LABOR CAN BEST
WORK COLLECTIVELY

The history Of labor is the history
Of the human race, and the main prob
lem has been a perpetual problem
Of history, for from the beginning
some have worked and others played;
some have titled and others eaten the
fruits.
Out of these facts and conditions
has come what is known today as or
unions.
Organized labor, recognizing the
fact that the great mass of people
must work, and that they must work
for others, recognizes the further fact
that the individual worker cannot bar
gain advantageously with the en-
ployer for the sale Of his labor.
Here is the basis of the modern or
gained labor movement-the appli-
cation Of the natural and universal
principle of organization to the rela-
tons Of the worker with his en-
ployer.
Organized labor does not stand for
physical force-''the law of the Huns
and vandals, the law of the savage"
It does not exist for assault or in
timidation, but in harmony with the
law of organization, the widest and
most effective law of the civilized
world.
The fundamental reason for the ex-
istence Of the labor union is that by
it and through it workmen are en-
abled to deal collectively with their

He'd read all the dope on attending to
work;
And toiling to suit your employer:
He knew that to loaf or to laze or to
shirk
Was quite an ambition destroyer:
So he plunged into work with a zest
and a vim,
And he did more than double his
share of it;
He needed a. raise, for his wages were
slim,
But he knew that the boss would
take care Of it.
For hadn't the books made this sim
pie fact plain
That people would recognize talent;
That if you would work with your
might and main
The boss. with a manner most gal
liant,
Would give you raise, though you
said not a word, "
To show you were worthy Of credit;
So he toiled and he sweated, but moth

And life didn't go az he read It!
The boss was aware Of his merit, all
right, III:
But he said, '"'why the deuce should
7 raise him,
So long as he's willing to work day
and night
For what his position now pays
him?''
But, weary with waiting, the worker
grew wise; >&rG 49,

The Complaints Of the Poor

(By Robert Southey.)
"And wherefore do the poor com.
plain?''
The rich man asked o. me;
"Come walk abroad with me-" I say,
"And will answer thee.''
Twas evening. and the frozen streets
Were cherries to behold,
And we were wrapt and coated well,
And yet we were a-cold.
We met an old bareheaded man,
His locks were few ad white, T..
I ask'd him what he did abroad
To ask for charity.
Twas bitten keen, indeed, he said,
But at home Nd fire had he,
And therefore he had come abroad
When the wind it blew 50 cold.
We met a young barefooted child,
And she begged loud and bold:
I ask'd her what she did abroad
When the wind it blew 50 cold.
She said her father was at home,
And he lay sick In bed,
And therefore was it she was sent
Abroad to beg for bread.
We saw woman sitting down
Upon a stone to rest,
She had a baby at her back
And another at her breast
I aslz'd her why she loiter'd there,
When the >night-wind was so chill
She turned her head and babe the
child
That scream'd behind be still.
She told us that her husband served,
A soldier far away.
And therefore to her parish she
Was begging back her way.
I turn'd me to the rich man then,
For silently stood he
"You asked me why the poor COM
plain,
And these have answered thee!"

LAWS FOR CHILDREN.
) AND WOMEN VIOLATED

Laws for the protection Of women
and children are more persistently
violated than other legislative enact
ments safeguarding the health Of
wage-earners. The chief reason for
this Is that the women themselves
cheerfully acquiesce in the law-break-
Ing procedure. Given employment is
looked upon as gift" from en-
ployer to employee, and why should
gifts be 1ampered.
In one instance brought to the at
tention Of the officials the women
employees in a certain establishment
related to q state labor inspector, with
great glee, how another labor in
spector, Interested in the health con-
ditions Of the establishment, had been
outwitted in her investigation whereby
certain unlawful conditions escaped
her observation. And yet these regu-
lations were for the express health
and comfort of the workers, and not
the employers.
Laws regulating the hours Of labor
are continually being violated. The
laws as to the lawful age of employ
ment are daily broken-always with
the connivance Of the employed.
Women and children want work; jobs
are scarce: an hour or two extra a
day is a little thing and to be pre-
ferred to no work at all. The prob
lem Of health, Of overworlk, Of per-
manently injuring the physical deve1-
opment of the child or girl, has to take
a. back seat-wages must be obtained,
some way. Thus law-breaking thrives.
In Ohio, last year, there were 500
prosecutions Of employers for VIOLA
tons of labor laws. Most Of the en-
ployers were declared guilty, but al
most invariably the fines imposed
were RENTED.
Judge Bell, Of Cincinnati, according
to the tables listing the cases, invari-
ably imposed justice with a heavy
fine, invariably softened his heart and
suspended sentence. One Judge sus-
pended the fine in every one of thirty
cases where an employer persisted in
employing women for more than ten
hours a day.
81 want my boy to work: I need the
money; his father worked when he
was only 49," said one mother to a
state official. Yes, and the father was
old at As and unable longer to hold a
job. That was why the child's pit
lance was needed by the mother.
