The One Big Union movement, which from the moment of its inception threatened to over- throw established methods of industry, is passing intc oblivion, and if newspaper reports may be accepted as a criterion no great time will have elapsed before labo: will have again settled down to its accustomed more 01 less placid surface. All but one or two of the Vancou- ver labor organizations have withdrawn from thé O B.
