job, wages are low. Under the new con-
ditions Of factory and CAPT 2listic pro-
ducton, the element Of compel ton among
employers in q large measure ceased.
The conditions of the competition rad
changed and became unequal and unfair.
The number Of employees seeking employ
ment had increased, the number of mas
tiers seeking employees had decreased. In
place of 100 masters looking for work
men, there was perhaps on an average
only one.
EMPLOYERS DECREASING.
Take it in this great city of st. Paul,
I venture tC say that less than score
of concerns employ the thousands that
/ see before me. The number Of en-
ployers is still decreasing, at least rela-
lively. TIE saw thar the ordinary rules
of competition would work cut substan-
tial justice under such circumstances Is

ton fair, repeat the conditions must
be fair. The competing factors must be
on basis of substantial equality. Sncb
was not the condition when the employ
erS had been reduced in numbers, as l
have suggested. and had increased in
power by controlling larger proportion
in each instance of capital and the.
means Of production. Although pr"duc-'
urally and justly was entitled 10 larger
share of the pIoduct; or putting it in
other terms, higher wages, wages We're
arbitrarily kept down, and the workmen
resulting from the new methods of pro-
duction. Conditions became intolerab,e.
The laboring man, instead of pI ospering
with the increased products of his own
hands, became relatively poorer the more
he produced. And it is my firm belief,
that such would have been his condition
today had he not profted by the example
set by the masters and organized labor
as they organized capital.
By the organization of labor which has
now been in progress for nearly fifty
years, labor has reduced the conditions Of
competition between employer and en-
ploye to a basis of greater equality.
Against the employer employing hundreds
or thousands stands the organization Of
labor, numbering its hundreds and thou
sands, each acting as a unit. BY this
means labor is in a position in meas
ure. to have a voice in the question Of
wages as we'll as in regulating the hours
Of labor and other matters incident to the
employment. That the organization of
labor has resulted in great good and pre-
vented its degradation is, in my judg-
ment, established beyond question: and
that it is capable of further benefit, not

we passed a law providing for voluntary
arbitration. 1t has been a dead letter, as
l expected it would be. but it was the
best that could be accomplished at that
time. The decision of board which has
no power to compel the production of
books and papers, or the attendance of
witnesses, or to render a binding, en-
forcible decisicn,p has no greater weight
than the determination of debating
club. That amicable arbitration has done
much good 90 not deny. 1t is infinitely
better than no arbitration. 1t has settled
many strikes. But what sociey needs is
adequate provision for taking hold of the
controversy before the strike. What we
want is not a method for settling strikes
but system that will afford men and
women a right to hearing of their
grievances and TO speedy justice. with

regulation of strikes that 1 am pleading

The power of organized carital has not

have now attained dimensions that make
them a power for good if properly exer-

Under the old system there were al
most as many employers as there were
employees. AS many masters as there
were laborers. 1t is said, and truly,
by competition the same as the price
of commodities. Especially was this
true under the old conditions. We all

E. B. Lott is the most popular mem
Der of organized labor in the city CT St
Paul. This statement Is made on the
strength of the vote taken to ascertain
that fact at Fort Smelling yesterday. Mr..
Lott is proud of the honor bestowed upon
him, and SO are those who worked for
him. He did not, however, have things
all his own way. The contest was a
very spirited one, F. E. Hoffman being
only neck behind.
Mr.. Lott is a county commissioner, and
financial secretary of the Trades and
Labor assembly Mr.. Hoffman is ex-
president of the Cigarmakers' union
The winner of the contest has been
awarded valuable steel range, donated

The sports at Fort Smelling was a. fea-

far as the labor organizations at least
We're concerned, was of much inta-est.

ness interrupted, the lives and well be-
ing Of its inhabitants sacrificed, and all
because there was no power under the

submit to the arbitration which its en-

not convince US of the necessity of adopt-
ing a different method for solving this
