The International Snchinists, Union Conforms
to Later Methods.

It was announced yesterday that the Interna-
tional Association OF Machinists has abolished
the old blackballing system as u means of voting
against applicants for membership in the local
lodges, which has been in existence for some
years. For some time there has been a move
ment in labor unions against the mystery and
hocus pocus which were used formerly to keep
unions together. and this abolition Of blackball-
ing is one OF the many results Of the movement.
In a statement on the subject issued yesterday
by Douglas Wilson, General Foreman of the in
ternational body, he says among other things:
Undoubtedly the blackball has in the past
retarded the growth of the union. II has been
deposited against an applicant for membership

jector was. still there were men who showed the
miserable smallncss OF their nature by keeping
