hearted. They trust out their goods and wait for their pay.
 A certain percentage is never paid. This makes higher prices than would exist if there were no saloons. Knock out the booze and most men would pay their debts.
 The cry: NO license will kill busi- rcss," is base falsehood. It is the saloon that kills. Kill the saloon and new business will spring to life.
 It is needless for the writer to say anything about the effect Of the drink habit on the workingman's family. Conditions everywhere speak for themselves.
 A vote for license means the con- t1nued existence of that which re- duces working ability, increases the workingmans burdens, decreases his skill and value, increases the cost of living, decreases the respect of the community and the value of prop erty-a vote for that which is a menace to safety, shortens life, breeds dullards and endangers the public.
 A vote for no-license is vote for the uplift of the community.
 License benefits only the booze maker and dealer. The writer of this article challenges any advocate of license to prove where any com munity was ever benefited by the open saloon.
 No-license is a benefit to all honest, legitimate business and a boon to the workingman and his family.
 Knock out the saloon and give the workingman and honest business a chance.

cern Were involved was the conference

llth, 18th, 18th and 18th OF this month,
when the conferees assembled to adjust
the differences between the unions of
New York city and other cities and the
International union. The unions OF the
cities already mentioned had seeded
from the international union; several
conferences had been held previously
participated in by Samuel Gompers and
other great leaders in the labor move
ment. -
There We're about seven thousand
members involved in the secession and
the final result OF the harmonious con-
ference was the unanimous agreement
by very one present to the plan of re-
affiljstion decided upon. The Pressmen's
International Union will soon present a
united and more solidified position than
ever before, according to those who were
present at the conference. 1t is to be
hopgd that with the re-affiliation of
the New York unions that another seces-
sion movement will never occur again.
