Bellevue, Neb., June $40 the
Editor of The Bee: An advertisement
in The Bee June 8, by. the Business
Mems association, under the caption,
"Omaha's Labor Strike; How 1t
Started" was read by me with a great
deal of interest, for the reason that,
though | am nonunion mechanic,
am one of the sufferers of the present
strike, or lockout, caused, more by the
Dezettel-Coutts propaganda than by
the working conditions in force in
Omaha and contiguous territory dur
ing the last few years. "Unionism"
doesn't necessarily spell force nor con-
tract breaking, though 1t occurs to me
that is the way some of our crafts,
who are organized, define it at present.

er over twenty years and during the
first few years after becoming a jour-
neyman mechanic. belonged to the
union, and only turned in my card
when l learned that the spirit of
unionism was being prostituted to the
profits of few officials who knew
so little of the tenets of pure union
ism" that they would not have recog-
nized it had they met 1t outside the
confines of their offices or away from
the polished mahogany, where labor's
battles" have been fought, and-not
lost-but sold. l thoroughly believe in
organization, not only of business men,
but Of labor, for in union is strength,
and | believe that If labor organiza-
tions divorced themselves from the
idea that subterfuge and force were
the proper weapons to use in seeking
better working conditions and pay,
and confined themselves as organiza-
tons to a discussion of conditions
among themselves, instead of being
led by such men as Dezettel and
Coutts, who are, not working in the
interests of the different crafts, that a
good working plan could be had with
the master craftsmen whereby strikes
and lockouts would be unnecessary
and useless
If, as printed, it is true that the
painters in' their working rules" de-
manded restriction of output" it is
enough to condemn them, as it is ap-
parent to anyone familiar with this
particular craft, that to hold a me-
chanic down below his normal work
ing speed, is to hold him below his
normal quality of work, for a me-
chanic does his best work at his own
speed. unregulated by others. And to
penalize a man for working that gait,
even though more speedy than his i'm
mediate fellow workman is suicidal. A
pace setter Is rare bird, but if you
control output you must have a pace
setter to hold men who are just below
their natural speed and close to the
amount set down as right under re-
striction of output rules. Restrict out

ASSAILS CAPITALISTS
AS DEPRESSING POOR
Speaker at Secular League Meeting
Talks on Economic Conditions.

IF all men had work who wanted work.
no strike would ever be broken declared
Miss Lucy C. Fowble yesterday afternoon
before the Secular League at a meeting
in the Pythisn Temple.
1T Is a poor industrial system" said
Miss Fowble that permits a class of
idlers. We should require all consumers
to work and produce what they eat and
wear, and not allow a class of idle rich
to feast on the earnings OF the workers.
The best brains of the country have
always been mobilized to prevent the
poorer classes from learning the ethics
of economies. Why should the workers be
sacrificed on an altar OF their own con-
struction? II John D. Rockefeller had
been the head gardener OF Eden and was
employed for $ q day from the time that
Eden existed until now he could not have
saved as much as his yearly income
amounts TO today. Great fortunes are
not acquired by saving. They come by
the capitalist holding back the due share
of the laboring man.
What the modern world needs Is the
doctrine Of Capt. John Smith, who said
that he who will not work must not
eat"
The president OF the Secular League,
John H. Bradley. presided and spoke OF
the action of certain religious societies in
asking exemption from military service
on account of their creeds.

made from the acid of grapes and lemon
