Join Union . Movement

Join the union! You common" la
borers. You can get the things you
want by organizing. You need more
wages, shorter working hours, better
working conditions. You need these
not only for yourselves, but to1better
provide forfthe- wife whom you prom
ised to provide for, to better protect
the children whose existence you are
responsible for. You would like to
give your wife the pleasures in life
that it is but natural she should en-
joy; your would like to make the path
way of your children easire than
yours has been. Why, then do you not
try to do it?
You would try, but you do not
know the way. You have thought of
the union, but you have been told. so
many things against it that you are
somewhat fearful. Perhaps you ina
CINE that the walking DELEGATE" and
a horde of officers vii tax you and eat
into your scanty wages, that you will
be RESTRICTED and your freedom
destroyed. tt is not surprising if you
believe this, for the papers have told
you so. With scare headlines they
have told about dynamitings and muir
,ders, and boycotts and strikes, until
you could not be blamed if you absorb
ed the idea that unionism was a mess
of violence and turbulence. But the
most important part of all this is
that it is not true. .".

making his life miserable, Or if the
working conditions are undermining
his health, there is no one to whom
he can complain. He must go on in
