MAHON A Trftute It ll surprising how large a part sentiment plays In our lives. No man has exercised a greater Influence upon my Ufe that "Bill" Mahon, the International President ot the Amalgamated Association Of * Street Electric Railway Employee! of America. -The story of hla fight to organise' industrially tbe atreet ur men of thia continent 'roads like a romance. .Twent»«eveu yeara.ago, a motor- man and conductor were taking their car Out through the siiburbi of Detroit In the "wee ema*' hour*.*', tt wu the middle of winter. They puled .the, comfortable homes of the auburbsaltea. Here add Mere * home wu well lighted, and the aound of merry voicei could be heard.' The comfort suggested by the appearance of thue homes made .the condition of the atreet-cSr men all the more unbearable. There were no vestibules on the cars..- The mules or horses they drove were taken care of, but no consideration wu given the men. Mules are valuable. Men did not have hone-sense. Mules coat money to replace. Men were, cheap. It wu a common occurrence tor the conductor to drag a motorman from His seat with frown hands and feet On thla particular evening- when thli particular oar reached the end of the tine, and the motorman and conductor were itamplng their feet on the ground and clapping their hands on their aides to eat warm, the motor- man Said to the conductor, "John, If I never do anything elu In my life, I am going to-organise the street-car men of America." The motorman wu William D. Mahon, and the conductor waa John 3. Thorpe, the flnt' member secured- by "BUI," and now lint vlce-prealdent of the association. To4ay there, sn nearly 100,900 men in that organlutlon. All the Improvement! streetcar men "enjoy have own secured through the effort! df organisation, ind almost every week sees a new dtaielon established. The. development' Of BUI Mahon haa* been very marked: He le a statei- man. Party, politician! have made many efforts tb induce htm to give up Ma work' among atreSt-car. men. They have always failed.

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 21, 1913 ORGANIZE THE UNORGANIZED The American Federation of Labor convention at Seattle, whloh will probably conclude lta session tomorrow, will undoubtedly itlmnlate the trade union movement of the PaeISc Northweit. And especially will thli be true of. Brltlih Columbia. The convention haa afforded many of tbe International offleen an opportunity to pay the cout cltlei their flnt vlilt, ind many of them will return to their homes In the eaat via Canadian territory, among the number being Preildent Samuel Oompers. While In Vancouver theie offlcen have made a dlicovery. They under •tend now why persistent demand! have been made upon their respective executive!, by local unloni, for aaiii- tanoe ln organlutlon work. They reallie, too, the huge possibilities thli territory will soon bave to offer ln the way of an Increased wage-working population, a population that wtll have problem! akin to thoie of much Older countries. As a result of their personal vtslU here many International trade onion offlcen have Been what tea already been done by thoie on the ground In the way of forming the nucleus of the organlied labor movement, to be. Local offlcen of every union In B.C ahould take advantage of thla happy turn of event! and redouble their effort! to secure the oo- opentlon of their respective Inter national unlona In every way possible. There Is much need for organisation work among the unorganiied tn B. O. There la room for the feder atlon of other unlona Into larger ones engaged to the aame lnduitry. There Is urgent need of political action. But the flnt essential Is induitrlal organisation. After that hss been accomplished the membership can be trusted to determine for themielvei what they ihall do politically. The American Federation of Labor and lti allied International unlona oan help ua and hare a right to help ua organiie on the induitrlal Held. Politically we muit work out our own salvation. Before anything tangible can be accomplished, however, the right to organiie, not only on Vancouver Iiland, but everywhere In Canada, muat be flrmly established, To secure that right we muit organiie, organiie, organiie. It li probable that too much attention haa been paid In recent yesrs by the worken to political action and not enough to the founding ot a militant lighting Industrial federation, of labor's forcea.

Some union men are guilty of saying a lot of thingi about fellow- unlonliti that they would not dare repeat on the floor of their union, Baokcappen are Invariably cowardi.

