THE TRADE UNION.

1t is said that the department
of labor has to deal with others
than organized labor; that 1t rep
resents other workers than or
ganized workers, and that is true.
The department of labor repre-
sents and looks after the inter
ests of all the wage workers OF
our country, whether organized
or unorganized. The same may
be said Of every trade union In
our country. There isn't a trade
union in existence In any trade
or industry that has made prog
ress that has not in making
. that progress also benefited ev-
cry man working In the industry
! who is not a trade unionist. SO
far as the department of labor
is concerned. 1t will utilize ev-
cry force that 1t finds available
TO its hands for the purpose OF
promoting the welfare OF those
who toll. 1t will use most those
! agencies which are most effec-
tive. And In my experience
those agencies which have been
most effective in improving the
b conditions OF the wage workers
have been the trade unions of
this country Secretary Of La

a year after the events in the pre-
eeding chapter took place O'Connell
and his young wife were living in a
small apartment in one Of the poorer
sections Of New York city.
The first few months in America
had been glorious ones for them. Their
characters and natures unfolded to
each other as some wonderful paint
tngs, each taking its own hues from
the alteration of the other.
In company with a noted Irish or
ganizer O'Connell had spoken in many
Of the big cities of the United States
and was everywhere hailed as hero
and martyr to English tyranny.
But he had one ever present handi-
cap-a drawback he had never felt
during the years of struggle preceding
his marriage. His means were indeed
small. He tried to exc out a little in
come writing articles for the newsnn-
pers and magazines. But the recon-
pense was pitiful. He could not bear
without a pang to see Angela in the
dingy surroundings that he could bare
~ afford to provide for her.
On her part Angela took nothing
with her but few jewels her mother
had left her. some clothes and very
little money. The money soon disap.
peared. and then one by one the keep
sakes of her mother were parted with.
But they never lost heart Through
1t all they were happy. All the poetry
of O'Conncll's nature came uppermost.

and veneration of his wife.
This strangely assorted fervent man
and gentle woman seemed to have
solved the great mystery Of happiness
between two people.
But the poverty chafed O'Connell-

are always Boosting of feeling our
selves and resent any other nation

IF you take that sick, wretched
man out of this house it will be a
crime began Angela.
Kingsnorth stopped her. He turned

Angela's heart sank. All her plead

and broke:

own countrymen will one day build a

And when he comes out from his tor

may torture his body, but you cannot

rose to the breaking point and left the
