Trade unonism in America is international.

Jar unions concerned. The delegates
from Canada and the United States meet as MEM
bers OF but one organization. They have but one
trade union constitution, they have but one set OF
officers there is but treasury into which their
dues placed, and far their activity trade
unonists concerned, they are the members OF
but organization.
But in still broader sense the American trade
union movement is international, for it is part OF
the International Federation OF Labor, which in
cludes the trade union organizations OF America
and OF Europe. these conditions serve to lndi-
cate the progress which the trade unionsts OF the
world have made toward their ideal OF brotherhood.
If we would examine the constitutions OF those
trade unions representing skilled or semi-skilled
trades, we would find them containing provisions
for the education OF apprentices. Some, we would
discover, provide that the apprentice after a GER
tain period must be placed at work between two
journeymen, that he have their assistance
in qualifying himself as craftsman. We would
find other organizations providing for the technical
education OF apprentices. Again we would discover
local efforts, such that in Chicago, thru which
have made special provisions for the education of
their members, we'll the apprentices, in the
theory and practice OF their craft.
Some OF the international unions finding that
other satisfactory medium existed, have eStab-

affiliations but that in their interest in each other
and their interest in all those who toll they
one.
The public gathers its limited knowledge OF
trade unionism mostly from newspaper items and
editorial comment. and particularly when some
industrial dispute is in progress. The public
knows but little, il anything, about the every day
activities which carried on year by year.
Practically all trade unions have regular sick
committee. who not only visit sick members and
attend their wants, but who, in addition see that
proper comforts and necessities are provided.
The newspapers seldom tell of the beds en-
dowed by trade unions in the hospitals OF our
cities. The public is unaware of the enormous
sums of money contributed voluntarily by trade
unions locally for the purpose OF assisting the
distressed OF their and other organizations.
What is inferred by these activitiesi Is 1t
not that the trade union movement has brother
hood of its Observation-Disclosures so broad and
so deep that it obterates the lines OF nationality

without reservation, to all OF the toilers OF the

The time at my disposal will not allow me to
present the unbounded material evidence which
indicates the ideal of brotherhood which we hold,
but l not pass without calling your attention
to some evidences with which you should be made
familiar.

the laboring class of Russians is slow

army engineers, to be composed exclu-

will be the first American troops to be
sent to France.
They will go lat the earliest posi-
BILE moment" the war department an
nounced, for work on communication
lines, but speculation as to exactly
when or to what points they will be
sent is forbidden because of the sub
marine menace.
The new forces will be volunteers
raised at the nine great railway CEN
ters of the country. Each regiment
will be commanded by an engineer
colonel of the regular army aided by
an adjutant. All other officers will be
railway engineers or officials.
The recruiting points will be New
York, Chicago, st. Louis, Boston,
Pittsburg, Detroit, Atlanta, San Fran
cisco and Philadelphia.
The expedition will have a total
strength of between 1900 and 10000
men, each regiment being composed
of two battalions of three companies
each.
Every branch of railway workers
necessary TO the building or operation
of lines will be represented in the
ranks and the war department expects
a response to the call that will permit
a careful selection TO be exercised and
insure force already trained to the
minute, an army of experts in railway
operation.
Recruiting for the regiments and
the organization of each force will be
directly under the colonel of each regi-
ment Recruiting machinery of the
regular army or the national guard
will be placed at their service and it
is hoped the enrolment of the troops
will take little time.
