the shrewdness OF their leader, they

On the particular day On which

one OF the gang to watch another,

These were the two men who had
emerged from the waterfall and who
now reported to headquarters and
proceeded about their work. Their
arrival excited no comment, but the
moment the second man had signaled
to his leader that he must see him

out:

THE REALITIES OF PROGRESS
By MARGARET SCOTT HALL.

any which have gone before, until
now organized labor has become mil
itant factor for the promotion of hu-
man welfare.
Indeed it is movement of world
wide interest too great to be hindered
by avarice or throttled by selfishness.
A nationwide fight was recently
waged for the eight-hour day. 1t
meant supreme test and the crisis
meant as much to the people as a
whole as to labor as an organization.
1t seemed the psychological moment
for the eight-hour law to improve gen.
eral conditions for labor, and the
world is fully awake to realization
of progress in that direction.
As a nation of masses and classes
we have prospered commercially and
industrially, but it is a pathetic cir
cumstance that in so many instances
the workers have had to have a con-
flict to obtain living wage and share
in the general prosperity.
From a recent issue of government
statistics the year 1916 was charac-
terized by an unusual number of
strikes.
Evidently some wholesale 'hogging"
of prosperity is going on-more shame
to the greedy one!
Organized labor is the champion of
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

"The insolence of Office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy
takes"
Parasitic life ever piles up burdens
and unnecessary humiliations for
those who bear the worlds response
bilities And yet, organized labor
after the accomplishment of each new
stunt takes short breathing spell,
and is at it again. There's always
something more to be achieved for hu-
man uplift.
The man who works for living has
a superhuman task when he attempts
to rise from the obscurity of job
to the distinction of a position.
To become a recognized citizen he
must battle every inch of the coveted
distance against the exploiters OF Ia
Dor who bar his way upward. Today,
the modern hero who knocks the IT.
out of cant" knows what the work
ing mans problem is. He can de-
scribe the alternate emotions of de-
termination, despair, resentment,
hopelessness, desperate courage, un-
yielding perseverance, heroic sacrifice.
He can define these emotions when
he has tried to climb, and at the same
of a workingman's life. :.
To perfectly understand the reali-
ties of such progress one must pass
over the rocky road circumscribed for
the workingman by his self-appolnted
critics and self-styled superiors.
A workingman with ambitions must
have stout heart for the task of
self-advancement. The world seems to
consider him presumptive to hope, Tor
higher aims or expect to be anything
but an animated atom of machinery
for use of the stronger man in the
ranks higher up. "Poor but honest"
it does not take long to find out that
"the elevator to success is not run
ning,"-those who would reach the
coveted heights must be willing to
look up and climb.
Whatever influences the feelings of
the man who works for living, am
bition promotes a sub-conscious per
sistence, do or die attitude that ever,
thru al circumstances, dominates dif-
ficulties and determines success.
Even tho heart throbs, tears, and
sacrifice mark the way, the goal and
results remain ever in view.
The same sentiment squirting the
individual to better things in life ami
mates an organization to similar ends.
Labor is coming into her own thru
just such sublime courage. and con-
stancy of purpose as animate the men
who marshal organiZation's forces.
Union men, the rank and file of men
who work for a living, following their
leaders and encouraging them by in
telligent cooperation are helping to
hasten the good time coming.

The stronger organization grows
the better fitted it becomes for meet
ing the issues of each industrial dis
pute as the occasion arises.
For a long time, inch by. inch, la
boris organization gained its point,
slowly and painfully making it's way
until at last its progress is counted as
phenomenal.
OF late, each victory achieved is OF

WHY l. w. w. is DANGEROUS.

The bona fide labor organizations
affiliated with the American Fedora
tion of Labor, enter into contractural
relations with their employers, holding
that this relationship is basic and es-
sential to the progress and develop
ment of an orderly movement. On the
other hand, the Industrial Workers of
the World, declare that to enter into
such a relationship is to betray the
workers of the country.
1t is positively known that certain
employers have encouraged the propa-
ganda of industrial unionists in their
efforts to sow the seeds of dissension
in the regular trades-union movement
and, when the dissension had spread to
desired degree, used the very fact
itself as an argument to justify their
deportation of all active union men.
The official labor paper of the Arizona
State Federation of Labor is authority
for the statement that over 80 per cent
of the workers deported from Bisbee
were members of organizations afiil-
lated with the American Federation of
Labor.
Here we see /. w. Wism used as an
excuse to drive from their homes hum
dreds of honest workers belonging to
legitimate organizations, because in
tnelr llIOYlcdl IdcIlCS Lle SSieiiilhS
minds of anti-labor agitators found a
ready argument to enlist the active
aid of hundreds of unthinking people.
The foes of legitimate organized labor,
and the annals of the past furnish
ample proof of their existence, in every
community, are keen to use the cry Of
81. w. w" on lots of occasions when
there are few if any of these present
and thus help along their cherished
dream of crushing trades-unionism.
When our legitimate organizations
allow the dangerous doctrines of the l.
w. W. to be spread in their locality
they are simply permitting the spread
of an agitation that will eventually
be used to their own undoing: Dis
courage the spread of the /. w. W.
movement as you would prevent the
spread of pestilence. The workers
of the world must organize and wage
an intelligent warfare for their bet
terment but to subscribe to the tactics
and practices of the so-called indus
trial workers of the world is to at once
admit our unfitness for the struggle
that is on.-Wyoming Labor Journal.

