YOU ARE THE UNION.
A Few Pointers That Union Men
Should Consider.

"A rev POINTERS That Union Men
Should Consider.
A trade union can never remain sta
tionary. 1t is obliged to advance, to
prosper, or to go backward, to perish,
1t shares the fate of every organism
here below. The, growth Of trade
union depends entirely upon the har-
monious and devoted activity of its
members. The question is to make an
active and intelligent whole out Of the
diversity of temperaments and talents
Of which an organism is composed.
The principles of trade unions being
few and simple, easily understood by
all, are the spring which is bound to
incite to activity every available force
among the membership. 5E t52,.r
F. You believe you acquit your duty by
paying so much month into: your
treasury and by electing your officers
every six months. Far from it! You
are, first of all, to watch for the well
fare of your union. That is one OF the
highest duties of every member. In
the second place, you are to partici-
pate in the work. to be performed, II it
is but by your advice, by attending the
meetings.
The union is you. You are your un-
ion. It will be exactly what you make
out Of It. You complain that your ufl-
ion has no power. that 1T cannot pro-
tect you. Are you not ashamed to talk
