his prescription was first placed on

Confectionery Workers international Union of America

The membership of the Bakery and
Confectionery Workers international
Union of America-during the past
az years of our existence-have been
compelled to go through various bit
ter and often quite serious struggles.
The bound volumes of our Bakers
Journal" kept at our general office
ever since the first volume was COM
pleted, prove that this publication has
rendered our organization an inn
measurable service as a valuable in
strument of defense, encouragement
and education. These volumes are
the historic documents of the tre-
mendous efforts which were required
to awaken the workers of the baking
industry to the realization of their
organized strength by means of
which they have been elevated from
deplorably low wages and miserably
working and living conditions to a
higher level of human existence.
From the time of the worst under
ground cellar bake shops" up to the
present highly developed mechanical
and factory system which has taken
on forms of which-years ago-we
never dared to dream, our interna-
tional union has faithfully fulfilled its
duties in the interests of the bakery
workers and other toilers and through
our official mouthpiece the principle
of trade unionism on the basis of the
economic struggle for the emancipa-
tion from the chains and chattels of
most oppressive exploitation have
been consistently expounded.
Not single black mark obseures
the history of our trade union organi-
