UNIONS ACCOMPLISHMENT
Enemies Themselves Forced to Concede
that Organizations are Benefit.

Have you ever noticed that even
the bitterest opponents organized
labor, when engaged i'll their at
tacl>s on trades unions, invariably
make the admission that no doubt
unions haved accomplished great
deal of good for the wage Garner!
Have you ever stopped to con
slider the significance of that unwil-
ling admission, coming, as it does,
from an opponent and an enemy?
In fact, it is one of the highest
tributes that could be paid to Or
ganizcd labor. When the union
wrecllcrS themselves are forced to
conccdc that organization has been
Il direct benefit to the workers, they
do 50 through no personal love of
the union, but because they know
the great public has come to under
stand that trade unioniSm is one of
the great civiliZing forces in exist
cnce, and even in ;lsSailing it they
must hypocritically attack from
under cover.
y cause OF which even its enc
mics muse conccdc so much has no
need to apologize for ftS existence.
If it has been Of benefit to the
| working class it is fulfilling the
mission for which it was called into
being, and as long rs it continues
to secure improved conditions for
the producers and protects their
/ interests and makes them better
men and women, it Will stand like
Il rock against the assaults of it's
opponents.
The battle is half won in the
start whenever our foes cannot
g;iinSly that trades uni0niSm has
improved the conditions under
which the workers labor.

THROW LIGHT ON
 NEW BUNC0 GAME
MATRIMONIAL SYNDICATE OYER.
 ATED BY NEW WORKERS.
BLONDE WIDOW LEADER.
Mrs. Brown. Queen Of Love Grafters Who FIeeced Men of Wealth.
 Ingenious Dodge Exposed ' >s by the Victims.

New York.-The mysteries are be ing further unveiled in the matrimon. ial bunco establishment operated by Mrs. Bina Finnegan-Verrault and Mrs. Izella Mason-Brown, which was but partly exposed by the complaints of James V. Mcclellan, the Pennsylvania merchant Leo Kiesler. the insurance man, and Count" Ignaz Zolinof. who is now grocer, all of whom aver that they were wheedled out of various sums by the charming widow, Helen Hamilton otherwise Bina Verrault.
 The police now say that these men and several others like them were but the small fry" in the schemes of these women and that several of Wall streets wealthy men, two in particu. lar, paid dearly for their acQuaint- ance.
 Mrs. Brown, 1t seems, took care of the "b.g game" and left to Mrs. Yer rault those of the McClellan-Kiesler stripe.
 Mrs. Brown is of the peroxide blonde type. She is tall and we'll built, with fine hazel eyes and she scarcely looks her 40 summers. She has prettily- turned arm and Is free and graceful of action.
 According to police investigations. Izella Mason ran away from Halifax about 20 years ago with J. P. Brown. a civil engineer 20 years her senior. A few years later Brown died, leaving her neat little fortune in insurance. Then Mrs. Brown went to Boston. Before she departed she made the ac- quaintance of Bina Finnegan, and they made circuit of the country. touching Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities. Then. after separation. during which Miss Finnegan was mar ried to George T. verrault, they met in New York.
 Mrs. Browns money had disappear ed. owing to her extravagant living. and she secured position as cloak model and maintained a small fiat on Eighty-second street. One day she saw an advertisement for a steno- grapher to man of wealth and in a few days was on very good terms with Wall street man who has . large family.
 The Wall street mans wife died and he wanted Mrs. Brown to marry him. but she preferred being fancy free.
