SOUND ADVICE
Given New Union BY Labor
Editor

Fresno, Cal.-The recently organiz-
ed Fruit Workers Union, which has
made remarkable progress, is given

Fresno Labor Leader:
I'm spite Of your wonderful success
or rather because Of your success
you will now enter upon the period in
your career as a labor union which
will try your metal.
open opposition from employers
organized or unorganized-is an easy
thing to meet and overcome, com
pared with those sinister undercur-
rents which will now appear in your
own ranks and which will precipitate
upon you issues which must be square
ly met.
"All other young organizations have
had to meet these issues. You cannot
escape They are inevitable.
these dangers may be classified
under three heads:
4. The Well-intentioned, but poorly
informed member who talks much but
thinks not enough;
- The ultra-radical who would
warp the true mission Of your union
to fit his economic or political dreams;
g And the common, everyday
garden variety of stoolpigeon."

FOR RICH PATRONS
How a New York MiIIiner Catches the
Unwary Western Woman
With Money.

In Womans Home Companion,
Corinne Lowe tells of the wiles used
by a Fifth avenue milliner in MAX
ing the Fern Piper" hat famous:
"Those for whom the spider spread
its web were not the wealthy and
unfashionable women of New York,
but wealthy and prompt customers
from the middle West. These are the
people who make money for every
Fifth avenue speciality shop. And
the only difficulty which now lay in
our path was that this profitable GUS
tom always has to be secured through
a reputation for serving the most
fashionable members of New York so-
ciety, those notorious fashionables
who are so sensitive to a second bin
and who never think of paying their
first one until at least six months have
elapsed.
"At first we did not have a single
member of this sorority. What we
did was to fake them. This was
achieved by several ingenious meth
DDS. One of these was to pay SO a
week each to the chauffeurs of Mrs.
Philip Rhinestewart and of Mrs. Gin
ton De Sale Riyes for driving their
crested limousines up before our
doors when these same ultra-fashion-
able employers were otherwise en-
gagged. The empty 1imouslnes We're
extremely efticacious, and 1t was not
long before the women who were try
Ing to get into fashionable society
were impressed. One by one they came
to US.
Meanwhile, we were also paying
the clerks of two Of the smartest Of
New York's hotels to recommend Fern
Piper to their rich out-of-town pa
trons"

UNIONISM IGNORED
And Failure Follows News
writer's League Strike

New Haven, Conn-The strike of
the Newswriters' Equity League is a
failure that must be admitted, says
the Connecticut Labor Press, which
points to the futility Of attempting to
improve conditions without affhating
with the trade union movement The
striking newspaper writers started o
paper, which has now passed into pri-
vate hands This paper emphasized
that the strikers were not affiliated
with the trade union movement.
This" says the Connecticut Labor
Press, naturally removed from the
minds of the employers any fear thst
they might have to combat the labor
movement in opposing the newswrit-
ers' league and that helped them a
lot"
In Bridgeport, near here, the news
paper men organized under the Inter
national Typographical Union, and
some of their members were dis
charged when they presented their
grievances. The victimized reporters
were reinstated, however, when dele
cation representing the State Fedora
tion of Labor and the Bridgeport cen
trail body called on the publishers.
That" continues the Connecticut
Labor Press, "was a striking illustra-
tion Of the difference between being
in the trade union movement and be-
ing out of it."

The old year is dead, the new

we sink to our knees, and slowly
in answer to our prayers, comes

Of our childhood, and we rejoice
that We are granted one more New
Years day on which to begin again
not in our childish way, with
utter disregard Of the past, but
trustingIy, patiently, knowing that
We must ever carry with Us our
past, and rejoicing that with Gods
help, we rise from our knees, we
look bravely forward to the veiled
figure that stands at our threshold;
we know nothing Of what it brings,
we know only that it is Gods new
year. May He bless it to US all!
