THANKS FOR FAVORS

The Leader desires to thank its
many friends for the generous and
hearty support and encouragement so
freely given even before the first
number Of the paper was printed, and
which has constantly increased and
grown stronger since that time.
All the local unions of Newark are
in hearty accord with the manage
ment of the paper and are sparing no
effort to aid in increasing its con-
stantly growing subscription list.
Recently many of the locals have
been visited by representatives of the
paper, and in each instance they were
most cordially received and assured
that the policy of the Leader was en-
dorsed, and was giving general salts
faction. In evidence of their con-
tinued friendship the following locals
have sent large lists of new sub
scribers secured by committees ap-
pointed for that purpose by their re-
spective unions: Flint Glass Workers
No. 30, Boiler Makers and Helpers No.
go Iron Molders No. 205, B. & O..
Carmen No. 705, Bottle Blowers No.
"a, B. & o. Boiler Makers, B. &. O.
Pipemen, BARRIERS No. ia, Carpenters
No. 1856, O. r. C. The Brewery Work
ers Local No. 1862 renewed their sub
scliption in a body. The Leader in
tends to visit every local in the city
and personally thank them for their
cooperation and assistance in making
their labor paper a powerful and per-
manent institution.

A LITTLE MORE PEP, FOLKS

Too much of the argument in be-
half of the several Liberty Loans has
been upon the defensive. Too much
stress has been laid upon the pro
spect of the Kaiser's coming over
here and collecting a huge indemnity.
Too many grewsome pictures have
been painted of what the blood-mad
Huns will do once they reach Ameri-
can shores.
In considering the other fellow
the Kaiser and his hordes - we've
forgotten our own part in the fray.
We've slipped up on our own ag-
gressiveness.
No one in America, no true Ameri-
can, believes for a minute that the
Kaiser will ever invade our shores.
No true American believes the Kaiser
has a chance to win. All of us agree
that America will fight to the last
man. For America isn't quitter,
once she takes up the cudgels.
But we have fallen down in ag-
gressiveness. We haven't taken the
position consistently that we want to
win this fight and win it quickly.
And that is just the one thing we
really want to do.
We don't want any five or ten
years more of this carnage. We
don't want our fathers and sons and
brothers subjected to the horrors of
war minute longer than is neces-
sary to clean up a nasty job. We
want to punish the enemy neatly and
with dispatch. And to do it means a
big financial sacrifice for all of US.
That's the thing we should be
driving home.
The President has declared for no
limit upon the army. We should de-
clare for no limit upon our individual
sacrifice. We should get ready to do
our very utmost to make wholly eff
fective any army our country may
send abroad.
You and | and the other fellow, we
loyal and liberty loving folks who
will stay at home, must help as best
we may to keep America from losing
her punch. And that punch is in the
army we are sending abroad, the
army that has been showing the Huns
lately that it knows how to hit back
straight from the shoulder.
Let's get our dander up.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-07-26
ORGANIZE

The necessity Of organization was
never greater than at the present
time. 1t is absolutely essential, not
only with labor, but in any other
line of industry.
The colonies of North America re-
allied the necessity of banding them
selves together, that they might be
better able to face the world and get
the things they desired, and especial
ly their Freedom.
Abraham Lincoln, and his CO.
workers, saw the necessity of keeping
this Union intact, even at the loss of
many lives and much suffering.
The United States Government re-
Gently showed its faith in organiza-
tion by consolidating the railroads of
the country and putting into effect
various other organizations having
to do with the effective prosecution
of the war.
In fact, in any line of endeavor,
organization is one of the most es-
sential elements entering into it's sue
cessful operation.
Capitalists are organized for their
mutual protection. Labor must or
ganize for the same purpose.
There are today many workers in
this city yet unorganized, which
should begin now, while work is
plentiful, to put themselves in a po-
sition to take care of their interests
in the future. We cannot urge too
strongly the necessity for organiza-
ton, not for the purpose or with the
idea in mind of calling a strike to
bring about results desired, but to
put yourselves in a position to ask
for fair treatment in the matter Of
wages, hours, etc.

ADVERTISING IN A LABOR
PAPER.

PRINTERS INK, the recognized
authority on advertising, after thor
rough investigation on the subject,
says:
"a labor paper is a far better ad-
vertising medium than an ordinary
newspaper in comparison with circu-
latiOn. A labor paper, for example,
having 1000 subscribers is of more
value to the business man who ad-
vertises in it than an ordinary paper
with 10000"
The Leader is the workingman's
paper and is subscribed for and read
by larger percentage of laboring
people than any other paper in New
ark. Advertisers are deserving of
patronage-and get it.

TWO CONTRACTS

We are submitting to our readers
what we believe to be the best argu-
tment that can be presented in favor
of the combining of workingmen to
trades unions.
The argument is in the shape of a
reproduction of two contracts, one
being that formulated by the union
street car men Of Dayton and the
other being the compulsory instru-
ment which must be signed by each
applicant for a position at the Metal
Products Company.
There is a section in each contract
covering the discharge of employees.
These sections are as follows:
Street Car (UniOn) Contract
"Section 3. Should any member
of the association be suspended or
discharged for any cause, and after
investigation by the company and the
association is found not guilty as
charged, he shall be reinstated and
pdlu lOI dill IlIIl6 lOSG VII c1SCOuIIC VI
such suspension or discharge"
Metal Products (NOn- UniOn) Contract
"Section /. The company reserves
the right, without notice, to change
the rate of wages set forth in this
agreement, or to discharge said en-
ploye at any time"
These two contracts represent the
difference between the union and the
non-union shop, and what sane man
would deliberately elect to work
under the conditions imposed by the
latter as opposed to the former con-
tract? If calm reason convinces him
that union conditions are the best,
then why continue to work under the
Objectionable contract when respon-
sibility for the existence of those
conditions rests with the man and
not with the employer?
The day has passed when men can
excuse their own timidity, or perhaps
we may as we'll use the proper word
-cowardice-by loudly declaiming
against the employer for not grant
ing them the conditions or paying
the wages to which they think they
are justly entitled. AS has often
been stated in these columns, en-
ployers will continue to hire cheap
men as long as men persist in being
cheap.
The trades union offers the only
solution to the problems of the work
er. None of the isms, or cults or
vagaries of fantastic minds has ever
added one cent to the pay envelope,
has ever reinstated a man who had
been unjustly discharged, or has ever
shortened the work day by so much
as minute. The trades union will
not cure all the economic or indus
trial ills, but it is the only known
remedy that will work an improve
ment in all cases, and the remedy is
free to all who care to take it.
