15335 An Anchor to Windward As the mariner casts an anchor to windward to prevent his ship drifting on the rocks, so should the wage earner do. The saving-, systemetic saving, of a portion of one's salary each week, and depositing it where it will draw interest, is an anchor that will prevent one's bark from drifting on the rocks of adversity when old ae or sickness come as come they will. Saving is as mud; a habit as profligacy, but it is a far better one. It is never too late to begin the cultiva tion of the habit of saving. Begin now by depositing with us a portion of your every pay check. We'll put it to work for you. FOUR PER CENT INTEREST paid on deposits.

To induce the 4- If. largest possible number to pur- f chase union label goods is the X most important work the unions f, centage of the population sup- porting union label goods the union label is a great power for X the betterment of the wages and conditions of the workers. How much greater power would it be if this percentage were multi plied! How many people can you influence in this direction? That is the question. UNIONISTS TRIUMPH. Break In the Forces Arrayed Against Labor In Los Angeles. Since May 19, 1910, the unionists of Los Angeles have been struggling for the right to organize, which right has been denied them by well organized employers. On the date mentioned the men of the brewing industry were obliged to leave their places. Shortly afterward the iron trades were drawn into the combat. The issue was the same. A few days ago the Wieland agency of the Wieland Brewery of San Fran cisco and the agency of the San Diego Brewing company settled their differ ences with their former employees. The agreement reached grants the union shop, an increase of $1 a week in wages for the workmen and the removal from the breweries of the strike breakers. This is cheering news. We congrat ulate heartily the trade unionists im mediately concerned as well as those who are still engaged in battle. The omen is good. Victory rests with the wage earners as the result of the com pletion of this long drawn out contest. This, however, is but a preliminary triumph, and others are sure to come speedily in its wake. By it the back bone of the opposition to trade union ism in the cruelly stricken and op pressed California city is broken, and it is only necessary now for the union ist forces to charge with an unwaver ing front all along the line. By so do ing they will soon sweep their bitter and malignaift foes into the public con tempt they so richly merit. PLAY DAY. FOR CHILDREN. Plan to Make Labor Day Greatest Holiday of the Year. A plan which may result in making Labor day a national play day was suggested by Francis T. Simmons, president of the Lincoln park board, at the dinner given recently by the Plaj'ground Association of Chicago to Joseph Lee, president of the Play ground Associatin of America. Mr. Simmons suggested that all park boards and commissions and all char itable and other similar organizations should begin preparation at once to make Labor day the biggest holiday of the year. The suggestion was sec onded by Jane Addams, who in her address added the further suggestion that a law be passed to convert ev ery vacant lot into a playground until sold for use as a building site. Mr. Lee, who spoke of the work of the Playground association, said that Chicago led the country in play spots for children. "Play is growth; it is the way a child becomes a man," he said. "The sports of today are too unreal. In baseball and football and other games we buy some one else's play. What we need to do is to encourage the 'big Injun' spirit of the boy, but encourage li under supervision." SCHOOL OF UNIONISM. In the public schools the child receives the rudiments of educa tion. He is taught to read, to spell, to write and to figure and nowadays is given the elements of some accomplishments, but he is quite likely to leave the public schools and to enter upon the field of industrial effort with very distorted individualistic ideas. It is the mission of the school of unionism to complete his edu cation and to teach him knowl edge of real life and its strug gles. But the school of unionism has ' no age limit. It is open to work ers of all ages. Its lessons and its benefits are" open to all, and it gives to every member the op portunity through association or mental competition with his fel low members to develop his own intellectual powers to the fullest extent. It' teaches the lesson of unity, which is the ultimate expression of the power of combination, and in proportion as the wagework ers individually and collectively learn, heed and practice the les sons taught in the school of un ionism In just that proportion will their present conditions im prove and in just that propor tion will their opportunities for future advancement bo enhanced. Insurance For Workers. Pending the establishment of state or federal old age pensions and state provision for the widows and orphans of the workers the Massachusetts plan of permitting savings banks to sell life insurance and annuities practically at cost is a great benefit to those who can afford to take advantage of it Painter and Decorator.
