abolishing the existing order for
something better until he has learned
that organization is the first step.
Pointing out the shortcomings and
weaknesses of the labor movement
will not do much good, unless such
criticism is backed up by constructive
action, and constructive action means
that the individual must sink his
identity in that of the mass. In other
words, he must organize and become
an integral part of some organiza-
ton.
The man who belittles the labor
movement and holds it up to scorn is
only giving evidence of his own stu
pidity and lack of intelligence.
If the entire labor movement should
be wiped out tomorrow it would be
but a very short time before every
unorganized worker, scoffeT and
critic, would face the grim reality
that something had happened, for it
would be brought home to them forci-
bly, in the shrunken pay envelope, in
the heightened hours and in the
abusive attitude Of every petty boss
they came in contact with.
They would find something miss
ing, and, if they had the mental abil-
ity to concentrate their minds for {
few brief moments, it might dawr
upon them that, after all, the much.
despised and ridiculed labor move.

have many faults and come long

it is an organization pregnant with
Unlimited possibilities. No one car
tell how far a toad can jump just by
looking at it, and no one can tell how
large and powerful an organization
may become or how suddenly it may
forge to the front just by looking at
it when it is small.
The small, weak, imperfect organ
ization of today may be the large
powerful and efficient organization
of tomorrow.
The organization that the workers
scorn to join today may be the one
they will flock into tomorrow.
The employers realize these things
and it is because they do realize the
fact that no one can tell what the

organization is protection to a GER

ORGANIZATION A NECESSITY

This is an age of organization.
Turn where you will and you are face
to face with organization in one form
or another. Practically every phase
of human activity is governed by
some kind of an organization. In this
day and age things are done on a
large scale, not by the efforts of the
single Individual, but by the multi
plication of man-poWer. Here and
there some individual may stand out
in the limelight, but investigation will
show that, after all, this individual is
merely the figurehead, representing
some vast organization OF men,
money or power.
Organization is brought about by
those who have a community Of in
terest, and who seek to advance their
interests by combining together.
What would be impossible for the
individual to accomplish is done with
ease when all those who seek the
same goal unite and make concert
ed effort.
AS an individual you may be able
to drift along without organization.
1t is always possible to just mud
die along and take whatever comes
your way, but this is not progress
this is not getting anywhere.
Those who are satisfied with things
as they are, need no organization, fol
they have no aims or aspirations
They want nothing, so they never put
forth any effort, and they get moth
ing.
Those who are not satisfied anC
who do want greater measure OF
justice, must organize if they ever
hope to gain what they desire. They
can grumble, growl and kick; they
can weep, wall and gnash their teeth
but they will get nowhere until they
combine for a common purpose.
Every bit of progress that has
been made has been made as the re-
suit of organization. Progress lags
just to the degree that organization
lags.
Whatever advance has been made
in shortening hours, raising wages
and elevating working conditions can
be measured by the yardstick of or
ganization.
The individual worker may shirk
his duty; he may maintain his stand
as an Individual; he may go from
job to job searching for the ideal con-
ditions he wants to enjoy, but where
ever he goes he will find the same
average level,
There is no escape, for he is a
worker, and, as such, is forced to
compete with every other worker in
his indutry. A lob he must have and
any job that he gets is owned by some
employer. He may change masters,
but that is all he can do under the ex-
isting order Of society.
He can not even begin to think Of

THE FLORIDA EVERGLADES

veteran organization to assume re-
sponsibility for financing it's re-

January /. 1925. was announced at
Red Cross national headquarters to-
day.
The assistance the Red Cross has

The end of this financial help to

disabled veterans does not mean that
the Red Cross service to these men
is abated. In fact. the Red Cross
expenditures from it's national funds
are expected to continue in proper
ton to the need of the exservice
man and his dependents. During the
fiscal year ended June 80. 1924. the
American Red Cross expended more
