for instilling national life iLto tn

the humanitarian methods now being
pursued by President Wilson. He told
his audience that the shackles could
be removed from Mexican peonage
quicker by American scnnolmasters
than by American gold or military it,
tervention. Col. Lsdwidge expressed
the belief that the Villa raids were
incited by Americans who have large
holdings In Mexico acquired under
conditions which have brought the
Mexican people to serfdom. He named
four Americans owning vast areas of
land who we're friends Of inter ntion.
They are William Randolph Hearst,

WHY A UNION MAN?

A workingman of any kind who
earns his livelihood by the sweat Of
his brow has not done his duty to
his fellow workmen, or to
those depending upon him, until he
has joined the union of his calling
and become one of those who strive
for the uplift of the masses. AS far
as this world is concerned there has
been nothing, no movement, reform
or otherwise, that has brought the
to the home as has the
trade union movement 1t has edu-
Gated the workingman' children, it
has made the life of the wife and
mother cheerful, and established an
air of independence in the home that
would not and could not exist were it
not for organization. A workingman
today who does not belong to the
union would be as helpless as soft
shell crab in a sea of monsters were
it not for the men around him who
do belong to the union. A non-unon
man is a CRATER on the trade union
movement, because he derives bene-
fits for which he does not render an
equivalent, and in many cases is just
as bad as the despised scab
There are many reasons why men
refuse to join the unions, but the most
prominent is their Unborn nature Of
being dependent on the boss in the
hope of securing a foremanship over
lot of men, so that he can get a big
lowering the wages of the fellows I'M
der HMM other words, accepting a
premium for betraying those whom he
should defend.
A man who joins the union does so
with a noble purpose, and the longer
he is in it the more he sees of its ad-
vantages. He does not look for any
advantages or favoritism over his fell
low worker. All he asks is a square
deal and an occasional raise in wages
in proportion to the raise in the price
of the goodies" He is invariably
proud of his calling, and feels that
every penny he receives is honestly
earned and in many cases more than
earned, but he will not be satisfied
until that time arrives when the work
of his labor. The union of states is a
good idea, but the union of men is a
better one.

stated above, no union man could
enter their places. Petty fines have
been in vogue in their plants and the
treatment Of the employees in gen
eral anything but what you would eX-
pect with a Christian church as EN-
ployer Brother Ward has made his
fight almost single-handed, and too
much credit can not be given him for
what he has done, and an eye will be
kept on what he will do in the future
He has been at it for years and he
won't let up until his church treats
its employees in a Christian-ike man
the medium of the
union.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1916-06-09

Every union man in Everett must
thoroughly understand that the Com
mercial Club is not against the union
man-far be it from such. We really
expect them to send a committee
down to the Labor Temple some day
to help organize new local union
provided, of course, that said local
agrees to the open shop, no wage
scale, no definite hours of labor, any
thing but sanitary work shops, and,
above everything else, no 'profes-
sional agitators."

man who carries a union card. A
union man is one who carries a union
card in a union-made coat, has the
label on his shoes, socks and under
wear, is bedecked in a union-made
shirt, collar and tie, and is topped off
with a union-made hat. A union card
is a sign that a man holds member
