Young French Workmen Travel Al
ways Ready For u Fight.
Jealousies between the workmen's
corporations in France result in "Ho-
meric" combats, bloody battles. 1t is
the one bad side Of an institution that
is otherwise so truly fraternal.
They start out in companies, rarely
alone, to make their "tour Of France"
Before coming back to continue their
work In their own villages the young
apprentices go together from town to
town to study on the ground the mas
terpieces of their trade and to see the
best that the genius of their ancestors
has produced. 1t is the knight erran-
try Of the workman.
He earns his living en- route, perfects
himself in his profession, learns from
one master and another, sees, COM
pares, studies, admires. He gathers his
humble harvest Of souvenirs and I'M
pressions, enjoys the full vigor of his
early years and passes his youth along
the sunny highways.
Unfortunately there is disagreement
among the societies." In everything
there is found pretext for quarrels.
The society of the Pere Soubise is
Jealous Of that Of Maitre Jacques, and
the Enfants du Solomon take part in
the quarrel whenever possible.
