article which it terms "a Plain Word to
Christian Trades Unionist." 1t thinks that
the sight of men standing shoulder to shout
der for the protection of God given privileges
is inspiring; but the sight of men standing
shoulder to shoulder tor interference with
God given privileges is appalling. 1t looks
upon it as a sad commentary on the weak
ness of human nature that, in their efforts
to secure their own rights, men very often
completely ignore the rights of others; and
that, in their efforts to remedy the wrongs
inflicted upon themselves men inhict
wrongs upon their neighbors fully equal to
those which they are resenting. 1t says that
trades unions, originally organized for de-

and in so doing have gone beyond the limits
of justice and right. One of the evils of
trades unionism it declares TO be the devel-
opment of a class spirit. 1t adds: We call
the attention of the Christian members of
these various unions to these dangers. Right
