 has often been said that where ignorance predomnates 1t folly be wise This is phrase of sarcasm for cer- tainly it is not permit ignorant people to go unmo- tested their merry way of crczng that winch they oo not understand Too many times the Free Trade Union Movement been criticized because of the ignorance or those to the true principles and phosophy or the Free Trade Union Movement We all believe ln com pusory educaton and educated people generally weigh the entire situation making statements unless they preudiced because of narrowmndedness Yes the labor has been of the leaders in the light for com pusory education for have learned that when people be- come educated exploitation decreases and believe that when find talking against the principle because their ignorance should not walk away and merely say where ignorance predominates it is folly to be wise The opposite is the truth We should do everything n our pow explain the philosophy of the Free Trade Unlon ove ment that they may not destroy the thing that they would fight protect if they understood all of the things we stand for Of course there those who do not want to know the old saying goes, Thereare blind they who do not wish to but must never patience desire to bring about better of life for all of the people.
 Recently in attending lodge meetings asked the ques- membership to how many had sent letters to their Representatives and Congressmen relative to the sage of the Kgore It astoundngy surprising to learn how people taken interest in that
 important piece of legislation yet those who do nothing to it's will be the who will shout to the high heavens, "Why didn't somebody do something about t?"-f the Bill should die in Congress- You rest as sured that every employer In the country doing thing in his power to it that the Klgore does pass at least in it's present form because has a ways been the employers desire to hold down. They that if unemployed workers out of work through fault of their given adequate unemployment pensation that they live respectable lives during sby short reconverson period that workers would not be quick to accept any kind of job the employer has to offer with any kind of the employer wishes to They know that adequate unemployment compensation will give the worker that degree of security when poyed and that he will be able to retain his respect and not take obs thereby breaking down the scale to the aggrandizement of the selfish interests
 do not believe there is working in the United States who is opposed to Social Security through unempoy ment compensation and old compensation yet there few who understand the importance of advising their ants in Washington their Congressmen and Representatives what they desire in the way of protective legislation in the interest of the workers.

He knows that he is elected by the working class of people and it becomes the duty of people to notify their Con- gressmen and Senators of their attitude with respect legislation pending before Congress Yes there is need for education among the working and of this try what the Free Trade Union Movement stands for for have met many worker who has been opposed to Labor Unions simply because he did not know what they stood for because of what he had read the hostile only to find that when he joined Labor Union and learned what all about he became of most active bers
 It becomes the duty of every Union and woman to disseminate among his fellow workers and his nehbors the importance of joining hands with those who trying to help him to better way of e It not only is your duty
