THEY BELIEVE IN LABOR UNIONS

Il believe in labor unions said the Coll.
eye president,
But | think | could improve upon their
rules.
If with what the masters chose to give
the members were content;
Ii they handed the non.unionist their
tools
And patted him, like brothers, where
his backbone ought to be,
And said: Pray take our job for what
you'll get,
For our rights are non-conflicting in this
country of the free
We're Just as free to starye as You to
sweat
If they strained their every nerve to
turn out piecework by the heap,
Till the masters in alarm cut down the
rate;
If they welcomed in apprentices to do
work on the cheap
Why, then | think trade unions would
be great!
With these few and slight restrictions
which are well and wisely meant,
| approve of labor unions!" said the Coll
ege President.
e! believe in labor unions said the
Bishop to his flock,
Provided that they do not 60 too
far;
For the violence that boycotts and does
injury to stock
is only fair in military war.
Let nation threaten nation Gf the lasts
of smaller size;)
Let them righteously maraud and mur-
der, too;
But unionists should never let their ang-
~ passions rise,
For that is such a naughty thing to-
do,
They should strike in white kid gloves
and patent leather dancing shoes.
And take little mincing steps to gain
their ends.
Ii they'll behave like gentlemen, of
course I'll not refuse
To be among the stanchest OF their
friends.
Ii there's nothing in their actions that
our Christian nerves will shock,
| approve of labor unions" said the
Bishop to his flock.
I'VE believe in labor unions say the
Editors Of tact,
Provided they are always nice and
good;
For the workingman's an angel like an
angel he must act,
And not like ordinary flesh.and blood.
Although his sick wife freeve he must
be silent as a clam
Strong words, OF course would never be
polite;
He must bear the worst injustice with
the meekness of lamb
That so he may be always in the right.
If the widows mite be grabbed from
her she must not make fuss,
For that is hardly ladylike, you know!
She must show an equanimitv such as
You see in us,
As cheerfully we bear our neighbor's
woe.
II they never make mistakes, and will
always take hint.
We approve OF labor unions" say the
Editors in print.
