In s.,me organizations the success lias heen phenomenal. There has been great pro cress in se ■ urinp the eight-hour day or the short er workday. The meaning of the vic tories cun tie interpreted only in the light of full understanding of the tm-uning of the eight-hour day. The rter v rkduy is something more than an economic demand. It Is a de mand for opportunity for rest, recu peration and development: things h, h make life more than mechanical drudgery. The workers whose whole periods a* 'ii' r: are essentially different from •.*i •».• ■> ho lire v,, worn by toil that they have neither energy nor mind for Tier things in lift*. They become ■ rgetic. more resourceful work ers v.. • h . . - ntality and greater j.r «ji|.-:nc |.r it inevitably follows that the short-hour workers are the te -t | .id workers. With every reduo ti- n in hours there Is always a corre .tiding increase in wages. Wherever demands for the shorter workday and • idler wages have been presented and urged by organized workers during the ast year they have met with success. These economic gains have a potent relation to the social side of life. Shortening the period of work lengthens the jiertod of development, and t r ail of the other activities that belong to the normal individual. In iTi-svs in wages give the workers the mean' for taking advantage of the in ereu-'sl opportunities of the shorter workday. The workers of short hours and Petit r wages become very differ ent .-itizi tis from those who are so ex hausted by the daily grind that they have neither the time nor the energy for thought or aspiration. These gains mean hotter homes, better food, better clothing: time and opportunity for tin- cultivation of the l"st and the highest that is possible in the life of man. Day for All Labor to Rejoice. Labor's holiday is intended to accen tuule the dignity of lalior, and all ln lK>r. both organized and unorganized, will rejoa-e in it. Toilers are surely entitled to a happy outing of their own once a year, and on the first Mon day in September everybody should be died with the spirit of fruterualism rind good w ishes. Trank a. vanderup United States Has Well Been Designated Nation of Workers M EX of labor came to America in the Mayflower. A printer and a carpenter signed the Declaration of Independence. George Washington was a surveyor at one time in his life. Lincoln worked as a day laborer. Andrew Johnson was a tailor. William Howard Taft, after leaving college, was a newspaper reporter at SC a week. The United States is a nation of workers. -Labor day. consequently, is not for any class but for Americans in mass. I rank A. \ anderlip, president of the National < ity bank, is by trade a ma • hinist. His father was an Illinois farmer—"a specialist in cows." the son explained, fin the dentil of the father the family moved into town. "1 found employment." Mr. Vnnder lip said, “in a shop where wood work ing machinery was manufactured. I was sixteen and my wages were To < ents a day. By and by I got a lathe "f if; own. I would be a foreman some day. I was told, and earn S21 a week. 1 thought I could do better. So I learned stenography and later took up the study of bonds." William H. Canniff. president of the New York. Chicago & St. Louis rail load. was a telegraph operator in Michigan when he was seventeen. The attorney general in President Taft's •abinet. George W. Wickersham, also was a telegraph operator, as was Theo dore X. Vail, head of the Bell telephone interests. •' W.IWH liauu in ifrtjy, shoveling ind tamping on the tracks, William C Brow 1*. then sixteen years old, fought Ids way upward until he became presi dent of the New York Central lines. "My daily wages at the time?” he ' repeated. “Figure them out for your self. My envelope contained $27.50 at the end of the month when the pU\ car came down the line." His suc cessor. Albert H. Smith, was a rail | road laborer as a young man. Judge Itobert S. Lovett, president of I ! the Union Pacific, dug stumps and cut ! brush on the right of way on a little line in Texas and drove a team of ! mules when the grading began. Ben | jarnin F. Yoakum operated a scraper in the Southwest on a road in its build j itig. and became a brakeman when the , road was put into operation. Every day is labor’s day. Every man worth while is a laborer. Universal labor is the lever of de mocracy. Labor’s Greatest Achievement. Best of all achievements, perhaps. ; 's the fact that organized labor has gained in su'di large measure the co operation and confidence of employers. ; The old distrust and suspicion at everv stage of any negotiations is notably ; 1 absent in a great