Some people say that immediate in
dependent political action by the wage
earners along class conscious lines will
solve the labor problem. Others say
that trade unions, systematically or
ganized will pave the way, lead out the
hope and ultimately, through an evolu-
tionary educational process bring the
wage earners to a full realization of
labor's hopes and anllcipations. What
ever course is best remains to be seen.
