FIVE CENTS PER COPY ^tWl *> Q> ,0 o >■■■ 'A 'A Wishing Our Readers And Friends ~ A Happy And Prosperous New Year b a i Three Achievements of Organized Labor * Organized laborjs responsible for three great achievements in behalf of labor, every one of which justifies your, history and your ,'• "' sacrifices. The first is the effort to secure a reasonable wage, a.living wage,, in return for your efforts and your toil. Second "is the .,.effort to secure more reasonable hours. Time was when the laborer's day extended from sunrise to sunset, from the daylight to the dark, when inien were little more than dumb drjven slaves. This emancipation is to the credit—I hope I am not extravagant when I say—to the glory of organized labor. Still another achievement which justified'your existence is the , improvement in the'condition, not only of men—that iritflsclf would be enough to justify your existence—but the still greater achievement in securing belter working conditions for women and for the younger laborers. The emancipation of .men in this respect is due to justice; the emancipation of women, not only to justice, but to. humanity. Both of these achievements justify your existence.— " Ex-Senator Gore of Oklahoma.
