WALSH GOING EASY.

The New York Sun has the follow ing paragraph about Bill Walsh, "As yet the Fordham base- ball candidates have taken only light practice to fit them for the coming season. Coach Jack Warner at pres ent is giving the twiclers most of the attention. Fordham will be stronger in this department than for at least nine years. Martin, the 125-pound veteran, who was the sensation of the varsity last year, and exCaptain Bili Walsh head the list. Walsh at present is suffering from an injured index finger on his left hand. which kept him out of all but two games last year The Manhattan basketball con- test brought back the injury, and as he learned a lesson last year by try ing to force practice on his injured hand, he is merely passive in his attendance at practice, no hard work being done by him."

Wrinkle Calls Boys ''Souses."
 The defense's, case was materially injured when Jake Wrinkle, a habitue of the Hotel Grand, took the stand and declared ne had been at a table adjacent to the boys and had heard them loudly exclaim that they were twenty-five and twenty-three years old
 They came in soused and Feigen- baum especially couldn't stand on his feet. He was raising cain, said Wrinkle.
 Prosecutor filling picked up this statement and asked him how it was Feigenbaum had been able to walk in if he was so drunk he could not stand on his feet. .-- -"...
 Well, he couldn't walk straight" ," persisted Jake.
 Was anybody else intoxicated ?'' questioned the prosecutor.
 II don't understand your question, '' said Wrinkle.
 Was anybody else soused? ?"
 This time he understood and said they all felt pretty happy, but Feigen- baum was not fit to be out. He couldn't stand on his feet"
 Were you Soused ?' questioned the prosecutor.
 Not as I know of.'
 You had some drinks?"
 "I couldn't say. Naturally I went in there for som mething but I was never drunk in my life,'' said Wrinkle in re- sponse.
 Statements Contradictcd.
 Ernest A. Gordon, friend of Mar wick and Pehrer, took the stand and said that contrary to Marwick's tes- timony Zehrer was not at the cabaret on February 12; he was at a party in Belvidere with him. Warwick ad- mitted that he had made a slight er- TOT in mentioning Zehrer's name. How ever, he contradicted Wrinkles testi- mony by denying that Feigenbaum had had drink before entering the cab- afet. He also denied that the party hao gwen their ages as twenty-two ana tWenty-three years. Feigenbaum

flnenced in his opinion Of the value
OF trade unionism largely by what he
sees trade unionists doing, and by
what they think Of their orgauiza-
ton.
No non-unionist is likely to think
we'll Of the union of his trade if he
hears it's members continually find
ing fault with it, expressing the
opinion that it is not doing what it
could or should for it's membership,
its development
If members in the presence of nom
union men express the opinion that
their organization Is far from what
it should be, and that it's officers
local and national, are unfit for the
positions they hold, or if they are
continually grumblng or faultfind-
ing about something connected with
their union, how can they expect that
the non-unionist will want to become
a member of their organization?
But, .unfor tunately, it is not the
on-unionist alone who is affected
by the man who continually finds
fault with his union. There are al
ways number of members who sell
dom attend meetings but who drink
in everything said about their union
In the shop that is Of an unfavorable
character. and who, influenced by
these criticisms. lose still more Of
their loyalty, and confidence in the
organization.
There is 'much to be proud of in
the record of every trade union.
There are the men who made sacri-
fices years ago that it might exist as
protection to the trade; there are
the victories won, the beneficial con-
ditions it has established, the pro-
gress it has made, the sound and
practical policies it has developed
and adopted, the spirit of true
brotherhood which it has taught and
applied, the part 1t has taken in as
sisting other trade unionists, and the
factor it has been in securing lesis-
lation to protect the workers.
There is a wonderful story of
trade-union accomplishment to tell
to the non unionist and the indif-
ferent member. II we hope to
change the non-unionist into an ac-
tive member of the union, if we are
to awaken a pride in his organiza-
ton in the mind of the Indifferent
member, we must talkover our pro-
gress and our victories with them.
for we can never awaken confidence
and respect for our union in the
minds of others by faultfinding.-In-

INSPIRING OTHERS

The trade-union movement is not
perfect, for it is a human institution,
made up OF men who are not perfect.
It has failed to fully realize it's ideals
and so has every other human eff
fort. 1t makes mistakes, and will
make them again, for the Judgment
of it's members is not always fault
less.
But the trade-union movement has
accomplished more for the uplifting
of the workers standard Of living; it
has won greater victories in the
struggle to secure those rights as
men to which the workers are en-
titled; it has done more to give
labor a voice in determining what
the terms and conditions of labor
shall be for the employed, than any
other movement which exists today.
It has been the workers. greatest
defense when the employer has been
an oppressor, and has accomplished
the most in inspiring the workers
with zeal and courage to attack and
overcome the oppressive conditions
which have been placed upon labor
by employers, the law and the courts
It has been the greatest force,
practically the only force, which has
brought about the recognition and
application Of the principles of in
dustrial democracy, the right Of labor
to have voice in determining what
shop government shall be, 50 that
the rules and conditions established
by industry, like those established by
the nation, shall be made and ap-
piled with the consent of the gov
erned.
That trade unionism has not made
still greater gains than it has, re-
markable as its progress has been, is
due to the number of workers still
outside of it's ranks, on whom anita
gonistic employers rely in their ef-
forts to prevent it's growth.
TO organize the unorganized, to
teach them to apply the principles of
trade unionism. to inspire them with
confidence in the effectiveness Of our
movement, is a purpose in which we
cannot afford to relax for a moment.
Our progress depends largely upon
the degree of organization which we
are able to establish. There are other
things required besides numbers, but
members In large numbers we must
nave If we are to control sufficient
strength to overcome the obstacles
which hinder the establishment of a
larger measure of industrial justice.
