The general concensus OF opinion amonI
the forty-seven representing the IRON

Northeastern Pennsylvania, is that il ia
an honor to be on the Wilson and Com.
pany payroll, and that it gives them an
opportunity TO satisfy their own ambi-
ton in life They say that thev like

which stands for idealism and CERTI-
FLED PRACTICE in business.

suading any dealer to buy Wilson and

know that we made a recent test of how
this ham cuts up and we discovered
that there was only one ounce of waste
in the whole ham. We not only certify
as to quality, but we certify TO econ

The pride that Wilson and Company

hasn't a chance on earth OF ever having
a fall because it is too genuine and toe
deep rooted and so entirely Justified

In an editorial on the trade union

good illustration oe organized labor's
policy, which was contumaciously re-
ferred to few years ago as step
at-a-time plan by so-cal)ed revolu
tionists. The Sur says:
Forty or fifty years ago a chess
player by the name of Steinitz in
vented what is known as the modern
style Of chess play It's chief char
acteristic was what he called the ac-
emulation of small advantages.
"The old chess master staked sue
cess on bold and reckless strokes
More often than not they came to
grief Steinitz moved prudently
cautiously, gaining small advantage
here and anotheg there, and finally
winning out through the accumula-
ton of these trifitg advantages. The
Steinitz method has driven out the
old method among the frst-class play
ers. 1t is the style that wins.

the agony. That prevents the return

something for month or two than to
prolong the hesitation for six or eight
months or ay ear. Business now faces
an opportunity for sacrifice, tempor-
arily, of personal profits that the
greater gain may come when the buy

aid the buying movement, can stimu-

the public know it will be met half

Washington, D. C.-The beautiful
panel given by the British Trade I'm
ion Congress for the American FEEDER
alton of Labor Building here has ar
rived in America
The panel was brought back on the
steamer with President Gompers and
his fellow delegates who have just
returned
One of the worlds art masterpieces
the panel is massive affair. An al
legorical story is told by figures in
bas relief. 1t will be installed in the
Federation headquarters building here
but may first be exhibited at the
Atlantic City convention.
1t was the purpose of the British
Trade Union Congress to have the
panel reach America in time for the
dedication of the building, but the
outbreak of hostilities in 1914 put a
stop to plans to ship the treasure and
made it impossible to get it to Ameri-

In peace the union label aims TO be
ever alert, ever accomplishing results.
In defensive warfare it is the most
powerful weapon in the arsenal of
labor, and when the battle is on it
attacks the enemy in his rear, cap
lures his base of supplies, and brings
victory to the standard of unionism.
1t is the one and only fetch of the
labor movement, an idolatry revealing
the purest of hearts and the sanest
of minds.
The attributes of the union label
shine with the cardinal tenets of fair
play, shorter hours and reliable goods.
From it's inception it became a trade
promoter. 1t gave work to its crafts
men, but its vital principle was edu-
cation.

We often hear the expression from
some of the drys what are you go
ing to do when the old town goes dry. "
From careful investigation and inter-
mingled Will. some direct informa-
ton it is the drys who are worrying
themselves mostly about it. The fell
low who has always been wet and
who has had the courage to admit it,
need have nothing to worry about. If
there is anything floating around he
will get his share of it. But the 9TH
er fellow, the one who has signed all
the dry petitions, attended all the dry
meetings and who has sneaked around
and bought his with the excuse that
he wanted it for sick friend, that's
the fellow who is worrying now about
the old town going dry. They are
Just waking up to the fact that it will
be dry for them. Yes, very dry.

When men were compelled to work
from sun up to sun down wages were
low. Since the shortening of hours
to nine and the inauguration of the
Saturday half holiday wages have
been on the increase. The univer-
sal eight hour day will increase wag-
es still more This is advocated and
proven by the union men and women
that are working the short hours.
Of course we have some overtime
hogs that cannot see it and never
will, but the manufacturer sees it
and that is the reason he opposes it.

