IDEALS ARE VALUED

Milwaukee.-Ideals are the greatest

Outraged, said Dr. Stephen Wise, New
York rabbi, in an address in this city.
Ideals are the most worthwhile
things in the world" he declared. ITO
have an ideal and be ever in the pur-
suit OF it is to live a useful life The
men that the world honor are those
who have held to cherished ideals,
even though in standing by their CON
victions they were minority, pitted
against the world. ldealists, with
their impractical visions, are always
in the minority; they are always I'M
popular, because it is their work in the
world to stab away the consciousness
of the majority. And the majority
does not like to be aroused from its
slumbers to hear indictments Of things
as they are, for such indictments are
a reflection upon them. Over and
over the idealist has rendered the
world priceless services"

RELIEF FOR DANBURY HAT
TIERS

At the recent session of the A. F.
of L. in San Francisco a resolution
was adopted asking that each mem
Der of Organized Labor in the United
States donate his earnings for the
second hour OF any one shift worked
on Thursday, January q, 1916, to
fund for the relief of the Danbury
Hatters, who are being despoled of
their property by the American Anti
Boycott Association through an order
of the Supreme Court of the United
States.
All labor unionists know that GER
tain hat manufacturers of Danbury
secured judgment of several hundred
thousand dollars against the members
of the Danbury Hatter's union for al
legged damages caused by a boycott
The manufacturer are now selling
the homes Of such hatters as owned
them. The A. i. of l.. refused to
levy assessments to pay the damages
as the money would all have gone
to the manufacturers but under the
present plan, the manufacturers will
only get such satisfaction of judg-
ment as can be obtained from selling
the property of individual hatters-
and it is hoped these can be reim-
bursed by the donation that is asked
in the maner described.
All labor unions gained materially
by the brave and stubborn fight put
UP by the Danbury Hatters, as
through their noble sacrifices was Sc
cured the passage of the Clayton law,
which legalizes such acts as they were
held in huge damages for.
Do not forget the date-and do
not fail to remember the Danbury
Hatters.

the strikebreakers brought in 10 years

TO STOP FLYING DUST

Milwaukee-At a conference of
trade union officials and the state in
dustrial commission it was decided
that special commission, consisting
of employers and employees, shall be
appointed to make survey of work
ing conditions and recommend remed-
les. One of the greatest dangers,
workers pointed out, is the presence
OF flying dust, especially in the metal
and wood-polishing trades, as present
systems are inadequate to protect
workmen. One metal polisher stated
that of the 80 deaths among the mem
bers of his craft last year, Al were due
to tuberculosis caused by flying. dust

WHY JAPANESE ARE OPPOSED

San Francisco.-At a lunch given by
Baron Shibuswa, Japanese hancier, to
several trade union officials. these
workers frankly told the opposition
to the Japanese in California is not
racial. but economic. 1t was the fear
that the Japanese, through ignorance
would take their jobs because they
would work cheaper, and thereby low
err the living standards, that mericar
wage workers objected to this latest
invasion.
Baron Shibusawa acknowledged
that his country must reckon with or

develops in Japan.
