A Good Reason

"Why is it," Southern friend OF
mine asked his colored servant, that
so few colored men commit suicide =
"Well, suh," the colored man re-
piled, "when you white folks has got
troubles, you sit down and think them
over, and the more you think aDout
them the wusser they get, till at last
YOU jes' can't stand it no longer ana
YOU 90 to work and kill yo'self. But
With us colored people, when we've
got troubles we sit down and think
them over, and we think and think,
boss, and you know what happens
when a colored man sits down ana
tries to think. He jes' naturally falls
asleep"
Wear union-made goods.

Get Busy Study
Your Union Laws

We have several times urged. in
these columns that members of Or
ganized Labor should study the con-
stitution of their union so that thev
might have "a more comprehensive
knowledge of the construction and op-
Grafton Of their union.
We have urged this study upon all
! members because we have realized
that many of the local complications
/ that sometimes cause trouble are due
to things being started wrong be-
cause OF lack of knowledge of con-
stltutlonal law and procedure.
The advice to all members to study
and follow your constitution is again
urged upon you. We are informed of
cases where presiding officers of local
unions have had no other KNOWLEDGE
OF the constitution except the ritual
or order of business which he was
compelled to read but made no effort
to memorize.
1t is a regrettable fact that manv
a factional dispute has started
through lack of understanding union
law; After such a disagreement is
well under way, there comes a time
when decision is rendered as to
winch side was right. Then the los
ing side is bitter and hates to submit
ana so perhaps split occurs, and ali
because of lack of knowledee of the
constitutional provisions.
we wish eevry member would real
lze that the union is, next to family
the most important thing in this life.
IL is more important than fraternal
orders because it assists you to get
the means whereby you can join the
orders.
1t is more important than pleasures
or recreations because it enables Won
to have those enjoyments.
In your family life the union is inn
portant because it helps you to sun
port your family, to educate your
children, and to give your family some
OF the luxuries as well as some of the
comforts of life.
In your religious life the union
helps You to support your church,
helps you to live less selfishly. and
to fit yourself for the life beyond
If you will come to a proper ap-
probation of the Importance of the
union in your life, you will then ap-
preciate that you ought to know the
union better; that you can not take
out the full measure of benefits un-
less you put in strength and loyalty;
and that you can not work intelli-
gently for the union unless you know
its constitution and laws.
To build an addition on to a house
requires some knowledges as to how
the house was built. To add intelli-
gently your effort to the upbuilding
requires that you shall have some
knowledge of how the union is built.
This you can gain by studying your
constitution.
And, when you do know your con-
stitution, the next thing is to follow
it. You can not follow it unless you
know it, and if you do know it, you
will want to follow it.

Although France will be asked 10

One of the principal bitches is how
much France shall pay at the outset
Mr.. Berengcr proposed initial paw

higher first payments.
The commission hopes to work out
an agreement on trading basis with

The American Debt Commission has
expressed itself firmly against this
and Ambassador Berenger is not cx.
