Union discipline is a fierce thing.

The rank and file are not taken into the confidence of the leaders.

Policies are decided upon in the secret councils of the Great Ones and handed down to us to adopt.

Of course, it is open to any man to criticise, and I am bound to say that the rankers exercise that privilege with considerable zest.

All the same, however, it is difficult to overturn an administration, hard to upset established order.
