The Rules of Unions.

In order that an Association may be carried on with unity of purpose and harmony of action, its organisation and government must be firm and wise. All such Societies being free to exist, have the further right to adopt such rules and organisation as may best conduce to the attainment of their objects. We do not deem it possible to enter into definite details on the subject of organisation : this must depend on national character, on practice and experience, on the nature and scope of the work to be done, on the magnitude of the various trades and employments, and on other circumstances of fact and of time — all of which must be carefully weighed.
