Labor is coming our way. They
have just awakened to the'fact,
apparently that Socialism stands
at all times and in all places, and
under all circumstances for labor.
And some of them seem to think
that some labor papers follow af

that capitalism begins to spread

Another sign of the times is the
number of weekly picnics that are
being held in different counties.

the exploited slaw Of the Louis-

workers," "my friendjs," "my

bor is prima facie evidence Of his
weak position in the face of an
organization of labor that stands
for something. The veiy fact that
Kirby sought to plaeats the wor-

he was and is fearful of an organ-
ization of sawmill workers on in-
dustrial lines. If he did not fear
them he would never have as-
sumed such an attitude of friend-
liness. He would have applied
