1t was reported at the last meeting
of the Vallejo Trades and Labor Coun-
ell that in a short time a permanent
branch of the Piledrivers International
Union would be established in that city.
James Duncan, national secretary of
the Granite Cutters International AS
sociation and first vice president of the

swer to a query as TO how society is
benefited by trades unionism, said:
Among Otler tllQSS IL udS Deeu lne CuleI lu'
strument In greatly increasing the amount OF
money in general circulation. and thus adding
to the revenue OF nearly all classes illustrate
my argument by citing the Of my union,
which has an enrolment of 10000 members.
During the past fifteen years the increase OF
wages obtained through efforts of the association
was a net average of 20 cents a day, a total
of $33, 100 600 The cost TO the individual mem
Der is placed at SS.40 a year, or 81 260, 900 for
the entire period. This leaves a net gain Of
$S2 400 600. II is easy 10 see how this tre-
mendous addition TO the spending capacity Of
community alone constitutes a great general
benefit TO society 1t has had the effect OF sup
porting a variety of business enterprises and Of
giving employ ment TO greater number of per-
sons by the demand for labor TO supply the
increased trade created by the innumerable uses
of the increased income Not less important
than the increased wage has been the decreased
workday. With the two combined the work
man has lived better in various ways. He has
had more comfortable surroundings, better food.
better clothing. more of those means Of whole
some, healthful enjoyment OF life than he would
have had and his family has shared the greater
advantages He has invested in real estate and
other forms of property and thus has been a
factor in the growth of his community and the
development OF its resources Another benefit
may be mentioned. 1t is that which has grown
from the agitation against child labor, thereby
providing for the growing child the means OF
mental, moral and physical development, which
are indispensable to the equipment of the best
type OF citizen in the generations that follow
