KNOCKERS AND BAD KICKERS.
How Some Union Men Help Along
the Labor Movement.
When you find a man working for
the success of your union, always
make it a point to abuse and vilify his
character. Get all the other members
you can j)ossibly can to assist you.
Tell everybody you know that he is
"looking for the best of it;" that he
is 'out for the stuff.''
If you find him present at every
meeting making his report for the
Central Body, Building Trades' Coun
cil, or the Label League, always vote
Building Trades Council, always vote
against his recommendations. Criti
else his work and put "him down as a
"fakir." No matter how much he neg
lects his wife and family at night at
tending to your business and working
to your interest, when he presents his
bill for car fare and expenses, some
don't get even this, get all your friend3
to support your motion to "lay the bill
on the table." If by persuasion and ar-
gument he secures the city work on
public buildings for union labor, tell
all your friends he is a politician and
selling you out to the "gang." If h<
spends six or eight Sundays preparing
a scale of wages for your union or by
laws, and rfe presents a written re|>ort
that you couldn't write, and his report
is adopted, get all your friends to hoi
ler that he is a tool ot the bosses,
It he favors meeting the employe*
a conciliatory cpirit and by intelligence
and common sense (that you never
had) converts them to his way o
thinking, put hlzn down as ;■ ftcab. i
you can not defeat him anw other wav
and he happens >o work in the same
shop, with you, bump him if you can
tell the foreman or the boss that h<
is killing time, that he can not hold
his end up with you, and is no me-
chanic, no matter now his family may
suffer, have him discharged. Then go
home, and if you have children of your
own. look in their innocent faces and
ask the good God to lorgive you for
your dirty work.—Stone Cutters' Jour-
nal.

LABOR NEWS
307 NORTH ROBISON STREET
There is so much pleasure in pub-
lishing a labor paper that some edi-
tors are refusing money as a reward
for their services. . Here is the voice
of a North Dakota editor, which fair-
ly gurgles with the joy he feels to
work without money:
• It takes wind to run a labor paper.
It takes gall to run a labor paper. It
takes acrobatic imagination and a rail-
road pass to run a labor paper. But
money—heavens to Betsey and six
hands around, who ever needed money
to run a labor paper? Kind words are
tht medium exchange that do busines-
j for the t'ditor—kind words and church
social tickets. When you see an edi-
tor with money watch them, i ney will
be paying bills and disgrace the pro-
fession. Make him trade it out. He
lives to swap. Then when you die, af-
ter having stood around and sneezed
at his little jimcrow paper, be sure
and ha°ve your wife send in for thre«
extra copies by one of the children,
and when she reads the generous no-
tices about you. forewarn her to neg-
lect to send 60 cents to the editor.
The editor knows it and what he want*
is neartfelt thanks.0Then he can than*
the printers and they can thank the
grocer. Don t worry "Tibout the editor.
He has a charter from the state to
act as a uoor-mat for the community.
He'll get the paper out somehow and
stand up for you when you run for
otflce.'and lie about your pigeon-toe 1
daughters wedding and blow about
your big-footed ooya when they get
a $4 per weeK job, and weep over your
shriveled soul when it is released from
your'grasping l>o ly. and smile at your
giddy wife's second marriage to Van
Tassell. I^e'll get along. The Lord
only knows how, but the editor will
get there somewnow."
