REASONS FOR UNORGANIZED
President Gompers Says Ignorance
Is Principal Cause
FEAR OF JOB ANOTHER FACTOR
Pamphlets Issued by A. F. of /
Show Extent of Missionary Work
Among Unorsanzed Workers.

WASHINGTON, June Z. When
President Gompers was asked by the
industrial relations commission last
week, if it were not true that organ.
lied labor is opposed to those labor
ers who refuse to organize, he de-
clared:
There are no such laborers."
The unionist presented numerous
organizing pamphlets to show the mis-
sionary work being done by the or
ganized workers.
He further stated that workmen,
because of ignorance respecting the
objects of organized labor, and the
beneficent result sought for remain
away from the organizations only so
long as that ignorance lasts. Some
others refuse to join unions in the
hope of currying favor with employ
ers, but the large number are kept
away by coercion on the part of en-
ployers. He cited the efforts to organ
ize employees of the United States steel
men who attended meetings were dis
charged, and where they suffered the
same fate because their wives dared
to attend. Thugs and gunner were
employed to prevent the men from or
ganizing; halls and meeting places
were rented in advance by the COM
pany to prevent the men from holding
indoor meetings, and outdoor meet
ings were prevented by local police
authorities. Organizers were assault
ed, and the case of Organizer Jeff
Pierce, who received injuries that re-
suited fatally, was detailed at length.
President Gompers told of the eff
forts made by trade unionists to Sc
cure the right of free speech The
courts, he asserted, have attempted
to abridge these rights without either
warrant of law or the semblance of
justice. He cited the case in which
he was himself sentenced to Jail with
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison.
Speeches made by him, in which he
discussed the principles involved, were
used as evidence to prove his viola
ton of court injunction and to war
rant his sentence to Jail for contempt
of court.
| In this case, he said, there was the
most open and fragrant effort by the
courts to prevent a man from exer.
csing the right of free speech guar.
anteed him by the constitution.

ARE YOU A UNION MAN?
WHAT KIND OF A UNION MAN
ARE YOU?
By FRED l.. SCHWARTZ
In The American Pressman


Do you carry a card? If you do,
then you consider yourself a union
man. Perhaps you would become
grossly insulted if some one question
ed your unionism. The fact that you
carry card is an indication that you
in measure recognize the import
ance of collective bargaining But
how much do you do toward building
up your organization? There are
thousands of members of labor or
CARNATIONS who never do a single
thing in the constructive work of their
union, but who upon the slightest pre-
text will give aid to anything that will
hampers the efforts Of their officers.
1t is a fact worthy of notice that
most of the discord brought about in
labor unions is inspired by the indif
ference of their members. The Jimmy
Crouch in the labor union is always
ready to call to his aid the members
who don't attend a meeting in whole
year. Jimmy Crouch is the fellow
who sits in the meeting room and
never says word that gladdens the
hearts of those who are making an
honest effort to build up the union.
It's always a knock, and most of these
are handed out not only in the meet
ing hall but on the curbstone.
l have known men in the labor
unions that would not serve on COM
mittee or do anything for their union
that is constructive, but who are al
ways on the job to give the fellow
knock who does do the work. have
seen Jimmy Crouch stay away from
the meetings for over a year, and
when some other Jimmy Crouch had
crouch the Grouches are all on the
job. Can you imagine Jimmy Crouch
doing anything for the union? Ask
Jimmy Crouch to serve on commit
tee and his favorite phrase is, "Mr
Chairman, l decline" Understand,
not all the members in a labor union
who decline to serve on committees
are in the crouch class, but any mem
Der who wilfully refuses to serve his
union and then joins the anvil chorus
is a deliberate crouch and deserves
the contempt of every sensible union
list.
| What we need in our local unions
is life. Life means activity. Life in
our union means that every member
vote on everything that comes before
the meeting. 1t should never be left
to a few. If you leave it to few
they might run things to suit them
selves. Don't have any tin Gods in
| your union. Be part of the union
not only by carrying card but by
displaying an interest in it's welfare.

