THE AMERICAN LABOR MOVEMENT

proved to be the initial step in the
regeneration of the miners. They
finally won and established the eight
hour day, the right to purchase their
necessities wherever they chose, the
right to act like all ordinary citizens.
The spirit and influence of that move
ment spread until they reached the
anthracite coal fields, extended beyond
West Virginia into the competitive
fields of bituminous coal mine opera
aion in many other states.
In their struggle to obtain lasting
improvements the workers have occa-
sionally been aided by employers
whose interests for the time being
were identified with theirs. For it
sometimes occurs that the competitive
interests of employers may impel
some of them to aid the working men
in the establishment of what have be-
come known as standardized conditions
of the trade-the minima of standard
ization. Such assistance is only an
incident in the struggle, of which the
workers take advantage.
On the whole the A. F. of L. recog-
nizes that the struggle for improve
ment in the conditions of the workers
is the struggle of the workers them
selves. The unions affiliated to the
A. F. of l.. and the A. F. of L. in
dealing with directly affiliated locals
do not permit employers to become
members of the unions. / know of no
means by which the interests of the
employers and of the workers can be
harmonized in the full, broad sense of
that term.
The labor Representatives most use
full to the organization and to the
movement must devote their time and
their thoupbt tn the interests of the
labor organization and to the working
people. 1t is the duty of the men
usually designated as labor leaders to
carry the work, preach the doctrine,
to carry the message, the gospel of
labor, of justice to labor, to any place
on earth, to every people on earth, to
defend that doctrine, to promote bet
ter understanding among any and all.
1t is the duty of every labor leader to
make his cause best known wherever
any opportunity may be afforded.
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

In this country one often notices
signs of misunderstanding in regard
to what labor is trying to do. From
the charges made one might think that
labor was a destructive agency. To
its friends and to all that are related
TO labor, it seems worth while that its
real nature should be emphasized.
Labor is not trying to destroy any
thing. 1t is essentially constructive.
All it asks is a fair chance. 1t should
be borne in mind that labor is not, as
has been claimed in the past, a mere
commodity. 1t is human power. 1t
expends itself for the purpose of main
tanning, not only its own life, but the
life of those dependent upon it. And
those dependent upon labor include the
whole world. The very people who ex-
plot labor live on labor. In the past
they gave labor as little as possible.
Consequently labor was abused and
degraded and weakened. Out of the
labor market, like great pen of slav-
cry, came millions to be sacrificed,
consisting not only of men, but of
women and of children.
For generations labor has been
struggling to make this sacrifice I'M
possible and to place itself on the basis
where it belongs, where it can secure
from the whole world the recognition
of its service. 1t knows, and it is
striving to make the world know, that,
without it, human life cannot continue.
As soon as a full understanding is
reached, it believes that its claims will
be appreciated at their true worth
and properly rewarded.
The struggle of labor has been bit
ter and long. The failures have been

UNIONISTS DEFINED.

Wage workers, members in good
standing of the union of the trade
or calling at which they are en-
ployed, who realize as a funda-
mental principle the necessity of
unity of all their fellows employed
at the same trade or calling; who
recognize the vital, logical exten-
sion, growth and development of
all unions of all trades and call
ings and who strive for the unity,
federation, cooperation, fraternity
and solidarity of all organized
wage earners; who can and do sub
ordinate self for the common good
and always strive for the common
uplift; who decline to limit the
sphere of their activity by any
DOGMA doctrine or ism-finally,
those organized wage workers
who fearlessly and insistently
maintain and contend that the
trade unions, the trade union
movement, are paramount to any
other form of organization or
movement of labor in the world,
are the ideal unionists.
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

