for higher wages on Monday. Dur-1
ing the dull season the boss skinners
cut wages down to the bare living
level, expecting the workers to com
pete In cut-throat fashion for the work
that is to be done. When the season
begins it is necessary to make a strike
to set wages back to a fairly decent
level again. Everybody walks out,
union and non-union alike, and the
skinners dicker, beg and bluff to cause
a break among the workers, and the
weaker among the latter, having no
funds to support them in the unequal
contest while the bosses live on the
fat of the land, break ranks and the
strike is off again for the season, and
the skin game is played for another
six months. Detroit Advocate.

he is a union man.
More and better organization means
more and better labor papers, and a

heir to and a better opportunity to
relegate to the rear those who are re
sponsible for those ills. Mr. Union
