will close their places or business, on
Labor Day while two white merchants
refuse to do so. These distinguished
AmeticansC?) are the. Baltimore Clothing-
House on North Third street and
Labowitch Bros., dry ..- goods dealers.
The latter gentlemen say they do not
want the trade of j laboring people;
that! they can do business by them
selves. To those who can take the
larger view of unionism this expres
sion seems very shortsighted.

A travelling: salenman who recently
visited Salem, was displaying his
good to the head cleric in one of our
prominent dry goods stores, when the
clerk asked if the goods were union
made. The salesman replied that they
were but for some unknown reason did
not bear the label. The clerk told him
itmt he was sorrr to have to withhold
his order and place it where he could
get goods bearing the label as the peo

were union made. ("These are the eg

She deeply regrets that trouble has
arisen and that the first should be

the matter entirely in their own-hands.

Mr. Mahon went on to tell how the
strike Is inherent In the very under

ers have a union, and they have been
known to strike. There lsnt a severer
union In the world1 than the preachers

In their preach shop. In my city this
union got into a scrap. One of its
members used to go down every, morn
ing to pray for the Ohio Legislature.
One Monday morning they found they
had a grievance. : They wanted pay or
they woul JnS pray any tnore for, the
Legislature. SO they decided to go on
a strike. Just like a trade union. But
several mornings later a preacher broke
the strike of the preachers' union. He
explained that the Catholic clergy did
not belong to the union, and he feared
they would pray for the Legislature. .
"Labor is the only commodity in
which the buyer and not the seller set.
the price. And when you try to set a
price on your brawn or your brains
they get out an injunction.
"No world movement is based on a
more time-honored principle than Is
trade; Unionism. ' Unionism is the bed
rock of business. The question of the
hour Is not production, but; consump
tion. Trade unionism stands for con
sumption. They used to disturb us by
saying the law of supply and demand
ruled the world. But the law of sup
ply and demand Is" subject to the law
of wages. Thi law In turn ia subject
to the law of organized labor. Trade
unionism stands for this side of the
business world, and the 'person . who
considers business from this standpoint
cannot help but be the friend of .the
laboring man.

; The great work of concentration now
going on so rapidly, I. as natural as
can be. 2 The individual operator on a
small scale In every Important com
mercial avenue is Just as certain to be
assimilated by the great co-operative
combinations as that the tiny drop ot
water which bubbles forth from the
mountain side and-dance, merrily along
through majestic canyon., over tum
bling cataract, and through green and
verdant pastures should finally reach
the .ocean. The final act In the great
commercial drama la upon the stage
and the curtain, are sky-high. It be
hooves every man to consider how he
can, best serve Instead of how. he' can
the cheapest be served. If he Is an
individual operator on a small ' scale
and Is prone to'-complaln at dull times.
It behooves him to go about seeking
employment at good wages within that
department of the collossal co-operative
Industries which has to do with his
line. Those who complain of hard
times today are largely the victims of
the trusts and while their complaints
are fully warranted there Is but one
solution. When we look around us and
see ten little half-equipped operators
in the same line of work where one
could be prosperous, each trying to
starve out the rest, we wonder that the
work of concentration' and scientific
adjustment has been delayed so long.
Many are unfortunate and suffer long
ere they find their place , in the work,
and many others never do find it-
Many a brutal, greedy and elf-eeklhg4
figurehead brings down the odium , of
publlo sentiment upon his industrial
branch by his unjust, bigoted and
overbearing disposition, but his kind
are being "reduced to the ranks to
learn humanity's lessons, since they
have ,never had an opportunity f to
learn them, and every where, the tend
encyXis to shorter hours of service
betterpay, more honest consideration
and genuine fellowship. All this is by
reason of a far greater sense of lasting
security and safety from business re
verses than previously existed under
Individual competition. The competi
tion of the future will be among oper
atives and workmen of every branch
as It Is today,, but since all will work
under a universal business head and
the', supervision of experts none can
flourish on deception and misrepresen
tation. Qualities In every line will be
come really better and better and tb
cost lower and lower. There is a
profligate waste ot energy, time and
money In every city today by reason of
many men trying to flourish where not
nearly so many are actually required.
if all were work! or together a far
greater state of 'perfection could be
reached, an equal amount of business
done and much more leisure given to
the worker for diversion, mental .de
velopment and Improvement. The ten
dency of business in the futare will be
to better service, higher qsality, ; less
profit, more lelsuro-and time for. those
diversions which are craved instead of
compulsory .service at a calling whleh
by long continuous, performance . bo
comes an Irksome grind.' All this por
tray the co-operative commonwealth
In fact; not an arbitrary government
ownership but a gradual scientific de
velopment; not the doing- away with
individual enterprise but the introduc
tion of condition under which' enter
prise will be approved by all instead
of cresting- Jealousy, trickery and even
criminal incentives in the mind of
competitors.
Labor 1 the motive power that ac
complishes everything. Capital Is but
a figure of speech that has been gross
ly misused. All men should be proud
to be workers. . The world ha no room
for Idler and very few who aspire, to
be such. Capitalists are an workers, or
they wilt not long remain capitalists.

