list and we don't patronize list of the

stone Watch Case Co., of Philadelphia,
Pa.; T. Zurbrugg Watch Case Co., of
Riverside, X. J.; Crescent Watch Case
Co., of Neward, N. J.; Jos Fahy Watch
Case Co., of Saf Harbor, N. Y., and the
Wadswortht Watch Case Co., of Day
ton, Ky. The Association asks that
members of labor organizations write
the above firms stating that until an
agreement is reached they regard It
their duty to transfer their patronage
to firms more fairly Inclined.
, REASON'S WHY.
Arguments That Convince You That
You Should Join' the Union.
1. Because it tends to raise wages.
This is proven by all sorts of evidence.
2. Because it prevents a reduction
In wages, reductions rarely come to
well organized labor.
3. Because it aids in getting shorter
hours". Ask the union men who are
working eight hours, they can prove
it; they can show a union card also.
4. Because in union there is strength.
This is as true of wage earners as of
states.
5. Because It makes labor respected.
Power wins respect from employer as
from all men. '
G. Because it gives men self-reliance.
7. Because it is a good investment.
No other investment gives back so
large a return for expenditure of time
and money.
9. Because it makes thinkers. Men
need to rub intellect together in mat
ters of common concern.
10. Because it enlarges acquaintance.
This world Is too restricted for most
wage earners.
11. Because it reaches co-operation.
When laborers co-operate they will
own the earth.
12. Because it curbs selfishness; the
gtab-ajl is toned down by the fear of
tbe opinions of his fellows.
-13. Because it makes the job a bet
ter place to work. The bully foreman
can't bully the union card.
14. Because it helps the family to
more money, more comforts and a bet
ter opportunity to improve your social
condition. .
15. Because It helps the state. Un
organized and discontented labor is
the parent of the 'mob. The trade
unions stand as a rock between the
government and anarchy.
1G. Because it is legal. The state has
been forced to take off the conspiracy
ban.
17. Because your own common sense
approves it. What argument can you
bring against it? ; '
IS. Because it is not an experiment.
A century of tests has demonstrated
its ability. '
19. Because It Is revolutionary. It
seeks no miracles, but goes on, step
by step.
20. Because it means business. It
grasps at tangible results and does not
spend its force in speculation.
21. For the enemies it has made.
When you see people outside the wage
class fight, trade unions, put it down
that unions are desirable.
22. Because it is philosophical., , It
takes human nature as it is, not as
somebody says it ought to he.
23. Because It is ' universal. The
trade union ideal is co-existent with
civilization. y '
24. Because it pays you benefits when
you are on strike lor better conditions,
cr to. prevent unfair conditions being
imposed upon you.
25. Because it pays you sick benefits
when you are sick or disabled.
2(. Because it pays death benefits
of from $50 to 5100.
27. Because it stands for arbitration
of all differences between employer
and employee. '
.29. Because everybody is interested
in our cause, but it cannot be perma
nently won unless we ourselves become
thoroughly interested. As tradesmen
of a werthy calling we should unito
intelligence, our efforts, our sympa
thies and our genius to the further-"
ance of the noble objects of unionism.
Reading Labor Advocate.
28. Because a union man's card is
treated with respect and consideration
by all union men, and the bearer of a
card is never without friends, and can
always get assistance if in needy circumstances.
. SENATOR CLARK.
Men Who Made Him Rich Still Live
in Shacks.
In a short skit about Senator Clark
of Montana, a Saturday Evening Post
writer says: "He was a producer;
what he has he took out of the
ground." Say, wouldn't that jar you?
Took it out of the ground rats'. He
took it out of the blood, bone and mus
cle of the working class. Mr. Clark
holds title to millions of wealth, and
he never produced a dollar of it. The
workers are easy; they believe in "di
viding up," and so Mr. Clark has the
finest residence in New York, while
the fellows who produced it all live in
shacks and keep on voting the old
party tickets. Took it out of the
ground! All Mr. Clark ever took out
of the ground would go in my vest
pocket and still leave room for my
week's pay. And who ever heard of
one man building a railroad? Some
of these space writers are too funny.
There is one thing, however, to be
said about Clark and all his kind
they know enough to work and vote
for their class. , Pity the workers are
not as wise.-E. N. .Richardson, in Ap
peal to Reason. ; .
