Economic Power
Is Touchstone of
Labor's Success
(By Samuel Compers.)

The one thing which employers fear in
labor organizations is power. Power is
necessary to make these organizations
effective. Some employers have official
ly endorsed labor organizations of the
proper kind OF course the proper
kind in their estimation is the carefully
expurgated edition from which all evil
dences of power have been carefully re-
pressed. Such institutions would be Ia
Dor organizations in name only.
Only where organizations have power
do they have effectiveness in bringing
betterment into the lives of their mem
bers. Power cannot exist unless there
exist the sinews and munitions for sus-
tanned insistence upon demands and
rights. The power of an organization is
related in very vital sense to mem
bership and to the dues paid into the
union treasury.
Those organizations which are vigor-
Gus and powerful to promote the we'll
being OF their members are invariably
those organizations which have cstab-
lished high dues. Union funds consti-
tute a kind of insurance for those who
constitute them. Considered from bus
mess viewpoint there is no investment
that will give so high rate OF returns
a. union dues.
When the resources OF an organization
are ample, wage movements may be un-
dertaken with spirit OF confidence and
independence that has a helpful reaction
upon recalcitrant employers.
Resources facilitate the extension of
organization which in turn increases the
power of the organization thru increas-
ing solidarity. Union resources put CON

tions and poorer conditions of work be-

low dues paying policy j. not a
profitable or wise policy for organized
labor. Indeed II would be good business
sense 10 increase dues with every wage
mcreasc-the wage increase was due to
organization and stronger organization
will in turn bring other wage increases.
As union dues are increased more ben
eiits can be made increasingly helpful
aud can b. extended in variety. These
benefits can be managed by the organi-
cations more cheaply and more satistac-
torily than similar insurance can be fur
nishcd by state or private agencies. As
suring the unions control over these ben
efits removes all doubt OF such assist
ance in industrial disputes.
Labor organizations embody an IDEAL,
but that ideal must rest upon a practical
basis il the ideal is To become reality.
The practical resources to make any
ideal reality depend in some degree upon
the financial resources at command. The
question of higher dues j. one OF funda-
mental Importance to all workers. IL is
a matter that must not bc pushed aside.
II is n matter that should be given most
careful and wise consideration. II is
fundamental matter because the dues
paid in large measure determine the
power which the organization exercises
for the cnnre OF human Melfnrc.

The Labor Press

From the 1915 report of the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor to the San Francisco convention.) }
Unquestionably the newspaper is the
chief literature of Americans. In form,
in method and in spirit it is adapted to
the needs of the times. The newspaper
habit has become so firmly established
as u national custom that every cause
must have the means of publicity. 1t
is the only way to get the news quickly
and surely to those who must be reached.
The policy of the paper depends usually
upon the motives in the managing room.
The ordinary daily paper is published for
profit alone. There may be ideals in
the editorial room and scattered among
the reporters, but these may be check
mated at any time be the decisions from
the managing room, based upon the bal
ance sheet.
These conditions mean that the cause
of the people is often neglected to make
room for the special interests of those
who can afford to pay. They mean that
news will be edited. suppressed, pervert-
ed--for those who will pay the price.
The cause of the toilers, the wrongs of
humanity, fail to secure space if its
publication affects profits.
THESE CONDITIONS MAKE LABOR
PAPERS NECESSARY AND THEY
HAVE STRUGGLED AGAINST TIRE
AIENDOUS OBSTACLES HAAIPERED
BY LACK OF APPRECIATION, OF
FRIENDS, FACILITIES AND OPPOR-
TUNTTIES.
Each year brings increases in the pow
er and the number of labor papers of
the land. They are tremendous dynamic
t, of
human welfare and the struggle OF the
workers for justice and a better life.
They herald abroad the news of Labor
the ideals that touch the things OF daily
life and make them glow with the glory
of humanity. They tell the facts OF the
workers lives and OF their struggle for
a better life.
Usually in a secluded office, work the
labor editors who dedicate their lives TO
the cause of publicity for Labor. Their
reward has been frequently but a meager
living and the satisfaction OF a great
work done. The Labor Movement stands
for fair wages-an ideal that must be
extended to labor editors. ,
The labor papers, by bringing about
understanding of conditions, are II pow
erful element in helping to unity and
give direction to the Labor Movement
They journey thruout the length and
breadth OF the land, entering into the
mental life of each reader, expanding in
some way his or her thought, and con-
sequently his or her acts. They are an
incalculable power in advancing the La
Dor Movement, and ought to be sup.
ported financially and morally by all the
workers. and those who genuinely sym
pathize with the great cause of Labor.

loved He was flesh OF their flesh, but

atty Of greatness Is to be a target He did
not object There stretched into his vision
the glory OF the goal He saw something
worth working for, something he could not

out for its attainment. Sympathy flowed
from him, but in that soft heart there was
no coward beat no looseness OF decision.
