Averages in Weather Records.

Lately the subject Of "long distance
weather forcasting" came in for treat
ment in a spirit more or less of jest. To
ears which have had the patter OF rain in
them almost incessantly since September
began, there was a peculiar incongr1ity
in the statement that after a wet August
such a. Boston had this year, dry
September was likely to follow Proph-
ecy, in this instance, was altogether at
variance with performance
Nevertheless, serious word remains
to be said Of this business Meteorologi.
cal fortune telers the public has had in
abundance, but few of them have been

out and the most thorough effort is
made to reduce them to a tabular form

Labor, Strengthened By
War Record, Is Passing
Through Crucial Period

strate by solidarity and intelligent
action that we are entitled to it.
There is no short cut. We have
got to all go together, and in SO
doing we can nail down every
measure of progress and relief in
such a manner that all forces of
recation and Bourbonism cannot
drive US back.
The chasm between the cost of
living and the purchasing power of
wages is the medium by which
the happiness or misery of the
worker is measured.
No matter how high the money
wage be, if the cost of living has
gone out of proportion, the wage
brings no relief to the worker.
Thus, in those localities where
the workers have organized to pro-
tect their interests through trade
unions and in the Rochdale COOP
erative movement, whereby they
not only have something to say re-
garding wages and conditions of
work, but in establishing the pur-
chasing power of their wages. the
present hysterical state of affairs
falls more lightly than in other 10
calities.
We are not surprised that the
Bourbon, although commencing
labor for its splendid patriotism
during the worlds darkest hours.
has gone back to his stupid pre-
war days.
We have not expected much
from him. and know that human
ity's progress has not been, nor
will it be, gained by his help, but
in spite of his opposition. 1t was
the I. W. W employer who created
the l. w. W. worker. 1t is the old
story of cause and effect.
However, there has been
enough enlightenment permeating
the minds of those high in public
and financial life that an entirely
new survey is being taken of our
social relations, and by intelIi-
gent cooperating with this new
spirit of the times. We can make
progress that is real and lasting.
Fate or circumstances have
placed us on the pedestal of world
leadership. We can. by going
strictly by the rule that two and
two make four" justify and vindi-
cate that position.

fTri-City Labor Review.)


Labor day, 1919, comes at the
most crucial period of Iabor's his
tory It might be termed a field
day for the hosts of labor, from
which a review of all our struggles
and progress might be made.
Looking back through the vistas
Of time it is apparent to everyone
that with all it's splendid achieve
ments and successes, never did
organized labor have more reason
for existence than it now has, nor
never was there more need for it.
Organized labor has steadied the
world in its greatest crisis and or
ganized labor will set the world
right
Economic power is basic power.
All other power is tributary to eco
nomic power. The centers OF
gravity are continually shifting
from the political to the economic
field, and it is this economic con-
troll over the earth and what the
earth contains that measures
mans social status, or lack of it,
be he rich or poor.
Strengthened by War.
Organized labor has come out
of the world war with new achieve
ments and surroundings. and a
strengthened purpose. In no 9TH
er war was labor consulted, or
even seriously considered. The
splendid, patriotic and sensible re-
Spouse of labor to the nations
needs has placed it on plane
where It can be complying with
common sense rules. achieve its
legitimate progress faster than
ever before.
An intensive campaign of organ
ization must be kept up in the
steel and other basic industries.
Agreements arrived at. between
the employers and legitimate la
Dor unions, should be religiousIy
adhered to by both sides.
To treat such agreements as
scraps of paper" by either CAPT
tai or labor, is a denial of every
to which we were COM
mitted in the war against Ger
mania and its hell-born program.
Look for Industrial Democracy.
Industrial democracy is coming

same proportion as we demon
