Government Unions

LIVERY government employe
- owes it to himself to belong
to some union, but must, on the
other hand, concede some recog-
nized weakness of government
unions.
Individual unions are some
times weakened, and set back
years, because of improper and
insincere leadership. Some
leaders loose sight Of the pur-
poses they are to lead for and
substitute personal gain, not
realizing that eventually their
ambitions will catch up with
them. The joys of achievement
for the sake Of the union has
no appeal to them for greed has
caught victim. The inevitable
results are disSenSion and
possible disbandment of unions
so affected.
"Class distinction" runs close

proper unionisrn.
It is hardly necessary to say
there are too many unions;
proof Of this is in their individ-
ual weakness. If some Of the
government unions that are ex-
isting today continue their
present course they can only
find the way hard.
Added to the difficulties of
government unions are the
reluctant administrators of de-
partment, who feel movements