SENSATIONAL GAINS
Have Been Made BY Butcher
WOrkmen
M ma M M aa

Chicago-One Of the most sensa-
tional records in The history of the
trade union movement has been made
by the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen since July 1917
At that time the unions member
ship was $500 with debt of over
$4,000. At the convention in that year
dual organization was discontinued
and the butcher workmen, now united,
started on an organizing campaign,
aided by the A. F. of l.. and its affil-
late, the Chicago federation of labor
In 18 months the membership has in
creased from $500 to 100000, collec-
tive bargaining secured and the work
day changed from 10 and II hours
to eight hours, with extra pay for
overtime Wages have been increas-
ed approximately SO per cent, the to-
tai amount being about $40,000,000.
These gains rave been secured
through arbitration after the union
strengthened it's lines to the point
where a successful strike was possible
if living conditions were refused.
The Butcher Workman, official pa
per of this organization, makes the
following comment on these skyrock-
ct gains:
During this comparatively brief
space of time our international body
brought emancipation from virtual
slavery, a more adequate wage, the
long denied opportunity for sufficient
rest and recreation and consequent
social and educational advancement,
recognition of organized effort, the
/ stubbornly contested privilege of col
lective bargaining and more humane
working conditions to over 100000
packing house workers throughout the
United States"

Of a United States soldier unlawfully
for he was sentenced by Judge II. B,
Howe in United States court to six
months in the house of correction, in an
swer to his plea of guilty. He was ar
rested Wednesday by United States Dep
uty Marshal Thomas Reeves, following
an Investigation started by the author
tiles at Fort Ethan Allen.
Gregory claims to be Frenchman, al
though he also states that both his par
ents are Italians. He figures other
things out, according to a style of his
own. He got into Burlington the latter
part of January and was then dressed in
a soldiers uniform. He applied to the
Red Cross for aid ana later went to the
police, who sent him to the hospital
at Fort Ethan Allen. There he was
treated for a time, but the officers be-
came suspicious of him and on investiga
tion became satisfied that he was an i'm.

ney Bullard had the man arrested.
He at first pleaded not guilty, but
later decided that he was. His story
was that he was doped in New York
City and woke up with the uniform and
some money. He took trip to Mont
real, where he was doped again and this
time he woke up without the money. He
then tried to use the uniform for trans

NO ONE WAS STRUCK
BY THE BULLETS
Two Officers Were Hit by
Stones and Bottles, and
Several in Crowd Were
Struck Down by the PO-
licemen's Clubs-Twenty-
Two Arrests Made.

Lawrence, Mass, March lS.-While the
police were trying to break up parade
of textile workers to-day, shots were
fred from tenement houses, officers were
stoned, and persons in the crowd dubbed.
Many arrests We're made. 1t was the
most violent disturbance that had oc-
CURED since the strike began six weeks
ago
The strikers had picketed the mills
during the opening hours. After they
left the mill district when the gates were
closed, they gathered at the corner of
Union and Common streets and formed
a column for parade. At the head of
the line, according to City Marshal T. j.
O'Brien, who observed the preparations
through heavy fog, were red flags. He
summoned reserves from police headquar-
ters and ordered the crowd to disperse.
The gathering held its ground and from
the outskirts stones and bottles were
thrown.
Shots were fired from a house on Elm
street, but no one was hit. Officers forced
their way through the crowd and arrest
ed all occupants of the building. Mean
time, other policemen and strike symps-
thizers mixed in a melee in which many
were injured Officers clubs struck down
several in the crowd, and two officers
were hit by stones or bottles.
Twenty-Five arrests were made, nearly
all on charges of melting to riot.
William R. Carey, a mounted police
man, fractured his shoulder when he was
thrown from his horse while endeavoring
to break up the crowd. Officer Martin
Dunn was struck on the head by a stone
Pasquale Augusta, striker, who was
arrested yesterday after the shooting OF
Dominica Papalardo at a soup kitchen
conducted by the strike committee, plead.
ed not guilty to-day to a charge of as.
sault with intent to kill. Because Papa.
lardo's condition was reported as critical
the case was continued for a week
When those arrested to-day were ar
raigned on charge OF rioting, 81 men
pleaded not guilty, and bonds were set at
$500 for hearing on March 26. The
charge against another person arrested
was dropped.
Captain J. J, Sullivan of the police told
The court that red flags were waved at
the parade. Outside the court room strike
leaders denied any red flag had been dis,
played.
Most Of those arrested appeared in
court with battered heads. The condi.
tion of one, Salvatore Cuzvardo, was
found to be so serious that he was re-
moved to a hospital.