HARVESTING THE FLAX
MR BOSSK PLEASED WITH THE
: PROGRESS THUS FAR MADE
IN SALEM. 1
" The flax harves Is now over and be
fore this week expire, the entire crop
will have been l.auled Into the city and
stored' In the old flouring tnin build'
Ings on North Front strett, which have
been leased to Mr. Bosse for a period
of fifteen months for the purpose of
earr1na- on the preliminary work of
manufacturing fibre. - j .
Mr. Bosse feels highly elated and
very much relieved ovet the fact that
the" flax I at last harvested, although
he obliged to have eighty acres
of tt cot with mower in order to save
It, the value of which was decreased
15 per cent thereby, and he has heaved
many a deep sigh of relief since! the
last : of the 220 acres was pulled and
cut. He has undergone a severe triat
in harvesting his crop with the diffi
culty he experienced in procuring help
and. notwithstanding: all of this, he Is
highly pleased with the product 1nd
feels that the result of the experiment
wilt satisfy ihe company which he represents-a.
to the express adaptability
of this soli to the culture of a superior
grade of flax and the production of a
quality of fibre equal to the best-he
Is confident of It. There Is one sam.
ple of flax which be-take particular
pride In showing as. a demonstration
of what he has claimed could be dona
This Is a crop of 750 pounds which was
raised upon a patch of ground, contain-;
Ing leas than one-tenth, ot an acre and
was raised from about ten pounds of
seed sown upon Nels Lund's place,
about five miles east of this city,- as an
experiment. It Was certainly a splen
did specimen ot flax, standing over four
feet hlghv and. Mr, Bosse said, would
produce the very finest quality of fibre.
This land will produce as high as H
tons to the ace and Is worth $15 per
ton for all that-he ran get.. Next
year Mr. Luad will devote ten acres
o fhls forty-acre tract to flax culture.
A number of the farmers who had put
In small crop, this year are well pleas
ed over the result and assert that It Is
more profitable to raise flax than wheat
at, ft per busheL
' Mr. Bosse has already begun the ret
ting of the flax having filled two of his
retting tanks with three tons of flax
and Is preparing; to construct several
more tanks; in the near future at an
expense of about $300. His force of
help Is now engaged in threshing; the
flax and getting It ready for the pro
cess. ... - - r- '
He will ship about one ton of the new
flax to the company's headqt'trters In
New York for the purpose of running It
through the new set of machinery re
cently received from Belgium, as a test
for the machinery before forwarding
It to Salem to be installed. Mr Bosse
expects to have the entire crop thresh
ed with the crude machinery he he. at
hand, in time to; set to Work to extract
the fibre on or before October 15th.

THE CANNERY CLOSED
FOR THIS SEASON, BUT NEXT
; YEAR IT WILL BE OPERATED
. AGAIN.
The management' of the Salem Can
nlng Company has definitely decided to
close the factory down for' the season
instead of 'running upon apples and
pears as was calculated upon earlier. In
the season. The company arrived at
thla final decision, said Manager O. W.
Holcomb. only after making a thorough
investigation of the proapect., which
was found to promise such a light
yield that the company cannot see Its
way clear to operate the plant which
would certainly be upon a losing basis.
The company ha. been reorganlxed
for business and expects to make the
plant yield a good profit next year.
New fruits, of the small and early va
rieties, are being introduced p and
adopted by the farmers, .and It s ex
pected that there will be a sufficiency
of thut tww fruit, blackberries, to keep
the cannery 1 operation during the In
terval between cherries and pears and
Secure a continuous run for the factory
throughout the season.
Mr. Holcomb says that what fruit
there la will be of a very good grade
and he regretavery much that there
will not be a sufficient quantity to war
rant the operation of the canning plant.
