ment based upon the plan of old

low. Only members in good
standing are eligible for partici-
patton in the benefit plan.

Now Is the Time

Unorganized workers should
ioin the unions in their respec-
tive trades and occupations.
They should insist upon their
rights as free men and women
to participate in the determina-
ton of the conditions under
which they live and work. This
they can do now with greater
hope of success than ever before
in the history of America, with
out stoppage of work except
where the employer is of such
an arbitrary character that all
public sympathy will run against
him.-Executive Board, Illinois
