Careful scrutiny of the efforts of

no vulnerable spot in the life, charac-
ter, public record or platform of La
Toilette. Hell and Maria" contents
himself with shrieking radical and
waving a red flag, thereby hoping to
scare the timid or thoughtless voter
into supporting the party of privilege
and corruption. He carefully avoids
an intelligent discussion of the clear
cut issues definitely set forth in the
Progressive platform and evaded or
ignored in his party platform, but
sums up the situation by a dire proph-
esy of chaos if LaFollette is elected
president. We freely and gladly ad-
NIT there would be chaos of LaFol-

kind who have been so well cared for

ORGANIZATION Is
FIRST ESSENTIAL
TO HARMONY
u, @. w. Perkins.

Perfect accord and cooperation
must prevail In the labor movement
aud upon the economic field Of en-
deavor IL We are 10 obtain the best
and really WORTHWHILE results. This
Is as true In our trade unions as 1t h
with any given piece OF machinery.
A locomotive cannot work to capacity
II any part of its integral makeup Is
out Of order and not functioning
properly. The same Is true Of all
other machines.
A locomotive TO work properly and
to capacity must have the attention
and cooperation OF the engineer, the
fireman, the conductor, and the train
dispatcher. Unless all these elements
and forces coordinate and work IN
harmony the wonderfully constructed
and powerful locomotive becomes i'm.
potent and often dangerous.
The foregoing principles are appli-
cable and just as necessary for sue
cessfuI achievement in our trade union
movement, In industry, and In the ae-
c0mplshment OF results. The en-
ployer, the superintendent, the union
and the members thereof should work
In harmony If the best results are to
be achieved. If any one Of these
elements that go TO make up the
whole Is not In accord friction de
veops, and diseord and danger are
Just ahead Of as.
Labor Is just as necessary in any
given industry az capital. IL is just
as necessary as the employer or the
management and is entitled to just
as much consideration as any part Of
the elements engaged therein. The
employer cannot get along without
labor and labor under any system Of
production must have authoritative.
just management. Well paid and well
treated labor Is the best and less ez-
pensive in the end. II is Of greater
service and Is more productive and
consequently better for the employer
in the final analysis.
Just so long as industry Is con-
Quoted under the present system
every thoughtful man and woman
must realize that cooperation and
harmony in which labor has its own
proper say are conducive 70 the best
interests Of labor, the management,
and finally society al large.
The first essential TO such a cOndi-
tion Is organization. Without ii no
progress for the workers in the lines
Of human endeayor and a higher and
better civilization has ever been made.
Organize; perfect your organization;
and keep on organizing.

that the United States supreme

checked featured an address by James
Duncan, first vice president OF the A,

the West Virginia state federation OF

The trade unionist said there are
two methods to check the courts pol

necessary to set aside an act Of con-

"There Is widespread dissatisfac-

"Our child labor law, which was re-
Gently declared unconstitutional, as

example. Some eight or nine impor-

Dawes delights to classify the pro-
