THE WISH ONITOR

number, wish TO enter the union, but
there is not enough work for all. Ac-
cording to Mr.. M. Kaufman, the
President Of the Union, the feeling Of
the workers is against the closed door
policy. The Union has always stood for
free immigration and for an open door
policy in the Union, but what is to be
done If the Union cannot assimilate
any more members? Consequently the
furriers are considering a plant to
shorten the hours Of work and thus
make room for more workers, who seek
to enter the trade. The problem has
been surrendered to the locals. The
operators have already approved Of
the plan. The other locals have not act
ed upon it as yet, but they also will
undoubtedly favor the plan.
Rumors have also been spreading
that simultaneously with the question
Of hours, the furriers will take up the
problem Of wages, and that this de-
mand will be made upon the employ
ers in the near future. These rumors
have, however, been categorically de-
MED by Mr.. Kaufman, who declared
that the Union honestly intends to
carry out the agreement in spirit and
word. The Union is now concentrat-
ing its power to introduce a union
label upon fur. Whether the Union
will be successful or not remains to
be seen. We personally doubt its sue
cess, because in order to achieve this
end the Union must have full control
over the conditions under which the
skins are made to be able to label
them, and this is more easily said than
done.

ganization as whole. Possibly that is
80 because each branch has complete
autonomy in cultural matters. No one
may hinder it from arranging those
lecture courses which the membership
desires. There is no "rule from above"
The central office of the order is occu-
PIED mainly with problems upon which
all are agreed, and as long as conflicts
for principles are avoided-the peace
OF the household is secured. After all
the principal original purpose Of the
societies is mutual aid, thing upon
which all are agreed. And so long as
full freedom is given to the branches
III all particulars ami the central Of
flee is occupied chiefly with business
matters-it is hoped that the existing
harmony will not be destroyed.
The Workmen's Circle is a living,
active orianization which let's its
voice be heard upon every social phe-
nomenon, and responds to every
weighty occurrence. What the Work.
mems Circle has accomplished and
what the plans for further activity are
we shall discuss another time.
What should be the attitude Of q
union toward persons who wish to en-
ter the trade at a time when there is
not enough work for those who are al
ready in the trade? Should the union
be sufficiently idealistic to declare its
doors open to any one at any time, or
should the union apply the old truism:
your own shirt is closest to your own
skin?
This problem is now confronting the
Furriers' Union. A large number Of
new persons, about eight hundred in
