4 GOOD INVESTMENT.

Union Funds Constitute an Investment
For Those~Who Build Them.
The one thing which employers fear
in labor organizations is power. Power
{ is necessary to make these organiza-
tons effective. Some employers have
officially Endorsed labor organizations
Of the proper kind OF course, the
proper kind in their estimation is the
carefully expurgated editions from
which all evidences of power have
been carefully repressed. Such institu-
lions would be labor organizations in
name only.
Only where organizations have power
do they have effectiveness in bringing
betterment into the lives of their men,
bers Power cannot exist unless there
exist the sinews and munitions for sus.
tanned insistence upon demands and
rights. The power of an organization
is related in very vital sense to men,
bership and to the dues paid into the
union treasury.
Those organizations which are Wig
orous and powerful to promote the well
being of their members are invariably
those organizations which have estab-
lished high dues. Union funds consti.
tute kind of insurance for those who
constitute them. Considered from a
business viewpoint, there is no invest
ment that will give so high rate of
returns as union dues.
When the resources of an organiza-
ton are ample, wage movements may
be undertaken with a spirit of conf
dence and independence that has a
helpful reaction upon recalcitrant en-
ployers.
Resources facilitate the extension Of
organization which in turn increases
the power of the organization through
increasing solidarity. Union resources
put confidence into the unorganized to
incur risks resulting from enlistment
In the ranks of the organized Union
resources protect the workers from
wage reductions and poorer conditions
of work because the power of self de-
Tense constitutes real argument
against injury or provocation of con
test,
A low dues paying policy is not prof,
table or wise policy for organized
labor Indeed, 1t would be good bust
ness sense to increase dues with every
wage increase. The wage increase was
due to organization, and stronger or
ganization will In turn bring other
wage increases.
AS union dues are increased more
benefits can be made increasingly help
full and can be extended ia variety
These benefits can be managed by the
organizations more cheaply and more
satisfactorily than similar insurance
can be furnished by state or private
agencies. Assuring the unions control
over these benefits removes all doubt
of such assistance in Industrial dis
putes.
Labor organizations embody an IDEAL
but that ideal must rest upon a practi-
cal basis If the ideal Is to become real
ity. The practical resources to make
any ideal reality depend in some de-
gree upon the financial resources at
command. The question of higher dues
Is one of fundamental Importance to
all workers. 1t is matter that must
not be pushed aside. 1t is matter
that should be given most careful and
wise consideration. 1t is a fundamen-
tal.matter, because the dues paid In a
large measure determine the power
which the organization exercises for
the cause of human welfare - -

How did we get the word fiIibuster?
One account is that it came from the
word "filibote" or "vly-bote." Another
Is that it was given to the followers
of Dominique de Gourgues, who sailed
from Finisterre, France, on the ia
nous expedition against Fort Caroline
in 1867. Still another account of its
origin is that the word was merely
equivalent to the word buccaneers"
and in describing the West Indies buc-
cancers of 1854 Dutch writer says
that one class Of them denominated
"rovers' were in the English lam
guage known as ''filibusters," from the
Englis. word f'filibuster,' which meant
rover" Its use In deliberative bodies
was one OF analogy with its original
meaning. as applied to bodies of rowing
