he had union card in his pocket-that only made
him a union scab. The man who is about to be
hung will not be con1forted by the knowledge that
the rope bears the union label.
One result of this strike ought to be, and will
be, mighty stimulant to industrial unonism
throughout the transportation industry. What
better object lesson could be given for the need OF
one union on the railroads ? To get the One Big
Union idea planted in the minds Of railroad men,

The Government At Work
1t is safe to say that the switchmen know
great deal more now about the nature of the gov
elnment than they did at the outset Of the re-
volt Many of them had served it in the recent
world slaughter engineered by the exploiters OF
labor more of them helped it by hitting the ball"
a little harder on the job-al with the idea that
the government really represented them; that it
was their friend and protector. Consequently it
scarcely occurred to them that when the time came
for them to fight for bread they would find this
powerful instrument of physical force arrayed
against them. How quickly they were disillusoned!
Arrests, indictments and intimidation confronted
them at every turn. Their natural leaders force
full, honest men who sprang up out of the ranks
to place the criminals who betrayed them-were
bounded and prosecuted and denounced by Attor-
ney-General Palmer and his army of bloodhounds.
The wage commission, appointed by President
Wilson under pressure Of the strike, ignored the
real union of the workers choice-The Yardmen's
Association and negotiated exclusively with the
traitor organizations, the Switchmen's union and
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.
Experience is the best teacher, says the old
proverb Here is experience enough to teach a
lesson about the government that should never
be forgotten by those whosyame in direct conflict
with it. They have seen il in action stripped Of all

OLD FRIENDS

What has become of Ragged Dick" and Tom the Bootblack" and the rest of Horatio Alger's poor but honest boys without whom once no public library was complete? .
 Inquiries at most public libraries will show that these boyhood friends of men who are now thirty have been banished from the shelves and their places taken by young heroes who in the last quarter win foot ball games when they are all but lost; or who do wonders with wire less machines; or who invent sew- fangled airplanes.
 Two generations of men treasure as cherished memories the long va cation days of boyhood passed in the inspiring company of Alger's tattered heroes who always made good There were Ragged Dick who in the last chapter married the bankers daughter and lived in a brown stone mansion on Fifth Ave nue and Joe the Peddler" who be- came the junior partner in the firm of the man whose daughter he res eued; and Tom the Bootblack," who by thrift and industry rose to fame and fortune; and a host of others.
 Of all the new company of boy wonders who now fill the shelves of the children's romms of public li- braries which one will live so long in the minds of their admirers as the Alger boys who are off the shelves, but are held so fondly in memory.

to use a portion of this fund for the
