v By M.. Grant Hamilton.
(General Organizer '.American- Feder
ation of Labor.)
It should be the' aim of Jnn ion labor 1
in every city of our country which
has a population of union", men -exceeding
. 1Q0Q members .to -.build .a
home." This question has ibeen agi
tated in ..a : number, of industrial1 cen
ters, but, as yet, only a.iew have built
temples devoted; exclusively Jto organ- J
ii.au. iivuur. vu cue wmer uuuu,
practically all the cities that make
any pretense in the commercial fields i
buildings devoted to the uses of Cham-1
bers of Commerce ann Boards off
Trade have been erected. This rep
resents the interest manifested by
business men in-1 the commence of
their respective cUeies, and there is
110 reason why organized labor should
not build for itself a borne wherever
union labor is sufficiently strong to
maintain a nermaneht abode. Build
ings devoted to the exclusive use pf t
organized labor have had a salutary
effect in bringing closer together the
members of our various organizations.
In Seattle, organized labor built a
temple three stories -high and upon
its completion found it to be inade
quate to its needs and immediately
added anotner story. This enterprise
is paying 6 per cent interest on
the investment and the 1 rents of the
various drganizations making Use of
this building have been materially re
duced. ' .1
San Francisco also hasa Labor
Temple of its own and 1 am informed
that it also is a profitable invest
ment ' x i V-
Kansas City is just completing a.
Labor Temple. In the latter city
they have been trying for some twelve
years to. build a temple whksb, -when I
completed, will be entirely ireerrom'
debt, which will be sometime n . tfhe
near future. They will have a bulld-i
ing that will be a . credit to the move
ment There is no reason why the
members of our movement should
not make an effort in every city and
town where unions are insufficient
in number to erect for themselves a
place where all members of the vari
ous crafts might find a common meet
ing place. It not only advances the
best interests of our movement as a
whole; but gives the individual mem
bers a stimulus in their efforts to
further build up the movement In
every city where a home has been
erected for organized labor, it is
found that it is more effective than in
places where organizations are scat
tered throughout the various parts of
the city. So far as the investment
is concerned, it ' is indeed a profita
ble one to all organizations participat
ing. In the ' emples of Labor which have
been erected we find reading rooms
where aFe to be found practically all
of the labor press, both local and
international, a large number of ourT
members taking advantage of the;
same. Our efforts have been expend-1
ed along the lines of education and j
in the reading rooms of the few tem-i
pies which are now being conducted
we find that much attention is being
paid by the members to the current
literature of our cause. It is also true
that where a common meeting place:
is provided you will always find the;
active members of our movement con
gregated and it necessarily follows
that discussions are entered into, ben
eficial to our movement as a result
of the mingling and commingling: of
our affiliates. If it were possible to
erect buildings of this character in
fifty or sixty of our cities in the com-'
ing year, a notable, increase ?in mem
bership and efficiency would be noted,'
and it. ought to be at 'once taken -up
and discussed wherever there 4s
a tons pie. . ' :
The Labor Press of our country nas
not a very smooth pathway,' and 4s:
limted to a very small field of opera-'
tions, not only so far as advertising
patronage is concerned, but also from;
a news standpoint If, iioweverj- it
wore possible :or- tho editors of these
papers to receive from a commons cen
ter the current news of the organiza
tions, it will be possiblefor these, pa
pers to give the . live;, and up-to-date
news from their various 'localities.
As stated, it is extremely difficult. fori
an editor of a labor paper vtoegpaploy
a sufficient force to gather - the jaews
of the nnions where th&ir meeting
places are scattered . over a broad
area, and it c:n be said of the local:
labor editor that he does exercise a.
tremendous influence for .the benefit
and uplift of our movement ,
It is not a very difficult undertak
ing for a body oL men to, commence
the building of. a - structure, which
would be necessary for .the use of .or
ganized labor, but it -does take some
persistence and good judgment. -When
the object of their, .efforts .has been
completed, however, they win be ex-.'
ceedingly well repaid. v'; -
Our movement to a very 'large- ex
tent is a business proposition - and

THE LABOR MOVEMENT IN
;Jernlltiea of lbor., Readers.
; J vfey . the ReVl WarlealStelzlev '
ltiwas a privilege to .the. labor
leaders who have- made scuch a djp-!
ainct ' impression -i. upon, the Political
2an"d c6n0mtd pilfer lot; Europe. On a
number .ot occasions I Jtiad "tea" in
the House of Commpns with some pf
the,. Labor Members. One afternoon
I. spent an .hour Jpr ; more discussing
English and American ' trades .union
ism with about a dozen of the lead
ers, among -them btelng Arthur Hen
derson, M. P., the chairman of ' the
Labor Party jn ParHahient; J. Bam
say Macdonald, M. P.t Secretary of
the labor Party; . D J. Shackletop,
M. P., chairman of "the Trades Union
Congress;- Will Steadman, M. P., sec
retary of the -Trades iUnion Congress ;
Harry 5osling, members of the Parlia
mentary committee pf Hthe Trades XJn
ion Congress and member, of the Lon
don county Council; George Nicholls,
M. P., aud Will Croaks, M. P. I al
so met many of .the labor officials
who are at the -bead of the national
organizations, several of them hav
ing been fraternal delegates to the
conventions of the American Feder
ation of Labor, t V-:.
.The thing that s impressed me most
in .talking with- the men .was the ;fact
that trades unionists c particularly in
EngWd, have developed a company
of. specialists .who direct them : in
their efforts to secure special legis
lation ; in Parliament or in obtaining
concessions .from the. .employers. In
such matters as chihl; labor, old age
Densions. women's place ip the state
and in industry, in educational ques
tions, and in temperance, the British
leaders have Xew -superiors in any
walk of life. In mahy cases.. they ire
the .authorities on i?tliese subjects.
Organized labor in Europe-bas learn
ed the -..value pf retaining .the .ser
vices .of v their leaders ; long enough
to . utilize .the experience which ithey
have obtained ajs students ipf indus
trial - problems. S A labor- ieader on
the- other side seems to make- a : pro
fession :of his business,' which is .as
it should be. The result has been
that labor leaders abroad, aSvaciass,
are - more effective in legislative .mat
ters than -.are jsthelabor lea4ers tn
America. True ,enough,.tUey ,have
been longer jeem fronted, by mdustrjaj
