Learn A Trade.

In the good old days it was the
rule among wise parents to have
their boys learn trades The argu-
ment supporting this rule was that
e.ery man should be so equipped for
life that his skill would insure him a
means of livelihood; that if suffic-
i.ntly ambitious and capable he would
rise above his trade and attain great
er success in other lines while on the
other hand, If he showed no such a.
bility, he would need his trade all the
worse and could rely upon it. The
man who is master OF a good trade
is well armed for the battle of life.
There is an opening in the Big San
dy News office for a boy or young
man who would really like TO learn
the printers trade.
This is a trade that gives enough
intellectual, educational and artistic
development to make it desirable. a
side from other considerations. AS &
means OF employment it is one of the
best No good sober printer need ever
be without work for long. Their ser
vices are always in demand at good
wages. Seasons nor weather ever in
terfere with the work 1t is steady.
Il is trade that will never be done
away with by the introduction OF
machinery or anything else.

STRIKES AND BENEFITS.
Views Of Treasurer Lennon, A. r. Of
t., on important Labor Questions.

Views Of Treasurer Lennon, A. r. Of
l., on Important Labor Questions.
John B. Lennon, treasurer of the
American federation and also secre-
tary treasurer Of the Journeymen Tai
lors' Union Of America, has just placed
before the members of the latter or
ganization some interesting opinions on
the questions of strikes and benefits.
Mr.. Lennon has been secretary treas
urer OF the tailors' organization for
twenty-five years. and his opportnni-
ties for observation at close range have
been unlimited. writes Joseph Il. Buch-
anan in New York Journal.
In cases of strikes or lockouts In
volying but one store or only few
journeymen, Mr.. Lennon says, It Is a
mistake to permit the displaced work
men to take employment In other
stores In the town or TO 90 to other
towns.
Where union has had the power and
the courage to say, No, you cannot
leave our city, nor can you accept work
In any other store until this contest il
settled they have in nearly all cases
won, according to Mr.. Lennon. But III
the strikers leave town or accept work
In other stores, the result is almost as
bad as IL they went seabbing, he says,
and under such circumstances success
Is practically impossible.
Mr.. Lennon also thinks 1t is q mis-
take for local unions TO pay or attempt
to pay strike benefits. He holds that
the benefit paid by the national union
Is sufficient. He says that the members
who strike because they are guaranteed
the combined benefits Of national and
local organizations do not make good
strikers. When the local treasures are
exhausted, which sometimes Is ar
early result DC the. special demands
made upon them. such strikers become
disgruntled and weak kneed.
To clinch the point under both of
these heads, Mr.. Lennon suggests that
II any one doubts his assertions be
should study the history Of the worlds
labor struggles.
'They will discover that the greatest
battles Of labor have been made by
those who had scarcely enough from
day to day to keep them alive"
