that the time has come when they
must stand firmly together, shoulder to

tions or they and their magnificent or
CARNATIONS are lost.
1t Is evident in the first place, that
the unions have nearly reached the
point where they can enforce their de-
mands and thus secure for their mem
bers the things that are and always

ton. Heretofore they could only plan,
they were scarcely ever able TO exc

selves more or less obnoxious by spas
medically refusing at inopportuDe
times to stand for lower standard Of
living for their members, but it gener
ally resulted in their defeat.
The real battle will not begin until
the workingmen themselves awaken to
the facts and the significance of 1t all.
But battle 1t will be then, and, al

seen it coming for years and have fore
