to destroy every trade union in the land
His published articles first aroused the
trade unionists to the dangers that threat
ened them. and undoubtedly led TO the for
nation of the present federation. He also
edited the federation official journal, the
Union Advocate, and has written many arti-
Giles for various publications on labor
topics.
He is clear, forcible writer, who never
finds himself at loss to make his meaning
apparent As public speaker he is also in
much demand. His cool conservatism has
had large Influence in keeping the fedora
ton out of ill-considered strikes as well as
out of political and other pitfalls When
the time seems ripe TO act, however, he is
bold and unwavering and shows himself
natural leader Of men.

the day fully occupied, has not apparently

progress OF the knights of Labor under the
leadership of Terence Y. Powderly. and of
the American Federation of Labor under
the leadership of S amuel Gompers. Each
order has more than once been confronted
with conditions which threatened its very
existence, and each, with its record Of con-
tests lost and wen, survives to-day, living
national force. During the year now clos
ing each order entered at different tim es
upon an aggressive struggle which attract ed
the attention of the whole civilized world.
The federation gained signal victory with
scarcely an exchange of gunshOtS. The
knights. after a long and weary and des-
perate fight retired from the field, starved
out and vanquished by superior forces.
Nevertheless there are still possibilities in
the future which may well arouse the ambi-
ton and call for the most herculean and
enthusiastic efforts Of the Knights of La
Dor. There are still in the pathway of the
victorious American Federation obstacles
so gigantic as to challenge the unceaSiDg
watcbfulness, energy and prompt and nm
faltering decision Of its veteran and skilled
leaders. A battle won and battle lost
has not yet ended the seemingly intermina-
BILE conflict. Each order has much Of that
within it which may well command the re-
spect and admiration of mankind. There
are. too. within the forces of each lurking
dangers which may prove more disastrous to
either. or both, than the fiercest assaults Of
a common foe.
Inasmuch as December sth is the date set
for the annual convention of the American
Federation OF Labor, at Detroit, it is that
order which just now comes the more prOmi-
nently before the public eye, and to that
order the present article is devoted. Ii has
been stated that the American Federation is
based on the trade-union principle. Its chief
present object is to secure for wovkingmen

serving all that is integral in them and
widening their scope so that each, without
su Emerging its individuality, may act with
the others in all that concerns them.'
1t was at that convention that the fedora
tion declared, among other things, 1--WE
want an enactment by the workmen them
selves that on given day eight hours shall
constitute a days work. Let us. as men,
work in harmony for those issues we