profit from labor, the vast surplus
that stands, both for the teeming pros
perity of the world and for the ap-
palling economic inequalities.
The labor movement is essentially
humanitarian. 1t is a struggle against
waste, against waste of human life,
of human abilities, of possibilities in
the way of intellectual and moral and
social development. 1t sees great re-
wards going to the few, and a bare
living, or no living at all, going to
the multitude. Moreover, it sees the
few weakened and degraded by surfeit,
even while the multitude suffers. Its
ideal is the betterment of the whole
race. 1t looks forward to the time
when labor, instead of being despised
as it is now, shall be honored, when the
worth of a man shall be estimated,
not in the money that comes from the
toll of others, but in the service he is
able to render society. 1t sees in the
near future a general realization on
the part of society that the gambling
in labor, which is gambling in human
life, must cease, and that a new ideal
must be maintained, placing the well
fare of mankind above the present con-
cern for property. With confidence it
looks to the enactment of laws safe
guarding to everyone that comes into
the world a reasonable opportunity to
make living.
Labor is aware that already laws
have been passed, greatly ameliorat-
ing the conditions of the labor market,
restricting the hours in certain depart
ments and protecting the women and
children. But these laws do not reach
the heart of the matter. They operate
like paternal kindness, like favors.
They are only steps towards the estab-
fishing of conditions where all human
beings born into the world shall be
trained to develop the best in their
nature and to give their most efficient
service.
The treatment of labor in the past is
the tragedy of history. 1t has been
blasphemously accepted and encour-
aged as the will of God. Now the
world knows that it is the result of
the thoughtlessness of man. The hope
of the future lies in the correction of
this deep-seated blunder, which has
weakened the foundation of human
life thruout the world. In the re-
creating of society," with the rights of
labor safeguarded, we may look for
ward to a new era, far more wonder
full than any yet known, rich with the
promise of achievement and with the
prospect of intellectual and moral ad-
vancement, giving the whole race
more certain hold on those principles
of wise living that alone can lead to
happiness.

those of the organizations of working
people.
However the gains made by the or
ganiZed labor movement in this coun-
try have generally been wrung from
the employing classes. What working
men of America have obtained in i'm
proved conditions, higher wages,
shorter hours of labor, was not handed
to them on silver platter. They
have had to organize, they have had
to show their teeth, they have had to
strike, they have had to go hungry,
and to make sacrifices in order to i'm
press upon the employers their deter
mination to be larger sharers in the
products of labor.
There are some exceptions to the
general rule that the achievements of
the American labor movement have
been accomplished by the organized
struggle of the workers against their
employers. One instance is that of
the coal miners. In their first strike
in 1897, not 3 per cent of them were
organized. Yet upon the initiative of
the union and the recommendation of
the officers of the A. F. of l.. a move
ment was inaugurated to present a
scale to the mine operators in the
bituminous fields and to state that
unless the proposed increase in wages
and other conditions were granted
upon certain day, there would come
call urging all the miners to lay
down their tools.
The employers, realizing the unor-
ganized conditions of the miners, never
for moment imagined that the small
union would have any influence upon
their so-called "independent working
men" who were really working men
over whom they had exercised domina-
tion for long time. Tho unorganized,
the miners responded. There was
among them the group patriotism to
which / referred in the early part of
my testimony-a group patriotism, a
camaraderie, an understanding of
their common interests. They received
the assistance of their fellow workers
in other industries and the full assist
ance of the A. F. of L. The movement

Part of an extraordinary Latin
prophecy made by Brother Johannes
in the year 1000 is quoted in a recent
issue of Figaro.
In deciphering the allegory, it must
be remembered France is represented
by a cock, England by a leopard,
Russia by a white eagle, Germany by
black eagle, and Austria by the
"other eagle" while the lamb stands
for justice, mercy and truth.
Toward the year 1000 the anti
Christ will manifest himself. His
army will surpass in numbers all that
can be imagined" says the prophet.
"There will be Christians among the
legions, and there will be Mohamedans
and savage soldiers among the de-
tenders of the lamb.
"For the first time the lamb will be
all red. There will not be a single
spot in the Christian world that will
not be red, and red will flow by the
heavens, the earth, the waters, and
even the air, for blood will flow in the
domains of four elements at once.
"The black eagle will throw himself
on the cock who will lose many feath-
ers, but will strike back heroically
with his spurs. He soon would be
crushed were it not for the help of the
leopard and his claws.
"The white eagle, coming from the
north will surprise the black eagle and
the other eagle and will invade the
country Of The anti Christ from one
end to another.
1.-THE black eagle will see himself
forced to liberate the cock in order to
fight the white eagle, and the cock

