He s a good, clean man, a perfect gentle man, who, while upholding the rights of laboring men, wins the confidence and ap- proval of the employers. As a legislator the Interests of labor would be safe in his hands, and I was pleased to see him nomi- nated for the office.” W. H. Bell, business manager of the | Painters' unfon: “I have known Fred M | Youngs for a long time, and, although 1 am not a republican, have no reason to take back what I sald about him while bo was a candidate for president of the Pressmen’s International union.” At that time Mr. Bell wrote: “I am rellably informed that my friend, townsman and fellow unionist, Fred M. Youngs, hus flung b banner to the breeze and declared him- sclf a candidate fcr the presidency of the In. ternational Printing Pressmen and Assist- avts' unfon. This is indeed cheering news, |and I congratulate the members of your noble organization upon the opportunity thus afforded to elect one of the best men in the labor movement to this responsible | position. The writer has known Mr Youngs long and intimately; as a cltizen be enjoys the confidence and respect of all who know him; his standing with the Lusi- ness and professional fraternity of this vicinity 13 of the highest character; In the {1ocal labor movement he 1s without a p |as a member of his home union, as a d | gate to the Central Labor union of this city for many years, as the president of the latter body, and, as a director, representing abor on the directory of the Transmis sippl and International Exposition, Lo discharged every duty with honor and fidelity, with patience and courage, with lconservative wisdom and warked ability. He never plays to the ‘grandstand,’ mor can he be | swerved from the path of duty by the nolsy }Hnmur of friend or foe, unflinching ana | rigia application of | rutes finds them, vet kindly and withal in his dealings with who are ever prone to malign and criticise. Mr. Youngs is essentially a safe {man as a leader of labor. He is not a ‘Ahn.\-r of ‘ralnbows;’ not addicted to the encouragement of the radical ‘isms’ that all too frequently chase themselves in end- less varlety, though, or rather athwart the visfons of the so-called leaders, He fills any position he occuples with unos tentatiou nity, and for himself and his clientage in full measure the same | respect he accords to others. He can be trusted to probe everything to the bottom | that comes before him, and when a con- | clusion 1s arrived at, it can be depended upon that the decislon will be based on what is right and not what Is popular.’ | Fraok A.
