Show AND STEIKE3. The , Magailne of th International Brotherhood of Teamsters has th following fol-lowing to say on the Question of strike: "A great many members of th International Inter-national Brotherhood of Teamsters and other unions think that labor Is organised or-ganised for i the purpose of striking on the least provocation- This Idea often leads some men to be careless In their ' work and disrespectful to their employer. em-ployer. j j "They are of the mind that their unions will back them up and order a strike when they ret Into trouble through their carelessness. They never know their mistake until they get Into trouble. Then they find out that th union la organised to better their condition condi-tion and not to give them license to run things to suit themselves. "The power on part of unions to prevent pre-vent strikes Increase with the strength of the unions. One of the most pleasing , .features in unionism is that the most powerful organizations show the least . inclination to strike. Where the power - to do evil Is the greatest, the will to use that power ts the least. "Toe Brotherhood does not pretend to prevent strikes at all times, but will not order one until all other efforts to . secure a settlement in times of trouble fall. No strike will ever be ordered by the Teamsters' union on the Instigation of any Individual, or local union, unless .good grounds for such a strike r shown." |
