THE GOOD OF UNIONS.

The question Is often asked: "Of
what good is the Union. and what rea~
son Is there for It's existence7"
There would be no reason or excuse
for the existence of the Union If all

the employe to work for a bare exist

conditions. and long hours In order
to lessen these perils and to secure n
more equal share of the wealth
