It is of course raking up ancient his

isty Of events forced upon the Trade
Unions the desire to add to the defen-
sive, and at times, aggressive work of
Unions also, the helpful aid of politi .
cal action. Whether they are right or

At present Parliament is not sitting
and the great political questions which
perturbed the public mind a month or
two ago are no longer with us day by
day. The much-discussed Budget went
through with the direct aid of the La
Dor party and when the postponed de-
bate arises on the question of abol
ishing the powers of veto usurped by
the House of Lords it certainly APP
pears that it will fall to the Labor
party, helped by the Irish party, to
stiffen the governments back in this
| matter. Labor has not forgotten that
1t was the House of Lords that finally
set UP as law the ruling that Trade
Unionist funds could not be applied
to the support and payment of those
members Of the Unions who were elect
ed to represent their Unions in the
House of Commons as Labor members.

turbed the economic life of this coun-

Is no doubt, however, that consider

surface both in Wales and North of

1t is true that at a meeting on May
9th the Master Cotton Spinners agreed
to postpone for three months the fore
ing of a reduction of per cent in
wages with all the want and misery
that. a lockout or strike would have
meant. At the some time it has to be
borne in mind that the mill owners
are dangerously united. The Confer
ence represented 100000 spindles, a,
larger number even than was covered
by the membership of the Master Cot
ton Spinnrs' association.

Crrom Our own Correspondent,

London. June list. 1910.-The Trade
Untonist position in the British Isles
is exceedingly strong. It has had its
years of deep depression and weak
ness. but the latest statistics give the
total Union membership as 2,S78,243
spread over u65 unions. The 100 big
gest unions with total membership
of 1,4S2.649 had by latest figures total
reserve funds amounting to nearly
tWenty-six million dollars.
Some of these unions rank as the
most powerful in the world although Of
course they have their fluctuations. 1

prize example of the Trade Unionist
unit in its most powerful modern ex-
preston. The class Of men catered for
is highly skilled.
There is no federation including any :
where near the whole of the British
Trade Unions. The nearest approach
to this, however, is the General Fed
GRAFTON of Trade Unions which has a
total affiliated membership of over
700,0 900. Next comes the Miners FEEDER
alton of Great Britain with a member
ship of about 60O,00 and the Fedora
ton of Engineers and Shipbuilding
Trades with a membership of $4,000.
Women take a prominent part in
Trade Union work in this country, es-
pecially the female Lancashire Cotton
Operatives. The total number of fe-
male members of Trade Unions at the
present time is estimated at 100000.
One of the leaders In this movement
is Mary Macarthur who delivered an
address in London on May oath, on the
International Organization of Labor
Conditions. She pointed out that the
old idea that Great Britain was always
ahead in Labor legislation was no
longer true. We took the lead in fac
tory legislation but had not kept the
lead. Labor exchanges and State in
surance were made in Germany" The
necessity for International action was
realized at the very outset of factory
legislation in Great Britain, but the
credit of the first international confer
ence belonged to Germany.
In 1890, Miss .Macarthus points out,

peror. all established governments ex-

was held at Bernie in 1906. when the
prohibition of industrial nightwork oe

LABEL TALKS
= *~***~**.*##*%~%%
By B. A. Booster

In talking label" to you I don't
want you, to get the idea that am
appealing to your sense of brotherhood.
I am not SO foolish. I sometimes
think that there is no such thing N
all the world as real, downright al
truism: for even when we do some
apparently supremacy unselfish thing
we do it only because we get more
pleasure out of doing it than in not
doing it, and so it is the innate SELFISH
ness after all-the desire to please our
own selfish SELF So when talk
brotherhood" it is not in asking you
to give up something for your broth-
er's sake, but TO HELP YOUR
BROTHER FOR YOUR OWN SAKEG
A brotherhood makes stronger eacQ
individual composing it, It is thers-
fore to the selfish interest of each oe
us, as individuals, to become part Of
a brotherhood. Individually we ara
weak; banded in a brotherhood we are
collectively strong, and, therefore, In
dividually strong. You may wonder
what all this has to do with the label.
1t is simple. Your own craft is q
brotherhood; so when you help a
brother i'm another craft you are still
helping yourself. When you buy an
article that bears the union label you
have helped yourself; when you buy
scab made article you are injurinS
yourself-weakening yourself. Build
up the label unions and they, in turn.
by the mere reflection of their strength.
if nothing else, will build up yours.
Let them be torn down, let those
craftsmen be thrown into the army Of
job-seekers, and as sure as fate some
Of them will be seeking for your job.
Now be selfish enough to demand
the union label.

MAD CAT ATTACKS FAMILY
Three Month Old Baby Badly
Injured Before Animal Is Shot.

Maddened because its litter Of kittens had
been taken away from it, a large black cat
belonging to Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Sauer
Of No. $50 Ninth avenue. attacked a three
month-old baby yesterday and dragged it
from its crib. Besides being severely
scratched and bitten by the Infatuated ami
NAL. the baby also received possible
fracture Of the skull. Two patrolmen
finally killed the cat with two bullets.
1t was just after o'clock yesterday
morning that Mrs. Sauer was aroused from
her sleep by a noise, and when she had
struck a match she saw the infant lying
on the floor with blood streaming from it's
ears and nose. Mrs. Sauer rushed to the
baby, and as she did so the cat. which had
been crouching in a corner, leaped at her
face and clawed her severely. Mr. Sauer
then seized the cat and threw it to the
floor, being scratched as he did so. Before
the animal could again attack him he
opened the door and kicked it half way
down the stairs.
Patrolmen Stanley and Thorn, of the
West S7th street station, ran to the house
and found the cat crouching in corner on
the second floor. They finally ended its life
after they had cornered it in the cellar

The latter proposal was reported several

reorganizers. and is said TO have been re-
