Get your union out of your pocket and plant the seeds of or- i
ganization in the minds of the workers you meet going to and from '
work on the job or wherever you come in contact with them. I
You will find time invested in this way bringing you dividends
both pleasing and beneficial.
What transpires in the meeting of a union is the business of J
the members. It is not to be hawked abou the streets and shouted !
in public places. There is nothing’to be gained by this. ! ■
Perfect accord and co-operation must prevail in the labor move-
ment and upon the economic field of endeavor if we are to obtain
the best and really worth-while results. This is as true in our trade
unions as it is with any given piece of machinery. A locomotive can
not work to capacity if any part of its integral make-up is out of
order and not functioning properly. The same is true of all other
machines.
A locomotive to work properly and to capacity must have the
attention and co-operation of the engineer, the fireman, the conduc- i
tor, and the train dispatcher. Unless all these elements and forces •
co-ordinate and work in harmony the wonderful constructed and 1
powerful locomotive becomes impotent and often dangerous.
The foregoing principles are applicable and just as necessary
gaged therein. I he employer can not get along without labor, and EAAAKK«K-«*KK--an---«MM-AAMRAKKAMKAAMKA«NKKNAA5

does not give good returns unless something worth while is put into
it. The trade union movement can accomplishe but very little for
men who look upon it as something which entitles them to get all
they can out of it without putting anything back in return. The
successful local unions in any organization are always those who are
continually putting something into their organization, something
more than dues, for dues of themselves can accomplish but little.
There is no royal road to success. There is no political, indus-
trial, or social system which will give something for nothing. We
can’t eat our cake and keep it; we can’t get something from the
trade union movement unless we put something back in return.
The more energy and interest which members put into their local
trade union movement, the more prosperous it will be and the bet-
ter conditions' it will establish for its members. Successful trade
union results, like good crops, require a continual fertilizing of the
soil.

Communities grow in proportion to the support given them by
their residents. You cannot boost Galveston by trading elsewhere
or placing business in other localities that could be placed at home.
Folks who try to save pennies oftentimes lose dollars. The
home merchant is generally honest and offers honest values for
your money. He can’t affofd to be otherwise. He depends for his
living from the community nd must give the community what it
wants at a fair price.
When you are tempted to trade outside and purchase “just as
good merchandise at greatly reduced prices,” you should think
twice before buying. If you are “stung” by your home merchant
he will not doubt be glad to make an adjustment. The out-of-town
merchant is not personally interested in you. He is intent on sell-
ing you this once and probably does not expect to sell you again.
He does not have to take great care in preserving your good will.
More than owing it to your community to trade at home, thus
keeping your money at home, you should give the home merchant
first opportunity to serve you, from a sound economic standpoint.

Many well intentioned unionists keep their union in their pock- i
ets. , । ]
That is they feel that so long as the dues book in their pocket ' J
registers the facts that their dues are paid, and they are in good 1
standing everything is well in the world of organized labor.
That it is better to have a paid up union card in your pocket !
than not to have any is beyond question. But it remains true that ]
your union will not grow in your pocket.
The fellow sitting or standing next to you on the street car go- '!
ing to work or coming home may never learn from you if you keep [
your union in your pocket eiher the advantages- or necessity of or- 1
ganization. .
It is not contended or advocated that it would be desirable for !
a unionist to bring out his union card and hold it up to the view of ;
passengers on a crowded street car. Yet even that is more to be
commended than keeping your uinon in your pocket and never say-
ing anything about it to anyone.
People belonging to fraternal organizations are boosters for '
them. They talk about them continuously. They emphasize their
good points at every opportunity. ;

elements that go to make up the whole is not in accord friction de- •

SUCCESSFUL TRADE UNIONISM MEANS
CONTINUOUS WORK.
By John P. Frey, Editor, International Molders’ Journal.
The story is.told of two farmers owning adjoining farms. As
the years went by, one of them harvested larger and much 1‛ ore
profitable crops than the other. The less successful one spent 1uch
of his time finding fault with the weather, the political party in
power, Wall Street, and evervbody in general, lie 'believed that
only fools became farmers, and also that his neighhor had purchas-
ed fertile soil, whereas the land on his own farm was poor and val-
ueless. If he only had the soil which his neighbor owned, then he
might be able to accumulate money instead of continually paying
interest on a mortgage.
The difference between the methods of the two men was that
the unsuccessful one took everything he could out of the soil with-
out putting something back in return. He was unwilling to go to
the expense and the labor of putting fertilizers into the soil. He
was trying to get all that he could out of his land and put nothing
into it.
We find the same condition which existed between these two
farmers among trade unions, the members of some continually com-
plain that their organization is no good; that it does nothing for
them; they blame their officers; they feel that their constitution is
unsatisfactory, and that the general policy of the organization is
all wrong- They see other local unions securing higher wages, bet-
ter shop conditions and establishing more friendly relations with
employers. They do not credit these more successful unions with
having established these conditions through their own efforts and
‘ good judgment, but imagine that they were merely more fortunate,
every thoughtful man and woman must realize that co-operation 5
and harmony in which labor has its own proper say are conducive 2

But there are a great many things to be gained by members of 5
organized labor whenever the opportunity affords by impressing on : 5
. those they meet the things in general that organized labor has ac-1 5
complished for the workers. I 5
It is just as easy to tell about the benefits of unionism as S
to hold forth on the pleasantness or disagreeableness of the weather. 1 5
Get your union out of your pocket. Think about it and talk ‛ 2"
about it- And you will find that the seeds of conversation you sow 5
in many instances will result in bringing into the fold of organiza- 5
tion those with whom you have conversed. | S
Every person •brought into the union is assisting you to better g"
wages and conditions. Every person remaining unaffiliated is help-
ing the employer to lower wages and make conditions more irksome. ' 5
