WORKERS REALIZE POWER OF UNITY
FOR SPIRITUAL AND ECONOMIC FREEDOM

them to ask more than SO and SO
many farthings for their days work.
At the present time the trade union
is necessary to the real freedom of the
workingman. During the latter part
of the eighteenth century and the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century
there occurred one Of the greatest
revolutions in the history of the
world. 1t was a silent movement; the
newspapers did not speak of it and
the wise men of the time did not even
know that it was happening. This
revolution changed manufacturing,
introduced the steam engine, and
transformed little workshops where
the master had worked with his jour-
neymen and apprentices at the same
bench into huge factories where one
man holds dominion over thousands
Of employees.
The employer can no longer know
all the men in his employ and few, if
any, of those men can hope or expect
to become employers. Each working
man is dependent upon his employer
for his job, but the employer can dis
pense with the services of any one of
the thousand men in his establish
ment. If the workingmen are to be
protected at all they can do so only
by coming together in union and by
making a contract for all.

LABOR ALLIANCE
ORGANIZER DEAD
HERMAN ROBINSON A VIC
TIM OF THROAT CANCER.
Had Been Prominent in Trade Union
Movement for Thirty-five Years;
Was Member of Garment Work
ers Union of America.

NEW YORK, May 20.-The trade
union movement of America has lost
one of its ablest organizers and
spokesman, in the death on May 8
of Herman Robinson, chairman of the
organization department of the Amer
lean Alliance for Labor and Democ-
racy. Mr.. Robinson died of a throat
cancer after a months illness. He
was buried in Washington cemetery
after impressive ceremonies at the
family home, BOT caldwell avenue,
Bronx.
Herman Robinson spent thirty-five
of his fifty-two years in the trade
union movement of this country. He
was an indefatigable organizer and
fluent speaker. More than thirty
years ago he took out a membership
card in the United Garment Workers
of America, and has been a member
ever since. Up to the week of his
death he represented that union in
the Central Federated Union of Great
er New York.
Mr.. Robinson held many of the
most important offices in the gift of
the labor movement For ten years
he handled the finances of the Cen
trail Federated Union of New York.
For thirteen years, ending with the
year lSlU, ne represented tne Amerl-
can Federation of Labor in the East,
filling the position now ably held by
Hugh Frayne, member of the war
industries board. For five years he
held a city office, having been ap-
pointed commissioner of licenses by
the late Mayor William ]. Gaynor.
He was closely identified with the
leadership of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and no important moves
were undertaken without his valua-
BILE advice and assistance. He at
tended numerous conventions of the
A. F. of L. and of the Garment Work
ers, having also served on the gen
eral executive board of his union for
the term 1898-99.
When President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor felt
the need last summer of counteracting
disloyalty in the labor movement, he
selected Herman Robinson as the man
best qualified to do the preliminary
organization work. Mr.. Robinson
spent more than a month in Mime
apolis, where the national conference
was held last September, which re-
suited in the formation of the Ameri-
can Alliance for Labor and Democ-
racy.

BOYS ON THE FARM
U. S. LABOR DEPARTMENT OR
GAMES WORKING RESERVE.
There Are Five Million in U. s. Be-
tween Ages of 16 and 81 Who Can
Help Older Boys on to Berlin.

A drive began on March 10 to en-
list every available boy between the
ages of 16 and Fl for farm work dur
ing the summer months.
The United States boys working
reserve was organized under the de-
partment of labor in May, 1917, as a
war measure. More than 100000
boys were enrolled last year to help
the nation in field and factory and it
is hoped to increase that number this
season to 100000 or more.
Every boy is being asked to line
up against Boche in the battle of
farm production. Every patriotic
farmer is being asked to plant and
produce more food than ever before
in the history of his farm and he must
have help.
1t is estimated that there are s.
100000 boys in the United States be-
tween the ages Of 16 and 81.
The farmer needs the boy helper.
The country needs the farmer. Many
farmers have had to send their sons
of fighting age and have been left
with practically no labor.
More and more men are moving
toward France. More and more food
is needed to keep. them in fighting

TRANSFERS LOSE
TRANSFER STRIKE
JOCKEYED ALL CHANCES
AWAY.
Lured Into Conferences With Herb
George, the Moocher, After Men
Had Situation So Well in Hand
Success Was Certain.

The Denver Transfers, Chauffeurs,
Stablemen and Helpers returned to
work for the transfer companies this
week, with their three weeks strike
a failure. The Transfers lost because
their representatives jockeyed with
Herb George, the Moocher. Any labor
organization in Denver that recog-
nizes Herb George in any degree de-
serves to lose a strike. Now Herb
is sending out a circular letter boast
ing of how he whipped the Transfers.
There was no reason for the Team
sters losing, for at the beginning they
had the fight won. Then their rep
resentatives agreed to confer with
Herb George, and from that moment
the strike was lost.
The men returned to work with
neither wage increase nor recogni-
of the transfer companies being that
they would give the strikers back
their jobs, with the tacit understand
ing that next October, perhaps, the
matter of wages would be considered.
Any labor organization in Denver
that permits representative to dicker
with Herb George should have its
charter taken away and the misrep-
resentatives interned for duration of
the strike. 1t is a matter of record
that in every instance where labor
organizations have permitted Herb
George to be recognized as spokes-
man for employees the strike has been
lost and the men return to work un-
der worse conditions than when they
struck.
Denver Transfers are now working
for from one-third to one-half less
than teamsters in other cities where
the unions insist upon dealing direct
with employing firms, and do not per-
nit Representatives to visit the office
or confer with moochers like Herb
George.

By JOHN MITCHELL.

