1t is quite evident that the United
Hebrew Trades" no longer regards itself
as an auxiliary body of temporary eX-
istence which shall ultimately become
part of the American labor movement
in time, but as permanent independent
institutions in rivalry and conflict with
the chartered central body of New York,
the Central Federated Union. The latter
body has protested against such rival
and hostile acts and demanded that, un
less the United Hebrew Trades would
unseat the seeding locals, the local un
ions belonging to international unions
and to the American Federation OF La
Dor should be instructed to withdraw
from representation in the United He
brew Trades.
AS has already been said, every effort
was made. every honorable proposition
was submitted, conferences held, policy
Of conciliation urged, all to be utterly,
f1atfootedly elected, and procrastina
ton in order to avoid compliance with
an intelligent, earnest effort on the part
of the American Federation of Labor to
secure unity. fraternity and solidarity
among the ordinary force of labor in
and around New York.
The constitution of the American
Federation of Labor provides that it is
the duty of all national and international
unions ard the American Federation OF
Labor itself to instruct their local un-
ions to join chartered central bodies
which duty precludes the right OF locals
of internationals and of the American
Federation of Labor to be represented
in a central body which is not Chartered
Now, in view of the fact that the
United Hebrew Trades is a rival. and
therefore a hostile body to the charter
ed central body of New York and vicin
ity, the New York Central Federated
Union, because the United Hebrew
Trades harbored and encouraged and
gave recognition, support and co-opera-
ton to seeding locals from the United
Garment Workers of America, an inter
national union affiliated to the American
Federation of Labor:
All international unions having local
unions which have representation in the
United Hebrew Trades of New York
are hereby called upon to perform their
duty as prescribed in the constitution
of the American Federation of Labor,
and in compliance with the laws, deci-
sions and declarations of the Philadel-
phia convention to direct that such local
unions Withdraw from the United He
brew Trades of New York.
The labor movement of America is
large, influential and comprehensive and
powerful. This continent of ours is also
large and extensive, but in all of the con-,
tinent there is no place for two rival,
hostile organizations of labor
Secession is intolerable and must be
frowned down upon.
Secession and division means playing
in the hands of abor's common enemy
frittering away the rights and interests
of the toilers.
Please give this matter your prompt
attention, action and reply and oblige,
yours fraternally,

Try to Look Like the Boss.

Did you ever notice in a big Office
how employees try to look like their
boss inquired an observant man. It's
not always true, of course, when the
boss is a crouch, and unpopular with
the men under him, but where he is
popular and sizes up as pretty big
gun to the staff you'll find that about
half the men in the place wear their
mustaches or whiskers or both just about
The way the boss does. If he has a
stubby little business mans mustache
you'll see several more of those around.

1.-The Labor Movement Will
Not Tolerate Secession"

Neutrality-suspicious. of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor have forward
ed the following letter to international
unions, after repeated failures by Presi-
dent Gompers and the executive coun-
Gil to induce the United Hebrew
Trades" of New York City to desist
from harboring and maintaining seced-
ers from the trade union movement:
Washington, August 21 1915.
The United Garment Workers of
America has. since its formation, been
in full affiliation to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Due to its efforts,
aided by the American Federation of
Labor and its affiliated unions, the sweat
shop system has been practically driven
from the trade. Hours of labor have
been reduced, wages increased, and other
Improvements secured. Despite these
achievements and the necessity for unity,
a few locals seeded from the parent
organization and undertook and estab-
lished an isolated and independent or
ganzation. They made alliance with the
Journeymen Talors' Union of America,
under the title of "Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers. Later the Journeymen
ailors Union of America, by direction
OF the convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor by referendum vote
withdrew from that alliance.
The entire situation regarding the ac-
ton of this secession movement was
considered by the Philadelphia conven-
ton of the A. F. of l.. Secession was
frowned down upon and the convention
declared that no recognition should be
given to the seeding locals from the
United Garment Workers.
A few of these seeding locals were
represented in the United Hebrew
Trades, a central organization of unions,
the ma or portion of the membership of
which were made up of Hebrews. Both
the American Federation of Labor and
the Central Federated Union of New
York the chartered central body in New
York and vicinity, encouraged the work
of the United Hebrew Trades for the
assistance they could render to organize
the newly arrived Hebrew immigrants,
to familiarize them somewhat with the
practice and the ideals of the American
trade union movement. SO long as the
United Hebrew Trades carried on that
work. they were encouraged, 1t resulted,
however, in the United Hebrew Trades
iol oiiy my, Dul encouraging anu
maintaining in every way the secession
movement from the United Garment
Workers of America and defying the de-
cisions, laws and declarations of the
American Federation of Labor.
DESTROYS of avoiding conflict and ac-
complishing the best results without fric-
ton. the executive council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor directed Presi-
dent Gompers to appear before the
United Hebrew Trades and to endeavor,
by conciiatory policy and address, to ac-
complish the trade union results. The
address was made by him. Conferences
were held by him with all parties in in
terest. The matter dragged along for
months. The request for the compliance
with the decision was postponed from
time to time without an encouraging
word that compliance would be had.
The last request i'll regard to this was
made for the meeting of the United
Hebrew Trades to act upon on August
1G, and again it was denied

MOTHER

Mother was a little woman and
never very strong. She had
many severe illnesses and was
often at deaths door, but she
recovered and lived on. She had
sorrows, but she survived them.
She saw her friends depart, and
she mourned for them; but she
dried her tears, sought out some
comforting word in the Book,
took up her duty and continued
to live.
Mother became grandmoth-
er, and then a great-grandmoth-
er; she even lived to be great
great-grandmother. She died at
the age of SO, and she had seen
the blessing Of God on her chill
dren's children and on their chill
dren.
She spent her years as moth
ers do, caring for her home and
loving her children, and teach
ing them to pray, and day and
night lifting up her own prayer
to God to help her to be a good
mother.
In her old age she lived in the
home of her son-in-law. He was
in business, but his joy in life
was the cultivation of flowers.
She sat in the window and
watched the flowers he planted;
and she saw the world go by
her window, she smiled serene
ly as it passed. Her son came
out from the city to see her ev-
cry week. He was employed by
great railway, and he rose step
by step to be it's president.
Mother did not know how to
run a railway, but she had a few
simple maxims that directed her
own life and constantly guided
the judgment of others who had
more conspicuous places to fill.
Remember this, my son." she
would say in her calm, even
voice, nothing really counts but
character" and Remember that
duty never calls us to be in more
than one place at one time"
At last she passed away, with
a verse of Scripture on her lips.
Hers was a quiet funeral. The
minister read from her own

Bible, and paid a simple tribute
to her memory. 1t was digni-
fled, old-fashioned and very
beautiful. And although there
was no publicity, the house over
flowed with friends who came to
pay their tribute to the memory
of mother.
Mother was little and frail; at
her death she weighed only eigh-
ty pounds; but two special
trains were needed to carry her
and those who loved her to the
cemetery, and the traffic Of a
great railway system kept out
of their way.
In his private car the railway
president sat with the minister,
and said: II have tried to carry
into my business the ideals I
learned of my mother. I hope
| have not failed to do so."-

The st. Louis business men in this

The same condition exists In Keo-
