The factory was . grim, smoke
stained place with windows that look
ed out on narrow dirty street.
There was a constant buzz of machin-
cry whirring and clashing and the
new girls always found that hardest

wasn't hard.
II meant simply the turning Of a
lever, the pulling of handle, minute

after day, week after week, until the
thing became habit and the habit
monotony almost impossible to face
with a brave heart.
When Bertha came to work in the
factory she was given her own spe-

had had an education she would have
realized that the feeling she had at
the beginning of her days work was
akin to hopelessness, but she did not
stop to think about it and so she ac-

McGINNIS AND THE UNION
LABEL.

Mr.. Joseph A. McGinnis was for I'M
ions all the way
He favored larger wages and a some
what shorter day.
A walk-out always pleased him, though
he didn't have cent,
But when the delegate said Strike"
McGinnis always went.
He did the shopping for his wife be-
cause he liked to know
That naught save union articles were
purchased with his dough.
Has it got the union LABEL" McGinnis
used to say.
HAS it got the union label? Show
it to me if you're able.
If it hasn't got the label, take the
bloomin' thing away
McGinnis had no children though he
hoped to have some day,
And his wife, who seen her duty,
was opinioned the same way;
So when the stork arrived one day and
brought bouncing boy,
McGinnis was elated-he was over
come with JOY.
He looked the baby over, his face
wreathed in a grin,
When all at once thought occurred
which filled him with chagrin.
HAS it got the union LABEL" McGinnis
used to say.
HAS it got the union label? Show
it to me if you're able.
If it hasn't got the label, take the
bloomin' thing away
Now Joseph A. McGinnis was man
of good repute;
He went to church on Sunday in his
union tailored suit
Like many other union men, he led a
blameless life,
And when he died the neighbors said,
"The blow will kill his wife"
He reached the pearly gates on time,
as upright spirits do;
"Welcome !" was Peters greeting, and
have a harp for you
HAS it got the union label?' McGinnis
used to say.
"Has it got the union label? Show ii
to me if you're able.
If it hasn't got the label, take the
bloomin thing away"

as the tobacco trust, are on strike for a

who were discharged for attempting to
organize a union in the factory. There
has been considerable dissatisfaction in
the factory for months past and in or

attempted to form a union. When that
fact was discovered the discharges fol-
lowed. A large majority of the strikers
are women and girls.

HOW TO ORGANIZE

The big election is now a thing OF
the past, and the activity of the leaders
in the trade union movement to see that
their candidates were elected to Office,
can now be diverted to a channel that
will place our movement in even a bet
ter position than it is today by the time
the next election rolls around.
While it is true that labor had its
preference in the selection of men to
various Offices at the election held last
Tuesday, the fact must not be lost sight
of that no matter how friendly to labor
the men elected may be, it behooves the
toilers to continue to agitate, educate and
organize, so that there will be no rea-
son for those friendly to OUR cause to
cry that we are weakening by reason of
our lack of interest in our own con-
ditions.
One thing cannot be overlooked by the
workers at this time, and that is the
fact that organized labor, as such must
recognize the good that will result to
the toilers by their participation in cleo
tions, and to keep on the firing lines for
legislation governing conditions of
workers, even to hour and wages where
the municipality, State or nation be-
comes the employer.
During the past few months, i'll the
days preceding the election, much was
said concerning labor's keeping out of
politics, and much was done to keep
various workers allied to the parties they
have been identified with in previous
years.
However, much of this effort amount
ed to naught and the majority of the
workers are gradually getting away
from this idea of coercion by party
leaders to save themselves and their po-
litcal pull after election, and this fact
is becoming more apparent at every
election, and if the proper efforts are
put forth by the leaders of the various
crafts we expect to see this fear of party
disappear entirely
Therefore, no matter whom the men
are that have been elected to the Cen
eral Assembly, the State Senate, the
judiciary, and to State offices, and no
matter how sincere were their protesta-
tions of friendship for the workers and
their desire to assist them in forward
ing their desires for reforms beneficial
to all the people, unless they carry cards
in some union, they will bear watching.
and the stronger our unity for just leg
islation and the greater our influence
as body, the more apt will they be in
carrying out the desires that mean so
much to us.
/ 1t is because of the facts enumerated
in this article that we believe that the
time is propitious for some real work
along the line of organization, for only
| by this system can we guarantee the
unity of action that is necessary to bring
to a fulillment those desires and re-
forms that mean so much to us as toll
ers and guarantee to our children and
their children the perpetuation OF
form of government and class of laws
that will place the toiler on the plane
of equality with the other units OF So
ciety he has so long fought to attain

other whose shoulders and joints are

shortening the stroke and carrying
the elbow comfortably bent in pull
ing.
The leg drive used with the trudgeon
Is called a scissors kick and consists of
a slow opening Of the legs-front AMI
back, as In walking, not lateral-and
a quick, vigorous closing of them. The
top leg is brought forward a little.
almost straight, and toes pointing back;
the under leg is bent nearly to kneeling
position, but not quite; then the two
are snapped together so that knees and
feet brush. The kick is introduced Mt
the end Of the top arm drive-that ia.
the legs float apart, relaxed, as this
arm is about to complete its pull. AMI
whip together just as it finishes at the
thigh.
Common mistakes in performing the
scissors kick are opening the legs too
wide, drawing up Ge thighs in re.
covering, separating the knees later
ally and making the negative move
ments swiftly.
If the opening Of the scissors is ex-
cessive or the thighs are drawn up In
recovering a rather large resisting sur
face Is presented to the water, and this
offsets the benefit derived from the
drive, so that part Of the applied en-
ergy goes for naught. Separating the
knees sideways also makes the kick
less effective, because the forward
shoot is obtained from the pressure Of
the legs upon the wedge of water be-
tween them, and If they don't close
near enough the two forces fail to
combine. and the resulting impetus is
greatly reduced. In opening the legs
too rapidly a check Is placed on the
body, for the movement is one of re-
distance.
In swimming the t~rudgeon-or any
stroke, for the matter Of that-one
should aim at keeping the entire body
from head to feet on the straight line
Of advance. This means that the head
should not be raised or bent in breath
ing, but only twisted sideways from
the neck; that the shoulders should not
sway from side to side, but roll back
and forth, as on an axle; that there
should be nc bending at the waist at
any time.
