A “Pat on the Back” for the Chamber and a * real expression of appreciation for the work they are. doing, have done, and will be doing in the future. HOW RICH IS LABOR? Few people nowadays question the fact that or- ganized labor, thanks to such devices as, the check- off and the closed shop, has accumulated Vast finan- cial resources. . A recent National Industrial Conference Board study reveals that 194 national and international unions, with headquarters in the United States, collect .- in union dues the staggering sum of $457 million a | year. Individual unions and union locals, however, are * yequired to turn ‘over $228 million: per year to the national’ or international union headquarters, Once union per capita ‘taxes’ have’ been turned “over to the bureaucracy of Big Labor, rank-and-file "union members and union locals ‘no longer have any control over how it is used. Yet organized labor’s ac- - cumulated wealth .affords the Labor Bosses unique "power over the membership, for the locals are’ thus made dependent for financial support upon national or international headquarters in. times of strikes or irfdustrial unrest. Canadian warkers .who are subjected to a per capita ‘tax’ by international unions with headquar- ters in the United States have even less opportunity than rank-and-file union members south of the bor- - ders to ascertain how their money is spent. | by an interesting sacrifice, . Pris- oners of war (and others) were placed in wicker cages hung in the sacred oaks, and set on fire.

He saved the two who were with him in the kitchen but the other two were trapped upstairs. When the fire- men came, they saw the children at the window but by the time they got there, the children had run away in fright, and the win- dows, the pretty, small windows so much admired ir. the’ neigh- borhood, would not admit a man's body. And so the children died, as they have died else- where everyday since. A_ bitter harvest, reaped from the. seeds indifference and their ils, thus ens! their | of future toward the Britons, Modern Canadians have great- ly improved and elaborated: these crude beginnings. They put their own children alone in wooden houses complete with hot stoves or defective wiring and then go away to leave these ‘elaborate incendiaries to burst into flame. Not only are the death agonies of the small victims more spec- tacular than those earlier sacri- fices, but every edition of the daily papers announces some new victims with extrordinary number of votaries - taking part im the recent days. Surely. the gods must beam. with pleasure at such devotions. I had a friend once, whose face and hands were one livid burn sear.
