very certain that money has power

the exports Of the United States and
the invested value, is an item giving

blunders and small economies in this
particular instance. The best stock of
the country is bought for war pur-

comes to any community or to any
farmer where the horses have been
sold that are needed to keep the fields
cultivated affords very brief period
of prosperity. and in the long run
will show an economic loss. Pass.

IRISH ORGANIZED LABOR.

The power which organized labor
Yields in Ireland has within the past
few years grown with increased power,
a power which will benefit rather than
destroy movement, which has long
been delayed in the British Isles.
Since the centers Of population in
England have come to be centers of
bankers, brokers, and bond holders,
British Isles in the same proportion
cease to offer any hope for the poor
man. In the British Isles, as else.
where, the strike became a weapon
both of attack and defense. During
1911 and 1912 every portion of the
British Isles was startled by the up
heaval Of social forces. The English
manufacturer wore the most compla.
cent look of any man in the world,
and pointed to the organization Of
British capital as being the most
stable in the world, while, at the same
time, the most productive for revenue.
In other words, the English lack of
imagination was unable to see that
labor had any questions of It's own
or that laborers had aspirations.
There was sort of belief in capitals
tic circles that the ordinary day
laborer, as he is commonly refer
red to, was stopped by his own stupid
ty from entertaining any new ideas
which were engaging the attention of
workmen elsewhere. But in 1911 and
1912 the brokers and bond holders
woke up to the fact that in their
midst there existed a we'll organized
system of trade unions and the So
cieties that could make a great strike
possible at any moment the workers
of the British Isles made a demand for
their rights. The general awakening
of the workmen of the British Isles
spread with rapidity undreamed of.
When the Irish workers organized and
tied up traffic in Dublin an attempt
was made to black-mail the leaders by
calling them socialists, by argument
against them in person, and by de-
nunciations from the upper class.
With the growth of the factory sys-
TEN in recent years, the demand for
skilled labor has made certain trades

gagged in them. All this has given a
stability to the ambitions of the labor
ers. themselves. Thus the movement
has grown by its own momentum,
until now full fledged society ex.
lists in the British Isles. Labor has
asserted itself and its demands have
been granted. An attempt was made
to fool the world by calling the laborer
a drunkard and an unpatriotic sot.
But the laborer recognized the profits
of the manufacture of the munitions
of war and demanded his share.
Again, the labor unions recognized
that it was from the ranks of the
laborer, the man with family, that
England was calling for men to enlist,
THAT it was the worker that was asked
to bear the burden of the war, both
in sacrifice and self-denial. The labor
organization again went on record
against wars and war parties. Their

Although the reasons are over
whelmingly powerful in favor of mem
bership in the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans, yet there may be some who
would seek the judgment of another
and more sagacious mind before
deciding to accept the hearty invita-
ton to unite with their kindred. There
are few thinkers in America whose
judgment is more respected than that
of Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, and
these are his words: The Ancient
Order Of Hibernians has twofold pur-
pose: To keep before the minds of it's
members, and in the minds of their
children, the noble traditions, the
sweet and strong virtues of which Ire
land has been the theatre for some
two thousand years. To help one an.
other to be worthy of the older tradi-
lions. To, encourage and help one
another to move forward in reaching
out for what is best and most beautiful
In this land of America, their home
today and the home of their children
tomorrow. This is a noble purpose,
and should be very glad to see tens
of thousands of other descendants of
1rishmen come forward, join hands
with you, and say: I'VE will work with
you for ourselves, for yourselves, for
the old land, and for the honor and
glory of the Irish race in America {"
Can any Irish-American eligible for
membership be true to himself by re.
naming out of the Order? Can he be
true to his religion? Can he be true
to his race?
THE Order has included-and now
fncludes-some of the most distin-
guished leaders. Among its members
are Governors like Walsh, of Massa.
chusetts; Mayors like Curley, of Bos-
ton; officials of great cities like Regis
ter OF Wills James B. Sheehan and
City Solicitor Michael ]. Ryan, Of
Philadelphia; sixteen Congressman,
hundreds of honored public men in
every State and Province, and the very
highest class of workingmen and pro-
fessional men.
The man who weans himself away
from his own people will first become
ashamed of his people. and then
ashamed of himself. Can any eligible
and worthy man invite such fate for
himself and his children?"

NO SUCH LAW.-(Conclude


The Day Book, April 19.)-There is
no law possible that will change a
condition of slavery, unless the law
abolishes the condition that creates
slavery. The law that creates wage
slavery is the law that makes the
earth the private property of the few
and compels the many to bid against
each other for the opportunity to live
upon the earth.
They bid against each other for
the right to,live upon the earth, by
offering to work cheaper than their
competitors, or by offering to pay
more for the privilege of using pri-
vately-owned location, for the pur-
pose of carrying on some sort of bus
mess, or using the location for a
home. This competition for locations
begets the law of rent, which is the
price paid by the disinherited to the
earth owners for the privilege of liv-
ing upon the earth and sharing in
the social advantages that come from
living in civilized community.
AS population increases and ma
-terial progress goes on rent increases,
and as rent is the distributor of
wealth, and no wealth can be made
until the consent of the landowner is
secured, there is constant tendency
in all growing communities for rent,
the share of the land owners, to adj
vance and for wages, the share of the
worker, to- decrease.
So we have the ever pressing con-
dition of the increase of poverty
among those who must work, and of
increasing wealth among those who
are able to monopolize opportunities
to work, which exist only upon land
If Fruit Clerk will investigate the
conditions, which surround the en-
ployers of labor, he will find that
