NO JOBS IN CANADA.

Washington - The Federal Depart
mcnt OF Labor has published state
mcnt by the American Consul General
At Vancouver, British Columbia, who
warns Americans that there is no war
rant for the call, emanatinp from Cana
dian sources, for 10000 farm laborcrs
IN that country 1t is stated that there
are more than 900 unemployed in Van
couNcr, and that many able bodied men
IN this province are dependent upon
public charity for the reason that they
are unable to obtain employment"
The Consul continues.
There is no demand for mechanics
or laborcrS in this part OF Canada, and
have to recommend that this fact be
made known through the press in the
United States, as a means OF warning
American citizens against coming to
British Columbia with the expectation
OF securing employment OF that kind"

"SETTLEMENT WORK"
NO PART OF UNIONISM

Washington,-ln reply to a query by
a local newspaper What is a satisfac-
tory wage" A. i. Of l.. Secretary Frank
Morrison said:
"N satisfactory wage is something
more than weapon to keep the wolf
from the door; a compensation which
a man can diSburSc himself, and make
both ends meet without his rich en-
poycr'S social settlement workers com
ing to him and attempt to teach him
how to keep body and soul together on
what he receives. Social settlement
work is all right in its place, But it
has no more place i'll the life of the
workinpman than in the life of any other
man. Organized labor says to the capi-
taliNt: Keep your social workers,
Give us an cight-hour day and a salts
factory wage and your social workers
will not be necessary
GIVE MS proper wages, and we will
conduct our homes and our lives in
such a way that we will not have to
be instructed as to how much we shall
spend for rent, food clothing, doctors,
amuScmcnts, magazines and penny news
papers
mo man wants to be dictated to as
to what he shall spend his money for,
the quantity and quality of what he
shall buy, or when Inc shall buy it; what

LIMITS POWER OF GUARDS.

New York. - Continued agitation by

'You ask me to define the status Of
the private guard under the law.
have been advised by the Corporation
Counsel that private guards or detectives
or watchmcn employed in times of lock-
out or strikes have no more power under
the law than private citizens have. 1t
must be remembered, however, that a
private person has the power of arrest
for any crime, felony or misdemcanor,
committed or attempted i'll his presence ;
and also has the power to arrest any
one who has committed felony, even
though not in his presence. Such guards
have no power to carry rcVolVcrS, unless
they have a permit from competent au-

vast relief from burdensomc laws and
governmental officials. 1t seeks and will
achieve freedom and justice for all 1t
encourages and has largely achieved the
interchange OF ideas, ideals, and me
thodS. 1t seeks to cultivate mutual in
tcrcSt, and to secure united action to an
nounce to the world the wrongs and
burdens which the toilers have too long
endured. 1t voices the aims and hopes
OF the toiling masses. 1t asks and de-
mandS the cooperation of the organiza-
tons cooperation and affilation of all
WageWorkcrS who believe in the prin-
ciplc of unity, and that there is some
thing better i'll life than long hours, low
wages, unemployment and all that these
imply.
The A. i. of l.. endorses as basic
these economic principles That no trade
or calling can long maintain wages,
hours, and conditions above the common
level; that to maintain high wages all
trades and callings must be organized :;
that lack Of organization among the un-
skilled vitally affects the skilled, whether
organized or unorganizcd; that gcncr-
ally organization Of skilled and unskll-
ed workers can be accomplished only by
united federation that the his
tory of the labor movement demonstrates
the necessity for the union of individuals
and that logic implies union Of unions

The a. +. Of l.. urges the conccntra-
ton of efforts to organize all the work
crS within the ranks Of the organized,
fair and open contests for the different
views which may be entertained upon

army Of labor onward and forward In
no organization on earth is there such
federation, so great scope, and so free
a forum as within the ranks Of the A.

