WORKMAN WHO SOLDIERS.

The member of a labor union who
does not give a fair day's work to
Ms employer Is a cheat and is doing
inralcueahle harm to organized labor.
.More Is expected of a union man
that there is of a non-union man.

rendered, and failure to come up to
the average i*n quality of woik and
failure to perform an average day's
work Is harmful to the general

difficult to secure increased wages,

WHAT THE LABOR MOVEMENT
REQUIRES.
What the labor movement requires
not so much an effervescent effort,
but real live men. men who are ac-
tive and alert at all times. A hand-
ful of such men is worth an army.
spasmodic effort. It needs real
live men. Those that are dead, or
only work in spasms, are only fit for
he cemetery. When they are dead
we reverently lay them to rest in the
eipulchre of the dead. But while
they live, yet their actions, or lack
of them, have no more effect than
those of the dead, their influence
has a prejudicial effect on the move-
ment, they are cucumlbers of the
ground and their actions dampens
the ardor of those who would other
wise be really alive in the movement.
They are dead to all energy and ef-
fort and their example has a deaden-
ing effect on those with whom they
come in contact. The labor move-
ment needs more Pauls and less
Peters and Thomases.
Peter was ready to cut off the head
of the high priest, and it was well
for that individual that he (Peterl^
was not an expert swordsman, or
he head would have come off instead
of the ear. Contrast that Peter with
the other one, that denied all his pre-
vious professions at the crucifixion.
Spasmodic action has a contrary ef-
fect to what those engaged in it ex'
pect and leads others to doubt its sin-
cerity.
When Paul was bad he was bad be-
cause it was his nature to do every-
thing thoroughly. When he became
good he was just as thoroughly in
earnest in everything he undertook
to do, and a handful of men in the la-
bor movement, ot the same makeup
as was the great apostle would soon
revolutionize conditions.
We cannot all be Pauls, but we cart
by our persistent, hard, determined
and tireless effort and devotion to
the cause give it such an impetus as
will accelera'e its movement and pusl^
it on to the highway of success. At
the same time we should throw off
the selfishness that is the fault of
all. more or less, and be ready to Tie-
come all things to all men, if the good
of the cause is prospered by our ac-
tions.
One hundred men of this character
in any labor union would raise it to
a pinnacle of prosperity and success,
while a thousand halting, undecisive
characters would bring it into dis-
grace.
Let us for the good of the cause
sink our own little idiosyncracies and
be determined to devote all our lives
and energies to its success.
No one can he pointed ont as an ob-
ject lesson of success with greater ef-
fect than the quiet, unassuming mil-
lionaire, who grasped the opportuni-
ties presented toy Oklahoma City and
the great Southwest.
