ut he would not be4 comforted. He
took no pleasure sven . In the thought
that there ware the "locals" of several
trades unions in 'the town. , Trades un

he 'aald. very different things, Trades
unionists ; were, h said,, the "aristo
crats"; of labor. Ther were exclualve.
The federation was based on' the broth
erhood of man. It made no distinc
tions of races or color. : It had no ob
jection to the "open shop." It did not
limit the number of apprentices. It
took In workers of-every kUid. Its en
trance fee was only, $5 and Ita sub:
scrlption only, II a month. It did not
desnjsa the unskilled laborer as trades
unions did; ft - bold out the hand of
brotherhood to him. It did sven more
than .that. . It stood for the unskilled
men, getting ; as good a wage as the
skilled man, and why should it not?
The cost of living waa the same for
both. ; He proved to me very clearly by
the earnestness and fervor of y his
speech that he : was convinoed of the
extreme righteousness of his own views.
The federation stood to him for truth,
for equity, for the uplift of humanity.
