At the State Council of the United Order
Of American Mechanics, held in Philadelphia
last Wednesday, resolution against Unions
was adopted, and measures looking to resto-

inymcn and Dcmagogues,' said that no man
had ever lifted himself to cmincncc who was not
willing to give an equivalent for his wages or
who stopped to count the hours. > She took
strong ground against the labor organizations
rs at present conducted. and favored the re-
>roraiun O. the old apprenticeship system.