will pursue the black eagle into the
country of the anti-Christ to help the
white eagle.
"The battles fought up to then will
be nothing compared to those which
will take place in the country of
Luther, for the seven angels will to-
gether pour in the fire of their CEN
sors on the impious earth, which sig
nifies that the lamb will order the
determination of the race of anti
christ.
"When the beast sees that he is
lost he will become furious and for
many months the beak of the white
eagle, the claws of the leopard, and
the spurs of the cock will furiously
strike at him.
"They will cross rivers over the
bodies of the slain, and these, in
places, will change the course of the
water. They will bury only the men
of noble families, and leading COM
mandants, and the princes because to
the carnage made by the armies will
be Joined the wholesale death of those
who will die of hunger or the pest.
"The anti Christ will ask many
times for peace, but the seven angels
who walk in front of the three animals
defending the lamb have declared that
victory will only be granted on the
condition that the anti-Christ be
crushed like straw on the barn floor.
"The executors Of the justice Of the
lamb cannot stop fighting as long as
the anti-Christ possesses soldiers to
fight against them.
"That which makes the decree Of the
lamb SO implacable is that the anti

many and the successes have been all
too few. But steadily it has grown
more enlightened. Now it asks as its
right for a share in its results that
shall enable the laborers to develop
themselves as women and men, as
mothers and fathers, as sisters and
brothers. AS its right it asks for a
voice in the shaping of the conditions
that affect its own welfare, relating to
health, and to hours, and to regulations
of service. Instead of doing harm to
the world by its demands, it conf
IDENTIFY asserts that it does good, thru
cooperating with the law that makes
injury to great masses of human be-
ings harmful to all society, destructive
to tha generations of today, menacing
to the generations to come.
The weakness of labor in the past
to cooperate. Now it has learned the
lesson. Thruout the country the la
borers are struggling to work to-
gether as one man. Their harmony
has been made a reproach. From the
charges made against them it might
be inferred that, in being
to work at all, they were
granted a privilege. The absurdity
of this attitude is plainly seen when
one asks what the world would be
them. AS a matter of fact,
there would be no civilization

Christ has pretended to be a follower
OF Christ, and to act in His name, and
II he does not PERISH the fruit Of his
Redeemer would be lost, and the doors
OF hades would prevail against the
Savior.
"The fight which will take place
where the anti-Christ forges his arms
will not be in any way human fight"
(This may have reference to Essen,
where the Krupp works are, and many
authorities believe the decisive battle
may take place in Westphalia.)
'The three animals defending the
lamb will exterminate the last army of
the anti-Christ, but they will be forced
to erect on the battlefield a pyre as
large as city, for the bodies of the
dead will change the aspect of the
countryside, as there will be mounds
of the slain.
"The anti-Christ will lose his crown
and will die in solitude and madness
His empire will be divided into twenty
two states, but none of them will any
longer possess fortresses, armies or
vessels"
(Curiously enough, this number CO.
incides with the number of German
states.)
"The white eagle, by the order of
st. Michael, will drive the crescent
from Europe and will install himself
at Constantinople. Then will begin an
era of peace and prosperity for the
earth, and there will be no more wars,
each nation being governed to it's de-
sires and living according to the rules
of justice.
"There will no longer be Lutherans
or Schismatics. The lamb will reign
and the supreme happiness of human
itv will begin. Happy will be those
who, escaping the perils of that period,
will be able to enjoy the fruit of the
reign of the spirit and of the purging
of humanity, which only can come
after the defeat of the anti Christ"
