UNIONISM
THE
FUNDAMENTAL
PRINCIPLE
OF
EFFICIENCY.
AM
a
firm
believer
in
unions,
as
they tend
to
improve
the
condition
of their
members
financially
as
well
as
socially,
and
insure
to
pro-
prietors
employing-
members
thereof
compe-
tent
and
reputable
men.
My
personal
connection
with
the
Bartend-
ers'
Union
for
a
number
of
years
has
con-
vinced
me
of
the
utility
of
organizations
of
that
nature,
and
since
1889,
when
I
proposed
forming
a
local
union
in
Worcester,
Mass.,
and
in
which
the
outlook
was
very
auspicious
until
after
the
election,
which
resulted
in
no
license,
I
have
been
a
strong
adherent
to
the
cause.
Our
Union
has
been
the
means
of
elevating
the
bartender
to
the
same
social
standing
as
men
in
other
professions
whom
necessity
requires
to
earn
their
living.
