This is the time for union men
and non union men to forget their
political parties and vote for men
who have proven that they are
helping them in bettertng their con-
ditions. The working man who
does not become interested in the
coming election has no complaint
to make if the enemies # labor are
successful. Be with your friends
and,the people who are with you,
forget that you belong to a party.
Be right this time if you want to do
something for yourself.

FEDERAL EMPLOYEES UNION.
All Government Workers Urged to Join

All Government Workers Urged to Join
by Congressman Nolan.
Every man and woman who works
for the government in the District of
Columbia and all over the United
States should belong to the Federal
Employees union" declares Congress

gress from San Francisco and author
of the Nolan minimum wage bill. 81
trust that the time is not far off when
all government employees will be
members of such a gigantic organiza-
ton. There will be a time when they
will join and be glad to do SO.
"There have been many difficulties
placed in the way of the federal en-
ployees in their attempts to organize,
such as the executive order which alb
solutely prohibited an organization or
the right to organize for the purpose
of petitioning congress for redress OF
wrongs. After this order was issued
In 1902 the government employees
were not free men until the passage
of the Lloyd-La Toilette bill by the
Sixty-second congress in 1912.
There is a distinct difference be-
tween an organization Of federal en-
ployees and those engaged in private
industry. If those in private industry
cannot get redress for wrongs from
their employers they can strike. The
men who work in the navy yards,
arsenals, etc, are practically all or
ganiZed, but they do not strike. They
have the heads of their organizations
transact business with the govern
ment officials for them. They gen
orally have their grievances redressed
because of the force they have behind
| them. The reason given by many
employees for not joining the union is
that they fear they will obligate them
selves to strike Nothing can be fur
ther from the truth than that they will
bind themselves to strike
Federal employees lack education
as to the trend and scope Of the great
labor movement. However, they are
not the only ones who lack such edu-
cation. There are millions in this fair
land who know praetia ally nothing OF

Mission Of the CITY
Gen raj Body

There are many men in every
community who question the value
OF local trades council if they do
not only aout it as wasteful ex-
peuditure Of their local money.
These may be roughly divided in
two classes-thcse who are not
familiar with the duties of the
council and those who are not sati-
fl d, for various reasons, with the
actions of the central body. Both
Ct these classes have one point in
sympathy-that they refuse to serve
a, delegate to the council.
The trades council, by local city,
or county central body, by what
ever name it may be called, is an
essential feature Of our trade union
movement and to decry or attempt
to belittle its influence is a serious
mistake. When the dignity and
importance of lis mission are appre-
ciated aud delegates are sent to re-
present the various locals that are
intelligent and sincere workers in
the union movement, it quickly
assumes its place as the bulHark of
of the labor movement in its COM
munlty
The purp Sc of a local central
labor body are to weld into closer
relationship the local unions in its
jurisdiction; first, that they may
have the greater influence in the
settlement OF any disputes that may
exist between employers and The
members of any affiliated local of
the council; ser ond, to make it pos
sible to cooperate in the extention
OF organization; third, to give an
opportunity for harmonious -o-op-
Grafton in the selection of men and
measures in political sense.
When the unions in any locality
approach their local trades council
with clear understanding of these
functions in their minds and make
1heif attainment possible by the
selection of their most capable men,
there is no dissatisfaction with the
work OF their central organization.
We are but repeating a truism
when we write that SO per cent of
the dissatifaction with trades coun.
ellis can be directly traced to
neglect or an ignorance of the part
it plays in the scheme of trade uni
onisln.
The too common method of leav-
ing the responsibility Of the work
of trades council to few willing
workers is sure to promote dissatis-
faction and discord. 1t is a work
that singularly demands the untir-
ing efforts of the best men in the
unions in order that the best results
may be achieved. This is not
written as defense Of local central
bodies, but as an explanation to
the many workers who are inclined
10 underestimate their importance
Let each union affiliated with the
.rades councils, send their best tai
ent to these organizations, and, if
he delegates will enter the work
