SHEET METAL WORKERS BUSY,
The meeting of the sheet metal workers
last evening was one OF the most lnterest-
ing sessions as well as one or the busiest
that have been known for some time.
The esion was very spirited and the
most OF the business was or an important
as we'll as OF a private nature, so that the
session cannot be made public as TO its
proceedings. The most OF the business
pertained TO the work Of the coming
spring and the conditions under which
the men were at work at this time.
LOYALTY TO THE UNIONS.
There is a feeling growing among the
momebrs OF the various unions that the
feeling of loyalty TO their body and their
craft should be cultivated 10 greater
extent than is being done at present and
the various unions at their meetings are
discussing the means OF bringing this
about.
The men are realizing that there are
few enemies about who are preaching an
Injurious doctrine and that their sole aim
is 10 disrupt the various organizations un-
der the guise OF purifying them or max
ing them better. The plans OF these half
hearted unionists and those unfrendly To
the success Of organizations is 10 get into
a crowd OF union men and TO so talk and
argue that the seed OF distrust Is sown
and suspicious are grown. Another of
their plans is 10 see nothing good In those
who are In control OF various organiza-
uons elected by the bodies but TO throw
cold water upon all that is attempted In
the way OF making success possible.
The men who are discussiong this phase
OF the situation over at Labor Temple are
limiting that those who arc using their
cnd,svors so generally 10 disrupt and TO
iniure the various crafts are In the em-
rlov of the employers and IL is for the
benefit OF that class that they are work
ing and not for the organizations with
which they have become allied.
The plan OF the men Is that they Will
work nm and enthusiasm for the unions
nui,.ng the members by short talks NJ
each session on the loyalty that Is due
the c1use and the efforts that are being
made 90 purify all organizations 80 that
tho men will sec the right as it Is and not
as these dospoiers would have them
The plau will be inaugurated imme-
diatcly and those who have been discour-
aging the movement viii find themselves.
