trials by those In whose minds the con-

brief review of some OF the early
history OF guilds and later the trade
unions will prove that IL took men Of
stout heart and at times stout frames
to uphold and stand by the principles
that had <NAen grouped In the early as
sociations OF artisans. and many q
member OF these associa lions suffered
severe penalties for their adherence to
the vows that had been taken to sup
port at al hazards the underlying
principles OF the associations OF the
workers who had been forced to or
ganize by reason OF the brutal treat
ment that was meted out to the wage
earners of those days
Since the days Of the secret guilds,
when 1t was unlawful for the workers
even to meet and discuss the condi-
tons under which they had TO work
or the pay they were getting. the proc
ess of evolution has been steadily at
work. and as the years went by condi-
tons were bettered by condescension
here and by force Of circumstances
there until the workers got strong
enough to have an influence on legis-
lation. to cause the repeal OF some OF
the laws of feudal times. which held
men as serfs and chattels. subject al
most entirely to the will OF the mas

Next was wrung from the employing
class by forces from many sides the
recognition Of the right to organize

young to tell what time II was. She
couldn't even count the petals Of the
artificial flowers she handled. But her
fingers were not too small to put to-

found In every large city and many
small ones In which prohibitive legis
