AND NOW AS TO GAMBLING
 DENS.

Enc Industrial Worker is not a puritancal sheet. Admittedly there exists legal obligation on the part of the authorities to enforce such laws as the people in their wisdom and judgement have en- acted but that is a responsibility thi. office does not seek to assume. While conceiving that there abides a social responsibility for the wei fare of the individual we believe that the strength of a man is best promoted by telling him he must be capable of looking out for himself.
 The foregoing is intended to re- move any notion that we seek an unwarranted guardianship over the community Plainly we are not actuated by any maudlin sentiment talism. The considerations we wish to drive home to the substantial cl- tiZens hereabout are much more practical and cold blooded. The spring and summer work of a miner in this camp is with reason- able good fortune sufficient 10 main- tain him through the winter season and il retained by him would en- able him to prospect the placer fields of this district. The re- sources upon which your prosperity depends are involved in that. are they not? One prospector may un- cover dirt that will make a metro polls. If the miner loses his poke he cannot prospect and without they do that there can be no de- velopment and no prosperity, can there? Suppose he loses hi; money through his own folly and really has no one to blame but himself we need not waste any sobs upon him. He can dog it to the outside but following the reasoning above is the community not the real loser?

ORGANIZATION-THE WORK
 FRS TOOL.

As the old Greeks used the word, organization meant ar instrument, engine, machine or tool for mak- ing or moving anything. AS work CTS, organization is OUT instrument for enfocing just dealing, adequate return for service, safe and decent conditions of labor. Organization is the engine for driving home the human rights of labor. for protect ing it against exploitation by the financial interest Organization is the tool by which wages are in creased and hours shortened. This tool will yet ply the locks from fire trap eactories and even jack up the Coruts to a sense Of soclal responsibility.
 By using this tool-organization we break the tyranny of the tools we work with. Organization is our machine to prevent Speeding upi by the employers machine. We count for something more and for something else than the last Zap perdage of the machine" Our hu- man skill IS TO longer mere cog in industry a piece of mechanism to be bartered for, used or dis carded to suit the convenience or profit of some captain of industry By organization we assert and en- force our human interests as against mere considerations Of bls- mess profit,
 By organization we take a little from the liberty of each in order to give back freedom to all. In in- dustry there is no longer freedom of contract" for the individual worker-the learned court; to the contrary-but only for crganiAa- tions of workers. Organization furnishes us with our only protec- ton. If unorganizcd we cannot re- port violations of fire ordinance without risling our jobs. hence we risks our lives rather than our jobs.

It was when he entered upon bushes pursuits that the Asiatic became yellow peril". From a standpoint of service. excellence and condition Of stock. economy of methods he is the superior mer- chant and soon takes his place as such if unhiEdered. As a compe- titor he practices sort of mercan- tile jiu jitsy that puts the white merchant out for the count.
 As a worker he constitutes no peril of himself to white labor. Long under repression he takes to unionism and socialism like a duck to water. These are new found pri- vileges to him. He can give us les soEs in militancy and solidarity of action. It is only as we exclude and cstracize him that he is any sort of menace.
 In the sense of infdelity to his kind ther is no such thing asi a yellow scab. They see to it that sec bbing is an avocation in which the mortality rate is total. A yellow strike cannot be broken with yellow labor must be herded and kept in ignorance of what they are doing. The rule is that a wEitc strike must be broken by white scabs. In the Vancouver traction strike cteps wer taken to call out other crafts in sympathy The white carpenters, affiliated" stood upon their agreement and their "craft rights. The yellow carpenters, unaffiliated, came out although excluded and ostracized.

meeting.
 This paper is without desire to injure the honorable district at torney but the bare facts stand out in it's conviction that conforming to the dignity of his office he might very consistently have remained away from the meeting if not in sympathy with it's purposes. More over it certainly did not deyolve upon him to advise Captain Ross except upon the application of that official. Fortunately Captain Ross had been able to make up his own mind and probably gave all due weight to those nonsensical techni- calitics which might have bound his hands and have made him like wise timorous wavering official and not a life guard.

 District Attorney Mun6y was vol untarily in attendance upon the meeting and participated in 1t. lie made no objection to his appoint ment a. a member of the committee named by the Mayor to wait upon the Comandant of the Coast Guards to advise him of the action of the citizens and to make de- livery of the vessel to the Coast Guards to enable them to proceed about the merciful work for which the government maintains their or ganization. The Worker immediate lv published a full and fair account of the proceedings including the name of Mir Mundy with the other gentlemen selected by the Mayor.
 The Mayor himself had come promptly up to the scratch, none or the other members showed any tendency to dog it but proceeded rcsolutely to the task set for them and which had been unanimously directed by the mass meeting.
 Mir. Mundy called upon us and wished to have us make a correc- ton in the published account but appears to have got himself be- tween fit and sweat and when in- vited to make free use or these columns to sci himself right in the promises was as unable to make a decision as he had evidently been in his own mird at the meeting. He made no move to decline the worthy duty assigned to him by the Mayor until after the meeting had adjourned when, as he state, ne told Mayor Lomen he could mol serve. However he proceeded with the committee to wait upon Captal Ross but states that on his part ht did so for the purpose of advising the captain to have nothing to dc with the seisure of the tug, "a course precisely contrary to the one he had accepted in the pre- sence of his fellow citizens in mass

Organ:zation per forms it's great worE in enabling us to realize ourselves, in providing an effective way for the expression and expansion of our own powers.
