As he sits .there softly sighing
For his fancy takes him back to college

And he hears the breakers foaming
On the gulf shore as he’s roaming
O’er the spot which once the Island City
lay;
God decreed its extirpation,
Nature spread there desolation,
Now the sweetheart of my chilanood is
no more,
But in heaven above he’ll meet her,
For death took him there to greet her;
Like the ardor of his youth, he passed
away.

The question of the hour in Galveston
The barbers of El Paso, Tex., have won
their fight for Sunday closing. It only
lasted about four days, when the bosses
saw they were up against the proposi-
tion right and had to give in to the em-
ployes. This is about the fifth strike in
the historoy of the Barbers’ Union all
over the country, and none one of them
has been lost.
Mr. Charles Anderson, member of the
Screwmen’s Benevolent Association, just
returned from El Paso this week, and
reported that the barbers had won their
Sunday closing fight. That the trade
for all mechanics is good in the far away
western Texas city. Carpenters get as
high as $4.50 a day, and a demand for
carpenters at that.

Labor is powerful if they would only
use their power in the right manner. In
this world of progress and success labor
should not be in the rear. Do your duty
as you understand it; pay no attention
to the kicks of the masses; heed not
those who condemn the leaders, because
they are the people who want to see
dissension in our ranks. It is the custom
of the outside world to cast all sorts of
slurs and accusations to the man who
is taking an active part in the labor
world; then the labor union man should
be the last one to place discredit to their
leader and thereby cause remarks among
the ranks against him. Personal confi-
dence in the men who serve the organi-
zation and the whole organization should
be the thoughts of those who do not do
the work. When you hear this or that
union man accused of doing wrong by
one who is not one of you, cast ne in-
sinuation aside and ridicule the idea as
being one of falsehood and malice.. Make
the lives of those who do the work a
pleasure rather than a burden, and you
will find more men seeking to hold the
different offices in your local unions. You
will not have to go begging for some
person to fill them.

rule applies to the goods you buy that
some other union man makes. Adopt
the simple rule that if an article does
not bear the union label you will not
buy it. There is nothing else for a good,
conscientious union man to do. This is
the law of his organization, so far as his
label is concerned, and it should be
adopted for that of every other craft.
Another union man has been elected to
the office of Mayor over the opposing
parties, both Republican and Democratic.
This was done at South Bend last week.
Thus the members of organized labor are
going right into politics from one end of
the States to the other. Keep it up, and
the final result will be the downfall of
the trusts, boodle politicians and combi-
nations, and we will have a clean gov-
ernment.
is said that a man is entitled to no
credit for doing his duty, but I think in a
labor organization every member who
does his duty and does it well is entitled
to all the credit coming from the or-
ganization and the members. Reward
your members who are the faithful ones;
let them know you appreciate their ef-
forts and success will crown your efforts.
' forts.
Honesty should be the watchword of
every labor union man. Unless the rank
and file of the organization have honest
men at the head of them they can not
expect to have the confidence of ie
whole membership. When you find out
that you have a man in office that is
both honest and capable keep him there
until he will accept the place no longer,
and then do not condemn him at every
turn in the road for some little act that
every member does not understand. It

The union label is the working card of
every labor organization in this country.
Every union man should do anything on
earth but buy an article that does not
bear the union label. All this talk about
the union kind not being as good as the
other trust made articles is all bosh. If
you heard a union man say that the ar-
ticle produced or manufactured by you
was not as good, as the trust made goods
you would be very angry. This same

This is the Label of the Hatters’ Union.
When you are buying FUR RAT, either soft or stiff, see to it that '
the Genuine Union Label is sewed on it. If a retailer has loose "
label in his possession and offels to put one in a hat for you do not
patronize him. He has no rignt to loose labels. Loose labels in •
retail stores are counterfeits. Do not listen to any explanation as I
to why the hat lias no label. The Genuine Union Label is perfor- !
ated on the edges exactly the same as a postage stamp. Counter- 1
feits are sometimes perforated on three of the edges and sometimes '
only two. Keep a sharp lookout for the counterfeits. ,

Evidence Showing a Trusts, at
Meeting in New York.
Organized labor is evolving social prob-
lems which can not be solved by concen-
tration of capital.
--------o---—-
Some of the Pennsylvania politicians
in every county of the State organized
labor should have one or more good,
honest, consistent men as candidates for
the Legislature in the coming campaign,
and should see that they are elected.
Don’t say that somebody is trying to use
the union to boost themselves into office
or anything of that kind, but select one
of the Best men and push him to the
front and see that the boys get out and
elect him on election day.
In this way and in this way only we
believe is the salvation of the interests of
the trades union movement in having the
laws enacted that are of the greatest
benefit to the wage-earners, and not in
forming political parties that can not
command the respect or support of the
people at the polls.
The meetings in conventions and pas-
sage of resolutions are all right as far as
they go, but they do not go far enough.
Ex-Governor Routt placed the matter
very aptly and pointedly when he re-
marked to a delegation or laboring men
that visited him for the purpose of advo-
cating some legislation, when he said, as
he turned around from his desk in the
Governor’s office! “You boys are all
light, and you mean all right, but don’t
you know that you resolute too damn
much and don’t vote enough.” This as a
matter of fact is the truth, placed in the
very blunt and forceful language of one
of the best Governors that Colorado or
any other State ever had. We do legis-
late, resolute and meet too much, and
we don’t vote enough for our own people.
Geet down to business this fall and
elect enough of our own kind of people
to the Legislature and State Senate so
that we can have some laws that we
want passed and put in practice that
will result to the benefit of the people.