He ihould. never again be allowed to publicly slander those who make hia miserable life possible. Bowier'i method of jailing socialist memben of the legislature la In keeping with the other Mexican char acterlstlos of hla administration. It will not prevent, however, other socialist memben from being elected at the next opportunity In thla province; H'l about time the barbarous method ot hanging'thoie condemned to death waa abolished ln Canada. No leaa than Seven' hangings are scheduled for the next three months, weat of -Winnipeg alone.

F. of L. convention at Seattle, practically every apeaker who has addressed the convention having denounced war. The Rev. Sidney Strang, fraternal delegate, declared that "war la a black angel of Capitalism." Attorney-General Bowier la not only an Infernal liar, but a low-down coward. He ihould never again be permitted to addreu a public meeting In Brltlih Columbia. A man who 10: deliberately defames and lies about union .worken, aa Bowier attempted to do at Orange hall laat week when dealing with the atrlke,. ihould be tarred and feathered by the vlctima of hla power and bare-' faced alliance wltb the ooal baroni. Some ot the dally apologists for- the Bowser regime are clamoring tor inoreaaed pay for scab-herders, who have been serving the mine ownen of) Vancouver Inland for the paat few montbs. The dollara-day scale haa resulted In a number of desertions and a mild term of mutiny In the ranki ot militiamen, whoie chief duty waa to keep Bowier'i "ipeclali" out of mischief. To the wage-worker, who hai been fighting for the right to organise ln this province two bit! a week would be more to keeping with tbe services rendered. At any rata the mine ownen should be called upon to pay the bin.

New Weatmlnater* corrnpondent: No, the Retail Employees' Organisation of Brltlih Columbia' la not a branch of the Retail Clerks' International Union, nor la lt afflliated with the central labor body to either Vancouver or. Victoria. Corporatlona generally lncreaae the capitalisation of their companies to tbe limit and then expect their employee! to ply the normal nte of lntereat to coupon-clippers, whether increased wagei come or not An lnduitry or business which cannot pay decent wagea to those who make lt possible has no further claim for existing. Bowier hai hli nerve anyway to face an audience of decent working men. The reception given waa coming to htm. And then aome. The worken are getting wise to his coarse work. True, be ran'away like a criminal at the flrat sign of danger, but that yellow streak Is true of all (la kind. Better let the "special!" do the work after thli. How much longer will union men content to beg ind pray of lawyer politicians and other leglalatlve hired men of tbe big corporations for a few concessions in the' way of labor leglilatlon? Aad then, after they iecure a crumb or two witness the spectacle ot seeing the self-same lawa openly and braienly violated by the mlnliter reipomlble for the enforcement of the lawf Surely this lervlle attitude la unworthy of men. If the memben of organlted labor want labor leglilatlon and want it enforced 'tbey ahould know by thla time what they will have to do to get It Let the workers elect their own representative! and then there will be no further need of begging. Absolutely nothing can be expected from either the Conservative or Liber al partlea.

School!, generally speaking, have failed tb keep up with the wonderfully iwlft paiaage of' eventa In the outside world. Their blunder tog attempts to took on the new without Houghing off the old hare produced a curriculum calculated to give a atudent mental todlgeatton of the wont aort by the time he baa graduated from the grammar achool. Mental indigestion ia not exactly the reeult which ihould be aimed at Something more .than trimming Is needed. The achool system ought to be overhauled altogether and made to Justify,Itself point by point aa to lti ability to-mast the needa.of here and now. By. thli la not meant mere technical training. The aehooli Ought to turn out men and women who will be socially efficient . It Ought to get rid ot the materialism of facta whloh haa. obsessed It and teach, far more than the superficial knack ot handling tool!,-the ldeallam of service. The training ot future cltlieni Is a mighty serious buaineii In a democracy. If It la dona-aa.lt ahould be, the democracy will Suffer, and It Is not done aa lt ahould be unless the flnt emphasis la pleed upon the spirit of service. A wonderful generation li ahead of ui. It may iee the socialization of tpany public undertaking! In this countjp It will certainly demand an anawer lo Social problem! which will require the highest civic Intelligence and the utmost telt-con- trol. An educated, socially conscious cltiienihip ti absolutely necessary. Broad-minded men and women, clear reaaonera. Soberly liberal citizens of the. world should be the fruit of our school system. Let ui have culture If we can. Let ui have technical efficiency If we can. But, above all, let ua have taught, and re-taught, and taught again, day in and day out the leason of cooperation, the lenon ot progress, the lesson of brotherhood.— ■Frisco Bulletin. Folly Trying to Whlotle Paste Away Life la a collection ot* Inexorable facta, ind aU our prejudice! and all our strife arise from our attempts to alter them or eicape from titan. A striking fact today, or rather a itrlk- Ing "complex" of facta, as'the psychologist! would lay, la the so-called economic unrest. Some of us, for material temperamental reaione, dielike the manifestations of thla un- reati othen of us weloome them; but few of ua are able to be aa calm and well balanced about it aa we ought to be about facts. Scholars are about the only people who can dlseuss phenomena Uke the I. W.

