The Walking Delegate.

II the Walking Delegate made the labor
unions, proof that these functionaries
are, as rule, what PARKS is said to be,
namely, corrupt, will cause the unions to
fall to pieces because their foundations
are rotten. II, on the other hand, the
labor unions made the Walking Delegate,
the latter will keep on flourishing so long
as the unions think best, no matter how
criminal PARKS is or how many Of his
brothers are found to be like him.
The character of PARKS has no bearing
on the Walking Delegate as part of the
present system of industrial organisa-
ton. II such a concentrated representa-
tive and master Of workingmen turns out
to be inefficacious and undesirable. for
any reason, on his merits, he will be given
up; but not otherwise.
We commend these views to the con-

The Government flies the Stars and

As in the case Of any celebration which
falls on Sunday the popular habit is to
observe it on the Monday following. put
the flag up on that particular Monday
and join the crowd in making the day
appropriately festal!
Again. as some people are sure to cele-
brate Flag Day on the previous Satur-

nature of holiday anyway, they too
should be sympathized with and the flag
should be flown on Saturday.
Every day of every other week is also
a good time to display the national flag.

The Move in the Building strike.


The withdrawal of delegates Of sixteen

If the many kinds of laboring men
lately allied in the building business had
gone 40 far as to pool all wages earned,
and to distribute them according to a
previously arranged schedule of allot-
ment to the different trades, their trade
trust would have continued to live it's
life free from the conflicts that have

The process Of trust evolution, how