majority of cases to day. Lalmr is realizing, just as indus trial leaders are recognizing, that each is the complement of the other, and each is dependent upon the other. There always will be differences of { opinion, controversy and dispute, but i there need not be antagonism and mis | trust between labor and capital. Organized Labor in Fight to Put End to Industrial Wastage By FRANK L. MORRISON, Secretary American Federation ol Labor. IT IS impossil v to record funda mental pains urine the past year because of organized labor’s aerita tion or to individualize probable pains durine the year to come. The best we can do is to observe tenden cies. Prominent among these is the workers' seizure of the cry for “pre paredness" to emphasize a dancer in industry more deadly than battlefields Government statistics show that 30. 000 men sire annually killed and 700. 000 are annually injured for a period of four weeks or over. It has been stated that every yeai there are over 3.000.000 cases of in dustrinl illness, caused mainly by long hours, low wages, dust, bad air. fumes, smoke, poisonings and poor ventilation, and that through typhoid fever and malaria alone $900,000,000 is annually lost to this nation. Enough to equip the largest army and navy in the world, and then have a balance suffi cient to pay the tuition of every boy now in college. A system of national preparedness that does not Include recognition of this frightful and preventable wastage is the preparedness urged by big busi ness. A morality that ignores these facts and condemns war is based od meaningless phrases. Another present-day tendency is the acceptance of organized labor’s posi tion on Immigration restriction. Dur ing the past year the acid test of ex perience Inis verified the claim of trade unions that American institutions can not assimilate, nor American living standards resist, the flood tides of In duced immigration that has been the policy of captains of industry. Another element among employer? who talk of the scarcity of labor does so to entice a sufficient number of idle workers to their factory gates as a menace to those employed and who are liable to demand better conditions. These employers oppose restriction of immigration because restriction will defeat their policy of having two or more men for every job. Another tendency is the growing op position to lauvr injunctions, which ; class labor power as property. The congress of the United States has ! voiced this opposition in ameniimeiv to the antitrust laws. Judicial inter pretations of the term “property” in the fourteenth amendment to the fed- ' era! constitution are losing their force. What was originally intended to end : slavery has been used to thwart the j enactment of social legislation, but j courts have failed to check the swell ing tide of democracy. The trade union movement is con scious of the part it has played in the tendencies above referred to and this consciousness will be an inspiration to greater effort during the coming year Oregon’s Place of Honor. Oregon was the first state to declare Labor day a holiday. Tne law was passed in 1887 A WHAT TO SELL TO CHINAMAN! Celestials Will Not Buy Some Things Regarded as Necessities, Says Commercial Attache. An American commercial attache in China reminds the manufacturer at home that the Asiatic demand for Western articles is still somewhat primitive. For esamp’e. the Chinaman is a liberal purchaser of American barb- j wire. He likes the locks we make, j Files from the United States sell well and one American firm holds a monop oly tin scoop shovels. Rut the razors made here have no attraction, for the j Chinaman is contented with the cluni- | sy instrument the local blacksmith ! hammers out of a file. Trying to sell him doorknobs and electrical hells is to waste time and breath. Chinese ag riculture gets along with the farm im plements devised centuries ago and cannot even understand the mechan ism* of American farm machinery. N'nils. bolts and nuts have a ready market, being simple, yet when it comes to knives, the product of high • kill and workmanship. China is per fectly satisfied with the cheap stuff -rent out from Europe. The commercial invasion of the far East can lie successful only if the haracter of the people of the East is given careful consideration, says the Toledo Blade. The American mer chant does not try to sell section hands fountain pens. The American manu •ictur. rs will lose innnc\ who seek an lutlet in Chinn for articles that a sim ple people look upon as luxuries or ‘"vs. SKIN TORTURES That !tch, Burn and Scale Quickly Re lieved by Cuticura—Trial Free.
