Meanwhile, my brotherly counsel Is 10

First, 10 those who are at work. Stick
to IL. Do not amid the excitement OF

ing that something better will turn up.
lie who gives up work now, whether he
be railroad man, mechanic, farmer, clerk
or any other kind OF employe, will prob
ably give IL up for starvation. You may
not like the iipe of steamers that you are
sailing In, but do not Jump overheard In
the middle of the Atlantic. BE little
earlier than usual at your post OF work
while this turmoil lasts, and attend to
your occupation with little more assid-
uity than has ever characterized you.
My brotherly counsel, In the second
place, Is TO those who have resigned
work. It Is best for you and best for
everybody to 20 back Immediately. Do
not walt TO see what others do. Get on
board the train of national prosperity be-
fore IL starts again, for start IL VIII, start

the city OF New York there were 40 gen.
eral strikes and III shop strikes. Sue
cessful strikes, 81; strikes lost, 81
strikes pending at the time the statistics
were made, 30; strikes compromised, SO.
Would you like me TO tell you who will
make the most out of the present almost
universal striker can aud will. Those
will make the most out Of II who go first
TO work.
My third word of brotherly advice is TO

who have been long time out of work.

out again and again, as many Of you have,
to get employment for those who besought
II. In some cases we succeeded, in 9th
ers failed. My brotherly counsel is TO
the nearly two million people who could
not get work before this trouble began
and who have themselves and their fami-
lies to support, TO go now and take the
vacated places, Go in and take those
places 100000 strong. Green hands
you may be now, bat you will not be
