" The paper was a bit uneven in appearance next morning, but when Patsy came down to breakfast she found both Uncle John and the major roaring with laughter over Hetty's locals.

It began in a jest, as do all the choicest tragedies of the gods,a few lines of idle badinage, meant to spice Solon's column of business locals with a readable sprightliness.

There was another mysterious paragraph, too, farther down the column of "locals," which proclaimed that "The immovable body has at last been struck by the irresistible force and has failed to live up to its reputation.

At the very edge of the platform sat the reporters, five of themthree locals and two all the way from London.

Scattered here and there in the cities of the Northwest were many locals of the Industrial Workers of the World.

Locals grinned from the sides.

The prices were good; the locals were cheerful; it was a good deal for everyone.

We actually find the International Union, which after 1867 by its constitution admitted women, being openly defied in this vital matter by some of its own largest city locals.

Besides those formed of workers in separate trades, such as shoe-workers, mill operatives, and garment-workers, there were locals, like the federal labor unions of today, in which those engaged in various occupations would unite together.

Some of the women's locals existed for a good many years, but a large proportion are recorded as having lapsed or suspended after one or two years.

Apart from the usual difficulties in holding women's organizations together, there is no doubt that many locals, both of men and of women, were organized far too hastily, without the members having the least understanding of the first principles of trade unionism, or indeed of any side of the industrial question.

Many locals formed with so much thought and after so much pains, drop to pieces after a few months or a year or two.

But besides aiding in the forming of new locals, the Women's Trade Union League can be a force strengthening the unions already established.

As an instance of this openly expressed approval, take the cordial coöperation which the Chicago League has ever received from the Chicago Federation of Labor and its allied locals.

Where the conditions of the trade permit it by far the best plan is to have the women organized in separate locals.

Those trade-union women who advocate mixed locals for every trade which embraces both men and women are of two types.

Some are mature, perhaps elderly women, who have been trade unionists all their lives, who have grown up in the same locals with men, who have in the long years passed through and left behind their period of probation and training, and to whose presence and active coöperation the men have become accustomed.
