ORGANIZATION.
It is poor policy for anyone who
enjoys the benefit of membership
in an actve, aggressive union, to
lay back and leave the work of
bringing new members into the un
ion entirely in the hands of the
Secretary.
Every member of the union should
be, alive to his own interests suffi
ciently to know that the stronger
the organization becomes the better
chance lie as an individual will
have to better his condition.
The union, the membership of
which leaves the work of extend
ing and building up the organiza
tion entirely to its officers, is gener
ally a half baked, vacillating aggre
gation, capable of accomplishing
very little for the welfare of its
members.
Its meetings are generally poorly
attended and the. making of motions
and the carrying on of debates are
left to a few of the old timers.
Personal differences and petty
squabbles often occupy the attention
of those present during the greater
part of the meeting to the exclusion
of the more important questions of
the day. The reason this state ot
affairs often exists is because many
of the indviduai members of the un
ion are generally so busy in tlic
cffort to •'bold down their jobs, or
attending to other business," that
they can't find time to spare to
attend meetings to aid in raising
the wage scale, shortening the hours
of labor or otherwise hotter the
conditions of himself and his fellow
wage workers. He holds up his
hands in horror when a fellow
member lias the nerve to ask his aid
in getting applicants among those
who have not yet joined the union.
On the oilier hand, when the
majority of the members of any un
ion place the welfare of the union
as a whole above their own two-by
four jobs and never relax In their
efforts to rustle new members, that
union will be so I r ahead of the
one we have just piciur. d that there
is no comparison. Its members are
•* * **+*+* + *•*■* + * * -K + ** + -M< * ¥ *M
generally working under the best
possible conditions, the best paid and
the most highly respected undesir
able citizens of the community.
They have learned from experience
that working for the benefit of all
results in the betterment of the con
dition of the individual.
Each meeting or the union, is
largely attended and many heated
arguments are entered into among
those present. Yes personal
differences will crop up , as
they will in every gathering or men,
but they are quickly pushed into
the back ground when a question
concerning the welfare of the organ
ization, or the Nome Industrial
Worker as a whole is bought up.
When the meting is over each mem
her is firmly resolved to “work at
unioinism throughout the week, just
as hard as he did during the meet
ing.
in the case of the unions it is
just as easy and much more satis
factory, to have the. latter kind as
it is to have the former.
Many members of Local 240, are
at present idle. If they don't want
to face a similar condition next
summer, it will be well for them *o
bear in mind that a thorough or
ganization of all camps must he
effected during the winter months,
preparatory for simitar action dur
ing the summer months. The offi
cers of tlie union cannot accomplish
this without the aid of every mem
ber of the union working on the
creeks.
If the man workng beside you
fails to put in his application
immediately alter his first payday,
make it your business to lind out
the reason why, and bring ever;
possible pressure to bear on him
with the object of ‘getting him to
join the union. The boss finds an
easy mark in tlie man who is afraid
to talk unionism to hs fellow
worker for fear of losing his job.
The attitude of the individual
member is largely the attitude of
the union as a . whole. If every
member of Local 2 40 will do the
best he can to get in new members
between now and the opening of nav
igation, as there is such a splendid
opportunity to thoroughly organ
| ize the camp, because even the
non-union man is desirous of quit

ting after he has slaved for eight

he realizes it, the better, its only

In a few months the union can be

UNCLE SAM AND
BROTHER JONATHAN
Brother Jonathan—I wonder why it
is the Socialists must season so benign
a principle as theirs withthe sauce of
class hatred
Uncle Sam—Dothey?
B. J.—Why, certainly, they do. Don't
you know that they preach class hat
red?
D. S,—No 1 don’t; and what’s more,
I know they don’t.
B. J.—Will you deny that the Social
ists are always saying that they aim at
the conquest of power by the working
class?
1'. S.—No; I won’t deny that; on the
contrary, 1 admit it and approve of it.
B. ,J.—Very well: and what, pray, do
you call that if not seasoning a good
principle with hatred, class hatred?
How can one class win without an
other losing?
1 . S. it simply cant he done; right
you are in that.
B. .1.- Now, how can you deny that
that sort of thing is a seasoning of
hatred? Classes are bad things; where
they exist., rows, conflicts, hatred must
Hie. What would he the use of wiping
out one class to set up another?
I '. S.—Now you begin to talk sense.
B. .1 There, then you agree, don’t
you that this getting up of one class
andsetting down of another keeps up
class rows and hatred?
1’ X.- I fully agree that to set up one
class and set dawn another .and keep
ing ti|> class distinction dosen’t set
us further on the road toward it hum
an existence.
B. J.—Well, I'm glad to hear you say
so. That’s what I meant.
I • X.—And, if that means anything,
it means that you suppose the victory
of the working class would be similar
to the victories of till other classes;
a change of oppressors.
B. J.—That’s it.
I". X.—And that is wrong.
B. .1. —Hon; so?
V. X. If you drop a lighted parlor
match into a box of gunpowder, it
will explode, eh? 1 . "
B. ,].—Ves.
-***** ******** ****** *******
+
U. S.—And if you drop a lighted
common sulphur match into that box—
B J.—It will explode likewise.
U. S.—Does it follow from that that
whatever you drop Into that box, on
explosion will follow?
B. J. ponders.
U. S.—IX you drop a tumbler full of
water Into it—
B. J.—No; no explosion will then
follow.
U. S.—And the gunpowder’s explo
sive powers—
B J.—Will be at an end thereafter.
U. S.—Just so in this gunpowder so
cial system that our race has been
living in. The successive victories of
the several classes were so many
lighted matches of different composi
tion dropped into it; "explosions" had
to follow; that is, class distinctions,
with all the conflicts and hatreds
thereby implied had to continue. Why?
Because the program that each of
those different classes brought along
with it, obedient to the law of its own
existence, was a class war program.
It was because they were all hosed
upon a principle that was the 1’rl
VATE OWNERSHIP OF THE
THINCIS NEEDED TO EARN A LIV
ING BY. With the working class it
is otherwise; the program that it is
Ixmnd to bring along with it is COL
LECTIVE OWNERSHIP OF THE
THINGS TO EARN A LIVING BY.
Thus the victory of the working' class
necessarily means the abolition of
class distinctions ,the wiping out of
class wars, the laying of the only
foundation posible for “Peace on Earth,
Good will among Men.” Catch on'.’.
P>. J.—Somewhat?
U. S.—Thus, tue Socialist’s prin
ciples alone are the princoples that the
not seasoned with hatred, hut are sea
soned with love; all other political
and economic movements, on the con
trary, whatever their name, whatever
their pretenses are the ones that are
seasoned with hatred; each and all of
thorn cling to the PRIVATE OWNER
SHIP OF THE THINGS NEEDED TO
EARN A LIVING BY; consequently
all start from are built from and'
built upon, the source of all class
hatred. Think it over.—Weekly Peo

★ First tiling we know we’re going to have a Bone Dry country
* out and out. Already the mighty ptohihition wave is engulfing
“demon rum” and the flood gates of righteous antagonism against
John Barleycorn is going to sweep him into everlasting oblivion.
Thousands of men in the country o\er are going to shortly find it
impossible to get their daily, mod of them their hourly “nips”
and those fellows are going to look up the lies! bottled drink they
can get to wet their whistles with. They are not going to “get
off” booze, and drink any pink “tea slop” Oh no—they want
something with a delightful relish—a sparkle and a zest and the
AKSALA drink is going to fill the hill to a T-Y-T. Wets every
spot in the internal arid district, soaks it down good. No dust
left in your throat after a bottle of AKSAliA Fur sale
where.
