I believe that in union there is strength. I believe in the union
I represent, in the cause I am fighting for and my ability to win the
fight, and in the pleasure of defending my’union. I believe a man
cet get what he goes after and that a fight today is worth a war to-
morrow. I believe no man has taken the count until he’s down and
out and hast lost faith in himself. I believe in today and in the fight
I am waging, in tomorrow, in the battle I hope to continue and in
the future for a decided victory. I believe in genuine backbone, as-
sociated with the best brand of grit, sandwiched with the ability to
look the whole world in the face, and all forfeited with a pure heart,
born of a noble birth and parentage. I believe I am a man of this
caliber. Amen.

Any member of a union who thinks his union is a slot machine
where you stick in your dues and hope for a payoff in better work-
ing conditions, is all wet.
Neither is a union a shop where a member buys shorter hours
and higher wages.
Nor is it a business, for it does not sell anything to anybody.
A union is a co-operative enterprise—a democratic body of work-
ers, in which each member does-his share of work and takes his share
of responsibility. Its measure of success is the measure of co-opera-
tion of its members.
A member’s responsibilities for the welfare of his union—and
himself—only start with the payment of his dues. That is but a small
item. He must go much further. He must help build his union’s
strength by getting new members. He must talk union wherever and
whenever he has opportunity—correct false impressions, state facts.
He must always be aware of what the officers and representa-
tives are doing and must feel free to make constructive suggestions
and helpful criticism.
He must attend meetings, read his official journal and keep
posted and up-to-the-minute on union affairs.
He must be intelligently informed on why his union was formed
•—the necessity that inspird it, and what are its aims and how it is
working to attain those aims.
He must know how and why it is fighting for closed shops, col-
lective bargaining, decent and livable working conditions and eco-
nomic security for its members.
He must know what is going on in the labor movement, in gen-
eral, the part his union is playing in that movement and the reasons
for it.
In short he must feel that his union is his own organization;
that he is a vital unit in a co-operative effort to improve his indus-
try and all who are connected with it.—The American Flint.

FAVOR THE
SUNDAY CLOSING LAW
FOR
Grocery Stores, Fruit Stands and
Meat Markets
We would like to see an All-Day Sunday Closing Law
for Grocery Stores, Fruit Stands and Meat Markets. A
state law authorizing incorporated cities to regulate their
Sunday closing of various lines of business and a city
ordinance with public sentiment behind its enforcement
should accomplish a satisfactory solution to this problem.

By Dr. Charles Stelzle.
It was a murdered who first asked the question. He asked it in
an attempt to create an alibi. He used it to switch the argument
from the main issue. He attempted to get away from the cold truth
and raise a heated sociological discussion. But Cain could not avoid
the fact that he had murdered his brother Abel.
There are some men today who would promptly deny that they
are their brothers’ keepers, but, according to the rules of civilized
people, they are their brothers’ murderers. This may seem like a
brutal statement, but let’s examine a few facts. It should be borne
in mind that not all murderers use “gats” and daggers. For example,
it is quite as possible to murder a little child with a rotten tenement
as it is to do it with a battle axe.
When an industrial concern maintains dark, dirty shacks for
its employees, denying them even the commonest conveniences—no
sewers, no water, no sanitary facilities—with the result that those
who live in them are already on the undertaker’s list, it is murder.
When a factory owner fails to make adequate provision for escape
from fire, when he refuses to supply even the minimum of safety
devices, he is a potential murderer. When, merely to add to his
profits, a manufacturer uses impure materials and sells them for
pure food, causing people to become sick and to die, that manufac-
turer is a murderer. A
The question as to whether men of this type are their “brothers’
keepers” cannot enter into our discussion, because their action belies
every argument they might offer. Most of us, and this includes
every decent employer in the country, would agree to the condem-
nation of those who wilfully bring suffering and death to helpless
people.
We instinctively become indignant when such things are done
to individuals, 'but what about nations whose armies ruthlessly de-
spoil a whole people, destroying its homes, wrecking its institutions,
stealing its treasures and its lands, devastating its accumulated
riches of culture and religion, and killing thousands of its women
and children—at the same time piously declaring that they have “the
divine righto rule”? Can such nations escape their responsibility,
and shall they be free from the penalties which are imposed upon us
as individuals ?
To such nations comes the same condemnation—although in
larger measure—that came to the first murderer. And here is the
condemnation as recorded in sacred history: “The Lord said unto
Cain, Where is thy brother?’ And he said, ‘I know not: am I my
brother’s keeper?’ And the Lord said, What hast thou done? The
voice of .thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. * * *
A fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth’ * * * And
Cain said unto the Lord, ‘My punishment is greater than I can
bear’.”
