for your services we remember you.
As President of the Greater London Council, I have had the opportunity of visiting Associations in the four points of London North, South, West and East. I find them all working in unity, and in no case have I met any dissension from the one idea: the growth of the Federation movement. This is remarkable when you consider the disadvantages which the private trader is up against. it is allied to the English custom of sound constitution of united strength which our Federation represents.
The great question before us is the orgarirsation for more membership. This is always before us. Can I ask all local committees, before retiring from my year of office, to give every effort to increase our membership?
There are many subjects to study, and a lot to know about the business world of to-day. Let us consider what the manufacturers are giving us to sell. I would like to see a campaign of selling goods with a sound knowledge of the articles, and not just a name ; it can be done and should be done, in this so-called time of modern methods.
We must look to the Federation movement, through the Greater London Council, to improve the status of tradesmanship.
I would like to thank all the Associations for many kind actions shown to Mrs. Thomson and myself during my year in office. Also, I trust the President-Elect will have as happy a time in his year of oftice.
My thanks are also due to Mr. Savage, the Council's Secretary, arid his family, for kind support.
Yours truly,
H. THOMSON.
