Its Influence in Helping Make the
World Better in Every Way.

Trade unions have done more to
improve the home life and social
and material wellbeing of women
than any other agency or institu-
ton. As the husband or fathers

Women are benefited more, if
that is possible, by the good re-

ing up and fostering the trade
union movement. A certain well
known writer now in the employ
of the United States Government
recently brought out the interest
ing fact that the number of MARI
ages fell Oft greatly during the
periods OF industrial stagnation.
This all proves that the more the
men earn the greater the number
of marriages. 1t must be dull
mind, indeed, which cannot under
stand that the more the men re-
ceive i'll wages the more they will
have to spend upon the family in
making life worth living and home
more cheerful; the more time the
men will spend in it and away
from the saloon and other places
where he should not be.
The only way for men and
women TO get better wages is
through the trade union system OF
organization. Trade unionists who
receive fair wages are enabled to
furnish better homes. Better
homes make better women. Better
women make the whole world
better The unionist can afford to

school longer. Well educated
children make better citizens. The
world has been made better by the
trade union movement. 1t is the
duty OF every woman to do all that
she can to assist the workers to
organize, whether they be male or
female. Every woman who works

a member of the union OF her craft.