Parker, ot the State Immigration Commission, •peaking of thli organlaatlon, "are economic facta to need of aa careful weighing sa the bond sales In the New York stock exchange." And Dr. Parker does weigh them, apparently lit much the same way. The I. W, W., like a doten other manifestations, li a lympton. It haa eauaei. It li a faot, good or bad.

Soclaliit Sciential Dead Alfred Ruuel Wallace, natural scientist evolutlonlit and socialist, la dead at the age ot Si. To him, equally with Darwin aa far aa the clear for mutation of the theory Ot evolution through variation la concerned, belong! the great honor that cornea through thli dlicovery, and to him belong! the.gratitude of mankind for the endless vtitai lt openi up. Darwin, however, continued carefully, painstakingly land with iclentlflo uprightness throughout bis whole life to Investigate ln one flefd. Wallace took up another line, and from the variation of species studied carefully, he entered on the line-of the atudy of the evolution of humanity, and It led him to aocialtim. Hli laat work, written at the age of 90, '-Social Environment and Moral Progress," )b not only a marvalloua Indication of lib rigor of hla Intellect but It li llkewlie a book of Wweptlon- al value in showing that al Individual progress haa not been great during the period of known hlitory, social progress muit take lte place, and a Juater, freer world be Instituted. He li the laat of thoae scientists who, In the middle of the last century, did so much tb unfetter tbe human mind In natural, social and political science. Such men ai Wallace, Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, Thomas Huxley, Lewis Morgan and Herbert Spencer, each to hla separate way, contributed to that vaat world movement which la now known aa socialism.—New Tork Call.

Organlter Proebitle concludes: "It now remains for the new memben to continue to build further and associate themselves with the general labor movement; educate themselves In trades -union council!, and become helpful io. other organliatlona; eipeclally ahould they become supporters of their local labor paper and thereby retain the weapon- of -publicity ao neoeaaary In modern warfare between capital and labor," Reglna Muilclmi' Union Editor B. <j.

OUWlWIIJGB, Room 111, Labor Itoepte, THE REVERENCED HELPLESSNESS OP WOMEN I* the course of aa anU-aoBrage speech the Rev. Dr.: O'Boyle stated that the woman'!", place and duty were home and.motherhood, with a view to rearing good cltlieni. "In- terfertnt ta polities would tend, to take away some of the Oner qualities of womanhood, tn the aame way that: the tact that women had Invaded In- dustry had spoiled women and taken away their greatest eeeet, feminine helpleunen." A writer ln the dally' press recently had aomethlng to say about "a woman's reverenced help- lenneii or meekness." Don the Reverend Father walk around Vancouver * with hla eyei closed f At the preient moment there are In thla olty a great number of glrli and women who are day by day trying their beet to Invade aome branch of lnduitry to get the necessary counters that repreaent food and shelter. Perhaps the Reverend Father will device some means of keeping the bodlei and souls Of women together without food, and their bodies warm without clothes or Shelter that they may remain feminine and charming. .The motherhood,, the divine motherhood, would have very little chance ot expreiilng ltielf today If all Uie women la lnduitry retired from their occupation! and re- lied upon their mala relatione for support. *"V "■ We live ln an age of hard faeta and not aa Ideal dream land, tre have to deal with conditions as they are aad Sot as they ahould he. Within the laat two generations women have been forced from their homes Into Industries. The weaving that women did with the hand loom la now done ln factories requiring the lerrleei. ot hundred! of Women and children; the meat'that atone time waa cured la the smoke-houses to now prepared' In gigantic meat- packing establishments. Butter la made at the creamery, the bread at the bakery. .'