type in the Senate and House-there
to save the people from the madness
of those who worship dolalrs and des-
pise lives of workers!
All the tricks Of capitalism-open
shop-and company unions taking the
lead-cannot force workers back into
slavery. Defeats will be covered bv
victories and the Grand Army of La
Dor will move on to its place in the
control of government when it's mem
bers vote for the men who make the
laws.
Sweat shop employers, open shop
promoters and company union advo-
Gates are as cruel as tyrants of old
like Nero-in their strongholds of
money power-dollars first-lives
last. Profits, profits, profits-more
profits until the greed of wolf or
the hog of hog loses by comparison
with the gluttonish grab of these
enemies of labor. Open shop sinners
boastingly claim that They'll all
come back to work before they'll
starve," meaning the organized work
ers who walked out on account of
tyrannical conditions, unjust treat
ment, wage cutting and bold at
tempt to destroy unions.
| While this battle between labor and
capital goes on and money getters live
on the fat of the land, many workers
are living fairly well, too, but the
unemployed cannot live well nor half
way well-they must suffer hunger,

while the mighty power of money
works for the dollars frst-profts-
the thing that buys mems souls and
perpetuates crime thru poverty-hell

sense of the word-a leader Of men
regarded labor as the basis of wealth
and rightly deserving of the first con-
sideration. Here is what the great
emancipation friend of toilers said:
"The strongest bond of human SYM
pathy outside of the family relations,
should be the one uniting all working
people of all nations and tongues and
kindred"
If legislators-a certain type
praise Lincoln less and put into laws
the great principles of freedom, JUS
tice and humanity that Lincoln advo-
Gated, there would be little abuse of
the toilers. Lives would be first. Too
many workers leave their own well
fare to "time"; they neither join a
union nor help the great flower OF
organization grow and develop banks
for workers, cooperative bakeries, and
build labor temples where toilers are
free from the expenses of hiring a
hall, may hear labor speakers without
any interruption or sit through an
evening of entertainment.
Listen to this: American Labor
has twenty-three banks in its own in
terest, with capital of workers pour
ing into their vaults. 1t is launching
cooperative chain stores, mines, bak-
cries and industrial plants-all to
your credit, telling again: elves first,
dollars last" Join the movements
wherever you can and help save your
selves without any bloodshed.
The industrial revolution moves on
while "child labor" disgraces this
country in hideous form, tho the
Church endeavors to teach Jesus
Christ-instead of putting His pre-
cepts into daily practice. Gary dares
insult God by recommending more
religion for workers. Where is there
time to use it in his 12-hour dav deal?
In the very crisis of this struggle
between capital and labor, the work
ers are saved from utter defeat thru
the power of organization alone. The
courts in the hands of private inter-
ests would demolish them in a hurry
were there no unions, no collective
bargaining and no American Fedora
tic of Labor
Organized labor means everything
to the workers. 1t is their continued
salvation. 1t means wages, hours,
working conditions, self-respect,
home, education, happiness and the
chance to give some attention to YOUR
spiritual growth-your own birth
right. Organized labor means Gods
plan here to save workers from the
sure industrial slavery to be put upon
them thru the success of these twin
enemies, "open shop" and company
unions" But they will not succeed
for organized labor blocks the way.
Friends, thank you for your patience
and marked attention.

The parade was one of the finest
of recent years, many of the Local
Unions turning out in full force in
natty and attractive uniforms. The
Bottle Blowers demonstrated that
they are coming back strong by show
ing up as in the past in new uni
forms and in large numbers. Iron
Moulders No. 1852 won the prize for
the best appearing organization.
The Motion Picture Machine Oper-
ators received first prize, $25, for the
most beautiful float, and the Ladies
Auxiliary to I. A. of M. was awarded
the second prize, SIS.
Owing to the rain the afternoons
