NUMBER MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1904 DAY FOR OGDEN'S ORGANIZED LEGIONS R to the labor The city belonged Ogden has been the union today. labor parades, but not Kene of many effort! eclipsed former all only were the labor but today, by the parade of this city displayed a and untiy that is unequalbomogenity the Intermountain rein ed In any city gion. The members of the various committees who had the celebration In charge were early astir. There was no delay Electrical Worker. Plasterers Union. Uric kind Stone M Union. Tesunaters Union. Brewers Union. U. B. of R. E. THIRD DIVISION. Band. Cigar Makers' Union. Clerks' Union. Bartenders' Union. Barbers Union. Coolin' and Waiters' Union. Typographical Union. Laundry Workers' Union. FOURTH DIVISION. Young Union Men. Upon their arrival at Lester Park the members of the various unions dis. persed and sought shelter from the sun. Lester Park pavilion was already rcrowded to the doors before ter of the parade had reached tliej grounds and the hall was entirely too small to admit the throngs of people who crowded toward it to hear the literary program, which consisted of several fine vocal selections and a recitation by Miss Alice Dinsdale. Through the absence of F. J. Cannon, who had been slated as the orator of the day, his address was read by George Williamson of the U. B. R. E., a candidate for the legisla- one-qua- j ! general staff estimates that Kuropat-kln- s losses during his retreat from STACKELBURGS SAID lull. It must lie equally t that the right uf capital cannot lie the wrung of labor, otherwise it ceases to he right. ll has to lie the interested, if not the malignant, purpose of some writers and speakers in recent years to make great confusion on this idea; and yet the most ordinary appeal to our eonmion sense and reasoning faculties disposes of the whole matter. Tint t whieh is the right of one class to enjoy lie the wrong of any other elass. With this basis I may join with you m hoping to see the day when the struggle of labor to secure its right and the struggle of capital to maintain its right will not he divergent but oT that end the educahurinanious. tion. the enlightenment, the voluntary unionizing of hilmr are all important contributions. Surely irgnoram-- Is not capable of making the refined discriminations whieh will be requisite in securing the right of labor without entrenching upon what would cease to be labor's right by committing wrong ttKiti capital. And surely the individual, however enlightened, will not be as powerful for good In behalf of his class as he may be when lie is one of a union joined in fraternity and good purposes to achieve desired ends. Thus Intelligent unionism becomes the means by which labor will not only determine what Its rights are, but will secure and maintain those rights. You will observe that I have spoken of classes. For many years It was an abhorrent word to me; for In this land of pqual birth and equal rights it had seemed a denial of the essential doctrines of our governmental Institution and our social fabric that the population should be divided into classes. But whether right or wrong, the division has come, and it is folly to to recognize the fact It Is not for me to attempt to define all the rights of labor. However, it will not be deemed any impropriety to mention some of the distinct and to my mind rights of labor, to l. In the carrying out of the program and promptly at the hour advertised the on the line of march. parade started The procession Included representatives of every Industry in the city and, Including floats and participants, was shout ten blocks long. It would be Invidious to particularise. Every union made a showing of which it may be proud.. The members of the various organisations have certainly worked hard to make the display they did. In no case was anything left undone that could in any way add to the material success of the day, and thus by united effort on the part of local labor unionists, have all previous efforts been ecilp-ce- d.

To my mind the chief menace of liiiioiiism today from without Is the effort Id establish by dangi-mulegislat tive, judicial and other what Is called lint wrongly called "open shop." I recognize the absolute right of the laboring innn to sell his labor in any market and the Individual right of tlie laborer to join a union or to refuse in Join a union, as he may I also recognize the right of please. an employer to operate with labor if he see fit. And In selling and serbuying individual and non-univices both employer and laborer must hr protected In person und property from violence at the hands of union labor. But so surely as we allow all these prcposlttyns, just so surely must allow that it is the right of union labor to declare whether It will work with non-uniluliur or not. Experience has demonstrated to union labor. In many trades In sperlflc localities, ebullition of tii.it effort which capital ha constantly made to its own disadvantage to retard the progress of unionism. There tire many trades In which union labor may be unable to declare against "open shop." such, for as a trad.- - in wliieh condition are as yet so imprcfcctly settled and unionism so lacking In strength a ion of the union that dentoi-aliz.i- t itself, or demoralization of capital in that particular trade or In that particular locality, would ensue. But in siieh case It is only fair toissiime that the situation will be by lapse of time and thnl union will be able In declare for wliat Is colled but wrongIn quite ly called the "closed simp, all the trades of the country before many years shall elapse. A declaration for closed shop Is not an Illegal nr a selfish deprivation n of the right of n laborer to work. If an employer prefers nonunion labor he has his remedy. All Ihnt a declaration for a closed fchop should from the union view-poiThis shop (meaning mpfin Is this: this trade In this locality) shall not be If the part union and part to union with desires operate employer labor, he must use union labor alone.

The condition of iapil.il is very safer, and therefore tlie right of capital is better attained, under unionism than it lie if unions did not exist. An examination of tlie labor eoinliiioiiM of oilu-ages ami the labor of our own time Is a done quite proof that unionism as iinii-l- i for capital ns It Ims done for labor itself. Therefore, capital should In- - ns ready as labor Itself to recognize , the right of lnlior to for "closed "hop." Hu Ihe other hand, capital hns no right to nullify by the employment n of Inhnr tlie efforts of iinioiilsiii. The very argument for the open shop I a tribute to the greater efficiency of union labor. In the broadest sense we have iqieu shop in that the employer can have labor alone or union Inhnr alone; but wliat the advocate of the open shop realthat he wants the privilly menu ege of employing union labor under laconditions. If bor was as good iis union Inhnrhe would not nsk for the privilege of employing n launion labor along with bor. That he Is not willing to stand with labor alone Is u proof thill he knows the superiority of muon labor and must have It In his business. I have already mentioned that It is lathe right of rapltal and bor to operate without physical Interference. In speuklng of this matter I come to the greatest danger which mences unionism from within. In Just so fur hs unolnns encourage physical labor violence or prevent non-unifrom the enjoyment of It aright to work nnd wages. In so far unionism degrading its high mission In the world.