■'■ The education ,of the children haa paaaed into the hands ot achool trustees who direct the school curriculum. -. The whole baaii of woman'* life ta the home and ln the labor market haa changed within the laat eighty or a hundred years, and so as woman's sphere hli broadened out, so muit we alio—even the Reverend Father—widen our horhson and assume our share In the problems that lerlously affect the Uvea of men and women alike. The child, the home and the women in the labor market br affected by leglilatlon, the woman must then, If she to to do her duty to home and child, have a right to a voice In the making of such legislation. H. O. PUEUC MlfeTINOS A meeting 1* hsUj every Wednesday at S p.m. la tha Labor Temple, under the aiuplces pf the B. C. Women'! Suffrage League, aad every Monday to the Ue hall, Main atreet, near BroSdway, at I p.m. , Come aad aik qoeitloni or. tell ua your. objection to- women being political voten. MINERS'WIVES KEEN SUFFRAGISTS At a publlo meeting held under the auspices ot the Social Democratic Party on Sunday lait, the' people ot Nanalmo to the number of five hundred or more, went on record aa being unanimously In favor of "the parliamentary, franchise being Slanted to women at the next session of the legislature." Many of the striking mlnen and their wives were present, aad the women, aa a result of the action taken by the government during the recent itrlke and the excessive sentences passed on the minera now In prison, reallie how valuable will be the possession ot the franchise to them at the next general election. The splendid ipirlt of the women to manifest everywhere ln: the atrlke area, in their determination to help their huabanda to win the flght, aad aa alwaya, the attempt of thoae- In power to crush any Sign of rising In rebellion against' the powers that be, haa resulted in an awakening Into Ufe In both men and women, a deter minatlon to win, that nothing can overcome. . H. O, ' THE NEW A suffrage debate haa been 'arranged for November 26 In the Lsbor Temple at I p.*., when Mr: W, J. Conley will state the caae agalnat womea'e Suffrage, THE RIGHTS OP MOTHERS The result of the votes for women campaign ta seen ln the proposed leglilatlon for amending lawa concerning women and the anxiety of the -party preee to show how muoh the attorney-general haa done aad pro- posei doing In thli direction. The untainted reading ths two column ot matter In the Dally Province explaining the amendment to the Infanta' Aot, would alraoet think we had reached the mlllenlum, aad that Mr Bowier'i Ufe work wsi the guarding of mother! and Infant!. The real toiue. however, to entirely overlooked. It Is not the property fights, of their children that mothen are io very anxious about,'It to their own human rights In their children hire and how, and-In spite of the eulogy bestowed ofi the amendment to the Infante* Act, the polities; ot the mother so far aa her human right! are concerned remains the aame aa in the days of Charles II. All that the amendment haa done to that the mother haa the right to be co- guardian to her children with a guardian appointed either by the father or by the courts after the death of the father.- The positions of the mother today to that ihe to not the parent of her child or children snd hsS no right of control only through the courts. - ■■?• It IS very eareTuUy explained how much better legislation to along thto line ln Britlah Columbia when compared w|th the other provinces of the Dominion." Women of B. C. are not concerned with the other province!; they-are asking for* equal rlghta ln their chU- drea In B. C and If comparisons are to be made the women turn to eoun- trlei where women are voten aad have equal i rlghta in their children, aaylng "wo wsnt the name;" The truth to,' thl! sudden activity to amend lawi concerning women and to bolster up preeent lawa by effusive explanations of their scope and value, is the usual attempt to keep back the Inevitable enfranchisement of women. It to too late, Mr. Bowser's opportunity to poee al a friend ot the women paaaed away when the women, after ten yeara' work, faUed to get the leglilatlon they asked for. Let Mr. Bowser, and Sir Richard' MoBride bring In and give full time and opportunity for the passage of a Women's Enfranchisement BUI next session and we shall then take them seriously when they talk of amending lawa and earing for the welfare of chUdren. * H. a Granville Street VAUDEVILLE Where Everybody Goes 500 Gallery Seats at 15c.

