| would again remind those Unions that are
assessed to support the strikes now in prog
ress, that it is expecte and required Of them
that they do their whole duty in this respect,
to their sister Unions The law creates
striking fund in each Union, prior to Jan. 81,
1874, and the plea that they have no striking
funds on hand with which to support them,
Board, should they be in trouble and require
aid A record is kept Of each and every I'm
ion, and on the manner in which they respond
in aiding other Unions, will depend the amount
Of support they will receive when they apply
to the Executive Board 1t would, therefore,
be well for them to examine their record before
they embark in q strike, A. the Executive
Board will strictly adhere to the principles
expressed in their circular of December 22d,
1873.
| would also remind those Unions in arrears
with their Quarterly Reports and per capita
tax, that it is necessary for them to forward
them to the International Secretary immedi-
ately. Failure to do so, on their part. deprives
the other Unions who have complied with the
law, from receiving copies Of the Constitution
which has been ordered to be printed, but
which it is impossible to do as long az the per
capita tax the principal source of revenue Of
the International UniOn,) is withheld In
order to prosper, you must do your full duty,
and in return, We ask you to hold us strictly
accountable for the performance Of ours.
Yours, fraternally,

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. IL, 1874
To the Officers and Members Of Local Unions
desire to direct your attention to notice Of
Mr.. Cameron, in ADVOCATE Of Feb. 7th, relat-
ing to unpaid loans and to express the hope
that each Union will send in their list lin al
phabetical order if practicable, at the earliest
moment. 1t is desirable to have a complete
list of all outstanding loans, in order to arrive
at satisfactory settlement between the I'm
ions and the recipients Of the loans.
1t is hoped, that in publishing this list,
that due caution and care will be exercised BY
each Union, so that men be not published who
have paid their loans. The action taken by
Union No 90. in cancelling all their outstand-
ing loans. is highly commendable, and is wor-
thy of imitation; being done with q view Of
benefitting the whole trade; and similar action
on the part Of all the other Unions would un-
doubtedly make large accessiOns to our mem
bers but, of course, this IN q matter for each
Union to determine for itself.
Yours frAternAlly.
