omniwise

— Time and again has it been proven that labor unions are not only not "criminal organizations," but, on the contrary, tend to build up, instead of destroying; to preserve peace, instead of promoting strife ; to bring on happiness and welfare, instead of perpetuating misery and want; and to advance the interests of progress and true civilization, which shall supersede our present industrial cannibalism. Nor is this idle boast. Wherever workingmen are properly organized, there do we find not only their material condition, but also their intellectual and moral standard, on higher and better plane. And since it seems to be ordained by an omniwise providence that communities, as well as nations, shall consist mostly of workers -both of brain and brawn- it follows that what ever tends to advance the interests of the workers is in the line of progress and civilization.
