ITO work for the mutual good and ele-
walton of both and the general public.
The days of force are past. and to-
day we as trades unionists must be
governed by agreements based on actual
facts. We must be in a position. when
we ask concessions from our employers,
to present them with facts concerning
why we ask concessions. why We want
them. and why we must have them.
I'VE must not depend on our power to
