LEST WE FORGET.

We take great pride i'm talking
about our 100 per cent organizations
and our 100 per cent unionism, but
we fail to recognize the fact that
while our craft is 100 per cent organ
lied and even if the members carried
out every obligation to the organiza-
ton and the general movement, we
would yet be only so per cent
unionized. We've failed to union
ize our purchasing power by organ
izing our own family and the wife in
particular, who spends a consider
able portion of our weekly stipend.
We have not taught the wife and
family the necessity of demanding the
union label, the union card and the
union button.
While in the bosom of our family
we talk ON every subject but about
our union and its aims and objects
and what it has accomplished for us.
We talk politics, about baseball, foot
ball, horse races, the lodge, Mary
Pickford. Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey,
and everything else under the sun
but about the institution that means
more bread and butter and more
comforts for the home-our union.
We are walking burden of informa-
ton about everything when around
the house but the most important
matter which conveys comfort into
our homes and would convey consid-
cradle more if we would only edu-
cate our families to become 100

ROALROAD OWNERS
HAMPER AMERICAS
MERCHANT MARINE
"a. F. of l.. News Service

"A. r. OF IL. news service
New York.--Railroads are using
government funds to hamper the
American merchant marine is the
charge made by United States Sena-
tor Ransdell, of Louisiana, in speech
i'm this city.
The speaker called attention to cop
les of contracts between railroad sys-
TENS and foreign shipping lines that
are filed with the interstate COM
merce commission.
In these contracts the railroads
agree to use their best efforts to Sc
cure freight for the foreign shipping
companies to the exclusion of Ameri-
can ships.
Exclusive use of facilities is grant
ed i'm many cases, free wharfage and
freight handling is given, special ar
rangements on thorugh bills Of lad
ing are made, and many other privi-
leges are accorded"
These railroad owners are referred
to by Senator Ransdell as "interna-
tional Americans"
The Pennsylvania railroad is
shown to have contracted with Fur"
ness, Witty g. Co., a British corpora
ton, "to promote the business of the
said steamship linz rs against
"their individual and mutual COM
petitors."
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad
agrees with the North German Lloyd
line to give that company the free
use of piers, sheds, coal yards and
warehouses; to try to get the vessels
of the line exempt from city, harbor
and county taxes, and do its best to
get mail contracts for those foreign
steamers.
The railroad further agrees to al
| ways deliver to the company's steam
ers the best Cumberland coal at a
price that shall be always so cents
per ton under the market value at
Baltimore"
The Boston & Albany railroad
agrees to grant the Cunard steam
ship line, another English corpora
ton, "the free and exclusive use of
certain PIERS" to make all reason
able efforts to secure the amount of
export freight required by said
steamship company" and under GER
tain conditions pledges "a reduced
rate of 2la cents per hundred pounds
for freight in car load lots"
Senator Ransdell shows thai While
these international Americans" are
plotting against American ships, they
are campaigning against the Ameri-
can merchant marine, which is being
slowly pounded to pieces by unpatrot-
ic methods that no other country
| would tolerate.
The southern lawmaker exposed
the claim of these international
Americans" that high wages is wreck
ing the American merchant marine.
He said: Our private companies OPP
crate ships, in spite of high wages
paid to labor, in successful competi-
ton with the world, because of
greater efficiency"
The speech is of special interest to
organized wage warkers because of
its expose of methods employed by
railroads that are now attempting to
beat down wages of employees, and are
urging the repeal of the seamen's
law.

SOME DAY THEY WILL PAY

Thousands of business firms are
failing. Millions of workers are UNI
employed Hunger, want and pri-
walton stalk into the home of every
other bread-winner in America.
The great consuming public is sac
rifcing more and more each year.
Public amusements- are being cur
tailed, health care is being neglected
the morale of the nation is being
lowered. These are facts, known
to any reputable economist, theater
operator or public health physician.
But what matter to that merry
band of credit-controllers who rule
and reign upon Wall Street with all
Americas economic life tied up in
their hands. -
These gentlemen will have their
pound of flesh. Shylock- wise, they
demand their return, according to
the bond, whether the rest of Amer
ica's 100,000,000 prosper or starve.
Whether you need or not, these
men will clip their coupons in jovial
disregard Of the nations well-being.
Whether you are sheltered or cold,
this gang demands their regular rate
of interest.
Sacrifice to the public welfare is
unknown to them. A conscience to
regard the nations suffering is not
theirs.
In mad disregard of the misery
rampant in the country they demand
that capital shall not be subject to
any hardship whatsoever. Each year
they wax more eloquent over the
sacred rights of private property and
more savage in their attempt to kill

LABOR UNIONS PROMOTER
OF PEACE AND HARMONY,
SAYS ENGLISH EMPLOYER
(By The Federated Press)

New York.-Immediately after
Phillip T. Dodge, president of the
International Paper company-known
as the paper trust-and president of
the Mergenthaler Linotype company
had finished a bitter attack on labor
unionism before the Industrial Re-
lations Association of America, a ia
nous employer of British labor, B.
Seebohm Rowntree, managing direc-
tor of Rowntree & Co., Ltd, of York.
England, who during the war SUPER
vised industrial relations in more
than 5000 mills and factories, told
the association that labor unionism
is promoter of peace and prosperity
in industry.
mot only that" said he, "but when
there is any likelihood of difficulties
in the mills | direct, | send for the
trade union secretary to straighten it
out, and more often than not the
trouble is amicably and satisfactorily
settled"
Dodge, whose organized paper Mill
employees have been on strike since
May and only IL of whose Is mills
should be "constabulary" in ever
state. at is the best means of en-
forcement of law" he said.
Rowntree then told how his firm,
employing 1000 workers, deals with
10 trade unions as matter of course
in the business, and that the firm
since its birth in 1887 has had not
one strike. 81 frankly counsel you
to look far enough ahead" he said,
ito see the inevitable and to beat
the workers to it by offering such
reasonable concessions as will per-
nit the business to advance and
grow with none but the most peace
full relations between employer and
employee"

