your price toill be ours, but tee oton the goods so
that your price tcill not hurt us.
Blankets and Comforts
We are long on blankets and comforts, and toil

and sell the goods. There's no money in them for
us, laying on the sheloes. Yours truly.

THE LABOR PAPER.
Of one thing we are convinced: No
matter how inferior a labor paper may
be, it stands always as a battery be
tween the union and its enemies. Take
away the union paper, even though it
be a miserable travesty upon the art
of journalism, and you have removed
the vehicle which could and would
have conveyed to the public, whose
sympathies and support you need, a
true expression of your grievance; you
have given to your enemies an open
field, with the power to misrepresent
and malign you without check or hin
drance; you have removed the only
means of defense when the "grafter"
seeks to manipulate your organiza
tion; you have lost the best textbook
of your education in the school of ex
perience; you have shown that you
are indifferent to your own welfare;
and that you are willing to accept all
that can be given you, but you are not
willing to give anything in return.
Remember that in supporting the
union labor paper you are not doing
so simply for the sake of the editor.
It is your own welfare which is at
stake. You are a part of the great
scheme of organized labor, and th.e pa
per is a part of it. Deeply imbedded
in your hearts should be the con
sciousness that whatever is to the in
terest of one is to the interest of the
other. To withdraw or refuse your
support may appear a little thing, but
it is the little things, the infinitesimal
quantities, which, welded' together,
make up the most tremendous crea
tions, the most potential forces. It
is the little facts which you are not
seeing, the protoplasms of evolution,
which will one day have welded them
selves together and will confront you
as a problem which you must solve,
and how shall you have acquired the
mental acumen to sift and analyze
and segregate the various phases of
the problem if you have put aside the
only substantial means of education in
the world? There may come to you
a day when you will be required to
contribute to necessity many times
more than the sentiment of fraternity,
self-interest and advancement now
asks you to give freely, and when that
day comes you will wonder why and
how those formidable forces which
confront you were created, and why
they were not destroyed in the begin
ning before they had grown to their
formidable proportions. And the ans
wer will be that in the beginning you.
and thousands of others like you.
were too well satisfied with your con
dition to take the trouble to safeguard
it. You thought that so long as the
enemy was afar off there would be no
danger of a battle; you forgot that
when an enemy has been repulsed in
the broad light of day it may with'
draw "for a time to formulate another
plan, and then to return under cover
of the darkness and attack while you
are sleeping at yoUr post. Capital will
never give up the fight against organ
ized labor so long as there are men
and women who - must work for
bread.
In conclusion, we will ask you, care
less brathren, whether you can pursue
your business, working eight or ten
hours a day and at the same time
keep in touch with all that is being
done by organized labor? Can you
keep yourselves informed as to what
has been discovered by the greatest
thinkers of our times who are . study
ing this great problem? Do you not
think it would be vastly better if you
had a union paper entering your home
which would keep you up to date in
your knowledge of union affairs? Or
would you rather remain in your care
less and conceited ignorance, fondly
imagining that "your own wee, small
head contains enough brain matter to
solve all the riddles of the money-made
Sphinx? ' It is up to you. Baltimore
Labor Leader.

WHO SHIIPPED THIS BEER IN?

Coffeyville, Kansas.
Coffeyville officers raided a ware
house and seized more than a car
load of beer made by the Val Blatz
Brewing company. The beer was taken
to the county; seat where the sherif
is guarding it. The ownership of the
goods is still in question, but the
county authorities believe that it be
longs to the brewing company.
A3 this is one of the companies

attorney general, litigation may fol
