"OUR UNION"

To speak of union as 'the union,"
meaning something apart from our
selves, is misnomer. "Our union"
is more to the point. 1t is as we
make it, and it cannot rise higher than
its units. But yet we have fashioned
it fairly well. Our union, like any
other human agency, occasionally
makes mistakes, but in comparison it
will show advantageously with any
institution of the kind, either benev-
olent, religious or social. It's road
has been a rocky one, but it has grown
all the stronger and healthier for the
knocks it has received. In it's early
days, derided by press and pulpit, per-
secuted by monopoly, laughed at by
politicians and buffeted now by pan
icky gales or bayonetted again by
military, our union has marched Sc
renely on, bringing down its torment
ors, making supplicants of it's enemies.
In the past decade, thanks to the
veterans who have gone on or before,
unwritten and unsung, our union has
seen mighty change. The columns
of the press thrown open, searching,
competing for its doings; academi-
clans, science, art, espousing it's
cause; the church rapping at the door
for admission; popular magazines and
dramatists adopting it's role, courting
it's favor.
Our union today is determining
factor in all social functions, main
artery of the pulse of trade, of COM
merce, of society. 1t raises wages,
prevents lockouts from the very fact
that it is. 1t promotes fraternity, So
ciability; fosters temperance and lib
erality. Above all, it is an educa-
tional force.
Our union knows no sectionalism.
1t is the embodiment of democracy;
it knows no creed, rank or title. 1t
SCOTS at the cheap snobbery of wealth
and rejects its charity; for the self
styled "sets" and upper tens" it has
a healthy contempt, and upon the tin
sci and brass of their striped defend
ers it bestows its scorn.

OUTSIDE ACITATOR

Certain employers who are trying
very hard to keep their industrial
policy back in the middle ages are
fond of pointing to the "outside agi-
tator."
The Outside Agitator! Great dis
covery. Caught, at last. Here is the
root of the evil
Have no dealings with labor unions
because there is an Outside Agitator
in their midst.
Simple. Why didn't somebody think
of that before? But
Unfortunate that there has to be a
but" to spoil anything so beautiful.
Butt isn't so. That's the only
trouble. It's good idea, but it is a
false idea.
The trade union movement knows
no such thing as an "Outside Agita-
tor" The trade union movement
came into being because modern in
dustry made it necessary for working
people to combine their abilities and
their strength and their resources in
order that they might be able to deal
on something like even terms with an
employer who himself represented a
pooling of strength and resources.
Modern industry made trade unonism
indispensable to the welfare and safe
ty of the race.
Labor unions elect and pay men to
represent them. Some of these men
are called local chairmen, some gener-
al chairmen, some presidents, and
some presidents 1t is these men
to whom some employers refer as
Outside Agitators." AS matter of
fact, they are inside, not outside. They
REPRESENT the men who elected
them. The machinery of democracy,
which the labor movement respects
and understands and fights for, put
those representatives where they are.
The chosen representative of
union is no more an Outside Agitator
than he is the president of corpora
ton, or the superintendent of a plant
Those who think they can stop
progress by calling names are sadly
in the wrong especially when the
names don't fit-Railroad Telegraph
