who has gone Into Inlo the tho desert and caused it to Blossom as the therose therose rose It is labor who as ts gone gono down into InLo the bowels of the tho earth and res uNI the treasured she had so deeply burled It Is labor who mould d and fashioned those same samo treasures into articles of It Ii is ia labor who palaces temples s schools and sanctuaries It ItIs Itis Is labor who laid the

few minutes It Is labor who has wrought lint this world might be c more 1110 that Eden from which man wa in the begin beginning I 1 IThe ning The question naturally arises Vhal could labor do without ca catal cap tal taiT We answer Everything La Labor bor Is first In all A beautiful example is contained in the hIstory of oC our wn the early carly settlers came to an undeveloped without mone money or 01 anything l l to speak of and amI began tile the bund build in Of oC this great relt em cm empire pire and not until the tho foundations wr cro laid and the tho structure well 0 un nr r way did cUd capital deign to como come forward and accelerate the building bunding The miner with his pack traverses the mountain wastes in search of the precious metal unaided anti alone suf suffering fering rin untold privations until lie he finds t the object ct of oC his hi search when till comes to his assistance or It from him So we sa say labor labori i first is a above oc capi capital tal and is so considered except by y I a afew few arr allt fops who while labor was busil busily engaged In the develop of oC the world and the creation of waIth was busily engaged in leVel devel developing ways wars and r eans for Cor his And so labor went sturdily on using his hi brawn anti and brain for the benefit of mankInd 3 all unconscious of tile the system of exploitation until the tho ex cx began egan his oppressIon And when all too late labor awoke to find finel the iron heel of the oppressor about hIs neck and thou then began the unequal struggle to make rIght the wrongs la had Jeen lone done We Ve are wIlling Illing wIllingto to admit that everyone does not pos pen ss ses thc lie ability to direct in the de development process and We are willing that lie he who does loes poss POSSeSS ss such ability receive a Just recompense but when la labor or creates ten Len dollars in wealth and only receives of It 4 we find finel that the Ims mas re received too great a portion hence tile the creation of that which Is called cap capItal capItal Ital which ditch Is 15 than the of wages wage TlC Tie history of if the thc so called labor u movement dates daleM back bucl seera several hun I

labor union has become an in industrial industrial force not noL lightly to be reckon reckoned ed with The Tue only excuse for the existence of oC the labor union is sel And so bitter hiller was sas the feeling against i It 11 that In its VCr very it IL was sas outlawed and Its leaders charged with and thrown into prison 1 But as time lime went on und and It became f better organized and more I and publIc opinion became more fn favorable I Iora ora le to it it began to make malee more progress against the tho master class I Iwho 6 who bad llad dominated it with n a heel of Iron and would not