THE VALUE OP THE WORKING CARD The writer haa been asked several times since last Issue whereto the demanding ot the. union card to the key to aucceal and so I will endeavor to show wherein lt la, saya a contributor to the San Diego. In the Bret place to have a card a man must be ln good standing and to he that he must pay hla fuel. If he paya hla dues he muit attend the meetings thereby increasing the attendance and also builds up the treasury to defray the neceisary ex- jeuses. A large attendance causes the offlcen to take more Interest ln their work and encourage! thoie who are devoting their energy and sacrl- flces for your good. Then, when you begin to attend the meetinga more often you' begin to reallie the good then to In It and what you spend your money for. And you then will demand that you receive the beat result! for Uie money expended. When you demand a card from a man wbo la delinquent and refuse to work with bim until he get! one, he alwayi wUl want to get even and.be wlU.be waiting and watching ~or wine one else who hain't a card and Insist that aa he had to pay up and get .a card the other fellow wllrhave <to do the aame. And io lt will gd on'until everybody will be demanding .the card then we will awake to our possibilities and the man ln tbe building crafts of this city instead ot saying "please" will say "I demand" and will receive. Now yon men who attend your meetinga and are alwaya there the flrst meeting In the month to pay your duel lnitot that the other man, who derive! the same benefit that you do, pay hla dues aad have a card. Don't think he will aak you tor youn —you are wrong If you do. iTou are the one who must start tbe ball rolling, so Jet ui get lt itarted. WHY MEN SHOULD HELP WOMEN OET THE VOTE there are'eeveral reaaoaa.why mea who are buibaade aad fathers ahould Help, that the conditions of women ihould be Improved, that th* wlvn sad dagghtsra may ba Stars mpect- ed and have a more secure poittioa lh the world. Working men for their own Mkec ihould hup, because the underpayment of women worken-li a serious danger to men. Employen WlU, wherever powtble, turn man off to replaos them with women at a leeier wigs and the fact that woman are obliged to accept uaaU oaralaga often forcee men to aoeept low wages too. It Is wsU known that numben ot women have to Keep themielvei. There It Is Impoestkle to toll them to stay st home. Tta only way that men oaa do sway with the bad af Sets of female competition la to help ths women in their itmggle for equal rlghta—equal pay for equal work. Men ought to waat women to have the vote becauee It we are to hsve strong; Intelligent men nothing ihould be done to hinder the development of the mothen. Further, to give women political reiponilbUity will tasks them mora able to educate thslr ohlldren to be public ipirited and to be worthy cltlieni. A Holland woman haa token the degree of Doctor of Divinity, but the Netherlands Church wU not lit her preach, on account of her eet. Bit ahe can work to help rales: money to .bly the male preachma. That la a prlvUigi always open to women. Truly, a queer world! .*: ^ A paragraph appeared the other day In a paper stating that "Public school No. 4 is very proud of having graduated sixteen young women factory worken, who have- beea attend- Ing apeelal clmee" But women havi not aulllcleot Intelligence to vote In Nov/'Tort!.'. The Union Label We want to call the attention of readen to the union label Onion- made goodi ooet no more than ieab- made goods and you know for an absolute certainty that your gooda were not made by convlota In a penitentiary or by underpaid women'and ckUdna. The union label la a guar antee that the gooda are made under wholeaome condWoaa with regard to aanltatlon and ventilation, and above all, the wagea are the highest that prevail In that Industry. Remember the union label when you buy your next olgar or package of tobacco. Insist on seeing, the. union label on your next pair of shoee that you buy. Look for the Garment Workera' label on your next ault or overcoat 'that you buy. Accept no hat or cap. that doean't. bear the union label and don't forget the union label on your printing. It to neceasary that women be taught to. ask "for the union label. Gooda not bearing the union label have a aad atory behind them. The "Song of the Shirt" brlnga to our notice, in a forceful way the necenl- ty Of avoiding oheap goodi. It la well to think of theie thingi when you make your future purchases.

