he reports them in good condition. On
the return journey he visited the Occur

ing at anaconda, Mont. In speaking OF
his trip TO The Bulletin. Mr.. Meyer said:
The outlook for our organization is
very p.1mising. Wages have been in
creased almost universally, both in mine.
and smelters. Not, however, to the point
justified by present prices of ores, but
better than have hitherto prevailed. I
found the organized labor movement in
all line of industry progressing very
well. The trip was most enjoyable and
my reception everywhere was very graf
flying. The conditions are now oppor-
tune for upbuilding OF the Western Fed

it stronger and more powerful than at
any time in its history is the united
effort of its membership. Some of the
British Columbia unions are 100 per cent

operation will be given, and the splendid
spirit shown everywhere 1 visited augurs
well for the future"
President Meyer told several interest
ing events of his trip among the mining
districts Of British Columbia.
My visit to Kimberly was particular
ly interesting. Arriving there by the one
daily train between Cranbrook and Kim

Ideals Are Valued

Ideals are the greatest thing in the
world and should be encouraged. said
DR.. Stephen Wise, New York rabbi, in
an address in Milwaukee ideals are
the most worthwhile things in the
world. To have an ideal and to be
ever in the pursuit OF it is to live
useful life. The men that the world
honor are those who have held to cher
ished ideals, even tho in standing by
their convictions they were a minority.
pitted against the world. Idealists, with
their impractical visions, are always in
the minority; they are always unpopu-
lar, because it is their work in the world
to stab away the consciousness OF the
majority. And the majority does not
like to be aroused from its slumbers,
to hear indictments of things as they
are for such indictments are reflec-
tion upon them Over and over the
idealist has rendered the world priceless
services"

business men who carry large lines of

label. We call your attention to this

John Taylor, the secretary of Kimberly
Miners Union, was called and We were
bundled into sleigh and started up the
hill, where the mines and union hall were
located. The visit to Kimberly will long
be remembered as one of the most pleas
ant during our official life, made pleas
ant by the fact that Kimberly is a union
camp in the fullest sense. Approximate
ly $50 are employed in the Jurisdiction
OF No. 100 and approximately $50 mem
bers are enrolled on the books OF the
union. The union has erected a com.
Portable little hall, which is used for a
reading room, and there are to be found
great many interesting books in then
library. Here 1 found a working secre-
tary-for Jack Taylor works in the
mines. Fortunately he has an all-day
shift and attends to the union work
in the evening, for which he received a
nominal salary. Here l was reminded
of the early days of our Federation, for
every member OF No. 100 is an organizer.
and, instead of knocking his own union
I telling the non-union man that while he
is member yet the union has never
done anything for the men of the mine.
and never will-they point out the union
hall, tell him the hours OF the secretary,
that the union has helped to secure the
eight-hour workday, the workmen's COM
pensation law; that it has been instru.
mental in regulating wages and that
lately thru its efforts material increase
was secured; that he. having secured en-
ployment. will enjoy these beenfits and
therefore he is expected to become a
member-and he does. Kimberly fur
nishes a shining example OF real solidar-
ity and harmony and the true spirit of
unonism."
President Meyer expects TO leave for
another trip in about three weeks, dur
ing which he will visit mining camps in
Colorado. Wyoming Idaho and Montana.
