WHAT HAS HAPPENED
TO THE SOUTHWEST
BY Z. d. r. A

A six weeks trip around the cities
of the Southwest has revealed some III
teresting things. In this region. espec-
tally in the desert cities, prices Of
food were generally 50 far IN excess
Of prices in other parts Of the coun-
try as to make very striking diffed-
ence. Now one discovers, not only
working people, but business men, re-
marking on the fact that il has been
almost impossible to raise prices for
some time past in line with other parts
of the country Some influence. seems
to have been at work to prevent the
usual upward tendency. Even when
the railroad men received a raise IN
wages something which in the past
has been the signal for immediate adj
vances- everyone agrees that THIS
time prices did not advance as former
ly. Railroad men themselves COM
ment on this and on the fact that
many articles began to be cheaper
sometime ago.
What is the answer to this? Again,
workers and merchants are in agree
ment as to the cause. although they
view the cause with different emo
tons. The worker attributes it to the
fact that in every city in the South
west, cooperation is now the live is
sue. Stores have been started, or the
threat of store is uppermost in the
minds Of the people. The worker re-
joices at even the talk of cooperation
which is sufficient to warn profiteers
to practice greater moderation.
The merchant admits his inability
to raise prices when he wishes and
feels entitled to-and likewise bIames
the spread of cooperation. Only a
few weeks ago. retail merchants met
in Phoenix. Arizona. to devise means
to protect themselves against the grow
ing menace of cooperation.
A new social consciousness is de
veloping in these scattered commune
ties, isolated as many Of them are. 1t
is a cooperative community FEELING.
Thinkers Of all kinds-labo union
lists. socialists, radicals-are planning
to work in practical unity in the coop
erative movement. Not always Of
thought, to be sure; but certainly Of
action. Here they are pooling their
energies. IF the little development Of
sane and conservative business the
Southwest has seen can do this much
for us, what tremendous possibilities it
has! If the movement has but fair
chance to grow. we will be rejoicing,
not merely at the successful establish
rment of cooperative stores, but also
at the development and operation Of
cooperative banks and factories and
the production of raw material

Union shops where service and prices
are on nearer parity. In the mean
time Union men will not forget.
Neither will their friends. They will
patronize no meat market that does
not display the N shop card.
Alliance Butts In.
After all is said and done the Citi-
zens' Alliance has very little reason,
from the standpoint of even the most
ardent "open shopper" to mix UP In
the meat cutters strike. The Union
shop is only a voluntary issue in that
strike. The proprietor has the option
of taking the so-called "open shop
If he wants it. The real issue is the
right to collectively barg in. The Cas-
ser company woule deny 1t, as would
the Marshall-Wellss company, the Du-
luth Street Railway company, the Steel
trust and such antedeluvians as L. G..
Harris who have no relationship what
soever with industry or employing nt.
Union labor has no fear Of the con-
sequences of this attack that is being
made on it. The majority of the peo-
pie, believe in labor organizations.
They may not always agree as to their
methods and tactics, and we confess
we have frequently been vexed be-
cause Of unwise courses that, have
been taken, but taking it all in all the
union labor movement has played a
most important part in saving the ma
ton from the: forces that would sack
NJ he
masses to the very limit. :"
It's Here to Stay.
And organized labor is right here
in Duluth to stay. It will take more
than the money and, power. Of the
cheap labor institutions which consti.
tute the Citizens Alliance, and the
p1eadings of its paid attorney to de-
stroy it. The forward looking employ
ers believe in and are recognizing the
good in collective bargaining. They
are not making any claims about
labor running their business for
they know that the Unions are not
interfering with it's conduct. All they
ask is voice, not the whole voice, but
a. voice. in determining the wages to
be- paid, the hours Of labor and the
conditions of employment-just that
and nothing more.
So, Mr.. Citizens Alliance, go to it.
You will find us at the gateway OF
the labor field to meet you on every
and all occasions. either to make
terms of mutual peace or to defend
with all our might the righteousness
of our cause.

more than the union scale why does
1t have such difficulty in keeping good
m H.? The Gasser market is open from
seven in the morning till six in the
evening on week days and from seven
in the morning till nine O'CLOCK in
the evening on Saturdays. That is a
62-hour vice. The union asks for a.
54-hour week, which is 10 hours longer
every week than obtains in other &C.
Gu. lions where the workers are as
we'll organized.
Strikebreaking Wages.
It is understood that the Gasser
company expressed a willingness to
give each of it's meat cutters one full
day off in the week. This would re-
duce the actual working time to So
hours a. week for which meat cutter
would be paid, should the company
agree to the union scale, at least $35
a week. The same workman In a Union
shop. employed. in exactly the same
period and hours would be paid at
least $36 for his work. If the Gasser
company is paying more than $35 a
week now the excess is merely strike
breaking wages. Higher than union
wages were not offere7 or paid before
the strike.
Meat markets desiring the Union
shop card naturally were required to
agree that they would give employ
ment only to Union men. Such a pro-
posal was not made to the Gasser
company as the union did not believe
its trade would demand the Union
card. The Citizens Alliance is giving
the Gasser company its full support
and it is urging its friends to patronize
his so-called "open shop" and others
In the same position. OF course if the
enemies of labor want to patronize the
Gasser shop and pay the Gasser price
for their meat that is their business.

mo authority rests with anyone in

officers Of the labor movement are

the scope of the duty of the officers
OF the labor movemest. however. to-
say, as has been said, that the facts
constitute a showing of superiority on
the part Of the Democratic platform
and on the part Of the Democratic
candidate for the presidency.
There have been few presidential
elections in the history Of America in
which the issues were as vital to the
great masses Of our people, few in
which the decision OF the voters car
ried with it possibilities of such grave
consequence.
For Whom to Vote:
''The interest of the great masses
Of our people can be best served only
by the election. at the conclusion +
this campaign, Of the candidate whose
declarations and whose record offer
the best assurance Of intelligence and
integrity in the future. It is vital that
there be success for the candidate and
the platform which best understands
the needs Of the people and which
most fully and most honestly pledges
their satisfaction.
''The Republican convention turned
it's back upon Labor and in so doing
turned its back upon all Of our people
except for that small minority which
finds its occupation in the exploita-
ton Of the masses through special
opportunities and special privileges.
Every American worker, every
earnest American citizen devoted to
the cause Of human progress and with
a faith in the righteousness of the
principles Of freedom, Justice, and de-
mocracy must strike ardently for the
defeat of those who have turned their
backs upon Labor and upon the peo-
pie generally and for the success OF
those who have attempted to meet
with understanding and in a spirit OF
constructive progress the problems OF
