growing complexitv and the sure need
for an ever-broadening participation
BY labor in the affairs Of our indus
trial life.
Looking at the whole field. our task
IS one that demands our best thought,
that demands our highest loyalty,
that demands attention TO duty.
We have little thinps to do, ana
big things to do. II We fail in the
little things we shall fail entirely. Al
the root of it all is the organization;
without that there is nothing.
Trade union organization is the
hope Of the world today. There are
many who offer patent medicines
there are quacks and takers and
there are also crooks. Against all
of these We must beware. The trade
union is the one instrument that has
proven its merit and that has sur
viyed every test.
The best thing wage Garner can do
today is to be a good union man,
knowing why he Is a union man and
fulfilling the obligations Of a good
union man.
That is the best and most sensible
New Years thought | know of, for
the workers and for America.
