The strength of unionism does
not depend upon concentration up
on one particular branch Of trades
unions-it depends for its very life
on the united stand and the united
resolve of all branches of the great
labor movement.
When the general of an army de

with small force. He must have
the sturdy resolve of every man IN
his army. Every man must feel that
certain percentage Of victory de-
Ponds upon him. The same applies
