1t was not until 1884, however, that the unions
were placed upon firm legal basis In that year,
through the activity of NJ. Waldeek-Rousseau
statute passed which is still the fundamental
trades union law for the country. BY this law the
unions we're entirely legazed. it being merely pro-
vided that each union taking advantage of the law
place in the hands of the government officials copy
of its constitution and bylaws and the of its
officers, who must be FTenchmen, in possession of
their civic rights The unions granted the right
to unite into federaOns to and to hold property
with provso that they could only hold enough real
property to provide places for meetings. well as
libraries and technical schools.
In France trade unions included Ender the
head of what may be called trade associations syn
dicats professionals These trade associations in
clude beside the regular trade unions, organizations
of employers and mixed organ cations. Thus at the
present time there 36bO employers associa-
tons in mining, manufacturing, commerce and agr-
culture, the membership of which amounts to $4,000.
There also 155 sO-called mixed associations con-
ssting of employers and wOrkmen. in these organ-
cations the employers and workmen each contribute

certain share of the expense of the organization,
and provision is made for aid in the of sickness

poses. An association composed however. of indi-
vidua employers and workmen cannot take the place
of trade union and cannot represent the interests

it difficult to maintain this number of adherents.
At the present time there are 4000 members of
the French trade unions The organizations although
small, with average membership of only 170. are
rapidly growing their numbers having than
doubled within the last eight ten years As in
England and the United States the unions grew
slowly during the bad times after 1893 but from 1898
their growth has been phenomenal This is especial

French trade unionists to be found. The unions
have spread into many grades and especially during
recent years, have attracted large numbers of
At the present time there $4,000 women in

the proportion OF women is much larger in the mixed
unions and that these hybrid combinations strong
est in the trades where women unskilled workmen
employed and where the organization of real
trade unions is difficult
The French unions are largely engaged in solving
the problem of unemployed. Over 800 of them have
employment Offices, many of them have out-of-work
benefits, and still others make definite payments to
permit the members out of work to travel TO other
cities The unions also maintain general benefit
funds, libraries and, in cases, schools for tech
meal training, cooperative societies. newspapers old
funds accident funds and in the case of five or
CARNATIONS Laboratories.
Unfortunately. however, the unions are for the
most part SO small and many that they fail to
have the same influence upon wages, hours and con-
ditions of labor that is exerted by American and
English labor organizations. In many cases two or
three or more unions exist in the trade and in
the same town, and friction and jealousy are engen-
dered by this rivalry. The unions however. have
now begun to form declarations of a national scope.
and about one-third of all French trade unionists
are organized under what may be compared with

lin think it the proper way to display
such gratitude by humiliating the most
conspicuous living leader Tennessee
gave to the Contederacy, and putting in
his place a man who has contributed
nothing but glowing words to dead
cause,
Gov McMllin's speeches at these
Confederate reunions have invited, in
deed, they have forced comparison be-
tween his action and that OF Gen. Bate,
when the South called upon her sons TO
meet the invader. Con. Bate became a
soldier of tho COnfedcracy on the day
after the first shot was fred at Fort
Sumpter Gov McMillin suffered the
call to go unheeded till the war was Ov-
er His zeal for the South was reserved
for Confederate reunions where there
are no volleys Of musketry or roar OF
cannon to interrupt the tlow OF his elo-
quence. Gov. McMillin has been care
full to say in all his reunion speeches
that but for his youth he, too, would
have been a soldier There are thous-
ands OF Tennessee boys sleeping in un-
marked graves on the battlefields OF
the South who were younger than Gov.
McMillin. ThoS. B. Turley and he
were born the same year, lS45, and Mr..
! Turley served four years and was twice
wounded in the Confederate army. Gov.
McMillin was sixteen years old when
the war began and thousands of sixteen
year old boys we're in the Confederate
army. He was eighteen wears old which
was full military age in both armies,
when tho war was half over and the
fortunes Of the Confederacy were hang.
! l., L.. 49,,
old when tho war closed, which was the
| age of general Bate when he came out
! OF the Mexican war. A man who was
| too young to fight for the Confederacy
at eighteen and twenty, wonld still have
considered himself as still too young at
| twenty-five or thirty. The truth Is
that Gov. McMillin was attending col.
lege, pre- pairing himself to enter upon a
political career as soon as the war was
over
! Gen. Bate has deserved as we'll OF his
State in tho Senate as he did in the
fold. His ability. his integrity of char.
acter, his untailing sympathy with the
masses of the people, his faithful ad'
herance to the true principles of Dem.
ocracv have won for him the respect and
confidence of classes OF people. His
worst enemies pay tribute to the stain
/ lessness of his character. When such
man as this is presented as practical
ly the last representative Of the old
guard of the Confederacy who will ever
ask for any high Office from the people
Of Tennessee, what answer will the peo
pie give? For when VIM. Il. Bate pass
es from the scene no "old soldier" will
ever again disturb the ambitious dream,
of the aspiring politicians who were
"too young to 60 in tho army.

Wartrace, July II. 1873.
To Messrs. Galloway, Rice, Winchester, Brown
and others:

Of Tennessee and a southern soldier, ! would
feel dishOnOred in this hour of trial to quit the

This letter speaks for itself By sim
/ ply cOnsenting Wm. b. Bate could have
honorably retired from arduous and dan
gcrous service in the field to accept a
position which carried with it ease and
| honor aud dignity with freedom from
| the tolls Of war and the periIs Of battle.
! He had not sought the honor thus Of
| fered him and he could truly have said
! that he was acting in obedience to the
call of his Countrymen. There Is nc
question but that If be had simply been
willing to accept be would have been
elected governor of Tennessee. He was
at the time broken and shattered with
wounds, and compelled to 90 upon crut'
ches. lie could not mount his horsl
! without assistance, or sit in the saddle
without pain. Who could have blamed
! him if he had taken advantage Of this
opportunity to find an easy and honor
able retirement from active service IN
the field?
Bat he did not do it, Live or die be
would with the boys in tho trenches
share with thom in the hlrdships o
war, and brave the dangers of the bat
tlefeld. And until the last shot was
fred, until the last Confederate hat
surrendered, until che COnfederacy was
furled forever, he remained with tn.

Never until the war was over and
there was no longer cause, or opportun
ity, to draw mis- sword for the South, ol
expose his SCARED and shattered bod
to the bullets of her enemies did VIM
b, Bate ask any civic Office at the handt
of his Countrymen
And now we are told that it is abou
time for THE old soldier to be put Il
sleep" And this plea is made to in
duee tho people Of Tennessee to kicl
him out of office In his grey hairS, anC
give his place to one who was olde

South, but who never shouldered gul
or faced bullet in her cause. "Fh'
