A WOOD NOISE.

When the two adventures were in

night, they heard q very loud noise.
They couldn't imagine what 1t might
be. They thought of everything.

'Why doesn't any one come to help
us when We call out for help?" asked
the girl.
Perhaps wed better be quiet" said
the boy. Then the dreadful creature
won't hear US. I'm sure it wouldn't
listen to reason, or pay any attention
to what we said"
They both stayed very quiet and the
noise stopped. Then they heard it
again. They tried to hold their
breath, but, Of course, they couldn't.
perhaps it has gone away" said
the boy, after some time of silence.
But wouldn't we have heard it go

whispered the girl. Il wish Mrs. Wood

They only hoped for the morning
when they could run away from ad-

quiet and safe.
on, If morning would only come!
In moment or two more the boy
peaked out of one eye into darkness
with only the little bit Of scrap of
light which came through from the
far-off stars.
He thought he saw a shadow. Then
he was quite sure he saw one. He gave
one awful Shrek and the girl rushed
to him and put her head on his shoul-
der.
"Oh, this is terrible, terrible! Save
us, don't hurt US, animal, creature,
snake, whoever, whatever you are!"
the girl cried.
"a s1ake wouldn't listen; no crea-
ture would" trembled the boy.
"Oh dear. oh DEAR" said creature
who at least could speak the language
the boy and girl understood; ooh dear,
oh dear, l can't help sghing.'
The creature gave long sigh and
then lighted a little candle which he
carried In a birchbark candlestick.

won't hurt either Of you. I heard you
wanted to have adventures and l
thought"
1--WE don't want your kind" said
the boy.
mo, please, no." said the girl.

they saw his face now In the candle
light, for before they had not dared
to look. 1t was kindly and jolly and
round. He looked almost like a moon
with legs and arms, taking a walk on
the earth.
"Tve come to tell you" said the
creature, that | wasn't roaring. You
were little afraid when you went to
bed and so the slightest sound made
you think of wild animals.
'Tve come most especially to tell
YOU, though, that there are no such
things as bogeys and ghosts. And If
you're going to spoil your trip by
imagining all sorts of foolish things.
you're a pair of silly children.
"Good-by, and OH" the creature
shouted as he put out his candle and
went off, please remember that there
aren't such creatures as ghosts and
bogeys. But if you think every sound
means something when you hear 1t at
night, feel sorry for your nights, for
the leaves >and the wind and the walls
and the doors and the ceilings and the
shrubs and everything else must move
and change their position once in q
while"
So they went back to sleep, and were
really very thankful to have had this
adventure.

THE CLOSED SHOP
By Mr.. Il. r. G.


III Shop, merely as system, that
does not recognize the unions
or union labor, and while this is
true opinion, it does not fully explain
the system.
1t is a system, which, in the sale
and purchase of labor, does not recog-
nize the right of the seller, the en-
ployee, to enter into agreements, as
sociations, or contracts with other en-
ployees which aim to influence or
regulate the use of that labor; but at
the same time demands the right for
the purchaser, the employer, to enter
into agreements, associations, or con-
tracts with other employers, in order
to derive the most benefit from the
use of that labor.
These employers consider the work
ing day only as matter of output,
and by the number of hours that the
employee is engaged in, at daily pro-
duction. Their aim is to keep the en-
ployee, working all the hours each
day that they possibly can.
From the union point of view, the
working day is not only the time spent
in actual labor, but is question of
health and morals, too, and the stand
ard ii these are raised or lowered,
according to the amount of time that
one is permitted to attend to his
natural educational, social, and re-
ligious duties.
There are number of other rea-
sons why l am not in favor of this
system, that is gradually becoming
known as the American Plan" of
employing help. 1t causes the en-
ployer to rely upon the going and
coming of employees, who often
change with the seasons, causing a
huctuation of the wage scale, and
disruption of schedule in regards to
output, ct cetera; because it does not
permit the employer making long
term contracts, with any degree of
assurance of his being able to carry
out the same faithfully, since he has
no opportunity of knowing what his
labor conditions will be in the future;
because it does not give the employer
regular supply of thoroughly eff
cient labor, and because it gives the
employer too great an advantage over
the employee.
do not favor this plan or system
because neither employer nor employee
gain beneficial results from the prac-
tices INDUCED in under it; because
it does not promote mutual confidence
and respect, but tends to create dis
trust, jealousy, and lack of harmony
among the employees; because it does
not offer inducements towards Great
ing better working conditions, but is
continually striving to bring about
lower working and living standards
for the employee; because it does not
secure for the employee the full free
exercise of his, or her, natural and
constitutional rights; because in the
hands of an unscrupulous employer it
is dangerous weapon, used in hu-
initiating, beating, driving and goad-
ing the employee into page 4. Col. 81

