number OF labor unions had gradually
declined since 1887. Few local unions
remained. while Of national unions Prof.
| Fite has been able to find but four in oI-
intenos at the beginning Of the war the
/ National Typographical society. the In
ternational Union of Machinisis and Black
smiths, the Iron Moulders' international
Union and the ship Carpenters and
Calksrs Union. Labor was contented
and felt little need 81 united action.
When the purchasing power Of wages
began to decline workingmen sought
a remedy once more in organization.
Within a year OF two dissatisfaction was
general throughout the leading industrial
centres In New York and Philadelphia

new union being formed For weeks
at a stretch in November and December.

almost q nightly occurrence in New York.
Az one mass meeting more than fifty
unions. most % them new. were repre-

the number Of unions in the city at 80.
Al hrt many 81 the organizations
embraced only one shop. while few went
beyond the confines OF a single city.
Gradually. however. national organiza-
lions were effected. Of which at least eleven

OFFICERS WILL
MEET IN ATHENS
TAX RECEIVERS AND coLLEc-
TORS OF STATE TO HOLD
SESSION DURING MARCH.

The tax collectors and tax receivers
of Georgia will meet in annual SEES
sion in Athens on. Thursday, March
10.
This organization of the men who
receive the state and county tax re-
turns in the spring and those who col
lect the actual moneys for state and
county purposes in the fall is one of
the most important associations of Of
, ficials in the state. There are more
than two hundred members and it is
hoped that this years attendance in
the Classic City will eclipse by far
every previous convention in point of
numbers present and counties repre-
sented
The president of the association is
P E. Whittlesey, of Columbus H.
II. Linton the efficient tax collector
of Clarke county, is vice president.
The program which these officials
will carry out in discussion and plan
ming, in social events and in seeing
the sights of this city and county, will
be announced later.
