Co-operation in Labor is the final result to be obtained by the Labor movementThe bill against the Railroad engineers in the Massachusetts Legislature was supported , by Charles F. Adams, Jr. Of course.The Trade-Unions of America mustbe organized on a National and International basis. The Unions must show more activity in this matter, as it is one of common interest.Competition creates poverty; poverty creates crime. The labor movement aims at the destruction of competition. Do not hesitate to joinits ranks.of a fraudulent system of production and distribution. Workingmen, look out!K. O. S. C.—The Knights of St. Crispin, since their re-organization, have arbitrated ninety-seven cases with the employers, and came out first best every time. “In union there is strength.”Hemingray Co.’s Glass Works in Covington, reduced the wages of their glass blowers in the green room, but they refused to be bulldozed, and so quit, but the firm found plenty of half starving laborers who took their places.Every Workingman should receive the results of his labor, and thus enable him to educate his children in the school house, not in a cotton mill, or shoe factory.

And yet under our present odious competitive system genius is always perverted.Liberty now exists in all its plenitude for those who possess money and the means of developing nature. But Liberty does not exist for those to whom all means of living, all the instruments of labor, are wanting. Workingmen have no liberty unless it be to go into competition with and and destroy each other. Their present liberty is the liberty of savages.Workingmen should be thriftyBut are they so? Do they economize their health and their labor? Is it economy to waste their vital power by overworking themselves for the benefit of bosses?
