TRADES UNIONS IN FRANCE.
Rapid Growth Has Been Made Durinu
the Past Year,

The growth of trade unionism in
France has been rapid. The title un-
der which the unions are known in
France is Syndicate PROFESSIONALS. "
They were first authorized by law in
1884, little over twenty years ago.
Under that law associations are per-
mitted of more than twenty persons
exercising the same trade or calling
to be formed for the purpose of pro-
noting or defending their economic, in
dustrial, commercial, or agricultural in
terests. Such associations are en-
powered to acquire property and insti-
tute special funds for mutual help, SUI
perannuation, and other benefits; the
only condition of their regular estab-
lishment and legal status is publicity.
The Syndicate" have wider mean
ing than we attach to the term trade
union" in England, for they include
unions of employers as well as of work
people, and also mixed associations of
both. The increase of unions in fifteen
years is nearly fourfold, while the
membership has increased from 481 ,433
to 1,719, 1876, or about three and half
times. On January 1, of this year the
union had 252, 036 members,
the work peoples unions 781 ,344, mixed
unions 25,S63, and agricultural unions
$50 ,953 These institutions cover all
sorts of objects of an industrial and
character, including friend
ly and other providential societies. I'm

and midwives are also empowered to
form association for mutual protection.
