without organized
labor
it won’t be much
benefit
to the
poor
peo-
ple who will have
labored to
mature
it.
At present
we have three
divisions
of
laborers
viz:
St.
Croix
YLabor
Union
members,
members
of the Federation
of
Labour
and Non
Union
members.
Thus
we
have
three
divisions,
nore
uniting
with the other.
With such
state
of af-
fairs nothing
better
could
be
expecred.
If labor leacers
will do
less
agitaling
and
teach
the
people
to
know
what
is
unity the place
will
be much
tetter
off.
The
people
are
now
so
accustomed
to
avitating
that
if
their
leaders
do
not
zbuse
the planters
he is not
a good leader.
It ix very regrettable
that
both orvaniza-
tions can’t
come together
and unite
ard
get
non
union
members
to
join either
one;
for
with
the
three
to
four
years
bad
weather
both the planter
and
laborer
have
suffcred,
and
now if the
planter
is
going
to reap
a good crop
thie
po®® labor-
er should
come
in lor his share
also.
Many people
do
not rake in
considera
tion that if the laborer
gets higher wages
every
other employee
will also
get
more
money.
Thus
we
see
the old
saying
is
true that—""United