The women are too good and pure .add must be kept secluded In the home, where man may worship, protect and. die for them. The men who lay thto, and* there are quite a few, are Juit self deceived.' If they really meant all tbey uy would they let an angel woman scrub a floor, would* they alt by and see an angel girl who to underfed do dreary and disgusting work fir A miserable wage and for long hours? Would they allow the holy mother with the divine babe at her breast be aweated and live In foul ilumi? Would tbey look complacently on whilst poverty and the lust of men compel girls to Belt their bodies on the streets for bread? No; they would not!

The name "Builneee Agent," uied in reference to an official of a trade union, immediately evolves In the mlndi ot those not directly in touch with ihe labor movement all shades of opinions and criticisms of some Imaginary person who is not at all like the IndivlduaUIn question, saya the Rochester Labor Journal ; Of all the difficult positions ln life to All, the one of a paid, permanent business agent ot a trade union li the wont. Vision! of eaay tlmea, fat clgara, high salaries, and dictatorial powers fade away completely aa one facee the bare facta of hi! hard and difficult day's work. Take the average business agent, for Instance, ot the Building Tradea. Employer! whose relation! are not so happy, when they want-men, ring up the business agent The men who are out of a Job also report to the busineu igent and he endeavor! to satisfy the men snd supply the employer. A business agent la not sure whieh Ik the most harassing position to be in, to have a lot of men that he cannot.find Jobs for, or have tbe employer driving him for men. v A great deal of diplomacy has to be uaad In lending out men, aa any appearance of favoritism will bring unpleasant and, ln a great majority ot caaei, unjustifiable criticism ot the agent A difficulty arises In a Shop, there. fore he muat trot off to iee If he can straighten thlnga out. Poiilbly he baa to talk plainly to thi bom, per- baps to tbe men, He may not be flnanclal lecretary of tho union, but be takes dues from members, and if there are any back- sliders, be hu the "pleaaant" duty of bringing them to time. .He muit know all the ihopi and the nuniber of men working there. In. fact, uveral agenta have. Ming systems, and If you uk for a man you can be told hla address, where be works, etc., almoit Immediately. He goea after non-union men to build up the organisation, to help to get better conditions, and smiles often at some petty foreman, who, dressed lh brief authority, sheers and Insults him. „ Yea, he smiles, although his blood bolls, at snubs from men many tlmea hla Inferior. Sometime! he handi out a sharp rebuke to a man who, he thinks, Is not giving the organlutlon a Square deal.' Hen who come from other cltlea seek out the buiineu agent He muit attend to them, direct them to Jobi, if there are any, tell them where to. look tor robma, etc., and look after a multitude of other dutlei. Union houra, did you eayt Not for a buiinem agent"' Often he worka fifteen and sixteen houre a day, for he la naturally one of the moat active ln hli own union. He muit not mlu meeting'night-or eiecutive committee meeting!. He is likely to be a delegate, to the Lsbor Council, the Building Trades Council, or the District Council, and takei a heavy share of the work slong legislative lines there. If a strike occurs, hli dutlei magnify, until hii folk* at home rarely see him except early at morning, or late at night High salary? He rarely geta above the average wage of the mechanic or tradesman belonging to -hli union. Many of the better-paid men get more than he, and work leu houra per day. He le the ode, too, to whom the deadbeat telle his story of being broke, to whom the reel hard luck man reveal! hla plight and thli often means a dip Into hla own pocket He knows thst many people who consider themselves respectable look at him ai they pan. He ia aware some employen dlllike him because he li a Dullness* agent, and many men criticise whatever he may do. Why doea he do ltT : Becauee he believes In the' principles of the. trade union movement becauee he knowe the majority appreciate, his hard work, hbi uorlflce, the Hitter pills he hu to iwallow. So he goei on working, fighting for better condition!, doing hli but, making mistakes like every other human being, but learning from them to be better prepared for the future, taking his tarn until someone elee shall take up the burden. Much misrepresented, little under stood outside the labor movement, It ii luoh men thet have made possible thS world-wide advancement by or ganlaatlon of the workera toward better Industrial conditions. Hie Unlucky Days. Seated In a row; on