this once act would alone have justi-
fed its having met in convention. The
boycott is the most powerful weapon
in the army of organized labor, but it's
misuse has almost completely de-
stroyed its effectiveness. of late years
it has been used as cloak by hood
lers in the trades union movement. 1t
has been used by one employer
through the medium of approachable
members of trades unions to work an
injury to other employers. In the lat
ter case the injury has been double
one, for the results have invariably
been to injure the trade thus used by
INSCRIPTIONS persons. In the future
1t is to be hoped that the boycott will
be used as a means of correcting
wrongs, and not as a set of burglars
tools-to break into some employers

Der of the business houses of the city,
in increasing help for the year, have
sought these agencies. The three Of
fees for the time they have been es-

positions for more than $500 per-

of the help supplied Supt. Geary, of

states that good satisfaction has been
given as far as he has investigated. 1t
is believed that these agencies will be

they have been.
