you AND YOUR UNION

What is the union? Some seem
to think it separate sort of super
structure apart from mortal man.
The fact is that the union is simply
you and me. All of us make the
union. We are the union and make it
just what it is and what it stands for.
We can make it or break it. We
can make it good or bad, prosperous
or Indifferent and insipid. We can
make it grow and function in the
right direction if we apply the right
principles. We must shape our
actions to fit existing conditions. We
must. each of us, derive some real
benefit from the bitter lessons of the
past. Then we must endeavor to mas
ter the present and try and envisage
the future. We must do these things
ourselves. Employers won't do them
for us.
We, as individuals, may hold and
are entitled to our individual ideas
But in the union we must pool our
ideas to fit existing conditions and
then submerge them in the will of the
majority.
The union is not separate thing
from the membership. 1t is just what
we, the members collectively, make it
When you find fault with and criticist
the union, you are finding fault witt
and criticizing yourself. Perhaps yot
are right, but put the blame where
it rightfully belongs-upon you
shoulders, not on the union.
In word, learn to think of you
union as "We"-not as "They."

THE BASIS OF WAGES

Recently the conductor of column
in one of our city dailies made hu-
morous reference to the fact that a
bricklayer rode to his work in an auto
mobile. The idea seemed exceedingly
funny.
But why should not bricklayer
have a car? The column conductor
has one. Bankers and brokers have
them, and so do lawyers, actors and
statesmen. Is the bricklayer of less
Importance to society than the stock
broker, the lawyer or the column con-
ductor? Does he render less i'm
portant or less valuable service?
There is one reason, and only one,
why in the past, actors, writers,
brokers, lawyers, etc, have had auto
mobiles and bricklayers have not. 1t
is that bricklayers were, relatively
many, and the others, relatively, few
in proportion to the demand. Today
the demand for bricklayers is great
and their number is few Therefore
they have the opportunity, and they
are using it, as human beings always
will, to increase their earnings.
Wages have always depended, and
they always will, on the proportion
between the number Of jobs and the
number of men wanting and capable
of filling those jobs. At present the
bricklayers, and all. other manual
workers, have an opportunity that
they have not had for years to carr
something more than a living wage
They can and should take advantage
Of it.
The men and women who build oul
world are centainly entitled to some
thing more than the bare necessities
of life. They build the automobiles
why should they not ride in them now
that the time is here when few of
them at least have the power to COM
pei the payment of wages that will
enable them to buy cars?

NEW PROBLEM FOR LABOR

Only a complacent, non-thinking
citizen will overlook the revolution
now on in industry.
Attention is again called to this
silent upheaval by new process
which will turn out as much iron in
80 minutes as $50 puddlers can turn
out in an entire day.
The ancient skill of these refners
of iron is destroyed and they arr
thrown on the streets.
The self. satisfying claim that work
ers can enter other industries will no.
suffice. The "other" industries are
also victims of the same revolution.
Even such unskilled caliings as
road making and sewer digging is
being done by the machine.
Many of these workers, it is point
ed out, are operating gas service sta
tions and hot dog stands, but this is
not creative labor. 1t is no solution
to turn the nations wage workers
into servitors.
We are yet at the threshold of the
automatic-machine age. Inventors
and scientists are ceaseless in their
efforts to develop machinery and
processes that will dispense with hu-
man labor power.
With workers displaced, and their
purchasing power destroyed, who will
buy the machine made commodities !?
The situation presents startling
possibilities. Old theories must be
rejected as new age dawns.
If workers are far-sighted they will
prepare for the near future by Join
ing the trade union movement.
If they fail, grim necessity will
force them to act that unemployment
insurance, old-age pensions and a
shorter work-week may be assured.

ARE YOU A SMOKER?

Are you a cigar smoker? If so,
why not smoke Hamilton union made
cigars. Why not be loyal to the old

ist and smoke only cigars made in

low as you would be done by

CHURCHMEN
Register Opposition Tt
Workers Low Wages

New York.-Low wages is opposed
by committee of the Federal Coun-
Gil of the Churches of Christ. The
churchmen state that "the recent Pc
riod of unemployment" forced moth
ers to leave their families to seek
work in other communities. The
churchmen declare:
Employers, especially in highly
competitive industries such as tex
tile, should be warned against wages
so low as to require the additional
wage of the mother in the factory to
maintain the home, and against en-
couraging mothers to leave their lit
tie children during the day. No
mother should have to work away
from home at night"
The clergymen defend the activity
of the church in social questions.
Such matters as living wage, a
shorter work day, housing for people
with small incomes and protection of
working mothers still seem, to great
numbers of Christians, as not a real
part of the Christian task" it is
stated
'.The churches have been slow to
recognize the redemptive character of
social work in the field of family well
fare or take their functional part in
it. Only a comparative few have
worked Systematically at the problem
of the unadjusted home. This service
has been taken over to a considerable
extent by the physician, the lawyer,
the social worker and the courts"

WANT WORK, NOT CHARITY

The story is told that any man who
really wants to work can find it.
That only the lazy, good-for nothing
and the criminals are out of work
The explanation given is that they
are out of work because they will
not work. Sad to relate, but we even
hear similar stories from the lips of
some workingmen who happen to be
steadily employed. 1t takes some
event, like the recent snow-storm.
when surplus labor is required to
prove the fallacy of the story. From
every corner of the city came men

There Is A Santa Claus

Every year the question and reply is print
The old story that is never old The story of Santa
Claus!
Back in 1897, little New York girl, Virginia o.
Hanlan, wrote to the New York Sun. That news
paper was then edited by Charles A. Dana The re-
ply to Virginia written by Francis P Church
Letter and reply tell the story Here is the letter:
Dear Editor: | am eight years DID, Some of
my little friends say there is not Santa Claus. Pa
pa says, If you see it in the Sum- it's so' Please tell
me the TRUTH is there Santa Claus?
VIRGINIA O'HANLAN,
"115 W. 95th Street"
Virginia, your little friends are wrong Thew
have been affected by the skeptcism of skeptical
age They do not believe except they see. They think
their little minds. All minds Virginia. whether thew
be mems chdrens are little In this great universe
OF OURS man is mere insect ant, in his intellect
as compared with the boundless world about him, as
measured by the intelligence capable of graspng the
whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus. He exists
as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist
and you know that they abound and give to your life
It's highest beauty and JOY Alas how drearv would be
the world It there were no Santa Claus! It would be
as dreary as it there no Vrginias There would
be no childke faith then, no poetry no romance to
make tolerable this existence We should have no en-
Joyment except In and sight The eternal light
with which childhood fills the world would be extin
guished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might get your
papa to hire men to watch in all the chimnevs on
Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if thew
tt dld not see Santa Claus coming down, what would
they prove? Nobody Santa Claus but that is no
sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real
things In the world those neither children nor men
can see Did you ever fairies dancing on the lawn?
Of course not but that's proof they are not there
NOBODY can conceive imagine all the wonders there
are unseen and unseeable in the world
You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what
makes the noise inside but there is veil covering the
unseen world which not the strongest man nor the
unified strength Of all the strongest men that ever
romance, can push aside that curtain and view and
picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond It is

 ting down of programs or change of the standard established during the regular winter season. It means programs of a lighter variety with a lesser number of nationally and internationally known artists ap- bearing as guest soloists on the vari- ous programs. We might add that the winter schedule on the whole was not disappointing and many of the features proved to be enjoyable bits Of entertainment There were and still are however a few featured programs Which should never have
