situation SO long as the foreman secs fit

give satisfactory reason in writing
should he desire to dispense with then
services. With this and other kinds OF
protection these individuals, while they
pay their dues, this being monthly re-
quirement, else they cannot remain at

Reason VS.. Force
By E. L. DOYLE
Secretary Treasurer District IS, U. M. w. of A.

the attention of the opposition, that is,
sought simply because the method used
in this instance is "watchful waiting
policy and not an aggressive movement.
True, the line of least resistance would
not create labor unions, the reason being
that all opposition TO the labor move
ment is of an unnatural nature, being
a selfishly designed program on the part
OF ignorant or greedy persons to deprive
citizens of community of their only
means of protection and advancement, !,
it makes initiative on the workers part
necessary If labor would organize.
Many seem to believe, and to say,
that the power to control workingmep
is necessary on the part of employers
that they may succeed, and realizing as
they do that unity among the workers
will tend toward destruction of the
power to overload on the part of the EN-.
ployers, assume it their duty to oppose
any effort to change existing conditions,
therefore, any attempt to alter condi-
tions will only add to their opposition
and widen the breach between their line
of thought and that Of those who seek
to mike a change for the better; while
on the other hand where reason is ap
piled this opinion will be modified, bit
terness eliminated, and the false as.
sumption that the power to overload is
necessary in order TO be successful will
be removed and all will then see that
the very craving for this power tends In
itself to advocate force as n means OF
accomplishing the thing desired, and
causes the main object to be lost sight
of. This is demonstrated in the present
European war wherein all work of pro.
gressive nature has been brought TO n
standstill; all because Of the state OF
mind Of the nations involved in the war,
and what is true of nations 10 true Of in.
divduals or Of movements. So it be.
hoovcs us to not only resent any accu.
sation that labor is seeking to advocate
the use of force in it's work, but 10 work
with greater zeal in our struggle to
make permanent progress by using the
only certain method of. Advancement
namely, the power Of the mind to rea.

ENGLISH UNIONS ARE
OPPOSED TO DRAFTS

Labor troubles in England have been
much exaggerated by the press and 9TH
ers whose motives are economic and not
patriotic. according to Mr.. Ernest Bev
in. fraternal delegate of the British
trade union conference, who attended
the recent annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor at San
Francisco.
''Laboring men of England affiliated
with the various unions are firmly op-
posed to conscription," said Mr.. Bevin.
I'VE are now enlisting as fast as ex-
emptions from military service will per-
init, and insinuations that we are not
loyal to the government are resented.
Under the law, employees of railroads,
docks, telegraph, transport and postal
service are exempt from military ser
vice, as we'll as all employees of muni-
tions works.
The number of men thus employed
in England can be safely placed at about
100000. If conscription comes to pass
the government would not be able to
add to the army more than 100000 men
without crippling industrial conditions.
Under the present volunteer system we
are adding men to the forces for field
duty faster than they can be equipped.
"Our fight against conscription is an
economic one, having in veiw possible
conditions that will exist after the war
is over. What we have now represents
more than 100 years of concerted action
and work, and to ask us to give up these
conditions and accept conscription is ask
ing more than is required of landlords
and manufacturers"

An Eloquent Tribute

A Baltimore clergyman pays this
tribute to the union label:
what can be more deserving of the
reverence of men than the union label,
which signifies that humane life has
been more highly valued in the produc-
tion of human commodities than the
mere profits sought for by greeds The
label is an emblem of justice, of frater-
nifty, of humanity.
when you find label on n box of
cigars, or loaf of bread, or piece of
printing, you can be sure that neither
was made in sweatshop; that no chill
drens' fingers were compelled to sew, or
to sort the tobacco in the hours OF night
intended for childish sleep. When you
see this label on any commodity you
can buy it with clear conscience,
knowing that in doing so you are not
becoming a partner in an institution
that degrades humanity to private pro-
fit. You can sleep soundly and not be
worried by thoughts of typhus fever,
or smallpox, or leprosy, which are often
scattered broadcast from Chinese opium
joints, prison cells and tenement sweat
shops, where the most degraded speci-
mems of humanity put their life's blood
into marketable goods, from which the
poor, unsuspecting public suffers all
manner of foul and loathsome disease.
"The union label is a religious EN-
blem. 1t is a religious act to buy the
goods to which this label is attached
an act blessed on earth and honored in
heaven-while it is an unkind act 10
buy a cigar, piece OF clothing, a pair
of shoes or a loaf of bread without this
label, for then you do not know but you
are building up the business OF some
heartless tyrant who is extracting n
fortune from the drugery and degreda-
tion of his fellows at the risk OF public
health. God bless the label l'-rhc

Contrary to- the oft repeated state
ment that the labor union is constantly
drifting toward the use of force in an
effort to accomplish its purpose, let it be
said that labor knows too well the power
of reason for success as against the folly
of force to ever permit itself to follow
the lead of those advocating force as a
means to advance its cause.
1t has been said, "That gained by rea.
son is gained forever; that obtained by
force is held only until retaken by
force" All thinking men realize that
this rule governs every advance made by
civilization; this because to gain by rea-
son, the mind of man must be brought
to condition wherein it will accept a.
right the change about to be made, and
when this condition of mind exists, op-
position to the change ceases, and those
converted to the new viewpoint become
agreeable to the change and a reform
brought about in this way will become
permanent since there will be no feeling
of revenge, opposition having been elm
mated; nor will the pride of anyone be
hurt, as this new state of mind which is
the product of reason causes him to look
upon the change with pride, for man al
ways prides himself on any intellectual
advance he makes, especially when he
thinks he accomplished it thru his own
initiative.
Force, on the other hand, is failure
because 1t not only fails to give any sat.
isfaction to those who are compelled to
submit to a reform, but it embitters
them, regardless of the merits of the re.
form, because of the method used to ac.
complish that end, and creates within
them desire to lie-in-wait for chance
to apply the same weapon if for no other
reason but, to heal their wounded pride.
Applying force in an effort to succeed
in any cause can be lilsened to the fore
ing Of a child to be obedient instead OF
making II desirable on the part OF the
child to obey, as it creates rebellious
'pirit in the child.
The line of least resistance, other
hings being equal, quite often permits a
"ause to advance irrespective Of merit
