last Sunday that he would be married. in these
brave words

have nothing. Men marry because they are
strong and believe they can earn good living

There is probably not a soul in Rev Goodwin's

The Detroit Federation
of Labor, Too, Sees the
Handwriting On the Wall

The Detroit Federation of Labor has
/ taken very wise and very timely step
IA dismissing the committee through
which il has co-operated with the Royal
i Ark.
The Royal Ark, as is pretty generally
4 understood by those who are familiar
with local and state politics. is the or
q ranization of saloonkeepers TO which
( those two higher ups" the jolly brewer
y and the red-nosed distiller, entrust their
dirty work.
It is left to the Royal Ark to get up
\ 1he slate of favorable candidates for
Eats in the common council and in the
b legislature and for other Offices in which
Booze is most interested.
|s@ 1t is left to the Royal Ark to get out
the rummy vote on election days and to
4 zee that it is voted right.
II is left to the Royal Ark to do the
sssseeingr and the Threatening and the
ssfixing" of lawmakers and prosecuting
ofIicials, and the Royal Ark has been
\ most faithful Fido to the jolly brewer
nnd the red-nosed distiller.
These gents. in their easy chairs at
\ their highly polished mahogany desks IN
N their luxnriously appointed offices,
\ couldn't afford to get out in the open and
4 eoil their hands at the work the Royal
\ Ark does for them.
Think of what it would mean to the
4 social standing Of their families.
The connection between the Royal Ark
and the jolly brewer and the red-nosed
distiller is established by the fact that
the Royal Ark was able to agree with
Inc Detroit Federation of Labor. through
its committee, that none but organized
labor would be employed in the brewer
les and distilleries or on any work con-
nected with the activities of the saloon.
Union Labor thought it had made
good bargain in getting this agreement,
but Union Labor has just awakened to
the fact that the Royal Ark has been
using it as cats paw to pull chestnuts
out of the fire for Booze, the greatest
enemy of Union Labor.
Union Labor seems to have awakened,
too, to the fact that it has been entertain
ing an enemy within its organization by
|countenancing the Royal Ark, and has
done every individual member of the fed
eration good turn by kicking the Ark
and Booze out bodily.
The action of the federation is just
another sign Of the way sentiment in
Michigan is turning.
That sentiment is turning, with great
,5orce. to Punishment Of the Booze mon
NY the same as this committee work
Nh Booze was banished by repre-
la(lve union men in their meeting.
There Is . whole lot of handwriting on
Vie wall around here just at present.
