UNITED IN SPIRIT AND PURPOSE
By PRESIDENT GOMPERS, in American Feed ationist

Will the battle line of freedom hold
against the onslaughts of autocracy's
military machine? This is the ques-
tion uppermost in the minds of liberty
loving men the world over. The an
swer is: 1t will, it must! For upon
that line hangs the destiny of the
world for decades to come The line
can hold back the offensive and drive
the invaders out of the republic of
France only if it is the concentrated
expression of national determination
unfailingly supplying men, munitions,
food and every accoutrement required.
Workers of America, the safety of
that battle line in France depends
mainly now upon us. We must fur
nish the majority of those in the
trenches. We must build the ships
that carry the troops and munitions
of war. Regardless of hidden dan
gers, we must maintain the life line
of ships on the high seas which con-
meet the fighting front with our ma
tional bases Of supplies. We must
make the guns, the munitions, the
aeroplanes. We must have ready
food, clothing, blankets. We serve
in the great industrial army that
serves overseas with the fighting
forces.
We must do all these things be-
cause a principle is involved that has
to do with all we hold dear.
We~are fighting against a govern
ment that disregards the VIII of the
governed-a government that prizes

We are fighting for the ideal which

We are fighting for political and eco

We are fighting for the right TO

WOMEN ARE BRITAIN's GUESTS.

With the return of Agnes Nestor
to Chicago from her two and one-haf
months of service in Washington as
a member of Secretary of Labor Viii
sons advisory council-upon the COM
pletion of the task assigned to that
body-Zshe was greeted with an invi-
tation presented at the suggestion of
Samuel Gompers, president Of the A.
+. of l., to be one Of party Of
Americans, including a group repre-
senting labor, 10 be the guests Of the
British government on a visit to Great
Britain and France. After serious
consultation with her fellow workers
in Chicago. Miss Nestor decided that
this invitation offered a very great
opportunity for service and fellow
ship with the men and women of labor
overseas. Miss Melinda Scott of the
New York Women's Trade Union
League received a like invitation,
which she too has accepted. No trade
union women have thus far been in
cluded in the various labor missions
from other countries to America. We
rejoice that two of the finest and most
representative women of the labor
world in America will carry our mes
sage of fellowship first hand TO the
workers in Great Britain and France.

those for whom fellow citizens have
offered their lives-their all.
We must give this service without
reserve until the war is won, serving
the cause of human freedom, intelli-
gent, alert, uncompromising wherever
and whenever the principles of human
freedom is involved.
We are in great revolutionary
period which we are shaping by mold
ing every day relations between man
and man. Workers of America as
well as all other citizens have diff
cult tasks to perform that we might
hand on to the future the ideals and
institutions of America not only un-
impaired, but strengthened and puri-
fed in spirit and in expression-thus
performing the responsible duty of
those entrusted with the high resolve
to be free and perpetuate freedom.

STRIKES ARE FEW
FACTS ARRAYED AGAIN IT
NOISY PUBLICITY SEEK ERS.
Poor Housing Accommodations and
Job Changing Now Chief Evidences
of Unrest, Says Labor Secretary

Secretary of Labor Wilson has ar
rayed facts against the noisy claims
of publicity seekers who insist that
the nation is seething with strikes.
In an address at Philadelphia last
week before the American Academy
of Political and Social Science, the
cabinet official said that 1--WE have
fewer labor strikes at the present
time than at any other period within
my recollection, notwithstanding the
fact that it is the period of the year
when strikes are usually most nu-
merous.
There is not a solitary strike in
the coal industry, the packing house
industry, in the oil industry. the lum-
bering industry, the shipbuilding in
dustry, in the steel production, trans
portation, telegraph or telephone sys-
TENS of the country, and only few
strikes of minor Importance in the
textile industry, metal trades, muni-
tions factories and all other produc-
tion enterprises.
TO summarize, the highest eff
cheney can only be obtained by the
proper treatment of the workmen. the
proper planning and management of
the work to be done, the intelligent
mobilizing of the workmen, efficient
means of training the partly skilled
and unskilled in the work they are to
do, complete provisions for sanitation
and safety, comfortable homes, a
working day sufficiently short TO en-
able the worker to return to his work
on each succeeding day fairly re
freshed for the task he has to per
form And more important than all
of those is the spirit of cooperation
of the man who believes he is being
justly dealt with"
Secretary Wilson said the worst
handicap to labor efficiency now is
the heavy turnover in industry
caused by men becoming easily dis
satisfied with jobs and moving from
place to place. Poor housing accom-
modations, he said. are at the bottom
Of much Of this dissatisfaction.

