WHOLESALE CLEANERS. The
wholesale cleaners combined last
month and adopted such restrictive
measures that small cleaners will be
forced out of business in a very short
time.
Independent concerns cannot start
in business because the association
will prevent the deliveries Of benzine,
coal; etc.
They advanced prices 100 per cent
on wholesale work without any
cause. They set the retail prices for
every garment If a retailer takes
a garment below fixed price, the
wholesale cleaners will not accept
his work.

alive system, labor when it wants a

conditions will not have to resort to
violence, picketing, ETC., to win its
just demands.> It can lay down its
tools and walk out peacefully, and
the plant they walk out Of has got
to close, for all deliveries to and from
it ceases, as the workers are united
on the cooperative or interlocking
system. Another bad feature of the
present system of uniOnism is in
signing contracts with the employer.
This is very bad, and the workers
should not do it, or permit their rep
resentatiVes to do it, for this is a
form of slavery, and it acts as a det-
riment to another group in the same
plant who are dissatisfied with their
conditions or pay. The workers
should commence to realize that no
