TO ESTABLISH SICK BENEFIT

A committee from the local union of
plumbers met last evening to work out
plans of sickness insurance to be local in
scope but still paid out of the treasury
without increasing the local dues The
plumbers pay dues only on a working
basis. Every day man works he pays
25 cents dues and if he is out of work
he pays nothing If the daily assess
ment of 25 cents can be made to cover
sickness and accident of the members,
the union will have achieved something
splendid. Anyhow, they are trying to
figure it out and believe that a resmup-
tion in building lines in the city will
help them to create the necessary fund
through the increase of working and
therefore dues paying members.

Mr. Taylor outlined briefly the de-
gree of organization that prevailed
among skilled trades, saying that with
several quite large strikes in certain
skilled lines, with very little labor or
ganization among unskilled workingmen,
there is vast amount of work to be
done by the labor organizations in order
to be prepared to meet the influx of i'm

confidence in our ability to withstand
the industrial shock that may be expect
ed.
