The objectives of this Association are to protect its members from unjust and injurious competition, and secure through unity of action among all workers of the industry throughout the United States and Canada, claiming, as we do, that labor is capital and is the only capital that possesses power to reproduce itself, or in other words, create capital. Labor is the interest underlying all other interests; therefore, it is entitled to and should receive from society and government protection and encouragement. 1, record 1, English, - United%20Association%20of%20Journeymen%20and%20Apprentices%20of%20the%20Plumbing%20and%20Pipe%20Fitting%20Industry%20of%20the%20United%20States%20and%20Canada
