He NAV make good his threat to call his men
out or not but whichever course he pursues
no knows that he may make mistake that
uiu cost his union dearly and possibly end his
career as a delegate. If there are only rev
non-union men at work and the building Is 80

matter before the Board of Delegates or Whch
he is a member Should the conditions be just
the reverse and he concludes that the posses
will be seriously handicapped If he calls MS
men out. he adopts the latter course and the
fight is then on.
His next course is to acquaint the union Win
what he has done. and also the Board OF Dele
gates at it's next meeting. In the mean time
he NAV call on the bosses and try TO come to
agreement Win lHtlH VI hc may '''N ~

his nights. will be full of anxiety and trouble.
TIE UNCERTAINTIES OF a STRIKE.
When a strike is once started there Is no
telling how long it will last or how far-reaching
may be its effects 1t may endure for re"
davs only or it may last for months. 1t may
be confined to the men Of one trade or IT may
extend to "A large number of trades and throw
thousands Of men out of work all over the city
But no matter what happens, the delegate
reaIizos that he will be held responsible for it
all and the wisdom of his action or the lack
Of it will be passed upon by impartial jury
OF his peers If the strike is Of short duration
and the men win it is a feather in the cap of
the delegate: out if it is long and co tly and
the men are finally beaten the delegate receives
2 'black eye" which ends his usefulness as
representative OF his union, ana he retires from
office to labor once more jOurneyman
workef This is one of the things which causes
the walking delegate TO proceed with caution
in the matter Of ordering strikes, and also
shows that his office is no such snecure as it
is commonly supposed to be.
The duties of the delegates Of the factory
and shop trades are much the same as those
outlined for the building trades. In some of
the shop trades. however, many women are
employed who are organized and who have
their own delegates. one OF these trades is
that devoted to the Tailoring industry of the
East side The women delegates perform the
duties of their office much the same as do the
men, and often show much tact and ready wit
in evading snags and pitfalls.

MS PAY THE SAME As THAT OF MEN IN HIS
TRADE THE ROUTINE OF HIS DUTIES.
Tho walking delegate is the agent or business
representative OF a trades-union. and generally
the hardest worked man in the organization
which he represents Far from being bed OF
roses. az is currently supposed, the position OF
the walking delegate is one that keeps him
busy during the day and often far into the
night and places upon him responsibilities That
ne cannot cvade or shirk no matter how heavy
they may prove to be. And in return FOR all
this ne receives about the same wages as the
mcr in the trade which he represents.
The position Of walking delegate is an elective
one and the term OF office in all unions is
generally six months Some delegates do not
last their term out. as they can be removed
for cause before the expiration OF the SIN
months while others are reelected term after
term and continue to represent their organiza-
tions for many years.
Walking delegates may be divided INTO TWO
classes one representing outdoor workmen'
such as the buill ling trades. and the other the
employees Of shops and factories. The duties
Of both classes are much alike. although the
manner of performing them necessarily differs
in many particulars.
BEGINNING WORK EARLY.
The walking delegate OF a building trade
begins his days work el'ly, as he often has to
be at a building where men Of his union are
employed before I a IN. to adjust some slight
difference which has arisen between employer
and emuloycs He has a card which admits
him to all buildings under construction, and
his presence is no longer looked upon as odd

things which may call a delegate to a building.

the employment OF non-uniOn Workmen on the
structure II it is the first the work Of
the delegate is soon accomplished and he quickly
goes his way to visit some other building. If
il should be the other case. however the mat
ter becomes more serious and the delegate be
comes not unmndful OF the fact that he may
have a hard and difficult task before him.
His mode Of procedure is generally as fol-
intcndent Of the building and acquaints him
with the fact that he has non-union men en-
ployed and that if ne does not Immediately
discharge them he-thc delegate-will call his
men out The foreman or superintendent may

What Do We Drink :?


During the hot season nature or
mother earth furnishes us with
seasonable vegetables and fruits. OF
the fruits we make the most palata-
BILE drinks that are both healthful
and refreshing. The pineapple, the
lemon orange, cherry, currant,
strawberry, raspberry and black
berry. The juice of any or all when
carefully prepared and served makes
a splendid summer drink. The
Model Bakery makes all their syrups
from the fruit, thus guaranteeing
any one just the kind of drink that
nature provides for this time of the
year.
Our ice cream mixed with our fruit
juices, makes an ice cream soda that
is fit only for those that know a good
thing when they drink it. Model
Bakery open day and night.
