By WALFRID ENGDAHL Secretary, Twin City Carpenters' District Council (From a radio address over Station WCCO, Minneapolis, Minn., on "The Worker in Art and History." Hit ad dress was sponsored by the Minnesota State Federation of Labor.) Scanning the history and the prog l«ss of the laboring class, we find a gradual change of the world in its at titude toward the common man. It will grow in momentum as time goes oh. The day is at hand when he who toils will receive all the benefits and rights of his labor. The labor movement is indebted with gratitude to the artists and Writers of the last century for their BUdying art, which has inspired us With hope and urged us on in our efforts to make humanity free. They have elevated our thoughts and light ened our task by their encouragement We are indebted to the thinkers who consecrated their lives to the causes of Truth and Humanity, who i^| V Hi*!— Progress of The Workers I aided us in throwing off the shackles Of superstition and fear and made our minds magnificent and free. We are indebted to the scientists for their eternal vigilance in comba inj diseases jsd ijjsorsscfl trans forming nature itself from the cold, indifferent enemy it once had been into a warm and helping friend. We are indebted to all the inventors who have made it possible to produce for every material need of man, and lifted the heaviest burdens of toil from off our shoulders. But first and foremost, we are in debted and thankful to the working people, who after long and weary hours of toil had time and strength to dream and work for a better day. No glory was theirs, no immediate reward. Yet they labored to trans form the best thoughts of the proph ets into actual life. Out of these dreams imd thooghts was born the labor movement. .A&A.

AHOUSE, The Butler County Lumber Co. 961 Main Street Phone 2410 to be a real home, must first of all be livable. By livable, we mean enjoyment, and comfort.

Before you build, or buy, make certain that this unexcelled living comfort will be assured you through the exclusive use of our lumber.

Some day they will see the light, and will be drawn to our organization with irresistible force. They will forget their petty jeal ousies and small personal grievances and will live and labor for the com mon good. The labor movement reaches out its hands to welcome everyone into its fold. It has within itself the power to make good every promise, every great exalted dream and aspiration ever breathed in the breast of man. It has the power to give all a most beautiful life, filled with kindness, love and tolerance. It has the power to relieve human ity from hunger, insecurity, worry and want to give freedom and justice to every man, woman and child, and to bring out of the hearts of man the noblest, the greatest, the most self sacrificing thoughts and deeds. The world today questions the right of any man to live at the expense of another. THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS TOM McGREEVf Tom is just a live, active member of the local Stage Employes' Union. At present he is devoting most of his time to the interest of the state's highway department. This, so it is said, is mostly as a favor to his old friend, Governor George White. Of course he doesn't need the money.

AMERICA^y-rg In an editorial in American Feder ationist, attention is called to the fine suirit of wage earners during the depression. They certainly deserve applause for facing the most disturb ing conditions with a firm resolution to meet their obligations and to help their fellows. In the words of Broad way, they have shown that "they can take it.' They are still enduring that most distressing element in the wage earner's life—uncertainty—but JUrfe keeping heart and purpose high. In many workingmen's homes there had existed for a number of years a sense of comparative security. To people who had an equit in a home, a savings account, some insurance, and perhaps something invested in stocks and bonds, it seemed incred ible that everything could be swept away. Yet many wage earners with a supposed reserve against old age have lost one thing after another, so that they are now not as well off as when they started in life. The very fact that they are older counts heav ily against them. Yet their morale has not been broken.

Wagner 337 Ludlow Street i Those who still have work are making sacrifices for their fellow craftsmen. Through unemployment benefits, loans, direct relief, protec tion of* investments and distribution of work they have tried to take care of their own people. Neither those who must accept such help nor the workers still able to give it feel that this is charity. It is a kind of organ ized neighborliness. If there are not enough jobs to go round in an indus try, the men divide the work up. Few may work a full week, but every one has a chance to earn something. The American Federationist does not stretch the facts when it says that "the record of wage earners during this depression is open testimony to their character and dependability. This cannot but reinforce the feeling of conscientious employers that they have as deep a responsibility to the workers as to those who invest in their company or consume its prod uct.—New York Times. mmh ESTABLISHED 1875 fit W.
