he can bring about the substantial well
fare of himself and others. TO be ef-
fective, that which he attempts must
be practical. It must tend to some-
thing useful and effective. IS
There is nothing visionary or fantas-
tic in trade unionism; it is not "a
phantom, existing only in Imagination.
/; 1t is substantial, real, practical. In
the PROCESS Of trade Sunionism, the last
fifty years have witnessed such im-
provemnets in the condition of labor as
was never before recorded in the his
tory of the world. During that time,
the individual incomes of the working
classes have largely increased; the
rate Of mortality has decreased; con-
sumption of articles in general use has
Increased ;; there has been a gradual II
not general Improvement in >education;
d diminution Of crime and .pauperism;
vast increase in the deposits Of the
savings Of labor; an increase of con-
tentment and happiness is apparent
on every side; and many other indis-
putables evidences of the general well
fare of the masses. All this is more de-
tinitely traceable to trade unionism and
Its methods from the fact that the
wage earners of England and Amer
ica-where the trade union exists in
its purity and simpleness Of purpose
are not only paid higher wages, but
| their general condition Is far better
than the condition Of wage-earners in
! any other part of the world.
There has never yet been suggested a
complete remedy for poverty. AS has
! been said: Poverty in the only bur-
! ben which is not lightened by being
shared by others The condition Of
the masses in many of our large cities,
though somewhat improved Of late, is
still not of that character to present a
cheerful aspect. Poverty and distress
are still apparent in many quarters
Just how immediate relief for these con
ditions is to be brought about, no one
seems to be able to suggest or know:
Varied are the schools of political and
social reformers that have arisen pro-
posing remedies for poverty. each
claiming his as the, only true one.
Nearly all these remedies contain some
good ideas, but for some reason or
other, have all been considered objec-
tionable or iimpracticable, and so far
have borne no stable fruit. !. $
Trade unionism may not, as yet, have
accomplished all that is claimed for It.
1t has been moving slowly, but secure
ly, and the evidence Of It's ultimate
beneficence, IS its steady but certain
growth and the result Of. it's accom-
plishments for good apparent on every

tent improved the indilstrial con ton
OF labor. Al result have come the
social and ethical advantage Just men
toned. Just as the trust, however,
often refuses to deal with any who will
not confine their trade to the trust, so
the; union often refuses to work with
non-union men. 1t is aEpolicy Of force,
not very pleasant to contemplate, and
yet believe entirely defensible, and
even necessary. in the present social
conditions, so far, at least, as the UNI
ion Is concerned. If it is good thing
to raise wages, and if refusal to work

power Of the union in this direction
and If such refusal is not inherently
sinful, it may he defended as an inter-
ference with on's freedom Of action in
order to secure greater freedom from
poverty for all, since any general rise
in the wages of a trade secured by a
combination of workmen is likely to
raise the wages even in establishments
where only non-union labor is em-
ployed. y so ~.
While. the union resembles the trust
in many of it's aims and methods, it
differs from it in the following essen
itial points: The labor Organization
benefits millions instead of thousands;
it aids the poor who need improved
social conditions rather than the rich
who do not; it is far more democratic
in it's organization, for the labor union
usually admits to its membership at
any time all good workmen of the
trade who wish to join, and on terms
of. perfect equality, with equal chance
with old members to- secure the Off

The trade union has been compared
to- the modern trust. Tt ID strikingly
like the latter in some respects, but
different from it in others Like the
typical trust, many trades unions seek
to- obtain monopoly and secure mo-

the principle as that of a. "compulsory

Under the present economic organi-

men who have no special individual
reputation, as has the lawyer, the ply,

writer, are in fierce competition fer
employment. Those who will work
the cheapest are: likely TO spe hired.
Assuming that the many claimants for
employment have all a Spasaahle know
ledge of their trade, those that will
work the cheapest are likely to be
hired. Under these circumstances q
species of cutthroat competition arises,
and workmen. weak individually. with
out much financial resource or know

that they should receive. Business
prosperity is advanced by high pur-

develop this power is vastly more inn
