CITY FIREMEN JOIN A. F. OF L.
Charter Granted in Galveston and Will
Go After the Two-Platoon.

City firemen in Galveston, Texas,
have formed the first firemen's union
in the South. The City Firemen's I'm
ion, Local No. 15, ,429, is affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
The organization of the union was di-
rected by John w. Young, district or
ganizer of the A. F. of L., and Rob-
ert ]. Bennington, electrician for the
Galveston fire department, assisted by
Captain ]. ]. Ryan, of Engine House
No. 1, and others.
Outlining the purposes of the new
organization, Captain Ryan, president,
said:
eve are going to ask the people at
the home rule election to be held in
November to fix the city charter so
that double platoon system will be
provided for the fire department. We
also expect to ask for a vacation of
fifteen days annually. By being afiil-
lated with organized labor we Will
have the support of various unions in
our efforts to better our conditions
and increase the efficiency of the fire
department"
Every city fireman, except the
chiefs, has Joined the st. Paul City
Firemen's Protective Union, affiliated
to the A. F. of l.. The first move of
the new organization was to start an
agitation for the two-platoon system
Municipal firemen of Liverpool,
Ohio, have organized Federal Labor
Union No. 5,426, chartered by the A.
F. of L. The new organization has
elected delegates to the Trades and
Labor Council
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-03-24

Organized labor stands for social
justice, for fair wages, reasonable
hours of labor and decent working
conditions; it hopes to see the dawning
of the day when those who do. the
worlds drudgery will get something
more for it than miserable existence
and the assurance that all labor is
honorable and that it is privilege to
be able to toll; it INDUCES the hope
that it will not always be necessary
for human beings, willing to earn
their bread thru honest toll, to trudge
in idleness thru the streets of our
great cities, cold, hungry and miser-
able, like vagabond dogs; it believes
that things should be so altered as to
into being the worlds necessities,
comforts and luxuries, to live, in

MUST MAINTAIN LIBERTY OF ACTION
IF LABOR'S HOPES ARE ACHIEVED

world of abundance, in frugal COM
fort. And in striving to bring about
these things it invites cooperation of
every justice-loving man and woman.
But it INDUCES in no iridescent dreams
as to the nation or the state or the
municipality or benevolently inclined
individuals or groups of individuals
bringing such changes to the workers
gratis.
The labor movement fully realizes
that the lot of the worker, both pres
ent and future, rests in his own hands
and that he must work out his des-
tiny himself, and very largely without
outside aid. 1t also appreciates that
the task before him is a colossal one
and the obstacles to be encountered
are numerous and trying. but the or

In Massachusetts court the other
day decision says that woman
cannot collect damages against pur-
veyor of bad meat, even if she is made
i'll by it. Why not? Because she
buys it as an agent for her husband,
and Cannot hold the seller liable in
damages as for breach of warranty,
since no contractural relation exists
between them" Last week when
judge in San Francisco asked house
wife how she knew that fish she re-
fused to pay for were not fresh she
placed them under his nose and was
compelled to use her smelling salts

for the fish.

cause of these facts, been so dis
heartened as to desire to surrender to
governmental authority the right to
fix the conditions under which men
will labor, or to exercise stringent
regulations over their manner of life.
The worker knows that when he sur
renders one right to the state he will
be called upon thereafter to give up
others, and it is his love of liberty,
independence and justice that leads
the intelligent worker to insist that
he be given the very largest degree
of independence of action consistent
with the welfare of society as whole.
The faddists who are at the present
time advocating all sorts of compul-
sion for the workers, such as compul-
sorry arbitration, compulsory sickness
insurance, compulsory military train
ing, etc, as a general rule, know that
they are not to be caught up in the
clutches of the laws they so vigorously
advocate. 1t is easy to stand off to
one side and see the other fellow suffer
without feeling any of his pain. The
fatigue of the man with his back bent
over a wall laying brick has no effect
on the fellow who is. standing in the
shade looking on. So with the advo-
Gates of compulsion, they are not to
feel the lash of compulsion, and can,
therefore, serenely view its approach,
but the man upon whose back the
blows will fall regards it seriously.
Whether those who advocate all
sorts of legislation for the workers,
without their approval, appreciate it
or not, the toilers are capable of de-
termining for themselves just what is
good for them, and resent being treat
ed upon any other basis. There has
been in the past, and is at present, too
much of this sort of outside interfer-
ence. The labor movement has no
copyright on labor legislation, and
can, therefore, only protest against
it, but the protest must be made
effective.
The organized workers must fight
to maintain their liberty of action or
they will surely forfeit it, slowly at
first, but more rapidly after the move
ment is once under way. External
vigilance is the price Of liberty" was
not said in jest, and if labor's hopes
are to be realized then vigilance must
be practiced.

Hon. Charles E. Hughes, candidate
of "the interests" for the presidency
in the last campaign, has found a
comfortable lodgment in the bosom of
the class to which he belongs. He has
been elected one of the trustees of the
Rockefeller foundation. In that posi-
tion he can use all his boasted nerve
and administrative. ability in further
crush union labor and direct the school
teaching of the country in the interest
of "Big Business" At last he has
won peace, and it is not "peace with

Guard We the right to strike! Let
nothing enter in,
To curb that God-given freedom, that
heritage of men;
Won thru the toll of ages, in hovel

Thru misery, tears and anguish, thru
life and death, until
The dawn came up and found you, Sc
cure against the foe,
The hills of hope high DER you, the
world to win below!
Guard We the right to strike! Remem-
Der ancient wrongs,
You've fought for human justice, and
surely that belongs
To you who've made the nation the

In spite of unrelenting toll and less
than-living pay;
Compulsion! God forbid that it should
come within our time,
To rivet chains upon you and brand
your efforts crimei
