A LIVE PAPER
FOR LIVE CAUSE

The Idaho Labor Herald will en-
deavor to fill its chosen field in
manner worthy of its cause. The pa
per in the past has been handicapped
in many ways, but has weathered the
stress and storms and is now ready to
take its proper place as the public
mouthpiece of the organized working
men and women of Boise, in partic-
ular, and of all Idaho in general.
We have found the business firms
Of Boise almost without exception
friendly to the cause of union labor
and generous in their patronage of
our advertising columns, and with the
Herald improved and more largely de-
voted to matters OF local concern, we
can count upon an ever increasing
patronage by Boise business men,
which, in turn would enable us to
continue to improve the publication
and make it more responsive to the
needs, the aims and aspirations OF the
organized labor forces Of the COM
munity
What we need and all that we now
asks the earnest cooperation of
our local unions. We desire especially
news of the labor world OF Boise coll
lectively and individually. Live, snap
py local notes that will make the
paper Of vital interest to every union
worker in the city.
We pledge our best efforts to make
the paper all that it should be, and
with the cooperation of our fellow
workers can go far to making it come
up to our ideal-a live paper for a
live people interested in live cause.

WOULD SHARE
THE PROFITS

That profit sharing is correct
economic theory as between employer
and employe, and that many of the
demands of the enginemen of % vest
ern roads, which are being arbitrated
here, are based on that theory, was
stated on the witness stand recently,
by William S. Carter, president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen.
Carter's declaration came in the
course of cross-examination by James
NJ. Sheean, attorney for the railroads.
The requests of the men for higher
wages are in the main based on the
allegation of the increased productive
efficiency of the railroads. Larger To-
comotives over lighter grades haul a
larger tonnage. and the men claim a
share OF the money saved by these
economies.
Sheean developed through the wit
ness that the pay received by hremen
who shovel coal into an engines FIRE
box, should also be allowed to firemen
who merely have to turn on the oil in
locomotive using that fuel Their de-
mands also include and that the fire.
men, formerly engaged in shoveling
coal, should receive undiminished pay
if transferred to ain electric motor
where his work would be much lighter
These points were brought out by
Sheean in contrast to testimony show
ing that on the ordinary steam rail-
road the work of enginemen has been
greatly increased by increase weight
of engines and variety of attendant
conditions.

dent Gompers said:
Ours is a great. rough struggle, as
is ever a mass movement for humani-
tartan purpose aud for justice We do
not meet-the fact Of our numbers for
bids the thought that we could meet
behind closed doors. with two or three
or four determining great problems for

numbers. and the very fact that Our
numbers are large precludes the posi-
bility Of our hiding anything we do or
undertake to DO.
Incidental to the ennobIing purposes
and the great achievements In the in
terests Of the people there may be
some degree of roughness. but in all
the struggles OF humanity from step
to step in the advance movement. there
has always been degree Of roughness;
but, thank God. humanity forgets the
roughness Incidental 70 the struggle
