NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS. The new year is here! What has it in store for you? We hope for everything that's good of course but, looking back at the years that have literally flown by, what have you been able to lay aside for the maintenace of yourself and dear ones? No doubt everyone that reads this has at the beginning of past years resolved to save for old age days when mankind no longer can use him for profit. But it's the same old story-old High Cost of Living got it all. It's sad, but, nevertheless, true. About 85 per cent of the members of the Brotherhood after having become incapacitated from old age or other disabilitics find themselves objects of charity, scattered to the four winds of the universe, inmates of asylums and poor houses. A disgrace, you say? Listen, brothers, there is no actual necessity for this, when there is such an easy way to provide against it. The proposed pension and aged painters' home is the golden opportunity within our reach to fortify ourselves against adversity. The best resolution that we can make for the New Year is one wherein we will resolve to get behind this movement and push it through to a successful reality. Let all local unions throughout our Brotherhood endorse the proposition, appoint committees, be active, wide awake, and heart interested, and ere long we can point with pride to a real home of the Brotherhood. Let's elect to the next convention delegates pledged to support such a resolution if presented. Ways and means are an after consideration. The paramount question now is "Do you want a home?" If so, endorse the movement. Notify the aged painters' home and pension committee of Local Union 935, Tulsa, Okla., who are acting as a clearing house for the movement. Best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year. GEO. A. MICHAIEL, NEAL GALBREATII. Members: Local 424 Little Rock, Ark. J. W. MCNALLY, Pres. STEER CLEAR OF TEXAS. The Chambers of Commerce and the Employers' Associations of the State of Texas are taking concerted action to destroy union conditions and revert to the open shop. They have declared war in the cities of Beaumont, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio and state that they intend to extend the fight all over the State. Whole pages of the local newspapers are being used to prejudice public opinion against organized labor and intimidation and coercion are being exercised upon employers who use union men.
