LWAYS raise your hat when ad- dressing an employe. He is as good as you are, and probably thinks he is a great deal better. Never criticise a man’s work, however poor. It is an insult to the union, which was organized by and for the poor workman, and besides it might hurt his feelings. Encourage your men to play pinochle and checkers during work- ing hours. It helps them drive dull care away and promotes good fellowship. This is especially important on au operation where different trades are employed, as it leads to a better acquaintance among the men, and they will hold together longer on a sym- pathetic strike. Keep a keg of beer in a convenient place on all jobs. You will find the men appreciative. If any get balloons on send them home in eabs.

A nice reading-room, a poolroom and a bowling alley would be splendid, but no sensible workingman would expect you to make such provisions for his comfort and amusement.

Never take your own head. That would be fatal. In all cases remember that you are only the man who gives the laborers employment and pays them—who enables them, in short, to make a living for themselves and their families. They are the people who, if they feel like it, do the work that you supply and take your money, They are doing you a favor, and you should never forget the obligations y polite, unassuming and subservien > are under to then befits your position.
