 "So far do not believe anyone can justly accuse this union of not doing its bit. On looking over our books see written across the ledger under the names of many of our members: Gone to the war And many of them went as volunteers. On the second liberty loan the members of this local subscribed the sum of S440O. The un- ion donates the use of its hall to the Red Cross and many of it's members are members of it. And feel safe in saying, after talking with many of the boys, we have donated literally to the Red Cross Fund
 "Why have we done these things? Because we realize that the great Un- ion to which we all belong, which was founded by our forefathers in 1776, is up against a combination of nations which are trying to take away from the wor l the very principles for which they fought and won. And be- cause we know our brothers who have gone to the trenches to take the worst end of our fight for democracy and freedom well deserve our unselfish support.
 "Our union is founded on the prin- ciples, of democracy. And while we have for years realized there exists within the great Union of '76 an au- tocracy of capital with which we have waged unceasing war in efforts to es- tablish an industrial democracy, and though this aim is not yet attained, we know the fight will go on till our goal is reached. And now that our nation is involved in a struggle for the very existence of its principles we have laid aside our differences and stand shoulder to shoulder with our one time enemies to defeat common enemy, just as we lay aside our fac tional troubles when there comes a time in the affairs of our union in which we find a common menacing | enemy.
 At this time, when we so stand shoulder to shoulder against this great enemy of democracy, we feel it only fitting that we should fly The Flag of Freedom And so this union is today going to unfurl that flag which every American, every union man holds dearer than life, for its preservation means his liberty"
 Mir. c. B. Cravens, a banker of Chloride, eulogized the union for its public spiritedness, the assistance giv- en theI Red Cross and Liberty bond purchases by its membership. The town of Chloride, he said, might well feel proud to consider the flag a Christmas present coming from an ac- tive organization engaged in worthy endeavor.
 Mir. E Everett, chairman of the To- cal Red Cross, portrayed the pleasan- tries existing between the two organi- zations; explained the work of the Red Cross and it's needs, and taking ad- vantage of an appropriate occasion, urged the support of the citizens in the Red Cross drive commencing De- cember r and ending December 24.
 lllC N4olJOA6I oOAAAA @1- Ellis of the superior court, in the course of his remarks brought to con some inconsistencies of both employer and employees; as, for example, the radicalism of I. w. w. policy and that of some great em- ployers clamoring to increase the hours of work, to remove the prohibi- tion to women to engage in certain and to employ children during the war on the plea of mili- tary necessity. The judge stated the efforts of legitimate union organiza- tion bears a contrast to such propo- sals and abuses. Legitimate unions op- pose them on the ground that they are a short-sighted policy in civics. For a man may work a certain number of hours with a maximum of efficiency and keep it up indefinitely, while
