Canada has not been wit-bout licr llabor troubles, but. lins been more fortunate than other countries in the minimum of agitation and un- rest creators. This ls largely due to the rank and file of the indus- trial classes whose influence and good counsel has had a sobering eircct upon their more radlcul load- ers. We have also had the ad- vsntsge of considerable of com~ mun sense and public spirit in quite a number of the loaders of our la- bor orgnnizamlons. rt is due to these influences that organized la- bor responded lo the popular ob- DcCLiOII to the One Big Union and made that project practically im- possible in (lanadn.

The policy of moderation has been adopted as their official determin- ation, and progressive application "of their energies to mutual bone- f-its will surely meet with wcll dc- served approval.
