When asked if be seriously believed that war was inevitable,

We are extremely glad to learn of the formation last

man to work in freedom. The objects of the Society were defined in the following words :—

" To maintain the principles of personal liberty and personal responsibility ; especially to protect by every means in its power the rights of individual members to live and work in freedom so long as they do nothing to interfere with the enjoyment of a like freedom by all others—and to provide members with legal assist- ance in cases of injury by accident ; if molested when in the exercise of their right to work; and in cases of trouble or diffi- culty arising in connexion with their employment."

The principles of the Society do not conflict with trade unionism as such; they merely offer resistance to the mon- strous tyranny of certain forms of picketing and intimidation.