fair opportunity afforded for the advo-
CaCy of new or brighter thought The
\. +. OF l.. afiirms as one of the car
dinal principles Of the trade union move
mcnt that the working people must or
ganize, unite, and lcdcratc, irrespective
OF creed, color, sex, nationality, or poll
tics. In the language Of the late William
r. Gladstone, trade unions are the bull
war<s Of modern democracy"
The A. +. of l.. stands unaltcrably for
the abolition Of all forms Of involuntary

to make every day day Of better life
The trade union movement fosters
education and uproots ignorance; short
ems hours and lcngthcns life; raises
wages and lowers usury; increases in
dependence and decreases dependence :;
develops manhood and balks tyranny;
discourages scliiShncss and establishes

EXPOSE "OPEN SHOP" PRETENSE

Worcester, Mass-In a public state
ment building trade unionists answer the
claim of contractors that if they con-
Ccde the union shop at would mean
that we would lose control of our bust
ness"
The unionists reply:
"What control have they to lose to
organized labor, or anybody or anything
else, when they admit in conference that
Metal Trades concerns employing them
in construction work will not permit
them to employ organized craftsmen?'
In answer to the employers claim that
they do not favor the sympathetic strike,
the workers say;
"Of course not, but they can, and do,
stand for sympathetic action by all en-
ployers in the crusade being waged
against organized labor under the ma
lcvoent leadership of the Metal Trades
Association"

Every Union Man
Should Read This
Aims, Purposes, Declarations of American Federation
of Labor.

From the inception OF the American
Federation of Labor it has taken the
stand that while unions for the various
trades and Calings must each and all
be left entirely free to govern them
selves within their own borders, yet be-
tween the members Of all these unions
there should be bond as great as that
between the members of the same organ
izatlon, and ii is the aim of the a. i.
of l.. to strengthen that bond by organ
ization and by education and inculCation
Of the feeling and consciousness Of
unity of interest and solidarity to place
the labor movement upon a higher and
more effective plane. 1t seeks to organ
izc the yet unorganizcd workers, the
skilled and the unskilled, the perman-
emily located and the migratory.
The \. +. Of l.. holds that whatever
man may be so long as he works hon
cStly and seeks to wrong no other man
or to advantage himself at the cost to
another and seeks to maintain this
standard regardless OF how any toilcr
may happen to be employed, ne is man.
Though the A. +. of l.. does not advo-
cate strikes, yet it encourages them when
all other means to obtain Justice for the
toilcrS have failed 1t urges that the
workers when struck, strike back as
best they can. Though strikes do no
always win, even those alleged to be
lost at least induce employers to forbear
in the future and teach them lesson
they do not readily forget; namely, that
Labor is the most important factor in
production and entitled to a voice in
the question of wages, hours, and con-
ditions under which work shall be per
formed
The A. f. OF l. stands as the most po-
tent factor in all our country III defense
of the right Of free asscmbagc, free
speech, and free press 1t cndcavors to
unite all classes of wage carncrs under
one head through their several organi-
cations, with the purpose in view that
class, race, creed, political, and trade
prejudiccs may be abolished and that
moral and financial support may be Civ
Ell to all 1t aims to allow in the light
Of experience the utmost liberty of each
organization in the conduct Of its own
affairs consistent with the generally un-
dcrstood practice of the indentity and
solidarity OF Labor.
The A. +. of l.. establishes ntcrcom-
munication; creates agitation and cdu-
Gates not only the workers but the edu-
Gators. 1t is in direct correspondence
and conference with the representative
workers and thinkers the world over.
1t urges the interests of the toilcrS in
Congress, State legislatures, municipal
legislative bodies, administrative offices,
and judicial agencies. 1t initiates meas
urcs in the name of Labor and liberty,
and decides upon acts according as they
benefit or are calculated to injurc the
masses of the people. 1t has secured

VACATIONS FOR BANK EN-

ly and mentally in shape to perform their
duties most efficiently when they have
the benefit of yearly vacation, and be-
cause of other Obvious advantages, in
Cluding the better opportunity of having
an impartial check made of books and
accounts of all employees while on va