of cigars will have to come under the
protection of the union or go out of busi-
ness, or be swallowed up by the trust,
The Cigarmakers’ Union hereby en-
deavors to call the attention of the gen-
eral public, and especially the smoking
public to the conditions that now exists
in this community.
The American Tobacco Company, the
tobacco and cigar trust, is carrying on a
most vigorous campaign against the
Cigarmakers’ International Union of
America, and their purpose is to get the
entire control of the cigar and tobacco
interests of this country, and they are
leaving no stones unturned in their en-
deavor to accomplish this question.
The methods of the cigar trust, briefly
stated, are to give presents, reduction in
prices in the shape of discounts, long
time credit, and a big reduction in
smoking and chewing tobaccos with every
order for cigars, and whenever possible
they will refuse to sell certain brands of
tobacco that is in demand unless the
dealer will take a large supply of cigars.
They will endeavor to get the dealer in
the debt of the trust and then force him
to handle trust cigars under threat of
foreclosure and financial ruin. They will
keep up these tactics in the hope of
finally controlling the trade, and if they
succeed, woe betide the jobber and small
dealer, who will then ffe forced out of
business as sure as the sun rises in me
east and sets in the west.
If the trade is to be kept out of the
merciless clutches of the trust, all who
are now interested will have to work to-
gether for self-preservation. The Cigar-
makers’ International Union is a bulwark
that the trust can never overcome. All
Proof of a “conspiracy of a trust and
a pool on the part of J. Pierpont Morgan
and his railway interests to control an-
thracite coal could easily have been ob-
tained by the Attorney General.
The‘whole subject of the relations and
connections of the railroad with the coal
operators was discussed fully in the
special report of the committee which
investigated the labor troubles in the
anthracite regions in 1887-1888.
That committee obtained possession of
the minutes of a meeeting held at the
house of J. Pierpont Morgan. The meet-
ing was composed of a “number of gen-
tlemen representatives of the anthracite
interests.” It was called by Mr. Morgan.
This committee suggested that the
State of Pennsylvania could settle the
whole matter by proper legislation, but
it also said the Federal Government
could interfere as follows:
“One of the best means by which the
Federal Government can restrain the
joint monopoly of mining and carrying
anthracite coal is to put bituminous coal
on the free list, so as to let Novia Scotia
and New ‘ Brunswick comepte with the
anthracite regions of Pennsylvania.”
This committee evidently thought that
the way to hit the trusts was through
the tariff.

STOKK-
The labor problem and the trusts is a
question that should be given due con-
sideration by every thinking man of the
twentieth century. It is a known fact
that the labor organizations are the only
people in this country that are keeping
the trusts and the money monopoly in
check. If they can not do it entirely by
the boycott system, then they will re-
sort to legislation. This is a point in
favor of the labor organizations that the

trusts. They receive notice from the
different trusts in the country at differ-
ent times notifying them that from a
certain date the price of a certain ar-
ticle will be advanced to such a price,
and they will not be permitted to sell
them for any less. If the wholesaler
dares to go contrary to the orders of
their boss their heads are cut off imme-
diately, and they can receive no more
goods from that trust. If it were not
lor the check that is put on them by the
labor unions they would advance the
price of every necessary of life until it
would only be a short time until we
would all be slaves of the corporation
and the trust.
The only logical position for the busi-
ness man to take, then, is the support
of the labor organization, to the end that
they may eventually defeat any politi-
cal candidate whom they know to be in
league with the trust. Stand by the
people who are standing by the Govern-
ment of this country to-day.

1 he cigar and tobacro trust are trying
a new method to get control of the en-
tire trade of the country for their goods,
and in order to prevent the union labor
organizations of that trade from growing
in the way of demand for their goods
with the union label. It is the scheme
of the trust to establish branch houses
all over the country, retail cibar and to-
bacco stores for the sale of their goods.
They have some of them already estab-
lished, and more to follow in rapid suc-
cession.
In the last two years the scheme has
been tried by many of the concerns, and
it has been found to pay. The story is
given to the public that the consumer
can not get as good a cigar or tobacco
with the union label on the package as
the other’ kind, and thereby prevent the
sale of the union kind. Then they tell
the story that they can not sell any of
the union goods as they have no call for
them, consequently it does not pay to
handle them.
Here in Galveston we are soon to have
one of these trust stores. It will be fit-
ted up in the most elaborate style, and
all of the usual scab cigars will be placed
on sale. Here you can not find a brand
of a union cigar that would be fit to
smoke, because it is their policy to put
in some of the cheapest trash it is pos-
sible to get, in order to lead the people
to believe that they must smoke their
own goods to get a good smoke. This is
no idle story, nor is it without founda-
tion. The trusts of the country are
bound to control the whole works, no
matter what the people think about or
how much they howl. So long as the
people allow the politician to run the
laws of the country to suit himself, just
so long must they expect the trusts to
have complete control.
We have in Galveston cigars that are
manufactured at home that are just as
good as can be found anywhere in the
country. We have the men who make
them living here, making their living
here, spending their money here, and