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

Adjutant General Crowder, in
charge of the selective draft for the
government, has selected James Nor
gan, secretary of the United Mine
Workers of the Wyoming district, as
the labor member of the exemption
board for that federal district. While
the name of Mr.. Morgan had been
sent in to Washington several weeks
ago with the Endorsement of the State
Federation of Labor nothing was
known authoritively of his selection
as member of this very important
board until the list was made public
thru the press.-Wyoming Labor
Journal.
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

He may live in a tenement, but he is
the backbone of this republic. He is
the most highly skilled artisan in the
world. 1t is because of this that we
are the most prosperous nation on the
face of the globe. America learned
the lesson earlier than any other ma
ton, that no people can advance un-
less they take with them the common,
everyday man. Furthermore, America
learned the lesson sooner than any
other nation, that the prosperity OF the
whole people depends upon the pros
perity of the workingman. He has not
received all to which he is entitled.
ANY man would be a fool to say that
the present social system is ideal, in
any land. But the labor movement is
rapidly bringing in the day when the
workingman shall come to his own.
The American workingman is an in
dependent, free-acting citizen: Any
man, be he labor-leader or politician,
or labor-leader and politician, who
says that he carries in his vest-pocket
the vote of the American workingman,
is liar. If he really believes it, he
is fool. When the American work
ingman does follow a leader, it is be-
cause that leader has made good, or
because the principles which he is ad-
vocating, appeal to the workingman's
good sense. The American working
man claims the right to protest
against any condition which he be-
lieves is against the interest of the
people. He fought long for religious
democracy. He fought hard for .polit-
ical democracy. He is going to win the
fight for industrial democracy.
The American workingman has so
long breathed the air of democracy,
that he hates patronage or paternal-
ism. While he appreciates a clean
shop and pure air, he despises the
splutter some folks are making about
social welfare work. All he asks is
square deal, then he will not need
most of these benevolent enterprises.
The American workingman is not a
lawless revolutionist. Anarchy of the
mb-throwing type does not appeal to
him. He is demanding that the women
folks shall receive equal pay for equal
work. He is the champion of little
children in his fight against child Ia

STATE ROAD PROGRAM
FINALLY ANNOUNCED
State Highway Commission Finally
Works Out Plan for Building $4,000
Worth of Roads.

The federal aid highway trunk sys-
tenn of the state which has been settled
virtually as recommended by the high
way engineer, after months of hearings
by special legislative committee, COM
prises about 5000 miles of road in all
counties of the state. All county clerks
have been notified, and the routes will
be published officially in each county.
The mileage for Kenosha county is
$3.50 miles, for Racine county 67.6O
miles, and for Walworth county 90.81
miles.
The systems of roads hinge on the
points, Milwaukee, Madison, Fond du
Lac, Portage and Eau Claire. The to-
tai cost of their construction is to be
$40,000,000 of which the United States
pays third, the state third and the
county third. The counties will pay
for maintenance, but will receive much
of the cost in the distribution of auto
mobile and other vehicle licenses by the
state. The total cost of maintenance
lis estimated at nearly 100000 a year.
One Of the most important changes in
routes made by the committee was the
selection of the Waukesha-F Fort Atkin-
son road from Milwaukee to Madison
instead of the Watertown plank road.
About a quarter of the roads in the
system have been improved, but will
need more work on them.
About one-fourth of the roads select
ed for trunk lines have already been
improved, but additional work will have
to be done on some of them to comply
with federal conditions. The special
legislative committee which selected
the trunk lines consisted of G. w. Peter
son of Racine, chairman; David V. Jen-
nlngs, secretary; J. c. Chapple, Ash
land; Watson Woodland, Bloomer; and
E. F. Clark, Galesville.

TWO CARS FEATURE
In CYCLE SMASH-UP
Puzzle To Place Blame For Saturday
Afternoon smash-Up on Milwaukee
Ave. When Wheel is Wrecked

Frank Lupia, 1852 Grand avenue. is
counting himself lucky even though his
bicycle was wrecked when he was run
into at the corner of Grand avenue and
Milwaukee avenue, Saturday afternoon.
by jitney, driven by Victor Kremis.
Lupia had barely turned west on Grand
avenue, when he met Kremis who had
started to turn from his eastward d.
rection north on Milwaukee. Kremis
saw the situation and slowed up
enough to avoid Lupia but was hit in
the rear by another car, the driver of
which is unknown. As good luck would
have it, Lupia jumped off the wheel
just before the Ford crashed over it
and left it wreck Kremis paid Lupia
for the damages, but is seeking redress
from the driver Of the second car who
apparently believed that he should take
mo part in sharing the expense. He
declares he had no signal to stop and
is graciously passing the buck back to
Kremis. 1t is tangled, to say the least,
and is is possible that the municapl
court win be called upon to settle the
blame.
