Because the rule is arbitrary and violative of a gre at principle of right in preventing boys from ob’ ning emplovinent by which they may earn an honest livelihood in youth and prepare themselves for usefulness in manhood. 2. Becanse the spirit of monopoly pervades the rule, and monopoly being the worst enenry of the workingman, his vital interests dictate that his best efforts be directed to its destruction in whatever shape it may appear. Becease it is suppressive of American genius, and obstructs the development of me- chanical ability by closing to the rising genera- tion the avenues of @ractical knowledge, thus erecting a barrier wMich it is tyranny to create and & positive ee continue. 4, Because the rule does more harm than good, the injury to the boys not being counterbalanced by benefit te the men. works, and twenty per cent. having been de- 5.

Because the enforcement of the law is vir- tually a failure, and the results of its operation do not justify its continuance. 7, Because its provisions have been assaulted and impaired by legislation in direct violation of the spirit and letter thereof, and also by the nt merous subterfuges of-parties affected there- by, as is shown by the fact that most of the offices within the jurisdiction of the Union have ppl ai in excess ot the aumber allowed by the rule. 8. Beeause it was originally adopted as a de- fensive movement mst the aggressions of anprincipled employers at a time when such defense was believed to be justifiable, but the neccsaity for its continuance does not now exist. 9. Because its enforcement is fraught with bates and difficulty, and a contest thereon would be unpopular and disastrous to the in- terests of the craft in its results. In conclusion I would suggest that the inden- tured aj patie See: or incor ond 04 system by which the interests o} apprentice and employer would be better scouted” than at present, should be adopted by the employing al of abuse vernment service which may be referred to it—was then taken up.
