We knew these people would
be highly critical of the costumes,

To overcome these difficulties we
secured the services of men who
were a part of that age and who
take pride in having been
part of it.
with their assistance we have
given as correct a history as
possible though we found many
minor details on which no two

from what ten out of ten

TRIBUTE TO REAL UNION

The company union is in fact a
very genuine tribute to the effective
ness of the real trade union. 1t is
recognition of the principle that there
is need for an agency through which
the will and the experience of wage
earners can have an influence in the
determination of issues affecting
wage earners. But some employers
want the constructive advantages of
collective action without what they
consider it's drawbacks. Drawbacks
to them consist in that power and
resourcefulness that enable the
unions to secure for the ideas of the
workers that consideration which is
rightfully theirs.
Certain employers object to the
presentation of views except those
which sustain their advantages. En-
ployers of this type resent the trade
union because it functions independ-
emily of their control. Trade unions
by federation create an organization
paralleling the industry and hence
have power comparable to that of the
employer. Their special experts have
knowledge of the whole industry as
we'll as the technique of collective
bargaining.
The company union or whatever
name is given the representation plan
provided by the company, exists by
the desire of the employer. Certain
employers claim that the company
union makes possible cooperation be-
tween management and workers in
production problems. Such co-opera-
ton with unions they claim is impos-
sible because, as they say, unions are
organized for militant purposes only.
There is no justification for this de-

THE PEOPLE VOICE THEIR
SENTIMENTS

The election has come and gone and
Hamilton citizens can once more set
tie back into their regular routine of
everyday life. The outstanding feat
ure of the election was the manner
in which the voters declared them
selves on the gas question. In no un-
certain manner did they declare them
selves in favor of artificial gas. This
despite all the propaganda in favor
Of natural gas and the preaching of
the two daily newspapers that the
Columbia Gas Supply Company con-
tract, awarded by council, is good
thing for Hamilton.
The Press has contended all along
that the people should be given the
privilege to select for themselves the
kind of gas they preferred, whether
they be right or wrong, since they
were the ones to pay the bill, and
after viewing the results of the vote
the Press feels now that it was justi-
fed in it's stand.
The Press contended throughout the
campaign that the people would re-
sent anyone jamming down their
throats something, whether they liked
it or not, and there is no question
whatever that the action of council in
rushing through the contract to the
Columbia Company in the manner in
which they did, did much to arouse

the organizations. Sometimes cases
are presented that make enforcement
of such rule delicate matter, but
if the organizations are to carry out
the purpose for which they are Great
ed it is absolutely necessary that
laws of this character be enacted and
observed. Otherwise the record Of at
tendance at meetings will be poor,
and there can be no disputing the
fact that the larger the attendance at
meetings the more active will be the
union and greater will be the results
produced in the shape Of betterments.
An organization in which every mem
ber is interested enough to attend
meetings will very rarely be found in
the list of failures. 1t is the organi-
cation which is unable to get the rank
and file of its membership to attend
meetings which usually goes astray
and lands IN the pit of failure.
Anything that will tend to bring
out the membership should be adopt
ed, and anything that operates in the
slightest degree to keep members
away should be wiped out. And there
can be no doubt that the policy Of
panhandling at meetings does tend to
cause members to remain away. Some
other method must be found to care
for needy members, because the PAN
handling scheme has times without
number been demonstrated to be hurt
full to the organization that permits

INFLUENCE OF LABOR PRESS

The influence of the labor press is
not confined to organized workers. 1t
affects the views and judgments of the
entire people. Leaders of industry
are more and more interesting them
selves in what labor newspapers have
to say. They realize that the better
they understand the workers view
point the easier it will be for them
to appreciate the workers needs.
With many questions vitality concern
ing the public and the workers in a
state Of suspension, it is incumbent
now more than ever for the labor
papers to enlighten not alone the la
Dor class but business men who are
sincerely seeking information which
will help him overcome obstacles.
