Who raises your wages The union.
Who shortens your hours? The

Who protects you from grinding
bosses? The union.
Who fights for sanitary workshops

Who gets behind every piece of
remedial legislation The union.
Who takes the children out of the

The unions do things. Every hour
of the day they advance inch by inch
and step by step. They have beaten
down opposition. They have compell-
ed judges, clergymen, economists and
educators to revise their views of our
cause and movement.
The union is the best investment a
worker can make. They are here to
stay, and their usefulness will expand
only as fast as our non-union fellows
join with US.
There is no limit to what we can do
by united action.
Join with US in this great humaniz-
ing, educational movement between
workers and degradation.
No other movement on earth can
compare with organized labor in the
practical, direct benefits to the toll

Let unionists proclaim the faith
that is in them, and let them spread
the gospel of trades unionism tt. their
unorganized craftsmen.
Grit your teeth and organize, for
you will enjoy those benefits that you
take-Detroit Labor News.

HOLD-UP men GET
TWENTY DOLLARS

A recent news item told of one hun
dred working men being held up by
two highwaymen and all the loot
taken from the one hundred was
twenty dollars. What kind of pikers
were these hoidup men? Surely their
plans lacked little common consid-
GRAFTON. Who could expect to do such
a job and get away with rich haul
from men getting soc an hour? Here
is strong evidence of wasted energy
that might have been employed on
something more worthy, if holdup
really had to be done.
There are many efficiency experts
among real holdup men as well as in
business combination. The latter fig
ures how to cut your wages down to
the lowest minimum, but doing a job
, that only resulted in getting an aver
age of twenty cents each from a hun
dred men is scarcely believable. Rob-
bers and highwaymen should know
that large amounts of the coin of the
realm is not found in quantities even
where the common laborers work in
large numbers. More attention should
be paid to reading the press by these
gentry who pull the handkerchief over
their eyes, so that they don't make
mistakes like this in the future
The average daily paper gives stat
istics of the reduction made in wages
and when this has gotten to the min
imum there is little chance for any
one else besides the employer to do
good job of stick-up. What is left
after some employers finish their
trimming is not worth the risk of get
ting a good beating, let alone being
killed by some of those attacked.

the benefit comes to him as pennies to
a sneak thief.
Fortunately few workingmen today
are content to be "scabs." For that
reason, detectives, ex-convicts and
other desperate characters must be
employed to recruit strikebreakers
Out of the slum, dive and lodging
house they select penniless despera-
does to ship about the country to
serve as "scabs."
To the thoughtful this is, perhaps,
the most hopeful sign in the struggle
of the workers. 1t shows that self
respecting workingmen are unwilling
to desert their comrades in battle to
serve the enemy.

Something About The
"Scab" Worth Reading
An Exchange Pictures the Judas of Organized Labor In
His Proper Colors-Yea, Verify

An exchange draws an excellent
picture of the genus homo called "the
scab" as follows:
Every social order develops its own
ethics. Even in the same social order
there are at least two codes of ethics.
The exploiter has his code; the ex-
plotted his.
History shows with unmistakable
clearness that the ethics of the op-
pressed have in due course become the
dominant ethics.
Those who have fought against
wrong, injustice and oppression have
naturally been the wronged and OPP
pressed.
Again and again in the history of
the world the lower orders, so-called,
have> Impressed upon the world their
code of ethics.
In the present order new word has
been coined to express the contempt
one class feels for those who bertay
it's cause.
The depressing class has tried to
glorify the term. The president OF
great university has tried to sancti-
fly it, but In the minds of millions and
millions today there can be no greater
reproach than to bescalled "scab."
When a man robs another he in
jures one man. When a man is
drunken, is addicted to vice, is idle
and shiftless, he Injuries himself more
than another.
But the "scab" sins against man
kind.
A group of men come together mu-
tually pledged to support one another
They are struggling against great OBJ
stacles for better conditions of life
for themselves and their families. By
sacrifice, by the payment of dues, by
the slow and arduous work of organ
izing they raise to decency and self
respect the mass of the workers.
Their struggle is as vital to the pro-
gress of humanity as any battle that
was ever fought or decided an issue
more important
What they seek for themselves they
seek for mankind, and no creature is
so poor and helpless as to be outside
the horizon of their efforts.
In the midst of their conflict men
suffering the same evils and oppres-
sion they suffer go over to aid and
comfort the oppressors.
Playing the part of Judas, they be-
tray to the executioner those who are
their own.
The "scab" is not only condemned
| by his fellow workers, but he is also
pushed aside and scorned as soon as
the conflict is over by those to whom
he sells himself.
He is used when it serves his mas
ter to use him. Even though he sue
ceeded in breaking the union of his
fellows, in humiliating his comrades
and in helping to fasten upon them
again, and himself as we'll, the yoke
of slavery, the oppressor has no
thought to give thin thanks.
The "scab" is like a piece of waste
useful to wipe away nuisance and
then to wash ones hands off.
AS workingman the "scab" bene-
fits with other workingmen by the
conquests of unionism. When wages
are raised; hours shortened, machines
guarded, factories made sanitary,
mines made safe, he also benefits. But
