maintain and advance mans morals and
religious interests. While there is nothing
compelling any one in our country to sup
port his church, yet SO necessary do the
average church members believe the eX-
istence of their churches to he, that they
support them by voluntary offerings, tC
such an extent that the revenues OF all
together are only exceeded by those of the
state And within church organizations
ure many societies to aid the cause of
religion, or to relieve the condition OF theiI
poorer neighbors.
Social and charitable organizations are
found in every civilized country, and they
are rapidly increasing in numbers, as well
as in members. Akin to the charitable
associations are the insurance societies,
And Of like character are the friendly
societies of Great Britain, which care for
the sick and bury the dead.
Clergymen have organizations TO care for
their individual interests; lawyers, ply
SiCians and civil engineers have local and
State and even national organizations;
merchants, bankers and business men of
nearly all kinds have Organizations To adj
vance their interests, and not a few conf
bine in great trusts and control the prices
OF things in which they deal, refusing to
sell goods to those who will not deal with
them exclusively, or to those who do not
maintain the prices they put upon their
articles.
When nearly every class of people are
organized it cannot be expected that the
several classes of farmers, mechanics, rail
road employees and unskilled laborers should
remain without organization. When bUSi-
ness and professional men are associated
the interests of those unassociated must
be neglected And IL laboring people de-
sire the protection and advancement OF
their interests they must follow the ex-
ample of their more prosperous fellow
citizens
While this conclusion is indisputable.
only about one out of ten of the laboring
classes Of people are members of labor
organizations, and many of the makers of
public opinion and the prominent writers
in many of the greatest newspapers and
magazines discountenance such organiza-
tions. And often when employers go so
far as to refuse to employ men who are
members of labor organizations, they are
commended rather than rebuked for their
interference with the rights and liberties
OF individuals
These facts are to be deplored, for
If large numbers OF laboring people viii
not join their fellows in extending and
labor organizations, such or
CARNATIONS necessarily feil of exercising
their full power in advancing right ideas
among those for whose benefit they are
formed, and there is a great waste of this

in addition to the indifference of laboring

they may be trusted not to kill the goose
that lays their golden egg
The hope of those who have built up
labor organizations so far is firm that
those labor people who are not members
OF any organization will unite and keep
united with those organiZati Ons most
suited to them, whether they be unions"
assemblies" or 'brotherhoods If men
may be united for their good in govern
ments, parties, churches, social organiZa-
tions, charitable societies and insurance
associations, why may they not be united
for their good in labor organizations?
There are no associations of men in which
there are not difficulties to be overcome.
Men are made in such a way that they will
quarrel over means though united as TO
ends. The ambitions of men provoke an
tagOniSms as much as their interests, but
there are no difficulties connected with
labor organizations which should deter
any one who does manual labor from join
ing them. The expenses are not great even
in those which add to the cost Of maintain
ing the organization that of relieving the
sick and burying the dead members.
To those in other walks of life, who
have not regarded gabor orga anizations
with favor, appeal @ith confidence, for
1t needs only an i1vestga ton by unbiased
minds to secure asto1era ton if not an ad
vocacy of the aims Of labor organiza-
tions. The example of that eminent
thinker and man of letters, Prof. Rogers,
lately deceased, is sufficient to Justify this
opinion. Prof. Rogers spent the best years
Of his life in an investigation OF the social
ind t-i, Of
people, from the thirteenth to the nine
teenth centuries, the results of which are
pdblShed in his History of Agriculture
and Prices, Six Centuries of Work and
Wages, and the Economical Interpreta-
tion Of History" No man has made such
an exhaustive study of the labor question
as he. In his "Six Centuries of Work and
Wages which he characterizes as 1.-The
History Of English Labor he says, page
564:
II confess that in my earlier writings,
before I had studied the history of labor
and it's strange vicissitudes in England,
was of opinion, though with some mis-
givings, that the organization of q trade
union was directed against the consumer
the employer, that it appropriated
out of an elastic, but common fund, from
which labor was paid an undue share, and
thatit aimed at establishing an aristocracy
Of labor, from the benefits of which the
great mass of working people would be
excluded An inquiry into the history
Of labor has dispelled these opinions" On
page 523 of the same work he says: My
reader will observe that / set great
store by the reparative energy OF
1ota aorfy, inu
improving the material prospects
Of the working classes.
L confess to having at one time viewed
The times., 1897-04-04

