Boast of Trade Unionists.

THE proud boast of every trade
unionist should be unstinted loyalty
to these United States of America OBJ
servance of contracts should be the
aim of every member as we'll as every
union official. We must play our part
in the war manfully and well. Every
Legitimate endeavor should be exer-
cised before a tie-up in any trade re-
suits.
I'VE must keep pace with time. Go
forward. not backward. Ungrudgingly
give the best that is in us If we are
to expect the best in return. Con-
ditions are being transformed over
night. We must meet these new de-
mands safely and sanely.
NO matter how difficult II may seem
or exacting the task. labor must
strive to preserve intact during the
war the principles of collective bar
gaining. When the curtain falls on
the worlds most deplorable slaughter
in history. when the sound of shot and
shell shall be heard no more ard re-
construction begins to rehabilitate the
shattered areas of the world to a nor
NAL state. let it be said of organized
labor that every measure of industrial
democracy enjoyed when we started
out TO make the world safe for de-

accepted as public opinion. and under