Der cent union enthusiasts instead
of being open shoppers and employ
ers of "scab" labor.
Every dollar that is spent by our
families for non-union products pro
yides a greater demand for "scab"
labor and places more money at the
command of the open shop advocates
with which to fight not only the
other fellows union, but also our
own when the occasion requires, and
still we most vigorously denounee
the "scab" and the "open shop" at
the meeting of our union and say
never a word about it at home, and
permit our wives and families to
remain in ignorance of the mission
of the unions and spend our money
with our enemies.
We rail against the employer who
refuses to recognize the union and
employs non-union or "scab" labor
but we give never thought to the
fact that we are even worse than he
when we deliberately buy non-union
goods and thus become an employer
of "scab" labor, which is exactly
what are when we fail to demand and
buy only such articles that bear the
union label of the craft that pro-
duces such article.
1t is about time that we took stock
of ourselves, organize and unionize
our own homes and become employ
ers of union labor before we insist
upon the other fellow doing some
thing that we fail to do ourselves.
We alone are responsible If the
merchant does not handle union label
goods. He buys only that for which
there is a demand and which he can
sell. If we create the demand and
accept nothing but that which we
demand he will supply the demand.
But as long as we are too weak to
speak out in determined manner,
but only now and then humble
something about the label and then
accept something just as good" we
will continue to be employers of
"scab" labor and promoters of sweat
and prison shop made junk, doled
out to you by non-union clerks.
Let's get out of the old rut and
begin blazing the trail toward indus
trial freedom, social justice and the
democracy which we heard much
about while buying war savings
stamps, liberty bonds and contribut-
ing to all the drives.
And. lest we forget-make a new
drive for the union label and liberty.

WORKERS MUST GET
TOGETHER POLITICALLY
IF THEY WANT JUSTICE

Milwaukee, prediction, at the
Federated Trades Council meeting
that the railroad strike had been
headed off temporarily and that the
settlement probably would break
down in less than nine months, was
made by Assistant international
President James B. Connors, of the
Switchmen's Union of North America
who made a strong plea for govern
ment ownership of the roads.
"The Pennsylvania road is might
Ter than the present United States
government" Connors said, "and the
Democratic party has outlived its use
fulness. The Republican party never
was any good, so it is up to workers
to get together politically, if they
want justice"

ONLY EYpERIENcE TEACHES

ONLY EXPERIENCE TEACHES
The workers have no use for fine
spun philosophical theorizing. They
must have the facts-facts thrust at
them with the impact of cannon
ball. They learn slowly-in the
school of experienced at all. Surely
they must have been benefited by
the lessons of the past few weeks.
They have learned, if they are not
hopeIessly blind and impervious to
learning, that they are up against
the stiffest struggle in the history
Of the so-called labor movement.
They have the government against
them, then the press, and then I'M
limited capital that they helped ere
ate, but did not get Its formit-
able array, but so puny if the work
ers would but make up their minds
to take a crack at the outfit. But
the worker won't fight unless he is
cornered, and then he's got all the
odds against him. Come, now, you
men of toll; are you going to take
your beating recumbent or are you
going to stand up and fight like men?
It's up to you; if things go badly
with you, you have yourselves only
to blame.-Warren S. Reininger, in
Labor.

We cannot refrain from telling the
following one about Max PowelPs audi
phone. At the hotel keepers meeting
at Bomoseen last week, mine hosts and
guests sat or stood for a group photo
graph. When the photographer hrst
broke the silence after the psychology
cal moment, inviting all who cared Tor
reproductions of the picture to leave
their addresses with him, Governor
Hartness was among the first to bid
for the souvenir of the gathering. We
ourselves thought to kodak the chief
executive of the state in the act OF
passing over a dollar bill for his ike
ness and rushed to the hotel desk Tor
our camera. The young lady clerk
caught the contagion of our rush and
handed Mr.. Powclls audiphone across
the counter That delay was our dis

back was just disappearing in the pho
tographer's ample pocket when we
reached the scene for the shot. But
the mistake was too good TO keep Sc

In commenting on the speed craze
of the motoring world, our esteemed
contemporary, the Randolph Herald,
suggests that some automobile manu-
facturer place on the market a stan
dard car equipped with a speed regu-
lator. The Herald thinks too that such
a device would be argument enough
for "more sale than perhaps appears
likely" on account of the conversion OF
a considerable portion of the driving
public from the mania OF excessive
haste to the greater smoothnesS ana
comfort of a slower pace, But 1t IS
inst that class of drivers OF whom we
have no fear in meeting on the highway.
1t is the eternally reckless species, and
their number seems legion still, whose
cars ought to be compulsorily equipped
with some sort of governing device lest
they continue to break their own and
other peoples necks.

they Just couldn't find time to appear.
The New England Conference of the
State Federations of Woman's Clubs
in its annual meeting last week at
Breadloaf Inn, recommended to the
thousands of women under its juris-
diction that they all take an active in
terest in the use of their voting fran
chise and appreciate its responsible
ties. Jury service is an instance of
this responsibility. The New Jersey
woman who wrote that she thought
that court ought not to interfere with
her vacation pleasure would not per-
haps be endorsed by the Conference.
