And no one knows better than Mr..
Gompers that there are many matters
TO be adjusted by the unions that can
never be subject to legislative control
For example, take the case Of union
printers: most Of their union activity
relates to matters other than the
length of the workday. Were they
given siX-hour workday by law,
they would still need their industrial
organization in order to exercise con
troll over industrial relations in pri-
waite industries" And the same is
true Of any other trade.
Who is it that sticks faithfully to
his union during hard times?
Among what group of union men is
the largest percentage Of falling off
in membership, and attendance at
business meetings?
SO far as our own personal obserya-
ton is concerned, We find that it is
precisely the Red Card men who are
the most loyal card men in times of
Industrial depression. And these are
they who advocate the eighthOw law.
anywhere and everywhere. The Red
card man has learned the meaning Of
working-class solidarity, both on the
economic and on the political battle
field. He joins the union of his trade
as a matter Of class loyalty, Of work
ing-class solidarity; not merely to be
come a member Of union in order
to gain good wages or just because
he can't get work without a union
card mo partizan politics in the
union means no thorough-going class
solidarity, no ass-conscio usness in
the union, and this lack of real class
solidarity in unions accounts for
dwindling membership during those
times when it means self-sacrifice to
stick to the union, instead Of personal
gain.

TRADES
COUNCIL
n E w S

Last Wednesday evening was Union
Label night at the Council. Union
ism means more than merely paying
dues and attending business meet
ings," said one delegate. Loyalty to
the Union Label is as important as
loyalty to ones own local." he added.
Several delegates spoke on the neces-
sity for a more systematic and per-
sistent demand by unionists for goods
with the Label Merchants will car
ry Label goods if union men not only
ask for them, but demand them" said
one speaker.
One brother pointed out how mer-
chants feature scab collars and shirts,
bringing them to the front in every
way, and put the Bell goods in the
rear, never offering them in prefer
ence to scab makes.
Two of the delegates threatened to
buy their supplies in Seattle if Ever
EFT merchants persisted in RELOCATING
Label goods to the rear of the store
and allowing their stocks to run down
so low that the desired size is always
out
The discussion Wednesday evening
was warm enough to indicate a rapid
ly rising temperature, favorable to
the growth of organized labor in Ev-
erett. 1t looks now as though some
of the old enthusiasm is returning to
the Labor Temple. There's a great
time coming, Meanwhile, let every
man and woman of organized labor
get into this Label crusade. Don't just
ask for demand it! Supply follows
demand, always.

NO Difference

What difference does 1t make to
man out of work whether times are
hard" or good? That question is
pertinent, in view of figures presented
by the Chicago Tribune in its issue of
September "a which show that invol.
untary unemployment exists in So
called good times" as well as in
hard times" In 1900 it says there
were 29,073,233 wage earners in the
United States of whom 2.3 per cent.
were idle for a period of from one
month to twelve months. I'm 1910,
another good year, the wage earners
totaled 3S,756,223, and the advance
estimates predict that about one
fourth were idle" So here is at last
an admission from a protectionist or
gan that all claims of prosperity"
during those years were pure bunk.
Why should one-fourth of the will
ing workers be idle in country of
vast unused natural resources?
Simply because three-fourths, or
more of them vote away year by year
their right to the use of land and
machinery necessary to the produc-
ton of the things whereof they have
need. Simple enough, isn't it?

ROCKEFELLER'S
COLORADO VISIT

Perhaps John D. Rockefellers, Jr.'s
press agents are doing for him the
best that can be done. If so, then
such sycophantic accounts as have
appeared in the daily papers, concern
ing his visit to Southern Colorado
mines, is the best than can be done
and leave fundamental wrongs un-
touched.
Mr.. Rockefeller can accomplish no
good by merely going through the
mines and mills, giving the workers
handshake and pleasant smile,
in the manner of a demagogic politi-
clan on the hunt for votes.
If he, ostensibly "a Christian gentle
man." really wished to accomplish
good, he would devote what ability
and power he may have toward secur-
! ing the repeal of the laws that give
him and others like him, control of
Colorados natural resources, and the
fruits of others labor That would
to be sure, dry up the source of all
Colorado; but that should not deter
him unless he wants to continue ap-
propriating without return, what right
| fully belongs to others.
He should call off his agents and
,r1n tn
strike leaders to prison. He should
announce dsapproyai of opposition to
the measures, the adoption of which
would break the hold of monopoly on
the land of Colorado His own agents
and employees happen to be active
! in this opposition, and undoubtedly
many of them, with good reason, be-
| leve that course to be pleasing TO
him He should inform them other
wise, unless he does not want to see
predatory institutions abolished.
Were he a real Christian, he would
be content with conditions that would
leave to each one, including himself,
a chance to earn living and to retain
the full product of his abor-but no
more.
But such self-immolation on the part
of Mr. Rockefeller is not be expect
ed, nor even desired. If the workers,
who hold in their hands the neces-
sary political and economic power,
have not brains enough, nor manhood
enough, to abolish predatory institu-
tions, by their ballots, they deserve all
that is being handed to them by Mr..
Rockefeller and his class 1t may be
that the ballot in Colorado is not safe
guarded not free from corporation
control. In which case the workers
are not to blame. One thing we do
know, however, for a certainty, and
that is that even where members of
the exploited class are free to vote as
they please, the majority of them
please to vote for the continuance Of
predatory institutions, just as Mr..
Rockefeller himself does. SO, if the
workers themselves vote for the con
tinuance of wage slavery for exploita-
ton of the many by the few, why
should MIR. Rockefeller, and his class,
try to force freedom on their willing
slaves? The emancipation Of the
working class must be the act of the
workers themselves"
You know it!

G0MPERS' FALLkCIES

President Samuel Gompers has
been carrying on an interesting de
bate with Brother Edgar Wallace, edi-
tor of the United Mine Workers Jour
nal. Brother Wallace holds that the
workers should fight for Advance
ment by Every Means" and points out
that many measures of value to wage
earners have been secured by the bal
lot, through state legislatures, and
even through congress. Mr.. GOmpers
does not deny that this is so. Never
theless, he opposes the attempt to
gain an eight-hOur work day through
political action, on the ground that
the workers should never for one
instance delegate to outside authori-
ties control over hours Of work or the
determination of industrial relations
in private industries" Which state
ment is, on the face Of it, pure bunk,
For how could the passage Of an s.
hour law by a state legislature pre-
vent the unions from exercising their
usual partial control over hours OF
work or the determination of indus
trial relations in private industries
on the contrary, the fact that there
was a state law in operation prevent
ing the exploitation of wage earners

WAGES $1,000 A YEAR

Prof. Walter E. Clark, head of the
economic departments of the College
of the City of New York, says that
$500 is the minimum upon which a
family of five persons (three children
under Ia can maintain a decent
standard of living in New York City.
To provide for any legitimate luXu-
ries, or careful savings, $1,000 per
year would be absolutely necessary"
The wage of the unskilled laborer in
the city of Everett is less than $500
a year In order to set a standard
you should by all means vote for the
>2G5 a day minimum as proposed in
the new city ordinance. This amount
based on 303 working days in year
viii only amount to $S02.95 year.
This is far beyond the wage suggested
by Prof Clark, yet some of our
"would-be commissioners" are OPP
posed to even this wage.