the porch of an old-country Inn, with their chalra tipped beck, lome old cronniei were going on about unlucky days. After all had given what they considered their Un. lucky daya a quiet old chap at one end ■poke np: "Aa'U tell ye ma uniucky daya. Aa'a fund dot In ma t .me that It's unlucky to be atruck wl' leetehlng on a Monday; or te be catched wlv a circular aaw on a Tueeday; or te tumble ower- board on a Wedneaday; or te be run ower by a motor-car on a Thuraday; or lose a ten-pun note on a Friday; or be bitten by a mad dog on • Saturday, aad hev nowt for dinner on the Sunday!" Every 20 Yean OU & U D S 0 N S BAY Identical intereetaf—Nltl Editor B. C, Federationist:—That hoary old lie that "the interest! of Capital and Leber are Identical" fi pretty well playeil out now, and the wonder la that the workera believed it ae long aa they did. The average capitalist believe! It yet and he never cease! to emphasise hii belief whenever and wherever possible, but thanks to ths arbitrary manner In which he has held on to his part of the said identical lnterelta and Ignored the Interest! ot Labor there are very few working men who are still Ignorant of the fact that the interest! of Capital and Labor are diametrically opposed. Whatever business the capltaliat engages In it Is with. the sole idea of making proflt out of it, and the greater the proflti the greater the success of the buiineu. But tbe men he employ! receive no ihare of theu proflti, be they ever so large, They receive a fixed wage, Juit luffldnt to support them from week to week, while the owner keepi for hlmielf sll tbey mske over that .fixed wage. If he employs a hundred men and their combined labor produce! live hundred dollars a day ha certainly doei hot recognlie tho "Identical intereeti" of hli workmen when he payi them two dollars and a half per day* and keepe two and a half for himself, although he may be Laboring under the delusion that he uoee. He halves the day'a product with each Individual workman, and If he employed only one man he would have a better chance of covering up the iteal, becauie each would have one-halt of the day'a product and two dollara and fifty centi Is not iuch a great, big steal that it would make omuh stir In the mind of the average workman. But al the boss divides up with each of hla hundred workmen he gets tiro hundred and fifty dollars as his share, while the hundred workmen have to content themielvei with two hundred and fifty dollara divided up between them. On the ume principle, tf he employed a thouaano men he would get ten tlmea u \ much, while the workmen would get no more than tbelr regular wage—two dollara. Snd fifty cents a day. Great scheme, Im't ltT Thli il the way lt hai always worked. Thli Is the way the lnterelta of Capital And Labor are Identical, It la the anrplui taken from each workman that pile! I up the wealth for the owner, be It cor poration or individual. This Is how the great industrial companies such ai the C. P. R. are able to divide such vast sums amongst tbelr stockholders every year In the shape of dividends. These stockholder! may never even ue the property, and certainly they1 never do a tap of work on It, but they are the ownen and take the lion's ahare ot the proflti, while the men Whose toll and aweat create theu profits are compelled to accept a -wage that ln a large number of cases is barely sufficient to keep them and their families clear of debt Some writen call thia the "exploitation" of labor, but the Soclaliit writer calls it Juit plain robbery! How, then, can the Interests of the robbera and the robbed be identical? ' Now, while a large majority of the worken understand thli robbery they do not undentand the legal way to remedy It ■ Ther«a»vldcking ell the time against the. bosses taking too big a ahare. .They are' quite willing to divide up with their masters to a certain extent but they my the boeeea tire too greedy and don't want to allow them enough to live decently. And when condition! become unbearable .they atrlke. In.many Instance! tbat li Juit what the maatera desire. They themselves are within the law; the itriken are outaldi the pale of the Is*. The view (t the maatera, free {, lice, mllltla;, and j hunt down and c workmen, who fori upon ae Insurgent! the law. They ' . anient j provide! charge, With no- Bgular troops ito Brce tbe striking nonce are looked id rebels agalnat rounded up, cor ralled like so many cattle and sen. fenced to. long terma of imprisonment for merely lookingj»t a strikebreaker. And here ia one thing the average {working man—eipeclally the average union man—does apt aeem to under stand, and that la Oat the Capltaliat system Is solely responsible for the creation of the thing we know as a ■cab or atrikebreaker. But