6. We believe that ample protection
should be given to capital honestly ac-
quired and judiciously invested; that all
factories and other industries employing
labor should be encouraged to find a
home within our midst, especially those
engaged in the manufacture of home
products, such as cotton, etc., with such
provision by law that will prevent them
from using the infant labor of our State
for their own interest.

Chicago, 111., Sept 26.—Daniel Furman
has been secretary-treasurer of the Truck
Drivers’ Union since its organization,
and has also been one of its representa-
tives in the Teamsters’ Joint Council and
Federation of Labor. He has proved a
useful official of the new organization,
as he understands the manner in which
unions should be conducted.
Forty-eight contractors who refuse to
pay the union scale of wages will suffer
from strikes, it is asserted, if they do
not sign the Cement Finishers' and Help-
ers’ agreement. Business agent Gegen-
beck has been instructed to order strikes
is necessary.
One hundred employes of Felix Kahn
& Co., 195 Market Street, are on strike
for an increase of wages amounting to
about* per week each. The strikers
are mostly women.
Organizers John J. Fitzpatrick of the
Federation of Labor gave out a state-
ment last night that certain individuals
outside of the organized labor movement
were charging working men and women
for organizing them.
"There is no charge for organizing
unions,” ’said he. “Every union is ex-
pected to pay its charter fee to the
American Federation of Labor or its
national or international union. If any
individual asks pay for organizing a
union he is a swindler, I can say, how-
ever, that no one connected with the
American Federation of Labor has been
guilty of this. All expenses outside of
charter fees have been paid by the lat-
ter.”
W. D. Mahon, president of the Amal-
gamated Association of Street Railway
Employes, is in Berlin, Ontario, where
the Canadian Trade Union Congress is in
session, and can not arrive in Chicago for
several days to look into the grievances
of the local street car men.
J udge Grosscup is expected to return
to Chicago in time to take up the ad-
vance in wages asked vy the Calumet
Street Railway employes. They want
18 and 21 cents an hour instead of 18
and 20 cents.
Furniture Drivers and Helpers have
agreed upon a new scale of wages with
the Retail Furniture Dealers’ Associa-
tion. A substantial increase in wages has
been granted.
Nearly 200 general merchandise callers,
bill clerks and checkers met at 104 Ran-
dolph Street last night and organized a
union under the auspices of the Chicago
Federation of Labor.

2. We realize that all wealth is created
by the labor of the people, and that all
government is for their mutual benefit.

You have seen him. He is in our ranks.
He joined the union from force of cir-
cumstances. His name is enrolled on
our list of deadheads.
He made one effort to think for a
moment, was jerked away from the boss’
coat tail, and there he sits squt-legged,
afraid to move lest he offends the boss.
He occasionally attends a meeting,
opens his mouth, drinks in the entire
proceedings, and let it run through him
like water through a sieve. When the
meeting is over he sneaks out the back
way so as not to be seen by the boss.
He hitches on to the union as the “hobo”
hitches on to a freight train, to be drawn
somewhere with no effort on his part.
He never takes any unionism in the
work with him for daily use. The bur-
dens he can not conviently cast upon the
other members he will lay before the
foreman. He don’t enthuse or encourage
the other members. He never tries to
add one more to the list of new mem-
bers. He is the first to criticise the offi-
cers, the first to demand the benefits of
the Union, and the first to kick and
swear that the union is no good if he
does not win every point and pay him
back $5 for every cent he has invested as
dues. He breeds more discontent and
creates more strikes in his sneaking way
7 S. T. FONTAINE
Union labor was never so strong in its
history as now.
I he time when people held the idea
that it was the scheme of visinary cranks
is past and the most conservative ac-
knowledge that there is something in it.
This is an age of organization, and the
workingmen are just beginning to find
out for themselves that only by organi-
zation can they hold their own in the
battle of life. The employers form their
associations, and if the men are not as
a unit they have them on the run. If all
labor was organized, as it should be, the
men who do the work would get a share
of the proceeds, as there would be no
scabs to fall back on, as there is now.
The manly way in which the labor
question is handled by the unions force
the respect of its enemies and the recog-
nition of the people who have heretofore
ignored the workingman’s side of the
question.
The meanest sneaks i-n the whole push
—meaner than its open enemies—are the
workingmen who are every day enjoying
the benefits of wages secured them by
united effort, and who affect to despise
the unions and their claims . These fel-
lows ought to be provided with bass-
wood bills and turned out on the manure
pile to rustle with the ducks.

Labor Organizations the Best Thing for
the Workingmen.
Men join labor organizations with dif-
ferent objects in view: some with sel-
fish ends and motives, others with the
intention and desire to better their con-
ditions, to elevate mankind, and edu-
cate themselves on the social and eco-
nomic questions of the day. Some join
so that they may have the name of ve-
ing members and have the privilege of
working on union jobs; others that they
may carry a union working card and
proclaim themselves loudly in public to
be upholders of the union and fighters
for right and justice, so that they may
prove to some political leader that they
belong to an army whose vote has a
telling effect on the destinies of the na-
tion when properaly used. . Such men
as the latter are always behid in their
dues, seldom or never attend meetings,
do not know what is going on in the labor
world, become indifferent and finally
drop out altogether. Yet they call them-
selves union men and glory in what they
have done in the past. Let me remind
them that “it is not what we have been
but what we are” that counts these days.
When we join a labor union we should
be determined to live up to the prom-
ises we made to do our part faithfully
and well,. to assume some of the respon-
sibilities of the organization, to ease the
burden of the officers, to give our ad-
vice on questions of importance as they
come up, and above' all to attend the
meetings regularly and see that business
is transacted in a proper manner. In
tills way a labor union can be built up
to a power whose influence will be felt,
whose character will be respected and
whose standing will be acknowledged su-
perior to all other organizations. We
should hold our unions in the hignest
esteem, and take a pride in belonging to
them. The kickers, the gr nnblers, the
dissatisfied and the stay- .ways should
be dealt with liberally, allowed to vent
their grievances when present, encour-
aged to attend the meetings as often as
possible, and so weaned from their mean
ways that they will finally admit they
were in the wrong, and that the union
is the best thing after all for their pro-
tection, advancement and education. We
are banded together to help one another.
Then let us join hands* in friendship and
good will, and so make a new start. Re-
member, “It is never too late to mend.”
