servati0n Of the work trade unions
are doing for their members, and of
which the world knows nothing. The
trade union is not a charitable So
ciety. 1t is business organization Of
working men and women. In it any
honorable members credit is good,
and there is no necessity for him to
seek relief frmo the outside. He has
his own money for his own protec-
