Trade Union Reform Needed.

The writer in the Times of the articles entitled * The Ori&ii in British Industry/iv his tenth artioe Bays:-* The first of the series of conclusion! to which the present investigation into the condition of oar industries has led is that there is abundant need for what may be ctlled a trade-union re form movement-. In spite of all tbs abuses to which, as has been abund* antly shown, it has led, the essential principle of trade unionism is good, and is still capable of fulfilling • func tion useful not only to labour but to capital as well, 80 long as it ii con* ducted along wise and prudent lines; There are In existence trade unions of the old school against which not one word of reproach can be said ; and their members look with disgust on the tactics of the newer unions, with their coercive policy, their restriction of output, and their systematic inter i iWence with the individual rights both of men and of masters; As an illus tration of the older and more tolerant unions we may take the case of the London Union of Journeymen Basket* makers. The exact age of Uhb union is not known, but its record go back to 1315, co that it counts as one of the oldest in the country ; and, happily, is has never yet been brought ap to date. It has, accordingly, retained some old fashioned prejudices of which it it quite refreshing .to hear. There are, it is true, recognised 'society* houses in the trade, but the society hands would never think of raising any objection if the employer put on a non-society hand to work alongside of them. If they found, al the end of a week or so, that the new* comer was likely to stay the suggestion wonld be made to him in quite • friendly way, that he should join the society ; but if be did not care to do so he would hear no more of the matter, and would be left free to do as be pleased,

Had trade unions kept strictly legi timate purposes of this type no one could have offered a word of objectioa to them, Bat some years ago the Socialists, who had previously despised the trade unionists and refused to bare anything to do with them, thought that by capturing trade unionism they could advance their own propaganda, and since than they have made mire* mitting efforts in this direction. The Socialist leaders advised their member* to join the different unions, or the dif ferent branches, and, as these mem bers were accustomed to a vigorous type of oratory, they soon came to the front, and pushed tbt older and more easygoing trade unionists into the background. Then the men of the Utter type took to absenting themselves almost entirely r'roto their society meetings, and, though: they grumbled in tba shopt, they left the actual management of the unions partly to the Socialists, partly to the ne'er-do wells and the in dolent workers (who had a direct in terest in keeping down both the in* dividual output and the total number in the trade), and very largely ia the nands of the officials, between whom ■and the two classes referred to . there aoon grew up a community of interest.

It is mainly in these directiccß that the decadence of the British trade union as a useful inetitation has been brought about, and that the abases dealt with in these articles have crept in, So it is that unionists who really have the welfare of ,trade unionism a 6 heart should not be content merely with reproaching those who point oat these abases, bat should exert the«n* selves to secure the reform of the in* stitation whose well-being they have at heart.

A BROKEN TUMBLER AND ITS CONSEQUENCES; Fai Nai, Lower Hnfct, Septembor 3, 1901 DEAR Sir,—Possibly the abort account contained in ibfg btfer, in reference to the use of PLAKTEKOA OINTMENT, may be of interest to you. We had just removed from Blackbridge to the Nai Nai when my daughter E:hel had the misfortune to step on a broken tumbler, making a fearful gash, catting into the ball of the foot 3,nd laying open the big toe in two halvee. We had it attended to, but it seemad to be getting worse, when, about five days after iha accident, wo were advised to use PLAIS TKKOA. OINTMENT, being assured that PLA^TEKOA would soon heal it. At this time it was very bad, the foot swollen and hard, and the wound had an angry fiery appearance, and locked as if blood poisoning was setting in. However, we faithfully applied Plantekoa Ointment, and without going into details, sofihe to say that in a thort time the foot was healed, she was able to pub her boota on and attend school again. I would also like to state that I used Pisntekoa Ointment for my son, who had a gathering or access in the ea.r. He was home from work for some time with it and was in a bad stats. The discharge from the ear was of such a character that It would set up irritation on the Bide of the face, and the pain was very severe. In this case PJantekoa Ointment was success fully applied, and in a few daya my son resumed work. I cannot recommend Plantekoa Ointment too highly. Yours sincerely, Mrs Jane Swan. TMa wonderfal ointment ought to be In every home, not only to be there in case of accident or emergency, but for everyday purposes, its uses are legion. It is sold by all the leading storekeepers and chemists at 2s per large box, or sample boxes for sixpence, while to meet the demand for this ointment from farmers and others, for ase with horses and cattle, 1b has been placed on the market in half pound tins at 4s 6cL Unsurpassed for sore shoulders- girth galls, etc. Have yon tried PLANTEKOA, the Great Herbal Remedy for. the Blood NOTIOK TO FARMERS.