CRITICS IN OFFICE AND OUT

VANCOUVER, B. c., June S.-The
British Columbia Federationist, Off
cial newspaper of the local Trades and
Labor Council, gives this advice under
the captaion, Critics III Office and
Out"
'In it's way, nothing is more inter-
esting than to watch the evolution
of the union-member critic. AS long
as he is free from the responsibilities
of executive office he is often ultra
vigorous in his methods. But his test
comes when he is given a chance to
put some of his ideas into practice by
being elected to a position of trust
and responsibility. He then finds
that the quantity which determines
his ability to turn his plans into prac-
teal results, is not just simply his own
enthusiasm, but the spirit of the mem
bership in general of his union.
That is what accounts for the fact
that many man, as an irresponsible
critic, looks like a go-ahead, but as
a responsible officer of the union
seems to be over-cautious and almost
conservative as compared with his
former self All the same, the true
test of a critic is to give him some
executive work with the responsibility
attached to it. If he has any practical
ability in him, that will fetch it out.
Incidentally it will discover that some
people who seem to believe they could
conduct the entire cosmic scheme,
have not enough executive capacity to
run a chicken pen"

EVILS OF INJUNCTION
SHOWN

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.-Trades union
lature to pass laws limiting the issu-
ance of injunctions in times of strike.
Opponents present the old argument
that this would 'legalize violence" in
their defense of injunction rule and
deny that trial by jury is constitu-
tional guarantee in these cases. Off
GERS of the state federation of labor
make reply as follows:
"The law provides specific methods
of accusation, arrest and trial and
surrounds even the meanest criminal
with certain rights found necessary
to the administration of justice. The
injunction is used to take these rights
away from the working people on
strike and in that respect it is con-
trary to law. The law breaker is, the
Judge who issues it, not the defend
ant against whom it is issued.
at is claimed in justification of this
method of breaking strikes that the
strikers sometimes resort to threats,
and even to violence, in an effort to
gain their point, and that it is there
fore necessary for an injunction Judge
to be brought into the case to place
them under the restraint of his COM
mands. The judge who takes that
position sets himself above the law,
Violence is crime, defined by statute
law and no court has right to try
any citizen for that crime except as
provided by law.
Threats are also covered by stat
ute law and are referred to in injunc-
ton writs merely for the purpose of
masking the true reason for the is
suance of such writs. If, however,
there is any place in the United States
where the law covering intimidation
and threats is not sufficient to pro-
vide for the protection of the citizens,
that place is certainly not the state of
Illinois. The statutes of this state are
exceptionally drastic on this subject"

lis MODEL OF CLEANLINESS
Branch Of Large 81. Louis Grocery
Company in This City is Busy
All the Tine.
AVERAGE $4,000 STOCK DAILY
Car OF Goods Arrives And Is Shipped
Every Twenty-Four Hours
Advertises City.

One Of the busiest institutions in
Mexico is the local branch of the large
st. Louis wholesale grocery company
of Haas-Lieber. With a building &C.
cupied but "a year and having approx
imately $4,000 square feet of floor
space on its three floors it is a model
of cleanliness and industry.
A Ledger representative called at
the plant, Thursday morning, and was
shown over the monster brick build
inb by the local manager E. M. Row
land. Beside five men and a book
keeper the local branch has one travel
ing man on the road and three men
working out Of Sc. Louis who repre-
sent it. Goods are sold from this
branch as far east as Bowling Green
and Montgomery City, as far west as
Slater and past Moberly and on the
South Branch Of the Alton.
An average of a car Of goods ar
rives each twenty-four hours and a
car is shipped every day also. The
amount Of stock carried in the local
branch will average the year around
about $4,000. One of the first things
you note on entering the building is
its extreme cleanliness and the sweet
ness of the air. Although the i'm
mense concrete basement is stored
with seed potatoes and cabbage there
is nc odor except the purest. This in
stitution is a great advertisement for
Mexico and deserves the liberal local
patronage it receives.

WORK ON ELECTRIC
LINE STARTS NOW

Actual work ON the extension Of
the electric line from Moline to Santa
Fe will start at once. W. II. Smith,
Of Kansas City, who will superintend
the construction, arrived late Wednes-
day afternoon with a construction and
camp outfit. His paraphernalia and
horses and mules have been taken out
to Moline and everything will be in
readiness TO start work in the next
day II so. Mr.. Smith brought only a
few men with him and expects to Sc
cure laborers in this city and along
the line. He will need about twenty
men at a time. Work on the extern
sion will be rushed as fast as pos
sible and it is expected cars will be
running from Mexico TO Santa Fe at
nc distant date.
Z. f. Ketter, the engineer Of the
extension line, has already started
work stalking off the line, so the ron
struction gang can start at once.
Large numbers of ties have been
made in the woods along the route of
the extension and these will be hauled
TO the r~ight-of-way when they are
needed. The proposed line will run
almost direct from Moline to Santa
Fe with few curves. In one place a
slight detour will be made to avoid a
deep hollow. The terminus at Santa
Fe will be near the Christian church
and within a quarter of a mile of the
Santa Fe Bank building.
