, that cost in order that they can re- so profitable to him. Accordingly the labor movement conscious or un- conscious of these facts proposes to end them and to end them through organization for that purpose.
 It is a serious matter; it deaIa little enough with the lighter side of things. It does not sh1rk the dark and the sordid and the miserable You cannot move chains silently, and the shackles of the workers may not be considered link by link without their rattle being heard, The class struggle is not bath of rose water and what poetry there is ill it. what drama there is in it., is tragedy itself
 The jests within the movement are immense and titanic, laughter of the gods which is accompanied by lightnings and thunder peals.
 For all that, and despite the dark ness that may now enshrOud our views, there is at the end of all the great white and cheering lignt Of industrial freedom. There is a tint a nightless day that is about to dawn, and the labor movement ia the only one that is built solidly upon faith i'll human nature, in human progress and in Man Him self.
 It is the only movement that bases it's claims to recognition not upon the supernatural but upon the loei- : cal certainty of cause and effect. IL recognizes no obstacle 10 it's path but Ignorance and asks for no Ally but Truth. It's pulse beats to q trust in the human race and the be , lief in the brotherhood of man.
 It. for that reason. is the one soundly optimistic movement in the world today. In organization, in so- , lidarity, in unity there is the power . which will free the working classes and establish a reign upon earth when there will be no classes nor ; distinct and hostile races but just mcu-plain men.
 The labor movement is founded . upon the realities not the mysticisms of life: to the workers it's idealisln is the only reality worth while, and , it is to attain the things that the workers are now denied that it am bitiously, confidently and with death ! less faith sets out to attain.
 These are serious objects worthy of the highest effort and such that they may not be accomplished with out effort The labor movement at , lords all workers the means for un- iting, directing and intelligently or ganizng that effort. It remains with the workers themselves to say how soon that the movement will be crowned with success. That crown will not be placed upon the brow of Labor by hands that have made no effort nor by hearts that have felt no faith in the justice oi the workers cause. If will be won by those who have tirelessly and ceaselessly and to a great extent pieasurelessly struggled through ,days of darkness and doom for the great fuIflmcnt of their hearts de- sire.
 The workers enjoy good books. beautiful music and fine pictures as much as any. But they have not the time nor the opportunity for the af- ] fectation that assumes to talk art and to discuss art and which has about as much appreciation and un- derstanding of art as the man in tEe moon.
 ! They are the actors In the world epic that comprises the labor move ment. and they and their actions will hereafter be celebrated in the deathless records of human progress and human evolution. The time will come when leisure too will be theirs, leisure and fullness of life which is liberty; unalloyed the un- certainty of an exploited struggle and the cruel insecurity of mast. CTS smile; when their work will be the enjoyable service of fulfilled happiness, To that end Labor di- rects itself.
