Foolinq Ex-Seruice Men.

The Building Employers council of Duluth
is attempting to get some cheap advertising
and to win popular favor by offering employ
ment to ex-service men who are out of work.
The former commander Of David Visited
post, American Legion, is quoted as having
given his endorsement to the offer of the
"open shoppers for their magnanmity in
rendering scab Jobs to the boys who went to
France to fight for freedom and democracy.
Ex-service men will not knowingly work at
home to repudiate the principles for which
they fought during the war. The Building EN-
ployers' association of Duluth is an agency of
the anti-unionists to drive democracy from
every local industry and to sQpplant in it's
place form of autocracy as despicable and
tyrannical as that which obtained in Germany
and to the destruction Of which American SOL
diers pledged their lives and their fortunes
NO ex-servlce man who denied himself in
that great conflict consistently refuse to
make another sacrifice now in order that the
ideals tor which he contended as a soldier may
be applied to his life as worker The So
called open shop gives the employer all the say
as to wages, hours and working conditions
The employe has no voice in their making
That is a return to autocracy.
Under the union shop for which the build
ing workers are contending; the employees COL
lectlvely have an equal voice with the en-
ployers in determining the terms and cond-
tlons OF employment. That is democracy in in
dustry. 1t ex-service men should accept the
offer OF the Building Employers council of
Duluth they will but serve as Prussian soldiers
in industry to drive the forces Of democracy
back.
They, when they know it, will do no such
fool thing. We expect to hear of the American
Legion spurnlng such a selfish offer as was
made to ex-service men by the anti-unionists

Why Do Workmen Organize?

Why do workmen not maintain their indi-
vlduality instead of organizing?
What chance has the worker for relief from
wrong, or the acknowledgement of a right
against concentrated organized wealth, with
out organization?
, These Questions were propounded recently
by President Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor in speech before the
% Marquette Club, Of New York City, and an
sWered by him in his Usual lucid manner.
With all its riches, natural resources and men
OF genius, he continued, the toilers are asking,
Why should nearly FIVE MILLION people be
unable to secure employment
Answering the charge when concluding his
address that we admit foreigners, radicals, and
many who espouse the cause of revolution into
our labor unions, he said:
"lf they are good enough for the modern
trust and profit-mongers, THEY ARE GOOD
ENOUGH FOR US TO ORGANIZE. The ma
terial with which we have to work is not Of
our own choosing. There is no royal road to
the solution Of the problems of life. It is the
duty OF every man to solve them day by day.

existence, no matter what the program or what

PATHFINDER ON. RAMPAGE

Starting suddenly, last Saturday
forenoon, from it's position on Pacific
avenue in front of the Marine National
Bank, a trim-looking Pathfinder car
shot diagonally across WILDWOOD ave-
nue.. dashed up on the pavement at the
northeast corner and crashed into the
fence of the property owned by Mrs.
S. P. Wolverton, of Sunbury, Pa. Inc
owner of the car, a Philadelphlan,
whose name could not be a~scertained,
had presence of mind enough to throw
on the emergency brakes, thus avert
ing, in all probability, a serious dis
aster. A nice shade tree, standing
near the corner of the street, was
badry barked by the right mud guard
of the machine, which came to a stop
after breaking down a portion OF the
fence around the yard. The driver
cheerfully paid for all damages that
resulted.
II was close to noon when the SEN
sational plunge vas made. he a
gone into the Marine Bank on some
business, and thinks some boy may
have tempered with the controlling
devices during his stay in the bank.
The car failed to move when he used
the self-starting mechanism. Then ne
got out to crank the machine. He mad
scarcely accomplished this when the
car began to go. Jumping up quickly
on the running board of the a on
the left hand side, he reached IN ana
threw on the emergency brakes, thus
checking the speed of the car at tne
Mace mentioned. 1t was a close cali
for both man and machine, n there
was quite an excitement in the neigh
borbood for a time. Everybody wanted
tn know how it all happened!

Mayor of wildwood,
My dear Mayor: To the 5000 mem
bers of the Artisans Order of Mutual
Protection WILDWOOD spells happi-
ness, Joy, satisfaction or any number
of adjectives that mean the same
thing.
While God gave his beautiful sun
shine, cool breezes and inv~igorating
ocean, Wildwood itself contributed SO
much that we would feel very remiss
indeed if we did not take official notice
and tender you our heartfelt apprecia-
ton. We shall always carry in our
minds the indelible impression of the
picture of our splendid reception at
the railroad station, the serenade of
your Municipal Band and the kind
courteous greetings of yourself, your
commissioners and your committee
men.
We cannot commend too highly the
perfect arrangements made by Messrs.
Fred Himmelein and Charles Doug
lass, members of your Board of Trade,
nor can we find words of praise sufi-
Gent to express u satisfaction of
the attention shown by your police
and fire officials, your tradespeople
and your citizens in general.
The railroad service accorded us
was of the best and reflects credit ON
those who had it in charge, and we
have to compliment Mr.. Blackwell
from this viewpoint. We feel that as
an organization that we acquitted our
selves in a splendid manner and dis
played to your satisfaction that our
organization is one of high ideals.
Mr.. George Ingram, district passen-
ger agent, who handled the arrange
ments from Philadelphia, stated that
our outing to the shore was the larg-
est he had handled on the road this
season and that we were the best
managed affair of it's kind that had
been his pleasure to be connected with.
This statement we believe to be abso-
lutely true and is a III of unmeas-
urable satisfaction to US.

wood has done for us as an organiza-
ton and are so well satisfied that
preparations are now being made to

trust that we shall renew our pleasant
associations and add further to our
organizations present standing.
We have been most happy in our Sc
lection of your resort for u outing
and trust we have left with you and
yours as pleasing recollections as
those we carry away with us.
