Organization: Achieve
mentS and Possibilities

Development of the industries of
this country has been so extremely
rapid it is small wonder that organiza.
ton vi the workers has Jagged some
what in comparison
Less than half century in the
past cities that are now the work
shops of the world were sleepy, peace
full agricultural communities. Wages
were automatically adjusted by the
fact of the free land that was &C.
cessible to all; the industries devel-
oped with the opening of the wonder
full resources of the western prairies
and woodlands and men from every
country flocked to our shores.
Men speaking many languages,
bringing with them the customs of
their own countries, did not readily
ass initiate, Mutual suspicion was and
is the natural result of lack of mu-
tual understanding. Under these cir
cumstances it is wonderful that the
organizations of labor have been able
to accomplish to progress as far as
they have today. To further compli-
cate the situation we have the sons
of farmers, and farmers who have
been driven from the worn-Out farms,
who today find that the free lands
are all taken up and who are now re
turning to the industries. To these
the foreign worker seems an inter
/ lopez; these especially must be edu-
Gated to the fact that the relationship
/ between a corporation and its thou
sands of employees directed by hired
managers are not the same as be
/ tween a farmer and his hired hand.
We repeated, it is wonderful, and a
/ tribute to American labor leadership
that so much progress has been made
| through labor unions.
We have been able to improve the
conditions of so many through our
unions that we have forced our oppO-
nents to an apologize position when
ever and wherever they oppose union
ism. With every victory we enhance
our power to drive forward Our de-
feats are only temporary; only Incl
dents in our march to ultimate vic
tory.
In spite of seemingly insurmount-
able obstacles, the organized workers
have become a recognized power in
the land. Our future is assured, in
evitable.
The workers are realizing the eX-
tent of their power when united; they
have been shown their absolute help
lessness when they are forced to deal
as individuals.
No amount of pressure from with
out can take from them the knowledge
acquired. And their necessities will
force them to strive to profit from
that knwoledge.-FrOm United Mine

STEEL WORKERS STRIKE

Baltimore. About 1875 of the $50

lish an eight-hour day, instead of the
present 1O-hour system. A 10 per cent
wage increase with time and one-half

ever that exceeds all others in import
ance and relaxation from toll. 1t is
religion. Some think it drudgery. If
so then they haven't enough of it. 1t
brings holy satisfaction, comfort in
sorrow and centers the mind on a pure
object. 1t affords communion with God
which is better enjoyment than all the
hollow shams of the world, and dispels
the shadows that fall over the sinners
path.
Lose not sight of the fact that soon
you are to lie in the grave. Think of
the great future. You are formed for
noble ends. You will be with angels
demons. Though pleasure calls with a
siren voice and companions urge you
into folly, though every thing con-
spires to silence the voice of Gods
word, turn from them.
THE stars shall fade away. the sun
grow dim with age and nature sink in
years, but thou mayest flourish in i'm
mortal youth, unhurt amidst the war of
elements, and the crash of worlds
1t is proper to seek amusement.
Nothing in nature or religion that
forbids the enjoyment, in a proper man
ner and to reasonable extent of all
the facilities that God has given US.
Whenever we debase we wrong. There
is no excuse for pluckinp the Doison
flowers of sin. Reason, conscience,
experience and revelation unite in de-
claring, "the way of the transgressor
is hard" We may think we are drink
ing of the sweets OF pleasure for a
season, and the heart may beat gally
in its fancied security, vet the end there
of is death, for in satan's garden every
tree is laden with poisoned fruit and
death is the result of eating.
