WELFARE OF WORKERS
DEPENDS UPON UNION

LONDON, England, Oct. 24.-The
recent English railway strike was
not caused by organized labor, but
by 'disorganized labor-mere bol-
shevism"-says Reynolds Newspaper.
This publication, which is amo,.g
the most forward. Iookingmin Eng
land, declares that the welfare OF
the workers depends upon strict
observance of trade union methods.
I'VE have firm and unalterable
conviction" says this paper, that
it is in the power of organized labor
to adjust the bases Of industry in
this country so that it shall receive
a full and just reward for it's exer-
tions, and see that those who have,
for no adequate service, taken. toll
Of the labor Of those who toll shall
find no such chance in the future.
This it may do legally and in pur-
suance of the sound principles on
which trade unionism is based. It's
progress will be like the march of
a disciplined army. Anything that
tends to destroy that progress is a
danger to labor. It is not trade
unionism at all, but just bolshevism.
And those who hope to gain from
disorganization and disunion the
things they would gain from unity
Of purpose and action are blind lead
ers of the blind"

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 24.-The
second successive purchase of $4,000
worth of Liberty bonds in six months,
making total of $4,000 in all, is the
record established by the Brotherhood
Relief and Compensation Fund of this
city in buying government bonds in
support of the United States and it's
Allies to stop the Hun.
The announcement came as sur.
prise, as it was generally supposed
that the organization had already in
vested the limit, and the action of the
executive board, which was in brief
session here, in authorizing the second
purchase, was deemed highly signifi-
cant; not only as an indication of
the prosperous condition of the fund,
but of the unquestioned loyalty Of
the workers in support of the govern
ment as we'll.
In explaining the. unexpected ia
vestment, President L. G. Smith,
founder and organizer of the fund
said: 1T is hoped that the duplication
Of the original $4,000 invested by
this* organization ine Liberty bonds
will afford additional incentive to
other organizations and spur them to
invest more of their funds, which it
seems, most of them are unnecessarily
holding in reserve. They should re-
alize that there is no better investment
in the world, and that Liberty bonds
furnish an excellent reserve and are
as good as cash. The Brotherhood
Relief and Compensation fund will
continue to invest similar amounts,
if not more, in all future loans the
government may raise"
He also pointed out that III COM
parison with other organizations and
from the standpoint of membership
they had exceeded considerably the
average invested by organizations
figured on per capita basis. The pay
ment for bonds was made in cash,
and the check for the amount was
placed in the Merchants National
Bank. The bonds will be registered
in the name of the organization, which
was founded here in 1912, and is COM
posed of men in the transportation
service Of the railroads, all of whom
are members of the Brotherhoods. 1t

Congratulation are pouring in from
all parts Of the country for George
L. Berry, president of the Interna-
tional Printing Pressnen and Assist

recent appointment as major in the
Ordnance department of the United
States army. Labor feels itself sig
nally honored by this selection of one
of it's chieftains. to fill an important
governmental post, although mingled
with It is regret that a man Of his
ability and integrity should be taken
even temporarily from the labor field.
AS a member of the American La
Dor Mission, appointed by President
Gompers to visit Europe, Major Berry,
representing the printing trades of the
country, did much to assure the suc-
cess of the mission.
Berry was elected president of the
International Printing Pressmen and
Assistants Union of North America
at the convention in Brighton Beach
in June 1907, and during his term
Of office since then has been tnstru-
mental in establishing the Home for

also the Technical School at Press

During President Berry's admin
istration the membership in the
union increased from 5000 to 40,-
600 and the wage schedule accom-
plished is recognized to be really
extraordinary. Increases of 40 or
SO per cent have been gained and
the number of contracts established
has been increased to remarkable
degree.
The total assets of the union are
over $2.0oo,000 and 1000 members

The WoMEN'S ANSWER TO
THE SENATE MINORITY

The women of the nation are e7i-
IDENTIFY neither daunted nor discour-
aged by the. temporary setback of
the senate's adverse vote. Neither
do they intend to slaken their efforts
one iota in the fight for the fran
chise. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
president Of the National American
Suffrage association, is apparently
more elated over the Presidents en-
dorsement of the women's cause than
she is depressed over the failure Of
the southern men Of his party to
support him. She has issued the fol-
lowing loyal and inspiriting statement
to the country which will officially
stand for the expression of the spirit
of American womanhood:
I'VE are stronger today with the
right and the President and 62 SEN
ators on our side than we were be-
fore. We would rather be defeated
with the President and the 81 than
win with the "a who voted or paired
against our measure. Where the
President stood yesterday, the ma
ton will stand tomorrow.
There is no power on earth that
can defeat woman suffrage in this
| country. We march forward with
i the same unflinching courage which
has sustained the suffragists OF Amer
| 1ca for SO years. eW are glad that
the vote was taken.