THE OPEN SHOP
By Mr.. NJ. L.

w native land in England and
embarked upon the then dan
gerous voyage, to America, they were
the first exponents of the open shop.
True enough their grivances were
not affiliated with labor, but the
principle was the same.
The preamble to the Constitution
of the U. S. proclaims that every man
is born free, and equal and is entitled
to the pursuit of peace, happiness and
domestic tranquility. This phrase |
interpret to mean that every man may
20 as far as brains, skill and ambition
can carry him. Can a man exercise
his inalienable rights who is member
of a labor organization? | say no!
When a person affiliates himself
with a trade union of any kind he
automatically ceases to exist as an indi-
vidual and becomes merely one of the
masses. Whatever individuality he
possessed in his chosen work, what
ever skill or knowledge he may have
acquired in years of thought and labor
are made to fit into cog of mass pro-
duction. He is ruled by an autocracy
as great in its way as ever were the
crowned heads of the old world. He
may be an honest man, for most men
are, but he must look upon inferior
work and disloyalty to his employer,
but can do nothing to remedy these
things. The officials and petty Of
fcials have sent out orders that so
much work shall be done in such a
number of hours, and who is he to
question the word of the labor chief
Sometimes he may be asked to vote,
mostly on the strike question. In
few weeks he may be told that the
union has voted for strike. Did he
see these votes counted? No indeed.
In the past he has been very lucky to
know how his own local voted, but
the real count is made by the so-called
Grand Lodge. Grand indeed and
some day they will be indicted for it,
by the same people who have been
inveigled into giving their freedom of
thought and action into the hands of
few men. In some instances they
did not even vote.
We read a short time ago in the
current periodicals that members of
trade unions in New York and
Chicago were merely told by
walking delegate, who rode in a
limousine that they were on strike.
No reasons were given but it has since
come to light that the President of
the Labor Assembly, who was mem
Der of no local union and was the
highest paid labor chief in the world
had a special grievance of his own
against the man who was trying to
have building erected or the con-
tractor in charge of the erecting.
When he had received his bribe of
two or three thousand dollars the
cogs of the machine were again set in
motion. Had they benefited by a
week of idleness? Ask yourself. How
small and Insignificant a man would
naturally feel who had found himself
the cats paw of such crime. Could

Not verywell.
Let us look over the labor situation
in the U. S. There are three great
groups of labor organizations.
The first the American Fedora
tion of Labor" a conglomeration of
every kind of labor from the char
woman to skilled artisans, and the
whole controlled by the outstanding
figure of Samuel Gompers.
The next is the Miners Union and
at its head John Lewis.
And now comes the "Big Five"
the railroad organization, dominated
by Chief Engineer Warren Stone.
Beside these organizations there is
springing up a fourth group led by
men more radical than any of the
others and who are nothing, but
anarchists, men that believe in sabo-
tage and destruction, whose one cry is
Down with Capitalism"
The spirit in which all unions were
born is probably the same in which
our forefathers of the Thirteen
Colonies expressed themselves in the
early days of the Revolution, UNITED
we stand, divided we fall" But do
they stand united ? Let us see. In the
spring of 1908 l found myself in
Butte, Montana. At that time Butte
was the most radical labor center in
the U. S. You could not nail loose
board on your own fence unless you
held card in the Carpenter union,
nor could you wax or oil your parlor
floor unless you were union painter.
During that time the International
representatives of the carpenters and
painters decided on a strike in Butte
and Helena and one or two other
smaller towns in that district. Things
went very well for the unions for
while, but of sudden strike breakers
appeared and finally when the bottom
dropped out there came the astound-
ing information that union strikers
from Butte had gone to work in
Helena and the men from Helena
and other towns had moved to Butte.
1t looks like some joke, but was it?
Where was the fault? We find that
the American Federation of Labor
had not appropriated enough money
for strike funds, and to support them
selves and their families these men
had to go to work. These people had
paid their monthly dues and quarterly
assessments into the treasury of the
Federation of Labor for years and
when they appealed to that body for
help the officials merely played with
them and they were told that other
unions did not favor prolonged
strike of building crafts in that sec
ton of the country at that time.
Another instance with which | am
familiar. A few years ago the Bind
cry Girls union in Minneapolis had
grievances against certain publishers.
The International ordered them out
on strike and out they went, but the
printers and pressmen, also affiliated
with the same body were not ordered
out. Consequently the printers were
working on the same job with unfair
bindery girls, helping them with their
work and in some instances were
escorting these girls home to keep
them from being molested by union
