It was a long name, and we liked every word in it.

We felt the glow of brotherhood, and as I said before, we used to share our jobs with the brother who was out of work.
The union paid a weekly benefit to men who had to strike for better working conditions.

At that time there were no death benefits nor any fund to educate the children of members killed in the mills.

When such a death happened, the union appointed a committee to stand at the office window on pay-day and ask every man to contribute something from his wages.

There is a charitable spirit among men who labor together and they always gave freely to any fund for the widow and orphans.
