they know from experience that there
is no chance to win.
Use Strategy.
OF course, there are strikes that
are forced on the workers where they
can not avoid quitting work, where
they must strike or sacrifice every
ounce of honor and decency. Many
strikes where the workers before en-
tering the conflict, were defeated,
could and should be avoided. Again,
harmony amongst the workers and
their officers should prevail before
and after a strike takes place. A
strike today must be won by strategy
not by bluffing. The strike must be
handled from scientific standpoint
in order to make it effective. The
days of either side winning strike
by the old method of bulldozing are
gone forever. Brains-not smuggling
count today. Again, when a union
is strong numerically and financially
the employers hesitate very often be-
fore entering into a conflict. The
best guarantee against strikes is a
strong healthy organization, and the
international union, which | try to
represent, has, in recent years, put
into practice the above stated meth
DDS as its policy. Our General Execu-
tive Board does not hesitate to say
to a local union, I'VE can not and
will not endorse your strike because
you are not thoroughly organized and
because we think you have no chance
to win, and we advise you to wait"
Due to this procedure, as well as to
other causes, more wage contracts
were signed, under most harmonious
circumstances with the largest num-
Der of employers in the history of
the organization.
We wish all the other splendid or
CARNATIONS affiliated with the Amer
! lean Federation of Labor success and
prosperity for the coming year. As
we ar econfident of the justice OF
Labor's cause, so are we confident
Of Labor's continued advancement and
achievement. AS Eternal Vigilance
is the price of Freedom" so also is
greater watchfulness and greater en-
ergy on the part of Labor the price
Of it's continued onward march to vic
tory, peace, understanding and happi-
ness.

Transfers HAVE
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
BY Daniel J. Tobin, President Inter-
national Brotherhood of Teamsters,
chauffeurs, stablemen and Help
ers Of America.

During the past year the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Transfers and
Chauffeurs has had one continual pc
Rod of success. One year ago we
were confronted everywhere with re-
auctions or threatened reductions in
wages, but not only have we been
successful in overcoming reductions
but we have increased our wages sub
stantially in every district throughout
the country where our people were
fully organized and this includes near
ly every large city in the United
States and in some cities in Canada.
l find that where men are only
half organized or in a poorly managed
union, their chances for gaining bet
ter working conditions or increasing
their wages are very slight In every
instance in recent years where we
have lost a strike (Which were very
few 1t was due mainly to the fact
that the men were not thoroughly or
ganized.
am firmly of the opinion that
workers should not go on strike I'M

doubtful situations, expecting the
non-union workers to quit
A strike of the workers is too dan
gerous and costly to be experiment
ing with what is liable to happen
Men and women before going on
strike should be somewhat sure Of
their ground. 1t is madness to sac

If you are suffering from eczema or
some other torturing, embarrassing
skin trouble you may quickly be rid of
it by using Mentho-Sulphur, declares a
noted skin specialist.
This sulphur preparation, because of
its germ destroying properties, seldom
fails to quickly subdue itching, even
of fiery eczema. The first application
makes the skin cool and comfortable.

The impression in official circles

ton of the British prime minister, as

is that Premier Baldwin's attitude
leaves plenty of room for a continue
ton of the negotiations regarding a
settlement of the PREPARATIONS question

BRITISH BREAK ALARMS PARIS
Premier Baldwin May Lay German
Debt Issue Before World Opinion.

Paris Possibility that Premier
Stanley Baldwin, Of England, would
announce a break with France on
the ~reparations issue, led to excited
trading at 17.51 for n United States
dollar.
Despite the gloom in financial cir.
cles, political circles were optimistic
that Baldwin would order further me-
gotiations with France.
London-Official statements made
In parliament indicated that Great
Britain will appeal to the world to
force a settlement Of the Ruhr and
reparations issue. II Is possible this
may prove the first step towards in.
dependent British .ction. The allied
negotiations are deadlocled and the
British are seeking outside pressure
to force France to show her hand.
Premier Stanley Baldwin in the
house OF commons and Foreign Sec
rotary Lord Curzon. in the house of
lords, made identical statements up
on the r~eparations problems. They
did not reveal whether Great Britain
intends to negotiate separately with
Germany and both avoided mention
ing the possibility of a break with
France.
