ONE BIG UNION.

Here is thought for those who advocate the lone
big union What has that organization which makes
the talk for the big union accomplished? How has
progressed towards the formation of the big union?
Has it stability Has remained for length of time
in particular place? What different has it to offer
the workingmen than they have? The answer to
all these questions is the same.
On the other hand, if the American Federation of
LABOR has grown slowly and has been unable to make
the progress that would like to seen made how
does its compare with which has been made
by the l. w. w.? We should all hope to see the lone
big union materalize but when do it will be the

FREE CLASS At
TECH IS 4 BOON
To WORKINGNAN
Machinist Tells How He Increased
Earning Capacity Through
Schooling Given by State.

From an ordinary job as a ma
chinist to a position as assistant night
instructor at Georgia Tech and a ma
terial increase in salary and RESPONSE
bility in his regular daily work. is the
record of what three years of free
schooling at the Tech Night School
did for ]. c. Lynes.
The opportunities that were. given
Mr.. Lynes are offered free by the
State of Georgia through Tech to any
other man or boy in Atlanta who has
the grit and determination to take
advantage of them. The night school
at Tech is a free State institution.
1t furnishes an opportunity for men
and boys who work in the daytime
to obtain free the same education
which day students pay for.
Mr.. Lynes told Saturday what IL
did for him. He said:
Three years ago / was what
suppose you might call an ordinary
machinist in Atlanta, working for
wage less than SO a day, and finding
my work hard, because while I had a
natural aptitude for machinery. l did
not have the necessary technical edu-
cation.
Il read how the State of Georgia
was offering free night school to men
who worked in the daytime. | went
out to the Tech one night three years
ago, and | have been going ever since.
I learned, and / had rather so to
Tech School at night than stay at
home, and instead of making me tired
for my work the next day, it has made
my work easier. / took a machine
shop course, studied arithmetic and
mechanics. After about six months l
began to see where l could apply what
l learned at Tech to my work in the
daytime, making labor easier and
turning out better work. Three years
ago l merely understood in an ordi-
nary mechanical way the nature of
the machinery / was working on.
To day. If a machine breaks | can
make with my own hands any new
piece to take it's place I expect l
could build one of the machines, if
necessary.
at looks like a hard proposition to
work all day and study at night,
but | want to tell any machinist in
Atlanta that if he does what l did, it
will make his life easier instead Of
harder, and a whole lot more profit
able"
