SUCCESS THROUGH UNITY.
All good trade unionists believe that
every man should be a member OF the
union II his craft and that no man has
the right TO remain aloof and refuse to
share in the work and expense OF secur-
ing the better conditions which come
through organization.
To be consistent every building trades
union should belong TO the union of the
unions in that industry whether IL be
called a building trades council, struc-
tural alliance or by any other name and
no trade has the right TO stand aloof and
thus jeopardize the interests OF its own
members and weaken the central organi-
zation A well managed central body Of
building tradesmen is as centain to ad-
vance the interest of the affiliated unions
IN the same manner and for the same
reasons as healthy union advances the
Interests OF its members.
To carry the argument a step further,
every union In whatever industry It's
members are employed. should be affila-
ted with the local Federation OF unions I'm
order that the united power or organized
labor may be concentrated TO deal sue
cessfully with matters of interest 20 all.
