ON TO VICTORY”
Uncle Sam is telling
Brother John That it is
absolutely necessary for
the workingclass to.
“Organize”
With the aproaching spring:, ami the
steadily increasing high cost of living
it behooves the worker to give some
serious coiusideration to the mutter of
organization. Tiiore has not lieen
much work during tiie winter which
is now almost passecr; and it is likely
many who otherwise w ould have paid
stricter attention to union matters
have allowed sneh to pass with little
concern.
The vitill importance of organization
lias been often insisted upon in tliose
pages, and yet it cannot be insisted
upon too often, for without organiza
tion there is no class so completely
helpless as the wage worker. I'nor
ganieed lie faces as an individual one
whio has obsolutc control over him in
having control over the job he wants
to have access so that the workers
may obtain what is needed to sustain
life, organized he musses his strength
with the strength of fellow workers
and faces the boss in a position to say
in some manner the conditions under
which he shall he employed. In this
ramp conditions have been maintained
in till occupations simpl.s by , rg mined
labor. Without organization nothing
could have been accomplished. The
-strength organization gives the work
ing class is too obvious a fact to be
insisted upon. It has been responsible
for whatever progress has been made,
ami will lie responsible for whatever
progress has yet to he made.
The facts in favor of organization
are so numerous and overwhelming
that no argument against it is even
tried by those who are opposed to it.
It is no longer necessary to argue
<m it. The mere fact Hint some men
who do not belong to labor organiza
tions enjoy favorable terms of employ
ment cannot lie used against organiza
tion, .for in spite of the fact that they
Hire non-union men they are enjoying
favorable conditions solely on account
of existing unions.
This fact is very striking in this
camp of Nome. Many men have had
good jobs who will not assist in the
up-keep of organized labor; hut were
tomorrow' labor organizations to be
come in this camp non-existent it
would be good by to the non-union
man’s pleasant Job. To a certain ex
tent this fact is recognized by some of
these non-union men themselves, and
they are. simply talking advantage of
the unions in order to selfishly better
themselves as they think.
They think of course wrong. That
conditions tiro not better is due id
most solely to the fact that there are
mon like these we refer to who believe
licit they can do better outside labor
organizations than within the union
ranks.
These men arc like a deserter from
the ranks, during this strenuous time
of war. One says to himself that his
absence will not be missed, that he
will seek safety in the rear anil that
others will do the lighting while he
will reap the benefit.
This cowardly man never considers
what would be the consequence were
every one to take up the same posi
tions as does he. and what would be
the consequence to himself ns well as
the others did they say so.
Now in this class struggle there are
a good many in this frame of mind.
They refuse, to see the necessity of
mutual aid. Their point of view is
that they are all right and to hell with
the other fellows. In the consequence >
of this organizations may lose their
power and the very men whose selfish
attitude is accountable for that, they
suffer with the rest—suffer in fact for
refusing to do their share towards
helping all.
About this time it is essential that
unions should receive more attention
than ever.
It is also essential ait this time that
wage workers in this community
should attend the open meeting which
will be held in the Miners Union Hall
| at 8 p. m. tonight; and freely express
their views in regards to the forth
coming' summer wage-scale.
There is not a single bona-fide rea
son Why every wage worker should
not belong to labor unions. This ap
plies to wage workers of every age
and sex. The men otherwise will be
antagonized by women workers and
vice-versa, and a cut throat competi
tion among the workers will obtain
which is bad for everybody.
1'racticnlly every worker in Nome]
lias belonged to organized labor or
does now belong 10 it. It behooves,1
all who have drifted away to get to
gether once again now that the open
season is approaching so that all will
be able to make the better stand to
maintain conditions whereby it will be
feasa.ble for working-men and women
to decently exist under this profiteer
ing system. There is no logical rea
son why not. The unions exist to lie
effective for the benefit of the workers
and it depends absolutely and finally
upon the energy of the rank anil file
what degrree of efficiency towards this
end they have.
If they have grouches or grievances
the unions are the pla.ee where the
same can lie rectified, and the man
who will not seek to thus rectify what
he considers abuses is generally in
sincere in his protestations.
The benefits that come from solidar
ity have been marked through every
a.g'e. Tlie literature of the past and
the present Is full of stories showing
its value, and proverbs a plenty exist
expressing this homely truth. To fail
to realize the value of unionism is to!
fall into one of the most serious er
rors that is at all possible, just as
there is nothing finer from a class
standpoint than union solidarity, men
fighting' labor's battles shoulder to
shoulder, find building bit by bit the
progress of the labor movement which
means better-men, better-women and
better children, living under better
conditions.
