cause all the members had left the place

| "The foregoing shows that twenty unions
were organized and ro0rganized during the
term, and eight suspended-a gain OF twelve
unions"
The cost of strikes during the term was
$40, 1864
"Unauthorized strikes have not troubled
the organization during the term. There
may have been jobs struck without the au'
thority Of the international Union, but nc
strike of any magnitude or Involving any
principle of the Union has taken place.
This is an encouraging sign. 1t shows thal
our members begin to appreciate the fact
that the old saying of the longest way
round is the shortest way home applies tc
strikes. The two weeks necessary TO gel
authority from the International Union tc
strike gives time for cool action, reason has
chance to assert itself, the chances of defeat
or victory can be well considered; and Wher
the authority Of the international Union l:
given, 1t means fight to the bitter end, as
the past two years has clearly demon
strated."
