MEMBERS WHAT THEY CAN
DO TO HELP wORKINGMAN
Should Pay More Attention to Men and
Women While Alive and Less as to
Their Disposition After Death.

On Labor Sunday President T. II. Boil
ton of the Seattle Central Labor Coun-
ell addressed the congregation OF Ply
mouth Congregational Church on What
Can the Church Do to Help the Working
man. There was fairly large and in
terested audience present, says the
Seattle Union Record, to see and hear
a workingman express his opinion of
the church and they were not disap-
pointed.
Bolton told them with his we'll known
directness that they should pay more at
tention to men aand women while they
are still alive and less attention to what
is to become of them after death. He
called their attention to their social
creed, taking the one clause proclaim
ing their stand for Industrial justice, -
and showing the only way in which in
dustrial justice could be secured was
through the organization of the workers,
and that the only steps being taken now
to secure industrial justice were by the
organized workers. Bolton pointed out
that all the social legislation which had
been passed in the past half century is
due almost solely to the efforts OF the
organized workers, and stated that if
the church was sincere in its efforts to
secure industrial justice and to do
something for the workingman and
woman it must support the organized
workers in their efforts.
The church people seemed to take
kindly to the suggestions of Bro. Boil
ton, many of them congratulating him
on his directness and plain speech and
assuring him of their cooperation.
The message OF labor has in this way
reached few ears it would not have
otherwise touched. and the cause will
be the gamer by a more sympathetic
attitude on the part OF those who in
the past have many times been only
too ready to line up against us.

Strictly Proietarian

The Berlin correspondent of Chica-

troops going to the front, says naiVely
that he was struck by the fact that
il was strictly a proletarian crowd =
Then he adds the comment. simple but
pathetic in its grim truth: 1t Is the
common people who suffer"
Sadly true. The war lords and the
ezars and the field marshals and the
general staffs may be able to plan
brilliant campaigns of strategy. but the
best of them could not make war with
out the proletarian crowd. Vast armies
cannot be built up without drawing on
the bone and muscle and hardy physique
OF the proletarian-ihe common man. He
may not figure much, if any, in the af-
fairs OF his country in time OF peace,
except as the Garner of the money that
goes to fill those gigantic war chests

None of these proletarian crowds has
a word TO say about this war. They

causes, but the chances are they didn't
They may have been eager for the fray.
but that must be settled by what they
say when il is all over. We shall find

countries.
And the world will be surprised if it
is not told that If these proletarian
trainloads that attracted the eve of this
correspondent do not tell in decisive
words that they didn't want any war

WAR GROWS SHORT AND DEADLY.
Railway Transportation and Machine
Guns Bring Quick Results.

The Franco German war was declared
by Napoleon III on July Il, 1870; the
treaty of peace was signed at Frankfort
on MAY 10. ISL. The Russo-Japanese
war began with the breaking off OF
diplomatic negotiations on February 5,
1904. and the treaty Of Portsmouth was
signed on August %, 1905. These are
the only wars of the first class since
armaments and weapons took on their
modern formidable aspects.
Most of the minor wars since ISL.
like the RussoTurkish in lST7-1s and
the recent Chino-Japanese, Boer. Turco-
Italian and Balkan wars, have likewise
been of brief duration But in the ma
ture of things wars of the first magni-
tude can no longer be strung out over
long periods like that of the American
Revolution. the American Civil War.
Germany's 3o-year war. or the Napoleon
ic wars.
The development of railway systems
permitting rapid movements of great
armies and the invention of higher eN-
plosives. heavier guns and deadlier rifles
have combined to concentrate great cam
paigns into single battles, fought along
fronts of hundreds of miles. The battles
are heightened by this process. as those
OF Shaho and Mukden proved, but they
become more quickly decisive.

EIGHTH GRADE. SCHOOL GIRL
WRITES PRIZE LABOR ESSAY
INTERESTING FEATURE OF LABOR
DAY CELEBRATION IN FRISCO.
School Children Submit Over Thousand
Papers on Labor Union as Factor
in Development of National Life"

One of the best features OF the La
bor Day celebration in San Francisco
was the awarding of prizes to public and
paroachial school pupils for the best
papers on Labor Union as Factor IN
the Development of National Life
Great interest was. taken by the school
Children and several thousand essays
were considered by the contest commit
tee, composed of teachers. Miss Har-
riet Riesener, an eighth grade pupil,
won first prize with the following es-
say:
influenced the national life more than
organized labor.
aLaborers in the different trades re-
allied that it would be to their advan-
tage to combine all the men working at
the same trade into a union In this
way, and in this way only, they woulo
be able to force the employer to pay
higher wages and lessen the working
hours, thereby giving the men time for
rest and recreation. By earning more
wages they, of course. would be able to
enjoy a higher standard OF living and in
this way benefit the business men and
the producer, SO that the whole nation
is benefited by the higher wages which
the laboring man receives.
There Is also another view Dy winch
the whole nation profits, and that is by
the shorter working days. The laboring
classes, having more time to themselves,
will occupy the spare hours in educat-
ing themselves by reading good books
or listening TO good music, and SO bring
themselves to higher standard of civ
ilization, which, naturally has its bene-
fetal influence on the whole national
life.
by organizing in trade unions the
laboring man learns by practice to de-
bate questions which arise in his trade,
and he also learns that he must abide
by majority rule. This, too, is very
beneficial for the whole national life, as
this man will take larger and greater
interest in public questions and politics
as a whole. By electing officers in their
unions they have learned to exercise a
greater care when looking for informa-
ton about man before they vote fol
him. This habit they also exercise when
they vote for public officers, as the
mayor governor congressman, senators
and the President of the United States
BY this we see the trade union Is q
great school for the laboring men tc
make better publie-spirited men of them
This, too. cannot fail to benefit the
whole nation

SHOUT YOUR GOOD DEEDS

LENNON HAS WORDS OF PRAISE
FOR THE RAILROAD BOYS.
Tells Seattle Central Body Lack of Co.
operation More Harmful than Assaults
from Employers Associations

"We have had every theory from the
time of Buddha down presented to us as
remedies for the evils of the present in
dustrial system, but it has been proved
that it has been the trade unionists who
have made the greatest improvement in
the condition of the wagearner, for they
have placed the human side foremost in
the struggle for the betterment of Ia
bor,- said John B. Lennon, treasurer of
the American Federation OF Labor, in an
address to the Seattle (Wash.) Central
Labor Union while a guest of that body,
with his colleague on the Industrial re-
lations commission, Vice President
O'Connell of the American Federation of
Labor
Treasurer Lennon urged solidarity
among workers and declared that our
refusal to cooperate with each other
has harmed us more than all the efforts
of employers organizations. The speaker
paid high tribute to the railroad
brotherhoods because OF better knowl-
edge of these institutions, through as
sociation with President Garretson of
the Order of Railway Conductors, who,
also is a member of the commission
"If anyone tells you that the railroad
men stand for the so-called open shop,
said Lennon, you can safely tell that
man he is speaking an untruth. They
are just as strong for the union shop as
we are, and that is the reason they are
now 90 per cent organized. There is no
such thing as individual bargaining
among them and both wages and griev-
ances must be taken up and are taken
only through the union"
Vice President O'Connell urged union
lists to note the gains made by their
movement and treat less seriously the
wild claims and exaggerated statements
of small groups that continually advo-
cate other doctrines and new panaceas
The great trouble with organized Ia
bor," said the speaker, is that it com
plains too much of the things it has
failed to do and neglects TO shout from
the housetops the things that it has
done II we advertised our success the
progress of organized labor would be
something unparalleled. Bear that in
