The death of William s. Baldwin,
which occurred early Friday morn
ing, October 9, brings genuine sorrow
to a large circle of friends and ac-
Quaintances.
Mr.. Baldwin was born in New
Brunswick, November 20, 1850.
About the year 1880 he came to Au-
gusta, where he lived until his
death. For many years he was en-
gagged in the roofing business and the
well known Baldwin roof" reflected
the absolute integrity of the man who
built them.
He was a Past Noble Grand of
Asylum Lodge, No. 20. Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, Past Chlef
Patriarch of Jephtha Encampment,
No. 3, and was a member of Canton
Augusta, No. 8, Patrlarchs Militant,
of which he served as Accountant
from 1897 to the time of his death.
December 8, 1920, he received from
the Sovereign Grand Lodge the
Grand Decoration of Chivalry.
He was always loyal to the great
underlying principles Of Oddfellow-
ship in its various branches and
made these principles a part Of his
daily life among men. Honest, kind
hearted and loyal, with simple
Faith in the Fatherhood Of God anu
in the Brotherhood of man, he lived
his life, life that marked him a true
son to mother long dependent on
him, true brother to the sisters long
objects of his care, and true friend
to all who knew and enjoyed his
friendship. One sister, Blanche M.
Baldwin of St. John, N. B., survives
him.

Sunday, October IL, at o'clock in
the AFTERNOON. All friends are well
come. Services will be held and in

Left Wing BARRIERS of
Local SAB Repudiate
Man Who Joins Bosses

The progressives in the Chicago
BARRIERS Local 54S are waging a stiff
fight against the proposed merging of
the union activities with those of the
Master BARRIERS Association.
The plan proposed by the Master
BARRIERS Association and the reaction
airy officials of Local 54S is a scheme
whereby the bosses may control the
opening of new barber shops in the
city. 1t is proposed that a committee
representing the boss and the Journey
men be empowered to pass upon all
applications for the opening of new
shops. The functions of this commit.
tee are also ito effect closer coopera-
ton between the journeymen and the
Bosses"
$3.50 Is Hot STUFF
According to agreement between the
officials of the union and the master
BARRIERS, all expenses of "organiza-
ton" should be paid on a $3.50 basis.
1t seems as il the officials of the
union have been rather reluctant in
coming across with the dough, be-
lieving no doubt that the money would
find safer repository in their own
pockets.
So If they can put thru such a
scheme, and all aspiring to barber
shop ownership be forced to pay $50
into the Golfers of the Master Bar.
bers, then it would be no longer ne.
cessary for the union officials to cough
up the money which by all divine
rights should go into their pockets.
The last meeting of the local wit.
messed quite a fight, and fearing that
the scheme would not be passed the
officials delayed the matter over TO the
next regular meeting.

Present at this meeting was a com!

interesting to note that George Kat.

the principal speech in behalf OF the
bosses. It will be remembered that
katsiolis is an ex-member Of the 10.
cal and was once the left wing leader
who fought most bitterly against the
officials he is now supporting. He
headed the left wing ticket in several
union elections, when failing to get
elected he decided to become boss

BARRIERS CLASS
COLLABORATION
MEETS REBUKE
Organize Workers, Not
Bosses, Says Left Wing

"A SJTOuB SLdUQ aSdluSJ CLASS CO1ldD-
grafton, too long a policy pursued by
the leadership Of the BARRIERS Union,
has been taken by the International
Progressive BARRIERS Committee, in
the following warning to the New
York BARRIERS of Local No. 90O 1t says:
In the recent conflicts between the
master BARRIERS and Local 900 of New
York we get clear, picture Of why the
J. B. l. U. of A. is not organized one
hundred per cent, In place Of the Local
Executive Board taking a militant
fighting stand with a program Of or
ganizing the journeymen for better
working conditions, higher wages,
short hours, they talk of organizing
the bosses, s4t.
Is 1t any wonder that thruout the
country less than rs per cent Of the
BARRIERS are organized? No soldier
would join an army whose generals
we're recruiting soldiers for the enem-
les ranks.
Amieable Relations.
They talk of establishing "amicable
relations" between the bosses and
journeymen. After the union has
helped to organize the bosses do you
think they will appreciate it so much
that they will do any thing that the
journeymen want them to? We
should say not. We have concrete
examples that prove the contrary.
They will use their organized might
to fight every move for the betterment
of conditions by the workers.
There can be no amicable relations
between the masters and the journey
men. With the boss it is simply
business proposition; If he can hire
us cheaper. that is good business.
With us journeymen it is a bread and
butter proposition. Our interests then
do not coincide; on the one hand the
boss wants to cut down expenses on
the other we want to get more bread
and butter, more of the necessities
and Injuries Of life.
Organize Workers--Not Bosses.
AhCh ~ 10 simply duCotAOu OA WIN
has the most power to gain their ends.
Every thing that aids in organizing
the journeymen is giving us more
power to gain our ends; and every
thing that helps to strengthen the
bosses defeats our end. Point (b) OF
the program in the circular issued by
the Executive Board of Local 800 says,
Organize the Master BARRIERS" This
Is wrong and dangerous program.
Do you know OF bosses who try to
organize journeymen?
The leadership of Local goo must
realize Its mistake and form new
program that will be in the interests
of the members. But IL the present
leadership goes blindly ahead with
their policy of organizing the enemy,
then the militant rank and file must
take hand in leading their union out
Of the hole.
Organize yourselves 100 per cent
and you need not bow to anyone for
petty favors.
Greater power TO local 900.
