AR LA B RS 4 KRR KRR KRR KR ERR KKK THIS'PAPER‘REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGM GENERAL OFFICES ~NEW YORK AND CHICAGC HRANCHES'IN ALl THF PRINCIPAL CITiEs —_————————— BIG EIGHT-HOUR DAY CAMPAIGN Organized labor, operating through the Labor Central association in New York City, is sending to labor unions throughout the country over 5,000,- 000 stamps, each meant to carry a special publicity message. The stamps are to be affixed to letters after the manner of Red Cross stamps and stamps advertising na- tional expositions. Each stamp car- ries the slogan, “For the Eight-Hour Day—A Movement Nearer to Jus- tice.” A portion of the stamp’s de- sign shows a day split into eight- hour periods, one for work, one for sleep and one for recreation. It is the plan to distribute the stamps to all friends of the eight- hour movement, whether employers, union members or sympathizers. Besides: sending them out on letters, union members receiving them are asked to paste them on mirrors in the shops, on literature distributed to workmen and on bills and letters that go directly to business men. The idea of using the eight-hour stamps in a nation-wide publicity campaign was worked out after the Industrial Relations commission had developed the fact that the Rockeféller interests were paying Ivy Lee $10,000 per year to act as the Rockefeller press agent. It was suggested that organized labor had concentrated its energies so com- pletely ‘on wage fights that it had negelected educational opportunities such as organized capital employed with great skill A stamp by the use of which every union member could constitute him- self “an Ivy Lee of the labor cause” was the result. Children will be asked to paste the stamps on their school papers with this note to their school teach- ers: “Teacher, teach wus these truths.” Members of church congregations will be asked to send a stamp to their priest or pastor suggesting a ser- man: “Nearer to Justice—the Eight- Hour Day.” Organizations, societies and pub- lic officidls ‘Who express sympathy with the eight-hour cause are to be supplied ‘with large quantities for use on all their official correspond- ence. The campaign for the nation-wide use of an eight-hour stamp is meant to be the opening wedge for a gen- eral educational movement as a per- manent feature of the labor cause. Local unions are taking an active in- terest. THE SQUARE DEAL The following- dre snappy state- .ments from an article entitled ‘“Pre- paredness and the Square Deal,” by Theodote Roosevelf in the March Metropolitan ‘magazine which is re- leased today: Military preparedness to be com- pletely effective must be founded up- on preparedness of labor, prepared- only by co-operation of many- differ- ent influences and factors—schools, doctors, hospitals, experts of all kinds; it is only through the govern- ment that such co-operation can be organized. Such co-operation should be given by the government, acting for the people as a whole, and in re- turn the fullest performance of duty and loyalty should be required. ox o ‘We cannot have industrial justice so long as we have forty-eight dif- ferent codes of laws of governing accidents in factories, sanitary con- ditions in factqries, old-age pensions and the like. Neither can we have prime efficiency in our international trading so long as our industrial companies operate with licenses from any one of fort. ght states. CAN'T BE DONE A weekly contemporary this weekl published a story to the effect that efforts are being made to establish an amusement park at Diamond Point. This can’t be done as Be- midji promised the Normal School board when the site for the state’s Sixth Normal school was chosen that the park retained by the city would not be used as an amusement park.

There could be no such word, declared the governor “in a country where the citizens are soldiers and the soldiers are ecit- izens.” The truth of that observation lies in the fact that under our form of government the citizens would be the government and the citizens would be the reserve army of de- fense. Under the Swiss system of universal training of the country’s youth there could be no military caste for . every able-bodied young man would be a member of the great de- fensive organization. Pays to Train the Youth. If that system exacted more than it gave in rich return—it if ex- hausted the virile strength of the country’s manhood, or detracted from its industrial efficiency, or made young men less fit for life’s civilian duties—it might well be rejected. ‘But the converse is true. It would make of this nation a greater and more efficient people. As Mr. Roose- velt adds—and his conclusions are unanswerable—‘“our young men at the outset of their lives would be re- tained—not merely to shoot and to drill, which are only small parts of military training—but to habits of bodily endurance and moral self mas- tery, to command, to obey, to act on their own initiative and to under- stand and promptly execute orders, to respect themselves and to respect others, and to understand that they are to serve their country with deeds and not words only.” Resentment of Discipline. “But I am against all that,” says MORE DELICIOUS=MORE “TENDER MOTHERS MACARONI CO., MINNEAPOLIS one: pacifist, ‘‘because it would mean that our young men would have to take orders, and orders are a bad influence on- youth.” But what hope is-held out in in- dustrial life for the young man who is resentful of orders? Under pres- ent-day industrial conditions prob- ably not one young man in twenty can begin active life as a giver of orders. But ability to take orders and to execute them intelligently and well is-the strongest test of one’s capability to give orders as he ad- vances in the industrial world. Recall, if you will, knowledge of past and present acquaintances—the companions' of your boyhood and the associates of today, and ask your- self who have been the failures, the incompetents, the intemperate and possibly the vicious? With few ex- ceptions they were the ones who scorned instruction, who resented discipline, who defied orders in the business and the industrial world. The rule of the ages—and it is |not abated in our day—is that in- dividuals mount to success on the foundation of discipline, and the na- tion that scorns discipline is headed for trouble and possibly for ruin.
