Plan National Striks.

A committee was appointed by the
United Tailors Council of the United
States and Canada, in recent conven-
ton in New York, to confer with the
United Garment Workers of America
in reference to national strike Of
all garment workers next year. 1--WE
are tired of strikes in single cities"
said the spokesman of the committee.
''They cost too much in proportion to
what is gained even If the strike is
won, and a national strike, which is
more than likely to be successful,
would cost less in proportion. 1t would
place all the garment workers on the
same footing. AS all the cities in the
country would be involved, it would
prevent the garment workers in one
city from sending their goods to an
other city to be made up"

Plan For Industrial Peace.

For the purpose of settling Industrial
disputes the British government has
established an Industrial council con-
sisting of leading representatives of
employers and the workingmen, under
the Craftsmanship of Sir George Ran
ken Askwith, controller general of the
commercial, labor and statistical de-
partments of the board of trade. The
council is not invested with compul-
sorry powers. According to the orig
inal plan of Sydney Buxton, president
of the board of trade, the council was
to.be composed of ten leading employ
ers and ten prominent labor represent
atives. These would form panel from
whom an equal number on both sides
could be selected to deal with any dis
pute arising before work was actually
stopped. The object aimed at chiefly is
to assure permanent peace in the cot
ton trades.

AIM or UNIoNISM.

I II is one of the fundamental
principles of trade unionism that
each member is responsible for
his brothers condition, says
Clarence barrow.
The position of trade union
ism as to the open shop. as well
, as to most other questions, Is
generally misstated and never
) understood.
One of the chief objects of the
; trade union is TO form such a
complete and perfect organiza-
ton of its craft that through its
officers and agents it will be able
to make a collective bargain
, with employers.
The battle waged by trade
unions to gain and keep some
independence for the workmen
has been long and costly, and
the rules and regulations have
grown from the hard and bitter
experience they have passed
through.
The demand for the closed
shop is nothing but the means
that experience has shown is es-
sential to protect the liberty
they have won and give some
vantage ground for other tri
umphs yet to come.

THE SILVER DOLLAR.
Many Changes In its Design Since u

The silver dollar has undergone
great many changes since 1t was put

the first dollar there was stamped the
head OF a young woman turned TO the
right and with hair flowing, as II sue
was in gale of wind. But In 1916
congress came to her relief and ordered
her hair to be tied up with a bit or
ribbon. The fifteen stars which APP
reared on the first dollar were after
this reduced to the original thirteen In
recognition Of the number Of states.
In 1886 the design was again chang
ed. and the dollar bore the figure OF n
woman dressed In a lowing garment
