There are hundreds Of acts Of violence the

As We are having trying times for unionism
nowadays in country IL is of the utmost
importance that every union should have Off

UNIONS REGISTER PROGRESS.

Trades unions are the result and register
the rise and progress Of the advanced thinkers
among the WaRe-worlIers Of the past and the
present The whole current OF the world s
affairs-of human activity and achievements
has been influenced by its power and teach
ings. No other organized society has ever
done as much either morally, financially OF
cducatonally as the trades unions. This may
appear as a bold statement. but when we re-
member that trades unions have had to deal
with the poorest Of ,nanknd-with a class who
were Tor centuries the offspring OF serfs and
I servants-the assertion will appear wholly
within proper bounds Early history, while
giving a fair idea Of the rise and fall of ma
fiCns Of the advancement in the arts and
sciences, OF the fierce struggles TO establish
new creeds in religion or liberal forms Of gov
ernments. is strangely silent questions re-
lating TO the condition of labor Possibly the
great cost Of keeping records may account for
this, but certain IL is that the laborers in ye
good old times had no rights of any kind
except TO die. The common people were re-
sarded as natural slaves and treated as such.
EXERCISE VIGILANCE.
But if labor. organizations have rights to be
Elnolcated and grievances to be fulfilled and
dangers 10 guard against. they should exercise
unceasing vigilance in securing their body from
the control Of designing demaKogues who would
make II subservient to their own selfish ends
or convert IL into a political engine. They
should also be Jealous OF the repnfation and
good name Of the rank and file Of the society
as well as Of its chosen leaders For while

civic virtues OF its members. the scandalous
