St'ty Of indiv1dualized selftshness with

the. servants and slaves of sin, sin in

OF what We, call freedom. There can
be no freedom worth talking about un-
der industrial 1niquity and despotism
forcing The working masses into labor
organizations with which to at last de-
crease the barbarisms and hardships we
see fit to create.
If We ever decide to develop a sensi-

politicians or statesmen. The simplic-
1ty of government will abolish such a
nuisance. That shall bring a simple
.1ndustrialism in which each worker
shall obtain the full benefit OF his
exertions. And all that necessitates
the love Of brotherhood spirit that
grants to all men what each one may
wish to have for his own healthy man
hood growth. Outside Of that love turks
nothing but selfishness with its per-
petual jealousies, hates, complications

WON'T HAVE THEIR HANDS TIED

In the past many unions have signed
yearly agreements and have refused to
sanction sympathetic strikes because
they will not break their contracts.
Many International unions propose in
future to embody in these agreements
a proviso that in case the firm signing
the contract has trouble with other
unions that they will maintain the
right to back sister trades even though
they have to order a strike. The en-
ployers are forcing new tactics into
