TO ORGANIZE
JOB SHOPS

The sixty-first session of the unicn
opened Monday with large attend
ance of delegates.
According to the report of Presi-
dent Marsden G.. Scott, of New York,
the affairs of the union are in rela-
lively prosperous condition, in spite
of the business depression due to the
European war.
From the point of membership the
union is stronger this year than last.
Tables compiled for the year ending
May 81, 1915, show that the average
dues-paying membership for the year
was 59,571, an increase over the pre-
ceding year Of 1,O34.
The gross earnings of the members
also indicates a substantial increase.
The average earnings per member for
the year 1915 were $1.026, as compar-
ed with $1.O42 for 1914.

shown by generously supporting jour-

spirits who are unceasing in their eff
forts to arouse, the attention of the
thoughtless thousands to the fact that
the labor journal must receive its
support from the men whose cause it
advocates.
r. Men of organized labor should sup
port the labor journal, and the labor
journal supported as it should be, will
become a weapon whose keen blade
will cut out the cancerous growth that
is poisoning the very vitality of a ma

Do not let the labor journal fight
your battles unaided and alone. The

The men whom our, political and in.
dustrial system have condemned to be
the toiling serfs of the favored few
are cropping for way out of the bond
age which fastens its shackles upon
manhood to coin human effort into
gold. Labor is no longer remaining
mute and speechless, enduring the
burden of remorseless oppression with
out a protest.
The unionism that is cementing in
to closer communion the brotherhood
of man, is raising its voice in elo-
quent appeal to thei Intelligence of the
laboring millions to overthrow by
united political action the despotism
that is subjugating the world.
This unionism is confined to the
boundary lines of no nation, but the
rumbling of intelligent discomfort is
heard in every cline wherever the
hand of greed is plucking the profit
from the muscle of labor.
The onward march to higher civil
ization is worldwide, and the bigotry
engendered by race and creed preju-
dice is dissolving in the sunlight Of a
knowledge that the interests of labor
and capital are not identical.
The man who has labored for a
quarter of a century producing the
necessaries of life and who is scarcely
thirty days ahead Of hunger, is fast
realizing that capitalism is legalized
to rob with impunity.
The man whose howell is Swallowed

Justice under the profit system IS a
mockery and that Dives and Lazarus
cannot live on friendly terms. while
one is ROBBED in costly fabrics and the
other clad in rags.
Ut is apparent that these extremes
cannot meet on common ground.
Wealth and poverty will not shake
hands.
The man with millions looks upon
the victim of penury as his legitimate
slave to be utilized for his further per
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The less wages
that labor is paid, the more profit ac-
crues to the despot who glories in the
power that he can wrest from his
patient victims.

Cuba Soon Will Have National Militia As
 Second Defence Line

Havana, Cuba, Aug. e19.-Tentative plans are in process of formation by Colonel Jose Marti. chief of the Gen eraI Staff of the Cuban Army, for the creation of a National Militia as a second line defense in the event of war. All Cuban Citizens of military age, of good repute and capable of passing the regular medical examina- ton, are eligible for enlistment and the organization equipment and arm ing of the force will be uniform with the regular army.
 Officers and men will be required to attend drills twice week and their arms will be kept in the barracks of the regulars to be issued only for drills or when the militia is called in to active service. No estimate has been made as to the probable strength of the force that can be raised. No limitation is placed on the enlistment and it is believed that the service will prove very popular in Havana, and the other principal cities.

FATHER VAUGHAN.

 Rev Father Bernard Vaughan the militant Jesuit priest of England who volunteered to become a chaplain of the Roman Catholic troops of the British xpeditionary force in France, will be 68 years old tonaorrow. Father having been a colonel in the British army, W hi1e his brother was the late Cardinal Vaughan. The priest who aroused International interest by his EoJtspoken denunciations of the stsins of soceityr some years ago has been equally frank in his discussion of the war, with the result that he has brought down upon his head the de- nnneiationS of his, German brethren of the Society of Jesus. In an official protest issued by the provincial coun- Gil of the German Province of the Society of Jesus, Father Vaughan was charged with ttasserfio ons and inn plications which must be considered deeply insulting to the head of the German state, the German empire. and the German people in general" :" Father Vaughan has visited America and by his lectures attained a wide spread popularity on this side of the Atlantic. Father Vaughan was born on Aug. 20, 1847. and first became prominent as Jesuit priest in Man chester, 1aporing among the poor of that greaH industrial center for IS years. In 1901 he removed to Lon don. where he soon became known as an energetic and able worker among the poor in Westminster and in the East End. He was a leader 1.-the movement for the erection of clubs for working men As aepreacher and lecturer he soon became widely known in America and on the con- tinent as we'll as in England. In 1906 he began his celebrated series, of ser. mons The Sins of Society," which set all London agog. He is the au- thor of many volumes of sermons, one of the latest of his books expressing his views on the war. while another bears the title of Socialism from the Christian Standpoint" In the latter volume he expresses the opinion that sSEVere we good enough for the Social ist state, we should be good enough to do without it!'' Father Vaughan objects of socialism on the allegation that 'it limits it's horizon to the i'm provement of material conditions, E sets up it's heaven on earth, and recognizes no morality except self interest and class hatred.'.f

The reason is that sst1le sharper characteristic of the former make it possible for a single glance to comprehend more. It is true that it requires 12.6 per cent less time to read a Roman line but the Gothic line regularly contains at least ten per cent more than the former. The eye, however, making less move ments for the Gothic, has more rest. and it's glance also moves a4 more smoothly; whereas in reading Latin characters it moves trippingly a1ong's
