Close up the Ranks.

BY a vote of 29S to 176 the amend
ment providing for the autonomy of
Equality colony and such future colo
MES as claim the full measure of home
rule, has been decisively adopted and
is now a part of the organic law of
the B G. G.
Many of our members demanded
that the time for voting be extended,
while many of them protested against
the extension. In view of the divis-
ion of sentiment, the Board could not
but conclude that the only course to
pursue was simply to follow to the
letter the provisions of our national
constitution. and to count the votes
at the time appointed by that instru-
ment.
In explanation of the fact that the
vote was apparently light, it may be
said Il that attendance at the meet
ings of the local unions is universally
at its lowest ebb in the midsummer
month of July; that many of the men,
bers had no we'll defined convictio
in the matter of autonomy VS.. cen
tralization, and so refrained fro II vo-
ting: (2) that many of the members
who we're not reserves deemed the
matter one that should be settled be-
tween the industrials already at the
front and the reserves now ready or
soon to be ready to join the pioneers:
and (3) that many of the members pre-
ferred not to vote until the question
had been more thoroughly canvassed
in the columns of our paper-a condi-
ton practically impossible in the cir
cumstances. These facts being
weighed, the size of the vote was ex-
tremely encouraging and compares
very favorably with its nearest pred
ecessor, the general vote cast in
January of this year by the associa-
ton.
The will of the majority having
now been expressed in certain and de-
cisive tones, the duty of the hour for
all our Brotherhood members is to
accept the sentiment of our associa-
tion and to renew and intensity, indi-
vidually and collectively, all our en-
deavors towards insuring the triumph
of the grand b c c cause. Here
stand we all, and here lies our work !:
let us be our whole and united selves
and let us cleaye to our work.
From several of our more intluen-
tial local unions came impasionrd and
grave protests against the passage of
the amendment, while from others
came eloquent pleas in behalf of the
case for the amendment. These eX-
pressions of intense convictions indi-
cate, indeed, division of opinion,
put they do not signify nor portend
a division of purpose and of action.
We feel assured that the b c c is one
body of socialist brethren that does
NOT believe that socialism is merely
dividing up No, socialism is unity:
socialism is harmony; socialism is an
unqualified acceptance of the princi-
pie of the greatest good of the great
est number.
So, close up the ranks once more.
Forward with unbroken front. Four
square against every wind of dissen-
sion and disunion! Full face to fight
aud to vanquish all that is not of the
consummate trinity of Equality,
Brotherhood, Unity,

Before coming to Washington it is
wise TO learn whether work such as

alternative to work for time on the

looked for outside employment have
found it.
