The labor programme for the TWEEN
tieth century is as follows: To organ
ize the yet unorganized workers. To
build up national and international un-
ions. To make our unions more ef-
feetive to protect the interests of the
toilers. To promote their welfare by
all possible methods. To safeguard
every step We have already gained. It
may be true that others by their SYM
! pathetic action may aid the workers
movement, but We resent the promises
and claims OF any and all that the bet
terment of labor or the abolition of any
form of injustice to the wage earners
depends upon any other power than
the federated labor unions of the coun-
try. Associated capital must be met
by organized labor. Workers as indi-
yiduals are to-day as much at the
mercy of the employing class as rud-
derless ship in a tempestuous sea is at
the mercy Of the waves aonpers, in
New York World.