often set upon the labor movement, thus
della yinS it's progress and limiting ITS
power to improve what in an older time
was designated as mans estate" This
movement of the labor people for better
organization is directly in line with Bacon s
motto: The glory of God and the relief
of mans estate,'' and embodias the idea
Of maintaining the right of man to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" ;"
which our immortal Declaration Of 1nde-
pendence declares to be ''inaienabe,"
and it is surprising that any one in favor
Of universal freedom and education can
be indifferent, or opposed, to it.
The education of the people, more than
three-fourths of whom belong to the
industrial classes, is undertaken to lift
the race TO higher civilization in which
a more perfect society Will be eduCed and
better governments constructed, or atleast
a better administration of the govern
ments we now have effected. Our educa-
tional system knows no inferior classes, it
is free to ALL and in many States it
is compulsory, and there are many truanG
officers to compel the attendance of
children to some school. To increase the
kno wledge of the people in affairs Of
of agriculture and labor, the governments
of the several States and of the United
States publish the laws and proceedings
of the legislative bodies, the decisions Of
courts and a vast amount of information
on social. geological and biological sub
jects that is of great interest and benefit
to the people. Those who have received
the benefits of our system of education,
and who expect their children shall enjoy
still greater benefits from it, should
not oppose or even regard with Indifference
the efforts of laboring people to extend and
improve their organizations, which in their
very nature are educational
They should insist, with Prof James r.
Thorold Rogers, that 1.-The utmost freedom
should be given to the efforts of labor
people to develop their organizations; that
"the fullest sympathy should be accorded
them,'' and 1.-THE kindlieSt criticism should
be given their errors and failures, and,
beyond all, they should be allowed to wit
ness no class privileges, bestowed and
fenced for their more fortunate fellow
countrymen, in the struggle for life.'
There is a fear, springing from the idea
that privileges heretofore enjoyed are in
danger rather than from anything done
or attempted to be done by labor organiza-
tions, that labor people viii exact more
than their share Of the profits arising from
the sale Of the joint products of labor and
capital This fear is not well-grounded,
for none know better than labor people
that to destroy. or even impair capital or
take from the capitalist his fair profit,
would injure themselves by depriying
them of employment. They are SO well
versed in the practical knowledge Of the
relations between labor and capital that |

them suspiciouslyi but long study OF
the history of labor has convinced me
that they are not only the best friends OF
the workman, but the best agency for the
employer and the public. and that to the
extension of these associations political
economists and statesmen must Iook for
the solution of some of the most pressing
and the most difficult problems of our
own time" And looking forward TO
future years, with the vision of a seer,
he says, page 402: II confess that / look
forward to the interna tional union of
labor partnerships as the best prospect
the world has of coercing those hateful
instincts of governments, all alike ire
sponsible and Indifferent, by which nations
are perpetually armed against each other,

mOralizatton of ALL
Labor organizations may be likened TO
joint stock companies. The stockholders
Of the latter join their money to engage
in trade or manufacturing because more
money may be made by engaging large
capital in business than a number Of
small ones. United they are better able
to produce articles cheaply as well as to
sell them in the best market Members
of labor organizations unite to better dis
pose of their labor, the only thing they
have to sell. They can do this better col
lectiyely than individually. They are bet
ter able to resist any effort to lower wages
or lengthen hours, and when opportunity
comes, to demand higher wages and short
er hours. If 1t is commendable for the
laws of the country to provide for the
incorporation of joint stock companies, that
the stockholders may make more money
on their united capital than on their In
dividual capitals, they should provide for
the formation of labor organizations by
which men may unite to obtain better
prices for their labor or shorter hours when
at work.
No person can fully understand the labor
question among English-speaking people
without having some knowledge of the his
tory of labor. This shall be the subject of

PLEA FOR LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
And "A History Of Their Relations TO
Industry, Society and Government.

Through the courtesy of the editor of
The Times 1 am enabled TO present this
plea for the cause of organized labor TO
the consideration, first, of those laboring-
men and women who are not members OF
organized labor, and, secondly, OF those
whose sympathy for mankind leads them
10 take an interest in the ameliorauon or
the condition of all classes Of people who
are engaged in lawful and well considered
efforts to improve their condition. And
may it not be hoped that it may be the
means Of bringing employers and employees
into closer relations, rs the interests OF
both are in the main identical. Good
government is necessary, both TO the en-
ployer and employe, for neither can pros
per when tie peace and order of society
is continually disturbed; the freedom OF
buying and selling is necessary to each,
and it is TO the interest of each that pro-
duction shall goon with the least possible
waste in the manufacture or raising of the
Joint product of both The interests OF
the employer and employe conflict chly
when they divide bet ween them the profits
of the articles which are the result of the
combined efforts OF both And it would
seem to IN impartial mind that there should
be little room for disagreementin dividing
these profits justly between them.
Governments are necessary among men,
even in a savage state; and as men ad-
vance in civilization they become more
and more necessary, but governments have
been unable to provide for all the social
wants of men, or to insure to them such
happiness as they desired 10 attain, and
therefore, among all peoples and in all
ages, social and other organizations have
been formed to protect and advance the in
terests and happiness of their members
and to save them to some extent from
the misfortunes of life. To have govern
mentS administered upon proper principles
and to advance the interests of all, party
organizations have been formed which
contend before the people for the control
OF the government, and often cliques,
cabals. and close organizations Of different
Kinds, have been formed inside of parties
for the benefit Of classes and the acquis-
tion or retention OF privileges by persons
TO the detriment of other classes and in
dividuals, for it is beyond contradiction
that what the privileged classes and III |
dividuals gain the great body Of the peo-
ple lose Therefore, when bad men have !
been combined to further individual or |
class interests, good men have been COM |
PEELED to associate to resist them and |
prevent the powers OF the government |
being used to rob the great body Of the |
people I'm the interests OF few.