the-capltaliat knowe thnt If the system under which he thrives la to continue there MD* ALWAYS BE A SURPLUS OF UNEMPLOYED! Were there a Job for ..every man capitalism could not continue a year longer! There Is only one remedy tor the preient unfair state of thingi, and thit remedy Is 19 simple that one would Imagine the ..workera would tall over themielves In their eagemeu to epply It But no, theae twentieth century workera seem to be obeiied with eighteenth century brains. Somehow they can't grasp the .idea that the law Itself ii against them. Nearly every law on the atatute book! today li a clue law, drawn up by capitalist-minded (olau conscious) politician! in the Interests of the governing clui, which li their own clan, and u long, aa theie clui lawa remain on the atatute booki 10 long win the muter clui hold the power to do u they pleaae. They are backed by the government, the court!, the army, navy, police, the press Shd a boat of other sycophantic Initttutlohi that draw their very existence from the present lyitem. The muten' action! are alwayi legal; the strikers' action! sire alwaya illegal. And the workera It la who elect the government that li alwaya "agin1 them." * • Obvlouily, then; the. only remedy Is for the workeri to capture the legislatures and parliament—and u the workeri are tbe vait majority of voters this would be no difficult tsk— so 11 to be able to pan laws in their own behalf. I do not. mean clau lawa; we have too many <jf them now, What the whole civilised world need! ll a syBtem of .plain, simple laws tor ALL THE PEOPLE There la obly one way to do this.. -'SJ.. Many workera who are clearly able to size up the situation often Stultify their alms by voting for what they term, a "good man" In one or other ot the two great political partlea. They ought to know that the "good man'! la atlll a Liberal or a Conservative and MUST VOTE WITH HIS PARTY or get out of politics. More often the "good man" Is run by scheming party managen aa a bait to catch the votei of iuch simple-minded workeri whole thinking apparatus li more or leu befogged. It hai beep proved over ind over again that the ."good man" li powerless to do anything for labor. There li only one political partv that standi for. the rlghta of all workeri, for the freeine of labor from lta present servile condition, for the uplift of alt humanity, for. the real free- WHO RUNS UNION? There are memben of unlona who are continually complaining about the way their union li run but who never help run It They pay their duel when tbey are urged to but never attend a meeting If they can get out of It and when they do they generally come to the conclusion that those wbo are doing all tbe work which they themselves are neglecting constitute a little ring having a desire to run things. The fact ot the matter la that lt these few active members did not do the work they are doing that nothing would be done at all. It they run the union It la only because the members of the union tall to attend the meetings and aee to lt that thlnga are run by a larger number. If any action is taken tbat does not ault any member.of a union and iuch displeased member wu not present at the meeting at which the action wai taken he ihould blame hlmielf a whole lot more than anybody elu. It wai hii business to be there and make nil argument on the floor of the union. If he neglected to do thli he ihould keep hli peace afterwardi.' It the nature of the action be auoh that he believes lt should be different he should at leut go to the next union meeting and there rlgliter hli kick instead ot whining outside and never going near the meeting. Is the final analysis It li the member! of every labor union who run' It It they fall to attend meetinga they are doing that wblch If Sll did It would kill the union. Every member who stays away from a meeting of hie union la doing that much to kill It The smaller the attendance la the wone lt goea and when the attendance ceases the union li dead. ** Don't be among thou who complain about aomebody running, the union when you are neglecting to do your part. Better blame younelf for everything that goes wrong becauie you are a part of the union end failure to attend meetings la a far worse offence tban making a mistake trying to do something. R you attend the meeting end get voted down by what you call the ring, don't quit In disgust and leave the ring to complete control but itay with and induce the othera to attend the meetings to help straighten matters out No ring can run a union If the memben do their duty. The majority can alwaya run their own union whenever/they want to. It la their plain duty to do thla Instesd ot Sulking In the back-ground and knocking.—Eureka Labor Newi. * CARNEGIE'S LIBRARIES.
