(From the Minneapolis Journal.) The report is that Mr. Gompers, in a forthcoming magazine article, will advocate increased production .as the next cardinal step for labor. We hopé the Ereport 1s true, because the need for such‘ a move is self-evident. Union labor by a policy of decreased production is simply raising prices all around and bringing business and labor to the precipice. . The Journal has always had respect for Samuel Gompers. He has been the leader of labor up thfough twenty-five years when labor needed leader- ship and when labor was not tréated well by many ¢ employers. If at times he turned to excess in statement, he did no more than would any partisan z ?n any question. This can be allowed for, because in the main he has stood strong for the Country, strong for patriotism, strong for justice as he saw-it. The simple fact is the labor union is out-grown. It is now working directly against the best inter- . ests of members of the labor uhio_n, and far-seeing members of the unions are waking up to' the fact that they have been the catspaw for the last few years without realizing it. They have been used to protect some sluggard who does half the amount of work and - half as skillfully at twice_the pay he should receive, and the really skilled workman has not had the money he would have received as an - individual worker. ‘Workers all over the country in higher classes of work have not organized and they receive wages based on their individual ability. They do not need a.union, neither does the typesetter need a union. The system is outgrown. It had its place and it served its time. The new union will be of the employees in each establishment in friendly com- petitive rivalry for wages on records made. In the new order of things, workmen will stand d- 1879. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER et i | o e e on their own feet and be employed as individuals. Where one is wesk, he goes, and a strong one takes his place at a higher wage. That is the way business has been developed in this country and the way individuals have, reached |’ the top, because their individuality could haye play, and they could receive their proper m-r] ‘We hope it is true that Mr. Gompers will come out for a good day's 'work. With that in vogue troubles would disappear and the un-American banners would disappear from the streets. People havé grown tired of the tyranny of unions. It now surpasses the tyranny of the old bosses over labor. One tyranny is as bad as-the other. fl‘he working man had the right to rise and pro- test against the old boss system, and the people have the right now to arise against the growing tyranny of labor unions. A Labor unionism has tied up the commerce of New York and almost destroyed the port, and it must give way. The people have the right to have their business carried on through transportation and oth- erwise. When the people are aroused, vicious prac- tices will disappear. If Mr. Gompers, with his great vision, has seen the new light, he will have proposed the.greatest step for labor that has been taken since labor unions have been organized. : Ao e B When a man writes left handed he is forced to write what comes from the left side of his brain.

A Duluth girl recently struck out nineteen players in ‘a baseball game. Imagine coming home late to a wife with an arm like that. Townley says the voters are beginning to think. If they are it's a disease that will prove fatal to Townley's chances of bossing Minnesota. i : ‘Véte for Preus and Prevent it. ¥ Townley is tossing money around thicker than mosquitqes.at a pienic. Minnesota, with its wat}de_r- , ful resources, is a big prize and: he needs it in his business.