The student of history and the close
observer of events must feel strong
sense of hopefulness for the future
when he compares the present condi-
tons of life with those which OBJ
tanned in the past. The contrast is
not marked, of course, if yesterday is
compared with today. AS matter
of fact development and evolution
among great masses of people are SO
slow as to be scarcely perceptible un-
less one generation is compared with
come restless and impatient for
greater progress and are even dis
couraged by temporary setbacks, l
feel sure that the permanent gains
we make, the fuller and the growing
recognition which is given to our ef-
forts, justify the hope that advance
ment will be more rapid in the fu-
ture than it has been in the past.
Now, as never before, the working
men and women of our country recog-
nize the potency of united effort and
the real value and purpose of their
trade unions. These unions have
given the workingmen more money,
more leisure, greater safety, and bet
J ter conditions of work and life. The
average workingman now leaves his
work an hour or two earlier than
formerly, there is more money in his
pay envelope, and the mill or factory
in which he tolls is better lighted, bet
ter heated, better safe-guarded, and
| in every way better to work in.
All these things lie on the surface,
however; there are other things
deeper and more important. Man
does not live by bread alone and the
trade union has helped the working
man spiritually as well as physically.
1t has taught workingmen to act to-
gether, to unite for a common end, to
make joint sacrifice, to abide by the
will of the majority, to struggle
against great odds for the sake of an
ideal. 1t has taught workingmen that
| they are related to one another, and
it has preached and practiced soil
| darity.
Workingmen are now united where
! they were once disunited; it is no
longer, each for himself and the
devil take the hindmost;" it is each
| for all and all for each" Ten thou
sand but because if the rights of
the one are invaded the rights of all
! are invaded.
Trade unionism is not thing which
has sprung out of nothing and will
end in nothing; it is not thing which
! belongs only to this generation; it is
part of the evolution of the race.
There was time when working
men had nothing to say about wages,
| hours or conditions of work; they
were slaves, subject to the lash, and
they worked when, where and how
their masters decreed. At another
time they were serfs attached to the
soil and disposed of with the land,
like an old farm building. At an
other period they worked for whom
they wished and at what wages they
could obtain, tho even then it some
] times happened that the law forbade

NO PROFIT IN FALSE PRIDE.

At a meeting held in Washington
to increase the membership of the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes, W. E. Junker of New York
City said: There is too much false
pride attached to the idea of becoming
member of the Federal Employees
Union. Ten years ago the man in blue
jumpers was not afraid of thoro or
ganization of labor, while you govern
ment employees who have been hang
ing back are getting the same pay
you received twenty-five years ago."

RELAX NOT YOUR
EFFORTS UNTIL
VICTORY is WON

Over confidence has cost many
near-winner the victory that was in
his grasp.
The Allies have won tremendous
successes recently in France, not
the least great of which was the
premier operation of the First Amer
lean Army, whose preparation for
battle caused the Germans to hasti
y evacuate the st. Mihiel salient.
The war still is not won. The
Hun will battle fiercely for every
inch of the German soil that must
be occupied before the Kaiser is
forced to the complete surrender that
will end the war.
1t would be fatal to our hopes of
an early victory for America to les
sen its war efforts in the slightest
degree.
American troops are pouring over
seas by hundreds of thousands a
month. American shipyards are
turning out monthly scores of the
ships needed to carry men, NUM-
tions and food overseas. American
food products are feeding all the al
lied armies and much of the allied
civil population in Europe.
Americas war chest must remain
full to overlooking.
The Fourth Liberty Loan will give
America opportunity to voice its war
call:
"We have just begun to fight"
Over-confidence, expressed in any
lessening of the most vigorous war
efforts possible, is playing the Ger
man game, the same game of be-
hind-the-line propaganda which has
won Germany's most notable victory,
the disruption of Russia.
Americas answer to the treachery
of Lenine and Trotsky, who were
paid German gold to surrender a
whole nation to the Boche yoke, must
be an overwhelming over-subscrip-

desiring to take advantage of the
school are requested as matter of
honor to enroll early and attend
regularly.
Persons under l6 years of age

Pupils in the day school can only be
admitted to the night school with
the approval of the principal of the

the day school in which they are
enrolled.
Courses Offered.
NOTE-Registrati will be re

ficient demand. With the exception
of two or three of the special cours-
es, no class will be maintained with
fewer than fifteen bona fide mem
bers. 1t is, therefore, important
that all pupils should enroll on the
opening night. Additional courses
are sometimes organized when there
is sufficient demand.

which included the IA points laid
down by President Wilson, and the
provision that the war must be Wig
orously prosecuted until the Ger
man Armies were driven from the
invaded soil of Belgium and France,
and defeated. Allied Labor is now
a unit on a program that will prove
great contribution to victory and
will insure the carrying into effect
of universal reconstruction pro-
gram without which the enormous
sacrifice made, might have proved
vain.
1t is a wonderful tribute to the
sound wisdom and far-sightedness of
American Labor, and especially Pres
ident Gompers, who despite all at
lacks and Misrepresentation, has
hewed straight to the line. 1t
should clear the atmosphere now
that the stamp of approval of Allied
Labor has been placed on our posi-
ton, those who have been so extreme
ly agitated over our failure to con-
cur in the program referred to,
must either admit their error, or
their guilt of intentional misrepre-
sentation.
The prospect of an early victory
has been FASTENED, and the hopes of
better world frightened by this de-
cision. Labors' power and influ-
ence have been enormously increased
by it. The hands of President Will
son have been strengthened by it,
and when the history of this great
conflict has been written, one of its
brightest pages will record the great
contribution of American Labor.
