WHAT KIND OF A UNION MAN ARE YOU?

Grey River Argus, 20 August 1942, Page 7

WHAT KIND OF A UNION MAN ARE YOU?

Bricks joined by mortar build us a wall,

But bricks by themselves are nothing at all,

Links well forged may preserve any chain,

But one weak link may destroy any gain.

The wall's been built for our protection—

Are you a firm brick or a loose connection?

Are you keeping the chain free from rust,

Or only beginning because you must?

Are you living and thinking the Union way,

Or letting the walls fall into decay?

Snap into it, .Brother, and do your part !

Be a Union man from your skin to your heart !

—E. I. Baker, in “The Federation News”, Chicag’o, U.S.A.
