politically offensive, as political

in Issuing any instructions at all as to

BEWARE OF BAD LEADERS.

II Is not uncommon for honest aud
well-meaning men belonging to the
various labor organizations to be led
into trouble by dishonest and wrong
headed leaders; whereas, II left to
themselves aud not subjected to the
pressure of illadvised orders, they
would be in a much better condition to
protect thcir own interests,
The Chicago HTu'7 referring to the
late strike Of the packers in that city,
furnishes a clsc In p1int. II says:
Here is an instance, proving AN exception
to u rule, where individual judgment Is
more Trustworthy tlau organized Uction
The rank aud file were wiser than the i'm
medigte officers who, GisreUarding not
Only the popular sentiment, hut also the
known policy OF the general management
Of the luich's. prCcipitutcd q costly and
utterly uuavaillug strike Suburdiuates
clothed with some authority should under
stand the policy OF their organization.
The inference TO DC drawn from
such cases as these is that in too many
instances, men whose chief ambition IS
TO hold Office but who are deficient in
the requisite qualifications, succeed In
forcing themselves into positions of eN-
ccutiye trust and consequently into
positions where they are capable of
doing themselves and the cause they
represent, and especially the great body
Of worbingmcn under them, serious
deal of mischief
1t would seem as If this evil could be
remedied by the exercise of more
caution in the selection of officers and
committees. The presumption is that
those who fill superior places have
some superior fitness for the response.
bility-greater intelligence, greater sa.
gacity, greater correctness Of judg.
ment-but this presumption, we are
sorry to say, is not always sustained by
the fact; and it invariably follows that
men who are the least able to suffer,
are made to suffer the most through the
mistakes of incompetent and not seldom
irresponsible officials.
This is n matter that the labor or.
ganizations should take under careful
advisement if they would escape being
dragged into danger and disaster.
