No truer maxim was ever put in
"Words than the penetrating slogan
which was born in revolutionary days,
When the need for standing together
Was apparent to everybody. "United
We stand and divided we fall" is a
battlecry for co-operation and unity
tbat has never been surpassed.
-To organized labor this slogan ap
plies with exceptional force and accu
racy. Neither local unions nor the
movement of organized labor, as a
Vhole, can ever hope to make any par
ticular headway, either in holding

Whenever internal cfissention is

be and regardless of how it is
brought about, that organization is

one faction is using its time and ener
gy to destroy the opposing faction.
Such bitter divisions of partisan
ship and factional internal strife are
very injurious to any organization
that permits such discord to continue
until a permanent breach is brought I
about. Frequently such internal strife
completely wrecks an organization.
In the long and trying march of or
ganized labor internal strife and dis-l
sesion have caused more setbacks!
than all other causes combined. Youl
cannot hope to advance nor even to
hold your own so long as you frittei
away your strength fighting one an
other.
Beware of the member of organized
labor who is always making propo
sals that create futile and harmful I
divisions within the labor movement
He is either a misguided fanatic or I
he is the willing tool of the enemies!

HE ACCUSING FINGERl
POINTS
We are in a condition called de
pression.
There is unemployment. Stores I
that once were crowded are almost
empty. Factory wheels are idle. Men,
omen and children are hungry.
We are in a condition called de»
pression.
If industrialists and bankers took
workers generally into conference I
and if workers joined in making de
cisions generally, then we could say,
Well, for whatever is wrong we art
all responsible," and we could all get|
together to plan a quick readjust
ment.
But industrialists and bankers dol
not generally take workers into con-|
ference. They make their own de
cisions.
The accusing finger points out th
guilty.
What do they plead in extenuation"?
What CAN they plead?
And, can WE let it happen again?

Jnions Are Labor's Power,|
Donnelly Says
Wilkes-Barre, Pa.—Strong trad
unions are the workers' chief organ
ization for their protection, declam
Judge Philip Donnelly, of Rochester,
N. Y., in an address before the Na
tional Conference of Catholic Chari
ties.
Judge Donnelly denounced unfaii
employers, modern efficiency systems
scrapping of workers because of age
and other practices which, he assert
ed, have imperiled the position of the
working people.
"There can be no doubt that the
chief difficulty encountered by th
working man is the frame of mind of
the average employer toward his enc
ployes," Judge Donnelly said.
"Now, if there is to be any true
progress in industrial society, that
attitude must be changed. Practical
experience with the average employer
convinces me that the only way that
frame of mind can be changed is by
the formation of strong industrial
unions."—News Letter.
HOW TO KILL YOUR
LOCAL
Don't go to the local meetings.
If you do, go late.
If the weather is bad and doesn't|
uit you, don't think of going.
If you do attend a meeting, find|
fault with the officers and members^
Never accept office as it is easier
to criticize than do things.
Get sore if you are not appointed
on committees, but if you are ap
pointed do not attend the committee]
meetings.
If asked by the president to givel
your opinion on some matter, tell
him you have nothing to say, but
after the meeting tell everyone how|
things should be done.
Do nothing more than is absolutely I
necessary, but when members use
their ability to help matters along,
howl that the local is run by a clique|
or gang.
Hold your back dues or don't pay|
at all.
Don't bother about getting newi
members. "Let Tom, Dick or Harry
do it."
If you want to see your local pros
per and become a benefit to all of its I
members, AVOID all of the above
suggestions.

Maybe It Was
A patient in a hospital awoke after
an operation and found the blinds of
the room drawn.
"Why are those blinds down, doc-|
tor?" he asked.
"Well," said the physician, "there's I
a fire burning across the alley, and
I didn't want you to wake up and]
think the operation had been a fail
ure."