SENT IT TEN TIMES.

The young government clerk who
got a raise in his salary and accord
ingly decided at once TO pop the ques-
ton to the idol of his heart by tele-
graph. apparently chose well, as her
thrifty reply shows.
Rushing to the telegraph office. he
directed that a message be sent to
his Home Town Girl" apprising her
of his recent good fortune and asking
her to become his better half. He
had long been contemplating the step,
but because of his limited revenue had
not dared to take it.
He paid for his message and pre-
paid a reply at the minimum fee.
which of course, would limit her reply
to ten words. He waited anXiously at
the telegraph office for few minutes
and was then rewarded with this re
ply:
Yes, gladly. willingly, joyfully, de
hghtedly, gratefully, lovingly. Yes,
yes, yes."-Exchange

ANY CHuMP C.N KNOCK.

Don't criticize Jour neighbor's faults,
no matter what they do;
Don't ridicule the masses, or mahgn
the chosen few;
Don't think yourself a censor of the
silly human flock
And just remember as you go, that
any chump can knock.
Don't laugh at those who make mis-
takes, or stumble by the way,
For you are apt TO follow them-and
almost any day.
Don't think the others shifting sand
while you are solid rock
And don't forget, for heavens sake,
that any chump can knock.
Don't be a puller-down Of fame on
other men conferred;
Don't give a parting kick TO one who
fell because he erred,
Don't think that you are perfect and
the only size in stock
And now, once more, just bear in mind
that amp chump can knock!

LAwsoN's LUDLOW ADDRESS.
NEW YORK, May /. 1918.

NEW YORK, May l. 1918.
Mr.. Clint c. Houston. Editor The Den
yer Labor Bulletin, Denver. Colo.
Dear Sir and Brother: In the issue
of The Denver Labor Bulletin for Sat
urday. April 27, 1918, there appears
the address of John r. Lawson, who
spoke at the fourth anniversary of the
Ludlow massacre commemorative eN-
ercises.
The speech of Brother Lawson is a
vivid recital of the dastardly attempt
of the plunder bund to annihilate
those who stand for labor's principles.
They believe that might makes right,
and the money, the influence and the
big power that they yield would
crush those who advocated labor's
principles, and with the bodies of
those sacrificed in that memorable
massacre, would be buried the hopes
and the aspirations of those who had
fought for the working people; not
that they might become millionaires,
not that they would be powerful, die
tating the policies of the legislature
of the state of Colorado. but that they
might live in peace with some OF the
comforts Of this life coming to them
by their labor and that they might be
able to see their offspring brought up
in such n way that they could be
fitted for life that would not be
as hari lot. that would not be as
difficult as the parents of the children.
Brother Lawson states that there
may be a monument built to mark
the spot where those brave men died,
where the women and children per-
ished in the black hole at Ludlow, but
il will also mark the time when inter-
national officers of that once great
union have stopped to the lowest
depths of political degradation.
Now, this is a hard saying, and it
is either right or wrong. There are
many. many, many persons thruout
the great Western states of this glor
ious land of ours who believe that it
is truth. and it is too bad that the
international president of the United
Mine Workers of America is serving
in an advisory capacity at Washing
ton, relative to those matters that
vitality affect the working people of
this fair land of ours. | believe that
If the international officers of the
United Mine Workers of America do
not want to straiChten out the bad
conditions they left in Colorado, if
they want to let them continue, if
they want TO minimize the woeful
effect of their actions at the last ref
erendum election for officials, l say.
then. if they do, that it is high time
for those who have labor's principles
at heart to see that the president of
the United Mine Workers of America
is not placed in an advisory capacity
at Washington, and looked upon as
man true to the principles of organ
ized labor.
Fraternally yours,
FRANK A. BYRNE.
