At the age Of Is years he enlisted in
the 18th Vermont and was in Co. G,
LIST Heavy Artillery in which company
he remained till his discharge on
August %, 1866. In June, 1867, Mr..
Fisher was married TO Myra Pepper
Of East Rupert. In February, 1888,
Mrs. Fisher died, leaving four daugh-
tiers: Lottie (Mrs. Abbey Of Provi-
dence, r. -; Nellie MRS. Joseph
Wade of Providence, r. -; Lefty
(Mrs. Cobb of Burlington), and Maud
(Mrs. Derby of Passaic, N. J.). On
February 90, 1889, Mr.. Fisher mar
ried Mary A. Batchelder, widow Of
Mark Batchelder Of Dorset. There
were no children by this marriage.
Most Of Mr.. Fishers active life was
spent in Dorset and he always took
keen interest in the village and town
affairs. He had held almost all the
different Offices Of the town and had
filled each position with credit: select
man, assessor, school director and JUS
tice Of the peace. His longest term Of
public service was as school director,
he having been actively connected
with that work from 1890 up to his
death. After the Civil War when the
VIM. J. Fuller Post was organized, Mr..
Fisher was, with other veterans, al
ways an active member and his death
will make sad difference to the half
dozen members still living. He was
also live Granger and was always
willing and ready to do his share Of
the Grange work. At the time Of his
death Mr.. Fisher was chaplain of Dor
set Grange and had held that position
for three years. He was member Of
the Dorset and East Rupert Congrega-
tional Church and for many years was
clerk of the society, having resigned
the position last July on account of
poor health. As said before, Mr.. Fish
err was a public spirited man and was
always ready to assist in any move
ment which would benefit his town or
village and his neighbors and fellow
townsmen will feel his loss in their
village councils. Having served his
town, state and country we'll he has
passed on to his reward.

his facts in a definite convincing
form if he hopes to win over his as
sociates to his beliefs. Every man
has fair chance to preach these
views, no matter how unpopular they
may be.
Nowhere does one get more pa
tient hearing than at a labor union
meeting. Here, too, he learns the
lesson of subordination to the wills
of others. He learns the value of
"team work"-of cooperation.
In the labor movement the work
ngman learns the lesson of thrift.
Rarely does trade unionists ap-
ply to organized charity or any other
form of charity for relief. 1t is
easily possible to talk about the
value of the trade union as a force
for temperance. One can easily
make strong argument in this di-
rection. The question of the edu-
cation and the Americanizing of the
immigrant must be discussed in favor
if the trade union.
Child labor, the sweat shop, un-
sanitary conditions in shop and
home, are all questions concerning
which trade unionism need not be
ashamed to speak.
Having clearly established these
points, it will be easier to discuss
the measures through which these
ends have been and shall be Sc
cured.
An intelligent presentation of the
broader work of organized labor
must win to its support the thous-
ands of impartial men and women
whose endorsement will be of great
value to the cause.

TALKING POINTS FOR
ORGANIZED LABOR
(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle)

(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle)
In arguing for the value of trade
unionism, the average friend of or
ganized labor frequently makes the
mistake of discussing questions
which are debatable, and concerning
which there will probably always be
difference Of opinion. No doubt
these debatable questions have their
place in a full discussion of trade
unisnism, but for the sake of a
better understanding of the aims and
objects of organized labor, it would
seem to be more tactful and more
logical to first talk about what it
has accomplished.
There are many matters with
which organized labor has to do,
concerning which there can be abso-
lutely no dispute. Trades union
lists would make more friends for
their cause among the public, if they
presented more frequently the ethi-
cal value of their organizations.
For instance, one might proclaim
the fact that labor halls have come
to be important social centres. Here
helpful lecture courses on moral and
economic subjects are frequently Civ
en-. The labor press has it's edu-
cative value. Many of the labor
journals, especially those published
by Internationals give courses in
technical training.
A genuine moral uplift comes
through the regular meetings of the
union, because man must present
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1917-07-13

international standards must be es-
tablished on the basis of a true
democracy. Our economic organi-
cations must be completely purged of
all privilege. Private monopolies
must be supplanted by public admin
istration of credit, finance and ma
tural resources. The rule of job
bers and spectators must be over
thrown if we are to produce a real
democracy; otherwise this war will
have been fought in vain.
"Only in this spirit do we justif!

be established"

