The tailors' strike in King- ston went to show that the Interna- tional movement was the only to take care of any craft, in time of trouble. No person had been a better friend of Canada and he had on several occasions deavored to have the American Feder- ation meet in Canada, and had ceeded in getting that body to meet in Toronto, in 1909.

However, this ila ith TE eg 1 iF ii 7 5 § ¥3 the politician. The work of the miners in the States was referred to. The men wereff now receiving over double the wages they were given fifteen years ago, a nd were Nowadays they could do this, live in a better house, attend the theatre oc- cassionally, and once in a while. There was a great deal of talk about the "open" and cven take a holiday "closed" shop. The speaker comsider- ed that these were wrong terms to be used. The shops were all "open," as it devolved upon the union, to get the members. . Trade unions had accomplished a great deal. For instance, children had been taken out of shops and placed in the playground. This work had not been done by the church, or any fra- ternal societies. No effort was made by religious bodies to have the wages of the women made the same as men, in some classes of work. The govern- ment in Canada had not even taken up the matter. - The work of the trade union was also a moral and religious movement, and would, in time, be recognized as such. In his closing remarks, Mr. Lennon reviewed the situation in the tailors' strike, stating that in the last seven years they had asked for no increase in wages, and were now asking for an increase of ten per cent. "And they are going to have it," he said. "Upon the success of the tailors' strike de- pended the success of other unions." At the close of Mr. Lennon's ad- dress, William Dunlop moved that he be tendered a vote of thanks for his excellent discourse, and this motion was carried by a unanimous vote. Mr. Robinson then spoke briefly. He said that everyone would agree that a great mistake had been made in that the tailors had not asked for a change in the wage scale during the Every two years a change was expected in prices. The was more of ne was not the first strike in Kingston. The speaker reviewed the work of the trade unions, stating that that body had more placed upon the sta- [grea tute book than any of the religious, fraternal or social bodies combined. He also referred to the appointment of an alien labor officer, brought about by the trade unions. There was need of organized labor, he con- tended; to show that they would not be "hoodwinked" by "scheming politi- ciad®,"" as he termed them. The Labor party was now placing candidates in the field for municipal honors. The party had ceased to beg: they would now demand. They would first sce that they were in the right, and then go ahead. They would de- mand that their rights be granted. Mr. Robinson said that there ap- peared to be a feeling on the part of some, of the merchant tailors that an organizer came to a city at the time of a strike to stir up trouble-- to build a gulf between the employer and the employee. He wished to most emphatically deny this. The work of the organizer was to endeavor to bhet- ter the situation between the em- ployer and the employee. The speaker, in his closing re- marks, stated that he believed that peace would very soon aga reign supreme between the striking tailors and their employers. After Mr. Robinson resumed his seat James Lee moved the folldwing résolution, which was carried by a standing vote : "Resolved, that this mass meeting assembled, do hereby protest against the maximum fine imposed by Magis- trate Farrell on the two persons be- fore him on the charge of intimida- tion, and consider it an outrageous insult to organized labor, and be it further resolved, that this meeting petition the Trades and Labor coun- cil to take the matter up by petition- ing the attorney-general's department for the dismissal of the said magis- trate." After the passing of this resolution the meeting adjourned, and after- wards Mr. Lennon was tendered a banquet at the Windsor hotel by the members of the tailors' union. Indigestion Then These.
