CARPENTERS UNION
First Trades Organization
To Join Chamber of
Commerce

AS a sign of the times-that get-to-
gether spirit which seems to be per-
meating the air of Hamilton-the
Carpenters Union has taken out two
memberships in the chamber of COM
merce and elected two representatives
to the chamber. Secretary A. +.
Eggleston and Business Agent Swain
b. Corson were the ones selected.
The Carpenters Union is one of the
most progressive labor organizations
in Hamilton-always to the forefronG
where the city's interests are con
cerned
The Carpenters Union is the pio-
neer in this movement and it set an
example that would be we'll for all
unions to follow. They should all be
represented in the chamber of COM
merce, which is right now undergoing
complete reorganization for the pur-
pose of doing things for the better
ment of the city. The Carpenters
Union is to be congratulated upon
being first in this important step

PUBLIC HAS DUTIES
To Perform AS Well AS
Rights"

Montreal, Quebec-In favoring the
reinstatement of Boston policemen
who lost their positions when they
struck last September, the A. F. of
/. convention gave fitting reply to the
claim that the public has rights.
The trade unionists made an addi-
tion to this claim by the statement
that while the public has rights it
also has duties By inference the
convention took the position that
those who talk Of "the public's rights"
would make a stronger case and
strikes would be avoided if the public
were alert to its duties where wrong
exists and did not wait until it was
inconvenienced to talk about its
rights"
It was shown at the convention that
the Boston policemen struck after
they had exhausted every means of
improving intolerable conditions;
after they were denied the right to
even join fraternal organization that
had connections outside the police de-
partment, and after social club
maintained by them had been dis
solved.
The convention declared that condi-
tions before the strike made it impos-
sible to main tain police force in a
democratic country.
"That the Boston policemen's re-
quest was fully justified the con-
vcntions resolutions declared ''is in
dicated by the fact that the men en-
ployed to fill their places after the
strike were given the wages and other
improved conditions which the Boston
policemen had requested in respect
full and proper manner.
"The citizens have a right to expect
a constant and loyal service on the
policemen's part; but the police can
not fulfill their full duty if they are
forced to suffer ranking injustice
through tyrannical or arbitrary over
officials, or are to be prevented from
presenting their claims for higher
wages when the welfare of their wives
and children makes this an absolute
necessity.
"The policemen owe duty to the
public, but the public owe an equiva-
lent duty to those who are employed
to wear the policemen's uniform, anC
the public owe it to themselves to SEE
that no arbitrary, bureaucratic or ty
rannical methods are allowed to de
velop on the part of those who ar,
in direct administrative authority o
the police forces"

the situation become that large farm
owners have demanded that the gov.

with this was the bringing Of the peas