FARMERS OF NORTHWEST INSIST
ON CONSCRIPTION OF WEALTH

and God knows they made plenty
thcn
Last Tuesday about ten million
young men went to the registration
booths and there pledged their lives
in the defense of their country's
honor. This is the acme of patriot
ism. No blatant demogogue ap-
proaches within million miles of
the sacrifice these men made last
Tuesday when they went to the reg
istration booths. And it is right
that they should have done it.
81 want to say to you that the
farmers of this nation are so pa
triotic that even though this govern
ment today be in the hands of alb
solute control of the steel trust and
the sugar trust and the machine
trust; even though it is, we are 60
ing to do our best by producing all
we can.
You (thOse who profit from war;
must make this arrangement that
when we give our lives, all we have.
this nation will take first of your
profit and then of the property you
have got if the profit is not enough,
and after the war is over We will
give back. as you give back of our
lives, as much as is left and no
more"
Expressing their 'loyalty and will
ingness to support the government in
its every necessity, "the farmers of
the League declare in their resolu
tions that they are Opposed to wag
ing war for annexation, either on our
part or that of our allies, or demand
ing Identities as terms of peace.
Giving instances of the "unparallel
led profits which private corpora
tions in our country have reaped as
direct result of the war;" the reso-
lutions conclude:
Patriotism demands service from
all according to their capacity. To
conscript men and exempt the blood
stained wealth coined from the suf
ferings of humanity is repugnant to
the spirit of America and contrary
to the ideals of democracy
"We declare freedom of speech 70
be the bulwark of human liberty, ana
we decry all attempts to muzzle the
public press or individuals, upon any
pretext whatsoever. A declaration
of war does not repeal the Constitu-
tion of the United States, and the
unwarranted interference of military
and other authorities with the
rights of individuals must cease.
The contributory causes of the
present war are various; but above
the horrible slaughter loom the ugly
MEETINGS of an economic system

ly a convulsive effort on the part
of adroit rulers of warning nations

(By Dante Barton)


NEW YORK CITY, July 5.-The
farmers in the Northwest, organized
in the National Nonpartisan League,
are adopting resolutions in mass
meetings throughout their, states de-
manding that the war be paid for
by the taking over of all forms and
amounts of accumulated wealth until
the war is paid for. Supporting the
national policy of the conscription
of men to fight the war, they de-
clare that it is only democratic and
only tolerable to conscript for. war
the munitions and food supplies that
are also necessary for the service of
national and world democracy.
A resolution addressed to President
Wilson, is also being adopted urging
the immediate removal from the
board of the Federal Reserve Bank
of Minneapolis of Chairman John
H. Rich and Governor Theodore Void,
and charging them with having false
ly declared that the farmers of the
Northwest were unpatriotic, with
having falsely declared that these
farmers were opposing the sale of
liberty bonds, with having falsely de-
clared that the farmers were re-
ceiving the highest price in history
for their products 'when they well
knew that the spectators, taking ad-
vantage of the present crisis, COM
PEELED the consumers to pay them
abnormal and unwarranted profits"
Chairman Rich and Governor Wold
are specifically charged with using
the Reserve Bank "to finance the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
and other grain gamblers and specu-
lators" and with having sighted "the
Equity Cooperative Exchange, the
farmers elevators and other farmers
enterprises"
The principles of the aggressive
fight which these organized North
western farmers are making in the
declared interest of workers and pro-
ducers and against the profit max
ers of the war are stated in pub
lished speech which A. C. Townley,
of st. Paul, president of the Ma
tional Nonpartisan League, is max
ing at these mass meetings of the
farmers.
"Unless you do away with the
gambler in food and the necessaries
of life you will produce your wheat
and get So bushel for it and then
you will bond the nation and pay
across the water $5 or Sc bushel
for your own wheat for your own
boy" declares President Townley.
"That is the lineup now. 1t is
wrong. 1t is national suicide. 1t
is a national suicide in time of
peace; it is multiplied national sui
eide in times of war, and we are not
so crazy as to believe we can sue
ceed unless this government shall do
what every European government al
ready has done-take over, absolutely
take over transportation and distri-
button and kick out the gamblers in
clothing and food and machinery and
munitions and armor plate and ev-
erything else that they are using
now to make seven times as much
money as they made before the war

SHOULD PUT NAMES
 OF MEN WHO REFUSE
 ON MELLOW" CARDS
Governor RoIcomb Gives His Opinion of Connecticut "SIack- ers"-Less Than 1000 of These in Entire State.

Speaking before the annual meeting of the Connecticut Society, Sons of the American Revolution, in Hartford on Washington's Birthday, Governor Marcus H. Holcomb told very plainly what he thinks of the comparatively small number of men who have re- fused to give the information called for by the agents who are taking the Connecticut military census.
 The Governor aroused a great deal of enthusiasm when he delivered his speech. In the course of it he referred to the military census now in progress in the state. He said that the number of refusals to give information re- quired had been small, and that the total in the whole state would prob ably not be greater than 1000.
 .'The names of those who refused in formation," the governor said, "are be- ing put on separate list at the state headquarters in Hartford. For this purpose special blue cards are being used-the cards for those who refused to give information ought to be vel low"

TOWNS MUST RUSH

Connecticut Headquarters In Hartford Able to Handle 30, ,0OO Blanks DaiIy-TabuIation to Be Done Without Delay.

The state headquarters of the Con- necticut bureau of military census is now so equipped and organized that the work can be completed in record time, depending only upon the speed of the towns and cities in sending their returns to Hartford. The whole work has now reached a point where it is up to the towns and cities themselves. will rush their work and those in charge of the local canvassers will send the returns to Hartford promptly, the whole task of filing and tabulat- ing the census result can be completed by the headquarters organization with in week.
 The headquarters is now able to han dle from fifty to sixty thousand blanks every day. Up to last Saturday night, 13O,O0O census returns had been tab- ulated and filed at the state headquar- ters. If the towns and cities send their blanks to Hartford as fast as the state headquarters can take care of them, 100000 returns can be tabulated in the six days of the present week. The estimated total for the entire state is about 100000. This means that, with towns and cities forwarding blanks fast enough to keep the head quarters busy, the task should be con- pleted in few days.
