By SAMUEL GOMPERS

President American Federation of Labor
The steady normal growth which the
American Federation Of labor has made
during the past year is another evidence
of the soundness of tie principles upon
which organization is based and of the
effectiveness OF the methods used in ex-
tending organization. In 1851, when the
A. F. of L. was first organized, it rep
resented $1,000 trade unionists- The
average membership for the past year is
the highest ever reached in its history
2,072,702 There are still n few left OF
those who were pioneers in the move
ment and who lived thru that time when
to be a member of Organized labor was
TO be a social outcast, marked, victim
lied man, regarded almost as an outlaw,
but they were workers inspired by the
ideals of trade unioni, m, who stood by
the cause thru hard lighting, hardships
and tremendous self-sAcrifices
Those of us who toiay are benefited
by the strength and tie effectiveness of
the labor movement owe an incalculable
debt to those who were the pioneers in
the movement, not only for what they
suffered, but for the vision that they
had and for the spirit of freedom and
the yearning for industrial justice which
actuated their every purpose.
The labor, movement has its roots In
the depths of human misery; it extends
upward to freedom and light, and there
is no limit to the ideals which il seeks
to attain. II is something more than
an economical movement; it yields the
realm of idealism to no others; its foun-
dation is economic, and its economic pur-
poses are TO secure the human being the
opportunity and the necessary economic
means for achieving heir ideals. The
whole organization and all of its agencies
are not ends in themselves, but exist for
the purpose of giving reality to ideals.
Not only has the a +. of l. grown
in numbers during the past year. but it
has extended its influence to workers OF
callings that had never before given Sc
rious consideration to economic organi-
zation. This development is significant
of the increasing appreciation among
workers-among all OF those who do
creative labor-that the fundamental
principles of economic justice are iden-
teal for all, and that there arc COM
mon interests that unite those who do
the worlds work
\ powerful economic organization or
cooperative action among all those who
work constitutes an effectual check upon
those who desire to exploit the workers
and to deprive them OF just returns for
their labor.
During the past year the organiza.
tion of wage-earners thruout America
has been more closely unified than ever
before. The long-expected affiliation or
the Bricklayers. Masons and Plasterers'
International Union of America has II.
nally been accomplished. and we earnest
ly hope that the time ia not far distant
when all of the great national organiEa-
tions in the country will be affiliated
together in one grand national labor
movement.
Our slogan for the present year will
be the organization of the yet unorgan-
ized and the union of all organizations.

PURCHASE OF LABOR TEMPLE SITE
IS CALLED OFF FOR The PRESENT
Difficulty Transfer of Curtis Street Lots Causes Change
of Plans; Campaign for Stock Subscriptions
to Be More Vigorous

The labor Temple Association Com.
mittcc has decided not TO complete the
purchase OF the building site IL had under
consideration on Curtis, between Eigh-
tecnth and Nineteenth streets. Some
difficulties arose over the proposed tran
saction which made il advisable to call
the deal off.
At the last meeting several prominent
members of building trades unions were
present and took an active part in the
proceedings, and have volunteered to ac-
lively support the campaign for stock
pledges.
Several unions Ind made payments on
their stock subscriptions, and their
checks have been returned.
A large number OF active unionists
have been secured to assist the commit
tee in visiting the local unions, explain
ing tho project to the members and Wig
orously pushing the Temple campaign.
With the beginning Of new year the
union members interested In the welfare
of the movement believe that this year
ought TO end with Denver unions having
completed their Temple campaign, and
tho only thing necessary for this Is the
active cooperation of the members OF
local unions.

Washington. - Montana wheat has
suffered somewhat unjustly, say spe-
cialists in the United States depart
ment of agriculture, from the fact that
it is still regarded by many millers
and buyers as a newcomer" It's rep.
utation has not been so firmly estab-
lished as yet that the trade is very
sure of it, and in consequence the de-
mand is weak enough to keep the
price low in comparison with wheat
of the same grade from other local..
ties
These conditions, it is believed, will
be gradually removed as the industry
in the state grows in Importance.
This growth has already been. most
marked. The production of 1912, for
example, was three times as great as
that in 1909.

To Prevent Old Age
Coming Too Soon !

aTo1ic poisons in the blood are thrown
out by the kidneys. The kidneys act as
filters for such products. If we wish to
prevent old age coming too soon and in
crease our chances for long life, we should
drink plenty of pure water and take a
little Anuric," says the world-famed Dr.
Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
When suffering from backache; fro
ouent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains
here or there, or that constant tired,
worn-out feeling, the simple way to over
come these disorders is merely to obtain
a little Anuric from your nearest drug
gist and you will quickly notice the grand
results. You will find 1t many times
more potent than ithia, and that it
dissolves uric acid as hot water does
sugar.
