In George Cram Cooks novel, "The

proaches the heroine with maintain
ing and profiting by the established
order.
She protests that she does nothing
to maintain the established order
and the apt reply comes back:
d.. "To do nothing is to maintain the
established order"
Truer word was never spoken.
ITO do nothing is to maintain the
established order"
The active opponent of Socialism
is not it's only enemy.
He who believes in Socialism, but
does no active work towards securing
it, is also an enemy of Socialism.
BY his Indifference, he helps TO
maintain the existing order.

will vary from $40 to $50 per month,

five years service is required before

is understood, though, that the old
age and pension plan is optional with
the membership. If that be the case,
it is problematical whether it will
